[Guide] HP ProBook/EliteBook/Zbook using Clover UEFI hotpatch (10.11)

[RehabMan]

Hello, this guide succeeded for me, the only problem is that when I start the pc, clover loads and boot on macintosh HDD, apple logo appers and the loading bar loads and then there is a black screen, I can't access to my Mac. the only solution I found to access to Mac is to boot on clover usb and chose boot from HDD, can you help me please ? thanks !

Press your brightness up key.
If you still have an issue, connect external monitor and provide files requested in post #1, "Problem Reporting".

Also, please fix your profile... it is not filled out as requested in the guide/FAQ.
Reminder...

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
("Personal Details" link from "profile menu" in upper right corner of this site)

Mobo: manufacturer/model + bootloader(Clover/Chameleon/Chimera)
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
Mobo: HP ProBook 4540s (Clover)
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

Note: When specifying your bootloader, if using Clover legacy, please be sure to specify "Clover legacy"). Specifying "Clover" will be assumed as "Clover UEFI"

'When specifying your bootloader, if using Clover legacy, please be sure to specify "Clover legacy"). Specifying "Clover" will be assumed as "Clover UEFI', I don't know which step your are talking about ? thanks

Note : I tried to boot in verbose mode and these are the last 2 lines before black screen :
AppleKeyStore: operation failed
CodecCommander: no attempt to hook I0AudioDevice due to codec profile Disable

This guide uses Clover UEFI. So your profile's 'Mobo" field should read "HP EliteBook 8460p (Clover)"
CPU field should indicate actual CPU model and chipset (chipset is 6-series).

Note : I tried to boot in verbose mode and these are the last 2 lines before black screen :
AppleKeyStore: operation failed
CodecCommander: no attempt to hook I0AudioDevice due to codec profile Disable

Boot verbose, show photo. Attach EFI/Clover folder as ZIP (omit 'themes' folder).

Hi Rehabman , do you have idea about this color profile ?
Which one is better ?

Use whichever color profile you like. It is a personal choice.

You have more than the one patch you mention.
Delete or disable all 4360 patches from your config.plist, then test.
Report back with accurate EFI/Clover and result.

also delete two 5G patch.

 

[RehabMan]

also delete two 5G patch.

BTW, how are you collecting ioreg if you can't boot?
The ioreg shows WiFi working.

Sorry for stupid question but im looking for step by step guide to install sierra on my probook. Can i found here a guide for Idiots to install sierra like before for Yosemite (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...ite-on-hp-laptops-with-clover-uefi.143675/)??

The ioreg shows WiFi working.

The BCM94350ZAE have several problems reported by hackintosh community on most models like Dell XPS, HP XXXBook, Lenove XXPad etc. But it was reported successful working on other models (e.g., my ECS Liva Core).
After searching on google and tested on my elitebook so long times, I found all scenario was occurred on my elitebook folio 1020 g1. Let me list and explaining those:

0. Lose BCM94350
BIOS - System Information:

WLAN FCC ID: Test WLAN
Bluetooth FCC ID: Not Applicable

Under some condition, `WLAN FCC ID: Test WLAN' was disappear, there is no wi-fi hardware found in BIOS, and no wi-fi hardware found on laptop, even `lspci -nn'.
Repair: Remove AC adapter, wait Wi-Fi button status light/led off, then goto BIOS, WLAN comes back.

1. AirportBrcm4360 panic
If I remove AC adapter, wait Wi-Fi button status light/led off, the next boot will panic, so I boot into ubuntu first.

2. card installed/enabled, but cannot power on.

3. card can powered on, but no ssid search result.

4. once connect an ssid, but get 169.x.x.x ip.

5. once it works normally, may be after reboot from windows/linux.

PS: not finished.

Hello RehabMan, I can boot from HDD only if I copy the config.plist from the clover efi usb, if I follow your guide the config doesn't allow to boot, I still have a black screen.
By the way bluetooth works but wifi never worked even if I have the good Broadcom.
Battery percentage doesn't work and I can't enable the sound because I don't have the possibility to boot without caches. maybe I took a too recent clover uefi version ?
thanks again and again
