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

[Euro321]

Not really.
If you already had it mounted as /Volumes/ESP, it leaves it mounted there (note that it also displays the current mount point).

You probably ran it after using the Clover installer. The Clover installer mounts EFI to /Volumes/ESP (if not already mounted).

If EFI is currently unmounted, mount_efi.sh uses /Volumes/EFI for the EFI mount point.

Yeah, I used your version of Clover. It's rock solid ! I tested FileVault on Mojave but no keyboard or touchpad on boot screen. I don't know what EFI driver I really need but I will research.

Apple removed Atheros WiFi support in Mojave.
Install BCM943252HMB instead.

I followed your guide. But brightness controls are glitchy. They worked one time. After I rebooted the laptop, I cant get it to work...tried restarting many times, still not working...

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

Hello rehabman
I juste update my probook 4540s To the latest clover and then updated kext according to your guide in the fisrt page.

After rebooting macos no more booting. It juste stuck on the apple logo. Am on macos 10.12.5

Tried all options from clover -v, -s, with and without injected kext etc...

Any help please ?

Don't forget you must update config.plist and ACPI files (install_acpi.sh).

Probook 4440s Updated to Mojave, sound is intermittent now. Everything else is working seemingly well.

You did not follow the guide.

The guide scripts do not install such kexts:

Kext with invalid signatured (-67062) allowed: <OSKext 0x7fe67f6a28f0 [0x7fffa8fa58e0]> { URL = "VoodooHDA.kext/ -- file:///Library/Extensions/", ID = "org.voodoo.driver.VoodooHDA" }
Invalid signature -67050 for kext <OSKext 0x7fe67f8318e0 [0x7fffa8fa58e0]> { URL = "VoodooI2CServices.kext/ -- file:///Library/Extensions/VoodooI2C.kext/Contents/PlugIns/", ID = "com.alexandred.VoodooI2CServices" }
Invalid signature -67050 for kext <OSKext 0x7fe67f823ac0 [0x7fffa8fa58e0]> { URL = "VoodooI2C.kext/ -- file:///Library/Extensions/", ID = "com.alexandred.VoodooI2C" }
Kext with invalid signatured (-67050) allowed: <OSKext 0x7fee6300ea80 [0x7fffa8fa58e0]> { URL = "VoodooGPIO.kext/ -- file:///Library/Extensions/VoodooI2C.kext/Contents/PlugIns/", ID = "org.coolstar.VoodooGPIO" }
Kext with invalid signatured (-67050) allowed: <OSKext 0x7fee62f8b500 [0x7fffa8fa58e0]> { URL = "VoodooI2CHID.kext/ -- file:///Library/Extensions/", ID = "com.alexandred.VoodooI2CHID" }

Note also issues with mismatched I2C kexts (which should not have been installed anyway -- your laptop has no I2C). This mismatch destabilizes kernel cache:

Kext with invalid signatured (-67050) allowed: <OSKext 0x7fe67f7a2ac0 [0x7fffa8fa58e0]> { URL = "VoodooI2CHID.kext/ -- file:///Library/Extensions/", ID = "com.alexandred.VoodooI2CHID" }
VoodooI2CHID.kext - no compatible dependency found for com.alexandred.VoodooI2C.
VoodooI2CHID.kext is missing dependencies (including anyway; dependencies may be available from elsewhere)
kext file:///Library/Extensions/HSSDBlockStorage.kext/ is in hash exception list, allowing to load

Also, I can see you have AppleALC.kext installed (shown in kextcache output). Although you can use AppleALC with the applealc branch, for the 4x40 (and any other laptop using IDT 76d9) require a version of AppleALC.kext that is not released yet (I fixed a bug in it, it has been accepted, but the prebuilt is not on github yet, and I don't know when a build will appear). You would need to build it from sources.

So, your tasks:
- clean up the mess with wrong kexts
OR
- do a fresh install

And...
- build current AppleALC.kext and install it
OR
- switch to the master branch

@RehabMan

I found a bug in your Clover (latest release from your Github):

Automatic boot in 5 seconds is stuck.
