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

[RehabMan]

I can’t see solution in your answer (i am already using your repository). So, how to upgrade clover without losing all content in current efi folder?

Solution is obvious: Use the Clover installer to install the latest RehabMan Clover.

Using the Clover installer will not cause risk "losing all content in current efi folder".

Thank you for your patience ! Clover updated to newest one (https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/clover/downloads/)
What i just noticed - automatic boot not working (timer is "freezed").

Below are config.plist changes after clover update:


Tomorrow i'll try to test "lock screen issue"..

I've seen it too... bug in upstream Clover, I think...
Maybe will be fixed when I sync to latest svn source...

Below are config.plist changes after clover update:

Best to use DefaultVolume as is.... then set default volume in SysPrefs->Startup Disk.

Hello Rehabman

./install_acpi.sh install_9x70_hires Q

I created .aml files and SSDT.aml file for ACPI with the above command.
But as shown in the attached picture, CPU ambient, CPU heatsing and Fan rotation speed does not appear.
4 files were created in the ACPI / patched folder.
SSDT-9x70.aml, SSDT-FANQ.aml, SSDT-IGPUH.aml, SSDT.aml
How can I solve this?

FakeSMC sensor kexts are not installed by default.
If you want them, you can use _tools/install_sensors.sh:

cd ~/Projects/probook.git
git pull
./download.sh
./install_downloads.sh
./_tools/install_sensors.sh

Note: The above assumes current applealc branch. The master branch uses 'tools' instead of '_tools'.

Once you install the sensor kexts, install_downloads.sh is smart enough to keep them up-to-date (logic: "don't install sensor kexts if they are not there already,... but if they are there, update with those that were recently downloaded").

Once I downloaded the config file 9x70m, it improved.
Thank you

Your profile says 4540s. The 9x70m config plist is not for 4540s.

But as far as sensors provided by ACPI, don't expect them to work without proper config.plist and ACPI/patched setup.

Your audio codec does not depend on the fix in my special AppleHDA.kext.
I cannot predict when the owner of Lilu/AppleHDA github will create a new build.

The FAQ covers properly installing kexts in /L/E with Terminal:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/

this meens that after you /.install_downlods.sh we have to install AppleALC.kext (if we switched to applealc branch), attached to this thread, wright ?

Actually, I just merged branch 'applealc' into 'master' (the old master branch is available in branch 'archive').
So when you sync to the current master:

git checkout master
git pull

Then run post install steps...
After that, you'll be using AppleALC.kext.
Don't forget to update your config.plist and ACPI as everything has changed.

The scripts download.sh and install_downloads.sh automatically download the latest AppleALC.kext and install it. The only special requirement is for laptops with IDT 76d9 (IDT92HD87B2_4) as it requires a fix I made for AppleALC.kext which has been merged into official AppleALC sources, but for which a build has not been created on the github site for AppleALC.kext. That's why I attached the AppleALC.kext with the fix to post #1 (and anyone can use that version,... but 4x40 owners must).

I'm not sure what you installed to cause incompatibility with AptioMemoryFix*.efi (using it here on my 4540s just fine).
It is clear you didn't follow the instructions in the guide.
Try safe mode.

No
I Already have follow your guide..I want to try Mojave so I update patch repository and got black screen..I have 8470p and you have 4540s. it's Different
on my 8470p I got error prelinked kernel

so i decide to erase my macOS system volume..and fresh install Mojave..and guest what ? my 8470p restart immediately when trying to install acpi smart battery
I Uploaded it to youtube
