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

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hey guys, I need a helping hand creating the USB installer so that I can reach the installer screen (always reboots with End random seed and some extra messages which are to quick to read in verbose and debug doesn't seem to hold/work there). I was trying to follow to RehabMan's guide to the letter which worked some year ago nicely for 10.12.6. But I can't pull it off for 10.13.6. God knows why.
This is where I come from:
- Bios settings as recommended and pgraphics preallocation set
- used terminal to create partitions on usb thumbdrive
- Used his guide for USB clover installer: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/
- I tried Rehabman's latest clover build from here: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/clover/downloads/ (2018-10-10). But the standard clover settings for UEFI drivers doesn't come any close to his UEFI drivers screenshot. I quote: "the defaults for Drivers64UEFI are recommended" - that doesn't come even close to his screenshot: drivers64uefi-png.353014
- As these recommended settings (HFSPlus.efi was added manually of course) failed me to reproduce the given screenshot, I added the missing files from here: https://github.com/athlonreg/Clover_Build/tree/master/drivers64UEFI to complete the screenshot recommendations
- kexts added manually as per recommendation (screenshot)
- I also gave it a try to turn off the patch of RehabMan's config.plist because quote: "If your laptop has DVMT-prealloc set as required (64MB or 128MB), you should disable or remove the 32MB patch. You will find such patches in config.plist/Devices/Properties/PciRoot(0)/Pci(0x02,0)." I used PlistEdit Pro for the job.

And yet... I can't make it to the installer screen. Reboot after reboot. I tried dropping tables, -x as clover option - nothing got me to the desired installer screen :banghead:
added note: sometimes I manage to read that my cpu might not be supported - but the text is too fast and I have never/ haven't swapped the cpu since 10.12.6.
I'm lost. Please help
Thank you so much

and I believe the renaming string for terminal in the USB installer creation guide for HIGH Sierra has a typo:
# rename
sudo diskutil rename "Install macOS Sierra" install_osx
I think it should read "macOS High Sierra"

Hello RehabMan I have a hp EliteBook 8470p 8GB DDR3 Intel HD4000 and 500GB HDD when I boot the uefi hackintosh high Sierra installer I get a weird graphical glitch at the apple logo boot I don’t understand what’s going on I’ll send a screen shot later to day plz help me thx.
 
Hi RehabMan,

First, thanks for all the work that you put into all of this and us. Really thank you.

second: problem files attached. hopefully ok this way. via the tool

Now my questions:

I am following this guide to the letter.

I have a Probook 4740s, I5-3210M Ivy bridge CPU, HM76 chipset, Intel HD4000 graphics (1600x900)


1. I guess I need the "Piker-Alpha / ssdtPRGen.sh", but would like to Confirm.

2. Also, do I need the "-w 3" in the "./ssdtPRGen.sh" command? or, how can I tell if I need it??

3. Also: how do I know if I need this:

"Note regarding XCPM on Ivy: For certain troublesome Ivy Bridge CPUs, you may need to use config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/KernelXCPM=true. If you choose to use this option, you can delete ACPI/patched/SSDT.aml and set config.plist/ACPI/SSDT/Generate/PluginType=true."

4. Form previous post I understand that I need the "./install_acpi.sh install_4x40_hires" because of the 1600x900 display. Right?

Yes, I am a Dummy in this, learning a lot here and very great full for everbodys help and understanding.

kind regards.

Hmm, I see now that I am in the old "wrong" guide. moved the question to the new guide. sorry.
 
Hey guys,

I recently did an update from 10.13.4 to 10.13.6 on my Probook 4530s i7 2760qm 12GB (clover) and I have gained a few problems after doing the upgrade.

1) I have numerous graphical glitches and freezes, such as lines across the screen as I scroll and all. The worst is that the computer seems to freeze, but the mouse still moves (but doesn't click) and the only thing that can fix it is a hard reset. (had this on 10.13.4 as well, but once in a blue moon).

2.) my boot times after updating (from clover to login screen) have gone up significantly (about 2 min vs about 30 seconds previously).

3.) (just a small annoyance) my battery indicator doesn't switch to "on battery" after being unplugged; instead, it switches to "not charging, AC Power", however, when booted up with only battery power, it shows that it's on battery.

Please let me know what I can do to solve these issues. I know I am running AFPS, but aside from that, I updated my system just as the guide recommends. My problem reporting files have been attached below.

Hi Rehabman,
a happy and healthy 2019 to all of you!
I'm returning to the problem of getting to the installer screen on my aforementioned G2 450 Probook. As I cannot use the error reporting script for obvious reasons, I would be grateful if you could have a closer look at the screenshots I was trying to get as they are scrolling through very quickly. The second part includes the required EFI folder without themes and with clover doing its F2-F4 thingy in the acpi folder. A helping hand would be awesome!
the screenshots are in reverse order :banghead:
