HP EliteDesk 800 G2 / HP ProDesk 600 G2 - SUCCESS

[tph33]

I finally got my EliteDesk 800 G2 TWR running with Dual Monitors (see below)

Were your USB 3.0 ports working straight away or did you have to fix them? I have the same machine, but I can't actually remember how I set it up! It was a combination of Sakoula and something else, but I think I also used Vanilla EFI rather than anyone else's. Everything appears to be working except for USB 3.0 so I'm scared of stuffing things up if I use another EFI.

Sakoula has some of his ports disabled on purpose. I havent fiddled to enable them again purely because Im fine with the amount of ports available to me at the moment

Anyone upgraded to 10.14.6 yet?

I managed to get all the USB 3.0 ports to work at full speed!

Pretty easy in the end, following a guide I found online - but I can't seem to post the link here. Moderators haven't approved it, I think.

Anyway, for those having the same issue, you just need to go to Clover Configurator, choose Kernel and Kext patches on the left menu, click on the drop down List of Patches, and choose the USB 10.x patch by PMHeart that fits your macOS version. Save, reboot and done!

Mine is a mini tower i7 - here's the EFI. Not sure if it will help you, as my sleep was also not working (it would freeze on wakeup). However, I didn't need sleep as my hackintosh is acting as a server, so I disabled sleep completely using the Sudo pmset commands in Terminal - Google for instructions.

Actually, this EFI might have been from before I applied the USB 3.0 Patch with Clover. However, it's really easy to do so you can do it yourself, and better apply the right patch for your macOS version too.

Hello. I am extremely frustrated after having spent 2 days trying to install hackintosh on an Elitedesk 800 G2. I have an old macbook, so I can only try with High Sierra (Unibeast+Clover Install+the EFI.zip in the first post). It boots ok, starts the install aswell, but when it writes 2 minutes remaining, it just reboots and starts over with the PC giving POST error from BIOS saying the date and time is incorrect. I changed the CMOS battery, just to make sure as it was so unbelievable, but unfortunately the error persists, goes over and over.
I tried Mojave with another install method, where I can copy the clover an the Install partition under Windows. Copied whole EFI dir from sakoula's github repo, which is suitable for Mojave but unfortunately, it hangs during first boot.
So, here I am with a nice machine, and no way of gettin Mac OS on it.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

For anybody struggling with the dual displays via the HD 530 iGPU like I did, the following patch worked for me:

Place the patch in your Clover config.plist, under Devices > Properties.

To reproduce this patch from scratch, just run HackinTool and patch the 0x19120000 framebuffer as follows:

I've found that the patch does not take effect until the kextcache is manually rebuilt: sudo kextcache -i /
