HP Spectre - Laptop hangs after wake from sleep - no display

[johnyg07]

Hi, I am facing problem with my HP spectre. I had Mojave then I upgraded to Catalina but there were several issues. So I restored the CCC backup of mojave.
I upgraded the BIOS and had to redo the patching. Now I have everything working except the after wake from sleep - the screen is blank and nothing works. even caps lock led does not turn on/off.

I had few hurdles on restoring the mojave so I removed touchscreen kexts, norton.

In the attached pmset logs, I see sleep failed log:

Can someone please help on how can I fix the sleep issue?

@johnyg07,

Having looked at your config about the only thing I can see that could cause the issue is that you are not enabling Native CPU power management. For a Kaby lake CPU MacOS needs to use the X86 Platfrom Plugin which should enable HWP control of the CPU.

Enable it by adding the "PluginType" key and string value of "1" to the SSDT section of your config.plist :-

        <key>SSDT</key>
        <dict>
            <key>DropOem</key>
            <false/>
            <key>Generate</key>
            <dict>
                <key>CStates</key>
                <false/>
                <key>PStates</key>
                <false/>
                <key>PluginType</key>
                <true/>
            </dict>
            <key>PluginType</key>
            <string>1</string>
        </dict>

Or you can do it in Clover Configurator :-

Once you have made the changes check that X86PlatfromPlug is present in your IOREG :-

See the following guide for full details of native PM for laptops :-

[Guide] Native Power Management for Laptops

Overview Power Management should be one of the first things implemented when trying to install OS X on a laptop. Because of heat/noise and battery life issues, using NullCPUPowerManagement is not a realistic option on a laptop. Fortunately, with Clover, NullCPUPowerManagement is never needed...

www.tonymacx86.com

Make sure Clover is up-to-date, i'm using r5045, you need to be aware that since r5000 Clover has a new folder structure for the EFI drivers, I can see that you are using an old version of clover (pre r5000) as you have the old folder structure. See this post for info on the new folder structure :-

macOS 10.14.6 Update

I lost sound. I am running the latest AppleALC.kext.

@jaymonkey

I see that x86Plugin is loaded under CPU in ioreg. I still went ahead and added plugin type 1 to config.plist and also added SSDT-XCPM.aml from rehabman's laptop power management guide.

I upgraded the clover to 5070 version. Took backup of current clover, installed new, and replaced files in the new setup.
I had to copy the AptioMemoryFix-64.efi in driver/uefi.

The problem remains the same. laptop goes into sleep but but when I press power button to wake, the laptop turns on but screen remains blank.

I reinstalled mojave yesterday but fresh install did not solve the problem.

I updated the BIOS to F40 version earlier this week. that could be have caused this issue.

The DSDT has these patches applied:
#fix_PARSEOP_ZERO.txt
#battery_HP-G6-2221ss.txt
#USB3 PRW 0x6D skylake instant wake
#OS check fix (windows 10)

@johnyg07,

You should only use one method, either allow Clover to set X86PlatformPlugin or use SSDT, it's not good practice to duplicate a procedure twice ...

I updated the BIOS to F40 version earlier this week. that could be have caused this issue.

If the problem started after you did the BIOS update then it could well be the source of the issue.
Have you tried flashing the the BIOS to the previous version ? ... that would prove the new BIOS is the cause ...

I haven't updated the BIOS on my Spectre X360 in a very long time ... i'm running version F.30

Cheers
Jay

 

[johnyg07]

if I were to investigate little bit further on this before the BIOS downgrade - can you point me towards some direction?

 

[johnyg07]

it appears that HP does not allow BIOS rollback on this laptop. now have to find a way to fix the sleep issue.

 

[johnyg07]

I did a fresh installation of Mojave but the problem has not resolved.

When I select sleep option from the apple menu from top left, the screen goes blank and after a few seconds power led start blinking which makes me think that OS has gone to sleep state.
When I click the power button again after a minute or two, power button led turns solid, the screen does not turn on, the fans runs after a few seconds but nothing happens. The caps lock led is also unresponsive. I have to hard reset the system as this time.

I have tried quite a few number of things but it has not helped so far.

here are clover boot arguments:

dart=0 nv_disable=1 -cdfon brcmfx-country=#a -disablegfxfirmware -igfxmlr -wegnoegpu -v

i see following significant messages in the logs during boot:

I added the ACPIDebug kext and added logs to _INI, _WAK and _PTS methods in DSDT.
I see the logs for _INI when the laptop starts but when I select sleep from menu and the laptop appear to go to sleep, i don't see any logs in the system log for any other method call.

kernel: (AppleACPIPlatform) ACPI: sleep states S3 S4 S5

can some provide some further direction on this?

EDIT:

I found following logs in console > /var/log > Diagnostic messages >

it appears that the messages logs after I resets the laptop after failed sleep.

I had problems with my build after bios update to F40 too. My symptoms were reboot instead of shutdown or sleep. Same on Windows or MacOS. Solution was to hard CMOS reset, means disassembly battery and unplug CMOS battery for 60 sec, next reset CMOS by key combination Windows + V and after it press power button for 60 sec.

Other thing, I'm not sure if you apply all patches. Should be according to guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-high-sierra-on-hp-spectre-x360-8th-gen-coffee-lake.251330/

Where is CMOS battery located? I opened the service manual, i could not find any reference to cmos battery.
I only see 1 big battery in it.


Edit: found it.
