    [Guide] HP ProBook/EliteBook/Zbook using Clover UEFI hotpatch (10.11)

    I'm trying to convert my current 10.11.6 installation based on the Probook Installer and I'm getting a few errors when running install_downloads.sh (...) installing BrcmNonPatchRAM2.kext to /Library/Extensions installing USBInjectAll.kext to /Library/Extensions Creating...

    HP Probook Installer Clover Edition

    Which directory takes the precedence during boot? Aren't the kexts being loaded twice (first from /EFI, then from /S/L/E)? Boot.log shows that Clover injects them from /EFI: 3:422 0:000 Preparing kexts injection for arch=x86_64 from EFI\CLOVER\kexts\10.10 3:423 0:001 Extra kext...

    HP Probook Installer Clover Edition

    I upgraded my existing installation (it was on Clover@3192 I believe) with PBI 6.4.0.1 and now I have the same kexts in both /EFI/EFI/Clover/kexts/10.10 and /System/Library/Extensions. Is it safe to remove them from /EFI? Also, there's BrcmPatchRAM.kext even though I have an Atheros, not...

    Backlight Control

    @RehabMan I've used the patch and installed the resulting kext on my 4530s running El Capitan PB 1 and while it fixed the issue with backlight range consisting only of the highest levels (the lowest one available being way too bright), changing levels isn't as smooth as it used to be on Yosemite...

    HP Probook Installer Clover Edition

    So what was the initial thought behind putting all the kexts into /EFI folder? Wasn't it about simplifying the OS update process, so that you wouldn't have to re-run Probook Installer?

    HP Probook Installer Clover Edition

    Let's say 10.10.4 update in the future. Assuming that copying kexts from /EFI to /S/L/E is the 'first step' and eventually there will be no kexts in /EFI anymore (except for the critically required ones), do the kexts in /S/L/E survive an OS update? Does one have to re-do PBI:CE after such an...

    HP Probook Installer Clover Edition

    Seeing that installing kexts to /S/L/E has landed in the newest version (https://bitbucket.org/dhnguyenit/hp-probook-installer-clover-edition/commits/017b0272a623f7ab3a08b1424af9840c3651a027), what's the procedure now with OSX updates? Asking out of curiosity, my current installation works...

    Yeah, it's late here and I'm quite tired - haven't thought about googling it... Sorry and thank you.

    Guide To Install Yosemite on HP Laptops with Clover UEFI

    I'm getting lots and lots of [IOBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport]xxx errors in the log, and since I don't use bluetooth at all - which pins should I tape in order to disable bluetooth completely? I've got the AR5B195 card.

    The clicking sound

    I know the pain. I've helped my friend few months ago with her faulty hard drive and diagnosing the issue is indeed sometimes the hardest part of it :) I've used a tool called MHDD (http://hddguru.com/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/), which you use by booting up a CD with it. It is a very powerful...

    The clicking sound

    10 per second?! This can't be the head parking. Too aggressive APM setting results in drive's head being parked once every ~10-20 seconds (from my experience). I suggest you run a thorough test of the hdd itself, there might be something wrong with it - but yet, if I recall correctly you said it...

    The clicking sound

    There's something wrong with permissions on the hdapm.plist file, try repairing permissions. Also - you could try lower APM values. If you're 100% sure that on 230 it still clicks - set it to 220. You can do it by using sudo hdapm 220 command, without restarting. Make sure to monitor the...

    The clicking sound

    32k load cycles is okay. Depends obviously on how long the HDD's been running (power-on hours), but generally manufacturers rate their hard drives to run safely up to 300k-500k load cycles (more or less). The clicking sound is caused by your hdd's head being parked. It is a feature that does...

    The clicking sound

    It does work, you just haven't configured it properly. Currently APM is set to 254, I suggest you to lower it to, let's say, 230 - that's the setting I've been using for my Toshiba HDD (MK3261GSYN - just like yours but 320GB). You can do it by manually modyfing /Library/LaunchDaemons/hdapm.plist...
