Status
Not open for further replies.
I have only problem with framebuffer.
And uhd 630 acceleration.
Anyway thanks a lot for your help :)
 
I'm glad I can confirm my HP ProDesk 600 G4 i7-8700 is a running Hackintosh.
System Model: HP Elitedesk 600 G4 SFF, 256Gb NVMe, 16Gb (2*8Gb), DVD-RW, Dell U3415W
Processor: Intel Core i7 8700
Graphics: Intel UHD 630

Sleep/wake is unreliable. Wifi and Bluetooth are not (yet) working as I am waiting for delivery of a PCI-card to put in my Broadcom BCM94360CDAX. Everything else I can think of works.
 
ItalFrk i have the g4 mini....i58500T cpu...how get it to work...always hangs at APFs...Thanks much..
 
I'm running Mojave 10.14.6. Don't want to upgrade to Catalina. My scanner/printer (Samsung SCX-3405) isn't supported. My EFI you will find attached. I use Clover as bootloader. Wifi works due to a PCI-card with Broadcom BCM94360CDAX. Bluetooth works with a Asus USB-BT400 dongle.

I've got it in working in a dual boot configuration. OSX next to Windows10Home. No issues (besides sleep/wake).

The tutorial for the HP EliteDesk series computers was very helpfull setting up my computer as a Hackintosh. I had to add the USBInjectAll.kext to the USB-stick (in Clover, kexts, Other) to prevent mouse pointer freezes during installation of OSX.

Thank you for your post. It got me started with my solution (which ended up being significantly different). I compared my G4 EFI (see my solution here) to your G4 EFI and noticed the following differences. Posting in case this helps anyone.
  • I'm not using any of the XHCI..kexts. Use USBInjectAll.kext with custom SSDT-UIAC (created with Hackintool)
  • I'm not using CodecCommander. I'm using AppleALC with Layout ID 28
  • I'm using IntelMausi for Ethernet, Lilu / WhateverGreen for multi-display IGPU
  • See device properties in my config.plist for IGPU properties I used for 3 DP ports (with DP -> DVI adapter)
  • I injected IGPU device properties with Clover properties / WEG, so I'm not using Clover ig-platform-id
  • I used different KextsToPatch. The most important kext patch for me was the AppleGraphicsDisplayPolicy patch to allow multiple displays with UHD 630 IGPU
  • I'm using MacMini8,1 instead of iMac18,1. I think it's a much better SMBIOS match for the EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini

I started a new HP EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini thread here. I'll be updating this to become a guide.

Did you ever get this to work? I have the same G4 mini with the i5 8500 processor and am currently getting hung up at the APFs as well.
