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

Not sure what you mean by "hit or miss on wake". What, specifically, is "hit or miss"?

Try setting portType to 4 on HP23 in SSDT-USB-4x40s:

MacBookPro8,2 is a better match anyway. Probably either will work, but you may need to rebuild cache (boot without cache, rebuild cache, reboot), as well as need a EC reset.



Read post #1, "Problem Reporting".

Note: Those features require BT4LE. Not sure your hardware is compliant.

Adding the "portType", 4, so far has fixed my camera issue. Btw, what was the purpose of adding that into the SSDT file? I'm actually quite curious as to what that changes?

My Bluetooth is a USB Dongle GMYLE Broadcom BCM20702 V4.0+EDR with Low Energy Technology. It was also recommended here on these forums for OSX because it supports Handoff, and Instant Hotspot and AirDrop. Which Handoff and AirDrop both work flawlessly

Thanks ibuff, did you install El Capitan on an i7-5500U (Broadwell)? Which graphic card? Last question: how can i check the series of the HP Laptop?

Hi,

see system details in my signature. I do not know how to figure out the serie as well. I atually figured it out by the issues that showed up as described within the guide.

So I can just use the same SSDTs then

Hi Rehab,
i have a 4530s with 10.10.5, i make the installer with clover ( not the legacy ) MBR mode.
I boot the pen drive with file BOOT/BOOTX64.efi, but i can't get to installer ( it crash and reboot and i don't know how to find boot log file ).
If i boot with the clover that i use for 10.10.5 ( the one on fixed disk ) i get to the installer.
I know that you have a 4530S, how do you create your pendrive installer ?

Best regards
Here's the file that i have on pendrive:

The portType appears in various hub port injectors for Apple's laptops (AppleUSBHub.kext Info.plist). The value of 4 is a wild guess, but is based on the fact it is not used very often, which might indicate it is used for camera ports. It could be that other values work too, but I haven't tested them. Apple uses 0, 2, and 4.

My Bluetooth is a USB Dongle GMYLE Broadcom BCM20702 V4.0+EDR with Low Energy Technology. It was also recommended here on these forums for OSX because it supports Handoff, and Instant Hotspot and AirDrop. Which Handoff and AirDrop both work flawlessly

Recommend instead that you replace the internal BT/WiFi card with BCM94352HMB.

No.

sleepimage when used for hibernation is a file, not a directory.

It is a directory after doing the recommended fix, and if still in place, no need to redo the fix.

Yes... in fact, same EFI/Clover folder.

Boot verbose, show photo. Post EFI/Clover folder as ZIP (omit 'themes' folder).

Thats sweet guess you don't have to re-patch anything then.
