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

[mihai.torlac]

Post Installation

Install Clover UEFI as described in the guide linked by the previous section (post #2). After installing Clover, and configuring it correctly (config.plist, kexts, etc, just as you did for USB) you should be able to boot from the HDD/SSD. The configuration at this point should be exactly the same as USB. Don't forget both HFSPlus.efi and HPFanReset.efi.


please mr. rehabman , help me . .... I did install clover to Hdd drive as instructed , but my computer is not booting , so please offer me a solution for preparing and configuring clover correctly ( where to find clover ? on my hdd ).
thank you .

As per guide, the EFI partition on your HDD can be mounted with the mount_efi.sh script. Read post #1.

Hi

I'm using a laptop with a docking station. I managed to get the USB-ports of the docking station functional only by using kernel flag '-uia_ignore_rmcf'. As mentioned in the guide that it is not recommended way of running in a long run so I'm requesting that if you could provide a proper SSDT for USB.

I attached some stuff for USB customization. Hopefully there are all the required files.

You could try this SSDT-USB-8x60.dsl:

Your previous Clover folder was using the wrong config.plist.

Yes I know, but the 6470 config from the repository wont boot as per previous reply its as if it boots without any information as in the clover boot screen its all blank

Here is the attached config that wont boot
