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

Read post #1, "Problem Reporting".
Note: My data for 5x30 is that it has DP, not HDMI.
From makefile:

# 5x30m is IDT7605, HD3000, non-Intel USB3, DP

Ok I managed to make hdmi audio work by applying the patch I use for 4430s

RehabMan I am looking to pickup a laptop with backlit keyboard (or capable of backlit) and FHD display. Would you recommend 1 of the HP laptops supported in this guide or a diff brand model?

Elitebook G2 and G3 are backlit. I have the Elitebook 850 G2 and it runs perfectly using the guide provided by Rehabman.

The data I have for the 5x30 is that it has DP (provided by someone on this thread). Is it inaccurate?

Read post #1, "Problem Reporting".

Report is attached. Found problems at this moment:
- apple logo is flickering (many logos appearing in a row) one time for a half of second during OS X loading
- brightness level is not saving between restarts
- no sleep by closing LID
- fn keys for brightness and sound are not working. Update: working without fn key pressed sound level decrease/increase; sound off is not working but icon appears at the screen; working without fn key pressed brightness level increasing (both keys are increasing level)
- some times Wi-Fi is losing Internet connection

See here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/fix-skylake-menu-bar-glitch-fix.206400/

- brightness level is not saving between restarts

You forgot EmuVariableUefi-64.efi and perhaps the "RC scripts".

- no sleep by closing LID

Keep in mind 15-20 second delay and the fact that all assertions must clear first ('pmset -g assertions').

- fn keys for brightness and sound are not working. Update: working without fn key pressed sound level decrease/increase; sound off is not working but icon appears at the screen; working without fn key pressed brightness level increasing (both keys are increasing level)

Your kexts are not up-to-date. Run ./download.sh and ./install_downloads.sh as per guide.

- some times Wi-Fi is losing Internet connection

Disable or delete the 5ghz patch in your config.plist (I will be pushing an update to the repo soon).

Note: Do not use trimforce. It is not needed as we already have a patch for trim in config.plist.

Your profile is not filled out as requested in the guide...

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
("Personal Details" link from "profile menu" in upper right corner of this site)

Mobo: manufacturer/model + bootloader(Clover/Chameleon/Chimera)
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
Mobo: HP ProBook 4540s (Clover)
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

Note: When specifying your bootloader, if using Clover legacy, please be sure to specify "Clover legacy"). Specifying "Clover" will be assumed as "Clover UEFI"
