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

[RehabMan]

I think the problem is in the bios of Hp that for some reason does not look for boot files on port m.2 automatically, although manually, through the option "F9 -... boot from EFI file" it does detect the m.2 drive and can boot from it
. When I get home I will try with "efibootmgr".
Anyway, have you heard of any probook 640 g1 that has been able to boot the notebook from the EFI partition on the disc m.2?
Thanks and sorry if i have been inaccurate

Also check your BIOS options for an option to set a custom entry.

iMessage guide is linked from post #1 (any iMessage troubleshooting is off-topic here).

Let me know how it works with a different monitor...
Also, don't forget to fix your profile (the Mobo field should indicate make/model/bootloader).
Check BIOS settings also...

Hi Rehabman, exactly the same problems with an HP EliteDisplay E231 monitor connected directly to the DisplayPort connection, Tried both patches independently and together. Turning the monitor on or off just causes a crash and no second display picked up anywhere. I can see the monitor scanning inputs but just says no signal received.
I've checked the BIOS settings and everything looks OK, they match your recommendations in post #1 where they are available.
Struggling to find any specific mobo details, everything just comes back with HP 1993 although I know it's Haswell.
I'm thinking of re-installing Windows 10 to double check everything again even though external display worked fine last time I did that. May get some more info on the mobo that way as well. Then I'll rebuild from scratch again. Anything else I can try before doing that? Thanks.

Make sure BIOS is current.
Attach photos of all BIOS setting screens.
No other similar reports with your hardware, so suspect it is something specific with your setup...

Yes i tried this first but no chance to select m.2 drive.
im playing with efibootmgr, i remove all entries and create new one to clover on the m.2 drive and take apart de hdd drive,

You should check that \efi\boot\bootx64.efi, exists on partition 04758577-7fed-4e5f-a8ac-370d09c16317, and that the partition is the EFI partition and that it is formatted FAT32.

Yes i tried it too, fitst cloning working hdd to m.2, dont boot, then formating all m.2 from osx , convert to fat32 and installing clover and neither..

As far as I know, installing OS X is similar to installing Windows. When you install OS X on the target volume, it'll automatically create an ESP (EFI System Partition) on the target volume as long as the installer is booted via UEFI as well. No need to partition a drive for CLOVER and OSX. If your installing OSX on a user made CLOVER partition, then that would explain why the UEFI BIOS won't boot from it without manually selecting it.

Ya, the build-in DP interface should work with your default AML files. My HP 840 G3 could support a 3-screen-display, build-in screen, one DP (either the build-in DP or a DP of the dock) and one VGA of the dock.

As per posts, I am interested in something like 'boot order' in your BIOS. For HP's BIOS, I am sure that it could automatically boot from a disk if you could boot it from the F9 menu.
BTW, how did you 'clone' the hdd?
