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

Hi

I just tried to install Sierra using this guide. Works great, thank you!

There are two minor issues:
1) audio jack does not work (tested with both layouts 5 and 7)
2) battery is also 0% even if it is fully charged.

Earlier in El Capitan battery indicator worked for me as expected. But in Sierra it is equal to zero all the time.

(Report is attached)

Check that your BIOS is up-to-date.
Also, do EC reset.

I could remove it, it will be replaced anyway when my BCM4352Z card arrive. Will try and report.

I tend to think it is that, or a BIOS setting issue.
No other reports of the same issue.

Now battery indicator works for me. Thank you very much!
I updated BIOS from v1.15 to v1.17.

Removed the card and now the laptop goes to sleep normally without instant wake, but the lid still doesn't behave normal. Sometimes it puts the laptop to sleep, sometimes after 20-30 seconds instead of sleeping the default notification sound start to ring like crazy, just like someone hits the keyboard constantly and the display backlight goes completely off. In order to reboot, I usually hold down the power button for 3 seconds and then hit the Enter key to shut the laptop down.
Maybe I should reinstall macOS, now that I have compete EFI folder.

EC reset?

EC reset?

Tried that several times already, no effect.

You might want to try a fresh install.
No other similar reports.

I too have had this problem in the past as well. I don't recall if I ever found a suitable solution, I just stopped putting it to sleep that way. The only consistent sleep wake pattern that works for me is to unplug from power source and put to sleep via menu then close lid after the leds start flashing in sleep mode. When returning to a power source I have to wake it up before plugging in the power cord or it never detects the power cord plugged in.

@RehabMan in your sample ProBook configs the "10.10.2+ 5Ghz US FCC, the-darkvoid" is set with MatchOS only to 10.10.x and 10.11.x. Shouldn't the MatchOS value include 10.12.x too since it's named "10.10.2+"?
