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

It will be easier when I merge 'beta' into 'master'.
More feedback from those using the beta branch would be helpful in making that happen sooner.

Now the brightness keys don't do anything and I don't even see brightness option in System prefs -> Displays

Your files are not up-to-date with respect to the beta branch.
In SSDT-HACK.aml, BKLT should be 1, but you have it zero.
SSDT-PNLF.aml is the old version.
The ioreg shows IntelBacklight.kext still installed, even though the new install_downloads.sh deletes it.
Your config.plist does not have the new patches for AppleBacklight.kext.
And your kextcache output shows that AppleBacklightInjector.kext is not installed.

I have no idea what is going on, here is what I am doing:
cd ~/Projects/probook.git
git status
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/beta'.
./download.sh
./install_download.sh
build.sh
./install_acpi.sh install_8x0g3_skylake

I checked SSDT-HACK and it is now 1, was zero before. I am not seeing IntelBacklight.kext

Still have no functional brightness keys and no brightness in System Prefs - Displays

You forgot to update your config.plist.

Read post #1, "Problem Reporting".

My fault, thought that was for developers only, here they are.

 

[the_chiefgeek]

You forgot to update your config.plist.

Ok I got that updated this time. Well i am still missing something.

Still no brightness.

This ioreg proves you did not boot with the config.plist you attached in EFI/Clover.
From your Clover bootlog (extracted from ioreg):

0:336  0:000  KextsToPatch: 17 requested

But the config.plist attached has 19 patches. The two missing patches are the ones for AppleBacklight.

Your config.plist is wrong. Read post #1, "Final config.plist"

I installed 10.12.3 with this guide. After complete, except sound everything is OK. I tried to boot without cache but can't find the option on the Clover boot screen. I bypass and rebuild cache with this:

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

After the first restart, sound still be disabled, screen lose brightness
After the second restart, sound is OK, screen still lose brightness
I tried to reset EC but no changes.
I re run "./install_downloads.sh", "./install_acpi.sh", "ssdtPRGen.sh" but I lose sound again and screen still lose brightness.
What did I do wrong and how can I fix this? @RehabMan
Update: After update to 10.12.4, I run post-installation again and get my sound working but my screen brightness still very low despite full brightness bar in display preference . Any ideas?
