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

[the_gael]

Maybe you have the onboard BT controller disabled in BIOS.

The Bluetooth module was removed from this laptop prior to my purchase. I have now also ordered a Bluetooth module for the laptop (it was cheap on eBay). Hopefully adding the module will do the trick or the dongle.

SOLVED

The partition is hidden

------------------------------


hmm .. this is odd .. I got High Sierra working on my HP 840 G3. At clover boot screen I can see the 2 partitions (normal and recovery). But after the post install and inserting the generated serial number in de plist, the recovery partition is gone. Is there anyway to get it back?

Your question is answered in the guide:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...n-high-sierra-update-or-fresh-install.232855/

Thank you.
If I understand correctly, then, in case the name of my flash drive, from which the installation will be done, is "1", and the name of the volume on which the operating system will be installed is "macOS High Sierra", then the code in the terminal after the installation of the installer from a flash drive, will look like this (when SIP is switched off):

Spoiler: Code

/Volumes/«1/Install macOS High Sierra.app"/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --volume macOS High Sierra --converttoapfs NO --agreetolicense

Correctly?

Have you fixed it? I got my HP 840 G3 working now with High Sierra

NO,I follow the tips RehabMan were replaced OsxAptioFixDrv and AptioMemoryFix, still not solve. The screen brightness still can not be saved, the brightness is restored to the maximum after each reboot, after the black screen can not wake up.

 

[y010204025]

OsxAptioFix3Drv-64.efi not recommended.
Use either OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi+EmuVariableUefi-64.efi (don't forget RC scripts).
-OR-
Use only AptioMemoryFix.efi

Hi, RehabMan, I accepted your proposal, respectively, to replace the OsxAptioFixDrv and AptioMemoryFix, still can not be solved, the screen brightness still can not be saved, the brightness restored to maximum after each reboot, after the black screen can not wake up. I also tried to inject edid information, no improvement. Thank you very much for your advice.

The Bluetooth module was removed from this laptop prior to my purchase.

That would explain why no BT. Your laptop does not have the (USB) connections for the BT that is part of the WiFi card as the BT is separate.

As per Clover documentation for hidden boot targets... Press F3 in Clover.

The path within Terminal (from the installer) is always the same, and is documented in the guide.
