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

Install WWAN card. Look at ioreg.
Unused ports should be removed.

But I found in SSDT-USB-1020-G1.asl:

                    "HS06", Package() // internal WWAN
                    {
                        "UsbConnector", 255,
                        "port", Buffer() { 0x06, 0, 0, 0 },
                    },

After I disassembly Elitebook Folio 1020 G1, there is not an internal WWAN interface or slot existed. Why you comment HS06 as WWAN? Does ACPI (DSDT/SSDT) or ioreg have some information which led you to this conclusion?

We had the same model, and I had disassembly it, there is no WWAN component...

The quality of data in the repo is only as good as the data provided by the users of this thread.
It is certainly possible some models have it and some don't.

Just curious that if an ACPI node was reserved for WWAN device, does this node has special or specific ACPI code to describe its characteristic?

Not that I know of.

Unused ports was removed. Internal ports (BT & Fingerprint Reader) was enabled.

Did you test the USB-C in both orientations?
Same SSxx port used in both orientations?
(a _UPC type 10 will use two SSxx, one for each orientation, and a _UPC type 9 will use one SSxx as it has a built-in switch).

Thank you for pointing that out...It is type 10.

Hi RehabMan,

Maybe you could help me with this.
From a ProBook 6560b with Mavericks 10.9.5 (installed with Clover Bootloader or PBI Clover edition, can't remember exactly) how can I update to El Capitan, Sierra or High Sierra?

Went to El Capitan download page
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206886
Clicked on "Get OS X El Capitan" text link on the page and it opened App Store. Clicked on "Get" button and "This version of OS X 10.11 cannot be installed on this computer." pops up. I understand as long as your computer is compatible with higher grade OS X it doesn't let you install less than that.

Did the same with Sierra page
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208202
It let me download it but after restarting to continue installation goes into Clover bootloader to an Apple logo and progress bar screen and after the progress bar runs 100 % it goes to a light grey screen and stays there

On High Sierra things are different
I download it directly from App Store but the installer file only has 20 MB and it created a separate 5.2 GB folder on my system partition. After that same things happen as with Sierra

How can I properly update to any of the mentioned OS X versions? Pardon me macOS for now

Thank you
