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

[LionXD]

Did you forget to update the kexts (download.sh, install_downloads.sh)?
If so, it is likely you have an old Lilu.kext. 10.13.2 requires Lilu 1.2.2 (or later).

Yes, I forget to update the kexts
Can I download necessary files manually? If it's possible, I can manage them from terminal

You can download them manually, put on a USB, boot the macOS installer, and copy them to /Library/Extensions with Terminal from within the installer.

I think there was a discussion of this exact same procedure in my Lenovo u430 guide.... someone that made exactly the same mistake.

Okay, thank you. I'll try to find this post

You can also do the same fix by booting your recovery partition (assuming your setup is valid for the recovery partition).

You rock! I solved my issues from the recovery using your walkthrough (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-using-clover-uefi.232745/page-6#post-1646819)

Read post #1 for instructions on transitioning from PBI (to hotpatch).
Then attempt desired updates.

Hi RehabMan

Did all that from your post #1
To transition from PBI-CE based install
Post Installation
Terminal

git

mkdir ~/Projects
cd ~/Projects
git clone https://github.com/RehabMan/HP-ProBook-4x30s-DSDT-Patch probook.git

cd ~/Projects/probook.git
git checkout beta

cd ~/Projects/probook.git
./download.sh
./install_downloads.sh

Still, after Sierra install from the Clover bootloader it goes to the apple logo and progress bar screen and then to the light grey screen and stays there

Here's the clustered reports again from that tool attached

Your config.plist is not from this guide. Read post #1, "Final config.plist".
Your ACPI/patched content is wrong. Read post #1, regarding install_acpi.sh.
Your Clover/kexts/Other has no kexts (no idea why you expect to boot the macOS installer without FakeSMC.kext).
Read main laptop Clover install guide (linked by post #1).

Thanks a lot RehabMan

It seems it's too many things spread out to fix. Hope I did it right but rather not. Now at the apple logo and progress bar screen the process is stuck at the beginning. It barely looks like 2-3 % on the progress bar and stays there.

No kexts in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other.
Why do you expect to boot the installer (assuming that's what you're doing) without FakeSMC.kext? (and other "essential" kexts).

1. Matter eliminating unused connectors in the framebuffer. Your ioreg shows no external monitor connected, so no idea which are used, which are not used.

2. Updates in 10.13 always use the installer. Must boot the installer from Clover after reboot.

1. No video output on ZBook 15 G2 (DP & Thunderbolt wired to Nvidia quadro)
2. Fixed thanks (Works best with updated FakeSMC in kexts/Others)
