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

[droofy]

Hello,

I just installed on a Elitebook 840 G3 High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65). Everything works pretty well! Just a few little bug.

The audio volume level does not save after a reboot. When I change the volume with the keys F8 / F9 it decreases / increases the sound but in the menu bar at the top right the speaker stays at 100%.
On the other hand it works well on another output (airplay audio for example).

It's like him. I tested layout 5 and layout 7, it's the same. A solution ?

While updating kexts for my desktop I noticed that shiki, IntelGraphicsFixup, and NVIDIAGraphicsFixup have been merged/moved to WhateverGreen.kext.
Would it be OK to use this new WhateverGreen.kext on my probook in place of IntelGraphicsFixup and shiki? I was going to install shiki.kext for iTunes DRM playback, but wanted to know which of the 2 kext to install. I believe I have a version of shiki around, so I can use that with IntelGraphicsFixup if whatevergreen might cause issues.

Hello everybody. I have one problem that probably tired everyone. After updating 10.10 to 10.11 everything works fine. But the sound doesn't work.

Terminal:
sudo touch / System / Library / Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /
didn't solve the problem

I've been through many times.

Here is the output from the terminal:

yes, your AppleHDA.kext is at fault here

re run the installer to get a clean version of the kext, should sort out your issue

Has anybody been able to get HDCP/DRM protected videos to play on their laptop? I've tried with latest IntelGraphicsFixup.kext, Shiki.kext and of course Lilu.kext and couldn't get iTunes to play any movies from my library (whether I tried streaming it or actually downloaded the movie first), the movie stays at 0 and nothing plays or shows on screen. Neither could I get Safari to play any of my Amazon Prime Video movies (shows an error about not being able to play video at this time).
I also tried removing IntelGraphicsFixup.kext and Shiki.kext, and using the latest WhateverGreen.kext instead (since it now seems to have all 3 graphicsFixups and shiki merged into it), same results.

I updated kextcache after changing kext in both /L/E and Clover/Kexts/Other, booted without caches just to be sure kexts were updated, tried resetting DRM (com.apple.coremedia and com.apple.AppleGVA) set the Intel decoder, and nothing...

Has anyone had any luck with this?
I've found a couple possible solutions, but I don't want to go messing with too many things and break an otherwise working system. Worst case, I've got backups, so it's not much of a risk to try, but I figured I'd ask here first to see if anyone has any suggestions or advice that might be better suited for these laptops and RehabMan's guide.

THX for any info/ideas you guys may have.

you mean that I should re run the installation of mac os x? but can there be a less radical solution? can be easier to download this kext?

doesn't take long, and you are not needing to wipe your hard drive, just install over the top of your existing installation

next time make backups of your kexts

What "lock" are you referring to?

bios password that unable to access bios for allowing boot on external usb

Unfortunately, reinstalling the OS didn't solve my problem. But I paid attention to your advice about the backup. And I have a full backup 10.10. I deleted the broken kext and moved kext from the backup. And it worked! Thanks for the help.

Hello,

I just installed on a Elitebook 840 G3 High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65). Everything works pretty well! Just a few little bug.

The audio volume level does not save after a reboot. When I change the volume with the keys F8 / F9 it decreases / increases the sound but in the menu bar at the top right the speaker stays at 100%.
On the other hand it works well on another output (airplay audio for example).

Same issue here on Elitebook 820 G3 hardware...
is there a solution?
