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

Thanks for the answer. Here you are.

Regards.

OK, is this clover folder from your hard drive or flash drive? Looks like you need to reinstall clover, your drivers/uefi folder is missing some crucial drivers, such as SMCHelper.efi, FSInject.EFI etc. Also, try using aptiomemoryfix.efi for your memory driver, or OSXAptioMemoryFixDRV3.

Is this the folder you are trying to boot from?

Yes it is and it works, everything works. The problem is those 50 seconds

Actually it is a Crucial SSD. The USB clover folder of the USB does not behave this way: it is much faster and doesn't stop. The differences between USB clover folder and SSD clover are in "Clover->ACPI->Patched" after using Rehabman scripts and the adhoc config.plist for this Probook model. (but with the USB there is no sound and wrong USB ports as expected)

Yeap I know, maybe is this last Clover version (5098) because in previous 2.5K Clover versions that folder does exit although they missed the ACPI folder structure. Lot of noise in Clover lately.
Nevertheless I will give it another try and if it does not create the folder I will create it and copy those EFIs in it.

Also, try using aptiomemoryfix.efi for your memory driver, or OSXAptioMemoryFixDRV3
When using AptioMemoryFix or OSXAptioMemoryFixDRV3 I receive Error Loading Kernel Cache (0x9)

When I got home I will inform you of the results of the tests.

Thanks.

OK, try installing clover from scratch on that drive. Then copy the patched SSDT to the patched folder. also copy the generated config.plist. Don't forget to place crucial kexts in Clover/Kext/Other. Also, be sure that you leave the EFI drivers selected by default. Add HFS+.efi if needed, and HPFanReset.efi if your model requires it (as per the guide).


If your USb drive boots fine and doesn't stop as you say, the issue could be the clover folder on the drive. If the fresh installation of clover doesn't work out, you can also try copying the patched SSDT files to the USB along with the generated config.plist, se if it still boots fine without pausing? This way we can try and determine where the issue comes from. But when performing these types of troubleshootings, we must change one thing at a time, so we can pinpoint the exact cause of the issue and thereby be able to solve it

Let us know what you find

Several tests and everything remains the same.
So maybe is the next line to [AppleKeyStore...] that is causing the delay.

if so, any clue about what to do?

The brightness control also doesnt work properly last three points dont increase brightness at all sometimes. I have attached the debug files at the time my laptop is not going to sleep.

Hello,

I have followed the guide to install macOS Catalina on my HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 which is on the supported list of laptop but I have a couple issues (everything else works perfectly) :

- The battery status cannot be displayed even if I try and the battery state is at 0% (battery works in Windows)
- When I unplug the power while in MacOS, MacOS crash after a couple second then restart and crash while booting.
- My touchpad isn't detected in the Trackpad of System Preference.

Sound wasn't working but I was able to make it work by changing the layout-id to 84.

Note that I am currently running internet over a USB to Ethernet adapter while I wait for my compatible Wifi card to be shipped.

Anyone is able to help me with my setup ?

I've attached the correct generated debug files.

Will there be a Catalina guide similar to this one?

Probably not, unless there is anyone willing to make a guide for these notebooks using updated kexts and scripts that will take into account the change that Catalina made that sets the system partition to Read-Only at bootup and other changes that I'm probably not mentioning.

I don’t know the changes in Catalina. Is it even possible to run a probook on Catalina fairly flawlessly? Has anyone done this already?

Mine is working flawlessly basically now....
