Hello
on this laptop :HP ProBook450 G3 Skylake, SSD 500 Go, 1920x1080, Mojave
As I had endless boot with Mojave 10.14.4, I re installed Mojave ( 10.14.6) boot is now normal (15s)
but sound disappears.
So I decided to do again the whole process built by Rehabman.
But sound is not yet back.
I just observe that Apple ALC and Lilu are in both /Lib/extensions and Clover/kexts/Others
with same time stamp ?
Attached requested zip files.

Any help welcome !

Who here has a multi-boot setup? I'm planning on doing one myself and am curious to know how easy or difficult that is to set up and maintain. I see the guides hosted in the 'Installation' forum's 'Other Operating Systems' sub-forum's 'Mutli Booting' sub-forum, but how has this worked out for any of you?

(Edit: I'd be using multiple partitions on a single drive.)

With G1 and G2 you het to choose the EFI file to boot, so super easy
g3 and later automatically boot windows so its a bit trickier and has to be redone every windows update, super annoyn

Anyone get a fresh install on an hp laptop with catalina working with imessages and facetime? i have tried the iDiots guide and still struggling with these two.

I'm stuck at authentication. And get the :
"You cannot sign into imessage at this time.
To use iMessage with this Mac, contact Apple Support and provide the code below. "

The only person who had this error recently that i could find, eventually call Apple and they fix it for them. Any advice how to fix, or ideas on debugging without calling Apple?

Looks like this post I already saw covers that, so I should be all set with that and other information from that sub-forum. Thanks, all!

I apply my EFI if anyone wants to try OpenCore on Probook 650 G1. Just do GenSMBIOS application and replace the EFI clover folder. After restart we have configured Opencore

Here's a working 2570p Catalina EFI that I found on the interweb. Just create a bootable Catalina USB using the createinstallmedia approach, install clover on it, mount its EFI, delete the EFI folder and put the EFI that I attached.

Use case: You just want to install Catalina 10.15 on 2570p as fast and as painless as possible. If you tried installing Catalina on your 2570p using RH's guide and kept on getting stuck on boot or whatever, use this EFI. After a successful boot to the desktop, you then have the option to learn more by following RH's post-install procedure. But for me, this EFI is enough as it works as expected (SpeedStep works). If you decide to just use the EFI as is, just generate a new serial number using Clover Configurator disable hibernate mode using RehabMan's terminal commands mentioned on this guide.

I have an HP 2570p I was thinking about trying your EFI folder on, but it says I need a password to unpack it.

I need some help troubleshooting to see if i bought a defective card or is not compatible with my laptop?

I have a HP Elitebook 850 g1. I replaced the intel Wifi+BT half size mini with a BCM943225HMB AW-NB290. Wifi works fine in Windows, Ubuntu, and Catalina. None of the OSes can see the BT device. Windows doesn't see the device at all, Ubuntu (lsusb) doesn't show it, Catalina doesn't show it under USB in ioreg.

Did I some how got a version of this card without BT?
