I followed the guide and got the extra current working. the android phone still gets 96mA only.. not sure what I could do about that, but again... it's not the end of the world..

Patching the DSDT correctly will fix this problem. Steps 4 and 5 will be all you need to complete.

I have verified that I inserted the correct patches. Attached you will find my EFI folder. Thanks.

The DSDT shows no errors after compiling but I can't find the Darwin entry that should replace "Windows 2009"

Remove the USB port limit patch or at least disable it. Not needed. You are putting kexts in the other folder that shouldn't be there. The only kexts you need in "other" are FakeSMC and your Intel ethernet kext. Delete everything else from that folder. WhateverGreen is not necessary either. Lilu and AppleALC should be installed to /L/E as the guide instructs. Use Kextbeast to do this. You're getting closer, so don't give up yet.

Where do I disable/delete the patch?

Also, sometimes it will hang on boot. Attached is an image.

Would it be possible for you to just send me your EFI folder without the Serial Number and I could try that to see what happens? Thanks for all your help on this...

That doesn't work well because my patched DSDT is likely different in a number of ways that could prevent it from working on your HP. What I would suggest is a clean install from your Unibeast drive. Wipe the current install of HS by formatting the drive in Disk Utility and then implement the guide in post #1 precisely as it is presented and it will work. I know that for certain from the extensive testing that I did to write the guide for my 7010 USFF with an i5-3475S CPU and HD4000 graphics.

Okay. I will try that this afternoon. Thank you.
