give up? nope! basically perfect!

Great!!!

Can you please share how did you obtain the BIOS 1.73. I searched, but it is hard to find.


Also it would be awesome if you shared your EFI and config.plist files!

@gongjiehong I was able to find the HP softpaq archive sp95003. But there is no archive of the installer! If you have access to this, please share! Here is where I found the sp95003 softpaq:

BIOS is 2.40
My friends told me that I need downgrade BIOS to 1.xx but which couldn't be found.

Clover install successed,but lost Turbo Boost.
Is there some way out?

I was able to roll back the system BIOS to 1.83 from the BIOS 2.4. Did you have any luck moving forward?

Hi

Im still searching for BIOS 1.73, impossible to find.
Is there any way you could use the bios upgrader tool from HP and backup your bios ?

The bios backup tool is on this page from hp :
Download

Maybe post your EFI folder as well ?
Many thanks !

Hi Daniel

I just bought an HP Z4G4 recently and read your post about hackintoshing it

I have difficulties to find the bios 1.83, any luck you could send this to me ?

If you have a screen copy of your bios parameters and maybe the EFI folder you're using
i would love to try it !

My Z4 G4 is a xeon W-2140b, 64Gb ram, 2TB SSD, Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000.

I guess Nvidia isnt working on this ?

I would like to install Mojave or catalina,

thanks !

Hi all, I built a hack based on Lenovo P520C which also uses C422 motherboard.

Please find my EFI here, it has some quirks compared to other setup: https://github.com/mumin-dev/hackintosh-lenovo-p520c

If someone is still stuck on the HP Z4 G4, or any other workstation, please post the SysReport folder and OpenCore bootlog. (You may use the EFI folder in this post, adding your board/serial number and UUID in Sample.plist and renaming to config.plist. To my surprise, it directly booted OS X on the Dell Precision 5820 C422 workstation so it must be a reasonable start for other C422 systems.)

I have BIOS version 1.7x do you still need it? I want a usable EFI file
