Dear forum,
My first help request post!
So, have been following RehabMan’s excellent guides on turning my laptop into a hackintosh.
HP Pavilion 15-e050sa : i3-3110M/HM76/Intel HD4000
Having gotten Mojave’s installed with basic support, was starting to refine things. Was starting to proceed with power management, and first step was to disable hibernation.
So follow the terminal commands for
Sudo pmset -a hibernationmode 0
All good.
Then try
Sudo rm /var/ve/sleepimage
And hit a brick wall of SIP. so drop into recovery console and via terminal issue CSRUTIL DISABLE, then back into Mojave to remove sleepimage - all good. Also make a directory at that location and change properties so it’s not writable!
Now back to recovery console to re-enable SIP with CSRUTIL ENABLE and get confirmation reboot needed.
Back to Mojave to check, but CSRUTIL STATUS reports it’s still disabled!
Run round that circle a few times and still can’t get it to enable, so google some and decide to enable via clover configurator in the Rt settings - change CsrActiveConfig to 0x00 from 0x67 (iirc)
Reboot and have boot get slower and slower and slower until it’s a stalled spinning wheel of death.
Power cycle laptop .... nothing. Huh.
Remove battery and power cord and press power button, then plug back in ..... nothing.
Onto HP website to follow help tool for ‘dead laptop’ and try various combinations of the above with “win-key+B+power” to force bios reinstall .... nothing. No fans, no lights, except power connector led, no beeps.
Just dead.
Quick google about and a strip down to logic board in order to pull bios backup battery - instant success.
Reassembled and back into Mojave, booted via installer key conflict.plist copied from installer USB key to get rid of broken one.
But what the hell???
How’d it completely kill my laptop?
Moreover why can’t I get the CSRUTIL ENABLE to restart SIP?
Any help gratefully received on this
Kind regards
Andy
