@alarmeddude84 what are your hardware specs? You can fill these out on your accounts page as you are asked to do when you register
@Sprewy I assume you have installed clover to your install and aren’t booting from the usb every time?
to install the kexts go to EFI\Clover\Kexts\Other and copy them to the desktop. Download Kext Beast, run it and select \Library\Extensions. That will install all kexts on the desktop to said directory.
After that finishes, download and run Kext Utility. Don’t use this to install kexts. It is only to repair permissions after kext beast has installed them.
Delete all kexts from EFI\Clover\Kexts\Other apart from FakeSMC
Reboot and good luck
You can leave the kexts on the desktop till you’ve rebooted just incase
Upload the EFI. You may be missing some kexts/settings.
Are you using the USBInjectAll kext and usb limit patch or have you created a custom USBPorts.kext?
The EFI folders posted here did not work for me at all, for some reason.
I succeeded in getting everything working by starting from scratch and using the step-by-step instructions here:
GitHub - sakoula/HP-EliteDesk-800-G2-6700: HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Tower PC (Skylake) for macOS Catalina & Mojave
HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Tower PC (Skylake) for macOS Catalina & Mojave - sakoula/HP-EliteDesk-800-G2-6700github.com
I did have to do one modification however. These instructions tell you to put the supplied config.plist into EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/config.plist however, this put me into a clover boot loop. what fixed this was simply replacing EFI/CLOVER/config.plist with the supplied config.plist file.
Now everything important works: Video (via DisplayPort), audio and all the USB ports and installing Mojave updates. The EliteDesk G2 has proven to be a nice, powerful, hassle-free Hackintosh option for the price.
One thing I noticed was that I had to go into System Preferences and set the screen never to turn off. If I walked away from the computer and it turned the screen off to save power then the computer would crash and reboot as soon as I tried to "wake it up" by touching the mouse or keyboard. If someone knows a fix for this, I'd be happy to hear it.
Also, shutting down the computer doesn't work properly - it automatically restarts. The way to get around this is to exit Clover once it restarts and safely shut down using the power button from there. It's not "perfect" but it's a very small price to pay.
