A thanks

[Joaotcs]

Hi Sir! I have created this githhub account Just to thanks you! I have used many times github, but never registered. I was losing my mind installing Mac on my elitebook 840 g5. Now, i have an almost 100% working hsckintosh CATALINA by the way.

The only problems: middle mouse joystick is not working, and I have no camera nor the smart card reader (for ID cards). Dont know if it is possible to make it work or not..

Other than that, its super! Once again, thanks you

[kinoute]

Hey,

Thanks for your kind words! This is what the open source and the Hackintosh community is about: sharing.

The middle mouse joystick indeed doesn't work, I forgot to mention since the trackpad works perfectly. I thought nobody will use it anyway.

I'm pretty sure the camera can be fixed quite easily but honestly for now, I don't have the time for it. If it's already recognized in someway, we must be close. If by any chance you find a way to make it work, feel free to post it!

I will have a look at the smart card reader but I have little hope that there is a chance it can work.

[Joaotcs]

I have also realized that when I use any keyboard key, the touchpad is unresponsive for 1 second. Is it fixable? Regards

[Joaotcs]

Another thing, have you tested this with opencore instead of clover? I am thinking to migrate, don't know if the config.plist is compatible or not.

[kinoute]

I haven't tested OpenCore on any of my hackintoshes. It's too new and a different piece of software. Since I use this laptop for serious stuff at work, I prefer to stay on a stable install for now as everything I need works.

[Joaotcs]

I see. One last problem I have seen. I have now problems. Sometimes, when the screen gets black it stays black. (I think it's problem called "wake up black screen"). I have done some modification (fixed hibernation with hackintool, as I was advised to do so - I think it changed the hibernatemode to 0 and it was 3. and it changed proximitywake to 0 also).

Do you have any workaround?

Regards

[kinoute]

I don't know, I set up hibernate mode and proximity wake to 0 as well. Here is my Power Management according to Hackintool:

If you don't have the same values, you can click on the bottom middle icon (or change settings manually with pmset -g in the terminal).

We don't have exactly the same model, that might be a problem.

[kinoute]

Also check your BIOS Settings and check mine in my repo, the settings related to Power Managements.

[Joaotcs]

Hello again! I have discovered a problem I am trying to fix it.. HDMI doesn't send audio signal.. May have to do some modification to SSDT files?

Happy New Year btw

[kinoute]

Yes, you would have to modify the SSDT files to have audio through HDMI.

[kinoute]

Or maybe patch the UHD 620 with frame buffer.

[Joaotcs]

I fixed the issue with frame buffer! Thanks for the tip (Also, I used virtualSMC instead of FakeSMC which is more compatible with VoodooPS2). But now, I have discovered (but was present before) a problem after deep sleep. After deep sleep, the laptop loses performance, Chrome stays blank, videos (on VLC, quicktime etc don't work - they hang on loading..). But safari works. Do you happen to know why? I have read that sometimes it's the unsync CPU but we already have VoodooTSCSync, and also I have read the HECI to IMEI patch, but we already have.

Thanks!

EDIT: I have also tested to update VoodooI2C to 2.3, but it gets bugged (touchpad doesnt work properly after, keeps stopping when I move it. You probably have a modified version of VoodooI2C right?)

[kinoute]

I have this problem with the videos not working after sleep. According to the console log, this is due to the thunderbolt drivers I use for my dock station (the two repos I'm talking about on the bottom of the README file).

If you don't use any thunderbolt stuff, you can remove both of them.

The bad performances are due to the console being flooded by this bug.

I have removed, still the same.. I guess I have to unable sleep. Thanks anyway

[kinoute]

check your console after sleep and see if there is almost the same message flooding the console

[Joaotcs]

Keeping you posted on this, the problem persists after deleting those kexts. I have seen a post of Rehabman, he said once that it was due to USB ports on excess and not matching. That we should have SSxx ports in the same number as HSxx ports and that the total of ports should be 15 or less. I know hackintool can do that easily but I am not aware how..

If you have any idea, check on that ;) Regards

software dev here , you're a G . Was going to buy a mac , but if this works , then i'll wait on it !

Hi buddy, can you please explain how exactly you fixed the issue with frame buffer?

And how did you install catalina? Did you just do a regular update via the appstore in mojave? :)

Thanks for your help and thanks to kinoute for your great EFI folder!

[Rixxx-git]

btw: Any fix for the issue that the trackpad is not working for a second after using the keyboard?

[kinoute]

I'm curious: in what situation do you have to use the touchpad + the keyboard at the same time?

[Joaotcs]

Games for eg.

[Joaotcs]

I think its a protection against misclick of touchpad whilr you are typing. Before we could disable that. Now i cant fins that option. About catalina, Just do the upgrade normally.

About framebuffer, you can use clover, please look how on Internet guides.

[Joaotcs]

I will upload later my efi without smbios

[Joaotcs]

Still, no fix for the vídeo bug after sleep.

[kinoute]

There is something to edit regarding misclick. You will have to dig into the kext thread on tonymac. I remembered seeing a link to a GitHub issue comment where you could change the value and it apparently worked for a lot of people. It was on the git repo of the kext.

Can I use your EFI folder and it will fix the framebuffer issue? Sorry, I am new to Hackintosh and I am thankful for instructions like this one here that includes working files.

[Rixxx-git]

Do you guys think it's possible to get the two buttons above the trackpad to work as left and right mouse click? It worked before I exchanged my EFI for yours, but I don't know why?

[kinoute]

I don't know. I'm using the "little tap" feature on the trackpad for the left click and it's so nice, I could not live with it. No need to hard click, just touching like a real Mac.

[kinoute]

Regarding the trackpad, there is this Kext made by the team behind Whatevergreen, Lilu etc:

https://github.com/acidanthera/VoodooInput

It might worth a try.

Right click works great with touch, that is not the problem. But copying text can be hard. Would be nice to use the left button and the trackpad to copy text. Clicking the trackpad and copying or "three finger moving" doesnt work that good.

[kinoute]

I agree. Selecting text is hard, even with the 3 fingers feature.

Do you know how to use this?

[kecinzer]

Many thanks for this repo. It's much easier for me to jump back to Hackintosh anytime. BTW. I think that front camara works just fine for me in my last setup. I need to check my latest backup of EFI. On my EliteBook is currently corporate image of Windows 10 :).

[kinoute]

@kecinzer Our hero is here! Thanks again. About the camera, it's weird.. Here I can see it being recognized but Photo Booth for example gives me a black screen (and no, I haven't put a sticker on my webcam :smile:)

The system reports it as:

HP HD Camera :

  Identifiant du modèle :   UVC Camera VendorID_1266 ProductID_46567
  Identifiant unique :  0x1480000004f2b5e7

When trying to fix it, I remembered reading that UVC cameras were hard to hackintosh

[kecinzer]

@kinoute Thank you for mentioned me, but the most credits is to @RehabMan :). It's possible that you have different front camera? I mentioned something about 120Hz display that you have that I definitely don't have.

[kinoute]

@kecinzer Yes, I have a 120 hz display which is rather funny for a laptop to work... There are so many different 850 G5 models according to the HP website, I might have a different screen/webcam combinaison indeed. For instance, some laptops even have a AMD RadeonTM RX 540 dedicated GPU.

Can you please upload your EFI folder so that I can fix the framebuffer (no sound on hdmi) problem? 👍

[Joaotcs]

Arquivo.zip Paste this to EFI/CLOVER. Change SMBIOS with clover configurator.

awesome, thanks! what should I change about the SMBIOS?

[Joaotcs]

awesome, thanks! what should I change about the SMBIOS?

Dude... Have you bough an hackintosh or installed yourself? I find it hard to believe you can't make a simple search on google.. Clover Configurator, Mount EFI, open config.plist and on SMBIOS, select the macbook 14.1 or 14.2. And click multiple times on serial number etc... Just see on youtube how it's done. But for this computer, you have to use macbook 14.1 or 14.2

[Rixxx-git]

Done. But are you sure about 14.1 / 14.2? I chose Macbook Pro 15,2 because my HP 830 G5 has a i5 of the 8th generation.

[Joaotcs]

Thats okay also. Hdmi sound works?

[Rixxx-git]

yes, all good. thanks again! do you use the build in trackpad? I have a magic trackpad and a bluetooth usb stick. works better for me. the built in one is not as smooth.

[Rixxx-git]

Since I changed the SMBIOS I get logged out of my Apple ID a lot of times. Does anybody know why? My serial number is ok. I just checked it again (I get the red error message).

[kinoute]

That's normal. You MUST log out from iCloud and stuff before changing your SMBIOS.

[Rixxx-git]

Yes, I logged out before I changed the SMBIOS like it says in the tonymac description. But afterwards I can login again, right? I get logged out on almost every startup since I changed the SMBIOS. That is what I mean.

[Joaotcs]

For what is worth, i think the bug after wake is because of the ssd. If you buy a better compatible nvme ssd it will solve that problem.

[kecinzer]

Hello, I just started play with hackintosh again. After clean install of macOS 10.15.3, I used my last EFI, but I can't get touchpad to work. Even if I write "kextstat | grep Voodoo" I can't see loaded VoodooI2CHID. Does touchpad works normally for you?

[kinoute]

My touchpad works but I'm running Mojave 10.14.6.

[kecinzer]

It starts to working after few reboots :). I already tried latest version of VoodooI2C and it still laggy, so I went back to 2.2.4 patched by @Erictoby Now I'm experimenting with OpenCore.

[kinoute]

I use 2.2 right now. Do you experiment difficulties to select big amount of text with the touchpad on 2.2.4? Like the cursor stopping while selecting the text.
