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.

[Joaotcs]

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 ;)

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.

[Rixxx-git]

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.

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.

The New Bios 01.11.01 Rev.A works totally fine with me if someone wants to update to it.

[kecinzer]

The New Bios 01.11.01 Rev.A works totally fine with me if someone wants to update to it.

Thanks for the info. Any news? Fan speed or temperature are same as in previus version?

[Ermac-X]

So far it is the same, fan speed is dead like the previous one very quiet.
I never used the device intensively to feel any difference now, yet I guess no change green light to update.

[Ermac-X]

Anyone upgraded to the last Catalina update? I'm afraid it might break something in the system

Thanks for your feedback I will download it now ..
BTW did u receive your Wi-Fi card or like me not yet ?

[Ermac-X]

Also, Clover works fine with the Latest Catalina update .. Just updated and all fine :)

Not yet, but it is already in my country, so tomorrow I think.

@Ermac-X Wifi/BT module arrived. Works like a charm!

@Ermac-X Wifi/BT module arrived. Works like a charm!

Great ! Looks perfect, I'm still waiting mine ordered the same day u did or the day after still not arrived here.

[artenidas]

Hello! I'm using HP G5 840. Everything works well, better than my previous MacBook Pro 2015 I'm waiting for the wifi card from the picture above. I have only 2 problems maybe someone has found a solution.

1. After sleep the video doesn't work, performance drops, everything hangs out.
2. When I connect the SSD under the usb-c, the system can't see it, it can't see it until I put it on a disconnected laptop and start the system.

I can't see the difference between opencore and clover, they both work the same way.

I'm using latest Catalina 10.15.5.
1 more question. What SMBios are u using guys?

Cheers guys!

[Ermac-X]

@artenidas regarding performance drop after sleep.. you need to update the bios .. it seems that you are still on old version 10.8 this is bios bug
But be aware if you upgraded the need to put a motherboard patch otherwise system wouldn't boot at least on clover, OpenCore is already patched by Kecinzer ...
You better read old posts and most of your problems would be solved
Cheers

[artenidas]

Im using latest bios 1.11.01.

[Joaotcs]

Reset your bios settings... Turn off only security options. Done

[artenidas]

Ohh that's working actually. But need 1 minutes+ to wake up

[artenidas]

Problem solved with USB-C. I just change bios settings on thunderbolt from Legacy Mode to Native and usb-c working with hotplug. Cheers guys! :)

[kecinzer]

Yes, that solved it, but this settings broke sleep.
First sleep and wake works fine, but you never get to next sleep mode. You have to turn off laptop and then this error occures:

Sleep transition timed out after 180 seconds while entering darkwake on way to sleep...

I use only TB3 -> dual display port adapter, that actually works in legacy mode with some kind of hotplug - it takes little longer to detect external displays after I connect it, but it works. It seems like there is some cron for detect TB3 devices in legacy mode. I don't use any other type of devices, as I have only 1 port occupied with this adapter.

Did you try wait little bit after you connected device?

I would like to try external GPU if it works, but I don't know anyone with it.

[artenidas]

Yes, that solved it, but this settings broke sleep.

for me working all. Sleep/Video after sleep/no losing performance/ USB-c working without any problems but i have G5 840 maybe there is a catch, etc i using ur latest OpenCore in Catalina

Dir you try sleep multiple times? I mean sleep then wake, work some time and another sleep and wake and so on.

[artenidas]

Yes, 10 times in a row and several times with falling asleep with work and falling asleep. All working perfectly.
I just have to wait 10-15 seconds until he falls asleep and about 20-30 seconds for him to wake up.

[artenidas]

Here is my workstation. :D

Great for you 👍. Can you please take photos of your BIOS setup? When I have thunderbolt in native mode, I need to use special SSDT to get sleep working. I added this patch recently, so I suppose you don’t use it.
So it has to be some BIOS settings.

[artenidas]

Can you please take photos of your BIOS setup?

[artenidas]

I buy today BCM94360NG better than DW1560. He should be with me on Monday like it works hotplug without any problems and next week applies liquid metal on CPU.

[artenidas]

I got mine bcm94360ng but have problem. BT working, Wifi doesn't work as it should, have 100% range on my wifi network but the sides recharge in 10 minutes ... What is wrong?

Hey!!

I have the very same problem but i can't figure how to solve it. Most people say that is a lack of imei (my case), but is impossible to inject it. Tried with ssdt, heci to imei rename, change address from 16 to 0 without luck.

How do you solved it?

As i can saw here, i have only to reset bios to defaults, and then redo the settings i need.

Now i have a truly functional hackbook, buuuut:

1. Mute button works only visually (the icon in screen shows a mute action, but the sound is still there).
2. Battery warnings at 80%, 90%, now at 53%!
   
3. Cholonam sdcard kext works great but not after wake from sleep.
4. Battery indicator es misreading real battery life: the 100% persist on almost 15mins of use, just after that time it becomes 99%. And at 17%, suddenly drops to 1% and then dead!

Are you familiar with this

[kinoute]

To all: for your information, you can now use Intel WIFI & Bluetooth without changing the internal card. I updated my repo in consequence.

[kecinzer]

@kinoute Thanks for information about Intel Wifi. I already watching this project - https://github.com/usr-sse2/Black80211-Catalina it seems promising, but I will definitely not calling it OOTB. OOTB solution for me is that, where I don't need to use any kexts. And also you can't connect to enterprise WPA wifi that I use in work, so no go for me.
But it seems to be solved in near future.

Anyone tried to go for Bigsur ?
