I also used other people's work, thanks to @Epimenide I hitting two issues, one of which isn't OpenCore. I am using a USB wifi dongle for the moment and the drivers will not full install. They report an error on installation, the dongle works fine but when I turn the laptop on / wake it from sleep I need to install the driver again. This is likely to be an issue with Big Sur. The other is that sleep is sometimes returning with a dead screen, or a lit screen but no display. Hard reset is then needed to get it back on. Turning the screen off but not putting the laptop to sleep seems to be working fine so I'm not sure what the issue is. Did you work on any more optimisations to the OpenCore EFI?

I've managed to get my internal DW1640 (I think) wifi card reconnected to the internal antenna cables (I got heavy handed one day and damaged the connectors to the point where they would not stay on). That's resolved the wifi dongle issue. For now at least. Is bluetooth working well for you? It is registering as being there for me but it doesn't do anything (cannot pick up my Apple Watch etc.). I had the same problem using Clover before on Catalina. If I can get that fixed then that will be another win. I've seen that there are pre-releases available for OC 0.6.1. Are you noticing anything different? Finally I have ordered a docking station for my laptop. I am hoping that that the two display ports that it comes with work as I want to connect to two external displays when I am at my desk at home. Fingers crossed for that.

acetuk Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Ok, I might have found the issue with the dark screen from sleep and what is stopping my USB wifi dongle from working when returning from sleep. I read something on another site and remembered that I needed to adjust the sleep and hibernate settings using Hackintool when I was using Clover and Catalina. I checked my Big Sur installation using Hackintool and it reported an issue with those settings in the power tab. Set both the hybernatemode and proximitymode to 0 as suggested by Hackintool and so far sleep to wake is working perfectly and my wifi usb dongle is not being 'forgotten' about.

sharad9401 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Did you guys manage to fix sleep? I'm on Big Sur Beta 2 and when I put it to sleep then wake it up, it starts lagging and eventually freezes and the cursor doesn't move. It happens using both Clover and Opencore. I'm using SSD and it happens with both TRIM enabled and disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Lo Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I think my HP 840 G2 is cursed. I tried installing Catalina with OC 5.9, 6.0, and 6.1. All goes well until the final reboot, when I select the newly installed drive from OC Picker, it'll boot to the recovery partition. I thought maybe the 2 partition got reversed? So I booted the recovery partition but it also boots to the the recovery partition. I had also tried using @Axon_80 and @Epimenide's EFI, both results are the same as mine. So I decided to try their files on Big Sur Beta4, both rebooted after being selected without any error whatsoever. Really strange. So going back to my Catalina install, I was able to create a Clover boot disk and complete the installation where OC had left off. Everything works great with Clover so far. Sleep / wake with closing and opening lid, all USB ports, SD Card reader, webcam, even multitouch gestures. Spoiler I hope someone here can help me with OpenCore for 840 G2. What version of BIOS are you using and what configuration you have set? @Axon_80, can you post your OC 6.1 version? On the other hand, I have an HP 840 G3 working perfectly fine with Big Sure on OC 6.0 also with multitouch gestures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Lo Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Try this, replace the Config file, I add the kexts in order to the Config. Add the 3 kext to the kexts folder, this will replace your VoodooPS2Controller. You could rename the VoodooPS2 if you like before replacing. Keep an external USB mouse handy incase this doesn't work. 840G2_touchpad.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharad9401 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Hello guys I'm on Big Sur beta 4 and everything but sleep is working. It goes to sleep but most times it lags and eventually freezes after wake and sometimes black screen after wake. Happens both in Clover and OC. Also, Big Sur handles kexts differently so you need to use this https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-Big-Sur-Adapter to enable dongle support across reboots. I have attached EFI for 840 G2 with only HD5500 (gestures working) Please help me fix sleep. EDIT: I FIXED SLEEP BELOW EFI IS FULLY WORKING OC 0.6.1 ENJOY EVERYTHING WORKING INCLUDING GESTURES AND SD ALL UPDATED. DOWNLOAD Intel WiFi Drivers here(Not all supported): https://github.com/1hbb/OpenIntelWireless-Factory/releases This EFI is fully cleaned except maybe some extra kexts which u can change according to ur hardware. Tested on Big Sur Beta 4. All working. EFI.zip Edited August 18, 2020 by sharad9401 FIXED SLEEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am attaching EIF OC 6.1 Multitouch gestures EFI_6.1_Multitouch gestures.zip Are you installing beta 4? Maybe try to install Bigsur beta 1 and upgrade to beta 4? Once again thanks for your EFI. I have put Catalina back on my main SSD for the moment and am using your update 0.6.1 EFI with my serial number etc. to boot. Trackpad gestures appear to be working very nicely (it's great to finally be able to zoom in and out on web pages!). I have Big Sur PB4 on the second drive in my HP840G2 and need to give that a try as well. I just need to get bluetooth working - I still can't seem to get any more than it to be recognised. It never finds my iPhone to pair to or anything else I have tried on both Catalina and Big Sur. My final challenge is to get the two display ports to work on the slim doc that I have bought. They both generate a display to dual monitors using DP-to-VGA cables but my HP840 fails to boot on the graphics settings change on boot up. I am hoping that is just because I was using those types of cables so I have bought two DP-to-DP cables which should be with me tomorrow. Fingers crossed that works as it is the final hardware tweak I want to resolve. Finally thanks for the list of bios settings you are using. I need to compare that to mine as well as the bios version itself. I'm a little cautious to adjust anything as it all appears to be running well other than bluetooth.

Jake Lo Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 @Axon_80 I found my issue. My system doesn't seem to like it when NvmExpressDxe.efi is added. Commenting it out or removing it from Config file resolved it. Strange. Do you have an NVMe drive in your system? Mine is just a Sata SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Lo Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Then that's really odd. I have the same BIOS version and virtually the same BIOS settings. I have now change to these settings since it made no difference: Fast Boot - off Boot Mode - UEFI without CSM Video memory size 64MB Sata speed 6.0Gbs Deep Sleep - on Wake on lan - Disable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axon_80 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) @Jake Lo I have such Bios settings since the clover. I do not know if they are relevant in OC. Certainly, setting the Video memory size to more than 64MB is important and causes problems when wakeup from sleep.
