This solution does not work for the G3 or G3 Mini. Look at this thread where I helped someone to get their G3 Mini working (my user name was tonyx86 at that time). Note that the solution in this thread is for the HP Prodesk G3 Mini. At the very least, it should provide you with hints for your rig. EDIT: I have personally experienced. problems when using Samsung NVMe SSDs in this HackMini. I don't recommend them since I believe there are better options, although I'm sure it's possible to use Samsung. See this. @deeveedee So I crosschecked the config.plist and made the necessary changes and managed to install Catalina on a normal HDD and not an SSD since you mentioned that Samsung SSD's have issues. Also another problem I noticed was the Display going blank, Mouse pointer was visible and moving, Had to remove the DP Port cable and reinsert it to get the Desktop Back on. Any solution to this? Also Any recommended 250GB Budget Nvme that I could Purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloverLeaf Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 @ShanerWarner What type of cable you have ? DP->DP or DP->HDMI ? If using DP to HDMI adapter make sure it is active. As for nvme ssd you can go for the budget friendly Kingston NV1 - 25$ for 250GB. 500GB option is better just for 15$ more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveedee Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) It would be great if we posted G3 questions in the G3 thread. Also, I've been kind of a broken record about this and apologize to everyone for repeating myself. Please post sanitized EFIs when asking questions. My mind reading skills are not what they used to be. Edited October 6, 2022 by deeveedee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefano Pugliese Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) @deeveedee In the guide of this thread I read that the audio on hdmi/dp is disabled by No-hda-gfx What cuold happens if I remove No-hda-gfx to enable audio on DP ?

deeveedee Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) @Stefano Pugliese Yes - that is how you enable audio over DP. Remove No-hda-gfx. Removal of No-hda-gfx is mentioned in the instructions and in the Known Issues. Be sure to thoroughly read the Instructions and read the Known Issues where you will find information about no-hda-gfx and other very useful information. Note: As you'll read in Known Issues, I needed to add No-hda-gfx device property so that my hack would wake from sleep without a Kernel panic. This is because I use an adapter (DP->DVI) and I believe it was also true for those using DP->HDMI. It may no longer be necessary, as there may have been fixes in WhateverGreen.kext, AppleALC.kext or macOS. Those who experience a Kernel panic when waking from sleep may need to keep the No-hda-gfx DeviceProperty.

deeveedee Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 For those who are feeling a little adventurous, try this and let us know if you notice any difference in the behavior of your HackMini. The EFI that I attached to Post #1 already has device DMAC injected in ACPI. It will be nice to know if this change (enabling VT-d in BIOS and disabling DisableIoMapper quirk) works on the EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini and on the EliteDesk 800 G5 Mini. It will also be nice to know if changing these VT-d settings makes any difference for us. Apparently, the differences that we should notice would be specific to networking, but I'm not sure if that includes Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

deeveedee Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 @Stefano Pugliese Thank you for pointing out the ambiguity in the instructions. I have added the following to the instructions for those who are using Bluetooth. The BIOS configuration instructions attached to Post #1 indicate that M.2 USB / Bluetooth is disabled. Enable M.2 / USB Bluetooth in BIOS if you are using Bluetooth. Please debug Intel - specific Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues in another thread and please post your EFI if you have questions that are specific to your Open Core configuration. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler If there are errors in your config.plist now, then they were introduced after you downloaded and edited the file. I don't use OCAT (I use Xcode) for exactly this reason. There is an OCAT thread somewhere in this forum, so if you believe there are bugs in OCAT, I would recommend posting your findings in that thread.

Anto65 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Just checked the plist is ok It must be said that OCAT must be in line with the plist version. It is normal that if I use OCAT 0.7.8 and check a plist 0.8.5 I will encounter errors😉 Stefano !!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefano Pugliese Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 @deeveedee What about this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveedee Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 @Stefano Pugliese I'm not an OCAT user, but it looks like you may be enabling multiple USBPorts.kexts. I have included multiple USBPorts.kext (USBPorts.kext, USBPorts-noHS14.kext and USBPorts16.kext) so that you have examples to work with. Only USBPorts.kext should be enabled in your config.plist, but the other two kexts can still be in your Kexts folder. You'll notice that in the config.plist that I provide in my EFI attached to Post #1, only USBPorts.kext is enabled in the config.plist. If your config.plist has added and enabled the other two USBPorts.kexts, that is a mistake. You'll learn more about this in the instructions that I posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
