AlphaGoob Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Information: Easy step by step setup with Windows No knowledge of DSDT/SSDT patching needed // What you need: A PC with Windows installed. USB 2.0 drive with a minimal storage of 16 GB The pre-installation and post-installation files from my GitHub Internet connection to your laptop with a ethernet cable // Links: GitHub https://github.com/AlphaGoob/HP-8570p-Hackintosh-Master Troubleshooting: https://github.com/AlphaGoob/HP-8570p-Hackintosh-Archive // My specifications: HP EliteBook 8570p Intel core i5 3210M (Ivy Bridge) Intel HD 4000 Intel 7 series chipset Intel 82579L ethernet Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN (633ANHMW) Audio IDT Codec (Layout-ID 2) SSD (multiple brands possible) // Tested on: macOS 10.13 High Sierra macOS 10.14 Mojave macOS 10.15 Catalina // What works: Keyboard and trackpad Audio (speakers and microphone) USB ports Camera Battery status Graphics Ethernet iCloud (App store, iMessage and FaceTime) and Airplay // Not Working: WiFi Bluetooth Before starting// Notes: I’m not a experienced hackintosh-er. I assume the SSDT’s, DSDT’s and config files can be done better, but it all works very stable. If you have any suggestion or adjustments please contact me. I would be glad to change and test it out. // Tips: Use a USB mouse at the catalina installer. Your trackpad will be very slow. It is solved in the post-installation. Boot the installation of macOS in Verbose mode. The loading bar will sometimes not move but in verbose you will see all progress. Do this by pressing the space bar in Clover on you macOS Installation and select Verbose. If you don’t have another drive to boot (for example Windows) you can setup Clover Configurator so it doesn’t show the selection screen. For that go to Boot option in Clover Configurator and select “Fast”. Pre-installation// BIOS Settings: Update your BIOS to the latest version Open your BIOS settings with F10 Restore your BIOS defaults Check the following settings: Boot settings - Custom Logo (Optional for Apple logo at boot) Boot settings - Disable fast boot Boot settings - Boot mode - UEFI hybrid (with CSM) Boot settings - Disable Secure boot (disabled if greyed out) Device configuration - Disable Wake on USB Built-in Device Options - Disable LAN/WLAN switching Built-in Device Options - Wake on LAN - Disable Port Options - Disable serial port Port Options - Disable 1394 port // Making a USB installation: Install Python and don’t forget to select “Add python to path” in the installer Open GibMacOS (gibmacos.bat) as administrator Select recovery mode with “R” Select the option for Catalina with “full install” in the note GibMacOS will create some folders, open them until you see a .pkg file Copy the path of the PKG file Insert your USB Stick at a usb port on your motherboard In this case it are the USB ports under your power button. Open GibMacOS (makeinstall.bat) as administrator Select your USB drive with the corresponding number If the installer ask for your recovery path paste it here (pkg of step 6) This can take up to 15 minutes // Preparing the USB drive: Delete all files in the following folders on your USB drive /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi /EFI/CLOVER/drivers/BIOS /EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other Delete the CLOVERX64.efi and config.plist in your /EFI/CLOVER folder Open Clover pre-installation folder Copy /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI to the /EFI/CLOVER/ folder on your USB drive Copy all files from the following folders in the pre-installation folder to your USB drive /EFI/BOOT/ /EFI/CLOVER/drivers/BIOS /EFI/CLOVER/drivers/UEFI /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other And finally copy CLOVERX64.EFI, config.plist and drivers64UEFI to the clover folder on your USB drive. Check the Clover folder. You now should have a copy of my Clover folder (a full copy won’t work, that’s why i use all the steps) // Install MacOS Catalina: Restart your laptop Press F9 for your boot menu Select Boot from EFI file Navigate to /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi Select this option and Clover will load In clover, hit Enter on MacOS recovery installation In the MacOS Installation open Disk Utility Remove all volumes on the Internal SSD Select Container Disk1 and select Erase Name your disk (i like “Hackintosh HD”) Select APFS as structure, and click erase. Close the disk utility and open the MacOS Installer Follow the instructions in the installer Your laptop will reboot and show Clover again select the installer from your internal SSD instead of the USB Drive. This can take up to 30 minutes If your laptop reboots for the second time and shows Clover select Boot macOS from internal HDD. This can take up to 10 minutes Post-installation// Clover Configurator: Go to Finder > Settings Enable your hard drive to show on your desktop Unzip Clover Configurator Move Clover Configurator to your Apps folder on your hard drive // Setup your EFI disk: Open Clover Configurator If you start Clover Configurator for the first time you need to go to Security in your settings panel and enable Clover to start. Click on Mount Efi and select Mount Partition. A Partition will show on your desktop Rename the partitition to “HP_TOOLS” (for HP Custom boot logo) Move the Hewlett-Packard folder to your EFI partition (for HP Custom boot logo) Replace the EFI folder with the post-installation clover folder. If you don’t want to use my bootloader theme you can delete the bootcamp_alpha folder from /EFI/CLOVER/themes/ // Make SMBios suitable for iCloud: Open Clover Configurator Select File > Open and open the config.plist you just moved to your EFI/CLOVER/ Click on SMBIOS Select “Generate New” under both System - Serial Number as System - SmUUID // Enable Audio: Install VoodooHDA Click next until you see the screen “Installationtype” Now select “Edit” on the left. Unfold the first option (VoodooHDA Clover UEFI/ESP and select macOS Catalina. Click Install. You will get voodoohda.kext in your clover folder and a extra menu in your preferences. Go to your system preferences Select VoodooHDA On the left select Microphone (Both) Slide the Monitor slider all the way down. // Disable hibernate (Your system will freeze at sleep otherwise): Open up your terminal and run the following commands sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0 sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage sudo mkdir /var/vm/sleepimage All Done!

Sarah Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hi, I just tried your guide but even though I followed everything step by step twice, making sure to replace the files with the ones from your clover, I can't get past the Mac screen at the installation point where it tells me I need an internet connection. Did you do your first install with Mojave or with Catalina? I was trying with Catalina but i see that you mention getting Catalina to work by first installing mojave. Would you recommend that I do the same and try to install mojave first? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
