Feng QUan Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Hello my friend. My machine is HP Z800, configured as X5675*2 /Firepro W7000. I refer to the information of some experts in this forum, especially @mfifer's excellent work, and successfully made my own EFI file. However, the problem is that the machine cannot be shut down properly and I have to manually shut down. I tried to MAPPING USB, or directly modify DSDT, but it didn't work either. What I want to ask is, has anyone been able to solve this problem? I am attaching my own EFI file. This EFI can successfully boot Monterey. During the installation, I finished installing Monterey in my other HP Z840 and then transferred the SSD to the HP Z800 machine. Then, boot and work perfectly with this EFI. Another known issue is that when the machine is powered on, I plug in my USB keyboard and it doesn't work. The machine doesn't even recognize this keyboard. I hope you guys can solve this problem. I test for several times, the shutdown problem seems to be solved. However, the "restart" problem appears. When I restart my HP Z800, the whole computer seems lost response with a black screen .

mfifer Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) I mentioned in a related thread, that I had time to review the OC docs and I fixed my reboot-not-working issue by making this change to my config.plist in the Quirks section (change false to true): <key>FadtEnableReset</key> <true/> See if that change helps your restart challenges... -=- mf On 3/10/2022 at 8:33 PM, Feng QUan said: Hello my friend.

Ok, Sorry. From first message on this page I thought that EFI was moved from z840 Quote "I finished installing Monterey in my other HP Z840 and then transferred the SSD to the HP Z800 machine.

the_ace Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 @Rocky12 Any additional notes or hints for the installation? is there any editor for OC out there like the clover configurator?

It's a double whammy of a Hackintosh AND a deprecated processor with an installer block. I've just not had the time to fight the combination successfully. One of these days I will because we are probably coming to the end of the line of X86 compatible OS releases for older hardware, so I'd like to go as far as possible. (I'm also saving up for a Mac Studio, having read the writing on the wall...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sok5 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) after installation complete use this EFI with csr-active-config 03080000. so you can use OpenCore-Patcher for your video card patching. Edited October 5, 2023 by sok5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OpenCore legacy patcher (OCL) https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases 4. OpenCore https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/releases 5. for your usb wifi https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-OC-Big-Sur-Adapter 6.Open OCL click on create macOS installer to download Ventura 13.6.1 it's easy then Sonoma After that click on create macOS installer => use exiting macOs installer => select your USB drive, it may take from 20 to 40min depend on your drive speed. to make your USB bootable when OCL finish, 7. Open OpenCore 0.9.6 => Utilities =>LegacyBoot =>BootInstall_X64.tool ,it will open Terminal script and then select usb # 8. copy and past preinstall EFI folder to your new EFI drive 9. remove all the hard drive except one you want to install. 10. Bio setup to boot from UBS 11. boot your usb installer => when it boot up => Disk utility => format APFS (GUID partition) exit and instill OS after installation finish, it'll reboot several time to complete the final operating system. 12. used step # 7 to make your hard drive bootable without USB drive. 10. copy and past post installation EFI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
