ammoune78 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) HP Pavilion 15" P208NK Since I've successfully installed macOS Catalina on this P208NK laptop, I decided to write this guide. This is a old laptop, but in case anyone wants to install macOS on it, this is the guide needed! Overview: Quote OpenCore is the Bootloader used for this config, and is the best choice for this particular laptop, which won't let the macOS drive, be the first from the UEFI Boot Menu. The Windows drive will always remain the first, and will never result in a corrupted EFI folder. Thus, you will have to select the macOS drive on each reboot or power on, this is due to the HP Inside BIOS {censored}. This laptop can let you install 3 drive in the same time: 1- The Original Drive 2- Swapping the Optical Drive with Caddy 3- M.2 Slot on the down side of the motherboard. LapTop Specifications: Quote - Intel core i7-5500u - Intel 5500 HD Graphics - nVIDIA GeForce 840m - 1366 x 768 LCD Panel - 8 GB SamSung RAM DDR3 1600MHz - 1 TB Toshiba Hard Drive Disk - Realtek ALC290 Audio Controller - Realtek RTL8106EUS Ethernet Controller - Broadcom Wireless Card (Not Compatible with macOS, and don't expect it to work! You need to buy a compatible one) - Realtek SD-Card - 2x USB 3.0 including one operating in backward compatibility & 1x USB 2.0 - Mouse & Trackpad fully working on macOS including gestures Screenshots Refence: Quote About: Audio: Camera: Ethernet: Graphics: PCI: Power: SATA: USB: What Works: Quote - Everything (*x 2) What doesn't works: Quote - nVIDIA GeForce 840m * - Original Wireless card needs to be replaced * Instructions: Quote The EFI, is purely minimalist in therms of config used options, this will keeps macOS in a more stable state. In addition, the ACPI battery code wasn't used, which needs much more ACPI renames & code deletes with a new battery table patch under EC Device that needs to be added. This is very careful for HP Inside Bios, that doesn't like does kind of tweakings, to prevent it from possible corruption: the Battery is the best exemple as of possible corruption under windows & other OS's is expected. But, a kext is now used to manage Battery Level & Charging, including the AC Power Adapter. The conclusion: "Clean and Stable until the time i'm writing this guide". The OpenCore version used is the 0.9.3, and you'll find the releases, in every opencore version that ive added to this guide. You'll have to generate your own credible serials, add your proper Wireless Kexts as far as you swap your original WiFi card with another one. Keep in mind, that if you're using this build for another similar HP laptop, with the same Intel CPU generation (Broadwell), you'll have to generate your own CPUFriendData kernel extension to lower the CPU frequency, otherwise the frequency will remain over the 1,20 GHz. Last and not least, for better display comfort, i'll recomand you changing the LCD panel with FHD 1920 * 1080. This will let you enjoy your laptop more on every OS, not only APPLE's one. Here Comes the EFI config part section: Note that you can easily copy the code inside the specified quote section and paste it to a plist file, for modification if needed "You only have to copy the needed Dictionary section and paste it over your config.plist", as it's written in XML. ACPI: I used SSDT-HPET and an all in one SSDT containing different patches needed, and a DSL file is included in the EFI/OC/ACPI/Decompiled folder, for later modification. Accompanied are config patches on the fly, for IRQS, _CRS, RTC and Brightness keyboard keys!
