HP Elitebook x360 1040 G6 Opencore Hackintosh

This is not a guide, nor a complete EFI to drop and start. Your own results actually may be much better than my dir.

specs

• macOS Big Sur 11.2.2 (20D80) with OpenCore 0.6.7
• Intel i5-8365U / Intel UHD Graphics 620
• 16 GB of soldered Samsung DDR4 memory @ 2400Hz (as reported by macOS)
• replaced PM981 SSD - EVO 860 and 970 EVO Plus work fine
• Intel AX200 soldered wifi&bt combo
• 14" 1920x1080 SureView

what works

please read notes

• WIFI & Bluetooth

• Speakers - sometimes they won't show up in preferences & there is another speakers option that doesn't work (WIP)

• Headphone combo jack

• Trackpad with gestures

• Touchscreen with pen input

• USB 3 & USB-C Ports

• Fn keys to change volume or brightness

• Battery status

• sleep

• HDMI

• HP Sure View

• FileVault 2

what doesn't

• Webcam: detected by system as USB device (disabled in my USBMapJHL7540), but no image
• Windows Hello biometric auth (fingerprint & IR camera)
• Internal microphone - handled by Intel Smart Sound Technology
• Thunderbolt(?) - don't own any thunderbolt device, so no way to test
• Volume buttons near USB-C - need some work to do, they are under Intel HID 5 Button Array

BIOS Version: R90 01.08.03 Rev.A

BIOS Settings

• Disable SecureBoot, Wake on Lan, Power Control, set DVMT to 64MB and you should be good to go
• unfortunately (at lest in my case) there is no way to turn off Wake on USB

I'm not going to cover how to install macOS - dortania guide

ssdt

• SSDT-AWAC - generated by ssdttime
• SSDT-BAT - battery status, manually made
• SSDT-EC - generated by ssdttime
• SSDT-HPET - generated by ssdttime
• SSDT-PLUG - allows for better power management
• SSDT-PLNF - needed
• SSDT-TB3 - thunderbolt fixes, more info below
• SSDT-USBX - needed for skylake and newer
• SSDT-XOSI - for trackpad and touchscreen to work, with patch in config.plsit

kexts:

• Lilu
• WhateverGreen
• AirportItlwm / itlwm
• AppleALC
• CPUFriend
• IntelBluetoothFirmware
• NoTouchID
• NVMEFix
• RTCMemoryFixup (not sure if needed, but with config.plist patches works so)
• VirtualSMC (with plugins)
• VoodooI2C (with HID)
• VoodooPS2Controller
• IOElectrify might be needed for Thunderbolt
• USBMap

notes

• wifi card is not replaceable, using airportitlwm
• couldn't get PM981 to work so I needed to replace it, 970 EVO Plus with NVMEfix works fine tho
• USB-C port tested with HP USB-C Mini dock, no thunderbolt devices to test thunderbolt functionality
• won't sleep with attached external storage when connected via USB-A port due to locked Wake on USB option in bios, in case you want to put your laptop to sleep with external storage use USB-C ports
• sometimes it boots in SureView mode by default
• if it boots to a black screen turn SureView and use it for a little bit
• brightness keys on keyboard change SureView brightness, system preferences allow to change normal brightness
• CPUPM - needs modded voltageshift with wrmem see improving perfomance
  • normal geekbench score vs after voltageshift
• sometimes the CPU Power gets limited to 10W when waking up from sleep mode - to fix this you need to connect a charger, put laptop to sleep and then wake

two USBMap kexts are present in this directory:

• TXHC was mapped before SSDT-TB3 - USB-C ports work after reboot, after sleep only at 2.0 bus
• JHL7540 was mapped after SSDT, with disabled camera

Thunderbolt 3

recently i discovered that USB-C ports didn't work at 3.0 speeds after sleep. this is (my guess) due to USB-C controller being under the Thunderbolt controller. this is where SSDT-TB3 comes to play - with it looks like the Thunderbolt controller is finally being powered on after sleep which results in USB ports working correctly I DID NOT test Thunderbolt devices as I don't have any at hand. That's also why my config has both IOElectrify & TbtForcePower.efi
