EFI folder should work on other macOS versions, but it was only tested with Catalina and Big Sur
Model | HP Pavilion 550 (550-xxx) series |

GPU | Intel UHD 630 |
RAM | 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz |

Everything works fine, with USB patched, but sleepinng doesn't work.
Download this repo. Generate SMBIOS data with GenSMBIOS and set it in config.plist. Then copy to your EFI partition and that's it.
- Stable and reliable system, with USB ports patched!
- fully working sound including DP
- Sleeping breaks, and I have no idea :(
There are two ways you can install Big Sur:
-
If you have an already working macOS, download the Installer from the App Store and make a bootable Installer with
createinstallmedia
by using this command in Terminal:sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Big\ Sur.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume
-
If you are using Windows, use macrecovery.py from the offical OpenCore release package. Follow this guide to understand how it works.
After you have created a bootable Installer, copy the EFI folder to the EFI partition and set SMBIOS data generated with GenSMBIOS. Then install as usual. After the installation, mount the EFI partition of the installed OS and copy the EFI folder to its partition.
