HP Probook 640 G1

[johnwalked]

Hello World, I have a working EFI on Monterey except for wifi & bluetooth (BCM943228HMB)
I wanted to try Sonoma is there anyone using Ventura or later on HP Probook 640 G1?

Last macOS version to officially and natively support Haswell platforms and HD4600 graphics is Monterey.

You may install and run Ventura orSonoma on your Haswell HP Probook 640 G1 laptop but not without OCLP patching to regain graphics acceleration for the deprecated iGPU.

If you begin with a traditional macOS installation (which will be without graphics acceleration), make sure to use theSMBIOS of a supported model. You may look at our articles about Ventura & Sonoma to that effect. After initial installation, you may then apply OCLP patching for graphics acceleration and wireless/bluetooth (for which OCLP is totally mandatory).

Thanks Herve, can I get ProBook 640/650 G1 EFI for Monterey please so I can start from fresh.

Lookup existing HP 640/650/840 G1 threads.

Follow the Dortania guidance.

Given that you have an existing Monterey setup, all you need to do is update your add-on kexts to latest versions (Lilu & PlugIns specifically), then make the necessary adjustments to your bootloader (version, config parameters such as quirks or boot settings).

To fix my wifi (BCM943228HMB) Mr Maldon sent me this procedure

"use this kext with no plugins and inject dev id 43a0. in my case i'm using this:"

Do consult our dedicated thread on Wireless cards in the R&D->Hardware technical info forum section.

Do think of using the forum Search facility before posting. It would have led you to pages like this one, this one or this one or even this one...

 

If @MaLd0n gave you this piece of advice, he was surprisingly misinformed or he misunderstood you because it's been known for at least 10 years that Broadcom BCM43228 chipset (PCI id 14e4:4359) is totally unsupported. You'll have to replace your card by a supported model.

 

Above ASM code/properties injection applies to BCM4350-based cards (eg: DW1820A) as detailed here.
