No matter what flags I use, I can't get the 4440s to boot to the installer.
Always hangs on IOBluetoothHCIController Start Completed
(sometimes hangs on mac framework successfully initialized.)

I reset the bios.
Changed the value you mentioned.
Used the boot flags and tried a variety of others.

I'm using 10.8.0 on a 4440s with a SANDY bridge i3 processor (That was working fine on my g770)
Using unibeast 1.7.0 and don't want to download 10.8.3 installer right now because with my internet connection it would take 5 hours. So I'm using the 10.8.0 saved in my apps folder on the other laptop.

That points to some kind of graphics issue (everything booted ok, you just don't see result on your laptop display). You might try plugging in an HDMI monitor. It is something that "-x" (safe mode) should take care of. You could also try removing /S/L/E/AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext from your Unibeast USB.

There probably isn't that many people who have tried 10.8.0 on the ProBook 4x40s.
I recommend using 10.8.3. It is all that is supported by the ProBook Installer for 4x40s anyway.

Using unibeast 1.7.0 and don't want to download 10.8.3 installer right now because with my internet connection it would take 5 hours. So I'm using the 10.8.0 saved in my apps folder on the other laptop.

I don't think you have a choice. Might as well start downloading now...
 
10.8.3 finally and not working either.

hdmi does the same thing.

Is /S/L/E/AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext removal the only other thing that could be preventing boot at this point?

What boot flags are you using?

Tried:

-v -x PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=No
-v PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=No
-v -x PCIRootUID=0
-v -x npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=No

edit
And just tried verbose by itself as well. Still hung up on the ioblutoothhcicontroller :(

Does the laptop have Radeon switchable graphics? If so, have you disabled it in BIOS?
 
Followed exactly. Should I try renaming ssdt-1 to ssdt?

outpute is:

MAC Framework successfully initialized
using 16384 buffer headers and 10240 cluser IO buffer header
[]

Then just the cursor, not flashing. No output on hdmi either.

No. The order in which SSDTs are loaded doesn't matter.

Hmmm... Have you verified that this laptop runs Windows or Linux correctly?
