HP Probook 6460b

Hi,

Here will be an evolving thread to install ML on a HP Probook 6460b (If we could melt it in the Probook Installer it would be just great).

Computer Characteristics :
- BIOS Version 68SCE F40 (F22 was working fine too -- I already tried it with Lion and ML)
- HD3000 (VGA output only -- transparency on top osx menubar: OK)
- Core i5-2450M (Sandy Bridge)
- USB 2 only
- HD Webcam
- Intel HD sound (Codec : IDT 92HD81B1X5 -- Device ID : 0x111d7605)
- Screen max res: 1366x768

What to notice ?
- Installation of ML 10.8.3
- TrackPad (no gesture at all)
- Memory Card reader (need to disable FireWire in Bios)
- Sound (Controls have no effects on it)
- Wifi Card does not work (Special thanks to HP for its BIOS Whitelisting )
- Bluetooth (Working Out Of the Box -- only sometime)
- HD Camera (Very big pixels with FaceTime ... -- HD resolution when trying to get an osx user icon picture)

What I've done :
- Use Unibeast to Install ML 10.8.3 on your computer
- Reboot your computer and boot on your installation USB Key
- MultiBeast 5.3.1 :
- User DSDT (put DSDL.aml file on your desktop before)
- Drivers & Bootloaders -> Drivers -> Audio -> Universal -> VoodooHDA (can't remind which version was working but without the sound controls didn't affect it in any way)
- Drivers & Bootloaders -> Drivers -> Miscellanous -> FakeSMC v5.1.61
- Drivers & Bootloaders -> Drivers -> Miscellanous -> NullCPUPowerManagement
- Drivers & Bootloaders -> Drivers -> Network -> Intel hnak's AppleIntelE1000e v2.1.7
- Customization -> System Definitions -> Macbook Pro -> Macbook Pro 8,1
- Customization -> SSDT Options -> Sandy Bridge Core i5
- Probook Installer 6.1b11
- Graphic glitch fix
- Kext Wizard
- Kext Wizard
-> Trackpad & Keyboard http://www.osx86.net/view/2290-lion_generic_trackpadas_mouse_kext_-_hp_8540w.html
-> SD Card Kext from http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook/83076-hp-probook-6470b.html

If you have any idea to improve it, I'd be glad to try it =)
Problems :
- HD camera producing Huge Pixels
- No battery indicator (I failed when tryed to patch my dsdt to use the kext from http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-probook/83076-hp-probook-6470b.html)
- Streaming Problem ... Songs and Videos stop after something like 2s ...
- No signal on VGA
- BIOS Whitelisting : How to include http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-proboo...-general-our-wifi-whitelisting-days-0v3r.html ?
- Audio Controls not working
- DSDT Patches to add (since each time I tried, my computer didn't boot )
- No brightness control

Best

PS: Find attached :
- My DSDT (original ones and fixed ones for BIOSes F22 and F40) View attachment 58536
- Hex_and_Verbs (for AppleHDA patching -- I failed in making it working when patching my DSDT... View attachment 58537)


NB: Special Thanks to RehabMan and everyone who try to make the osx86 scene moving toward.

Whitelister does indeed work for the 6460b. Now have integrated wifi card. Do have to tape pin 20 and i turned off the wifi status button in the bios for the windows 7 boot because it was going crazy but it works.

Yeah you still see the bios warning but once you boot into the OS it works fine. You must have a supported wifi card installed obviously. Rehabman made this

You can follow this tut he created for simple install.

Basically it looks like it just enables the port after the bios shuts it off. Probably more complicated than that but I'm just guessing. I don't have my probook sitting in front of me right now so I don't remember what card I put in it but it was cheap and it works.

How can you enable the card in Windows? Tape pin 20?
