Will this guide be updated to 10.7.4? Or can I use the HP installer tool as is?
Download Big Donkey's kexts:

Download Kext Wizard:

Download and Install 10.7.4 Combo Updater but DO NOT RESTART:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1524?view ... cale=en_US
Install Big Donkey's kexts using Kext Wizard ( Use the Installation Tab )
Run Rebuild Cache and Repair Permissions using Kext Wizard's Maintenance tab... this might take a while - about 10 minutes or so.
Once Kext Wizard is finished restart and all should be good!
I tried to follow the above but I made a mistake. Instead of downloading the standalone 10.7.4 combo installer I allowed Software Update to update automatically, but didn't restart, then I installed the kexts as described above, then I restarted. But of course then I couldn't boot.
So I followed the post here:
..and I successfully booted in to my Lion installation and I proceeded to install BigDonkey's texts as per the first quoted post. Then I restarted, but still cannot boot (KP during boot).John V said:Chipsybg said:Guys, I just replaced my screen with the V4 1080p and now the installer is a no go.
Can't get it to boot from the Flash drive. Tried -F -X -V, it always get to a random point and stops. Windows installed without a issue, Lion can't boot at all :?
Try this method to boot up... using rBoot-LE:
If you are foolish enough to install the combo-updater and restart without running the HP Probook Installer you'll have problems booting into Lion. The solution that worked for me was TonyMac's rBoot-LE http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/09/ ... -lion.html
In the words of TonyMac, "This CD will rescue existing installations of Snow Leopard or Lion. It will also boot an xMove created partitions. It will boot xMove, allowing a fresh Lion install."
It's a very small file, about 11 megs. I'd tried to burn/install onto a CD with Toast but no luck. But I had success burning a CD with Apple's Disk Utility.
Insert the rBoot-LE CD into your HP and restart. Once you see the Chimera startup screen press a key once, this will bring up the bootable partition screen. Select the Lion partition and press the Enter key to continue. The boot process takes a while, about 20+ minutes for me! The screen might turn white and/or blue for a while but just let in run and it will eventually boot to your desktop.
From there run the latest HP Probook Installer, eject the rBoot-LE CD and restart.
Print these instructions and place the rBoot-LE CD in your laptop case for emergencies!
Any pointers on what I should do greatly appreciated!
