[WIP] HP Dv6-6047cl Mountain Lion 10.8.4
Hello, I've been furiously working on getting my laptop to run Mountain Lion. I felt I should share what I found so far and hopefully it can help those who have similar models and specifications.
My specifications:
Bios: Insyde rev.3.5 F.1A
CPU: Intel Core i7-2630QM @ 2.0 ghz - Working with Speedstep
RAM: 8 GB DDR3 @ 1333 mhz - Working
HDD: Toshiba 1TB 5400rpm sata - Working with 4k boot sector fix (I recently replaced this with an SSD and I would recommend doing this as it increases battery life and performance drastically.)
Chipset: HM65
Graphics: Intel HD 3000 + AMD Radeon 6770m - HD 3000 working (AMD not working of course)
Audio: IDT High Definition audio - Working with no mic volume control (Help always appreciated)
USB: 2 usb 2.0, 2 usb 3.0 - Working
Wifi: Atheros AR928X - Working (Or any other halfsize pcie wifi card that supports OS X)
Ethernet: Realtek LAN - Working with RTL8169.kext from Multibeast
Card reader - Not working at all (Help appreciated)
External VGA and HDMI ports - Working
1. Flash the bios in the zip file to your system (BE VERY SURE YOU HAVE THE SAME MODEL OR A MODEL WITH THE SAME BIOS.) using windows 7 or greater.
2. Download 10.8 Mountain Lion app in whatever way you choose.
3. Use Unibeast (I use 1.5.3 since it's the only one that seems to work for me.) to create your usb key as usual, make sure to tick laptop support.
4. Install the OS as usual. Boot with the cpus=1 argument. You can also follow Rehabman's tutorial at this point to make a dualboot of windows and mac os x if you so desire (good for flashing bios and playing games) Also, on reboot you will have to reset the cmos by removing the battery and power cable THEN removing the cmos battery and putting it back in.
5. Boot into your new install using the usb key and the cpus=1 argument again, download the 10.8.4 combo update and perform the update.
6. When the update finishes, do not reboot. Leave the finished installer open and run the latest Multibeast for ML and get patched appleintelcpupowermanagement kext, apple RTC patch, the realtek ethernet kext, and if you're using an ssd enable trim and then close Multibeast
7. Next, use the lapic kernel patcher to patch the kernel for all 4 cores. Then open Terminal and type in these commands, typing in your root password when necessary.
sudo chown root:wheel /mach_kernel
sudo chmod 644 /mach_kernel
8. Install the kexts from the "Kexts" folder with your preferred kext installer
9. Follow Rehabman's tutorial here on installing the Trackpad Kext in the Release folder, use your preferred kext installer for this: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voo...How-to-Install
10. Install HWSensors from the package provided.
11. Install chameleon, I used 2.1 but anything later will probably suffice.
12. Copy the Extra folder to the root of your hard drive.
13. Next copy "DisplayVendorID-4ca3" folder to /System/Library/Displays/Overrides. This is to correct the name in system information for the display.
For anyone who has an SSD, skip 14 and 15.
14. Reboot, but boot into your usb installer again. Check what your hard disk is named in disk utility, unmount it, and then open up a terminal window.
15. Type this in EXACTLY
dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=device name bs=4K
Raw device being that name you checked in disk utility.
17. If you have done this all correctly, you may boot to the hard drive/ solid state drive and enjoy a 95%~ complete hackintosh!
Things that I am working on:
-Mapping the brightness keys, slider in display prefs still works but when you turn the slider all the way to the left it turns off the backlight
-Switchable graphics or disabling the 6770m completely whether it be a DSDT edit or via bios (via bios sometimes works but more than most of the time causes a cmos reset)
-Microphone controls are not present in the sound prefpane
-HD 3000 artifacts (Though, it seems the FakeSMC provided fixed this)
Credits for the patched AppleHDA, Voodoops2, Chameleon, Kext utility, the custom bios, Lapic kernel patcher, and anything else I missed, go to the creators of these tools and extensions as I did not make them.
