This is not an upgrade! Quick guide for people starting from scratch.
If you are one of the users that got stuck with 10.7.4 and cannot download previous version to use with blueking's HP Installer these steps should get you up and running in no time.
1. Please use Unibeast to create USB drive as per instructions step 1 to 3:

copy attached below files: ShowAllFiles, Extra, Chimera to USB drive to have it handy.
2.If you need to add dsdt.aml to /Extra folder (4730S or 1080p) use ShowAllFiles app to make files visible on Unibeast USB drive
ShowAllFiles.app.zip
3. Optional
If you plan to make your Unibeast drive perfect by further customizing it:
adding kext for SD card or already patched kext for audio, network or bluetooth, USB drive needs to accept ownership and permission changes
a. please highlight the USB drive in Finder and go File->Get Info
b. Make sure "Ignore ownership on this volume" is unchecked
