[Guide]HP dv6-3160 Core i5

[KHIT]

Hi

I have succesfully installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard on my HP Pavilion dv6-3160 laptop, and dual-booting with OEM Windows 7.

 

[04/11/11] Post has been edited with new Extra folder(ZIP) and org.chameleon.boot.plist

[13/11/11] Added missing steps on how to get graphics working

[23/11/11] Posted a link for the video version of this tutorial right after the requirements

--------------------------------

Specs:

Intel Core i5 460M 2.53GHz

Intel HD Graphics/AMD Radeon HD5650

640GB HDD(partitioned 600GB(Windows)+40GB(OS X)

4GB DDR3 RAM

-------------------------------

And here is how I did.

 

What you will need:

Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 retail dvd or a restore made to a 8GB pendrive can also be used(note no need to install bootloader on the pendrive)

tonymacx86 [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]: Snow Leopard Edition

tonymacx86 Chimera bootloader

Extra folder(attached as ZIP)

Atheros Wifi for 10.6.8(attached as ZIP)

VoodooBattery.kext(attached as ZIP)

PS2 kexts(attached as ZIP)

Modified files for installation on MBR formatted disk by deviato, if you want to make the dual-boot(attached as ZIP and instructions included)

USB Mouse

Localtime-Toogle.pkg

Mac OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update

------------------------------------

------------------------------------

If you're making the dual-boot, as me, make sure to have made a partition in Computer Management, search Google to find out how, and make the partition min. 20GB in size, format it as NTFS or FAT32, doesn't matter what you

choose.

 

Burn [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to a CD or DVD.

 

Copy all the downloaded files, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], Extra folder, PS2 Kexts, VoodooHDA etc. to a pendrive, and not the same as the one we are using for installation(only if you will install with pendrive)

 

Now we are ready to start.

 

First insert [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and boot by hitting ESC and then F9 and select Internal CD/DVD. If you're using a pendrive, make sure this is plugged in before boot.

if you're using retail dvd, take out [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and insert retail dvd, wait a few seconds and press F5(no need to press FN at this point) When selecting your boot device, dvd or pendrive, boot with -v cpus=1. Simply highlight the boot device and type in the boot flags and press Enter.

When inside the installer, select your language and continue. When at the welcome screen select Utilities in the upper menu and select Disk Utility.

When Disk Utility has loaded, select the partition you just created in Windows, and select the Erase-tab, in the windows select Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) in Format, and in Name you type what ever you want. I called it Macintosh HD, you can call yours OS X or whatever you want to call it.

Hit Erase and confirm it in the dialog box. Wait for it to complete. Close Disk Utility.

Now hit Next at the Welcome Screen and Agree the EULA from Apple and at the next screen select the partition we just formatted to Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and hit the Customize button.

Now deselect the Printer archives, Additional Fonts and the languages you don't want. Hit OK and afterwards Install. Let OS X install and when it finishes hit reboot.

 

Now if you're using the retail dvd remove it and insert [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and boot as the first time, by hitting ESC then F9 and selecting Internal CD/DVD. This time select the partition we just installed OS X onto and boot with -v cpus=1.

Let the system boot and set everything up. When it asks for network connection select "My computer doesn't connect to the internet" and hit next. Put in your First and last name, nothing more needed. Hit Continue and in the warning dialog hit continue. Choose username, password and password hint and hit continue.

Now Select Time Zone and hit continue. Hit Finish and you're at the desktop.

 

Now we have succesfully installed the operating system, but we still need to make it able to boot from the harddrive without [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].

 

First copy all the files we put on the second pendrive onto the desktop. Double-click the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo.dmg.

Unzip extra folder and drag onto Macintosh HD. If asked for password input password and press enter.

Now we need to edit the com.apple.boot.plist(this changes to org.chameleon.boot.plist after installation of bootloader)

Drag the com.apple.boot.plist onto the desktop and open it.

Just copy the code below into the file and save it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>cpus=1 npci=0x2000</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1366x768x32</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Close the file again and drag it to the Extra folder and select replace. if asked for authentication entit enter password and hit enter.

 

Unzip Chimera bootloader and install it with default settings.

 

Now drag VoodooBattery.kext into Macintosh HD/Extra/Extensions.

 

PS2 kexts have to be installed as in instructions file.

 

Atheros AR9285 10.6.8 must also be installed this way

-Apple80211Monitor.bundle - place this file in System/Library/SystemConfiguration (you may need to delete the one that's allready there)

-IO80211Family.kext - install this to System/Library/Extensions using Kext Utility

 

Open up [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], and just leave it open, don't do anything with it for now

 

Now open the 10.6.8 combo update pkg and install.

 

When install of 10.6.8 has finished, don't hit restart yet.

 

Leave the installer open and select the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Windows instead. If the installer windows disapear just reopen [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and hit continue and agree.

 

Now select the following settings:

System Utilities

Drivers & Bootloaders > Kexts & Enablers > Audio > Universal > VoodooHDA 0.2.72

Drivers & Bootloaders > Kexts & Enablers > Disk > IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector

Drivers & Bootloaders > Kexts & Enablers > Misclellaneous > NullCPUPowerManagement

Drivers & Bootloaders > Kexts & Enablers > Network > Realtek Gigabit Ethernet 2.0.6

OSx86 Software > Kext Utility

Hit Install and enter your password

 

Delete all AppleIntel... except for AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext and AppleIntelHDGraphicsGLDriver.bundle

 

Run Kext Utility and enter your password. When it has finished click Quit.

 

Remove [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] from the DVD-drive and reboot

 

If it just boots into Windows, look at the section Windows bootloader at the bottom.

 

If you get Chimera bootscreen select the Mac partition and hit enter. Let it boot.

 

After it boots to the desktop you should have Mouse and keyboard working, partly working sound and QE/CI with native 1366x768 resolution.

 

Now we need to fix the sound. Go to Macintosh HD/System/Library/Extensions and locate VoodooHDA.kext. Right-click and select Show contents of package.

Now go into Contents and open Info.plist

Find the code that looks like this:

			<key>VoodooHDAEnableHalfVolumeFix</key>
		<false/>
		<key>VoodooHDAEnableVolumeChangeFix</key>
		<false/>

And change it to this:

			<key>VoodooHDAEnableHalfVolumeFix</key>
		<true/>
		<key>VoodooHDAEnableVolumeChangeFix</key>
		<true/>

 

Now we just need to fix some settings on the clickpad/trackpad. It is recognized as Synaptics TouchPad v7.4, but it's a Synaptics ClickPad v7.4. I haven't found a solution for this yet. This means that we can't click with the touchpad, that was also the reason we needed a USB Mouse.

Open System Preferences, and select Trackpad. Tick the option Click. Now we can tap on the Trackpad, to click. Also select the Tap trackpad with two fingers for secondary click. Now we have the trackpad working.

 

So here is what we have working at the moment.

We can dual-boot Windows and OS X

We have working sound

Partly working graphics

Working keyboard and touchpad

Working battery status and settings.

 

What isn't working

Change screenresolution in System Preferences

Adjust screen brightness

Sleep

 

Booting with the Windows Bootloader/Boot MBR/Boot Manager

If you are still booting with the Windows Boot Manager after installing Chimera, this is very simple to fix, so that you are able to boot into OS X and continue setting everything up.

First boot into Windows and download this

After downloading and installing EasyBCD open it up and select Add New Entry.

Select the Mac tab and in the dropdown menu select MBR.

You can change the NST Mac OS X to Mac OS X or what ever you want to call it and hit Add Entry

Close the Application and reboot. Now select the new Entry you just added and continue at the Chimera bootscreen.

 

I hope this helped people running the same setup as me, or people who have almost the same setup as me.

In a few days I will try this method on a Lenovo with the same setup, except for the dedicated graphics, which is an nvidia GeForce 330M.

good guide. no aceleration in Intel HD Graphics?

 

know any application to lower the screen brightness?

[KHIT]

I have transparent taskbar, and working graphics, but when opening Finder the display {censored}s up. There are some bugs, but the main thing is that it's working for the things I need it for.

I have tried a ACPIBackligt.kext for lowering the the brightness, but this caused a KP on restart.

[pgsubuntu]

Thanks, I'll try "ACPIBackligt.kext" to see if it works.

 

(i'm speak spanish. thanks google)

[ninditsu]

for app store login, try adding npci=0x2000 to org.chameleon.boot.plist

 

but for testing, just type it in chameleon loader first
