HP G62 Notebook PC - Mac OS X Mavericks

hpG62.jpg

 

Specifications:

  • CPU: Intel Core i3 - i5 - i7 (Arrandale)
  • GPU (Intel only or both):
    • Intel HD Graphics [0046:8086]
    • ATI Radeon HD 5470M (512M/1G) [68e0:1002]
  • WLAN (one of these):
    • Broadcom BCM4313 [4727:14e4]
    • Intel WiFi Link 5100 [4232:8086]
    • Realtek RTL8191SE [8171/8172:10ec]

  • Card Reader: Realtek RTS5159: works OOB
  • DVD Drive: hp CDDVDW TS-L633N: works OOB
  • Battery: works
  • Sleep: works (closing lid too)

​

Pre-Installaton

  1. Using Windows, DOS or Ubuntu get your EDID raw data [solution b.].
  2. Decide if you want to keep the Intel HD Graphics or disable it.
  • If you decide to keep it, you don't have to do anything, skip to Installation
  • If you decide to disable it, go to post #2:

Installation

 

 

 

1. Prepare a bootable USB Flash Drive with OS X Mavericks [Creating the installer].

2. Install Chameleon and this module (to fix lapic Kernel Panic) on the flash drive:

 

install.png

 

3. Download the MacBookPro6,2 SMBIOS or create a new one using Chameleon Wizard. Put it as "SMBIOS.plist" in the Extra folder (on the flash drive).

4. Download FakeSMC binaries from kozlek's branch (I think is the best up to now) and install "FakeSMC.kext" on the flash drive using Kext Wizard.

5. Download VoodooPS2Controller from RehabMan's branch (it supports better Synaptics' touchpads). Install "VoodooPS2Controller.kext" on the flash drive using Kext Wizard.

 

6. Patch your DSDT. See post #6.

7. Put the patched DSDT in the Extra folder.

 

8. I suggest you to partition your installation drive as GPT. If you want to partition as MBR (for Windows 8 installation, but has some issues with Clover installation) remember to patch the Installer on your flash drive with the MBR patch.

 

Remember: if you've partitioned your drive as MBR, don't forget to add a new partition of 100MB or so, and name it 'EFI'.

 

9. Boot in your bootable USB Flash Drive, and Install Mac OS X.

10. When install finished, don't reboot or shutdown. Go to Utilities => Terminal...

11. Execute the following commands:

 

cp -R /Volumes/USB/System/Library/Extensions/FakeSMC.kext /Volumes/Mavericks/System/Library/Extensions

cp -R /Volumes/USB/System/Library/Extensions/VoodooPS2Controller.kext /Volumes/Mavericks/System/Library/Extensions

 

10. Reboot using the bootable USB Flash Drive, and now boot in Mac OS X. You should be able to get to the desktop.

11. Install these kexts using Kext Wizard or Kext Utility:

12. Download and install Clover. Use these settings:

 

clover.png

 

Remember: if you've partitioned your drive as MBR you need to run these commands:

1. Firstly, run this command to list all the partitions in your drive.

 

diskutil list

 

2. Find the partition 'EFI' and copy the IDENTIFIER.

3. Now run this command and replace "diskXsY" with the IDENTIFIER of partition 'EFI'.

 

sudo newfs_msdos -v EFI -F 32 /dev/rdiskXsY

 

Whenever you update the bootloader you have to unmount the volume EFI by running this command:

 

diskutil unmount EFI

 

13. Go in the EFI volume, then /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/Patched/ and put there your patched DSDT.

14. Go back in the CLOVER folder and open config.plist.

15. Disable all the DSDT Fixes, injection and USB fixes:

 

nofixes.png

 

16. Enable KernelAndKextPatches/KernelLapic fix (to prevent kernel panics on HP CPUs).

17. Add the MacBookPro6,2 SMBios according to this guide.

 

 

 

 

WORK IN PROGRESS!

How to disable integrated Intel HD Graphics

 

 

 

WARNING: I take no responsibility if anything goes wrong!

Tested Notebooks:

B13SL

B21ER

B23ER

B29SL

B51SE

B73SR

B90SP

 

Following this guide you will be able to disable Intel HD Graphics. I highly recommend to do this.

You can install Windows 8(.1) without any modded drivers! Just the official ones!  :thumbsup_anim:

And you can have Full QE/CI on Mac OS X.

 

1. Make sure you have the discrete graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 5470M).

2. Prepare a FreeDOS bootable USB Flash Drive using Rufus.

 

Cattura.png

 

3. Download HPBFO100.EXE and put it in your bootable USB Flash Drive with FreeDOS.

 

Cattura1.png

 

4. Boot in your USB Flash Drive.

5. Type "HPBFO100.EXE".

 

IMG_2027.jpg

 

6. Press 'S' to save the file.

 

IMG_2024.jpg

 

7. Then, hit 'Enter'.

 

IMG_2026.jpg

 

8. Now, boot in Windows / Mac OS X / Linux (whatever you want) and open EEPROM.dat with a plain text editor.

 

Cattura2.png

 

9. Change the value next to "OS SKU" from 2 to 0.

How to replace your current incompatible WLAN card with an Atheros AR9285
 

 

 


1. Buy an HP AR9285 card. According to the "Compaq Presario CQ62 Notebook PC HP G62 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide" these are the code parts for the AR9285.

I personally bought the "580101-002" because I don't live in America.

 

Schermata_2014_01_26_alle_18_33_08.png

 

Note: I suggest you to search the code part on a estore online (such as ebay, for example).

 

2. Once it arrived, let's install it. Put your notebook upside down.

How to patch ATI connectors

 

 

 

1. First of all, extract your video bios. You'll need AIDA64 for Windows.

2. Open it and right click on the menu bar (at bottom).

3. Click on Video Debug => Video BIOS Dump and save the BIOS somewhere.

4. Download redsock_bios_decoder and radeon_bios_decode.

5. Open Terminal and drag redsock_bios_decoder and drop it in the window. Then type '<' and drag vgabios.dmp and drop in it too.

6. Press Enter.

 

redsock.png

 

7. Copy the generated output in a plain text editor (such as Textedit, Sublime Text, etc.)

8. Do the same thing with radeon_bios_decode.

 

radeon.png

 

9. You should get something like this:

 

output.png

 

10. Now copy this text:

Connector Type 		00  00  00  00
ATY,ControlFlags 	00  00  00  00
Features 		00  00
Unknown 		00  00
Transmitter 		00
Encoder 		00
Hotplug ID 		00
Sense ID 		00

in the text editor three times (for LVDS, HDMI and VGA).

 

11. Connectors editing:

 

LVDS:

 

These are the values for LVDS:

Connector Type  02  00  00  00
ATY,ControlFlags  40  00  00  00
Features  09  01
Unknown  00  00
 
 
For Transmitter and Encoder values, look at the redsock dump:
 
Connector Object Id [14] which is [LVDS]
encoder obj id [0x1e] which is [iNTERNAL_UNIPHY (osx txmit 0x10 [duallink 0x0] enc 0x0)] linkb: false
 
In this case Transmitter value is 10 and the Encoder value is 00.
 
 

For Hotplug ID and Sense ID values, look at the radeon dump:

 
Connector at index 0
Type [@offset 45322]: LVDS (7)
Encoder [@offset 45326]: INTERNAL_UNIPHY (0x1e)
i2cid [@offset 45396]: 0x96, OSX senseid: 0x7
 
In this case Hotplug ID value is 00 and Sense ID value is 07.
 
 
The final personality of the connector is:
Connector Type  02  00  00  00
ATY,ControlFlags  40  00  00  00
Features  09  01
Unknown  00  00
Transmitter  10
Encoder  00
Hotplug ID  00
Sense ID  07
 
Now, put the values in order in one row:
02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 10 00 00 07
 

HDMI:

 

These are the values for HDMI:

Connector Type  00  08  00  00
ATY,ControlFlags  00  02  00  00
Features  00  01
Unknown  00  00
 
 
As before, for Transmitter and Encoder values, look at the redsock dump:
 
Connector Object Id [12] which is [HDMI_TYPE_A]
encoder obj id [0x20] which is [iNTERNAL_UNIPHY1 (osx txmit 0x11 [duallink 0x1] enc 0x2)] linkb: false
 
In this case Transmitter value is 11 and the Encoder value is 02.
 
 

For Hotplug ID and Sense ID values, look at the radeon dump:

 
Connector at index 1
Type [@offset 45332]: HDMI-A (11)
Encoder [@offset 45336]: INTERNAL_UNIPHY1 (0x20)
i2cid [@offset 45419]: 0x92, OSX senseid: 0x3
 
In this case Hotplug ID value is 01 and Sense ID value is 03.
 
 
The final personality of the connector is:
Connector Type  00  08  00  00
ATY,ControlFlags  00  02  00  00
Features  00  01
Unknown  00  00
Transmitter  11
Encoder  02
Hotplug ID  01
Sense ID  03
 
Now, put the values in order in one row:
00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 11 02 01 03
 

VGA:

 

These are the values for VGA:

Connector Type  10  00  00  00
ATY,ControlFlags  10  00  00  00
Features  00  01
Unknown  00  00
 
 
As before, for Transmitter and Encoder values, look at the redsock dump:
 
Connector Object Id [5] which is [VGA]
encoder obj id [0x15] which is [iNTERNAL_KLDSCP_DAC1 (osx txmit 0x00 enc 0x10?)] linkb: false
 
In this case Transmitter value is 00 and the Encoder value is 10.
 
 

For Hotplug ID and Sense ID values, look at the radeon dump:

 
Connector at index 2
Type [@offset 45342]: VGA (1)
Encoder [@offset 45346]: INTERNAL_KLDSCP_DAC1 (0x15)
i2cid [@offset 45446]: 0x90, OSX senseid: 0x1
 
In this case Hotplug ID value is 02 and Sense ID value is 01.
 
 
The final personality of the connector is:
Connector Type  10  00  00  00
ATY,ControlFlags  10  00  00  00
Features  00  01
Unknown  00  00
Transmitter  00
Encoder  10
Hotplug ID  02
Sense ID  01
 
Now, put the values in order in one row:
10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 02 01
 

12. Now we have to find which AMD framebuffer we are going to use. To do so, download ati-personality.pl.

13. Open Terminal and drag ati-personality.pl in its window, then press enter.

14. Leave it open until the script finishes his work.

15. Now look for AMD5000Controller personalities:

 

personality_output.png

 

16. Copy the 'Hoolock' personality and paste it in a text editor.

17. Now open /EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist.

18. Go to Graphics and change the values of these keys:

  • CustomEDID: put your EDID raw data [pre-installation post #1]
  • Duallink: set to 0
  • FBName: put Hoolock
  • Inject/ATI: set to Yes
  • InjectEDID: set to Yes
  • LoadVBios: set to Yes
  • PatchVBios: set to Yes

19. Go to KernelAndKextPatches and change the values of these keys:

  • ATIConnectorsController: put 5000
  • ATIConnectorsData: put Hoolock personality code [000400000406000000010000210305010004000004060000000100001102040204000000140200000001000002040103]
  • ATIConnectorsPatch: put your patched personality [020000004000000009010000100000070008000000020000000100001102010310000000100000000001000000100201]

DSDT editing and patching

 

To extract your DSDT you need Windows, Linux or Mac OS X (without patched DSDT loaded).

 

1. Download DSDT Editor and Patcher according to your O.S..

2. Run it.

3. Click on File -> Extract DSDT.

 

Immagine.png

 

4. Download the HP G62 B08SL patch (it's the same for the other G62 models).

5. Click on Patch -> Open... and open the patch previously downloaded.

 

Immagine2.png

 

6. Click on Apply. Then Close DSDT Editor.

7. Click on IASL -> Compile and click on Fix errors (there shouldn't be any errors now).

 

Cattura2.png

 

8. Download the G62 B13SL battery patch (it should work for the other G62 models too).

9. Do the same thing as before (open the patch, apply it, compile the DSDT and if there are some errors try to fix them by clicking on Fix errors).

 

If you have an AR9285:

 

1. Click Patch -> New.

2. Paste this code in the window:

into method label _DSM parent_label PXSX remove_entry;
into device label PXSX parent_label RP03 insert
begin
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n
{\n
    If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }\n
    Return (Package()\n
    {\n
        "device-id", Buffer() { 0x2A, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 },\n
        "name", "pci168c,2a",\n
        "IOName", "pci168c,2a",\n
        "subsystem-id", Buffer() { 0x8F, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 },\n
        "subsystem-vendor-id", Buffer() { 0x6B, 0x10, 0x00, 0x00 },\n
    })\n
}\n
end;

3. Click Apply.

 

 

If you have the Intel HD Graphics enabled:

 

 

You have to edit your DSDT in this way:

 

1. Just before the beginning of "Scope (_SB)" paste this code:

OperationRegion (BRIT, SystemMemory, 0xC0048254, 0x04)
Field (BRIT, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
{
LEVL, 32
}
OperationRegion (BRI2, SystemMemory, 0xC0048250, 0x04)
Field (BRI2, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
{
LEV2, 32
}
OperationRegion (BRI3, SystemMemory, 0xC00C8250, 0x04)
Field (BRI3, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
{
LEVW, 32
}
OperationRegion (BRI4, SystemMemory, 0xC00C8254, 0x04)
Field (BRI4, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
{
LEVX, 32
}

2. Go to _SB/PCI0/GFX0/DD02 and after the line "Device (DD02)" paste this code:

Name (_HID, EisaId ("LCD1234"))

3. Go to _SB/PNLF and delete the whole PNLF method.

4. Replace it with this code (paste it):

Device (PNLF)
{
Name (_HID, EisaId ("APP0002"))
Name (_CID, "backlight")
Name (_UID, 0x0A)
Name (_STA, 0x0B)
Method (_BCL, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Return (Package (0x13)
{
0x64,
0x32,
Zero,
0x06,
0x0C,
0x12,
0x18,
0x1E,
0x24,
0x2A,
0x30,
0x36,
0x3C,
0x42,
0x48,
0x4E,
0x54,
0x5A,
0x64
})
}
Method (_BCM, 1, NotSerialized)
{
Store (0x80000000, LEV2)
If (LGreaterEqual (Arg0, 0x64))
{
Store (0x12FF, LEVL)
}
Else

}
Else
{
If (LGreaterEqual (Arg0, 0x30))
{
Store (0x0396, LEVL)
}
Else
{
If (LGreaterEqual (Arg0, 0x2A))
{

}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Method (_BQC, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Return (^^PCI0.GFX0.DD02._BQC ())
}
Method (_DOS, 1, NotSerialized)
{
^^PCI0.GFX0._DOS (Arg0)
}
}

5. Now search for _WAK method and paste this code after the line "Method (_WAK, 1, Serialized)":

Store (0x80000000, LEVW)
Store (0x13121312, LEVX) 

 

 

 

10. If you added other patches, recompile your DSDT (IASL -> Compile) and check if there is any error.

11. Then save your DSDT by clicking on IASL -> Save .AML as and save it as "DSDT.aml".

I tested on HP G62-b21ER.

  • ATI Radeon HD 5470M: does not work. which framebuffer did you use? have a problem with color gradients?
  • Audio: Realtek ALC270: does not work. did you patch AppleHDA? How do you set up CodecCommander.kext ?

I tested on HP G62-b21ER.

  • ATI Radeon HD 5470M: does not work. which framebuffer did you use? have a problem with color gradients?
  • Audio: Realtek ALC270: does not work. did you patch AppleHDA? How do you set up CodecCommander.kext ?
  • Battery: does not work.
  • Sleep: does not work.

     

    Please upload your patched DSDT, Clover config.plist, CodecCommander.kext

    Thanks.

 

I use Hoolock framebuffer. Make sure you have correctly installed Clover, as it fixes the gradients problem. (make sure you have injected your EDID too!)

 

Here are my files

AppleHDA.kext.zip

CodecCommander.kext.zip

1. Do you mean dual booting? So install both Windows and Mac OS X? Or just prepare the USB Drive (with OS X Installation) from Windows?

 

2. I recommend you to disable Intel HD Graphics (see post #2 [I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG!]) and replace the BCM4313 with a AR9285 (see post #3)

 

3. Yes it's necessary, but my guide is easier than the other ones you find on this forum because is just for our notebooks.

 

4. The performance is good, as good as on Windows. If you disable Intel HD Graphics and replace the BCM4313 with a AR9285 you will have all working. Well, the VGA and HDMI don't work (they work on Windows however) and the webcam is a bit problematic (you have to open the application CameraControl before using it.

 

5. Because leaving enabled Intel HD Graphics will cause overheating (probably due to the ATI card still active) and very low performance (due to the modification to the drivers, or just because our hardware is unsupported).

 

6. It isn't necessary but it's highly recommended, otherwise WiFi won't work.

 

7. I don't think so. However I have to complete the guide since I hadn't too much free time.

Hi all. I have HP g62 B24ER. Can anyone, who successfully disabled intel hd, see in AIDA64 what vendor and model of your notebook display. It is important for successful disabling integrated video... For example, i have display AU Optronics B156XW02 V2, and if i disable intel hd, i don't have LED backlight.

Hi. Could you please send to me Device, Vendor, SubVendor and SubDevice your  Atheros AR9285 (580101-002)? These data can be seen through DPCIManager in the tab PCI List. 
Thanks! =)

 

 

Sure, but it's better to do that on Windows, because I edited the IDs to get the card working on OS X (through DSDT):

PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002B&SUBSYS_3040103C&REV_01
 
Vendor: 168C (Atheros)
Device:  002B
Subsystem Device:  3040
Subsystem Vendor: 103C (HP)
Rev:  01

did anyone try my AppleHDA ? mic works ! pls like if it works ! :P

You can download from the download section ! 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/230-applehda-for-alc270-with-working-mic1092-1093/

 

Tried it. Microphone works (and worked well with my AppleHDA too!). However it's a bit too loud i think.

 

 

screamble screen after installation ....desktop doesnt show....hp a30sy

Intel® HD Graphic(corei3)

 

 

You have to disable it (IF YOU HAVE AN ATI 5470M!) or look at this guide if you want to leave Intel HD Graphics enabled.
