HP envy 14

  • Install Method: Snow Leopard 10.6.6i
  • Processor: Intel i5 580-M
  • Hard Drive: 500GB- 7200 RPM
  • Memory: 4GB - 1 DIMM (DDR3)
  • Graphics: ATI RADEON 5650
Link to download 10.6.2 and 10.6.6i: http://324160bc.linkbucks.com
Make sure you check the md5 so the file isin't corrupted

Not working - wifi, webcam, and sleep (it crash, to unfreeze it press again on the power button), i also had trouble with usb (just try USBfix), Graphic Card :(

How i installed it:
  • 1- Boot leohazard 10.6.6i and partitionate your HDD in 2 (the size doesn't matter as far as it's over 10 GB and satisfy your ) input this to boot the DVD:
-cpus=1 busratio=20   (don't be surprised if it take time to boot 
usually can take up to 10min max)
  • 2- One for 10.6.6i and the other one for Windows*/Mac OSX 10.6.2 (10.6.2 will be use to remove kext that cause 10.6.6 not to boot)
  • 3- Once it's done your ready to install 10.6.6
  • PACKAGE to select for 10.6.6:
*Chameleon_Boot_Loader: chose RC5 or RC4 (i prefer RC5 but it's up to 
you i don't think that it really matter)
    *Kernel: CHECK IT, it's for legacy
    *Drivers
          *Graphics: NONE (exotic doesn't work)
          *Sound: VoodooHDA_0.2.7.2
          *Network:
          *Lan: NForceLan & RTL81XX
          *WLAN: none of them worked for me
    *Laptop: VoodooPS2Trackpad
    *Chipset: I selected AHCIPortinjector & ATAPortinjector & 
JMicronATA
    *Sata_Pata: AHCISATAFix
    *Patches: 
        -DSDT_Patcher
        -NTFS (if you wish to be able to read/write on NTFS)
        -UUID
        -USBFix (you might need it)
    *(X11 if you plan to use it)
  • 4- Now reboot and eject 10.6.6i hazard DVD and insert 10.6.2 hazard (boot on it) (in order  to work delete kext that mess up with graphics)
  • 5- Install 10.6.2 on the empty partition
  • 6- ONLY INSTALL this (do not select any Bootloader you already have one)
* 10.6.2 update combo
        * Kernel: Legacy_Kernel_10.2.0 (others didin't worked for me)
        * Graphic_Drivers: NONE 
        * Audio: voodooHDA and AppleHDA 
        * Network: I put BCM5787 (ethernet works)
        * Laptop_Support: INSTALL VOODOOPS2 (or you will be stuck 
to: do you wish to transfer data menu)
        * System_Support: 
               -CMOS_RESET_Fix: Apple RTC
               -SATA_ATA_Fix: AHCI_SATA_Fix
               -SMBIOS Resolver
               -Fakesmc_v1.0
P.N each single time you want to boot osx 10.6.2 you will have to put (cpus=1 busratio=20 ) anyway you only need 10.6.2 to edit 10.6.6i files (refer to 10.6.2 section for what works or not)
  • 7- Once everything is setup, boot into 10.6.2 and select(navigate into it) the partition where you installed 10.6.6
  • 8-navigate to System\Library\Extensions and delete this stuff:
-AppleIntelHD (there might be 4-5 backup them if your not sure)
     -ATI5000Controller.kext (or something like that) 
     -Pasting ATI5000Controller.kext (from lion as been report to work
  • 9-Reboot, and your good to GO
  • 10-Select 10.6.6i, partition, before hiting enter, input this:
cpus=1 busratio=20 PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnable=yes
  • 11-Now if you wish you can wipe 10.6.2 and replace it with windows, or wipe it and extend your 10.6.6 space there so many options
This one is really from me :)
