Official Envy 15 4830 Driver thread.

@kramerz: i noticed the word "higher", that tweak is only for users with full HD display, it adds extra smaller resolution for gaming (720p & 900p). I am assuming you on 1366x768 screen ? And for the mobo swap, it's simple just pretty much remove and replace and if lucky you can boot back to Windows 7 successfully without a hiccup

 

WOW. This worked. After a year of messing with the drivers and trying to get them to work, this worked flawlessly! I think I love you.

 

Hey guys
UPDATE 12: ATI Catalyst 11.12 WHQL
=> Build info:
DriverVer=11/09/2011, 8.920.0.0000
8.92-111109a-129966C-ATI

 

Weird.. when I try the normal process on this driver, I don't see the '4830 series, this driver is unsigned' option...

Anybody else seeing something odd?

What am I missing?

 

but do you get it to work ?

 

theres a problem ... i cant see the 4830 unsigned driver on the zip package its the same file that provides amd
11.12whql zip file

 

No... something's amiss with the 11.12 pair. It doesn't work. BSOD.. 11.11 works fine.

edit: The inf in the 11.12 zip file needs to be modified to work as the old ones did. 'Find the NTamd64.6.1 section and delete it. (e.g. leaving just the NTamd64.6.0 part).

(Found this comparing old inf's to new ones.)

Then it works.

 

Sorry I must be missing ><. I haven't been on 4830 so can't really test it. Bfaber, if you can, pm me the working inf. I ll reupload
Thanks

 

Sent.. Thanks as always

btf

 

Got it, thanks bfaber

 

ive tried everything (uninstalled everything, reinstalled latest driver, test mode downloaded new driver, restart code f'n 52) and have it installed correctly but code 52 still comes up even in test mode and with Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider 1.3b. When i install it, it just asks to restart but when i do it wont work. If 5830 ati drivers are supposed to run without problem how come mine is messing up? HELP T_T

 

Petdoc, which GPU do you have ? If it's 5830, you don't need to follow my thread, just go download the driver directly from ATI or guru3d an install normally

 

11.12 doesn't contain optimizations of 11.11c
check this links and can you support us wild with the inf file thanks bro for your effort even without 4830 GPU

best regards

 

Chris, just upload the inf somewhere, and pm me. Meanwhile I ll post a preview driver up.

edit: check out new prev drivers,since you play games I think it gives better performance than those are current provided by ati and the 12.1 preview in the link you showed.

I started to stop posting up preview drivers because every 2-3 days, there is always a new one, and some of them are not optimized better than the WHQL one. But just let me know which preview you want next time. And I do look for the best preview driver to post (update 13 !)

 

UPDATE 13: ATI Catalyst 12.1 Preview+OpenCL 1.2 Preview => Build info:
DriverVer=12/16/2011, 8.93.10
8.93.10-111216a-130508E

 

I did download it from ati but still get code 52. I do have 5830....

 

What exactly is code 52, what does it say ? Have you tried uninstall everything (using ATIUninstaller.. and Driver Sweeper in safe mode) then install from stock HP driver, then driver of your choice ?

 

Code 52 is when Microsoft blocks an unsigned program. I basically followed the 4830 driver instructions. I figured out how to get past code 52 by disabling the signature enforcement feature on the advanced boot options but when I ran a game it crashes or refuses to start. I will retry with your instructions, I hope ccleaner is ok to use to clean the drives. On a seperate note, is there a virus that can prevent me from updating my drivers? Thanks

 

You don't need to do any of this. Start windows as normal and remove any programs/ tweaks that you have done as a result of reading this thread. Download the mobility drivers direct from ATI and install as is.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO MODIFY THE DRIVERS THAT YOU DOWNLOAD FROM ATI - THAT PART IS FOR HD4830 USERS ONLY

That should get them working for you

 

Hi I'm running a fresh installation of Windows 7, and I'm just want to check I've understood the correct procedure before trying to install the drivers.

- install HP ATI Mobility HD4830 8.712 Drivers (sp48427) - ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp48001-48500/sp48247.exe (as mentioned in post #42)

- restart computer

- run amd_catalyst_11.11c_windows_vista_7 - AMD Catalyst 11.11C "Performance Driver" (8.911.1 November 30) - Guru3D.com Forums
through the extraction but don't install

- download ATI Catalyst 11.11c (Performance) WHQL.zip

- Follow instructions found in folder

 

That's correct Kale, report back if you have problem

 

Thank you my good sir! By being able to update my antiquated HP provided drivers for the first time without a BSOD on 1st reboot, you've breathed new life into my ENVY!

 

Haha welcome to NBR and you're welcome. It's more powerful now I suppose

 

Hi,I have installed HP Catalyst 10.3 (8.712) and then replace "CH130508.inf" in
X:\ATI\Support\xxxxxxxx\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF.Then Install via control panel>device manager>display adapters...
Right click on ATI Mobility Radeon HD4830 Series and select "update drivers'
select browse my computer for driver software
select 'let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
select 'have disk'
select 'browse'
then browse to the location of the modded inf files (default location is
X:\ATI\Support\xxxxxx\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF
and select CH130508,click next and suddenly this message appears

I am using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Service pack 1.

 

You need to install 8.712 first. Then download the new driver package in the link I provided. Then download the correct zip and follow from there. You can't replace the file in the zip into the the 8.712 folder.
Hope that will help you

 

Yes i have done this,i install 8.712 first and then replace the modded file into the new driver package and not the 8.712 folder but problem remains

 

Hey! seems to be working! I'll try running some high-graphics later on for confirmation.
Dude, you're awesome! I will no longer spend nights dreaming of ripping Hp's intestines out with a fork.

 

@kale: your welcome
@luis: which windows are you on

 

I am using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Service pack 1 and laptop Hp Envy 15 first generation uk version.

 

have you tried the 11.12 driver ? If not , try again from the beginning, fresh with HP's. If it still doesn't work PM me either the .inf file name C7xxxx of the driver you want (11.12 or the preview one)
p.s : 500th post !

 

No doesn't work.

 

Ok i Pm you the inf for OpenCL1.2-Static-Cplus-preview-drivers-Windows.

 

Because i don't have pm privileges,i will send you this link
C7130508.inf - 181.7 KB

 

Try this luis
Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

 

ATI Catalyst 12.1 Preview + OpenCL 1.2 doesn't work for me either - same specs and problem as luis: Win7 x64, 1st Gen Envy, 4830, 11.11c performance worked for me.

New .inf's on this page also didn't help. Same problem.

Do i choose the CHXXXX or the CXXXXX inf? in the driver package on the first page it is a CHXXXXX.inf and on this page your supplying a CXXXXX.inf?

Trying 11.12 now

 

UPDATE 14: ATI Catalyst 8.94 Dec 20th Preview
=> Build info:
DriverVer=12/20/2011, 8.940.0.0000
8.94-111220a-130611E-ATI

 

11.11c its the best for now 12.1 seems to have all the packcage but the inf file doesnt work trying 8.94 now

 

Most of the preview drivers I get my hands on have very different "lines" in there. When I try modify the usual way with the WHQL drivers, some work and some don't... But yeah if you play 2011 games (Bf3, skyrim,etc), you can simply put atioglxx something .dll (of the driver you want) in the game folder. That will work just fine

 

Hi guys,

Been trying to get anything better than 8.712.0.0 running but everytime (with any modded version) i try to install it stops with "System cannot find the file specified" message and driver is unchanged.

Steps taken:
uninstalled ATI catalyst and drivers
ran CCleaner
installed HP drivers (sp48247.exe)
got the ATI Catalyst 8.94 Dec 20th
updated driver in device man. using "have disk" going to ATI Catalyst 8.94 Dec 20th unzip location.

update doesnt go through and ends with above mentioned message.


where did i go wrong?

 

hey Tayleule, that error means the inf file (driver file) contains a different directory link to the driver package. I think you did not replace the correct modded inf file in the correct driver package ?

 

Ok i installed this driver ATI Catalyst 8.94 Dec 20th Preview and is working now!!!
Thanks.

 

Great to hear

 

yeah it works but there's a problem go to catalyst control center and check if all options are available power options?? game???

 

That's might be because the preview driver doesnt have CCC, you can update to previous driver with CCC then just update the driver only

 

All options are available.

 

yeah but after i restart that options dissapears
best regards

 

Hey there again; all's well running the non - signed updated driver as far as performance goes.
Except, now my catalyst control center cannot detect multiple monitors..... more specifically, connecting an external monitor works but catalyst control center does not detect any displays, including the one built into the laptop. This would be okay but I happen to use the overscan feature in catalyst to close the otherwise default letterboxing on the external (it's 1080 as well) which is now a blurry mess as a result.

~I installed the unsigned drivers via hardware manager in windows. I have a feeling my catalyst control center is out of date but I don't know where/ how to update the control center. I'm currently running 2010.0302.2233.40412. Please help.

 

if you only installed the driver. You can run the setup and install everything else beside the driver (untick it).

 

Worked! Thanks! +rep where it's deserved =D

 

Hi everyone, I have been following this thread page by page.
Forgive me for my n00bish talk,
I have a HP Envy 15 1060ea, so it is a 4830.
On start-up there is either a blue screen or it restarts, very rarely it continues to windows log in...
I am really confused any help will be appreciated.
Kudos on the thread.
