Hi jsassu20,

I am having the almost same model, 20BV000DUS. I upgraded the BIOS to 1.37, and my WIFI card is Apple 94322 via an ngff adaptor. The system is 10.14.6 (18G103), the latest version on Mojave.

I can't not wake up the machine once it entered sleep. The power led is blinking, pressing keyboard or power button won't wake up the computer. The only way is to have a power recycle.

Any idea?

Can't find EFI fold,Where is the EFI File ？
I am fresh-man , help pls :)

Hi, I've tried .the newest release, the audio icon is gray at the beginning of the boot, And after a while, It will be normal.And, unfortunately, the plug problem is still there. English poor, Sorry! But, still thanks!

It was one ddr3l 1600 8G ram on my computer, while I bought one another ddr3L 1600 8G ram and added it on the computer but the Hackintosh couldn't boot.
It just shows the white apple logo and quickly restart when I select the option "boot macOS from Hackintosh HD"

Hello,

I'm trying to use this configuration on my T450 Device, but I get the following:

IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockSatate 3,

Do you have any idea what it might be? I thank you very much for your help.

Hi all ! I'm using this boot and so good. Except when plug AC Adapter Battery battery status not change , i google and found my devices have 2 battery and mac not support that. I see in static patching, there is a file .txt concerning to battery. Please show me !!!

Since the macOS 10.15 is out now, I am wondering whether this repo will continue to work on the newest version of macOS. It would be nice if anyone can report the usability. Thanks.

Hi, I have upgraded from release3.1 to the v4.1 and then upgraded Mojave to the Catalina, everything went quite smooth, hovewer till that time, laptop is not going to sleep when lid is closed. I have to manually go to the menu and click suspend. Any idea where to look? Thx

I'm running T450.

edit: I have tried set hibernationmode to the 0 via pmset, unfortunately with no change.

Good afternoon

I am using your configuration but I am getting the following error. I had to use the -f userkernelcache = 0 that arranges for the screen, something is appreciated. I am installing on T450 i5 ssd

I have a T460s and installed Catalina successfully,

but noticed that my laptop get really hot, more than it is in windows

Is it normal or did missed some configuration part

Thank you

Thanks for such a detailed documentation! I really appreciate the work you have done. I tried it on my T450s, It works charmingly overall, though some small issues. I found out the PS2 devices sometimes will be malfunctioned, but will likely recover after reboot. The following is the description of their behaviors:

• The TrackPoint: dragging and double click&scrolling works fine, but clicking not working until you move the mouse several times.
• The touchpad: not responding
• keyboard: works well so far
• USB mouse: works well so far

The only setting I have changed upon your setting file is the multiplier of the mouse, from 8 to 3, because I prefer this speed.
I understand you use a T440 pad, so could you point me to some possible causes and I will look into it? Do you think its suitable to raise an issue on the original repo of VoodooPS2kext?
Thanks for your time.

Has anybody managed to successfully activate hibernation?

tl;dr: My laptop may have hibernated briefly, when the battery ran out of power and forcibly entered hibernation. Upon connecting the power-cable I got a boot-splash and was loaded right back into macOS. I am still trying to reproduce this on a charged battery.

I am aware that hibernation is a tricky subject, and the general answer appears to be "do not even try".

I had one successful sleep during installation, then got stuck on a kernel panic whenever sleep was initiated (the trace-back showed a kernel panic in relation to the VoodooPS2Controller; I tried troubleshooting with rehabman/acidanthera & jpe230 kexts; no dice). I did end up removing all clover-related kexts installed to L/E/ for troubleshooting. To my surprise, loading kexts only from /Other re-enabled sleep and wake.

I have since then proceeded trying to enable hibernation on the X1C but I haven't found a combination of settings in pmset and clover configurator that seems to work properly, if at all.

pmset -a hibernatemode 25 is active, but it does not put the laptop into hibernation.
clover configurator has hibernation fixup, rtchibernateaware activated.

Oddly, when I checked what would happen when the battery completely drains, the laptop shut-down around 1% battery. I connected it to the charger and booted, got a boot-splash and soon after macOS with all windows re-opened, no crash report window, nothing. It appears as if it had successfully hibernated due to the battery running low on power, but I cannot reproduce it with a full battery, yet. I will look into repeating this, but somehow logging the process in order to have more than just my word for it.

I'd appreciate, if anyone else could share their own experience with hibernating the T450?

fyi, I am running jsassu20's build on a X1 Carbon 3. I had no major problems, but I have yet to look into DMVT and a few other things. That said, thanks a lot for sharing your guide and repository @jsassu20.

Cannot adjust brightness

As title says, I'm not able to boot into setup after installation. Im using the latest commit

I have a t450s with 4gb soldered ram and a 8gb ram stick, so 12gb ram in total... but Mac says I have 16gb, I understand the EFI is for t450 which has 2 ram slots, how can I change this?

Thanks so far

Hello, my t450s can be started normally after using your EFI, but the splash screen will appear after turning on hidpi. Occasionally, the sound card cannot be loaded normally when it is started, and there is a click sound when it is shut down. I feel that it is the click sound of the sound card. Is there a problem with my sound card?

The title explains it, so far when i connect with vga there is no output

Hey, an interesting issue that seems to have been present from day one for me. When I plugin headphones like beats or apple once i can see in sound settings that the computer detected something plugged in but there is no volume output, just constant his regardless of sound level.

The current files send my laptop on a boot loop after updating. Everything
was set up correctly and worked fairly well. I tried reinstalling the OS as well as, still same results.
The only difference between our machines is that I have i5-5300U. I attached the files that had a successful boot for me here. including tack pad working okay and battery percentage working. The only real issue was that headphone jack didn't work and the SD card.
I think this build was from april
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1O833wZXbLm01T4D6snUkXNWm9FAsDfV8?usp=sharing

After updating the lilu.kext and some other .kexts files I've accidentally replaced the RehabMan VodooPS2 kext with the acidanthera one.
Except the trackpad hardware buttons this seems to work much better for me, since all gestures like all three finger gestures does work and the scrolling behavior is much better.

Would you consider replacing the RehabMan VodooPS2.kext with the acidanthera one and if not, could you tell me where I need to start to get the hardware buttons to work?

hey! I'm here again! xd I have a problem right now and that is that after the EFI update to 3.0 the mac partition is not recognized. I thought it was some APFS driver problem but it doesn't work.

I'm trying previous versions of EFI but the partition doesn't appear. From windows with paragon the partition is accessible without problems. I'm running out of ideas.

Any idea will be greatly appreciated.

Is your dw1820a working properly? Do not shield the pins. Under WIN10, wifi and BT work normally. The MAC can recognize the network card but it cannot be driven. Mine is also CN-08KPF4.

Thanks your configuration macos is the best, i'm trying connect another screen but it don't work. Any one have idea please?

Hi everyone,

I manage to install Catalina 10.15.3 with the repo supplied by our bro, jsassu20.
Thanks bro.

However, i have a few issues.

1. USB accessory need power
   Whatever flash drive or portable HDD, I couldn't get them be workable.
   Non storage devices are working well.
   I have installed all Kexts provided.
   What is the problem and how to resolve this.

2. Siri not functioning correctly.
   When speaking, the siri does not capture what i have spoken but i still see the Siri responsive indicated moving.
   I even test the mic in the system preferences. It seem to be working well.
   Therefore, what is the problem?

3. T450 trackpad with 3 buttons
   I have install voodooPS2 kext v0.71
   The 3 physical buttons are not working.
   If i install voodooPS2 v0.73, the mouse cursor is not moving but the 3 buttons are working well.
   External Wireless mouse is working well only.
   So what is the problem here?

4. Battery indicator not appearing
   Checking it turn on, still not functioning.
   Please advise.

Guys, can you kindly help me on these 4 issues.

Does the T450s (smaller body) have enough space to replace the Intel Wifi with an Airport Card + NGFF Adapter as recommendend in your guide? Any first hand experience?

My T450S configuration:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz
8.0GB
Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500
Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB (500GB)
1、Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (3) I218-V
2、Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265
Realtek High Definition Audio alc292
LEN:a340 1920x1080
My T450S configuration:
Download and use your EFI installed moajve, which can now be booted. Currently:
The wired network card is easy to use, the sound card is easy to use with the speaker, and the earphone is all noise.
There is still no change in the wireless network card (the system is shielded when the system is installed).
No bcm94360csax Is it possible to use bcm94360CS?
Can sleep now can not wake up, is it necessary to redo dormant patch

I just installed the bcm4360 card and everything is working in Mojave but after booting in win 10 I noticed that the wifi is not working even after installing the provided drivers...

It just shows the notice The USB needs power when I plug in my USB3.0 hard drive
USB2.0 is fine

Fist I want to say in the laptop alone everything works correctly.

When I connect it to the Ultra Dock only power, Ethernet and USB ports work.
Would it be possible to make also the display outputs (DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI) work?
(They work on my T440 and under Linux on T450s)

If you don't have the dock and need some information about it, ill be more than happy to provide them.

Thank you in advance!

在安装的时候出现，一秒左右就卡在End RandomSeed ++++这里，不知道是什么原因？

Could I use this config for my T450S?

Hello,

To use your configuration, do I have to make any special settings ? I replaced my EFI partition with your 1.2 release but I get kernel panic. I'm not sure it can be, I got the following:

(I'm sorry about the quality, the error happens very fast and I almost didn't get it on video.)

Could I use this config for my T440?

My external USB-hard drive is formatted with exFat and should be supported by macOS. However, it doesn't appear. It isn't recognized in any way, it shows up nowhere. Could this be a ACPI-problem?
EDIT: It has to be said, that I use a T450s I5, so the problem isn't me not patching anything I should because I'm lazy or something.

I installed the Sierra wireless em7345 4G network card in t450s.
It can be displayed in USB, Ethernet card and network (as if the driver has been loaded).
I wonder if it can be used in Mac OS.
If you can, please tell me how to set it.

Hello,

I made everything working almost fine, but I have still problem with TrackPoint and backlight keys, they simply do not work for me now. Sadly, I can't find any issue so far. May I politely ask you for any hint where to look? Many thanks!

*I tried to look at VPS2 patch and voodoops2 kext, but I do not see any issue so far.

Hi,jsassu20,

Hello, this time my problem is this:

I'm testing the latest build available, and I have problems with the headphones and DisplayPort output, I don't know if any additional adjustments are required. So far, I've replaced the EFI partition with this build and that's it.

It's been a while since I've used the headphones and there has always been this bug, it happens that when you connect these, you hear static, but when you rest the laptop, and returns from rest detects the headphones and work well, as long as you do not disconnect them, in that case, you would have to put the equipment to rest again.

And not with respect to the output by DisplayPort, it happens that the screen becomes black, in the external monitor and in the laptop monitor, and then there is no way to return, you must force the restart.

I don't know if you have any clues to this. Thank you very much.

I have copy all the files from the repo to the CLOVER folder in USB Drive.

So im having this error message:

Hi @jsassu20 , first of all i want to thank you for all of the wonderful work that you have already done, you are awesome!.
Now onto my issue, I don't know if its only my issue or this is normal for ThinkPad T450 Hackintosh.
My System is T450, i5-5300U.
I have followed through your process of hackintosh of Mojave (3.1) -[https://github.com/jsassu20/Lenovo-ThinkPad-T450-macOS-Catalina/releases/tag/3.1] and copied your EFI folder. Everything that supposed to be working is working fine, just boot is taking quite some time. any solution for that? i have another laptop Lenovo Yoga Y10 and i made that into hackintosh too and its overall boot time is less then 30 secs.

Hello,

I have just tested release v1.6, I have seen following issues so far:

• LiluFriend is not loading due to DiskArbitrationFixup and SMCSuperIO are not part of the kext folder anymore - eg. No kexts found for these libraries: fish.goldfish64.DiskArbitrationFixup, ru.joedm.SMCSuperIO. Seems they are still part of LiluFriend.kext/Contents/Info.plist.

• X86PlatformPluginInjector not loading as well ??

• PowerNap option is gone. v1.4 was fine.

Hello, I'm experiencing troubles with SD Card reader.

• sometimes after wake from sleep, I have invisible SD, as not inserted.

• can't flash with etcher. always fail after a while. can't even flash raspbian lite. also tried with raspberry pi imager. always fail.

Am I alone? Also tried with OpenCore but same issues.
Do you know other kexts alternatives to sinetek-rtsx?

Hi,

The installer is working but unfortunately I can't proceed to install the OS, it says an internet connection is required, but my ethernet cable is definitely plugged in.

Could I potentially be missing a driver? I do believe that I have transferred the files correctly since it did launch the install utility, I just can't progress due to this lack of internet connectivity.

The ethernet cable is definitely plugged in and I have restarted the laptop a couple of times, to no avail. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Lewis

Hi @jsassu20,

first I want to thank you for this incredible useful repository. Works out of the box on my machine! The only question that is left on my side is what NGFF A/E adapter you used for the BCM94360CSAX card. I'm a little bit scared about the space constraints inside the laptop body. The one that seems to be ok is this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32860559726.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.72c43c00nhBSkA&mp=1. It would be very useful if you can give any advice or a link to the adapter what you've bought.

Thank's a bunch for all the work you've done!

It just shows the notice The USB needs power when I plug in my USB3.0 hard drive
USB2.0 is fine

Hey all,

is anyone experiencing same problem with HDCP error when watching purchased iTunes films? "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP" - basically screen is fine for few seconds than black with such error.

I think DRM should block watch it online, but after download I though it should be fine? Seems not? Any solution to this?

Hi,

Got everything to work flawlessly (even wifi and bluetooth) so thanks for everything so far. My last remaining issue is my batter percentage does not seem to work.

Any Idea how to fix that
