Battery status? about t490-macos HOT 20 CLOSED

If you're not using the latest BIOS and EC, then you should update and report back.

If your'e already on the latest BIOS and EC, then I'm not really sure. There's been a few reports of battery indicator not showing and I haven't been able to figure out why.

Here is my system bios ver. Is there anything else I need to add apart from the bat alm to config?

You don't have the latest version.
You can get it from here https://support.lenovo.com/fi/en/downloads/ds539061-bios-update-utility-bootable-cd-for-windows-10-64-bit-and-linux-thinkpad-t490-t590-p53s-p43s

Thank you, i will try this and report back. Would showing you my EFI tree also help you in diagnosing my issue?

Your EFI tree should look identical to the one in this repo, the only difference would be the serials in the config.plist file.

Assuming you're using my EFI (with your own serial numbers) as provided, your battery indicator should work but if it doesn't, that probably means your DSDT is different from mine, so you would need to make your own battery patch.

It was a combination of yours and another GitHub member but since she removed hers and I have no way of contacting her.

Here is mine: https://pastebin.com/We2R8tiU

I originally could not boot up recovery with yours, If I were to copy yours onto a USB and try to boot, would that work?

When I try to boot your OC files, boot hangs on apple logo and no idea why. I dont know how to enable verbose boot, but I can see OC creates a log. Here it is:

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using my exact EFI as-is (with your own serials) or do you have other stuff mixed in?

I have not edited anything except for config file to add battery aml

here is my file:

config.plist.zip

from t490-macos.

why are you using a different config? it's already provided here in this repo, all you have to do is replace the serials that are marked "XXX" under PlatformInfo-Generic.

I wasnt able to get your config to work, so i found the one i posted here.

Anyways, I updated a valid serial, UUID, ROM etc in your config, it boots further now but now kernel panics. See image.

Hello,

Just wondering if you have any idea or is my issue a lost cause?

You could try something similar to this: #36 (reply in thread)
