|
||||
- **This guide is not for models with Haswell 4th gen CPU**
|
||||
- **The EFI folder and the patched ACPI were first created by [EchoEspirit](https://github.com/EchoEsprit/Hackintosh-Catalina-OpenCore-Lenovo-T450s-efi) and futher optimized by [i3p9](https://github.com/i3p9/Hackintosh-Catalina-OpenCore-Lenovo-T450s-efi). I tweaked a couple of things and fixed some errors that were happening on T450 + added Intel WiFi drivers from [Openintelwireless](https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless)**
|
||||
- **I will try my best to keep the repo updated with the latest kexts and Opencore version**
|
||||
- **This EFI works with Big Sur Public Release (11.x), Catalina and Mojave**
|
||||
- **This EFI is Configured with Big Sur in mind. If you are using it on Catalina or Mojave read the the whole guide to know where to make the necessary changes**

Once you have verifed that your machine boots properly without any issues as described in the "What Works section", proceed to do the following
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Disable Verbose mode (the black screen with logs on boot up)
|
||||
In config.plist, navigate to NVRAM -> Add -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> boot-args and delete only the '-v' argument
|
||||
In Config.plist, navigate to NVRAM -> Add -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> boot-args and delete the '-v' argument
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Disable AppleDebug and ApplePanic
|
||||
In the config.plist, naviaget to Misc -> Debug and change both AppleDebug and ApplePanic to False (NO)
|
||||
In the Config.plist, naviaget to Misc -> Debug and change both AppleDebug and ApplePanic to False (NO)
|
||||
|
||||
You can also disable the boot picker screen so that you boot straight to th Apple logo by setting ShowPicker under Misc -> Boot to False (NO)
|
||||
|
||||
Note: you can still see the boot picker with ShowPicker set to no/false by spamming Esc before the apple logo is displayed during boot.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Enable WiFi with the Intel card on Catalina and Mojave
|
||||
If you are on Catalina or Mojave, you can enable WiFi on the Intel card by navigating (in config.plist) to Kernel -> Add -> 20 and set Enabled to False/NO (Disabling Airportitlwm.kext) and in 21 set Enabled to True/YES (Enabling itlwm.kext). After enabling these and rebooting install Heliport App (included in Utilities).
|
||||
|
||||
Or you can use Airportitlwm.kext for Catalina from Intel WiFi Kexts folder and get native wifi on Catalina in the expense of loosing trackpad after wake from sleep.
|
||||
|
||||
**For those on Big Sur you can comfortably use the Airportitlwm.kext included as the trackpad issues after sleep do not happen on Big Sur.**
|
||||
**For those on Monterey & Big Sur you can comfortably use the Airportitlwm.kext included as the trackpad issues after sleep do not happen on Big Sur.**
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:**
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Airportitlwm.kext gives you native WiFi menu and enables location services, but often causes issues with the trackpad & trackpoint after waking from sleep (it doesn't work) on Catalina and Mojave (not Big Sur). A quick fix is to put the laptop to sleep again by closing the lid until the red sleep light starts to blink then waking the laptop again. Also it only happens when you put the laptop to sleep for a very long time (more than 2 or 3 hours). So for those who don't put their laptop to sleep for a very long time and just turn it off after use, this kext is ok to use.**
|
||||
|
||||
**2. The Airportitlwm.kext included in this EFI is only for Big Sur. For those in Catalina or Mojave you should download the corresponding Airportitlwm.kext from [Openintelwireless](https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless) or use the one in Intel WiFi Kexts Folder of this repo (Recommended) and replace the one in EFI -> Kexts.**
|
||||
**2. The Airportitlwm.kext included in this EFI is only for Big Sur. For those in Monterey download this [Kext](https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm/files/6613211/AirportItlwm-Monterey.kext.zip) and replace the one in EFI -> Kexts. For those in Catalina or Mojave you should download the corresponding Airportitlwm.kext from [Openintelwireless](https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless) or use the one in Intel WiFi Kexts Folder of this repo (Recommended) and replace the one in EFI -> Kexts.**
|
||||
Note: the Airportitlwm kext for macOS Monterey is very new and may have issues. Please report those issues [here](https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm/issues). Also the macOS Monterey kext provided above may be outdated at the the you are reading this so please check [here](https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/itlwm/releases) and check if there is a released stable kext for Monterey.
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Airportitlwm causes the bluetooth to be unstable and because so you may experience stutters or interruptions while using bluetooth headphones. To fix this you can turn off wifi and connect via ethernet or you can get 8x series cards to fix this or buy the recomended cards (DW1820A 00JT494 or Broadcom BCM94360CSAX)**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Add Device Properties for Serial number and other info
|
||||
Follow this [guide](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/iservices.html#generate-a-new-serial) to set up serial number and the accompanying info to get iServices
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to get wired sidecar working, in Config.plist change the string in Platforminfo > Generic> SystemProductName to "MacBook9,1" (note: this causes the battery to drain faster)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. If you are using a usb mouse with side buttons, you can spoof apple usb mouse by change the pid and vid in AnyAppleUSBMouse.kext/Info.plist and enable it in Config.plist.
