# Lenovo Thinkpad T450 & T450s Hackintosh Guide for Catalina with Opencore
|
|
This repo contains the installation guide and EFI files required to get a perfectly functional Catalina 10.15.7 hackintosh on your T450 or T450s since they share the same hardware. Everything is stable and functional as described in this Readme.
|
|
|
|
## A few worthy mentions about this repo:**
|
|
|
|
- **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 Beta 9 but compatibility with future versions is not guaranteed until i update the kexts and Opencore version that will support the latest version of Big Sur**

# What works
|
|
|
|
- Sleep / Wake
|
|
- Wifi and Bluetooth (Built-in Intel 7265 or 7260 cards with Heliport + itlwm.kext) **Airportitlwm.kext is not recommended, it causes issues with Trackpad after wake from sleep**
|
|
- AirPort Extreme (Broadcom BCM94360CSAX & NGFF A/E Adapter) **Recommended Upgrade to get native WiFi & Bluetooth**
|
|
- Handoff, Continuity, AirDrop
|
|
- iMessage, FaceTime, App Store, iTunes Store (Change Config.plist -> PlatformInfo -> Generic -> MLB and SystemSerialNumber)
|
|
- Ethernet
|
|
- Onboard audio (Use alc_fix to fix unworking jack after replug )
|
|
- USB 2.0 / USB 3.0
|
|
- Dual Batteries
|
|
- Touchpad
|
|
- Trackpoint
|
|
- miniDP
|
|
- SD Card Reader (Thanks to @willmav5000)
|
|
- Use [one-key-hidpi](https://github.com/xzhih/one-key-hidpi) to enable HiDPI
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
# What doesn't work
|
|
|
|
- VGA
|
|
- Sidecar (Wired Sidecar works but only in Macbook9,1 SMBIOS, which has bad battery life, you can choose what you want)
|
|
- With the IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext and itlwm.kext enabled Bluetooth headphones only work when you are not connected to any wifi network or turn off wifi. This is a known issue with 7265 and 7260 cards. You can get 8x series cards to fix this or buy the recomended cards (DW1820A 00JT494 or Broadcom BCM94360CSAX)
|
|
|
|
## Note: If you need to edit config.plist, don't use OpenCore configurator or Clover configurator, use PlistEdit pro (Included in Utilities) or Xcode.
