[GUIDE] Lenovo T460/T470 macOS with Clover and OpenCore

mihu_yo · August 7, 2017

Can everybody confirm that dell DW1560 installed on t460 is working in windows too?did you have problems with white-list or something?

tluck · August 7, 2017

@mihu_yo - I used to use a BCM94352Z (DW 1560) and it worked for both macOS and Windows 10 - there is no wifi-whitelist on the T460. I don't remember if i had to download any drivers. but i have seen posts where others had your issue ...

Thankyou! I will give up on BCM94350ZAE and I will not hesitate buying the (DW1560) BCM94352Z.

mihu_yo · August 25, 2017

Is working perfectly with this dell card. I was greedy for 4..5 $ and I took the __50ZAE at first place...

Have you in mind to update the pack for High Sierra?I tested your pack with the last beta 6 update and the only unworking thing was the trackpad prefpane. Updating the voodoops2 was not solving the situation.

Thank you for your work!

tluck · August 25, 2017

I just updated the GitHub repo for T460 - of course I cannot test it

... but the same kexts in common that work on my T420 used to work on the T460

skoal2007 · September 11, 2017

i want to buy a T460 , but how can i know the memory is upgradable to 32GB, I heard some ppl said RAM is soldered on the board and cannot be upgraded for some model

tluck · September 11, 2017

i dont have my T460 anymore but I recall it having 2 slots - so either 2x8 or 2x16

skoal2007 · September 11, 2017

i dont have my T460 anymore but I recall it having 2 slots - so either 2x8 or 2x16

but ppl said one slot is soldered with 4gb in some model, so it can only be upgraded to 20gb at most

In my T460 is not soldered...

Thank you m1gue. Can you tell what model in your picture?

Hi,

I followed the installation guide and everything went well. Thanks for collecting all the kexts in one convenient package! However, I'm facing an issue with upgrading my WiFi to a working card.

I bought what is supposedly a DW1560 from AliExpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DW1560-BCM94352Z-NGFF-M-2-WiFi-WLAN-Bluetooth-4-0-06XRYC-802-11ac-up-to-867/1000003164006.html). When I boot with the WiFi fixes installed (FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext seems to make or break it), my 10.12.6 install freezes at a random point during the boot sequence. Sometimes it even gets to the login screen but then freezes there. If it freezes earlier in verbose mode, there is no visible indication for what happened (such as a kernel panic backtrace or something), it just stops scrolling. I'm very sure it has something to do with this card because only the combination with FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext AND the card installed in the slot are causing it to freeze.

Any idea as to what could be happening or how I would go about debugging further?

Thanks!

Leon

tluck · September 18, 2017

@Leon - do you have all these kexts in /Library/Extensions ?

BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext (v2.2.7) - RehabMan's kext - to load firmware for Broadcom
BrcmPatchRAM2.kext (v2.2.7) - based on RehabMan's kext, but modified to fix/change sleep/wake timings for T460.
FakePCIID.kext
Fake_Broadcom_WiFi.kext

RehabMan · September 18, 2017

BrcmPatchRAM2.kext (v2.2.7) - based on RehabMan's kext, but modified to fix/change sleep/wake timings for T460.

Do you need *all* of those IOSleep changes?

Are you using Android File Transfer or Google Chrome?

tluck · September 18, 2017

@RehabMan

- well i dont recall which IOSleep change(s) made the difference. so it could be some are not needed. I don't have a T460 anymore (or a box with that BRCM chip) - but the key issue IIRC was to solve wake from sleep. if the kext tried to load the FW too early upon wake, then it would end up in a limbo state - seems like a conflict between the WiFi part of the chip and the BT part of the chip. so injecting a delay fixed and conflicts etc.

- my browser is Google Chrome and/or Safari. why do you ask?

Please use process of elimination to determine which changes are actually needed.

Keep in mind that Chrome will hook the USB ports causing problems with USB (and BrcmPatchRAM) on wake from sleep.

Solution: disable WebUsb in Chrome settings.

azerty076 · September 19, 2017

Hello tluck.

I told you that I will test your new releases, I have done it from scratch with your last one.

Several points :

- I have KP from the beginning and I need to inject fake ID to go ahead. After the whole installation, I still have the KP :

- One thing which is not important, more aesthetic question, why I have this screen before clover screen :

- Problem with the creation of the custom AppleBackLightInjector (command sudo ./createAppleBacklightInjector.command) :

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks!

Leon Handreke · September 19, 2017

@Leon - do you have all these kexts in /Library/Extensions ?

BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext (v2.2.7) - RehabMan's kext - to load firmware for Broadcom

BrcmPatchRAM2.kext (v2.2.7) - based on RehabMan's kext, but modified to fix/change sleep/wake timings for T460.

FakePCIID.kext

Fake_Broadcom_WiFi.kext

I use Clover to inject all kexts from the ESP to keep modifications to the system to a minimum. I have

FakePCIID.kext

Fake_Broadcom_WiFi.kext

BrcmPatchRAM2.kext - I tried both your patched one and the original one from RehabMan

BrcmFirmwareData.kext - not Repo, as it does not work when injecting via Clover (according to the README at https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-BrcmPatchRAM)

Do you think that installing to /S/L/E might make a difference? I'm a bit surprised that I can't find any other reports of system freezes due to WiFi. I'm starting to think that maybe the card I bought is dodgy...

Leon

tluck · September 19, 2017

@Leon - well ok - most kexts will work with Clover injection. but some won't. did you try to put the kexts I provide in /Library/Extensions? does the card work in windows?

@azerty076

- i dont know why you KP - Lilu with AppleALC should patch the framebuffers and kexts.

- that text output is from the apfs driver loading - i don't know how to suppress it! but you need if your OS filesystem is APFS

- i don't think the Backlight script will work until you have the full graphics working - so ioreg can find AppleBacklightDisplay property.

you can test the program by running it this way:

copy to say /Temp

this part is the key - finds the LCD product number - which also found (swapped) in the EDID

so in this case 41011 (dec) => a033 (hex)

run this:

ioreg -n AppleBacklightDisplay | grep Product

azerty076 · September 19, 2017

You're right for the script...I was certainly using a fake id...

For the KP, I don't know why. It's strange...

And for the APFS message, I'm still under Sierra so I don't not use the new format. But as I said it's just an aesthetic point.

But still I don't understand the problem with KP...I use your folder exactly as it is.

@Leon - well ok - most kexts will work with Clover injection. but some won't. did you try to put the kexts I provide in /Library/Extensions? does the card work in windows?

@azerty076

azerty076 · September 20, 2017

can you try again?

- i updated the bundle with AppleALC to match Lilu - v1.2. it may not have been working!

Hello,

I tried yesterday, with several usb keys, no chance. I don't know what's wrong...

Is there a way to analyse that?

tluck · September 20, 2017

sorry reposted the bundle one more time. I had compiled Lilu with 10.13 SDK so was not working on Sierra. But now it should work for Sierra and High Sierra as I recompiled Lilu with the 10.12 SDK.

Release v2017.09.19 on GitHub
Updated to Clover r4212
Updated Lilu and AppleALC kexts to v1.2 (for Sierra and High Sierra)
Updated USBInjectAll kext

well maybe try removing SSDT-6x.aml and rerun.

Thanks, works I also had to remove SSDT-5x and 12.aml. BT now find devices!!!!

To understand it, the error obtained "AE_ALREADY_EXISTS" means that it is not necessary that SSDT??

Others problems here:

When I use mini-displayport and wake from sleep display the display have refresh problems and I have reboot laptop to solve it. (test with 2 different monitors)
Also from sleep display, in some cases keyboard seems disabled and not responding... but if I press 2 or more times 'Fn' key then keyboard going on.

Thanks a lot
