Lenovo W530: [SUCCESS] Yosemite Clover Installation

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi. Now learning more :)

I just testet to get PM to work. I used DPCI Manager to check what's in your tutorial.
P-States is always showing : P State 12

As i can see the battery goes down very fast, so i think there is no PowerManagement on my W530.

But in the Clover Partition there is a Patched AppleIntelCPU....kext

Can anyone (Rehabmen :mrgreen:) point me to the right direction, on getting this to work?

Thank you.

With Clover there is no need to install patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement. And EFI/Clover/kexts would be the wrong place to put it anyway (kexts that are already in /S/L/E cannot be injected via Clover).

Hi, pf course there is no need to install this kext. sometimes i write thinks i dont mean. I used clover configurator to enable p and c state. but in dpci manager it changes nothing, its only p state 12. also i have used me my prepatched dsdt.aml.

whats wrong? :)

No, you have to copy the EFI Folder on your USB if you boot from there, just overwrite the old EFI Folder. Thats what i do, but there is much more to do as you can see in my last Posts.

I have running now everthing expeckt Sleep.

@Rehebman (Pm is working now :)) SSDT creation is magic ;-)

But i have a question about sleep:

i already tryed everthing from this Post:

http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...-dsdt-patch-sleep-brightness-speedstep-4.html

but it seems to be not work coreckt.

If i go to sleep the Display go black and HDD is working about 5-10 Sec. Then the Powerled is slowly flashing. But is seems not to sleep. Because if i press the Mouse or Keyboard the login screen shows after just 1sec.

I added all the patches from the post. But i ran into an error to boot. couldnt figure out what it is ;o(

any ideas, please no mor links to tutorials ;-)

Thank you Rehebman

From your description sleep is working. Wake up from sleep is very fast.
 
I would just like to share with the community that I managed to get W530 running Yosemite 10.10 using Clover. I am attaching my EFI folder for anyone that would like to try to install it.

You must boot with the following flags:

-v kext-dev-mode=1

BIOS:
Enable only the Integrated Graphics (HD4000)
Disable CMS Support

What Works:

-Brightness: with Rehabman's kext /DSDT patching
-Battery: with Rehabman's kext / DSDT patching
-Bluetooth (had to swap the Bluetooth Module with one from a X220)
-Sound

What doesn't work:
-Wifi (W530 has a whitelist BIOS) and haven't found a compatible card. Anyone know of a compatible one? :confused:


Still working on:
-SSDT creation and power management.
-I will try to load the latest Nvidia Drivers for Yosemite since mini DisplayPort is most likely wired to the Nvidia card and thus must be enabled if you want video out.


Please let me know if anyone has any questions.
QUESTION (June 2017): Is there any way to enable discrete graphics at this point? I know it was the issue in the past, so I am wondering whether any progress has been made. Please kindly let me know.
