[Guide] Lenovo Z50-70/Z40-70/G50-70/G40-70 using Clover UEFI

[the-braveknight]

Please note that the 'beta' branch changes were merged into the 'master' branch.
I could test those changes on one of my friend's Z50 machine and it appears to be working good so far.

Also note that ELAN kext support was dropped due to author's disregard to APSL license. Unfortunately, the author doesn't seem to be keen on updating and maintaining the driver and it appears to be having serious issues on Mojave.

Please test and let me know.

Updating to the latest version somehow left me with broken audio, battery indicator, and graphics..
To make sure that I download the latest from the repo, I deleted the lenovo.git folder and made a 'git clone' command again.
Unfortunately the issue is still the same.

Can you specify the issue (or maybe the links) of the problem? I'm not having any problems in my initial testing.

Here are my files below. Thank you.

Did you remember to update your config.plist.
Seems that the _UPC objects are not being renamed so make room for SSDT-G50.aml redefining them.

I checked my config.plist and indeed, there was no entry for the UPC rename.
I successfully updated my plist, yet the problem still persists after rebooting. (audio, graphics, and battery status)
I also tried to do the 'Update' steps mentioned in the guide, still the same problem.

The patch marked "Change Method(UPC,0,N) to XUPC" is not working for your DSDT.
Your DSDT uses Serialized, instead of NotSerialized:

                Device (HS01)
                {
                    Name (_ADR, One)  // _ADR: Address
                    Name (_STA, 0x0F)  // _STA: Status
                    Method (_UPC, 0, Serialized)  // _UPC: USB Port Capabilities

For Serialized, it would be:
Comment: Change Method(_UPC,0,S) to XUPC
Find: <5f555043 08>
Replace: <58555043 08>

This fixed the 3 issues I've had. Thank you very much!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll update the repo as soon as possible. I simply copied the Y720’s _UPC DSDT patch, didn’t know other DSDTs might use Serialized instead.

@KyleXYXD, can you provide Problem Reporting files? I just want to make sure everything is working correctly since I no longer have the laptop.
