@Sniki Is there a reason why you don't use AppleALC for audio?

I think I had tried AppleALC before with this laptop without much success, and there were other issues I remember in regards to sleep. However that was years ago, maybe it's better now?
 
Just updated to 10.14.5, everything seems fine so far.

Thanks for the heads up. I tend to wait a few weeks for the community to decide if it's safe - both for hackintoshes specifically, and from the general Mac community since Apple has been known to put out some buggy updates.

EDIT: I also successfully updated last night - same procedures per usual.

Hi, after a successful install, I'm facing some problems booting in the system for the first time, long story short, it ends on a bootloop after a very few seconds of loading, in the verbose mode you can see "attempting system reboot". Honestly I dont know what to do. I'll share screens and EFI/Clover zip.
My system is a lenovo t440s, with modded bios, i7 4600u, intel hd graphics, 12gb of ram, 240gb intel ssd, broadcom wifi card and fhd touch screen.
edit. I can share also a video of the boot if its needed


Update 27/05:
I've gotten to a point: Playing with clover's option I've enabled "Inject EFI strings" from the PCI-related menu and no longer get a kernel panic/reboot loop. Now the white bar loads until the end and stays there. Sometimes the mouse pointer appears and can move it around, then disappears completely and the pc seems freezed. I'm currently investigating from verbose mode.

@Sniki and anyone else with this laptop: have you ever had any issues regarding USB power on this laptop? I'm experiencing issues connecting certain devices (particularly newer iPhone products, like the iPhone X and iPhone XS). The devices will reconnect over and over, and sometimes not be recognized at all.

I made a post over at the USB power injection thread asking about this issue specifically. I believe the power injection is working as intended, as I can see it in ioreg. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this, or if it's just a hardware limitation of this laptop.

please read the faq for proper hardware profile setup:

I updated my profile with the correct info.

Also, I played around with different USB settings yesterday, and only made things worse. I had tried routing all USB through the XHCI (usb 3.0) drivers and had it giving me the "power" issues. I also tried FakePCIID_XHCIMux to route the USB 2.0 devices on the USB 3.0 ports to EHCI - same results.

My best option for now is to stick with the original setup and deal with the disconnecting/reconnecting issues that happen intermittently unless someone else has any other ideas.

Hi, yesterday after a full day of following guides and reading instructions I successfully installed macOS 10.14.5 on my Thinkpad T440s. Everything (miniDP, Audio, USB, Screen, Webcam, Clickpad, Keyboard) I tested seemed to work fine and I was delighted. I am even typing this problem report with my macOS Thinkpad.

I utilised the guide on page 13 as a base and incorporated suggestions from this thread. I replaced ALC3232.kext with AppleALC.kext (layout-id 28) and used the latest Clover build. I didn't install the Broadcom drivers as I am using a USB Wifi adapter. Based on suggestions I also generated an invalid serial number.

However when I went on to install third-party software like Clover Configurator, IOReg, Firefox or Google Chrome I noticed major graphical artefacts in these applications and also around the macOS dock. I recorded the artefacts in Chrome, but QuickTime would not record the artefacts around the dock even though they were visible on screen during the recording. These artefacts are not appearing in the safari browser or any other software that came with macOS.
I can only describe the artefacts around the dock as tearing, colour glitches and changes in the dock size in the lower part of the screen.
I am able to avoid these artefacts if I change the screen resolution to 1600 x 900, but I am hoping for a solution that preserves my native resolution.

I noticed another minor issue when using Siri. Siri appears to output its own speech output to the internal microphone and I can only hear the initial 'beep' sound through the speakers and not the speech part. This is the only issue I encountered with sound output.

I am appending the problem reporting files as a zip archive and my personal records of the steps I took to reach my current setup to this post.

I doubt that it will have an effect in resolving any of your issues, but you do not need SMCHelper-64.efi in your EFI. It's worth a try though.
