<< Solved >> [macOS 10.15.0] Thinkpad X1 Extreme Hackintosh

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi

I'm trying to get my first hackintosh working. I've got X1 extreme gen1 with following specs

core i5 8400h
8gb ram
256gb nvme ssd

I've downloaded Catalina and created bootable usb. I can get it to boot but the install bombs out with about 2 minutes left. I've been reading the thread and I think to create/modify/extract my own dsdt file.

Wondering if anyone can provide some input
 
Try to boot from it(USB) a few times, and then boot from the HDD. It might just be restarting and you think its not working.
 
I tried to reboot several times after the failed install. Before the install clover sees the internal ssd but after the failed install the internal ssd doesnt appear on the clover boot menu.
 
I have an Apollo Twin MKII that works. The device has to be powered on either before macOS starts to load or before the laptop powers on. I haven't sat down to figure out which it is. Has to do with hot TB3 hot plug not working after the OS loads and the board. So if macOS is loaded and you turn on the device it won't recognize it.

Hi, curious, how did you get this Thunderbolt configuration working? I have an MSI GS65 with i7 8750h and Intel UHD 630 igpu hackintosh that I accomplished using @e12350 guide ...everything else is mostly working well on the hackintosh on os x 10.14.6, but for my Apollo Twin Duo MK II to work, I first have to boot into windows, have it recognize the Apollo and then restart into OSX. Do you also need to do that or from a shut down state, you plug in the Apollo, turn it on, and then boot up the laptop? I would love to be able to get it to work that way, without the windows step, on my laptop! I've tried applying the ioelectrify.kext from https://github.com/hackintosh-stuff/macOS-IOElectrify as per @e12350 recommendation, but it did not work. If you or anyone else has an answer or different solution, I would be very grateful :)

Attached is a copy of my efi in case its at all helpful

Thank you for your response. The P1 is the same laptop as your X1 extreme with xeon CPU and quadro GPU being the only different components. I managed to get it to work after 3 day on playing around with the bios and the config.plist files. (thank you for providing them in you post.) I got a duel boot windows 10 pro/Mac OS Mojave. I got USB to work and I am trying to get wifi working now. Did you have to replace the wifi card in you X1 extreme or did you add a kext to get it to work? Thanks again

I'll try to install on a Thinkpad P1 gen 2 with xeon. Can you help me ?
 
Hi there, are trackpad gestures working 100%? I mean, is it possible to do 2,3,4 finger gestures? How is it compared with a real mac? Hope someone can help me out, thanks in advance!
 
hi
I am not any expert but for weeks I was reading and configuring my x1 extreme gen1 i7 8850h 4k touch 32GB ram and I succeeded a lot but now I got to dead end and please help.
What doesn't work is touch screen, battery indicator doesn't work, and FaceTime camera opens and light is on but no picture and on both sides of camera red indicitors flashes. Also brightness buttons don't work but volume buttons do. That's what I found till now. sdcard works.
Done DSDT and everything but no help. Errrneist EFI works battery indicator but I get AE_NOT_FOUND error and wait for 30min and processor is on 80C all the time. Wifi I get from usb stick.
Can someone please help and look at my EFI folder and help.
thank you.

in your config.plist:
Code:
<key>Name</key>
            <string>DSDT.aml</string>

but you have no DSDT.aml in acpi/patched folder

but you do seem to have:
DSDT-patch.aml
DSDT-patched.aml
DSDT-patched071919.aml
 
in your config.plist:
Code:
<key>Name</key>
            <string>DSDT.aml</string>

but you have no DSDT.aml in acpi/patched folder

but you do seem to have:
DSDT-patch.aml
DSDT-patched.aml
DSDT-patched071919.aml

Thank you very much for your time.
I have put it in origin folder.
Now I also put it in patched but nothing changed.

because you don't have a DSDT.aml and you will probably need to patch DSDT for working battery
