just wanted to weigh in - Lenovo T440, intel HD4400. same issue. After attempting to install security update 2019-003 on High Sierra, my laptop is unfathomably f***ed. can't boot the main drive - I get a kextcache error. can't boot the InstallR image to complete the update. Can't boot into...

@Ludacrisvp - I have a T440 as well. I've been trying to get the BIOS modded by one of the moderators over at bios-mods.com, but no matter what I do he keeps telling me that I have a bad BIOS dump. I've tried a TL866 programmer and two difference CH341 SPI programmers (the green one and then...

as long as the .asl files are there, I can diff them against mine. Kind of a PITA reverse engineering it that way, but I'm sure I can find the DSDT edits I'm looking for.

@Jameeble - I have the same laptop as you. I've pretty much just come to the conclusion that the 1000m and high sierra are a no-go. If you really need the nvidia card working you can roll back to 10.12. Otherwise, the hd3000 intel GPU works flawlessly with the correct SMBIOS. BTW, I saw you...

is there any hope of getting it working? It definitely worked better on 10.11

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 on 10.12.6. It has a Broadcom wifi/bluetooth combo card, BCM94352, this card https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JY6X9HM/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 . Wifi and bluetooth both work fine. iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime all work fine. I've never fully gotten handoff to...

quick update: I have it sorta working now, but it's not correct. WHAT I DID: 1) I made two edits to my DSDT.aml, replacing all instances of USBE with EH01 and all instances of USBE with EH02. 2) added USB-Inject-All.kext, FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/other/...

I'm running 10.12.6 at the moment, everything works right now except USB. I'm currently using GenericUSBXHCI.kext to get USB 3.0 functionality, but I'd like to actually fix both USB 2 and 3 correctly and not have to rely on GenericUSBXHCI.kext. I'm sure it's just a matter of renaming the ECHI...

I have a machine that I was using as a whitebox ESXi host that I'm trying to hackintosh now. it's an MSI H87-G43 motherboard with an i5-4670 (3.40GHz) quad core. I was able to install Sierra without any problems, just needed kexts for the onboard Realtec 1GB NIC, but other than that everything...

Yeah, turns out it's an smbios thing. To use the Intel side you have to use MacBookPro8,x and pretty much just about ANYTHING else for the Nvidia side. OK m using retina MacBook pro 10,1 smbios iirc. Also I'm using dsdt injection, so no clover Nvidia injection. And as for the DP port not...

That's what I'm after. It's got a core i7 and 32 GB of RAM, so battery life is never going to be great. I'd like to be able to use the nvidia GPU.

It is optimus, but I can select between Intel, nVidia or switchable in BIOS. And, booting with optimus enabled actually works, until I fire up something that would cause the nVidia GPU to kick in, ie; VMware Fusion. On my previous hack laptop (a Lenovo T410, also with Optimus) I was able to...

I'm trying to get the nVidia GPU (Quadro 1000M) working, which is supposed to be supported. I have a 99% working hackintosh Lenovo W520 (with the exception of USB 3 which is a no-go on 6 series chipset, and of course Nvidia GPU). I've patched my own DSDT to get battery status and Intel HD3000...

you are correct, I did use fakePCIID (did mention that I had to patch the graphics). As for PS2, of course that requires VoodooPS2 or otherwise, as do most 1GBEthernet. But that's immaterial. As far as everything working out of box or with DSDT patching, I was referring to sleep, function...

I have a Thinkpad T440 that I have running 10.11.4 flawlessly (except for wifi and bluetooth because I can't risk bricking the BIOS chip with a bad flash like what happened to my X220). Everything else works either out of the box or with DSDT edits, including power management, sleep...
