Read ACPI spec regarding _SI._SST.
For hotpatch example, look my at SSDT-PTSWAK.dsl, SSDT-RMCF (RMCF.SSTF option).

follow rehabman's laptop guide and use the tools/commands he recommends. no need for unibeast or multibeast as you need to customize your installer's clover and even more editing afterwards. Also fill your profile with you laptop specifications.

I confirm this laptop is faster than macbook pro 2016 touchbar

Thinkpad p50 is one of the most amazing laptop. With this topic I want to guide the installation of macOS on this machine and spark a little discussion about fixing the problems.

!!! PLEASE NOTE !!!
I am only documenting my way of getting macOS to work on this machine since there is no other guide yet. I am beginner who read few guides here on forums and not saying that my way is the best one . special thanx to RehabMan
!!! PLEASE NOTE !!!

You can find my updated collection of all necessary kexts and patches on my dedicated GitHub repo here:
push requests are welcomed
https://github.com/mohamedsharaf/lenovo-thinkpad-P50-osx

also clover is attached below in this post

My config:

• Lenovo Thinkpad P50
• Core i7-6700HQ
• 16GB 2133MHz DDR4(2 pieces under keyboard also tested with 64 giga works fine)
• Intel HD Graphics 530 , Nvidia quadro m1000m
• 500GB NVMe Samsung SSD 960 evo
• 500GB Western Digital Black sata
• 1×Thunderbolt 3, 4 USB 3.0, headset jack
• 1xHdmi , 1 DP(for monitor)
• Primary Windows 10 Pro / Secondary Sierra 10.12.6 latest

Working:
- Power Management (macbook pro 13.3 sppedshift cpu read Rehabman guide last method xcmp patch in clover below done)
- Full Graphics Acceleration
- NVMe SSD Storage
- Shutdown, Reboot
- Touchpad (works perfectly with different gestures)
- USB WIFI(I use USB Edimax EW-7811un)
- TrackPoint (I feel it makes jump) I will not work on it I use external mouse
- NME SSD with trim support (main boot)
- Brightness (work u need to add AppleBacklightInjector.kext to /Library/Extensions look at post install section )
- Sound AppleHDA Patched Realtech ac289sp4 through appleHDA Patcher (or through VoodoHDA manual switching bettwen headphone and speaker)
- Battery
- I message work
- sleep resume (around 1% for every 3 or 4 hours think its better than windows in that)
- external monitor through usb3 to dual display adapter (displaylink.com product)

Doesn't work:

- USB (rehab man said its not fine even I can attach and detach to USB ports Flash disks)
- External Monitor (HDMI , DisplayPort) will not work as it is dedicated to Nvidia
- Nvidia quadro m1000m(config_nv.plist card seen as 8 mega ram but works fine I will stick with intel in that)

- Webcam
- WiFi (I use USB Edimax EW-7811un)
- Bluetooth
- Card Reader
- Thunder USBc port

- Facetime no camera yet

Not Tested :


Preparation:

• Update your machine BIOS to latest version (1.43 Mine)
• Turn off Secure Boot in BIOS !

What you will need:

• 8 GB USB thumb drives (GUID method from RehabMan link below also Unibeast works fine)
• macOS machine to work with
• Read the link below you will be fine (just make the installer and replace with my clover folder and you will be fine)
• https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093

Don't forget to replace clover folder with below
or copy Kext and config.plist

install nothing more you need to do as every thing working through clover till now





I will try to update this post with fixes

Updated : always download this clover in post#1 other is just for fixing
- brightness now works thx to Rehabman post like charm
