Hey thank you so much everything is working properly for my predator too 1060-144hz. You're a legend. But for some reason Bluetooth is not working. I can see the Bluetooth option and when I open it can't detect any device and is not discoverable by any other device even though it says it is discoverable.also the "turn Bluetooth off" button is greyed out. The Bluetooth address in system report is 00-00-00-00-00-00.Send Help.
I gave up, and deleted mac.. :( @RaviKavaiya did the same ahah... do this kind of things are just for fun, don't expect to have a fully function machine like a real macbook pro, some cases works and some others not :)
Hello
I try to prepare for installing Mojave on my y530 but after reading all posts I am a bit lost. You can tell me what options I should check when installing clover on usb (which kexts I need) and whether I should do anything else to start the installer correctly.

Overview One of the first challenges you'll face in installing OS X to your laptop will involve getting the OS X installer to boot from USB. This guide is for those wishing to use Clover (and in fact the only bootloader supported here). Both installing using Clover UEFI and Clover legacy are...

Installing Clover to USB
It is best to use a simple USB2 16GB drive for this purpose. If a USB2 stick doesn't work, try USB3 16GB. The ports which will be working without patching (post install process) is hardware dependent.
I personally use 3.1 16GB because the speed.
Clover and the OS X installer are placed on separate partitions on the USB. There are two options as is relates to USB partitioning:
Option 1: MBR with a FAT32 partition for Clover and a separate HFS+J partition for the OS X installer.
Option 2: GPT with a single HFS+J partition for the OS X installer (hidden EFI partition automatically created)
I recommend using MBR with two partitions as most computers can boot from it (even with UEFI), and it is convenient that the EFI partition will mount automatically when the USB is inserted.
Although you can use Disk Utility to partition your USB, this guide will use 'diskutil' in Terminal. Disk Utility in 10.11 cannot be used for MBR partitioning.
Before you can partition the USB, you must determine what the disk identifier is. With the USB plugged in to the computer, use 'diskutil list':
In Terminal:
Code:
diskutil list
In my case, it provides this output:
Code:
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *500.1 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS 10.10.x 80.0 GB disk0s2
3: Apple_HFS 10.11.gm1 80.0 GB disk0s3
4: Microsoft Basic Data Win10_TP 79.4 GB disk0s4
5: Apple_HFS 10.10.test 80.0 GB disk0s5
[B]/dev/disk1 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: *8.0 GB disk1[/B]
So I can see that the USB is at /dev/disk1. Be careful with diskutil as you can lose data without a mechanism for recovery if you repartition the wrong disk.
Option 1 (MBR, two partitions):
Code:
# repartition /dev/disk1 MBR, two partitions
# first partition, "CLOVER EFI" FAT32, 200MiB
# second partition, "install_osx", HFS+J, remainder
diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk1 2 MBR FAT32 "CLOVER EFI" 200Mi HFS+J "install_osx" R
The output of the operation looks like this:
Code:
Started partitioning on disk1
Unmounting disk
Creating the partition map
Waiting for the disks to reappear
Formatting disk1s1 as MS-DOS (FAT32) with name CLOVER EFI
512 bytes per physical sector

0: FDisk_partition_scheme *8.0 GB disk1
1: DOS_FAT_32 CLOVER EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS install_osx 7.8 GB disk1s2
Option 2 (GPT, one partition):
Code:
# repartition /dev/disk1 GPT, one partition
# EFI will be created automatically
# second partition, "install_osx", HFS+J, remainder
diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk1 1 GPT HFS+J "install_osx" R
The output of the operation looks like:
Code:

Initialized /dev/rdisk1s2 as a 7 GB case-insensitive HFS Plus volume with a 8192k journal

Note: If you're using Clover legacy, the USB should must be MBR.
Note: Some BIOS implementations require GPT, some require MBR (many allow both). If you can't get BIOS to recognize your USB for booting, try GPT instead of MBR.
The plist files in this guide require Clover v4658 or newer. For full functionality and best choice.
After obtaining the Clover installer, first task is to install to the USB "CLOVER EFI" partition.
For Clover UEFI, run the Clover Installer package:
- if using MBR, select the target of the install to "CLOVER EFI" using "Change Install Location"
- if using GPT, select the target of the install to "install_osx" using "Change Install Location"
- select "Customize" (the default is a legacy install -- we need to change it)
- check "Install for UEFI booting only", "Install Clover in the ESP" will automatically select
- check "BGM" from Themes (the config.plist files I provide use this theme)
- the defaults for Drivers64UEFI are recommended
- most systems will work without DataHubDxe-64.efi, but some may require it
Installing to the HDD/SSD after installation is very similar to installing to the USB, except that the install target will be your macOS/OS X system volume. Refer back to this section when you get to that stage.
Enter to BIOS
Press F2 when LEGION logo appear to enter to BIOS
Disable Intel Virtual Technology (VT-Intel)
Turn on option BOOT from USB or External Device
I RECOMMEND YOU have an external MOUSE and keyboard connected
AND ETHERNET connected, you won't have WIFI neither BLUETOOTH working, you have to replace the WIFI/BLUETOOTH card
Wifi and bluetooth (you have to change wifi card to BCM94352Z to enable this natively)
Boot FROM USB
Press F12 when LEGION logo appear to enter to BOOT SEQUENCE SELECT MENU
Select your USB "install_osx" to boot from it
then set up your mac
on finder follow this steps:
Install Clover on mac
Unmount USB “install_osx”
INSTALL CLOVER ON MAC
INSTALL CLOVER FOLDER INTO EFI PARTITION ON YOU MAC
Use EFI MOUNTER v3 to mount EFI PARTITION on your Mac https://www.tonymacx86.com/resources/efi-mounter-v3.280/
Copy, paste and replace EFI partition to the one that you downloaded from Github
And that’s all, Enjoy
To watch temps using HWMonitor app
Follow these steps
Download Clover Configurator
Download HWMonitor
Then do this
- Open clover configurator
- mount efi volume
- goto kext installer
- select other in version
- it'll list all kext in efi/clover/kext/other
- install latest lilu.kext and virtualsmc.kext and it'll prompt about plugins as well, select them and install.
- reboot
Start laptop. Press F2 to open BIOS settings. Then on settings screen,
First, press Fn+O key once.
Then, Save and Exit ( by pressing F10 and clicking Yes)
After that, the laptop will restart. Again press F2, now you will have Advanced Settings...
i cant link any Bluetooth devices, i don't know i the wifi/Bluetooth card is the problem or something with my EFI folder
I replaced my wifi card to BCM94352Z
