[Guide] Lenovo IdeaPad U330/U430/U530 using Clover UEFI

[lolzakai]

RehabMan, I need help I got my U530 to work on Chimera boot-loader, but it doesn't have working sound iMessage, or bluetooth. Whenever I try to use Clover, I get to the Clover boot screen, but after I press enter, it just shows a grey screen, and it never goes anywhere past that. I was also wondering if you had a DSDT for the U530 already made, I tried to make a few myself, and they never did anything.

Request was not for a file listing of EFI/Clover folder.

Request was for actual folder. Compress as ZIP and attach.

Ok, sorry man ... here you are.

GenericUSBXHCI.kext should not be in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other. As is written in post #1, this kext is not needed with this laptop.

Exotic/rare CPU you have there... i5-4258U, with Iris graphics. Nice, but not seen here until now.

FakePCIID_HD4600_HD4400.kext is not needed. Remove it from /S/L/E.
FakeID is also not needed. Set config.plist/Devices/FakeID/IntelGFX=0. Note also FakeID injected by the graphics SSDT.

CPU PM SSDT from ssdtPRgen.sh may not be correct (rare CPU probably not tested). Remove EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched/SSDT.aml.

Also, please provide quality photo of entire screen with verbose boot. The image you provided is not large enough to be readable.

After making these changes, if you can boot, provide files requested post #1, "Problem Reporting".

Edit: I cleaned up patches/graphics.txt for you (moved experiments to graphics_experiment.txt). This allows you to control everything though config.plist (eg. get rid of the FakeID).

Hi RehabMan,

i erase all the files that you said, and modify the config.plist, but one question ... when you say "FakeID is also not needed", you say "FakePCIID.kext"? becouse i don't have any "FakeID.kext" (i didn't remove FakePCIID.kext)

I suppose the process bypass the X86PlatformPlugin trouble, but now (show ¡n verbose mode) go as far as first image, an then pass to second image and freeze

Thank you,
Heri

When I refer to FakeID, I'm referring to config.plist/FakeID/IntelGFX.

FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_HD4600_HD4400.kext is installed by install_downloads.sh to /S/L/E. If you followed the guide, you have FakePCIID_HD4600_HD4400.kext in /System/Library/Extensions. You need to remove it. Iris graphics do not need it and it will probably keep them from working.

Do not remove FakePCIID.kext. It is needed for WiFi.

Edit: I suspect that once you get rid of the FakeID, FakePCIID_HD4600_HD4400.kext will no longer load even if present as the ID will not match any of the existing IOKitPersonalities in the Info.plist for the kext. We'll know more when you manage to provide an ioreg.

Edit2: I have added a config_iris.plist which has the changes required for Iris graphics (so far, FakeID/IntelGFX=0).
