[Guide] Lenovo s440 W.I.P using Clover

[G.Shumway]

Hi there.
I just got Lenovo s440 2nd hand for silly price and it runs yosemite smoothly. Couldn't find any guide for this one all over the net. So here's one.
My specs in sig.

Overwiev
works:
-gfx
-touchpad
-audio (+/- on from keyboards as well)
-brightness ( backlight control works, i just have to map keys now. )
-battery stat. not fully working (used yoga s1 dsdt patch and its stuck on 97% charging)
-touchpad as per voodooPS2controller.kext (partial multitouch, double finger scroll etc.)
don't work:
-no wifi ( intel crap 7670 AzureWave AW-CE123H en route, hope it will work )-most probably more stuff i haven't found yet.
Installation a.k.a what i did
1. Set up usb install following - http://www.tonymacx86.com/hp-proboo...-install-yosemite-hp-laptops-clover-uefi.html
2. Go to

https://github.com/RehabMan/Lenovo-U430-Touch-DSDT-Patch

and download config.plist. On Usb loader you just made go to patch EFI>Clover and swap config plists. Next EFI>Clover>Kexts>Other and leave only 2 kexts VoodooPS2.kext and FakeSMC.kext
3. Ready to boot and install as per all other instructions ( added -v flag to boot flags for trouble shooting, had to go back to bios and turn off bluetooth at it was halting boot for some reason ). I went for GUID and Clover and updated to 10.10.3.
4. Kexts installation - I will attache them to this thread.
5. DSDT and SSDT patching http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-laptop-support/152573-guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.html - here typical fixes gfx0 to igpu, apllehda fix, haswell gfx, and many other. I suggest to read about it as i was following other threads blindly.
6. Thats it Guys, this is the point where I'm now. Still working on my install and reading RehabMan ( Thank You for your great work ) guides and all other for laptops with similar specs.

Added my dsdt dump from Clover and My patched dsdt and ssdt3 and 5 to attachments.

Hey RehabMan, i have full QE/CI and brightness slider in system pref. already. Tried running few games an all works, especially happy with Civ 5 (all smooth). As for key mapping to adjust brightness im reading now your u430 ( you did a paragraph about it there ) guide and try to comprehend it. Am a total newb if it comes to coding and my last hack was 10.5 on inspiron 1525 so a lot of homework to do yet. Again thank you and pokenguyen for great guides and tutorials, I really admire dedication of hackintosh scene.

ACPI key mapping for brightness keys is covered here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-...ching-dsdt-ssdt-laptop-backlight-control.html

Having issues with booting up to the install. Clover boots fine. bus error =10 apparently.
Looking online, using a usb 2.0 port solves this but as you know , the s440 doesn't have any native usb 2.0 ports. Disabled the controller on bios as well as bluetooth but still can't get to the installer.
Did you have any issues like this?

Post EFI/Clover folder. Boot verbose, show photo.

it was stuck in a recurring loop so taking a picture was hard. Decided to install mavericks instead and the guide worked. will try adding the kexts now . thanks

hi again. How did you manage to get the audio working? I'm having no luck with the applehda patch.
edit: fixed it with the voodoohda kext. keyboard and trackpad didn't work for one boot but everything is nicer now.

Also, there is a whitelist with the wifi. the broadcom card seems to be not included.

Hi guys,

wanted to ask if you were able to update to El Capitan? and more importantly if you managed to make the Wifi work. A yes would make me install it by the end of the week

Also a great thanks to RehabMan <-- been reading the linked post and that is some great work.

Greets and thanks.

I could buy the S440 for 350€.

Could anybody tell me if Sierra works?

How can I solve the wifi problem? Change wifi card? Azuretech?
