[Guide] Lenovo ThinkPad L440

Status
Not open for further replies.
hi guys. I have problem on installing this high Sierra on my L440.
My L440 does not contain any bios mod or hardware mod. It is the default . I use wireless adapter for wireless. Rest of my config is shown in my profile

Problem.
1. Audio is not working. 0 sound
2. There is gfx glitch when opening some application like chess and others. I have attached images to show it

Below are the error files

"Problem Reporting" files are incomplete.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/
Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.
 
patchmatic, IORegistryExplorer and clover files are already attached. what is missing?

Missing:
- misc/preboot.log
- ACPI/origin/*
- kextcache output

Which is why you should have used the gen_debug.sh script as requested.

attached my newly updated file

Problems/suggestions:
- enabling TRIM with APFS is usually a mistake; disable TRIM or install on HFS+J
- USB WiFI not recommended
- try without Shiki.kext
- try with AptioMemoryFix.efi instead of OsxAptioFix*.efi
- your Clover/kexts/Other is a mess (you should NOT have files that are not kexts)
- do EC reset
- MacBookAir6,2 instead of MacBookPro11,1 might be something to try
- kexts installed incorrectly (as per FAQ, kexts are installed to /L/E, not /S/L/E on 10.11 and later)
- for audio, make sure you boot without caches, rebuild cache, reboot

this is weird. I followed ts post "Install kexts into HDD/SSD (use your favorite kext installer,i personally use Kext Wizard) into System/Library/Extensions or /Library/Extensions , the choice is yours."

on the config.plist the trim is disabled

I also did sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u / and sudo kextcache -I /. Basically I rebooted multiple times and it still does not work.

For usb wifi, I am not going to change the wireless card anytime soon. I am not going to disassemble the laptop and flash the whitelisted bios.

Must use boot without caches.
It is available in my version of Clover.

Your call.
USB WiFi is known to cause many problems.
 
I have updated with new problem reporting files as attached

this time I moved kext back to /Library/Extensions.

same problem. audio not working and gfx is still glitching
did try without Shiki.kext (removed, sudo kextcache -I / and reboot, no diff gfx still glitching, added them back afterwards)
did ec restart
