[Guide] Lenovo ThinkPad T440S

[Cesah]

Hello, thanks for the guide! Everything is working fine except charger: it's not detected and battery is not charging when I connect it and detects only if I restart the system. I don't understand whether it's a hardware problem, or I made some mistake installing Mojave. Log files attached, Thanks again for your time

For those interested, I updated to 10.14.1 without issues.

Update to 10.14.1 using System Preferences->Software Update. When the laptop restarts, boot into the macOS installer option two times to update to 10.14.1. After that you can boot in normal macOS. You will lose audio - to fix this I did the following.

1) I rebuilt the kextcache
2) Downloaded the latest prebuilt .aml from @Sniki's repo and placed it in CLOVER/ACPI/Patched
3) Installed the alc fix using the instructions in the OP

Just did the update myself. You should only need to to rebuild kextcache to fix everything.

Thanks for being the pioneer on this update Fobos531 . I'm a bit confused by your instructions though. You installed the update from Software Update and as it was installing it restarted the machine? What do you mean by "boot into the macOS installer option two times". Do you mean we need to boot the USB Stick we created to install Mojave?
Thanks

There's no need to boot off of the physical install USB. When you initiate the update and the system automatically restarts, in Clover you need to select the "boot macOS installer" option. When it restarts again you need to select that option again to successfully perform the update. The third time you can boot normally (the drive you installed macOS on).

@Cobra, that's great to hear, so rebuilding the kextcache fixed the audio as well?

Yep, fixed audio output as well as screen brightness keys. I'm sure it fixes some other things too that I just didn't realize in my short test before building the cache. If you ran alc_fix before the update, it should also still be applied afterwards without any modifications.

I have updated from High Sierra to Mojave and it went well but after 10.14.1 update audio isn't working anymore (i can't see device). How to fix this? Everything else works great. I have tried:
- changing my config.plist with config.plist from BesnikRrustemu repo
- updating kexts
- updating SSDT from BesnikRrustemu repo

Use AppleALC as per FAQ:

- updating SSDT from BesnikRrustemu repo

First: my surname is Rrustemi not Rrustemu.
Second: read carefully the post about macOS Mojave completely, everything is covered there, you most propably didn't even read the Mojave post or not even the High Sierra Post #1 at all due to the fact that:
- You are not using my config.plist from the Github
- You are not using the ALC3232.kext uploaded into Github
- You are not using my SSDT-T440S.aml from the T440S Github.

No surprise it is not working.
Download the T440S repo as zip, use my config.plist, use my SSDT-T440S.aml, remove all kexts and install all the needed kexts listed on the Mojave Post, install the ALC3232.kext from my repo.

Rebuild caches with terminal:

sudo kextcache -i /

Reboot, you should have everything working.

Most of the active T440S users have pretty much everything working by using my files.

Just start over, read carefully and you should have everything working too.

Theres is no known issue so far on my guide & files aside:

- Dock (work in progress, will add ALC3232.kext support for Dock soon)
- Dock Video Output Connectors (will add framebuffer patches soon)
- SD Card Reader (kext still in development sort of) - semi working.

The first problem i noticed and stopped looking elsewhere: is that you are missing the important drivers from EFI/Clover/Drivers64UEFI

Download latest Rehabman version of clover and make sure to checkmark when you install:
Drivers64UEFI:
ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi
AppleImageLoader-64.efi
AptioMemoryFix-64.efi
DataHubDxe-64.efi
FSInject-64.efi
SCMHelper-64.efi
and add HFSPlus.efi

Remove apfs.efi as it is not needed:
ApfsDriverLoader-64.efi
AppleImageLoader-64.efi are the drivers that replaced apfs.efi.

Try to boot.

thanks for reply, I tried what you said and my computer repeatedly rebooted when it came to the step below the image
Clover_v2.4k_r4701 Rehabman lastest.
And this is all my config bios
