[Guide] Lenovo Z50-70/Z40-70/G50-70/G40-70 using Clover UEFI

[Superpero]

Use RehabMan's Clover fork. Or boot with '-f' boot-arg.

In your guide you pointed us to RehabMans guide where he writes:

The plist files in this guide require Clover v3330 or newer.

Download the Clover installer. Current builds are available on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/

Personally, I use my own build/fork of Clover: https://github.com/RehabMan/Clover

I had a 50-50 chance.

@RehabMan and @the-braveknight

Thanks, you've got me spinning like I'm on a carousel.
So, I'll change the Clover version, delete and pull repo again and start from scratch.

I'll post result when done.

Hello people,

Seems to me that I messed up trying to fix things up while working. Now that I'm at home, relaxed, I could concentrate.
@the-braveknight
I've done it from scratch, every thing was good (nVidia enabled, ACPI patched, backlight control) but audio was not working.

Then I've tried @RehabMan 's fix:

Correct procedure:
- boot without caches (press space bar in Clover to access the option)
- rebuild cache (sudo kextcache -i /)
- reboot

Now I've working hack.
Thanks to all, season's greetings.

Hello, after 3 days i finished a clean install of high Sierra on my Z50-70 with some Basic kext on the clover Stick i Can Use the Keyboard, touchpad and LAN. But after the "Post Installation" the Keyboard and trackpad dont work. Now I copyed the working VoodooPS2Controller.kext to EFI/CLOVER/KEXT/OTHER but no change.. I thing the "Post Installation" installed the ELAN.kext??? How can I change this in the .../OTHER is no ELAN.kext to delete?
During the post installation I had a lot of this:
Kext with invalid signatured (-67062) allowed: <OSKext 0x7fd90a842890 [0x7fff8f24c5b0]> { URL = "USBInjectAll.kext/ -- file:///Library/Extensions/", ID = "com.rehabman.driver.USBInjectAll" }

Is this may be the Problem? How can I fix it. I search the hole day, but I dont found a soulution...

Thank you for your great work!! And a happy new year!

Follow guide in post #1. If you have any problem, post "Problem Reporting" files mentioned in post #1, and the FAQ.

Note: The post installation scripts only install Elan kext (ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext) if your trackpad is not Synaptics. If it is, then VoodooPS2Controller.kext is automatically installed.

Note: The guide does not suggest to install any kexts to EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other. Instead, they're automatically installed to system drive (to /Library/Extensions) by the scripts. You should read the guide in post #1 carefully.

Note: You should use the tool linked in the FAQ to automatically generate problem reporting files.

Boot from the USB drive you used for the the installation, then choose your macOS drive. Or use Remote Desktop to connect to your machine.
