So, I updated my Z50-70 to Mojave Public Beta. To my surprise, everything worked as it worked on High Seirra.
The only thing that wasn't working on Mojave was AppleHDA.
Solution:
Everything's inside the zip.

For Mojave audio, we only need to change from using layout-id 3 to layout-id 2.
(layout-id 3 has been removed from Mojave due to the Mac models that used it being unsupported)
Also, layout-id 12 (another popular layout-id for hacks) has been removed.

Everyone with guides likely has work to do in this regard.

That is up to the OP. This is not my guide.

More than that. All code related to layout id will need changing (3->2).
You might read recent discussion in my y50 guide thread for details/clues.
 
So I’ve been quietly monitoring the changes in Mojave... I’m really busy now with my exams, but I’m going to finish in about 20 days and I plan to make the needed changes to support Mojave (at least initially).
 
Hi: Lenovo Z40-70
High Sierra
I5 4200U / 1.6 GHz
HD 4400
Kingston SSD 260GB

I´m Having a hard time here.

I have followed the guide line by line.
I´m trying it for over 14 hours straigth, and no success.

I´m confused on whitch kexts and plist, I shoud use for the HD4400 card.

I get messed up video on the installation screen, if I use either lenovo-x50.plist or the hd4200-hd440...plist.
So, I changed it for the invalid ig, and it went through, but got messed up video at "choose country" screen.

Also, if I use the generic clover config.plist, the installation runs fine and I´m able to boot directly from the SSD. But after installing clover to the SSD, the boot process get stuck and I can only boot using USB stick first to then choose the SSD.

Can anyone help me?

Thanx in advance.

I have a model of z70-80. You do not have one. Which model is the most similar? Can I use z50-70?
