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

You need file in ACPI folder - SSDT-G50.aml - the battery and trackpad won't work without it.
No extra ApplePS2Controller needed.
Yes, I have your SSDT file in ACPI folder and battery working great, but trackpad is dead. Do we need some extra kexts in the /Library/Extensions folder as well?

hmmm... strange.

Since we have almost identical laptop - it has to work. If it doesn't work then the trackpad is different .... your is G50-30?

Hi Mikorist,
yesterday I tried all day to get Catalina working through Opencore but ended up with kernel panic with no explanation on internet.

Can you give me your EFI to see the differences with mine? Thanks
 
Do not worry. I will have OpenCore for the G50-70 soon.

I just don't know how to get the Battery to work .... Hotpatch don't work. This will work for the installation as well.

I don't see any major acceleration here. If I look at the difference in booting OpenCore vs Clover. Both can be accelerated further.

The battery percentage is not working for me. Also light sensor. The rest works.

Even this way - it doesn't really matter if it's separated or together - the battery patch doesn't work in OpenCore

I did it. G50-70 OpenCore Full....First I want to thank everyone here.

I especially want to thank @the-braveknight - without him I would not succeed in this, also RehabMan, @Feartech and acidanthera with his guidance from here



After all this has been studied and learned, Clover looks like an easy pie. No kidding. :)

What works:

Special function keys working, trakpad gestures(all listed in MacOS) , HDMI video/audio digital out works, speakers working, Headphones working, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB2/USB3, built-in mic and camera, power managment, battery status, graphics including OpenCL, Ethernet, Mac App Store Working.
