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

[macap]

you need to leave the bios settings as they are

for your realtek wifi, then maybe this may help:

Thanks for the tip, I'll try and let you know.
So every time I have to use windows I have to reset the bios and set the appropriate values?

For other issues:

- The touchpad buttons
- Function keys for brightness
- The number of cores
- Is it possible to use the NVIDIA graphics card?
- Do the Post installation operations have to be performed, as described in post n.1?

may not need to change bios settings for windows

other issue... you need to zip and upload your EFI

This is the EFI folder used.
I only removed the values in in PlatformInfo-> Generic-> MLB, ROM, SystemSerialNumber and SistemUUID

I tried to set in the bios:
Intel Virtual technology (enabled), which i need in windows for vmware.
But I left BootMode: Legacy Support and BootPriority: UEFI First

It seems to start normally, obviously the problems listed above remain

The odd thing is that after resetting the bios values, starting macOS and then Windows, the serial number, product number and bios version values have not been altered.
as you can see from the photo I posted previously.

SSDT-UIAC.aml should be removed as you already have USBPorts.kext

Rename _OSI to XOSI (OS) should be enabled

probably only need:
HFSPlus.efi
OpenRuntime.efi
not sure why you have enabled all the others

MacBookPro11,1 is a better choice

I got it from post 653 without making any changes except PlatformInfo-> Generic MLB, ROM, SystemSerialNumber and SystemUUID

Since G50-70 and Z50-70 are similar.
Maybe Daigosx posted it as generic to be modified later to suit your needs.

Thanks, I'll try tomorrow and let you know

Good morning,
I made your changes, but the problems remain.
This is the EFI folder, please, could you check if I have done all the changes correctly?
After making the changes to the config.plist file I have to do something else, eg. clear nvram or other
Thanks in advance

Good evening @Feartech
I checked my EFI and noticed that I had not enabled Rename _OSI to XOSI (OS), as you indicated.
Now the brightness keys work.

Trackpad is now detected in the mac, but the two keys do not work.
I am attaching the new EFI

Took one of my old Lenovo Z50-70 laptops, dusted it off and gave this (re)install a shot @macap. Was running High Sierra, but figured it was time to give this a try so it's not a wasted system, BUT...

Ran into an odd issue where it perpetually gives IOUSBHostDevice messages and refuses to boot. Oddly it did boot once and got to and through installation and a couple hard reboots got it past that and into the installed system. But it seems I can no longer get it to boot at all. Out of desperation I went ahead and updated OC to 0.8.7 and updated kexts, but still getting same result with both Big Sur & Monterey:

Any thoughts on what might be going on here? Anyone have an up-to-date OC package that's working with Monterey especially?

Good evening guys, I have a Lenovo z50-70 i7 4510u, intel 4400hd video card and atheros 9565 wireless card. I would like to create my first hackintosh and I wanted to ask you if any of you could send me the most suitable and working EFI for this laptop.
Thank you very much
Johanne

Hi folks,

I've been having a fiddle about with my Z50-70 and finally managed to solve the lid/sleep conundrum. It's basically the same approach that always used to work - removing _PRW from the LID0 device. I don't really understand why recent attempts haven't worked but if you put the following in your ACPI patches section it should fix it. I'd rather it was an SSDT as it's a bit more elegant but I couldn't get it to work.

It works for me on Monterey with Opencore 0.8.3.

Hope it works for you!
