I bought the Lenovo 330S due to the need for a portable build and the many people who have recommended this model. And while certain youtube videos even gave links to the i3 model... I suspect they all actually used the i5 model. That said.
I have the Lenovo 330S-15 i3-8130
4GB soldered RAM + 4GB expansion RAM
512GB TeamGroup SSD (yes it is cheap, I don't need a fast drive with this one)
Intel UHD 620 Graphics
I have followed rehabmans general laptop build guide, and supplemented with dareposte's guide and files.
I used a sandisk glide 16GB USB
I formatted GPT
I used a current Catalina build to create the USB
SIP is disabled
I downloaded Clover 4920 as that is the version that was confirmed working by dareposte
I copied the drivers and kexts from dareposte
But I used Clover Configurator to inject new SN's and update the amount of RAM.
I have rebuilt this flash drive over a dozen times now.
Initially I was using Clover 5205 and got random freezes on loading.
For the past day, no matter what changes I make I get a Panic crash.
Please note... I have NEVER made it to the point of installing OSX
I literally got so frustrated at this not working that I went and did a clean install of Windows to prove to myself that the computer actually works (it does)
Now... please try and figure this one out.... I used the same flash drive that was crashing with a panic error... wiped it... made a windows installer on it.... installed windows... wiped it again... re-followed all the steps to make a Catalina installer.... and when I tried to boot... it immediately told me that the system (which had rebooted several times by now) had rebooted from a Panic error. How???? I manually wiped even the EFI on both the USB and the internal drive.
Needless to say... I need help and will upload whatever files or info I can that will help someone else help me.
Thank you
