[Guide] Booting the OS X installer on LAPTOPS with Clover

Overview One of the first challenges you'll face in installing OS X to your laptop will involve getting the OS X installer to boot from USB. This guide is for those wishing to use Clover (and in fact the only bootloader supported here). Both installing using Clover UEFI and Clover legacy are...

This EFI profile works very well in Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4 I hope it will serve anyone who has the same computer that I own.

Hey @ragramonte , Thank you so much for sharing the efi folder. Might I know, what version of clover are you using? Also what is working and what is not working?

Hi @ragramonte.
Thanks for your EFI folder, I just got to work battery status, and most important, the keyboard.

Things I can't get to work for now are:
- Sound
- Elan Touchpad
- Brightness manipulation
- I noticed a downgrade in performance of the integrated GPU. That was going smoother with @Simon01 EFI folder.

To install Catalina I just followed the steps of V330-15IKB guide from @Sniki here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-lenovo-v330-15ikb-using-clover-uefi-hotpatch.265841/
But installation and system only booted sucessfully with @Simon01 EFI here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/lenovo-ideapad-330-15ikb-81de-need-help.279169/post-2110467


My laptop has Elan touchpad and no discrete graphics, only Intel HD 620.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi again @ragramonte.
Today I copied your EFI again and everything is working as expected! I think I have messed up with various efi configs.

For the record, @asterisx that's what's working:
- Integrated keyboard
- Elan touchpad (though there is a kind of "lag" every second -but it's better than nothing-, and you have to disable force touch because a physical click is recognised as force touch)
- Bluetooth
- Sound
- Media keys for sound and brightness
- iGPU acceleration
- Battery indicator

What's not working and never will be is the Intel Wi-Fi, but you can replace it or buy a working external dongle.

hi @daca11 !
I'm going to try and do the same: install Catalina on a Lenovo Ideapad 330-15IKB 81DE.
I hope everything will go smooth. thanks for your information!
