Lenovo T470's nVMe not detected

[riyasd]

Hello,

I have a Lenovo thinkpad T470 with 1366X768 resolution screen. I am trying to install Mojave following this guide and using exactly the same EFI folder from here :

https://github.com/okay/t470

But the NVME drive is not detected during the installation. I've tried to follow this guide (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/) but the issue is still there

Only the USB drive is detected. I have read something about patching IONVMeFamily.kext and tried to insert in the config.plist file and I have the same issue (Maybe I am doing it wrong)

Thanks for your help.

you have corrupted your config.plist:

                <string>IONVMeFamily Preferred Block Size 0x10 -&gt; 0x01 (c) Pike R. Alpha </string>

start with a clean config.plist from the laptop guide

Hi, thanks for your reply. Actually this one was the last config file that I've tried. The one I was trying before is attached here. With this file, it was working for other T470 owner's but not for me. Can you please tell me if there is anything wrong with this ?

Thanks

not correct at all, you really need to read the guide

Thanks for your reply. The guide is very well written but unfortunately It's too complicated for me to start from scratch. Unless I solve the issue with Nvme disk, I can't continue.

just use a proper config.plist

make sure you only have essential kexts in clover/kexts/other

read it a few times, it is not that complicated
