GitHub - Hasodikis/ThinkPad-460-OpenCore: Files and Scripts to install macOS Catalina on T460 with OpenCore Bootloader
Files and Scripts to install macOS Catalina on T460 with OpenCore Bootloader - Hasodikis/ThinkPad-460-OpenCore

This repo contains the files and scripts to install macOS on the Lenovo T460 family.
This set up is based on OpenCore 0.6.5 and it uses the Intel Wireless -AC 8260 that came with the laptop
Due to file size limitations I posted the Recourses folder seperately. Just paste it inside OC folder.
Fill in platfom info on config.plist

Major Update 5-2-2021
- Updated to OpenCore 0.6.6 (now on Big Sur 11.2)
- Cleaned minor config.plist errors
- Its suggested to use VoltageShift by loading it form the EFI with OpenCore (Use with caution you can mess up your system)
Major Update 11-6-2023 MACOS 13.4 VENTURA
This new release allows for the installation of MacOS Ventura 13.4 on a Thinkpad T460.This update was A PAIN IN THE A$$ to get it to work properly.
Some instructions:
- Apple keeps messing with the bluetooth. So for 13.4, a patch in config.plist is necessary. DO NOT UPDATE to 13.5 because it breaks bluetooth again. Search first.
- I switched back to the stock Intel WiFi card. If you have a Broadcom card amend EFI.
- Install Thinkpad assistant app for full keyboard F keys functionality.
- DO NOT UPDATE voodoo kexts to newer versions. It will break keyboard and trackpad.
- The fan seems to spin up more often than before. Haven' t played with VoltageShift yet.
