I just finished installing 10.12. I just
Thinkpad Carbon X1 (3rd Gen)
X1 Carbon Specs:
CPU: Intel Core I7-5600U
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 5500 @ 2560x1440
Intro:
This guide is for the 2015 (3rd generation) X1 Carbon. More specifically, it is for the 20BS model with the I7-5600U processor and WQHD (2560x1440, touch) display.
STEP:
1. Set BIOS as the guide. (Note: My bios version is 1.16. I didn't change DVMT since my screen is WQHD and the bios does not have 96M option. )
2. Install 10.12. You can use the attached Clover but change the config.plist with a wrong ig-platform-id.
3. Use the attached EFI file to boot the system.
4. If the screen is black after apple logo, press Ctrl+Shift+insert to power off the screen. Then press any other key, the screen would come back.
It seems like Sierra works quite stable in my machine. Backlight/sleep/QECI all work well.
Not works:
1. Intel Wifi, I brought a BCM94360CS2 and will test if it works.
2. Screen would be black before Step 4.
3. I installed a WWAN card, N5321GW. By changing Cellphonehelp.kext, it was recognized. But cannot connected to internet.
