ThinkPad T470 OpenCore

alt text alt text

This is my first attempt at a (almost) fully functional Hackintosh for ThinkPad T470. Got it to work after lots of errors and research. I recommend you to go through Dortonia's Guide even if you are going to use my EFI.

Specs

Component Name
CPU i5-6300U
Graphics HD 520
RAM 8 GB
Display 14.0" (355mm) HD 1366x768
Storage SanDisk SSD Plus 256 GB
Network Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260
Network Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260

Kexts Used:

  • AirportItlwm
  • AppleALC
  • BrightnessKeys
  • CpuTscSync
  • ECEnabler
  • IntelMausi
  • Lilu
  • NVMeFix
  • SMCBatteryManager
  • SMCLightSensor
  • SMCProcessor
  • SMCSuperIO
  • USBInjectAll
  • VirtualSMC
  • VoodooPS2Controller(RehabMan's Version)
  • WhateverGreen

What's Working?

Almost everything except

  • Wi-FI. There's a kext called AppleIntelWifi that's supposed to work but it did not work for me.
  • The Power Indicator blinks even after waking up from Sleep.
  • Magic Gestures do not work. However acidanthera's VoodooPS2Controller had Magic Gestures, but no Tap to Click.
  • TrackPoint is a bit laggy. Usable, slight inconvenience.

Audio Codec: ALC 298, layout 47 in the boot-args worked for me. Try various options.

Installation

  • The best way to get the ACPI files is to boot into a live linux disk and use SMDTTime to generate the DSDT dump and the .aml files. Using pre built files may prolong the boot time.
  • Following the Documentation carefully will guarentee the best possible
  • Generate the SMBIOS using GenSMBIOS to be able to use Apple Software.
