Lenovo Thinkpad T450 & T450s Hackintosh Guide for Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur & Monterey with OpenCore

This repo contains the installation guide and EFI files required to get a perfectly functional Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina and Mojave hackintosh on your T450 or T450s since they share the same hardware. Everything is stable and functional as described in this Readme.

A few worthy mentions about this repo:

This guide is not for models with Haswell 4th gen CPU
The patched ACPI files were first created by EchoEspirit. I tweaked a couple of things and fixed some errors that were happening on T450 + added Intel WiFi drivers from Openintelwireless
I will try my best to keep the repo updated with the latest kexts and OpenCore version
This EFI works with macOS Monterey, Big Sur, Catalina and Mojave -For macOS Monterey this EFI will not have full support since it's still in Beta so don't expect flawless functionality
This EFI is Configured with Big Sur in mind. If you are using it on Monterey, Catalina or Mojave read the the whole guide to know where to make the necessary changes
With every EFI update you retrieve from here please remember to go through the post install guide

Introduction

EFI folder and Guide for Thinkpad T450 and T450s Hackintosh Monterey.

Ethernet
Onboard audio (see post install guide for more info)
USB 2.0 / USB 3.0
Dual Batteries
Touchpad
Trackpoint
miniDP
SD Card Reader (Enable Sinetek-rtsx.kext in Config.plist because it is unstable to be left on by default)
HiDPI (Use one-key-hidpi)
Sidecar (see post install guide for more info)

What doesn't work

Note: If you need to edit Config.plist, don't use OpenCore configurator or Clover configurator, use PlistEdit pro, PropperTree, or Xcode.

Linux Guide:

Follow this guide to set up the online macOS Big Sur Installer in Linux. I haven't gotten time to write a detailed guide.

The Dortania Installation Guide is more detailed and you easily refer to it for more details. I haven't gotten time to write a detailed guide.

Note:

1. If you are installing Catalina or Mojave it is important that you disable Airportitlwm.kext in Kernel/Add/20 of Config.plist and enable itlwm.kext instead. Read Post Install #4.

2. For those having a black screen or frozen installer when booting the install USB, create the USB using macOS and not Linux or Windows. Details on that here

Post Install

Once you have verifed that your machine boots properly without any issues as described in the "What Works section", proceed to do the following

1. Disable Verbose mode (the black screen with logs on boot up)

In Config.plist, navigate to NVRAM -> Add -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> boot-args and delete the -v argument

2. Disable AppleDebug, ApplePanic & ShowPicker

In the Config.plist, naviaget to Misc -> Debug and change both AppleDebug and ApplePanic to False (NO)

You can also disable the boot picker screen so that you boot straight to th Apple logo by setting ShowPicker under Misc -> Boot to False (NO)

Note: you can still see the boot picker with ShowPicker set to no/false by spamming Esc before the apple logo is displayed during boot.

3. Enable WiFi with the Intel card on Monterey, Catalina and Mojave

If you are on Catalina or Mojave, you can enable WiFi on the Intel card by navigating (in config.plist) to Kernel -> Add -> 20 and set Enabled to False/NO (Disabling Airportitlwm.kext) and in 21 set Enabled to True/YES (Enabling itlwm.kext). After enabling these and rebooting install Heliport App (included in Utilities).

Or you can use Airportitlwm.kext for Catalina from Intel WiFi Kexts folder and get native wifi on Catalina in the expense of loosing trackpad after wake from sleep.

For those on Monterey & Big Sur you can comfortably use the Airportitlwm.kext included as the trackpad issues after sleep do not happen on Big Sur.

Note:

1. Airportitlwm.kext gives you native WiFi menu and enables location services, but often causes issues with the trackpad & trackpoint after waking from sleep (it doesn't work) on Catalina and Mojave (not Big Sur). A quick fix is to put the laptop to sleep again by closing the lid until the red sleep light starts to blink then waking the laptop again. Also it only happens when you put the laptop to sleep for a very long time (more than 2 or 3 hours). So for those who don't put their laptop to sleep for a very long time and just turn it off after use, this kext is ok to use.

2. The Airportitlwm.kext included in this EFI is for Big Sur. For those in Monterey take the kext in Monterey folder inside Intel WiFi kexts and replace the one in EFI -> Kexts. For those in Catalina or Mojave you should use the one in Intel WiFi Kexts Folder of this repo (Recommended) and replace the one in EFI -> Kexts. Note: the Airportitlwm kext for macOS Monterey is very new and may have issues. Please report those issues here.

3. Airportitlwm causes the bluetooth to be unstable and because so you may experience stutters or interruptions while using bluetooth headphones. To fix this you can turn off wifi and connect via ethernet or you can get 8x series cards to fix this or buy the recomended cards (DW1820A 00JT494 or Broadcom BCM94360CSAX)

4. Enable Caps lock indicator and additional Thinkpad features you used to get on Windows

Using YogaSMC you can gain this functionality back. Install the YogaSMC App-Release from here. Install it then open it to set it up.

5. Enabling bluetooth toggle to be able to turn off bluetooth

You can enable IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext & IntelBluetoothInjector.kext to be able to turn off bluetooth by enabling those kexts in config.plist This is not done by default because it increases boot times For those on macOS Monterey do not enable these kexts because the system will not boot

6. Add Device Properties for Serial number, MLB, ROM, Sytem-UUID and optionally SystemProductName.

Follow this guide to set up serial number and the accompanying info to get iServices

If you want to get wired sidecar working, in Config.plist change the string in Platforminfo > Generic> SystemProductName to MacBook9,1 (note: this causes the battery to drain faster)

7. Fix USB mouse side buttons.

If you are using a usb mouse with side buttons, you can spoof apple usb mouse by change the pid and vid in AnyAppleUSBMouse.kext/Info.plist and enable it in Config.plist.

8. Fixing static noise

When you connect headphones/earbuds via the headphone jack you will hear static noise. To fix this install alc_fix_new located in Utilities folder of this repo.

Mouse input killed after waking from sleep Catalina

Describe the bug
Trackpad and trackpoint aren't working after resuming on Catalina, even without Airportitlwm IntelBluetooth or even itlwm kexts loaded. Does the latest commit support Catalina still? This doesn't happen on echospirits opencore configuration albeit severely outdated.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Sleep
Wake up the laptop

Expected behavior
Trackpad and trackpoint should work after resuming from sleep

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.7

Static noise issues even after installing alc_fix_new

Describe the bug
After installing the fix I still suffer from the same issue

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Install Big Sur 11.4
Install alc_fix_new
Plug in the headphone jack
Noise

Expected behavior
Headphones shouldn't play any noise.

macOS Info:

OS: Big Sur
Version 11.4
Laptop Model: T450

Additional context
I tried putting my computer to sleep and waking from it but I still had the same issue.

With the Airportitlwm.kext on macOS from original configuration Wi-Fi is not working/broken on Windows

So, after pretty successful Big Sur 11.1 installation based on the original config.plist having Airportitlwm.kext enabled the Wi-Fi under macOS was running quite fine.
However:

When booting into Windows the Wi-Fi device seems to be completely broken

Nothing helps: driver update, reinstall, disabling/enabling.

This is reported here: OpenIntelWireless/itlwm#329

Any suggestions as always much appreciated.

Thank you, Monterey is awesome!

Just wanted to say thank you for the acpi, I made my own efi with updated open core 0.7.3 and all kext updated and copied you acpi and renames and it works great! thank you, the system boots up fast (20 second) and everything is working, even bluetooth toggle on and off with BlueToolFixup.kext and IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext 2.0 turn off intelbluetoothinjector in kernel > add.

unable to use wifi and no sound for earphone

I'm using a ax200 and it seems not working. And also there is no sound when I plug in my earphone. I'm a newbie for opencore, I've been checking these issues online for few days, and none of the methods work.I'll so grateful if anybody can help to solve it.

Black screen after picking OpenCore

Describe the bug
After creating the boot thumbdrive with OpenCore.

To Reproduce
I created the bootdrive using Ubuntu and followed the first method. Afterwards, I copied the BaseSystem.dmg and the BaseSystem.chunklist (which I got via macrecovery.py for Big Sur; tried Catalina too, same result) to the com.apple.recovery.boot folder at the root of the drive. After that I downloaded the EFI folder from this repo and placed it along the com.apple.recovery.boot folder at the root.

Then I restarted the laptop, went into BIOS and changed all the options from the README.

When choosing the thumbdrive as a startup device, I was greeted with OpenCore screen with icons, where I clicked the first one. Then the screen went black (but lit up). Sometimes it stays this way for more than 20 minutes until I manually turn off the laptop, other times it just reboots randomly. I tried using DEBUG version of OpenCore in hopes of getting the logs and finding the problem but to no avail (I replaced the files from the EFI folder from this repo to the files from the DEBUG release, as stated here: everything stays the same, even if I delete OpenCanopy.efi and remove the lines for it from config.plist.

Expected behavior
The installation starts.

Hardware:
ThinkPad T450, i5-5300U, HD Graphics 5500, 8 GB, Intel 7265

Additional context
I've noticed that the config.plist in the repo is capitalized, however it is not in the guides. Nonetheless, changing it (nor not changing it) doesn't help to solve the issue.

The content of my drive (roor)

The content of my drive (EFI/OC folder)

I'd be happy to provide any additional info that might be required and if I install the MacOS successfully, I'd love to contribute to writing a detailed guide, if you want any help! Thanks in advance!

Thanks it works but very slow boot

Hello thank you so much for the amazing guide and efi I got macOS Monterey installed successfully on my thinkpad t450s using this efi but it takes a long time to boot any solutions?

Battery service recommended

Hi, I've done the installation. But one thing keep bugging me is that the 'Service Recommended' warning at the battery section and it seems that my t450s can only withstand 2 hrs of usage of battery while on windows it can stay longer. Did I skipped any steps or is it just normal? thanks!

T450s Static noise when connected to audio jack

Hello!
I have a problem where I cannot seem to fix the static audio noises in my headphones when plugged into the audio jack.
I have tried installing alc_fix_swift from the utilities folder using the instructions from readme 2 times, and yet the static noise is still there.
I'm new to opencore, so maybe I missed something
Hope you can help me with this!
Thanks!

Big Sur 11.2 not showing in software updates

I am using your EFI on an X250 and everything works great except that Big Sur 11.2 is not showing up in software updates.

My config is pretty standard (Core i5 5200U, Intel 7265). OpenCore and Big Sur and installed on an M.2 drive, Windows is on the main SATA drive. iCloud is configured and working without issue. Continuity and HandOff are working. Sleep works.

The drive seal for the Big Sur volume shows up as broken in diskutil but I read elsewhere that this was not an issue as long as I also had "Snapshot Sealed: Yes".

I am using the latest version of the repo (Opencore 0.6.6). The only things I changed in Config.plist are adding the S/N, disabling verbose boot, hiding the Clear NVRAM / Recovery options (HideAuxiliary), and adding the YogaSMC kext.

Any idea what I can do?

I also would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your work, this is the most stable and clean Hackintosh laptop I ever had.

Change the default language to English from Chinese

Hi, since this guide would certainly hit users around the globe it would be more convenient to make the installer start with English language. Currently it is set to Chinese in config.plist.

Big Sur 11.5.2 working?

Is it safe to auto update to 11.5.2 that apple just released?

OCB: StartImage failed - Aborted

Hi,
Thank you for this guide !
I succefully installed Big sur 11.2.1 on a T450 i5.
I reboot several times without key boot.
But this morning it didn't want to boot once selected the disk on GUI.

I got this
OCB: StartImage failed - Aborted

I tried to reset NVRAM, then the Recovery on GUI turned yellow.
I replaced EFI. Still stuck.
I have downloaded stuffs from the appstore with my usual account. A mistake?
Anyway i'm a newbie french guy living in south alps. So i probably missed something :-) ?
I didn't have this issue with Catalina.

T450
16 Go ram
500 SSD (BX500 crucial)

Missing Boot Chime

I've already managed to solve this by adding the needed files and entries in config.plist but it's missing from the new EFI provided. Not sure if this was done for a reason or a preference for the developer.

Touchscreen IPS support

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Toucscreen not working

Describe the solution you'd like
Touchscreen working

Describe alternatives you've considered
I can see that this person managed to achieve touchscreen support but i'm not sure how they've done that.

Additional context
It would be great if this feature could be added because this EFI is more up to date and could possibly enable touchscreen support on Monterey in the future as well.

Let me know if you need more info.

Battery Options grayed out

With the help of your repo and the guide i successfully installed BigSur on a Thinkpad T450.

My problem is, that i can't change any options in the Battery Preferences.
Did I miss something?

Change in the documents

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Step 9. in the instructions on what to copy into the EFI folder could be better explained.

Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of "Copy the OC and BOOT files from my EFI and fireup the installer."

It might be better to say "Copy the EFI Folder with sub folders OC and BOOT files from my EFI folder. to the EFI drive. This means that the EFI folder is at the root of the EFI drive with two sub folders.".

A second line would then be

"Restart the laptop with the USB key and select the 'Install Big Sur option" rather than "fireup the imstaller"

Apart from that mistake I made (twice), it worked well.

Thanks

Rob

Installer boot: CSM support enabled getting black screen/CSM disabled results in garbled graphics

Hi, thanks for sharing your efforts here. I followed your recipe thoroughly assuming making macOS installer inside the Virtual Box macOS VM.
Unfortunately lack of success with booting the installer:

Enabled CSM support in BIOS - this results in hanging completely with black screen (lights on) right after choosing to boot from the USB installer stick
Disabled CSM support in BIOS (mentioned here: https://github.com/jsassu20/Lenovo-T450-Catalina-OpenCore) - this gives me console mode boot but then when entering graphics the screen is totally garbled.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Can not reach installer with t450s

Tried following this guide with both Big Sur 11.0.1, 11.2.1, and Catalina 10.15.5 ISOs. Tried using Kingston Ultimate and Sandisk Ultra USB3 drives.

Wiped the install USB with disk utility and did the createinstallmedia command each time.

Then copied the custom EFI folder over to the clean EFI partition.

It boots, but gets stuck immediately after boot at various errors regarding LOCHB or dmg.root_hash. Tried using Intel 7265, 8260, and AX200 chips.

Simply cannot make it work.

Stuck on boot logo with loading

I am using T450s i5 5300u. So, I followed your guide to create a bootable USB using a mac device. I mounted the EFI partition and Copied your EFI folder to the EFI drive. I have waited for almost 30mins and nothing happened. I also re-attempted the process but no luck.

Bluetooth fix

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, there is a way to get intel Bluetooth working in Monterey.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Bluetooth doesn’t work in Monterey

Describe the solution you'd like
I found this solution in the issues section of the intel Bluetooth repository.
“ Looks like the latest firmware update in commit c52425f is not working properly in macOS Monterey. By reverting the firmware to its previous version, it is working on my setup.

To make Intel Bluetooth working in Monterey, following are needed:

Latest version of Lilu (from source)
Latest version of BrcmPatchRAM (from source), only need BlueToolFixup.kext in this package
IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext with older firmware (Can be built from https://github.com/pigworlds/IntelBluetoothFirmware/tree/revertfw)
IntelBluetoolInjector.kext is not needed.
Shutdown and restart machine instead of reboot.
Tested on Wireless-AC 8265 and Wireless-AC 9560 with streaming audio to Bluetooth headset.”

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. Fix Bluetooth

Describe alternatives you've considered
None

Additional context
None

EFI boot failure

This is probably not an issue at all, but I ask for some pointers anyway. I applied the bios settings as described. I created the installer (tried both 0.68 and 0.70 with Big Sur). Booted from usb and the installation. Package was successfully downloaded.

When rebooting the boot partition is shown (OpenCore) but selecting it returns me back to boot menu after a second.

Can you point to some resources for troubleshooting? Any ideas? BIOS settings problems?

SSDT-SMBU Thinkpad_Clickpad Do you need to delete

I am also t450s, and I am also using i3p9 efi. In order to ensure a smoother touchpad, use VoodooRMI.kext to drive it. SMBU and Thinkpad_Clickpad are not loaded in acpi. Now it seems that it is possible to delete both of them?

And ehc is not blocked in acpi, so ehc information can be seen in hackintool--usb info, can ehc be blocked in acpi?

Also, my sd card is not driven. I don’t know why?

Big Sur, Broadcom DW1830 Wifi, X250, wifi broken after wake from sleep

Your guide and OC files work great! I have experience with Clover, but this is my first time with OC. It was pretty flawless and straightforward getting this working for the first time.

However, when I close the lid of my X250 and let the machine go to sleep, upon wake the internet no longer works. The wifi remains connected, and I can turn it off and back on again, it connects, but there is just no internet connection. A reboot fixes it. Wifi card is Broadcom DW1830.

I've tried adding AirportBcrmFixup.kext to my Kext folder, which is a kext I used with Clover on this machine, but it doesn't seem to help. Back on Clover, I had no issues with the Broadcom wifi at all, but that was also on Catalina.

Any idea what it could be? Thanks in advance!

A few worthy mentions about this repo:

Introduction

Bios

What works

What doesn't work

Note: If you need to edit Config.plist, don't use OpenCore configurator or Clover configurator, use PlistEdit pro, PropperTree, or Xcode.

Installation Guide (Online Installer Reccomended)

macOS Monterey Offline Installer (Only availabile for macOS as of now)

macOS Big Sur Online Installer (Recomended)

Note:

1. If you are installing Catalina or Mojave it is important that you disable Airportitlwm.kext in Kernel/Add/20 of Config.plist and enable itlwm.kext instead. Read Post Install #4.

2. For those having a black screen or frozen installer when booting the install USB, create the USB using macOS and not Linux or Windows. Details on that here

Post Install

1. Disable Verbose mode (the black screen with logs on boot up)

2. Disable AppleDebug, ApplePanic & ShowPicker

3. Enable WiFi with the Intel card on Monterey, Catalina and Mojave

4. Enable Caps lock indicator and additional Thinkpad features you used to get on Windows

5. Enabling bluetooth toggle to be able to turn off bluetooth

6. Add Device Properties for Serial number, MLB, ROM, Sytem-UUID and optionally SystemProductName.

7. Fix USB mouse side buttons.

8. Fixing static noise
