Note: You're nothing but an a-hole if you sell EFI folder (config) that's readily available for free.
Fork or star, it's your call.
EFI Folder (Clover), plist, and BOOT required to install/run Thinkpad X230 Hackintosh Catalina 10.15.2 & 10.15. Move these files to your EFI Folder. I've got another EFI folder labelled 10.15-test/EFI. Feel free to tinker that also.
- Proceed with caution.
- N/A for Opencore bootloader. Go ahead though, if you know what you're doing.
- EFI-swap recommended. I haven't tested these settings against the latest version of Clover.
I added Realtek WLAN kexts to use with the Comfast USB Wi-Fi adapter. You should edit the config. according to your preferences.
The EFI folder is applicable for Vanilla approach and SSD hot-swap (just replace/paste EFI folder - not recommended though.)
Inbuilt intel-WiFi adapter won't work out of the box.
Atheros AR5B95, Lenovo part number 20002357 is a macOS supported/Lenovo-whitelisted card available for X230. You should add IO80211Family.kext to Kexts/Other after installing the card.
Alternativly, you can flash the BIOS and remove the whitelist if you plan to use Broadcom WLAN cards.
Stick with a nano-USB WiFi adapter (something cheap based on Realtek) if you don't want to alter your hardware.
