Fork or star, it's your call.
EFI Folder (Clover), plist, and BOOT required to install/run Thinkpad X230 Hackintosh Catalina 10.15. Files are from @littlegtplr. Move these files to your EFI Folder. I've got another EFI folder labelled EFI-test. Feel free to tinker that also.
- Proceed with caution.
- Kindly delete the RtWlanU & RtWlanU1827 kexts from kexts/Other folder.
- 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 WiFi, you can hack BIOS/install a Mac-compatible WiFi card. I highly recommend an external device like Comfast CF-811AC for the time being.
- Fingerprint reader
- Please visit this reddit thread.
- I've used neofetch to display system specs via Terminal.
I sell modded ThinkPad X230s. I'm an expat in China, and I've connections with ThinkPad enthusiasts here. We can ship modded X230 machines (1080p mod, 2k mod, Quad code CPU mod, and more) to any country. Email [email protected]. or use the email ID in my bio.
