Raw Blame History

This EFI is currently incomplete and is not very useful. At the moment, only Ventura works on my machine. Sonoma may have been broken with a point release. This will be fixed soon. Hopefully, in the future, I can get Sequoia working.

thinkpad-t480s-hackintosh

A prebuilt OpenCore EFI for macOS on the Lenovo ThinkPad T480s

WARNING! If running Sonoma, ethernet IS required for initial half of setup if you use an internet-based installer. You will need to install Heliport for Wi-Fi. Ventura users can use Wi-Fi with no issues.

This is a macOS EFI for the Lenovo ThinkPad T480s, with support for Intel Wi-Fi cards. Ventura and Sonoma compatible.

Follow the "Downloading macOS" section in the Dortania guide to get macOS. Support will not be offered if you get macOS from any other source. https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/installer-guide/windows-install.html#downloading-macos. After installing macOS, you will need to disable force clicking, as by default macOS will register all clicks as force clicks (System Settings -> Trackpad -> Uncheck "Force Click and haptic feedback")
