josenaves Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I have a Lenovo Thinkpad E470 and I need some help with post-install. Lenovo Thinkpad E470 Processor: Intel Core i5-7200U (Kaby Lake) Bios: R0DET99W (1.99 ) Memory: 12GB (4+8) Graphics: Intel(R) HD Graphics 620 Wifi: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 (interface NGFF M2) Ethernet: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller IDE Controller: Intel(R) 6th Gen Core Processor Family Platf I/O SATA AHCI Controller SD Card Reader: BayHubTech Integrated MMC/SD controller Motherboard chipset: Intel Sunrise Point-LP, Intel Kaby Lake-U HDD: WDC WD5000LPLX-08ZNTT0 (500 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA-III) Trackpad: Synaptics Pointing Device Keyboard: Japanese PS/2 Keyboard (106/109 teclas Ctrl + Eisuu) Áudio: Conexant CX20753/4 @ Intel Sunrise Point-LP PCH - High Definition Audio Controller [C1] (codec: 14F15111h / 17AA505Bh) Intel Kaby Lake HDMI @ Intel Sunrise Point-LP PCH - High Definition Audio Controller [C1] (codec: 8086280Bh / 17AA505Bh) I have followed initially the guide below (it helped me a lot). Thank you guys for this !!!! After a successful Catalina installation, I've used the CLOVER folder from the guide but it never boots up. So, I did a clean install and used a config.plist from RehabMan. So far, so good (er, more or less). During the boot I can see lots of ACPI errors. I'm writing this message from the Lenovo E470 itself I've buy a SSD and I'm just waiting for it. Meanwhile, I'm trying to make it (almost) perfect. What's working: network - only cabled (ethernet) keyboard - although it is a ABNT2, I'm using it as a US International trackpad - not as good as I need - sometimes the click is not working trackpoint - works but not the buttons video - activated and using an external monitor through HDMI screen brightness (with keyboard keys too) SD Card Reader However, some things are not working: sound - only through headphones - using layout 15 (have tried all possible layouts) battery - not showing status wifi - not using - maybe I buy some wireless card in the future (also have 2 different usb dongles to test) Here is my current CLOVER folder and also codec_dump I made using Linux. I want to make it fully functional and learn some new tricks during the journey. I also want to make a more detailed guide to help other people. Any help is welcome. codec_dump-0.txt.zip CLOVER.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 13, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2019 Nothing to worry about those ACPI errors; you may just need some additional tuning re: DSDT/ACPI patching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josenaves Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 A little progress - brightness is working now. I've just followed a guide from RehabMan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josenaves Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Hi Jake, Thank you for your help. Something bad happened here. I replaced the CLOVER folder but now the computer won't boot. I'm trying to recover it. Did I miss anything ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 13, 2019 Moderators Share Posted November 13, 2019 did you replace the contents into the Clover folder or you replace the Clover folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josenaves Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 I renamed my former CLOVER folder to _CLOVER. Then, I created a new CLOVER folder and put all content into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josenaves Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Ok, I finally restored it. Somehow, the content of new CLOVER file was corrupted. Trying again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josenaves Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 I got it now - I should have copied (replace) the file and folders you gave me onto a copy of my working CLOVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josenaves Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Thank you very much @Jake Lo. Everything is good now ! Wow ! The only thing that needs some working is audio. I've just injected layout 15 (at least I have sound through headphones). One dummy question - why did my CLOVER folder won't work in another similar Lenovo E470? It is something related with DSDT ?
