Hi everyone,

My Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 8 works overall amazingly well with Ventura using Jake Los OpenCore config from here:

Everything works on Ventura. However when upgrading (or fresh installing, tried both) to Sonoma (after adding the Airportitlwm.kext file) everything works except for iMessage and Apple Music (although Apple Music works if previously used in Ventura and upgrading to Sonoma).

At this point I have no idea where to start as all the values for serialnumber, ROM etc are provided and as it all works in Ventura.

 

I attached my EFI folder for Ventura which is basically the same I used for Sonoma (except for the Airportitlwm.kext file and I had to remove all of the Airportitlwm.kext files to get it under the upload limit for this thread)


EDIT1: Please, if possible, delete the double posts (I was stupid and just replied to my own thread which is a no-no)

EDIT2: I "resolved" the issue by switching to itlwm.kext + heliport which works for iMessage etc.

I hope this can help others.

For good measure I attached my current EFI folder (I removed all wireless kexts due to size limitations, so please do NOT forget to download itlwm.kext, the current 2.3alpha for Sonoma if you're currently going to use Sonoma).

I thought this thread might've died out. Yes I misunderstand a lot of things in regards to this stuff and sorry to have caused some confusion to other members of this forum @Hervé

Sadly adding the deviceID does not seem to have any effect.

I thought it might be an issue with the UEFI configuration so I checked out Herves article: 

But that seems to not have changed anything either. 
I want to primarily focus on getting the GPU up and running, so that the system is usable. The rest I don't really care much about as of now.

I have attached the current settings as an image.

I didn't change anything else from my initial configuration except for adding bluetooth support (which works fine)

Also I attached the bootup logs with the change of deviceID-setting set the way as you recommended so maybe that helps to figure out what's going on.

 

 

Thanks a lot for helping me already to get this far

I added it to my signature, I hope that is sufficient information, if not, please let me know what other information you need

I also changed the topic as I think the new one is a bit more descriptive

I finally got some time to "attack" this.

 

Thanks for helping me thus far (started from scratch with OC 0.6.9

I got Big Sur to install.

There are a few things I can't get to run.
1. GPU shows: Intel UHD Graphics 620 7 MB (followed dortanias instructions but I must've misconfigured something)

2. Trackpad isn't working (tried this l2C thingy but I must've done something wrong)

3. Keyboard isn't working (didn't try to fix that yet, but if anybody has a hint where to start, would be great)

I attached my entire EFI config so I hope someone can help me

The following NVMe drive is installed:
PC SN730 WDC 512GB
So i guess that wouldnt be the issue

I was already thinking of just removing all the stuff just to the bare minimum to make it bootable and go from there, what do you think? 
i would need to know what the absolute minimum is to get it to boot (if you have any instructions about that that would be great)

and then add piece by piece to see where it fails. 

I just want to reduce possible point of failures to be able to make progress 

Thank you very much. I'll try it out right away.

 

Edit:
I tested it as you mentioned above step by step

It then booted to the point where it wrote: SMCLightsensor

Then the screen kinda got a grey colour (the writing itself) and restarted the computer.

 

I attach the newly created log file again.

Hello,

I am trying for hours to even get the installer to boot and I am stuck here.

I even tried EFI folders from other people here in the forum with 7400s

Sadly I cannot get it to run.

I attached the EFI folder + logs and hopefully someone can help me to resolve that.
