Installed the same way as El Capitan. Make sure to use latest Clover version So far not able to get audio to work. Still testing. Audio and Brightness control won't work Cap lock has some issue. You need to click it twice to turn and twice to turn off Karabiner is not supported in Sierra as of yet to fix the controls Update: Fix audio by removing extra hot patch needed in DP1(8A19D411 -> 00000000) and enable ResetHDA in Clover Config Trying new Karabiner-Elements with customized karabiner.json. Got Audio and Brightness Control working as before.

1) Legacy is correct. No need for preference pane and rc script on USB Installer, only on the Installed drive The guide never mentioned about renaming, so stick with Other Files are newer than v3320 because you replaced them with v3556 from my EFI folder or you installed newer version of Clover 2) Kexts in Other can remain there, no need to move or rename anything. Guide never mentioned about renaming...so stick with the guide 3) Guide said to see Note1 for SandyBridge which you have and use Legacy Mode..UEFI doesn't work for me and causes hang Install Preference Pane and RC Script to installed drive 4) In guide, it states Place generated SSDT.aml in /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched 5) No need, just use the DSDT as is. Patched by Wern to make nvs4200m sleep capable. 6) Keep Config.plist where it is /EFI/Clover 7) Keeps the kext in Other as they are, only place kexts in Other/LE to /Library/Extension as stated in the guide 8) No need to unmount, it'll unmount after you reboot or shutdown

It's in the link in the 1st post

Read up on the prerequisite part here. Check out FireWolf's site. If you can't set the DVMT in the BIOS, then you'll need to patch the Framebuffer for Broadwell.

Set the BIOS to Load Default, hit Apply, then set SATA Operations to AHCI. Note: if you have windows install to Raid 0 or ATA, this will make your Windows unbootable. Your installer, are you using Enoch Chameleon or Clover loader? For Clover did you install Clover loader according to UEFI or Legacy? Is BIOS set to UEFI or Legacy.

See if this helps...

You can grab them from your Installer or undo the patches.

After reboot, you need to select Install OS Sierra from ....again to complete the installation, usually the second option to the right of your drive.

replace it to /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched

Broadwell is only supported from 10.10.5 and up, but I would recommend at least 10.11. Issues with graphics hang on 10.10.5. Intel wireless will not be supported. YOu'll need to replace with BCM4352z specific for Lenovo to get pass the whitelisting. For the HD 5500 to work, you'll need to set DVMT to 96MB in the BIOS, but I believe Lenovo have their BIOS locked. So your only choices are to add a hot patch in Config or to manually patch the FB's binary. Search the forum under Lenovo, there are lot of info there already to get you started.

Open your Config.plist with PlistEdit Pro or Xcode, don't use a text editor. Go down to KextToPatch under KernelAndKextPatches. Replace the Find and Replace with one I posted. Save the file See image below. If this doesn't work, then you'll need to patch the FB's binary manually. Try HexFiend. Search and replace.

If you're running on battery, turbo is disabled with DisableTurboBoostBattery.kext. If running with power adapter, then it's your SSDT.aml. Rebuild with SSDTPrGen.sh. You might need to run it with the proper switches. Run ssdtprgen.sh ? for help

You need to restore any vanilla kexts you might have manually patched or installed or removed. i.e. AppleHDA, AppleIntelFrameBufferAzul, AppleIntelHD5000Graphics, etc.

Reboot and test if everything is working

Ok, replace these to your EFI/Clover partition, make a backup if you like Then copy all kexts in /EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other/LE to /Library/Extensions Click ok on the popup error. Open terminal and enter the following commands sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E* sudo touch -f /L*/E* sudo chmod -Rf 755 /S*/L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /S*/L*/E* sudo touch -f /S*/L*/E* sudo kextcache -Boot -U / Reboot E5440_Smakced.zip

Are using clover or enoch Chameleon? Attach what you have so far.

Seems you can just use FakeID in Clover Config for ATI 5450 too, no need to patch DSDT. http://www.osx86.net/forums/topic/23421-clover-fake-id-hd5450-yosemite-el-capitan/

As I recall, you were not able to set DVMT with EFI Shell on your Lenovo because it's locked down. So there's only 2 ways left, one is to use hot patch on Clover Config to bypass or 2, manually mod the binary of the FB kext. Here's what was used in the beta 10.12, not sure if the FB has change in the GM version. Find: 8945C839C7764F Replace: 8945C839C7EB4F It would help to attach the FB if you want it patched for you, not everyone has access or have install GM already. Most would have to wait for the public replace on 9/20th.

Was able to assist absint0o remotely, able to boot successfully after restore EFI folder from my download page. Basically it replaces his Clover files version 3726 to v3556. Before restoring he's getting "Waiting for root device...", after restore, he's able to get to the Installer GUI. Perhaps kext injection wasn't working when USBInjector.kext was in /EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other

For the models with Nvidia discrete card, try FrostytheSnowman's new guide here.

Is HDMI audio working too?

I'm wonder if it's your USB wireless and kext that's preventing the system from sleeping and waking properly.

Use ALC280 from here, install to /Library/Extensions. Remove VoodooHDA and AppleHDADisabler. Restore vanilla AppleHDA if you removed it. Repair permission and rebuild cache Add this to your Config under KextToPatch and use layoutID 3 for HDEF in Config or DSDT

Bronxteck is right again! Sorry, uploaded the wrong DSDT. It's now updated here with DualLink enabled and wireless patch removed.

Why are you booting in SafeMode?
