BIOS settings: Set all to default. Then set Security-> Memory Protection-> Execution Prevention: Enabled Security-> Security Chip-> Security Chip: Disabled Config-> Serial ATA (SATA) -> Sata Controller Mode option: AHCI Let's get started... I use the myhack method for this build, so follow instructions to build your USB installer from here http://myhack.sojugarden.com/guide/ Installing OSX: After creating your USB installer, run myHack again Select Install Extra and point to the Extra folder attached (extract it first) Boot up system with USB installer disk (if not work type "-f -v" before enter install disk).You'll see a white, then a gray screen with cursor only, just wait. Eventually you get to the screen to select Language Format the HDD per instruction from myHack site Select "Use my Own" when prompt and point to the Extra folder in the root of the USB installer drive Delete the (3) files when prompt A few minutes later, it will automatically reboot. Remove the USB installer drive Complete the post install What's working: Full QE/CI Keyboard, trackpad and trackball (multitouch three finger swipe) (the keyboard layout of thinkpad is different to mac keyboard, so I advise you to exchange the function of option and command at system preferences - special keys) Audio Sleep and Wake with Lid Wifi - replaced Intel Card with Atheros AR 9280 Webcam Microphone Shut down Brightness control Bluetooth (integrated bt doughtercard) Facetime App Store (sometimes its required to buy something in itunes to authenticate the computer) Finger print reader iMessage (with NVRAM fix, own generated Serial and a call to iMessage support) WWAN (Ericsson F3507g/ Dell Wireless 5530) VGA Out(Mirroring and extended Desktop) What's not working: SD card reader Not yet tested but should still work: HDMI, Display Port, ExpressCard
