Lenovo U350

[djcmix]

LENOVO U 350 - a beautiful 13.3 inch MAC AIR similar alternative.

 

Lets get the ball rolling on installing OSX

 

GRAPHICS : use the modified X3100 kext found on this site somewhere....i cant seem to attach it here.

 

Please continue with this thread if you know the rest.

 

I am going to try this tonight - apparently only LEOPARD runs atm ... which is fine with me provided it is 10.5.8

 

I need a detailed install guide here - complete with which distro and which patches/drivers installled/ticked on first installation.

 

The wifi issue seems to be on it's way to being resolved. INTEL 5100 ..... comments please...

Great News!!!

I am considering buying the Lenovo U350

But, before doing so I wanted to know if it was possible to install OSX on it.

Can someone let me know what would be the best tutorial to use for this purpose?

I did a search for Lenovo U350, but it did not result in much.

A search for Lenovo results in many hits and on the second page I found, finally, this post. Which indicates that it is possible to install OSX in this machine.

However, I wold appreciate some help and guidance.

 

Thanks

I was able to install snow on U350

only with iPortable_Snow_x86_Installer_[MacOSX]

Iportable via google

I have 3 partitions one with Xp, an other with data, and the third with snow 10.6.2

i dont have the wifi, and video without QE/CI.

Else during the install for the first reboot i have to chose legacy_kernel

[pengwin]

i have one of these, attempting to install leopard then upgrade to snow. will let you guys know how it goes.

[toto74742001]

I try also to update from leopard to snow leopard but i was not able to do that.

I try also few snow leopard DVDs but it was a failure except with iPortable

and at the first boot i type under chameleon: legacy_kernel -v

[sksatyajeet]

[toto74742001]

That's great news. Really looking into this but can you please share what works atm? Do you have proper graphics acceleration, sound and wifi? That would do it for me...

[toto74742001]

ok with iportable DVD,

about sound is ok with the voodooHda which is in the DVD

about video i use the x3100 kext which is in the DVD (correct resolution no artefact, but no QE/CI)

no wifi, i use a usb wifi D-LINK (DWA-110 model)

Hi Toto

I have been trying to get the iPortable image... but, without success.

Googling it results in thousands of references.

But most are attracting users for payed download services... which goes against my objectives.

I found a site with direct download, but I had to download 14 parts of the file in RAR format. When I try to expand the archive and build the image I get the files 4, 6, 7, 10 and 13 as corrupted.

I tried to download these again and got the same effect.

Then I tried to go back to google search and then I get just the payed download service.

Can you refer a safe site from which I can get this file?

Or, if that does not work, can you let me know how can I create a bootable image from a Snow Leopard DVD? I bought one in a recent visit to the US... but, I do not have much experience..

Thanks

Robin

Hi all

 

Finaly, after some struggle, I managed to get the iPortable files and built the USB Stick following the document included in the RAR file.

 

However, when I tried to boot from the new USB Stick I failed miserably. I simply got what seems to be a prompt (kind of an underscore in the top left corner) and then it looks like frozen.

 

I am not sure of what I might have done wrong... but may be some of you could put me back in the right track.

 

The section "Install to USB STICK" esta' completa; as section "CopyCatX iPortable Snow x86 installation" - I did not get the problems mentioned in this section.

 

I did not proceed to section "Set bootflag with G-parted editor"... Is this section necessary to run agains the USB stick?

 

That is basically, where I am...

 

Thanks

 

Robin

As you i don't use the section "Set bootflag with G-parted editor" for my usb stick, but actually i have some problems for booting from my hard disk, so i believie i will go back to 10.5

What do you mean you will go back to 10.5?

Were you successful in booting from an USB Stick prepared with iPortable?

Did you manage to get any other process, besides the iPortable, to hackintosh a Lenovo U350?

 

Thanks

yes, with ideneb 10.5 on dvd, i manage to hackintosh U350, but with leopard i had problems with sound so i try to test snow with iportable, but now my boot is becoming a piece of luck, i boot 3 times and more, every time, with -v (verboose) option to boot so it is not very cool.

Currently running 10.6.3, installed using a USB DVD unit.

 

Working:

- Bluetooth native

- Network via AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext

- Native resolution (without QE/CI) via this thread

 

Not working:

- Wireless (even though I have a Broadcom BCM4312 (14e4, 4315, 04ad14e, rev. 01)

- Sleep (still looking for a working enabler...)

[toto74742001]

Please can you give us information about your usb version?

 

thank you very much

[Marian Capotă]

Host Controller Location: Expansion Slot

Host Controller Driver: AppleUSBUHCI

PCI Revision ID: 0x0003

PCI Vendor ID: 0x8086

 

Also, Lenovo EasyCamera does not work (tested only in Photo Booth) but I guess if someone gets QE/CI enabled, then it may work.

[Marian Capotă]

Great news!

 

Got Sound+Microphone+Native Fn+Left Arrow/Right Arrow working using the attached Kext!

 

I must say I have tried so many different versions of VoodooHDA but this one seems to be perfect.

 

10.6.3/x64 System Profiler/Audio (Built in):

Intel High Definition Audio:

Device ID: 0x17AA3A0D

VoodooHDA.kext.zip

[toto74742001]

Please can you give us information about your dvd install (Ideneb, iatkos, iportable or other), with 64 bits or 32 bits kernel, which one? please

thank you very much

[Marian Capotă]

Installed 10.6.3 x64 using iATKOS S3 version 2

 

Does the integrated Broadcom 4312 (ID 4315) work in Leopard?

Also, does anyone had any success with Sleep Enabler with this particular notebook?

[toto74742001]

i wil try iaktos with x32 to see if there is some better thinks

i download it

thank you very much

 

I try to boot with iaktos with usb but nothing??

MBR or GUID?

to install it i burn a dvd and i need to try to install it but i was wrong with the option so i will try with other install option

[Marian Capotă]

Try to get a USB DVD unit to install it. I have a dual boot MBR-based Windows 7 + Mac OS X with Chameleon (latest RC).

 

Did you got Sleep working in any version you tried?

Cool

Can you please detail the process?

Or refer where I can learn how to do it?

I have Snow 10.6.3... Is it enough to plug an external DVD drive and boot from it using the DVD for Snow 10.6.3?

Do you have it dual boot?

Thanks
