Any suggestions how to change OC to make my 500GB NVMe internal drive show up as an internal drive instead of an external drive?

I don't have such behavior. I had this with my desktop too.

There it is on PEG, so my ssdt won't help.

google ssdt-nvme.

Hey guys! I bought a BCM94360CS2 card + adapter for my t460. However, the adapter seems to turn on and off all the time. Has anyone had that issue?

Hello carlinyos, did you manage to fit the adapter in the t460 m2 slot? I have the same laptop and I thought the adapter was too big for the slot.

This is my 1st post. Thank you everyone for all the hard work. I managed to get Catalina going on my T460 with i7, 16gb and 500gb SSD. I used the latest files in the OP but had to delete one of the voodoo files to get the trackpad working properly. I added some intel Bluetooth Kexts, deleted the broadcom Kexts and added a Realtek usb wifi AC stick with appropriate drivers so it's all working now, as far as I can tell apart from...

 

1. Imessage and FaceTime. No matter what I do I only get a support code to call Apple saying imessage cannot be activated on this device and yes I have tried all the "fixes" out there. I do not own any genuine Apple device and wondering if that's the issue against my AppleID and have tried different appleIDs with same issue just different number. It's very frustrating so any pearls of wisdom appreciated .

 

2. On performing a Carbon Copy Clone which should be bootable it will not boot via USB3, even using the EFI that boots in SATA. I wonder if someone with similar hardware could also try this as maybe it's an issue with this build and the T460s?

 

3. As it's all working ok do I need to create my own patches ? The instructions which I guess were written in High Sierra days don't seem to reflect the files in the latest release and so for me,  a relative newbie, it seems impossible to follow or know what to do?

 

Many thanks to this community.

Also, AirPortBRCMFixUp 2.0.8 doesn't work with my DW1560, reverting back to 2.0.7 fixed it

 

Use the following in your config.plist, you also need the PLugin AirPortBrcmNIC_Injector.

  

                <dict>
                    <key>BundlePath</key>
                    <string>AirportBrcmFixup.kext</string>
                    <key>Comment</key>
                    <string></string>
                    <key>Enabled</key>
                    <true/>
                    <key>ExecutablePath</key>
                    <string>Contents/MacOS/AirportBrcmFixup</string>
                    <key>MaxKernel</key>
                    <string></string>
                    <key>MinKernel</key>
                    <string></string>
                    <key>PlistPath</key>

                    <key>Comment</key>
                    <string>NIC INJECTOR</string>
                    <key>Enabled</key>

Hey, I just wanted to share with you how great is VoodooRMI kext for trackpad gestures.

 

 

 

I'm using it for weeks now and it's perfect.

 

My config: https://github.com/simprecicchiani/Thinkpad-T460s-macOS-OpenCore

VoodooRMI: https://github.com/VoodooSMBus/VoodooRMI

 

Works great on my t470. Thanks. The new VoodoPS2 never worked great for me, but this seems much better.

A noob here, can anyone help with Broadcom BCM4356? (location path on windows: [PCIROOT(0)#PCI(1C02)#PCI(0000)]

I am trying tluck's version of OpenCore as it is on my T460 running Mojave

Also when the screen goes black or to sleep, returning would be impossible, is it the resolution? cause I got a crappy 1366x768 display

 

Thank you

* Core i3 6100U - 8GB RAM

Here is a Guide that describes the translation process: https://medium.com/swift-india/localize-your-apps-to-support-multiple-languages-ios-localization-ac7b612dbc58

 

 

Ok thank you, I will try to do it in French on my wasted time.

 

Did you manage to get Vault working following this : https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/security.html ?

 

I have change the config file with Secure, put on the EFI the folder Utilities/CreateVault, launch sign.command with everything ok and when I restart I have a message "OC: Configuration requires vault but no vault provided!"

Hej,

 

the next release of macOS Big Sur is coming soon.
 

Is there information available on how to upgrade from Catalina to Big Sur or is a new installation available.
Does anybody have a running system with Big Sur with T460?

Can you share your experience with this and maybe share your EFI folder.

 

Thanks

New EFI for t470. 

Attached is my latest EFI based on OC 0.6.2 and refreshed kexts. 

Works really well, and all Windows conflicts in the ACPI have been resolved. Can boot OSX and Windows 10 from OC now with no issues. 

 

Thanks for sharing

Updated to Big Sur using your files without any problems.

Nice to hear that! I am working on bumping to ne OC and some minor changes. I really should spend the time scripting that.
