These are the recommended settings to have everything working properly:
Security Tab:
Security Chip > Security Chip [Disabled]Anti-Theft > Intel (R) AT Module Activation > Current Setting [Disabled]Anti-Theft > Computrace > Computrace Module Activation > Current Setting [Disabled]
Note: These laptops do have whitelist which doesn't allow you to use other Card than the Intel AC7260. In order to use a different / supported card, you need to mod your bios (remove whitelist) or downgrade to Bios v2.36
- Bios v2.36 doesn't have whitelist so downgrading allows you to use any wireless card that you want.
Users with 1366x768 or 1600x900 displays can go ahead and enable secure boot and enjoy it.
Users with upgraded displays to 1080p or native 1080p displays will have garbled screen if CSM is disabled in BIOS (which can't be left enabled if Secure Boot enabled)
In order to fix this problem we need to patch Display-EDID.
Procedures to be added soon...
If your Lenovo Thinkpad T440S doesn't have a TouchScreen display, it is required for you to disable the kext responsible for TouchScreen.
Go to EFI/OC/Config.plist > Kernel > Add > and disable the 4 following kexts:
VoodooI2CServices.kext - Enabled = NoVoodooGPIO.kext - Enabled = NoVoodooI2C.kext - Enabled = NoVoodooI2CHID.kext - Enabled = No
Most of the users have probably already upgraded to a T450S Touchpad (the one with Physical Buttons) and this one does work natively, no need to touch anything. For you users that have the standard Touchpad that came with this laptop, you have to do some changes as VoodooRMI doesn't seem to work very well with them.
Go to EFI/OC/Config.plist > Kernel > Add and disable the VoodooRMI kexts:
VoodooRMI.kext - Enabled = NoVoodooRMI.kext/Contents/PlugIns/RMISMBus.kext - Enabled = NoVoodooRMI.kext/Contents/PlugIns/VoodooTrackpoint.kext - Enabled = NoVoodooRMI.kext/Contents/PlugIns/VoodooInput.kext - Enabled = No
Once done, enable the VoodooPS2Controller kexts for Touchpad:
VoodooPS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/VoodooInput.kext - Enabled = YesVoodooPS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext - Enabled = YesVoodooPS2Controller.kext/Contents/PlugIns/VoodooPS2Mouse.kext - Enabled = Yes
Now enable the SSDT-TPD.aml for Touchpad to work with VoodooPS2:
EFI/OC/Config.plist > ACPI > Add > SSDT-TPD.aml > Enabled = Yes
To have working Keyboard Function Keys (Fn) and Fan reading etc, you need to install the YogaSMCPane and the YogaSMC App. YogaSMC.kext is already included in the EFI so when yo go to releases tab, you download the YogaSMC-App-release.dmg
ALCPlugFIx is required to fix static noise on headphones, however Black-Dragon74 released a Swift version that doesn't require hda-verb, alc-verb or CodecCommander kext. the ALCPlugFix.zip is included in the Tools folder.
Installation:
- Extract ALCPlugFix zip into desktop
- Open terminal and type following commands one by one on the listed order:
sudo spctl --master-disablesudo mkdir /usr/local/bin/cd desktop/ALCPlugFixsudo cp -R ALC3232.plist /usr/local/bin/./install.sh- Now the installer will ask you to drop the
ALC3232.plistinto the terminal window. - Open a new finder window and press
Shift + Cmd(Alt) + Gto open a newgo to folder:window - Now type:
/usr/local/bin/ - Drag the
ALC3232.plistfrom the/usr/local/binfolder into the terminal window and press enter. - Done
Users with Intel AC7260 cards can enjoy out of the box support for both Wireless and Bluetooth.
Keep in mind that Airportitlwm/itlwm is still in early development and only N speeds are supported.
Users with one of these two cards first need to disable the intel kexts:
EFI/OC/Config.plist > Kernel > Add > Airportitlwm > Enabled = NoEFI/OC/Config.plist > Kernel > Add > IntelBluetoothInjector > Enabled = NoEFI/OC/Config.plist > Kernel > Add > IntelBluetoothFirmware > Enabled = No
Then enable the corresponding kexts for those two cards:
EFI/OC/Config.plist > Kernel > Add > AirportBrcmFixup > Enabled = YesEFI/OC/Config.plist > Kernel > Add > AirPortBrcm4360_Injector > Enabled = YesEFI/OC/Config.plist > Kernel > Add > BrcmBluetoothInjector > Enabled = YesEFI/OC/Config.plist > Kernel > Add > BrcmFirmwareData > Enabled = YesEFI/OC/Config.plist > Kernel > Add > BrcmPatchRAM3 > Enabled = Yes
This card uses the same kexts as DW1560, DW1830 but needs this additional injector:
EFI/OC/Config.plist > Kernel > Add > AirPortBrcmNIC_Injector > Enabled = Yes
We also need to disable pci-aspm-default to fix system freezes caused from this card:
Go into EFI/OC/Config.plist > DeviceProperties > and rename / uncomment:
#PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1C,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x0)toPciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1C,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x0)and the device property:#pci-aspm-defaulttopci-aspm-default
This card is the best one you can find for the moment, it is the same as the Apple BCM94360CS2 which works natively but it does have a standard NGFF form factor.
This is the native Apple Wireless and Bluetooth card that can be found on MacBookPro(s). In order to fit this one you will have to buy the NGFF adapter and the extending cable module. There is not enough room to fit the full height so you will be required to place it somewhere else.
Some countries have different 5GHz bands and may not be supported for some, the default one is set as US. You can specify other country codes like: US, CN, #a, etc by going into:
EFI/OC/Config.plist > DeviceProperties > Add > PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1C,0x1)/Pci(0x0,0x0)and rename/uncomment:#country-codetocountry-codeand set the desired value (#a is the preset value, replace with the country code that you need)
