This is my first attempt at a (almost) fully functional Hackintosh for ThinkPad T470. Got it to work after lots of errors and research. I recommend you to go through Dortonia's Guide even if you are going to use my EFI.

What's Working?

Almost everything except

  • Wi-FI. There's a kext called AppleIntelWifi that's supposed to work but it did not work for me.
  • The Power Indicator blinks even after waking up from Sleep.
  • Magic Gestures do not work. However acidanthera's VoodooPS2Controller had Magic Gestures, but no Tap to Click.
  • TrackPoint is a bit laggy. Usable, slight inconvenience.

Audio Codec: ALC 298, layout 47 in the boot-args worked for me. Try various options.

Installation

  • The best way to get the ACPI files is to boot into a live linux disk and use SMDTTime to generate the DSDT dump and the .aml files. Using pre built files may prolong the boot time.
  • Following the Documentation carefully will guarentee the best possible
  • Generate the SMBIOS using GenSMBIOS to be able to use Apple Software.
