January 2020: I am no longer following the T430 iGPU Hackintosh cat and mouse game, as my Hackintosh has moved on to greener pastures. I would love to open up the repository for collaborators, as it seems it has at least some traction as a T430 Hackintosh repo. Users should also still feel free to create PRs for fixes with regards to new versions of macOS.
Initial credits goes to ThiagoSchetini & Rehabman, thanks bunches!
Also thanks to the contributors, you guys!! 🖤
- nghminh163: maintenance, windows to macOS guide, i3360m SSDT
- 123marvin123: fan speed fix, trackpoint fix, Mojave mic fix, high res DP/DVI out fix.
- Intel Hyperthread (4/8 cores) - I have the i5-3320M & i7-3632QM.
- Intel TurboBoost
- Intel SpeedStep
- CPU HW Monitor (temps, clock and power)
- RAM DDR3 at 1600mhz
- Intel HD4000 1536MB
- Brightness (FULL Range + Fn Brightness Keys)
- Display Port Out: FullHD + Audio
- Battery Status
- Wi-Fi (I use an Atheros AR5BHB92 rebranded)
- Ethernet
- Sleep
- Display turns on automatically on wake/instant wake
- USB 3.0 Full Speed
- Audio ALC269
- Webcam + Mic
- Keyboard + TouchPad
- Bluetooth: bought and installed this BT daughter card worked out of the box. Sadly no Handoff - yet
- VGA output
- SD Card Reader <- never tested
- You'll need thumbdrive of at least 8 GB, HFS+ formatted.
- Use Unibeast to create the installer. Select UEFI and no ATI/nVidia.
- After creating the USB Installer go to EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/
Remove everything and put the 4 files this repository (add the apfs.efi if need be)
- Put any kexts in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.12 etc. into ./other/ and copy the kexts from this
repository into ./other/ as well.
- Thus removing all kexts folders except ./other/
- You'll need a mouse and external keyboard plugged in (for the install process).
- If you get stuck on boot disable 'InjectIntel' graphics.
If you have installed an SSD and a HDD in your T430, you can gain the advantages of using a fusion drive. Follow these steps to install on a fusion drive rather than a "regular" drive.
- Setup Fusion drive according to guides on the internet.
- Install macOS on external HDD.
- Restore HDD installation to Fusion Drive with Disk Utility on the install disk.
- *Alternatively* (never got this to work) do `/Volumes/"Image Volume/Install macOS High Sierra.app"
/Contents/Resources/startosinstall --volume the_target_volume--converttoapfs NO --agreetolicense`
from Terminal instead of regular install.
- Boot into new installation on Fusion Drive.
Show hidden files (optional, but helpful)
- After first boot, on Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
killAll Finder
- Install “clover.pkg” (found in repo/tools folder)
Check 'Install for UEFI Booting Only'
This will automatically check 'Install Clover in the ESP'
Check Drivers 64 UEFI (IMPORTANT! Do only check OsxAptioFix2Drv-64)
- Now you can remove your Installer Pen Drive (you have boot)
- config.plist: use the one from this repository
take from low-resolution-config.plist folder for 1366x768 display
take from high-resolution-config.plist folder for 1600x900 or + display
- /drivers64UEFI
use the folder from this repository (with 4 files only!)
- /kexts
Remove everything except other (leave it empty)
- /ACPI/patched:
(OPTION 1 Difficult - but recommended) Make your own SSDT and DSDT:
-> First you'll need the vanilla .aml generated by your UEFI (BIOS)
When in the clover boot menu press F4 (and Fn+F4 just in case)
That’s it. You can find the files needed in EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/origin
-> Then disassemble the DSDT.aml and SSDT’s.aml (0, 1, 2 etc…) only:
never open these files directly with MacIASL, as it will actually ruin them
instead copy the .aml's to their own directory with the refs.txt from tools/iasl
use the iasl command in terminal (see tools/iasl/howTo.txt)
-> patch your DSDT.dsl with all the code from file “…-dsdt-patch.txt” using MacIASL
it includes only the necessary code to Thinkpad T430
* choose low resolution for 1366 x 762
* choose high resolution for 1600 x 900 or +
-> patch with "fan patch/t430-fan-patch.txt" DSDT file using maciASL.
-> manually last patch for screen turn on after wake (Warning! It’s a manual change)
on your .dsl find for “Return (WAKI)”
In the method calls above "Return (WAKI)" you'll find:
\_SB.PCI0.LPC.EC.LED(Zero, 0x80)
\_SB.PCI0.LPC.EC.LED(0x07, 0x00)
substitute these two lines with:
\_SI._SST (One)
\_GPE._L1D ()
(identation must be at the same depth as the substituted lines):
-> Use MacIASL to save as ACPI Machine Language Binary (DSDT.aml)
and copy file to ACPI/patched on the clover UEFI
-> Generate your own SSDT (Power Management for your processor)
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/quick-guide-to-generate-a-ssdt-for-cpu-power-management.177456/
-> Put the SSDT.aml on the same folder of DSDT: ACPI/patched inside clover UEFI
(OPTION 2 Easy One - Not recommended) take my patched files .aml:
->take ONLY the .aml files from “pached ACPI dsl’s” folder
* choose only one SSDT.aml: “i5 3230M” or “i7 3632QM”
* if you have another processor make your own SSDT or leave it empty
-> Put the .aml files on the folder: ACPI/patched inside clover UEFI
- Make a backup of AppleBacklight.kext (Brightness)
Why? for future updates you need to reinstall the original and then reinstall the pached
** Warning!, the backlight kext inside kexts folder is patched for T430 brightness full range control
- Now, install all the kexts from the folder using “Kext Utility.app” (look inside tools folder)
- Be sure to use ACPIPoller.kext from this repo because it uses a modified Info.plist
- Go to the voodoo's' folder with the terminal
sudo cp org.rehabman.voodoo.driver.Daemon.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons
sudo cp VoodooPS2Daemon /usr/bin
- After restarting you need to flush the kexts:
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /
- Restart again to hear the audio working!
- Repeat the process if nescessary
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /
- Restart Again!
* If you keep having problems, try disabling the option 'No Cache' in config.plist and restart again.
- Put the HWMONITOR from tools folder in Applications and open it, you should read power, clock, and temps of your CPU
-> Disable Hibernation and related options
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo mkdir /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo pmset -a standby 0
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
And that's it! You're done. (Hopefully.) =)
-> ThiagoSchetini modified some original patches from Rehabman:

-> included FN brightness keys (T430 only)
[usb] USB3_PRW 0x0D (instant wake)
-> to have sleep working (original Rehabman code)
[audio] Audio Layout 29
-> to work with the ALC269 kext (original Rehabman code)
[sys] IRQ Fix
-> to enable audio (original Rehabman code)
[igpu] Low Resolution (or High)
-> to enable HDMI display port audio out
[manual] Code change on .dsl to turn on screen automatically on wake
-> repair permissions:
sudo /usr/libexec/repair_packages --repair --standard-pkgs --volume /
-> rebuild kext cache
sudo rm -r /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
sudo kextcache -update-volume /
-> rebuild cache short form
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /
on /usr/local/bin/clover-genconfig > config.plist
execute and take the xml
