Rohan Sahay edited this page May 17, 2020 · 2 revisions

Overview

The purpose of this guide is to provide a step-by-step guide to installing El Capitan/Sierra on the Lenovo u4170/s4170.


My machine is a u4170 with Samsung 850 EVO SSD, and a TENDA WiFi USB adaptor.

What you need

  • Lenovo U4170
  • OS X El Capitan or Sierra downloaded from the Mac App Store
  • 8GB USB stick
  • (optional) 32GB USB stick for Lenovo OEM backup
  • preferred (optional) Broadcom BCM94352 for native WiFi
  • (optional) Atheros AR9280 WiFi (AR5BHB92) for native WiFi

git clone https://github.com/brosahay/Lenovo-U4170-DSDT-Patch u4170.git
cd u4170
./download.sh
make
./install_downloads.sh
make install

CLOVER CONFIG

To use the final config.plist from the u4170 repo.

First, mount the EFI partition: cd ~/u4170.git
sudo ./mount_efi.sh /

Then copy the file: cp config.plist /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover/config.plist

NOTE: Edit the final config.plist to reflect your RAM.It's set to 8192MB aka 8GB
