⚠️ Disclaimer

This guide is only for the Lenovo ThinkPad T480. I am NOT responsible for any harm you cause to your device. This guide is provided "as-is" and all steps taken are done at your own risk.

The ACPI patches and the style of this README are from EETagent.

Important

Intel WiFi with Airportitlwm currently doesn't work under macOS Sequoia! Use the HeliPort version instead.

Note

The instructions for installing macOS have been moved to the wiki.

 

💻 Tested devices

Some users have reported that similar ThinkPads are compatible with this OpenCore configuration. Here is a list of these devices:

Introduction

EFI folders

This repo includes multiple EFI configuations for different macOS Versions.

EFI Description Type
EFI Supports macOS Monterey, Ventura, Sonoma & Sequoia (using Airportitlwm) Stable
EFI - HeliPort Supports every macOS Version except Ventura, Require HeliPort app Stable

Download HeliPort app »

💻 My Hardware
These are the Hardware component I use. But this OpenCore configuation should still work with your device, even if the components are not equal.

Check the model of your WiFi & Bluetooth card. Intel cards should be compatible with itlwm (or AirportItlwm). If your card is from another manufacturer, please check if your card supports macOS. macOS Sonoma no longer supports Broadcom Wifi cards.
