OpenCore Hackintosh EFI for Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IIL05
Based on the OpenCore bootloader; off of the OpenCorePkg made by acidanthera hosted on GitHub. Followed the Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide to get everything working from scratch for the best stability and compatibility! If you find my work useful, please consider supporting me at Ko-Fi❤️
WARNING/DISCLAIMER (VERY IMPORTANT): This EFI only supports running macOS Big Sur (11) to macOS Sequoia (15)! IT CURRENTLY DOES NOT SUPPORT TOUCHPAD IN MACOS SEQUOIA (15); BUT I WILL FIND A FIX SHORTLY! Fix has been found! I found the fix thanks to this issue in the official VoodooI2C GitHub made by dreamwhite; where somebody by the name of vedantmgoyal9 explains that using a specific artifact/release/build of VoodooInput.kext solves the problem :)! The fixed version of this EFI will be in the latest release (v1.0.1_r4)!
Prequisites
In order for Wi-Fi to work on macOS Sequoia (15), you MUST download & install an application named HeliPort.dmg from the HeliPort GitHub repository. It is also recommended that you install the latest release version of an app named YogaSMC from the YogaSMC GitHub repository. Double click the "YogaSMCPane.prefPane" file in the "YogaSMC-App-Release.dmg" file and drag the "YogaSMCNC.app" file to "Applications" folder.
