Tutorial and configuration about creating hackintosh using OpenCore for Lenovo Ideapad S340-15iwl

Ideapad-S340-15iwl-Hackintosh

Introduction

This is my second hackintosh project. This hackintosh configuration is built for Lenovo Ideapad S340-15iwl. This repository is intended for educational purpose. Personally, I don't have much money for buying mac device, so... this is my approach.

Laptop Configuration

SMBIOS: MacBookPro15,4

Hardware

Category	Component
CPU	Intel i5-8265u
GPU	UHD 620
NVME	WD SN520
Wireless Card	BCM93450ZAE

BIOS Configuration

Settings	Value
fastboot	disabled
Secure Boot	disabled
Intel PTT	disabled
CSM	disabled
SATA Mode	AHCI
VT-d	disabled
Intel SGX Mode	disabled
Above 4G decoding	disabled
CFG Lock	disabled

Kext

Name	Version
AirportBrcmFixup	2.1.5
AppleALC	1.7.2
BrcmPatchRAM	2.6.2
BrightnessKeys	1.0.2
CPUFriend	1.2.5
NVMeFix	1.0.9

Advanced BIOS Menu

Fully power off the laptop. Enter the BIOS by pressing F2 at boot. Power off the laptop again. Quickly enter the following code:

     F1 → 1 → Q → A → Z
     
     F2 → 2 → W → S → X
     
     F3 → 3 → E → D → C
     
     F4 → 4 → R → F → V
     
     F5 → 5 → T → G → B
     
     F6 → 6 → Y → H → N

Power on the laptop while pressing F2 at boot. You'll see a lot of debug options. Don't mess with them. We only need to change this settings.

Config	How-to
CFG-LOCK	Advanced → Power & Performance → CPU-Power Management Control → CPU Lock Configuration → CFG Lock → Disabled
Above 4G decoding	Advanced → System Agent Conf → Above 4GB MMIO BIOS assigment -> disabled
VT-d	Advanced → System Agent Conf → VT-d → disabled

Exit and Save, and your laptop is ready to install.

OpenCore Config Before Installation

1 : Creating USB Installation - open

2 : Disable dGPU - open

If your laptop have discrete GPU, disable it first. MacOS Doesn't have support for those laptop's dGPU

3 : Wireless Card Configuration

• First Option
  Change to BCM93450ZAE

• Second Option ^* HARD
  Using ProperTree open config.plist

  Kernel → Add → BundlePath == "AirportBrcmFixup.kext" → Enabled = False
  
  Kernel → Add → BundlePath == "AirportBrcmFixup.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortBrcmNIC_Injector.kext" → Enabled = False
  
  Kernel → Add → BundlePath == "BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext" → Enabled = False
  
  Kernel → Add → BundlePath == "BrcmFirmwareData.kext" → Enabled = False
  
  Kernel → Add → BundlePath == "BrcmPatchRAM3.kext" → Enabled = False
  
  DeviceProperties → Add → PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1D,0x2)/Pci(0x0,0x0) → *DELETE*
  

  After that, follow this itlwm tutorial

  ^*For intel wireless card

4 : Generate New Serial using GenSMBIOS

Type: MacBookPro15,4

Using ProperTree open config.plist

PlatformInfo → Generic → MLB = GenSMBIOS:Board Serial

PlatformInfo → Generic → ROM = Your Wireless Card MAC Address without ":"

PlatformInfo → Generic → SystemSerialNumber = GenSMBIOS:Serial

PlatformInfo → Generic → SystemUUID = GenSMBIOS:SmUUID

5 : Copy your edited EFI folder to USB

6 : Have fun with your installation

Fixing Audio Jack after sleep

This is common problem for ALC 295. After sleep, usually OS (windows/linux) send some signal to reactivate audio jack. But, in this case (hackintosh) that thing doesn't happen. So, we need to send that signal manually after every wakeup. Fortunately, we have tool to automated that.
