[Exclusive Guide] Install macOS Sierra on Lenovo Y50-70 (1080p-UHD)

In this article, I will show you how to install macOS Sierra on Lenovo Y50/Y50-70/Y40 using Clover UEFI. The complete guide of macOS Sierra 10.12 on Lenovo Y50 laptops. This method is using the clover EFI and the guide below is experienced on Lenovo Y50-70. The aim of the article is to[Exclusive Guide] Install macOS Sierra on Lenovo Y50 (1080p-UHD) provide you a full step by step guide installing macOS Sierra or El Capitan, it;s works for both because there aren’t many differences. But still, there are some problems that we hope developers fix them as soon as possible.

Remember: This particular guide is for Lenovo Y50-70 but it works for Y40-70 and Y50. Also for both 1080p HD and UDH/4K also because the drivers are pretty the same and work on all. Also, this guide is named for macOS Sierra but it also works great for Mac OS X El Capitan.

Requirements:

Note: All guide and link for the Requirements are linked down below.

macOS Sierra or El Capitan downloaded from the App Store
8 GB or Higher USB Flash Drive (Get it Now)

Creating USB Installer

Firstly, You need to create bootable USB installer for macOS Sierra to install it on the Lenovo laptop. The process of creating bootable USB installer for macOS Sierra or El Capitan is a little bit long, so due to this, we have managed in separate articles to create bootable USB. Now all you have to do is, follow one of the way below to create bootable USB installer for macOS Sierra.

Tip: If you don’t have access to macintosh (Macbook) then you can install macOS on VMware then follow the Unibeast guide on your Windows 7/8/10.

Important Note: After creating USB Installer via unibeast then you need to copy ApplePS2SmartTouch kext(TouchPad), VoodooPs2Controller kext (Keyboard) and FakeSMC kext to the USB Installer. First Mount the EFI partition of USB via Clover configurator then copy and paste it EFI > Clover > Kexts > other. When you boot from USB then your touchpad and keyboard will work, otherwise, you need an external mouse & keyboard to complete the installation Process.

Copy the kext to USB Installer

Blank Space for macOS 10.12

So before getting started you need at least 20 GB empty partition disk space to install macOS Sierra on that volume. If you have already then made you sure you have copied or moved your data before continuing to install macOS on that volume drive because it will clean and disappeared from your Windows. So in short, I want to say that you need a free empty partition or vacant HDD or SSD to install macOS Sierra on it. If don’t own any of them then create an empty partition drive by the article below or buy an HDD or SSD right now.

Post Installation

Now after installing macOS Sierra on your Lenovo Y50-70, this part is very tricky and important. Because you might face some problems after the installation, like sound and Wi-Fi isn’t working, no internet connection and the most important that you are unable to boot into macOS Sierra without the USB Installer then you need a post installation.

Installing Edimax Driver (Wi-Fi Solution)

After installing macOS Sierra 10.12 on your laptop then you may have big problem with Wi-Fi because it disappeared completely from the settings. So you can connect to the internet via cable or a wifi dongle, like Edimax EW-7811un. So if you have the already the item to install the driver, download the installer files from the like below then open it and install it by clicking continue a couple of times and type your password and hit enter to confirm installation process.

Download Edimax EW-7811un Driver

Install Edimax Wireless USB Adapter driver

Installing bootloader

This step is recommended to do before anything else because later the kext have to save here. Also if you don’t do this, you won’t be able to boot into macOS Sierra by the disk itself. For booting in maOS Sierra still, you will need to use the USB installer, though you aren’t using it install macOS Sierra. So it one of the most important and easy tasks that you have to do here.

#1. Download the Clover EFI Bootloader.

#2. Open Clover EFI then click Continue to Introduction & Read Me page.

Clover EFI Introduction Page

#3. One the Installation type page, make you sure you have you have selected the right disk to install the bootloader on it. After that click Customise.

Installation Type

#4. Make you sure the following options are check marked.

– Install for UEFI booting only
– Install Clover in the ESP
– Dirvers64UEFI > OsxAptioFixDrv-64

Install Custom Packages

#5. Now this time Download and copy HFSPlus.efi to EFI > Clover > drivers64UEFI folder, finally click authenticate and enter your Password. Make you sure that you have mounted the EFI partition of the disk which bootloader is installed on it.

Place HFSPlus.efi

Installing & Fixing All other tasks

Now here, I will show you how to install and fix all other drives, remember the commands below are entered in the terminal and works great. All you have to do is copy and paste this commands in your terminal.

#1. Firstly, to make all these things happen we need the developer tools, so open terminal and type the following Command.

git

Install Developer Tools

#2. After the developer tool is installed then run the commands below in the terminal to download or copy all the important file from GitHub to your mac drive.

mkdir ~/Projects
cd ~/Projects
git clone https://github.com/RehabMan/Lenovo-Y50-DSDT-Patch y50.git

#3. Now this time paste the commands below to your terminal to download and install the required kext and drivers on your laptop.

cd ~/Projects/y50.git
 ./download.sh
 ./install_downloads.sh

#4. After running the above commands a restart is not bad to understand what works and not.

#5. To finish the setup, we need a correctly patched DSDT/SSDT, these patches are created specially for this kind of laptops. So If you return from a restart, copy & paste the following commands into your terminal. If no then same but without first line.

cd ~/Projects/y50.git
 make
 make install

Power Management

For power management use the ssdtPRgen.sh script by Pike R. Instructions for using it are provided in the README. When you run the commands below then it will place the generated SSDT.aml to /EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched/SSDT.aml, it’s current instructions at the README. So you need to run the following commands.

#1. Open terminal then copy & paste this command, it will download the file into your Lenovo laptop.

cd ~/Projects/y50.git
curl -o ./ssdtPRGen.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh/master/ssdtPRGen.sh
chmod +x ./ssdtPRGen.sh

#2. So now the files should be downloaded, run the command below to apply it to your laptop.

./ssdtPRGen.sh

#3. After running the command above then it will ask if you want to copy to /Extra? So respond with “n” to cancel the operation. Same respond “n” for opening ssdt.dsl.

#4. You can find the result at ~/Library/ssdtPRgen/SSDT.aml now copy then the same ssdt.aml file and paste it on /EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched/SSDT.aml. You can do it graphically if you wish but also run the command below to finish it in a moment.

cd ~/Projects/y50.git
sudo ./mount_efi.sh /
cp ~/Library/ssdtPRgen/ssdt.aml /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched/SSDT.aml

Patch IOKit framework (UHD/4K only)

If you have a UHD/4K display you have to patch IOkit framework.So run the command below to patch IOkit framework.

cd ~/Projects/y50.git
curl -o XPS9530.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/the-darkvoid/XPS9530-OSX/master/XPS9530.sh
chmod +x XPS9530.sh
./XPS9530.sh --patch-pixelclock

Place the Config.plist

If you have successfully completed the steps above, so now you are good to go with the following steps. Because if you place this config.plist file into your UEFI bootloader and there are not the files that you use above, it can’t work properly then your laptop might face some terrible issues.

#1. Firstly, you have to mount the EFI partition of your laptop, where the Clover files are placed. To mount EFI you can use clover configurator or the command below.

cd ~/Projects/y50.git
sudo ./mount_efi.sh /

#2. Now you need to copy the config.plist file from /Projects/y50.git then paste/replace it with /EFI/EFI/Clover/config.plist. So If you have 1080p display then rum this command.

cd ~/Projects/y50.git
cp config.plist /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover/config.plist

#3. If you have a UHD/4K display then run the command below.

cd ~/Projects/y50.git
cp config_UHD.plist /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover/config.plist

Troubleshooting

After updating your Hackintosh then the settings and patches might lose the correct configuration and the laptop might stop working properly. So after the updates you need to fix it manually.

Fixing Sound & Display

If you have applied all the settings above then you sound isn’t working then you need to follow this the steps below. This happens after installing new/updated kexts or after the initial installation, you may lose audio, So need to bring it back to the cache. Also if you have a UHD/4K display then you need to bring the patches to cache by the steps below.

#1. Make you sure you have installed then audio kext and patches for your laptop. After that restart your laptop and on the clover, menu hit space bar then boot with without caches. Get help to from here to boot without caches.

How to Boot Correctly into Bootable USB Installer of macOS Sierra?

#2. Now rebuild the cache, open terminal and run the following command. This command makes the audio in the cache to start working again.

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

#3. Restart your laptop normally, if needed, two times.

Also, It’s possible to fix you sound by VoodoHDA. So download VoodoHDA.kext and Install it by kext utility or Easy Kext Pro then restart your laptop to get the result. (if needed two times)

Update the patched repos

When a major update comes to the Mac OS and after installing new updates then you need to update the repo project. So need re-patch DSDT/SSDT with the commands below.

#1. Open terminal and run the following commands. It will download and install all the update kexts, patches, scripts and much more.

cd ~/Projects/y50.git
git pull
./download.sh
./install_downloads.sh
./update_config.sh
make
make install

Hello!
this may be a noob question, but is this guide applicable to any version of MacOS? (specifically High Sierra MacOS 10.13 and/or the upcomming Mojave) If not, will updating from Sierra to High Sierra once the OS is already installed work?
1. Faiz Orz Post authorAugust 31, 2018 at 3:53 PM Reply
  
  Hello, No dear updating or upgrading will cause a lot of problem and need so much time to fix it one by one. So it not recommended to update the OS to High Sierra or Mojave unless there is an exclusive guide.

  Yes it does. All you have to do is download an nvidia driver from Safari. When you open it, it may say that your version is not compatible. The solution to this is to lookup the version it tells you that your laptop is on.

Hi guys,,
Any fix for bluetooth chopping?
I have it working but when I use my hp 7000 bluetooth headphone the voice is not stable at all 🙁

  Google and search how to fix HD 7000 Bluetooth Headphone sound on Hackintosh.
  1. Mohammed Helewa July 11, 2017 at 11:39 PM
    
    It’s not related to the headphone my friend. The problem exists for every device I connect using bluetooth like mice and keyboards 🙂
  2. Faiz Orz Post authorJuly 13, 2017 at 10:49 AM
    
    That’s right. I just wrote it as an example.

Hi there! First thank you for your wonderful guide, I set up my hackintosh very easily and I’m very happy of this new beast! I have some issues though, first energy saving: my Lenovo running Mac battery life is about 1h and 30, do you have any software solution? Changing the battery could make it? It is recognized by macOS as an iMac 2013, changing this a macbook model can optimize battery life and hardware? second how can I make Nvidia or intel hd works? thank you!!!
1. Faiz Orz Post authorJuly 9, 2017 at 10:22 AM Reply
  
  Use Clover Configurator to change mac model and download and install the Nvidia driver from here to make it work: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201260
  1. asr July 10, 2017 at 3:25 AM
    
    which model should i choose? and how can i setup the nvidia graphics? the nvidia driver manager preferences doesn’t show me any card, and the mac info show me ”Monitor 7 MB” as graphic card… and i have some glitchies using chrome or youtube, i think its graphics… thanks in advance
  2. Faiz Orz Post authorJuly 10, 2017 at 9:57 PM
    
    When the Nvidia Preferences, pops up then go ahead and install it, there is no need to select a particular card. For the graphics issue, you need to redo the steps that are mentioned above and replace the config.plist file with your current Bootloader config.plist.

Usb 2.0 mouse randomly stop responding, only unplug and plug again works fine. The issue appears randomly and infrequently. Any idea?
1. Mukhtar Jafari June 7, 2017 at 10:52 AM Reply
  
  There is away. When you create bootable USB for macOS then you have to put the mouse and keyboard Kext to the USB and the mouse, a keyboard will work during installation.
  1. Sidaphextwin June 7, 2017 at 8:24 PM
    
    Then you suggest install mouse kext from Usb instalation directly in Multibeast? I thought that the kext files that I put in the Usb were installed by default
  2. Mukhtar Jafari June 7, 2017 at 8:44 PM
    
    You can install mouse and keyboard Kext after installation but during installation, you have to use external mouse & Keyboard.
  3. Sidaphextwin June 7, 2017 at 9:03 PM
    
    Yes, I already have. I followed the tutorial and I have installed Sierra without any problem. Everything works great. The only annoying question is the one I mentioned above. Sometimes the usb mouse stops working, it happens rarely.

I currently have El capitan running on my lenovo y50 70. Is it hard to update to Sierra? i’ve been on the tonymacx forum, but it’s quite the information jungle out there.

    The battery Kext can be installed later to make it work after other post-installation tasks finished.

  Yes, You must use the USB Key.
Andrea April 25, 2017 at 11:58 PM Reply

I download this:
Important Note: After creating USB Installer via unibeast then you need to copy ApplePS2SmartTouch kext(TouchPad), VoodooPs2Controller kext (Keyboard) and FakeSMC kext to the USB Installer. First Mount the EFI partition of USB via Clover configurator then copy and paste it EFI > Clover > Kexts > other. When you boot from USB then your touchpad and keyboard will work, otherwise, you need an external mouse & keyboard to complete the installation Process.

But i can’t download de config , can help me please?

    Thanks for the driver Faiz. It want me to update my system to 10.12.3. So I want to ask if update will override what we did here? If so how to solve this problem. Another question is were did you found this driver so I could search for previous versions.
    Thanks a lot 🙂
  2. Mohammed Helewa April 5, 2017 at 10:16 PM
    
    I’v updated to 10.12.4 and installed the driver successfully and the Nvidia driver manager shows that Driver from Nvidia web is selected. But yet photoshop not detected the card nor it shows in mac info

Hi, I have encountered a problem after the installation. I have managed to install all features and the laptop can boot with USB bootloader. however when I use HD bootloader the screen fades to black during the loading screen. I have recorded a video about the problem. could you please suggest what I should do to fix it, please? many thanks.
1. Faiz Orz Post authorFebruary 28, 2017 at 10:52 PM Reply
  
  Hey dear, Boot with the USB Installer then Reinstall the graphics driver and change your bootloader config.plist. If the USB Installer works perfect for you, then you can use that config.plist file.
2. Mohammed Helewa April 5, 2017 at 4:41 PM Reply
  
  I faced the same problem and solve it by removing the content of EFI of my hard drive and replace it with EFI from my USB the redo the process of #3 from “Installing bootloader”
  Hope this may work for you too
  1. Mohammed Helewa April 5, 2017 at 4:44 PM

Hi There.
Im studying your guide ’cause I want install MacOS on my lenovo but i Didnt understand 2 steps.
1-after the installation (all steps) the OS will start with or without the usb with Sierra ISO??
2-The internal Wifi chipset will works or i’ll need forever the USBadapter?
Thx a lot for the reply

1. Faiz Orz Post authorJanuary 6, 2017 at 8:45 AM Reply
  
  After the restart, I will boot with the USB Installer but when I get the Sierra desktop, I install a Bootloader to boot without the USB Installer.
  The Internal Wifi Chipset isn’t compatible with macOS then You can change the Chipset to make it work or keep the USBAdapter forever.

    Yes, that’s right you have to boot with the nv_disable=1 boot flag. But it’s not going to fix the problem, you will be able to boot into USB installer or macOS Sierra drive.
