Greetings Bizzaro, Thank you very much for you most generous contribution, its very kind of you to have documented all your efforts and shared them with us. Didakticheskie igri po valeologii dlya doshkoljnikov para. I can tell you that following your indications I was able to get my x230 running within a Sunday morning. For the last couple of weeks I have been running along with it as a 'mobile' workstation and I am very happy with it, so I am looking into solving the final issues I have, and perhaps contribute a little bit to the benefit of all. Regarding the wireless I tried to rebrand another wireless card to show as an airport extreme, only to hit the wall with the whitelist present in the lenovos. The current solution is to flash another BIOS with the whitelist removed.

Intel Centrino Advanced-n 6205 Agn Hackintosh. 2/16/2018 0 Comments I have MSI X-Slim x340 with Intel Link Wireless 5150 (Wi-Fi + WiMax). Installed Mac OS 10.5.7. Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6200. Support information for Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6200. Windows Inbox Drivers for Legacy Intel® Wireless Adapters. Provides information on inbox drivers for legacy Intel® Wireless Adapters on Windows 7*/8*/8.1* and Windows® 10.

As you might know, the x230 have signature procedure to prevent unauthorised flashes of the BIOS; I have tried to modify the firmware in the middle of the process to allow my device ID with no success (the version number gets increased but the check remains for the old ID, so I might be missing something). The other alternatives are to use coreboot (open source BIOS), but with this I loose the hardware encryption of the drive (OPAL), and since it is not possible to use filevault 2 with OSX86, and non-encrypted drive is not an option in my scenario, I have to rely on the Lenovo BIOS.

It is possible to flash it if you desolder the chip, flash a modified version and then use another card. You probably know this already, but in any case here it is. Im using the easy solution, external dongle with proprietary driver but I will not stop until this is fixed, even if I have to desolder the chip. Now, about the bluetooth, I found someone on reddit mentioning that the new bluetooth adapters for the lenovos (4.0 version) work out-of-the-box with OSX and will pass the BIOS whitelist. I will order one and check, if it works I will let you know, the part in question is FRU P/N: 60Y3303. Again, at the moment I am using the easy solution, external dongle with OSX kernel drivers (OOB).

Card reader: Low priority for me, saw some discussions about the fact that this might be a lost cause, so I am leaving this to a very very boring day, ie, I dont care. Fingerprint reader: My model does not have. VGA output: I think this might work (pre 10.8, now I am not sure), would be nice if it did, I might give it a go but again, using the easy fix, adapter for the mini-DP port. Sound issues after sleep: I experience the same thing as you mentioned, but its liveable, your fix works. Sleep LED: I had some contact with similar issues on other boards and OSs, might be fixeable. But anyway, this is just sharing some thoughts with you in case you have pursued anything in the last months about these issues.

Three quick questions though: Brightness control is not working for me. Through any method I have tried. Do you have any hint where the problem might be? I am sure I messed something up, would appreciate a pointer on this. The trackpad is sometimes slightly temperamental, no? I mean, it works nice, but its not the most rewarding experience.

Any hints on that as well? The screen, aren't you suspecting of some PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) on it? Don't your eyes get tired after a while? Hi, I'm using a X230 too, and for the wireless rebranding, I didn't touch the BIOS at all. Instead I've replaced the Intel Centrino N6205 with an Atheros AR5B95 wireless adapter (I've had a spare one).

And then, to pass the Lenovo whitelist control, I've flashed the Atheros wireless adapter EEPROM to match Device, Vendor ID & Subsystem IDs of the Intel. Then, in OSX, I've used FakeID tools, to put back the Atheros Device, Vendor ID & Subsystem IDs in place. If you have a spare Atheros wireless adapter, I can show you how, otherwise, yes it's mooore simpler to use a usb dongle;-) For the bluetooth, I use RehabMan BroadcomPatchRAM kexts, and it works well. For the brightness control, what OSX version do you use? Because, first I've tried Sierra (10.12) and it didn't worked, so I went back to the latest El Capitan (10.11.6), and it worked. Just add the 2 brightness methods for (Fn keys) into the DSDST. However, I do have a question regarding sound: did you install any extras kexts to make it work?
