Before you bail on Windows, make sure to patch your BIOS to get WiFi working.

This is the Wi-Fi card I have: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LP52BNI/

I cannot speak for THAT motherboard, but some like the ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-G will work with mPCIe cards like this. See Hackintosher layout an entire build with it.

The better option I think is still this card: Fenvi FV-T919 - you can find it at NewEgg and AliExpress, both sold by Fenvi.

I got this one from Amazon, because I needed to have one that would tripleboot Mac/windows/peppermint Linux:

It works fine, and it only cost $12, but I think there are even faster and better ones available.

I think you probably should first update your bios to allow non-whitelisted cards before you buy anything though.


Edit: if MacOs compatibility is key, here is some info on three possible cards. Like I said, I picked the cheapest, and it works, but it is not super-fast: http://x220.mcdonnelltech.com/

So far, the only thing that won't work is wifi. You have to replace the Intel card in the T420 with a compatible one (I used a Dell Wireless 1510 (DW1510), or you can use a USB wifi adapter.

The problem with booting without the flash drive is probably related to the EFI partition on your hard drive not being set up correctly. Try mounting the EFI partition with a program like Clover Configurator and confirm that everything is on the partition inside the folder entitled EFI. You've probably already seen it, but the guide here has everything you need for macOS on the T420.

A good guide to get iMessage working is available here.

Two WiFi adapters that will work out-of-the-box in the T420 and require no configuration whatsoever in macOS are the Dell DW1510 and Dell DW1515. You will need to install a modified BIOS without the WiFi whitelist to use either one of these cards. That modified BIOS is available here.

I'm using High Sierra on my x220 right now. I flashed the BIOS to get the wifi whitelist and spent less than $10 on the wifi card.

I put 8gb of RAM in it because it performs better and I was trying to address some video artifacts. It might have helped, but I still get video artifacts sometimes (like a line across the screen). It's not that bad, just a little annoying. It isn't a hardware issue, it doesn't happen in Ubuntu.

The battery life is comparable to Ubuntu and it's a new 9-cell, so it's pretty good. CoconutBattery on OSX doesn't seem to report the right number of cycles, though.

The screen brightness is a bit of an issue for me. I can't figure out how to get it to step down as dim as other OSes do. It will go from about 30% brightness to off. I want those steps in there for using it in a dark room.

iMessage is a bit of a pain to get working. I think I got lucky to find a generated serial number that worked but was invalid.

I followed this to do the install and I think this to get iMessage working. But Clover had changed a bit so I don't think that guide is perfect anymore.

Overall I like it. I have a MacBook Pro for work and the gestures on the trackpad are really good. On the ThinkPad the gestures don't always work and honestly I just turn off the trackpad most of the time (PrtSc is the shortcut!) and just use the trackpoint.

It's a fun project, in any case!

Thanks! Yeah, I swapped out the mini adapter on my Hackintosh workstation with this. Is there any way to find out if the motherboard allows the replacement of the adapter, and if the replacement will work with the motherboard?

u/Grenndel · 1 pointr/thinkpad

This card works fantastic! Amazon.com link

I followed a guide on http://x220.mcdonnelltech.com/ to make my hackintosh. It solved any problems I had.

u/apostulates · 1 pointr/hackintosh

The stock wifi cards that shipped with the T420s will not work with macOS.

You need to flash the modified BIOS that will bypass Lenovo's "whitelist" check and then install an alternate wifi card that is compatible.

An inexpensive wifi card that is compatible with macOS and will just work out of the box in the T420s without any configuration is the Dell DW1510. This is probably the most popular Mini PCIe hackintosh wifi card available. This card will also work fine under Windows or Linux.

u/michaelp01332 · 1 pointr/hackintosh

As I said before, the three I suggested are known to be supported by Mac OS. However, the DW1550 allows for Continuity/Handoff, should you need those features. A guide for that can be found here, though it may be quite difficult for newcomers (not to insult your intelligence).

Personally, I use the DW1510, which can be found here for a little under $11. I was very happy with the ease of use, and as soon as I put in the network password, it was good to go.

What laptop is it that you're using, out of curiosity? Do you know the model number? Hopefully, I could better help you if I knew.

Again, good luck!

EDIT: Clarity

u/Poker1059 · 1 pointr/hackintosh

Now, the WiFi won't work with the current card that's in it correct?

What's a good card that for sure works and is compatible? A guy in an iOS Jailbreaking Discord sent me this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LP52BNI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_kRvtAbZ8813M7) but he only said it "should" work.
