  1. Android
Well, I can't install macOS Sequioa (Yes its sequoia now, I dont like sonoma and Airportitlwm is now available for sequoia)
Its the same laptop
NVIDIA mX150
Lenovo Ideapad 520 15IKB 81BF 8GB RAM 1TB HDD 512GB SSD.
Intel i5-8250U
intel 8265 dual band wifi+bt card

Now I have the following problems:
1. I need internet in recovery for installation. So i need Airportitlwm to get working. [It supports my card] But it creates the following issues:
-> It causes macOS to get stuck at logo/loading bar
-> Or sometimes (rarely) it boots and I can see wifi logo but inside there's no network. It is blank.
-> I tried Sonoma and Sequoia it doesn't work. Forcing IO80211Family doesnt do anything.

Note: Above is not a big issue I can manage using HorNDIS.kext

2. Touchpad is not working. I have only 2 USB Ports. 1 is used by pendrive. The other port I can attach either MOUSE or Phone for internet. At the moment my USB HUB is broken.
Adding the VoodooRMI.kext throws up Kernel Panic. So what should i do?! 😭
NOTE: HORNDIS ALSO NOT WORKING, USB THETHERING GIVES NO ETHERNET STILL


Latest EFI attached for reference.

I am sorry, but pinning you ;) @EliteMacx86 (i really love it lol donno why)

What's the exact issue? No interent during Recovery?

2. Laptop's Synaptic Touchpad is not working. I have only 2 USB Ports. 1 is used by pendrive. The other port I can attach either MOUSE or Phone for internet. At the moment my USB HUB is broken.
IMPORTANT: Adding the VoodooRMI.kext does NOTHING. So what should i do?! 😭

3: HorNDIS is working but unfortunately I have 2 USB ports, 1 has Pendrive. I tried attaching phone for internet and it works, but at the last step to click continue, mouse is required, and tab/enter/space no buttons work. If I attach mouse for a second by removing internet, internet error throws up.

Above are the 3 problems I am facing.


It would be nice if u had a way to get me download the full macOS sequoia installer image from windows or get my wifi working or get my touchpad working

Post install task. You would need to determine whether its on PS/2 or I2C bus and then appropriate kext should be installed.

You can use USB to Ethernet WiFi Adapter!

There is a way, yet to document. But you can actually do it as you're already having a Ryzen with macOS. xD

Can I use the Olarila Sequoia Vanilla image?,
Actually I'm out of town so I don't have access to my PC rn (I'm so happy to hear "ryzen with macos 🥲"). Otherwise I'd have done that.

I can directly use ethernet lol never thought of that.
Edit: Tried that the cable is 1000yrs old and doesn't work lol.

Oh okay.

Ok I'll read it. (Ur guide says "Sequoia and later" lol)
 
Okay, so no issues are resolved as touchpad is post install process.

Airportitlwm won't work right now, as in ur guide.
ITLWM can't work in recovery.

@EliteMacx86 YOU PLEASE USING YOUR MAC, create the installer DMG and provide that to me via Google drive or if possible, one drive (it's best and fastest download and upload) please please please please 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺

Its your choice. Who are we to stop you from using anything? xD

Get a new cable. Is not that expensive. xD

The theory will apply to the next release as well, probably.
