Easiest way to Hackintosh a ThinkPad T470?
He made a nice tool that can also be used to update: https://github.com/rusty-bits/octool

I'm making a kext updater, because half of the time spent maintaining a hackintosh is keeping it up to date.
just use my octool if you want something that just works without needing a "fancy" GUI on it like OCAT
- What OS is support on .70?
- For those that use octool, or perhaps for those that have wanted to try it out, I have just added a simple picture guide that shows some basic usage. I think a few more pictures need to be added, but it's a start.

When do you choose to update your OpenCore bootloaders?
I wrote this https://github.com/rusty-bits/octool that takes care of everything, including adding or removing any changes in the config.plist and downloading the latest versions of the kexts and resources from Acidanthera and Dortania

Config possible to hackintoshed ?
I haven't updated that tool in months, you should switch to the new one that pulls all its resources from the sources listed in the guide. https://github.com/rusty-bits/octool

That's it, I have had it! Now I need some assistance...
next, make sure your copy of ProperTree is up to date, or you can use the latest version of my tool which has the benefit of downloading the proper resources for you, but it is not covered in the guide so I would recommend sticking with ProperTree since other people are more familiar with that

octool, a tool to help edit an OpenCore config.plist and make an EFI folder from the command line - now at version 0.3.3
I am rewriting octool in Rust to help me learn the Rust language. The latest release contains binaries for macOS, Windows, and Linux and should run fine and make an EFI folder without issue. Let me know if there are problems.

OC-tool updated for new released OpenCore 0.7.3 - may be last update for this version of the tool as I concentrate on writing the new version - octool
no real release notes on it yet, it's a total rewrite of the tool you can try it out here

Help ASUS ZenBook UX501J: OCB: LoadImage failed - Unsupported
HfsPlus.efi is missing, get that from this link and then put it in your Drivers folder: https://github.com/acidanthera/OcBinaryData/blob/master/Drivers/HfsPlus.efi

[HOW TO] OpenCore 0.8.8 > 0.8.9 differences
Fixed loading macOS with legacy boot without Apple Secure Boot: there is a new PE (Portable Executable) loader that broke legacy boot, blocking the loading of legacy drivers as HfsPlusLegacy and preventing OpenCore from booting on legacy systems when Apple Secure Boot is disabled. With this fix, legacy boot can work with or without Apple Secure Boot. This issue was detected after version 0.8.8 was released. While you are on 0.8.8, you must download the new versions of the drivers HfsPlusLegacy and ExFatDxeLegacy (the one/s that are necessary), available in Acidanthera. This is not required if you are on OpenCore 0.8.9.
- Someone please give download link to HfsPlus.efi download link. GitHub link is taking too long to load

Mac Pro 5,1 - OCLP - Windows UEFI - Help!
I'm able to download and open up the zip as instructed, but as far as dropping the "ExFatDxeLegacy.efi" file into the right location on my ESP (which I understand to be my boot drive, where OCLP was originally installed), I'm at a total loss.
