USB Preparation (8 GB+)

  • Open disk utility, select USB

    Disk Utility

Insert EFI folder

Once Finished, there should be an EFI partition on your desktop
If not:

  • diskutil list
    Find EFI for your usb
  • sudo diskutil mount /dev/diskXsX
    EFI will be in Finder or on Desktop

If/When there is:

  • Move contents of EFI folder (from this repo in EFI.zip) into this partition

Install through USB

  • Plug in USB, Boot T430, hit F12 on startup
  • In boot menu, boot from your USB
  • In Clover, navigate with arrow keys to the Options, hit enter on boot options, type -v, hit enter again, return
  • Boot the USB
  • Once prompted, open disk utility, format drive as APFS w/ GUID if using an SSD, macOS Extended Journaled w/ GUID if using a HDD
  • Takes a while, once done, close with the red button, install MacOS to your target drive
  • Once done, screen will probably go black & reboot 3/4 through installer, its done installing
  • Boot the USB, in clover, select your target drive

Install Clover on Your Target Drive

  • This is so you no longer need to boot with USB
  • Get clover installer pkg onto your computer, I did this through USB or ethernet
  • Install with the same options as the USB, this time to our target drive
  • Follow "Insert EFI folder" but with the target drive instead of the USB
