Hi guys, a few days ago I hacked my Lenovo AMD 5600H to monterey and unexpectedly upgraded it straight to sonoma 14.7.2 smoothly. So I’m sharing the EFI for anyone with the same configuration to refer to :v
Xcode, Docker runs fine (using virtualbox instead of hypervisor 🙁)
Sleep tested plugged in overnight 🙂, still good, no overheating when sleeping

Hi there!! thank you so much for sharing the correct EFI, i’ve just installed macos sonoma on lenovo, everything works except wifi and bluetooth obv, but strange thing i can’t use my internal keyboard (i’m current using external keyboard) and can’t boot on macos if i don’t use usb installer with bootloader inside to boot up macos. what should i do now?
EDIT. i resolved bootloader problem and installed on nvme. but now i have to resolve only the internal keyboard that doesn’t work
