Pain Free Big Sur 11.6.8 Install on Yoga 730 13ikb!

SUCCESS

Only thing I changed out was was the wifi card to a $15 Intel 9260.

Everything else was stock including the Samsung PM961 OEM SSD. I was very surprised that everything went without a hitch given my SSD and wifi card.

The only thing things that doesn't work is my bluetooth (tbh the BT on this thing sucks anyways) and the brightness only has 4 true steps.

I used dragonflylee's config and only swapped out the wifi kext.

i5 8250u 8GB RAM UHD 620

Edit: Bluetooth now works with OpenIntelWireless!

Thanks for posting a success! If you haven't already, remember to document your build please. Success posts like screenshots without documentation add little value to the sub. Adding a bit of documentation to your success post can also help others in the community who are interested in similar builds.

Minimally, you should add your hardware:
CPU:
GPU:
RAM:
Motherboard/Laptop Make and Model:
Audio Codec:
Ethernet Card:
Wifi/BT Card:
Touchpad and touch display devices:
BIOS revision:
Which of the guides on the sidebar you used.
What's working, and what isn't working.

Any changes that were specific to your build that were a little (or a lot) different than what you found in the guide, or anything that would be helpful to others with a similar build be sure to talk about that. More detail is always better.

Add extra info... Maybe add something you would like to point out about your setup, what you'll be doing with your Hackintosh, or something that might be insightful to others beginning their journey. A tree view of your EFI would also be helpful, but it isn't required.

Remember, don't share your EFI as what works for you may not work for anyone else, even if they have the same hardware. If you do share your EFI, your post and/or comment will be removed.

You’ll be able to run Ventura on it eventually. That’s not an old CPU.

You could've been tried the itwl kext, WiFi on Big Sur is so buggy
