Please correspond with details and for further troubleshooting in the ProBook guide thread.

What do u mean details? Will talking in probook thread? What critical step I must first do?

Read ProBook guide, post #1, "Problem Reporting". Reply there, not here.

Never a good idea; remove 1st method before trying a 2nd method.
FakePCIID does both 2 and 3.
1 should not have been installed; use only if your system has the problem it fixes.

I think you may have been misled by the comment on 1. Although it said "#a", I was actually using the actual country code of my country in the patch. I thought that was compulsory.

Anyway, I still have the problem of the WiFi device not being recognised on boot. I notice that this always happens after a cold-boot (booting for the first time after the laptop has been off for a while). I just reboot and the next boot always recognises the card.

Right now, the other problem of "Internet not working after connecting to the Wireless network" is gone. Internet works right out of the box after booting (as long as the WiFi hardware is recognised).

When the WiFi hardware is not recognised, before rebooting, is there some log I can examine to help debug the issue?

If this is laptop hardware, you should open a thread in the appropriate laptop forum.

Hi.. I have 10.12.1 and a bcm94352z, Sierra is my first hackintosh, and I want to know if handoff works? becouse I see the icon, I clicked but does not work, and I wan to know, if I downgrade to 12.12 or 12.11 works? or exist a new patch? this is my config.plist. thanks

 

[toleda]

if I downgrade to 12.12 or 12.11 works?

If handoff worked previously, install the most recent working version.

I have a few question regarding to Airport Injection Methods/Enable WiFi

Plist guide PDF

Should I use the same string 'pci1434,43b1' for BCM94352 Z?

Step2.

Where is a? I see a similar one in config.plist/../KextsToPatch

Step3.

Where is directory Extra? /Volume or /EFI ? It seems I don't have it in either of them.

Screenshot 7b?

Step 4.

Which one should I look at for BCM94352 Z?

WIFI works without properly doing Step 2-4, but seems not stable and conflict with other kexts (PS2controller dies if I touch trackpad)

Yes. BCM94352Z is BCM94352 and they all have the same id, 43b1.

Where is a? I see a similar one in config.plist/../KextsToPatch

Plist files are in ZIPs in the github repo.

Where is directory Extra? /Volume or /EFI ? It seems I don't have it in either of them.

Clover does not use /Extra. That is for Chameleon based bootloaders.

Which one should I look at for BCM94352 Z?

SSDT to use would depend on the ACPI path of your WiFi device.

WIFI works without properly doing Step 2-4,

Your kextcache output shows FakePCIID kexts in use, which is adequate to get the WiFi working.
In addition to that, only the appropriate patch (for 5ghz or fcvo patch, depending on version) is needed.

but seems not stable and conflict with other kexts (PS2controller dies if I touch trackpad)

Off-topic. Open a separate thread in the appropriate laptop support forum.

Warning: non-root can't lock the volume for /
...

Indicates failure to use sudo when running kextcache.

so for clover, i should look at CLOVER/ACPI/oringin? and patch them as the way in your guide?
and if so, which patch should i use? the one from toleda or the one on your github repo?
