BrcmPatchRAM - Upload firmware into Broadcom Bluetooth USB devices

[RehabMan]

The kext patch is a mistake from me. I'm still working things out. When I boot verbose I get something exactly like this:

Apr 3 19:53:35 lightingdeMacBook-Pro kernel[0]: BrcmPatchRAM2: [0a5c:6412]: device request failed ("0xe00002ed (UNDEFINED)" 0xe00002ed).
Apr 3 19:53:35 lightingdeMacBook-Pro kernel[0]: BrcmPatchRAM2: [0a5c:6412]: Not responding - Delaying next read.

These 2 lines appear indefinitely and it doesn't boot at all then.

It is probably a USB configuration issue. Your profile is not even filled out correctly with your hardware details, so no ideas.

I've been going over USB over and over again I followed the Guide and am running InjectAll.kext + SSDT + exclusion via bootargs. The bluetooth port is set to 255. What could be the problem?

-uia_exclude not needed with correctly coded SSDT.
Your ACPI setup looks messy... abuse/incorrect use of ACPI/DSDT/Fixes... especially FixUSB_1000.

Handoff, hotspot, WiFi, AirDrop all off-topic here. This thread is only about firmware upload with BrcmPatchRAM.

Hi Rehabman,

I have OSX10.11.5 on Asrock Z170 Gaming I7 and I have installed it with the help of this thread (although this thread is for the similar model Z170 Gaming ITX with bundled BCM94352): https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...e-skylake-fatal1ty-z170-gaming-itx-ac.180383/

I have installed a BCM94352HMB into the Mini PCI-E slot.
WLAN is working perfect.
I have placed "BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext" and "BrcmPatchRAM2.kext" into /L/E and Bluetooth-Symbol is active, but the search for Bluetooth-devices doesn't find any devices.
There is an excerpt from the syslog (2 times of restart):

One time the firmware-upgrade was successful, the second time not needed, but in all 2 cases there is the message "uploadFirmware could not open the device".
What I'm doing wrong?

I have attached a zip with ioreg, console-commands and CLOVER-folder.

There is also an image of System->Information showing BT is there:

Hope you can have a look at it.
