Hi, of course!. Here it is my config.plist
and right! I'm using the BCRM Patch ram 2 and BRCM Firmware Repo kexts with KextBeast.

If you are using a 94352 card, then you're missing a patch, add this via Clover Configurator:

AirPortBrcm4360
Find: 81F952AA00007529
Replace: 81F952AA00006690

Also, you're missing the MLB (Board Serial Number) in your SMBIOS. It is listed in the RT Variables section, but missing in SMBIOS. You should also be able to remove the memory settings as that will auto populate in the newer versions of Clover.
 
Hi There, and thanks to all: for this guide an releases!!
Its my first Hacki. I've tryed Sierra ... (Broadcom bcm94352z DW1560 -> wlan don't work, bluetooth ok (but system reboots), HD530 on Panasonic 4k with 1080p have to scale to see menus bar and top left menue bar with artefacts). So i decided to follow this instruction set here, and try it with el Capitan ... i strictly followed the complete instructions but with newest multibest823 in post1 -> success :)

i've taken the newest MultiBeast 8.2.3 and replaced the config.plist with h170n-wifi-intel-config.plist as described in post1 ...

Broadcom bcm94352z DW1560 with:
Brom2016-0705 and FakePCIID 2017-0104 -> works ("rebooting" not completly checked yet ..)

HD530, Geekbench4 Shows SKL Graphics, installed on top with multi beast HD530 -> Monitor up to 3840 x 2160 30hz :) @ my 4k Panasonic.

to get my 2x8 Gb Ram (first it shows only 8Gb) i updated clover directly from clover configurator, reboot ... it works (Slot0 8gb, Slot 2 8gb). FaceTime,IMessage... just fine.

Last thing which is buggy -> LAN Port under usb-c. Installed with Multibeast AppleGB v5.2.9.4. Connection will be lost, an if disconnect the cable -> directly reboot.

lan port with IntelMausi v.2.1.0d0. works :)

i'm happy, greetings from Germany

@hean - thank you for sharing. I'm also a first timer with a H170N but cannot get the DW1560 to work (after some 10 attempts, both 10.11 with this guide and 10.12) and was getting close to desperate. This gives me inspiration to try again.
 
Hello, could anybody tell if bluetooth on my mobo GA Z170N Gaming 5 would work at all with Sierra? At home we do not use wifi, so I dont really have the need to buy an extra card for both wifi and BT. I have been hours searching the forums but no concise info regarding the BT would work out of the box. I have two other builds at home using GA H97N-WIFI and BT works perfectly. Thanks a lot for your help!

I am also at a loss. I have built the exact machine per the above config. When I start the El Capitan install process, I get the Clover boot loader screen and it starts to install but it always stops halfway through and quits. I have removed the wifi card as someone suggested that but nothing changed. I have tried Sierra but I get a circle with slash when I begin the install process. I have a machine that works but I am unable to load the software.

Any suggestions would be of great help...I have done this several times before with other machines and never had this problem.

Thanks!

I did what you suggest, nothing changes!. No Bluetooth.
 
I am having some troubles with my Hackintosh. I originally had everything working perfect with El Capitan. WiFi, Bluetooth, Handoff, Unlock with Apple Watch everything was working great. I upgraded to Sierra a little bit ago and since then WiFi and Bluetooth both do not work. Bluetooth will look like it is showing devices and that it is working but it is not showing everything and can't connect to anything. WiFi on the other hand says that there is no hardware installed. I tried the fixes from this article
(https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/update-sierra-on-the-skylake-h170n-wifi.202847/) but nothing has worked so far. Not sure if I am missing anything or what. I have tried downloading new kexts for the WiFi and Bluetooth but still nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
