enabled bluetooth in MacOS by editing the info.plist

Apologies for the delay replying
WiFi: Status: Off? FCC/XO is not valid, set correct Country Code

My wifi card's natural country code is X0, checked under System Information. So I used the 10.11+-BCM94352-5GHz-US-FCC-darkvoid patch

Name    AirPortBrcm4360
Find    41 83 FC FF 74 2C 48
Replace 66 C7 06 55 53 EB 2B

and confirmed under System Information that this had changed the country code to US, where I live, but the wifi still won't turn on.

As far as the bluetooth, I edited IOBluetoothFamily/Contents/Plugins/ BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport/Contents/Info.plist, opened IOKitPersonalities/BroadcomUSBBluetoothHCIController and edited idProduct from 33537, the vanilla entry, to 33427, the number I got from IORegistryExplorer for my card. This process enabled bluetooth.

Which is correct?

The BT is recognized, and appears has a USB BT with Chipset:20702B0
In the usb section is identified has BRCM20702 Hub -> Usb BT controller id: 0x828b man id: 0x05ac

But i can´t connect to my magic mouse or any device

I have 10.12 and the BrcmPatchRAM2.kext gives me an error messaged when I copy it to the extensions folder

wifi card's natural country code is X0

WiFi: No files attached, no idea.
BT: "Info.plist patch does not work in 10.9 and newer." Is this statement not clear?

BrcmPatchRAM2.kext gives me an error messaged when I copy it

Use KextBeast to install kexts, not Finder.

Sorry, forget to update those trouble shooting files for the wifi. They are attached to this post.

BT: "Info.plist patch does not work in 10.9 and newer." Is this statement not clear?

As far as the bluetooth goes, I am just a little confused because I flowed the procedure stated in my last post and before that I had no bluetooth, and now I do, even though I am running 10.12.3.

Help me. I haven't airportbrcm4360.kext plugin in S/L/E/IO80211Family.kext and so no wifi enabled. I copied there a downloaded plugin, dated 2013, than added string in info.plist (as in the guide): wifi enabled but no connection avalable and system become instable. Could you recommend me a procedure. Thanks

Use the OS X/macOS installer to restore your kexts to vanilla. There is no need to touch the system IO80211Family.kext.
