macOS 10.13.6 Update

[EDIT]: update from 10.13.5 to 10.13.6 went through at some point (not sure why it didn't right away)

I just did an update over the App Store and it was smooth until it booted out and figured I lost Bluetooth. Does anyone have a fix? I have a broadcom chip
Did you update the USB patch by PMHeart to 10.13.6? Bluetooth runs through USB.

Yep. But equally as important, delete RC scripts.
Code:
sudo rm -rf /etc/rc.boot.d
sudo rm -rf /etc/rc.shutdown.d

Aptiomemoryfix also has certain bios requirements, read them here:

I have slogged through the link :(
One question, is the code inputted one line at a time? I tried and after hitting return Terminal output says "Try Again" (what? does Terminal think it is the Eight Ball telling fortunes;)
When I try copy/paste of both lines, only the first line pastes. I hope this query makes sense.

I’ve never seen ‘try again’ as a terminal output... I did them one at a time and it was fine. You can also unhide all files I think with the key command shift-command-. and navigate to those paths and delete them manually I think :)

I ended up running one line at a time. So far no exploding Hack. I have yet to restart.
 
Updated via App Store with no problems. After install all I had to do was install new Nvidia drivers.
 
Just Updated from 13.4 to 14.6.

Updated lilu.kext, whatevergreen.kext, apfs.efi, and install from combo update 13.6. Just Fine.
 
I've just finished to update via combo update, all went smooth, i've just replace before the update the apfs.efi and Nvdagraphicsfixup.kext and i've started the update, in the end to update i've updated the last version of Nvdia web driver and all went right!!!
Thank tonymac and all good people!!!

same thing here - at this point no custom SSDT yet, but plan to do asap. Removing the & in line 3 following PMHeart acdg. to this hint did NOT solve the issue (neither did toggling between 10.13.x and 10.13.6 as MatchOS string).

I posted my details into the "macOS 10.13.6 lost Bluetooth - BCM4352/20702A3" thread.
