Hello everybody and thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
As you can see from my signature, I made a new build while following this thread very closely.
However, I cannot say that "everything works" quite yet. Bluetooth is the only thing that I just can't get to work for the life of me.
I have a Dell DW1560 m.2 card, and like some in this thread, I tried everything:
- install + first boot went great
- then replacing the EFI folder with the one from the USB (the one from dgpu build) helped make the bluetooth icon appear in the system information (although with firmware version c4096)
- that's when problems arose
- trying to pair bluetooth speakers failed (the speakers never appeared)
- my iphone appears in the bluetooth panel, but trying to pair it timed out
- I think that I got continuity working once but then it stopped
- so I tried to put BrcmFirmwareData instead of BrcmFirmwareStore in Other but rebooting took 10 minutes and then at the login screen, all the USB ports stopped working, forcing me to reboot
- after reboot, no more Bluetooth icon and no more information inside System Information
- I tried restoring BrcmFirmwareStore: same result, no bluetooth
- I tried putting the kexts inside L/E: nothing changed: not even information about the card appears inside the USB panel
- all other utilities show nothing about the card
All the while, Wifi works great.
I even tried to reinstall Macos with the same results after a while.
I'm just about to try installing windows 10 and try to update the card firmware from Windows.
Can anyone provide me with some pointers and/or help me in any way ?
Thanks again
Can you please post your boot log? You can use Clover Configurator to generate it.
Did you try removing BrcmFirmwareRepo and BrcmPatchRam2 from others and installing in /L/E using KextBeast?
Make sure you repair permissions if you just copied them in before.
Check your firmware version, it’s clearly not updating properly.
