Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth [Guide]

[SuDoDmz]

Remove any and all wifi kexts, patches, etc.
The 4360 is supported natively.
If your system does not boot with the 4360 installed, something is not native; fix.

That's exactly what's bugging me. The kexts were applied afterwards and are already removed (because system's still not booting with mentioned cards).

I use only the EFI/Clover/kexts/other directory for 3rd party kexts, /L/E & /S/L/E remain untouched.

The 4331 is working, not helpful.
Not booting with the 4360 is not a WiFI problem.

I really don't know, how else I can depict my problem. It is and it is not, you're right; basically a hardware issue, somehow related to those exact cards.

After scouring the web (and also some threads here)

Missed: [GUIDE] Installing 3rd Party Kexts - El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave +

[GUIDE] Installing 3rd Party Kexts - El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave +

Will try and report back. Meanwhile I grabbed my old USB 3.0 PCI card for testing purposes, as it is different than an Airport card, plugged it in and that one worked, too.

Not relevant, useless, waste of time
Your system fails with native hardware, the install is broken.
Last resort, clean install

Hello,

Can someone confirm that AirportBrcmFixup replaces :
- BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext
- BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
- FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext
- FakePCIID.kext

?

Thank you

Had to use brcmfx-driver=1 to get rid of 100% airportd CPU usage on my DW1820A.
No matter what I do however I can not get the card to be recognized on mac os 10.14.6.

Fake WIFI and Clover Airportfix do not change a thing.

For the BCM94352ZAE there is anything to do?

I don't set anything and the wifi is see from 10.14.3 but when I try to use the finder frezee

 

[yota79]

I try to use a Broadcom BCM94359ZAE but when I enable on bios the systems hang and not boot, I have to disable to work...

This is the screen and also attach a log from system.

UPDATE :

I remove the ktexs:

BrcmFirmwareRepo
BrcmPatchRAM2
AirportFixUP

After I try to enable only bluethoot

Load BrcmFirmwareRepo and BrcmPatchRAM2 to LE , rebuild , enable from bios only bluethoot and... surprise it's working.

After i try to enable also the WIFI but have the same problem reported. Also try to load AirportFixUP but have the same result...

The strange one is the error on the kext stall is BCM2045A0 then if i search is relative to bluethoot....

Hi guys I’m kind of a noob at the Hackintosh and I know that this isn’t one of the listed Broadcom devices in this guide but ig it’s still Broadcom. I have a GMYLE BT 4 Dongle (20702A0) and I used the BrcmPatchRAM2 and BrcmFirmwareRepo and have them both in Library/Extensions and the usb dongle loads in the USB section but my Bluetooth section just shows an ‘Ericsson’ device w 0.0 firmware loaded. I figure that I need to disable the Intel WiFi card or disable the usb hs04 on the motherboard but I don’t know how because the WiFi card shows PCI device its a WiFi Bluetooth combo. I tried deleting hs04 but I always put in USBkexts into Clover /Kexts/Other but it’s always recognized as an active USB port every time I boot. I’m fairly certain it’s HS04 as it’s the only thing in system information usb that isnt one of my plugins (in other words I think the IOUSBhostdevice is the Bluetooth HCI (from my unsupported i9260)
