<< Solved >> BCM94352Z not working with BlueToolFixup

[FLP]

You (and those above) might have some luck with version 2.6.1 of the BcrmPatchRAM package.

Update: and now there's a v2.6.2 also at the same link.

Version 2.6.2 did not make any difference for me.

The kexts I am using and their order is:

Lilu
VirtualSMC
WhateverGreen
AppleALC
USBPorts
Some Voodoo keyboard and trackpad kexts
AirportBrcmFixup
AirportBrcmNIC_Injector
BlueToolFixup

I tried enabling PatchRam3 and FirmwareData, but that didn't work either.

I fixed My Bluetooth in Monterey by only using BlueToolFixup from BrcmPatchRAM ver 2.6.2. I didn't add any other Brcm Fixes or injectors. It worked for me, it shows up as 'Third party dongle' in System Report but it works perfectly.

I use this to fix my BT-Problem with Monterey, read the "Important", change the order with Opencore Configurator.

I'm not familiar with your Acer laptop. Is your Bluetooth chipset Intel? If so, you should only need the BlueToolFixup.kext from that package, and possibly updated firmware for the chipset.

If you go to page 2: #13, I've attached the files there.

I found them elsewhere, but I see now, thanks! it works! Now I only am missing battery indicator and webcam. bluetooth now works on two broadcoms and this intel. awesome, thanks a lot

No, it is not an Intel. I put in a Dell1560 well before Intel WiFi was supported. So I believe it is a Broadcom BCM94352Z. It works fine in Big Sur. In Monterey, a Bluetooth mouse and AirPod work. It just will not permanently connect to an iPad. It detects the iPad and gives a pairing code, then momentarily connects then disconnects.

A comment here suggests not using BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext in Monterey, but this probably isn't relevant if Bluetooth is working for other devices.

BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext is disabled in my setup.

Still can’t connect to my iPad. I will try version 2.6.2 today and let you know if that solves the problem.

what kext are you using? found that the 3 kext I told you should actually be used. BRCMpatchram3/ brcmFirmwaredata/airportbrcmfixup/ and bluetoolfixup. as you can see from the attached screen shot from terminal out put, all the kexts are loading and are working properly at the moment. be sure to reset nvram and let the firwaredata kext load before the rest of the bluetooth/wifi kexts
