For Sierra, you need this additional patch:

AirPortBrcm4360
From: 81F952AA00007529
To: 81F952AA00006690
 
Yes, i had the similar situation,
BT OK, NO WIFI, and some glitches in top left corner of the screen,
maybe mr. Neilhart can help...

WLAN ist functioning for me after a patch, so, wifi and bluetooth OK, on my other rig, where i have no nvidia card, i also have flickering of the left upper edge of the screen. I have currently no solution for this, maybe i need to buy a cheap nvidia gt 740 or so.
 
Thanks, i will try another install on test hd, and we'll see,
EDIT:
thanks again, after first ever patch :mrgreen:
now wifi is working, and BT speaker plays songs :headbang:...

i am able to follow this excellent steps. I have replaced the intel module from my gigabyte GA-170 miniITX board with the BMC94352z module. I can connect to wifi and it works perfectly.

But I am having difficulties connecting bluetooth device - the only one I have is a apple watch. I was curious to try the Sierra auto-login feature with apple watch. Is this something that is even supported via hackintosh? I have the following in place to get the bluetooth working in my imac 17.1 profile:
Clover EFI > Kext > 11.12 > FakePCIID.kext, FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext, BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
Under S/L/E > BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext
Under L/E > USBInjectAll.kext

Kext Patches in Clover:
AppleUSBXHCIPCI > 83BD8CFEFFFF10 > 83BD8CFEFFFF1B > for USB port raise limit
AirPortBrcm4360 > 81F952AA00007529 > 81F952AA00006690 > Sierra patch
IOBluetoothFamily > 4885FF7447488B07 >41BE0F000000EB44 > BroadCom patch

Attempts to run the hand-off command failed as it was not Sierra ready. Maybe that is the missing piece?

Thanks for further useful help/guidance!!

Well I've got quite far with it. I don't have anything in S/L/E.
I have BrcmFirmwareData, BrcmPatchRAM2, FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi, USBInjectAll and FakePCIID all in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/

Bluetooth works for keyboard and trackpad and it shows that iPhone and Watch are paired and connected in System Information. AirDrop works in both directions. But I've only managed to get Handoff working in one direction. Items open on the Hackintosh show up and deliver payload to the iPhone, but iPhone never delivers its Handoff payload to the Hackintosh.

I can enable Auto Unlock for my Watch successfully, but when it actually tries to unlock with the watch it just times out. I suspect this is related to the Handoff issue I just mentioned.
 
But I am having difficulties connecting bluetooth device - the only one I have is a apple watch. I was curious to try the Sierra auto-login feature with apple watch.

Is your watch listed in System Information under Bluetooth (after "Devices (Paired, Configured, etc.):)? You haven't included it in your screenshot of System Information. Note that the watch won't show up under Devices in the Bluetooth System Preferences pane anyway - only in System Information.

If you can find a bluetooth keyboard or something to confirm that bluetooth is working that will help you (but from what I can see in your post, it should do).
 
I just have one device under the Devices (Paired, Configured, etc.) section. I think this appeared last when I attempted to connect my iphone to my hackintosh (under 10.11.6). Now I am in sierra. I always did like the touchpad, maybe I need to pony up one to see if my bluetooth is working at all.

Is there a sierra .command that I need to do before getting this to work? Till now I only have the 4 kext files and the three patches in config.plist

finally everything is working now. All I had to do was sign-out of icloud in system preference and then sign back in. voila, the iphone now appears in the bluetooth preference (but not pari-able as expected). The preference > security & preference now allows selecting allow apple watch to unlock mac.
 
Good to hear it's working. It often takes an iCloud sign out/in to kick Continuity/Handoff into life... but I would be surprised if that is what made your iPhone appear under Bluetooth.

Regardless: now that you can turn on Auto Unlock for your watch, have you confirmed that it actually does unlock?
 
No, not much luck with getting the watch to unlock the machine.
