BCM94352HMB - Handoff not working

[haimann951]

Hi,


I have replaced my wifi card some months ago with the BCM94352HMB card (Azureware AW-CE123H).
It works well, but I can't get my Handoff and Continuity to work. I successfully got 2,4Ghz and 5Ghz Wifi, Bluetooth and Airdrop to work.

The tools I used to get everything working:

For Bluetooth: BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext + BrcmPatchRAM2.kext + Handoff patch by wireless_bcm94352-110-v4.0c.command (it shows as supported, but doesn't work).

For Wifi: FakePCIID.kext + FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext (not loaded) + 5Ghz Patch from wireless_bcm94352-110-v4.0c.command + Country code from wireless_bcm94352-110-v4.0c.command (Country code is DE since I live in Germany).


Both of my devices (my iPod touch 6 and Custom Mac) are logged in to the same iCloud account, I even tried my second account, but no luck. Handoff is enabled on both devices.


I attached some screenshots of System Information app about bluetooth and wifi hardware together with my clover folder and a copy of IOReg.

Screen shots are not readable.

You should make sure the country code matches your networking hardware.

Oh sorry for the screenshot problem, I attached them as an attachment with this post.

How do I find out which country code my network hardware has? Is there any tool that I can use to find that out (OS X or Windows)? Before I applied the 5GHz and country code patch it showed me XT as country code.

No idea. Certainly product dependent.

How did you find out the country code of your wifi card?

How did you find out the country code of your wifi card?

I use US/FCC as I'm in the US and have networking hardware sold for use in the US.

It pretty much seems I have a Wifi card that is used for germany, because looking at the wifi card itself there seems to be the german address of the Hewlett Packard head quarter on it (see attached picture). I also tried using other country codes, US and GB, but both of them don't work (not even Airdrop). Using DE ("Deutschland", german word for germany) as country code, Airdrop is working again but still no Handoff. But it could also be, that the problem is that my iPod is on iOS10 and my Hack on 10.11.6 or there is some kind of problem with my iCloud. I will try the Handoff patches with the Sierra Public Beta and see if that makes any difference.

You should log out of iCloud on all your devices, then log back in one at a time...

Note: Handoff is not very reliable.

I updated to Sierra, but Handoff still didn't work. Using a different iCloud account, Handoff works partially with US as country code. My iPod can continue where my Hack stopped, but not the other way around. Do you know this problem?

Is it enabled in System Infomation->Bluetooth?
