Bluetooth not working

[benni04]

Hi there,

I'm successfully running Catalina on my HP laptop. Almost everything is working fine except my Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168NGW Bluetooth connection, even though I do have the Intel Bluetooth Firmware and Injector kext in the Clover kext folder. The kexts are als not appearing as installed in the Hackintools extension list. Any suggestions how to fix this and get it work properly?

I don't think that's the solution. Even using USBInjectAll kext, there are only 15 USB ports showing up in Hackintools, so maybe there aren't more. Also there is no bluetooth host device showing up like shown in the guide.

No doubt, so I just checked my configuration to be sure all USB ports are setup correctly. But still no bluetooth functionality.

Edit: Also, no bluetooth option is shown in the system preferences.

Well, the attached screenshot shows all my USB ports when using USBInjectAll.kext. However, it seems that the internal Bluetooth module is not recognized at all. Bluetooth is working properly on Windows, so it cannot be a hardware connection problem. Any suggestions?
