Bluetooth problem after upgrading from 17G65 to 17G7024

[49zy]

My build specs:
CPU: Inter i7-8700K
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070FE
MB: ROG STRIX Z370-G GAMING (WI-FI AC)
Audio: ALCS1220A
WiFi-Bluetooth: BCM943602CS-4
RAM: G.SKILL C16 3200 8G*4

Everything was running well when I was on 17G65, but I upgraded it to 17G7024 accidentally...
I can still turn on/off bluetooth, everything shows up in system report. But when I try to connect to my Master 2S, it's flashing connected/unconnected very fast, then says unconnected...

I've tried:

rebuild the system cache;
remove the bluetooth plist in /L/Preference;
tried to change to iMac in Clover Configurator;

but none of them works.

Anyone has any idea what should I do?

Thanks

Hello there,

Well you have the same wireless/Bluetooth card as I do. Everything in your System Reports and USB section looks okay

There are only a couple of things which maybe are related to the problem:

1) Is your Broadcom wireless card replacing the motherboard's original Intel card? Do you use an adapter?

2) What is the 4th line down in your "USB 3.0 Bus" - "Bluetooth Radio"? In my working set up I only have the 1st line "Bluetooth USB Host Controller"

I also note that System Report doesn't identify your "MX Master 2S" as a mouse. I wonder why?

I also run the same version of High Sierra. No problems at all. So we must be missing something ...

The BCM943602CS-4 card I'm using is a PCIE card. It looks like this:

The "Bluetooth Radio" is the wifi/bluetooth card came with the motherboard. I only use it on Windows 10 and never try to drive it on Hackintosh.

And I forgot to mention that, when I first upgraded to 17G7024, my mouse was connected and "useable", but I was suffering from sever lag, so I disconnected it. Unfortunately I won't be able to reconnect it...

I'm using Unifying connector, so I can use my mouse now...but still no luck with my Bluetooth

Is there any chance there are some other cache in the system that's causing the problem?

And I'm considering to install Mojave to another SSD, but clearly I need to replace my GPU, do you have any recommendation? How about the 5700/5700XT?

Okay.

The motherboard bluetooth radio might be causing conflicts even though you do not use it - because it shows up in System Report. As you are using the PCIe card can you remove the other one for testing?

Sorry I have no experience of the 5700 GPU. Try doing a search here for information.
