BrcmPatchRAM - Upload firmware into Broadcom Bluetooth USB devices

[RehabMan]

Thank you, I've just tried your patched version of BrcmPatchRAM 1.7.1. but is the same, BT is not working after sleep.



Maybe, I've used HP Probook Installer Clover Edition (I've a HP EliteBook 850G1) and I don't know how many kext was installed. Here are kexstat without "apple" line...

Do you see some strange kext to remove?

Remove ProBookARPT.kext. Injector kexts don't show in kextstat.

Wow: you are a very expert and kind person.


I followed your precious indications and I've removed AppleUSBMergeNub_aw-ce123h from info.plist file of ProBookARPT.kext: now I have WiFi 5GHz, BT even after a sleep/wake cycle.


I cannot do this without your hints, thank you very very much.


Now my HP EliteBook 850G1 with an Azurewave AW-CE123H instead of original Intel 7260HWN AN works very well.

Actually, you can simply remove ProbookARPT.kext completely.

For BCM94352HMB, the best configuration is:
- 5ghz patch, handoff patch (config.plist KextsToPatch). No patch for AirPort Extreme branding is necessary.
- FakePCIID.kext, FakePCIID_BCM94352Z_as_BCM94360CS2.kext
- BrcmPatchRAM.kext

Ok, I've removed ProbookARPT.kext and installed FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_BCM94352Z_as_BCM94360CS2.kext but video was garbled. I've installed also FakePCIID_HD4600_HD4400.kext and all is gone fine.


I don't know how to install 5ghz patch and handoff patch, I'll use google to figure how to accomplish this task, but I'm connected to 5GHz access point, so maybe is not necessary?

The kexts are dependent on each other. When installing a new FakePCIID.kext, you must install updated FakePCIID injectors.

I don't see any errors.

Never mind. I see them now. I think the kext is not installed correctly. BrcmFirmwareStore matches on IOResource, so it should start just by having the kext installed.

Did you install with Kext Wizard? From where did you download it?

Did a fresh install, downloaded from Github, installed with Kext Utility and restarted. Now working correctly.

LiteOn Bcm4352 - 04CA:200B

Hi Guys,I have BCM94352HMB combo card. Wifi working flawlessly with clover injection, but bluetooth (LiteOn Bcm4352 - 04CA:200B) didn't work using your latest kext (v1.7). Bluetooth working in Windows and Linux, but not in OS X. Also Sys Profiler shows nothing about bluetooth (in Bluetooth and USB nodes).I have found in Windows my firmware is BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1315.1374.hex (different with firmware in your kext plist). I have followed your guide in the first post until i create hex dump, but don't know what to do next. Please help.. . I have attached all files may be needed.Thanks

04ca:200b is already in the kext.

Make sure you don't have other "bluetooth solutions" installed. They can conflict with BrcmPatchRAM.
