BrcmPatchRAM - Upload firmware into Broadcom Bluetooth USB devices

Status
Not open for further replies.
Dear Rehabman,

i read all this pages and im still very confused about the single injection of driver that works from /clover/kexts

could you please give me a hint to the right direction?

i have a usb combo card running 10.11.3 and i only want to inject my driver:

Chipsatz: 20702A3
Firmware-Version: v14 c5565
Hersteller-ID: 0x0B05
Produkt-ID: 0x17CF

so this is what i did:
nr 1: i take BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext.
nr 2: i remove all drivers inside brcmfrimwarerepo.kext from the ressources directory
nr 3: i change:

<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>disabled_IOResources</string>

to

<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOResources</string>

and finally replace the info.plist inside brcmfirmwarerepo.kext with the one found here
https://github.com/the-darkvoid/BrcmPatchRAM/tree/master/firmwares/0b05_17cf ?

can you please confirm ? Otherwise could you please kindly provide me a BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and a BrcmPatchRAM2.kext that loads from CLover/kexts and only injects 0b05_17cf? Based on that i would write a general detailed instruction after investigating how you did it. i have read the Advanced user part again and again but i simply dont understand it =)

thanks in advance

Don't replace the Info.plist.

As is stated in the README, replace only the IOKitPersonalities section of the Info.plist (from injector kext to BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext)

that is exactly the part i dont understand could you provide a picture example for my device?
I think this is exactly the part what people are missing.

Open the each respective plist in Xcode and you should be able to make sense of it.

If not, you probably shouldn't be editing Info.plist in the first place.

I've been using BrcmPatchRAM2 and it works great on the initial boot, however I've noticed that there's a high probability after the laptop has been asleep for a while that when I wake it up the Bluetooth is no longer working ("Bluetooth: Not available"). Sometimes it works fine after waking, but I'd say 70% of the time it stops working.

Code: 
nuudells :: ~ » grep -y brcmpatch /var/log/system.log                                           255 ↵

It still shows up in my System Information:

Code: 
  Apple Bluetooth Software Version:	4.4.3f4 16616

What's the best approach to figuring out why the Bluetooth sometimes doesn't work upon wake up?
 
Another log from today. The first set of logs from 09:22 is a cold boot where things are working fine, then at 13:47 I woke the machine from sleep and Bluetooth was no longer working:
