BrcmPatchRAM - Upload firmware into Broadcom Bluetooth USB devices

Status
Not open for further replies.
BrcmPatchRAM is for Broadcom bluetooth, not Intel.

After two reinstalls it turns out the culprit was USBInjectAll.kext, it was stopping my IOGear Dongle from working. Uninstalled that, but now webcam and touchscreen (which did not support multi-touch anyway) are down. A hack's life :)
 
HP Pavilion Mini running El Capitain 10.11.6.
Got Ethernet, Intel HD4400 QE/CI, and Audio to work but still no luck with Bluetooth and Wifi

The build in card seems:
Broadcom BCM943142Y PCIe M.2 Mini Card
[0a5c:216d] HP Hornet 43142Y NGFF Combo

Installed latest BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext in S/L/E and firmware seems to be loaded correctly.

But no Bluetooth icon appears in System Preferences.

Any ideas?

Where you got WiFi (14e4:4365) ?
 
Friends,

I have a iOGear GBU - 512 BT dongle with a Magic Mouse. It works out of box to pair my magic mouse but without any gestures and without firmware loaded, so I installed BRCMpatchRAM.kext v1.7. Now the firmware is loaded but I still don't have my magic mouse working. :(

I've tried it with my macbook and the mouse is ok, It's my Hack the problem.
What I should do to have the gestures working.

thanks
