Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth [Guide]

[shepworth]

Just in case it helps anyone. I managed to get everything working on this

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Bro...-Laptop-A1418-A1419-635-0014/32323536572.html

WiFi was already working but couldn't get Bluetooth to work despite following RehabMan's great instructions. Turned out it was a simple as grabbing the product and vendor Id's from System Information, converting to Decimal and then putting the details in the info.plist located in

IOBluetoothFamily.kext > Contents > Plugins > BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport.kext > Contents

Reinstalled Kext, rebooted and everything works.

Hope it helps someone else.

If it is a non-patchRAM device (eg. no firmware load necessary), better to add the ids to BrcmNonPatchRAM[2].kext (depends on version of macOS/OS X).

Let me know which ids they are and I'll add them to the github repo.

Soo, I thought it was my BT-hardware that was broken så I ordered a new one, but still no bluetooth. It is my first Hackintosh, so I might need at bit of help. Therefore, here is my problem report (hopefully done correct?)

My problem is that my WIFI works fine, but no BT. I use a PCI adapter with a USB header connected for BT. The internal headers works fine if I connects the header for my Corsair H100i v2 watercooler.

I cannot see the BT under SysInfo > BT and SysInfo says “no info…”

I have made a custom SSDT and all the USB ports works fine on my Asus Z370-p (both internal and external) and used the brcm…kexts as well.

Specs:
High Sierra
Asus z370-p
Intel i5-8400
XFX Radeon RX580 8 gb
16 gb ddr4 ram
BIOS version: 0606

My USB/WIFI module is: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MBP25UK/?tag=tonymacx86-21

Your ioreg shows no BT controller on the USB bus.
Therefore problem is hardware installation, hardware problem, or USB configuration problem.
For USB configuration, read here:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-creating-a-custom-ssdt-for-usbinjectall-kext.211311/

To verify hardware is working, test in Windows.

I thought that was the problem, but I bought a new adapter for WIFI/BT with the exact same result.

My first solution was:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ide...32588062930.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.6WUoQv
with https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wir.../1248788884.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.6WUoQv

and the second try was: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MBP25UK/?tag=tonymacx86-21

I have tried to create a custom SSDT as in the guide, and I think it works but..

I don't think you read post #44.

I've got the patchram2 and firmwarerepo kexts in S/L/E

the ids are in here

<dict>
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
<string>com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport</string>
<key>IOClass</key>
<string>BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport</string>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOUSBHostDevice</string>
<key>idProduct</key>
<integer>8894</integer>
<key>idVendor</key>
<integer>2652</integer>
</dict>

was that the right thing to do?

The 0a5c:22be was supported by an old BrcmPatchRAM but since the firmware was removed from the Win8 drivers, it got removed from BrcmPatchRAM too.

You can still get it from an older BrcmPatchRAM.

I'm using BCM94360HMB. Wifi is working great without modifying anything but BT does not work. I injected USBInjectAll, BrcmFirmwareRepo, BrcmPatchRAM2 but BT is not listed in USB list in IOReg. There are only 4 SS and 4 HS corresponding to 4 USB port. A combo e-SATA USB is also not working. What do have to do now?

Hey guys, I'm planning on building a hack next weekend. Parts would be:
GA z170x gaming 3 /because of the 2x m.2 and 3x monitor support without GPU/
i5 6500 /plan to change with i7 7700/
8gb ddr4 2400Mhz
some ssd and hdd.

I'm wondering if this wifi/bt card would work: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-BCM43...836337?hash=item543ca71771:g:wbYAAOSwUEVYDsIr

I need something that doesn't have problems with the BT when waking up, since I'd like to connect magic kb and mouse. Thanks
