Hi. It's been a long time since I had the need to post something here. The guides by Rehabman are great, but I have a tiny little issue here, and I've banging my head against a wall for several weeks now.
I installed Mojave from scratch on a HP 840G1, and had a WiFi card with no Bluetooth (I came from a 8460p which did have onboard BT). I bought an Azurewave card (Broadcom BCM4352 Azurewave AW-CE123H WiF i+ BT 867Mbps Bluetooth 4.0 Hackintosh, said the eBay listing), and I thought it would work immediately, which of course, it didn't.
The WiFi portion of the card worked with absolutely no issues (as a Broadcom BCM43XX), but the bluetooth portion does not work at all.
I plugged a small BT dongle and enabled the BT indicator on the notification bar but when I unplug that dongle it just stays there, with a message that says "Bluetooth: Not Available".
There are no notifications in the System Report about Bluetooth, it just thinks there's no Bluetooth adapter.
After reading, I came across the fact that the BT portion of the card should be connected to a USB bus, and it led me to believe that somehow the card was faulty, or that there was a problem with the USB bus, since I tried it on Windows 10 and it didn't show the Bluetooth portion either (WiFi did work), but then I tried with Ubuntu. Ubuntu did show both devices, one on the PCI bus (WiFi, although it doesn't work there, and I won't look into it), and the other one on the USB bus. Funny thing, it seems as it's connected to a hub which is connected to the USB bus in the machine. Bluetooth DOES work on Ubuntu.

This tells me that the Broadcom BT is connected to an internal hub, but it doesn't show up on MacOS.
Now, I went and read the USBInjectAll post, and prepared to do my testing, and booted MacOS with the -uia_ignore_rmcf, which gave me a couple of extra ports (I followed the original procedure to install MacOS on this machine by Rehabman, and I assume one of the ddst files did hide the ports), but the I can't find port in which the Bluetooth adapter should be, in fact, I open all the ports information and there's no adapter.
The SMSC hub appears on MacOS (vendor 0424, product 2134), but the BT device does not appear to be connected there.
Am I doing something wrong here? Am I missing something?? I've already reinstalled MacOS over my partition to have a "refresh install", as Rehabman recommended somewhere but it's doing the same thing.
I installed the Brcm kexts as well, but since the Bluetooth portion of the card isn't even being recognized, it doesn't do a thing. I think the first thing I need to do is to have the adapter visible on the USB ports.
I'm attaching my macos debug files as well as my dmesg from Ubuntu to see if I'm missing something.
Thanks for the help, Bluetooth is the one of two things that are still missing for the full experience on my machine, the other one being hibernate (which I hope can be worked out but that's for another thread).
** EDIT **
I installed Mojave from scratch on another HD (smaller one), and before applying any patches to the system, ran IORegistryExplorer, and the BT device appears connected inside HS03, it creates an Apple USB 2.0 Hub, and it´s connected to port 2, just like in Linux. This appears to go well.
I´ll finish the installation and see if I get both WiFi and Bluetooth, and if it works I might rework the original installation that I do have.
** EDIT 2 **
I did the installation scripts from Rehabman´s repository, and the thing broke. I used the configuration for 8x0G1 Haswell, and it seems that it disables the detection on the port, as after rebooting I do have WiFi but the Bluetooth device appears not connected again in IORegistryExplorer. Is there a way to quickly fix this? I just need to enable that port to get things up and running, I wouldn´t want to redo Rehabman´s job of detecting ports just for one extra port.
Thanks for your time. This has been great, it´s almost over, I just need a small push in the right direction.
