So I installed the cable for native BT and it allthoug it works, it's very unstable:
- often during boot when apple logo shows it reboots and then 2nd or 3rd boot it boots fine..
- when coming out of sleep it says BT not available, allthough some BT devices still (partially) works (eg. mouse works, but scrolling not..)
..
I'm about to reinstall macos and prepared a new bootable catelina usb and replaced the efi with mine but clover doesn't show the usb drive as install option, only my already installed macos... any idea why?? This has worked 100s of times for me!! No idea why it all of a sudden stopped working.. (I can select the usb drive in the uefi boot menu..)
I haven't tried installing Catalina directly from a USB drive yet, I used software update which is still the recommended procedure on this website. I think you may need to install Mojave first and then update to Catalina as much of a pain that is.
Also no guarantee that is going to fix your bluetooth setup, my first guess would be to say it won't, unless you've changed Apple bluetooth system files.
From the Install guide for OS X 15.1
Guide: Update Directly to macOS Catalina
1. Update your existing Clover install to version r4910 or higher using MultiBeast or official Clover package.
2. Open Clover configuration folder on the root of your system drive or EFI Partition using EFI Mounter v3. Copy FakeSMC.kext and any other extra necessary kexts to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other/. If you need essential kexts, download them here.
3. Download Install macOS Catalina Application from the Mac App Store. When complete, the app will open. Please note, the Application will disappear after use.
4. Choose system drive for install (Example: Macintosh HD). When complete, the computer will automatically reboot.
5. At Clover boot screen, choose Boot macOS Install option (Example: Boot macOS Install from Macintosh HD). Choosing your system drive will go back to your previous installation without updating.
6. Complete the installation process- the computer will automatically reboot a few times.
7. At Clover boot screen, choose Boot macOS option (Example: Boot macOS from Macintosh HD). The computer will then complete the update.
Let us know how this guide works for you! Please post all help requests in Catalina Desktop Support and Catalina Laptop Support forum sections. Thanks and good luck!
