MacOS won't boot after replacing WiFi card with BCM94350ZAE

Should I buy the BCM94352Z? Is it compatible with my model for sure?

Your choice/impossible to predict the future.

Note also that you should make sure you re-extract/re-patch ACPI files after installing new hardware.

I assumed the files provided in post #3 accurately reflect "Problem Reporting" request... that is that EFI/Clover/ACPI/origin represent files with the WiFi hardware installed, but maybe you pressed F4 without the hardware installed.

Yes, I had extracted them with clover and new hardware installed but I still hadn't modified ACPI/patched since it wasn't booting if that's of your interest, last report was without. Just in case, I will make a further copy later.

If on post #3 it wasn't correct this is with the new hardware, no boot.

If there is any doubt as to whether your ACPI/patched is based on correct/current ACPI/origin, remove ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml.

Replaced with BCM94352Z and it works perfect. Thanks for your help!
 
Hi,
after replacing my WiFI card with BCM94350ZAE I can't boot MacOS.
I will attach verbose boot photo and clover configuration before replacing (which was proved to be working).
BIOS model:
0VCN26WW(V1.10)
Did I have to install some kexts before replacing the wifi card?
Thanks everyone.
I've seen some bootloops caused by this card. The BCM94352Z is perfect.
