[FIX] BCM94352z DW1560 BT lost after sleep

Hello pals using BCM94352z: I'm here to share the final solution I've found to the DUPLICATE DEVICE problem of BCM94352z, in the hope that it would help you. This problem has been bothering me for a long time. I searched the whole Internet but got no clue. The most common advice is to adjust...

Thanks, I replaced 2 kexts.
Can you look my debug files, is there any other problems?

Your should patch your trackpad for GPIO interrupts.

Your UEFI drivers folder needs a massive cleanup:
SMCHelper.efi conflicts with VirtualSMC, remove
EmuVariableUefi.efi not needed with AptioMemoryFix. Only needed on 300-series with broken NVRAM.
OsxFatBinaryDrv.efi not needed, conflicts with AptioMemoryFix.
CsmVideoDxe.efi discouraged, use UEFI-only mode (CSM off in BIOS) instead.
NvmExpressDxe.efi shouldn't be used on new systems really. They have native NVMe support.
XhciDxe-64.efi, UsbMouseDxe.efi are probably not necessary on new systems too.
Replace VBoxHfs.efi with HFSPlus.efi, as the former is disabled y your config.plist.
And there are more to be removed, read about all of them, remove whatever you don't need.

If you don't need VoodooTSCSync.kext to boot, you can probably just remove it.

IOAudioFamily.kext should not be patched, run the macOS installer to revert.

Remove your SSDT.aml, it's disabled anyway...

@igorgr24 , I have same a problem, do you solve this problem ?

 

[igorgr24]

No, I didn’t. Changed ASUS to real MacBook Pro 15 late 2013. It works much more better.

 

[eraser989]

Well I got into bootloop reverted to fakesmc

What are the boot arguments you have? Sleep is working?

 

[igorgr24]

Use only VirtualSMC. FakeSMC doesn’t work properly on this model

Hello, everybody!

I have ASUS Vivobook X542UA, MacOS Mojave 10.14.5

My hardware is:
- Intel Core i5-8250U
- Graphics Intel UHD 620
- 16Gb DDR4
- m2 SSD WD Blue 250Gb SATA
- SATA HDD 1Tb
- Realtek ALC294 codec
- WiFi+BT replaced with Broadcom BCM94352
- screen replaced with B156HAN01.1 - it's a cheap IPS, gamut is 72% of sRGB. Only 6 bits/pixel is available (262 thousands of colors only), but it's much more better, than native TN.

What is DOES NOT work:
- Internal microphone - when no headphones connected, in sound devices appears 2 * Line In, both not working. When headphones + ext. mic connected - everything is working.
- GPIO pinning of touchpad - in my case it's work only in polling mode. All gestures works.

In attached files you can find my EFI folder and kexts you should install to /L/E. You must generate your own serial numbers and place them to config.plist (SMBIOS section) using PlistEdit Pro. You can generate these numbers in Clover Configurator.

Credits to Feartech and ben9923 - they help me a lot.

UPD 7/17/19: Updated Clover and some kexts.
UPD 7/26/19: Added USB Type-C support
Download AsusSMC here, there is own daemon, required to install.
