Hello all!
I'm new here, and I just joined the mackintosh community, so please bear with my ignorance. I've tried to search with the problems I'm having, but the number of results and different documentation / approaches for various different cases is a bit overwhelming, so perhaps you could help me with my specific case!
About
Mobo:
HP Spectre x360 : 13-4005dx
CPU:
Intel Core i7-5500U
Graphics:
Intel HD Graphics 5500
Other Hardware:
Replaced Wifi/BT module with NGFF BCM94352Z
I'm trying to use this guide on installing El Capitan on x360 with Skylake, though my case is slightly different with intel 5th gen.
I've been able to get El Capitan running on a partition on my SSD using this excellent guide by Rehabman.
Now, I'm trying to get my wifi working with my NGFF BCM94352Z using this guide . However, I'm finding the guide a bit confusing... I see that there are clearly steps in the guide, but I don't quite see the structure in terms of step-by-step approach.
So far, I've put the following kexts on my desktop and run Kext beast:
BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext
BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
IOBluetoothFamily-10.11.5.kext
IO80211Family-10.11.5.kext
I'm able to connect to wifi networks, and bluetooth is able to see *some* devices (not all, which is weird...) but Airdrop is not working and there is no Handoff in system preferences. I'm trying to follow Step 3b/BCM94352 5 GHz/Handoff (WiFi and BT Enabled) but I don't understand exactly what I should be doing, and how to "patch" and what file... Using Sublime text editor, I opened IO80211Family-10.11.5.kext > Contents > Plugins > AirPortBrcm4360.kext but I'm not able to find the entry...
Additionally, I've tried running wireless_bcm94352-11-v4.0.command, and I get:
If I try to run the command again, I get a kernel panic that goes away after another couple automatic reboots.
So, am I missing something? Was I supposed to manually patch or was that the command? How do I know if it has worked?
Thank you in advance for your time and patience!

[Restored Jul 5, 2016, 9:56:45 AM]If I try to run the command again, I get a kernel panic that goes away after another couple automatic reboots.
So, am I missing something? Was I supposed to manually patch or was that the command? How do I know if it has worked?
Thank you in advance for your time and patience!
