[solved] Can't change country code with patch on DW1560

[missile0407]

Hello everyone,

This is a small problem to me because I can't change country code on my laptop.

Already used kext path in config.plist, and replace with my country code. But System info still shows location is FCC and country code is US.
Does anyone knows a root cause?

Your patch for WiFi with Name=AirPortBrcm4360 is wrong. Should be Name=com.apple.driver.AirPort.Brcm4360. Because "AirPortBrcm4360" does not match (is not a substring) against the kext bundle ID of com.apple.driver.AirPort.Brcm4360.

The IOBluetoothFamily patch still matches. It is optional to change to the full bundle-id.
The other patch would need to change if you expect it to match.

You should check that you have the country code patch applicable to the version of macOS you're actually running...

OK, finally I realized that the patch I use only available before 10.12. It changed to another kext since 10.13.

Deep searching on this forum and I found a solution.

Just install AirportBrcmFixup.kext into /L/E and add "-brcmfx-country=TW".
The country code changed what I need after reboot.

Thanks for help again!

Yes, I also found there's patch code for 10.13 to change country code.
But Idk if I need fcvo patch together or not, and also I didn't found fcvo patch code on 10.13 yet.
I'll keep looking on it.......
