[solved] Installing a BCM20702A0 USB Bluetooth adapter in OS X 10.10 Yosemite

[BensTechTV]

I also used github.com/acidanthera/BrcmPatchRAM and it worked with my old & cheap "iAmotus (BT-4) USB-Adapter (Broadcom BCM20702A0)" that I had lying around. It also worked with my Bose Quiet Comfort 35 but after the first connect it took 1-2 Minutes before I the Audio worked (I have no clue why). After a while I mounted the Adapter in a better position (using an 3€ USB Extension Cable) - to get better connection & range.

At first I had trouble finden the kext's. Because I downloaded the Master on Github which does not contain the necessary files. I had to download one of the releases (https://github.com/acidanthera/BrcmPatchRAM/releases).

I installed it on MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) using:

1. BrcmPatchRAM3.kext
2. BrcmFirmwareData.kext
3. BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext

I just copied the files in /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other & restarted my Hackintosh. I hope this makes the install process a little bit clearer

Yes, it works! catalina 10.15.6. Noname USB dongle, BCM201702A0. Only injection kext BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext from github.com/acidanthera/BrcmPatchRAM was copied to E/C/K/O. Works fine.
