[Solved] macOS 10.13.6 lost Bluetooth - BCM4352/20702A3

[gulios]

Hi,
I have a problem with BT after upgrade from 10.13.5 to 10.13.6 on
- "Asus Maximus VII Impact" motherboard. (10.13.6)
- Asus Zenbook UX430UA (10.13.6 and 10.14)
It's very strange because when i install combo it works until i restart PC (tested 3 installations with same results).
Tried Clover patches, refresh kexts cache etc
Both hacks have custom SSDT-UIAC
It worked perfect in previous versions without any problems.

Thank you

Have to say that it worked fine in previous versions without any problems.

Im having this same exact problem. Have you tried creating a custom ssdt for USBInjectAll.kext as per RehabMan's tutorial? That's gonna be my next step but I'm still looking around to see if there's a simpler solution

No i didn't try yet on that hack but it's quite easy to do this.
Try to understand why it's working after install and stops after first restart.

Mine does the exact same thing but I only remembered it after you mentioned it. Worked after the installation initially and then after a restart that's when I noticed it was showing that bluetooth was unavailable

I have the very same problem. No solution yet. I have a custom ssdt btw.

@RehabMan maybe you have some idea what happened with BT in 10.13.6 ?
Thank you

Hey guys, just bought this broadcom card here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BQ976CR/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 as well as this adapter to convert it to m.2 for my motherboard: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JGERLOS/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 .. I should be getting natively supported wifi/bluetooth after installation. Should be arriving tomorrow. I will post back here with results on whether it fixes bluetooth. Obviously throwing money at the problem is a different type of solution but I figured I would share this here in case anyone else is thinking about going the native route. Should also avoid any wifi/bt issues moving forward in future updates (hopefully)

same thing here, no more BT discovery in 10.13.6. "USB 10.13.6+ by PMHeart & FredWst" patch applied, BrcmPatchRAM2.kext etc. in /L/E, BrcmFirmwareData.kext in Clover/kexts/Other

Just booted my 10.13.5 backup with same kexts, there still working.

Might create a custom SSDT as per RehabMan's instrus next.

[EDIT]: removing the & in line 3 following PMHeart acdg. to this hint did NOT solve the issue (neither did toggling between 10.13.x and 10.13.6 as MatchOS string).

So, i spent 20min and prepared SSDT-UIAC.dsl for that motherboard:

// ASUS MAXIMUS VII IMPACT:
// FRONT USB:
// LEFT: HS02(USB2), SSP2(USB3)
// RIGHT: HS01(USB2), SSP1(USB3)


// REAR USB:
// HS13(USB2)
// HS14(USB2)
// HS03(USB2), SSP3(USB3)
// HS04(USB2), SSP4(USB3)
// HS06(USB2)
// HS09(USB2), SSP5(USB3)
// HS10(USB2), SSP6(USB3)

// so it uses:
//HS01
//HS02
//HS03
//HS04
//HS06
//HS09
//HS10
//HS13
//HS14

//SSP1
//SSP2
//SSP3
//SSP4
//SSP5
//SSP6

// HS07 as internal BT

removed any patches from Clover, copy (.aml) to "patched" and still BT not working in 10.13.6 ;((

Have you removed Clover/kexts/Other/BrcmFirmwareData.kext and installed BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext to /L/E?

(I take for granted you have the other required kexts installed to /L/E already)
