Hello,

I recently got a triboot system working with an install order of macOS HS, Ubuntu, and Windows 10. Windows 10 gave me headaches by making my clover efi disappear in bios, but I was able to finally get it working.

Now I've lost bluetooth in macOS HS, when it was working perfectly before Windows 10 install (I had all other drives disconnected during install).

Now it says "no information" in system report, has a squiggly line through the menubar bluetooth icon, and says "Bluetooth: Not Available."

Has anybody had this happen? I looked around in search and couldn't find an occurrence. I tried implementing all the wifi/bluetooth injections and kexts on the sticky one at a time (yes, I uninstalled in between), and none of them worked.

Here are my specs:
Asus Maximus IX Code, with onboard wifi and bluetooth (was working great before windows 10 install on separate m2.ssd)
Intel Core i7-7700K
Nvidia 1080Ti
Corsair memory
Corsair RM750i
two m2.ssd (samsung and xpg)

Thanks for the help!

Edit:
I did not have to make any changes to anything. I simply disconnected my bluetooth antenna attached to my mobo and my onboard/built-in bluetooth started working again.

I also just tried turning bluetooth off in bios, booting back into macOS, turning it back on in bios, and still bluetooth is unavailable.

I also tried erasing the bluetooth plist in library preferences. Still a squiggly line bluetooth icon.

The Bluetooth was working out of the box, but it is the onboard Bluetooth on the Asus mobo. I did not add a Bluetooth chip.

The mobo also has a built in wifi but I never got that to work and use Ethernet.

Any ideas?

What BT/WiFi hardware you have?

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

In system information, bluetooth doesn't show up. "No information found." I tried looking for the exact hardware to see if it's broadcom-based but couldn't find that information online. I'm not sure it every showed up in system information, but this could be the issue. I'm thinking of verifying on Windows 10.

All I found was Wireless/BT:
2x2 Wi-Fi with MU-MIMO 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac supports dual frequency band 2.4/5 GHz
Up to 857 Mbps transfer speed
Bluetooth v4.1 (depends on Windows version)

Thanks for the FAQ. I'll get to that as soon as I can.

No bluetooth hardware on the USB bus.
Part USB configuration problem.
See guide:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-creating-a-custom-ssdt-for-usbinjectall-kext.211311/

Other part, ACPI is wrong.
You cannot use the _OSI->XOSI patch without SSDT-XOSI.aml.
No need to drop MATS. Instead use config.plist/ACPI/FixHeaders=true (you will need newer Clover to use that, or use the older setting config.plist/ACPI/DSDT/Fixes/FixHeaders=ture).

Power management not implemented correctly. Set config.plist/ACPI/SSDT/Generate/PluginType=true

I don't know why you have -uia_ignore_rmcf in your kernel flags. It is used so that USBInjectAll.kext ignores any UIAC.RMCF (configuration data), but you don't have any SSDT-UIAC.aml.

Also, USB power property guide...
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-usb-power-property-injection-for-sierra-and-later.222266/

Problems with how your kexts are installed:
Kext rejected due to improper filesystem permissions: <OSKext 0x7fa3ccd48ad0 [0x7fffa8eb8af0]> { URL = "FakeSMC.kext/ -- file:///Library/Extensions/", ID = "org.netkas.driver.FakeSMC" }
Rejecting invalid/inauthentic kext for bundle id org.netkas.driver.FakeSMC at location FakeSMC.kext/ -- file:///Library/Extensions/.
FakeSMC_CPUSensors.kext - no compatible dependency found for org.netkas.driver.FakeSMC.
FakeSMC_CPUSensors.kext is missing dependencies (including anyway; dependencies may be available from elsewhere)

... and others... look at your kextcache output.

Your kextcache output proves kexts are not installed correctly.
All kexts you need must be installed to the system volume.
Read post #2 of the Clover guide for details:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

config.plist/SystemParameters/InjectKexts should be set "Detect".

Kexts should be installed to /L/E, not /S/L/E.
Reliable kext installation methods are in the laptop FAQ:

Thanks for the reply with the thorough audit. I'll work on these.
