Hi, I followed the guide: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-brcmpatchram/overview.

I installed the kexts in EFI/CLOVER/kexts.

I could get Sierra to display the bluetooth adapter but it does not pair with my bluetooth keyboard (K380).

It asks for the code to pair, I type the code, it says it's connected but it keeps disconnecting and does not work, from the keyboard led, it seems that it's always trying to pair but can't complete.

My system specs:
Sierra 10.12.5, i5-750, DH55HC, the BT adapter is a generic one, used to work well in Yosemite.

Thanks in advance.

It also pops up two things asking for code to pair, is that normal?

Sometimes it show as connected but it isn't really connected, then asks for the code again and shows "Pairing failed".

I did a clean install and now the bluetooth does not appear in the system, I tried to follow this again: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-brcmpatchram/overview

This time I put the following kexts in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts:
- BrcmFirmwareData.kext
- BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
- BrcmNonPatchRAM2.kext

I installed the minimum possible from MultiBeast, I just selected the Audio and Ethernet, besides the system information (Mac Pro5,1).

Please, can someone give me a hint in what I could do next?

Thanks!

Edit: I removed these kexts and followed the suggestion of the topic: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/iogear-usb-bluetooth-el-capitan.174350/

And it worked perfectly!
