tazorac8 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 So happy I bumped into this thread. At this time, I need to buy a new card, since I bought the "Lenovo OEM FRU P/N: 00JT493 Broadcom BCM94350ZAE" card at the beginning of my journey (I believe Herve said that this card hasn't been tested for compatibility in the Wifi thread). I can say that WiFi works perfectly but I cannot get the Bluetooth to work at all. Alas, I most likely need a new card... What cards are the most likely to work OOB at this point in time? I'm on Mojave. Paging @Hervé for help --------------------------------- What I've Done ------------------------------- My BT shows up in my menu bar up top and can detect Bluetooth devices such as my wireless speaker, etc. It attempts to connect, very rarely connects for a split second, then DCs and refuses to connect again. I've tried the fixes through browsing package contents of BRCMPatch2 and BRCMFirmwareRepo and changing with PlistEditPro, I attempted to change the firmware of my BT to the v7 5803... no change as you can see in pics. I also checked to see if this was a chip problem but on Windows 10 which I have dual booted, the BT worked fine after installing some drivers. I was able to click thru a bunch of properties, etc and find that the driver?hex?idk? it's using is "BCM4350C5_003.006.007.0095.1668.hex" . Back on the Hackintosh side, I downloaded this .hex file from some random site and tried to put it into my BRCMFirmwareRepo + set it in the BRCMPatch2 but to no avail. TBH, I had no idea what I was doing at this point Please help! I'm by no means a computer expert (surprised at how I even built this thing so far), I'm a med student, so I'm sorry if I ask silly questions. BT is the most important feature to me and it sucks I haven't been able to get it to work As mentioned above, I'm beginning to think a new card like the DW1560? might be my best bet... hopefully it runs OOB?

Azrul Haifan Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I have installed DW1820A that seems wrong labeled as OVW3T3, because it's subsystem ID showing up as 1028:0023. The wifi is working fine, even without airportbrcmfixup, but the bluetooth is not detected at all. i've usb working, installed usbinjectall, and implemented custom ssdt. even if i'm removing custom ssdt, the bluetooth device won't show up. Than i'm doing the pin masking like @Naidis did, and than my wifi card is unavailable, but the bluetooth device is appear. the bluetooth it self have BCM2045A0 detected with Vendor ID : 0A5C, and product ID : 6412, the location of usb port is on HP13, that mean the bluetooth device using USB 2 BUS, on PR11, like this Spoiler The conclusion is, 1. If my pin card is masked, the bluetooth detected, but it make wifi unavailable 2. if my pin card is not masked, the bluetooth is not detected at all, and wifi work normally i don't know it's my card problem, or my ngff slot hardware problem, becasue it have same case on windows. Anybody please help me out i'm attached my IOReg without pin masking for now Azrul’s MacBook Pro WPM.ioreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttonhead411 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 A few questions for you... how does the device work on windows with pin masked and not masked? If they work normally then it’s more than likely a configuration issue on your Hackintosh. also Herve mentioned before that the functiontionality of wifi and Bluetooth are different. All DW1820A will have Bluetooth detected as long as you have rehabman kext loaded. Getting Bluetooth usable with a connected device is the tricky one. Pin masking is required for your version of card to work with WiFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttonhead411 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 @tazorac8 Bluetooth working reliably on our card hasn’t have a permanent fix yet. Only known way so far is to get the drivers loaded from windows, then reboot to Mac OS for Bluetooth to work stable. To do this you need an injector on Mac side, without firmware upload functionalities. Otherwise yep DW1560 seems to be a popular card for full functionalities. Note that it’s not plug and play OOB functionality. You will need kext to get it working... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazorac8 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Is there a guide on how to do this? BT functionality is working on my Windows 10 side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickhx Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Hi all, have been playing around with the driver to see if I can get firmware upload in Mojave to work on my dw1820a without needing windows to upload the firmware. It seems to be working ok , but am still testing to see if it works consistently. Attaching the kexts if anyone else would like to try with their dw1820a. These need to be uploaded to /EFI/CLOVER/Kexts/Other. Make sure you don't have any equivalent kexts in /L/E or /S/L/E. Let me know if you have any success.

muttonhead411 Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 I'm not sure how you did it... but you somehow got it to work.... I'm gonna keep testing for now... Wondering if you could make a version that works via L/E if possible... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickhx Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Yes, will see what I can do. Out of interest is Apple watch unlock or personal hotspot working for you? Those are the only things that don’t work now for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
