Administrators Hervé Posted July 4, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 4, 2019 Ok, got it. I've reverted to uncompressed firmware file; it's not as if it made a big difference in terms of size... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluetoothIsNotAvailable Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 @wl_michael is bluetooth stable for you now? I tried your kexts and I am still having problems with connecting to devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wl_michael Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 No, unfortunately not yet. There are always disconnects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanzaozijun Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 What's interesting is that occasionally Bluetooth is a good use, not every time it is available. Is this information in the log the key to the problem? BrcmPatchRAM2: uploadFirmware could not open the device! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttonhead411 Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 Hi everyone, Through testing, I've managed to confirm the following, FYI @Hervé maybe it will be of use. When using Rehabman kext to inject firmware (BrcmPatchRam2& BrcmFirmwareRepo/Data), bluetooth is: - Able to be enabled - Able to detect bluetooth devices - NOT able to sustain connection to bluetooth devices When using Rehabman kext to ONLY inject bluetooth (using BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, or when firmware fails to load), bluetooth is: - Able to be enabled - Able to detect bluetooth devices - Able to connect to bluetooth devices, but not stable/jumpy connection, and will disconnect/crash bluetooth after a while It is weird, but without firmware upload, the card is able to do more with bluetooth, than without firmware upload. However, the card is still not usable with this setup. Note also that this behaviour is only happening to 1028:0021cards. for 1028:0023, there are no bluetooth issues, but wifi is garbage on this model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtv1234 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I have 1028:0023 and have bluetooth issues like the ones mentioned here. In fact, my bluetooth is not even recognized without using bluetoothinjector kext. I'd also like to say that I finally got this card working without issues on wifi. All my previous problems are fixed, to do so I had to tape the pins like Naidis did and the moment I did it I stopped having crashes or slow downs.

Administrators Hervé Posted July 7, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 7, 2019 I'm not using any Bluetooth injector kext at all and have no issue whatsoever. TBH, I don't even know where the idea of this injector came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junaed.rx Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 @Hervé Could you please share your working brcm Kext for bluetooth. On my 1028:0023 (08pkf4), I am also like others facing bluetooth instability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 10, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 10, 2019 There's really nothing to it; it's as described in previous pages, i.e. Rehabman's latest build with uncompressed firmware v5803 posted on p5. Make sure to adjust PCI ids if required of course... Bluetooth_kexts.zip I've remembered I had my 12yr old Vostro200 Bluetooth mouse & keyboard lying around so I connected the mouse via Bluetooth and been using it without issue whatsoever for the last hour or so. SysInfo reports BT firmware v7 c5799, so not sure the targeted firmware actually loads but everything works fine for sure... Edit: no BT mouse disconnection or other issue after over 3hrs. All Ok as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
