I have found a dirty way to make ar3012 and perhaps other stuff initially supported by this kext work in 10.13.6.

No VM or other crazy methods are needed.

What I've done is I installed 10.12.6 usb kexts over the original:

 

IOUSBHostFamily.kext.zip 801.12 kB · 67 downloads   IOUSBFamily.kext.zip 800.21 kB · 61 downloads

 

 

Do I need any other kext for BT to work(eg: `BTFirmwareUploader.kext`)?
Mine is working with the VM method. But I want to load without opening VM.

I replaced both the `IOUSBHostFamily` and `IOUSBFamily` from S/L/E. and kept  BTFirmwareUploader.kext inside `Clover/kexts/Others`. Still bluetooth is not getting detected.

My card was natively recognized on mac Catalina but didn't find any devices ( magic mouse and magic keyboard ).

Would somebody give me a solution?

 

PS: The card was not recognized on mac Mojave as here: 

 

Vendor ID: 0x0CF3

Product ID: 0xE005

 

Thank you.

Why do you keep posting about that same old issue in this thread when a solution has already been posted here and here?

 

This being said, if this still fails to sort out your DW1707 Bluetooth issue, I think it's fair to say that:

  1. given it does not work in High sierra
  2. given it does not work in Mojave
  3. given it does not work in Catalina

it probably will never work (again).

I Have a DW1703 that is AR3012. i found a way to make the VM method work for Catalina 10.15.4. its a hacky method that will break if you update unless you undo it before you take an update. this is a rough guideline.

 

make Mac disk RW

make EFI Visable

remove/copy IOBluetoothFamily.kext from S/L/E

Place IOBluetoothFamily.kext in C/K/O

rebuild caches

 

this part repeats everytime you boot:

boot with IOBluetoothFamily.kext and its underlings disabled in clover

proceed with vm method

REBOOT (without turning off) back into mac os without disabling in clover

 

EDIT= another less destructive way

get setup to do vm method

once vm is open go to bluetooth page in ubnutu

in the add usb/bluetooth window of vmwarefusion spam the checkbox for your wireless device (will only disconect from mac for a second) untill you are able to turn device on and off using key combo
