Bluetooth Firmware Uploader

Recommended Posts

I have the opposite problem, I have the CE123H adapter and the wifi works perfectly. The bluetooth just will not work. I am using an HP 840 G1 laptop and I am not able to see the bluetooth device at all in windows 8.1 or osx. I fear that the device is booting up with the bluetooth disabled and there is no dedicated button to turn bluetooth on. I have tried injecting both the dell and default AzureWave device IDs and it doesn't appear to be working. I'm about to give up on this card since I am unable to view the needed IDs to load the kext. Is there a better card that I should try? I have the latest bios and this it the last device that I need to configure. Thanks.

WTF!!!!!! I fixed the issue by removing the battery and draining the energy out with the power button pressed. How can it be possible with the firmware damaged  !?

 

Can you give me your system log, ioreg and System profiler info without using my kext so i can take a look at whether your device need firmware update or not? PM me your details please as i can't keep up here sometimes.

Using the GC WB867D-I with the BCM4352 and I can't get the kext to load, tried using different versions (2.1 and 2.5.2  so far) but nothing. The wifi works fine but the bluetooth card isn't recognized at all. 

 

Using Kext Wizard I can see the BTFirmware kext isn't loaded however it is in my Systems/Library/Extensions folder

 

also tried -f in boot to force it and also resetting permissions in Kext Wizard, gonna try other methods of manually loading it I guess

 

Send me your system log, ioreg file and system profiler info so i can check on your device id values and see what could be problem.

tks for share, will it work correctly in 10.10 and enable the handofff?

 

 

Nice work Dinesh! Can you also make it show as 'built-in' bluetooth? Or is that impossible with an USB Bluetooth adapter.

 

Nevermind; made some edits to your Bluetooth kext and now it shows as Built In (screenshot). However still no Handoff in Yosemite.

 

Well, the handoff feature is Apple own implementation so this firmware patch (which is only to provide the update needed for some devices to work with the all the functionalities according to Bluetooth standards with the drivers) doesn't going to help for this handoff specifically. We might need to look into the Bluetooth drivers of OSX and the Apple Bluetooth firmware for any ideas.

 

I'll try to look into this more soon and will share if i was able to find anything i can do in Apple bluetooth binary or firmware update.

Well, seems like your bluetooth is not detected. Read the posts from this link which could be related to you: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2925-bluetooth-firmware-uploader/page-18

What is the model name of your bluetooth? is it standalone bluetooth or comes in Combo with WiFi? Send me your ioreg file and system profiler info without my kext so i can take a look?

The kext does indeed make my bcm 94352 combo work on my asus g75vw but, I can only sleep once. If i try to sleep again it will just hang. I am stumped. I am guessing dsdt issue but I don't get why it would sleep once. I attached an IOREG dump and my dsdt if you could take a look? Thank you very much again for all your hard work with hackintoshes.

EDIT: Using toledo's kext in combination with yours using FW=3, I can sleep and connect my bluetooth devices. However, if I turn bluetooth off and go to sleep, it doesn't sleep and I have to forcefully turn it off. I think I'm close to solving it though. I think it could be xhc error with my usb controllers? I will update if I find anything else.

The device is a built in combo bt&wifi on acer v3-571g. The wifi module is not powered at startup and not seen in OSX but only the bluetooth seems to be working. I will attach/send my ioreg tomorrow.
