Bluetooth Firmware Uploader


EMlyDinEsH

Recommended Posts

Hi EMlyDinEsh,

I have bought a BCM94352HMB combo Wifi+BT card and I have been reading and searching articles to make it fully work.

The Wifi works perfectly with the toleda's BCM4352.kext, however, I am still having troubles with the Bluetooth.

I have installed your kext and I know it successfully loaded in the system.log, but in system profiler, "connectable" shows "No" and "discoverable" shows "off". Tried to pair a Magic Mouse but the bluetooth manager just keep searching. I am so frustrated now after hours of try!

 

Attached are the IOReg and the screenshoots of the system profiler, please take a look into it and I hope you could kindly help with this common problem on a combo card.

 

Try to delete the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist from /Library/Preferences and reboot then try to pair from Notebook (as there is a bug in visibility with OSX driver which sometimes doesn't show itself). PM me so i can give you new build i've been working on so you can try. 

 

 

EDIT: Seems like your firmware was not updated to new one as i can see from the picture which is still v4096, thats why it was not working properly. Lets try the new build and send me your system log from Console app for each so i can check.

Hi EMlyDinEsH,

 

I have the same problem of meattattat.

 

I have bought a BCM4352 combo Wifi+BT card, the Wifi works perfectly but still having troubles with the Bluetooth.
I have a Probook 4540s with Clover bootloader and your kext was installed in the EFI partition.

 

In system profiler, "connectable" shows "No" and "discoverable" shows "off". Tried to pair a Magic Mouse but the bluetooth manager just keep searching.
 
Attached are the IOReg, system.log and the screenshoots of the system profiler,

 

Could you please help me?

 

Thanks a lot

Deleted the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and reboot but still no luck, even with a brand new magic trackpad.

Please send me the latest build for a try :?

Well, you may get those errors because my kext was loaded so early in the boot process even before your device is ready to respond so it tried back again after some time then it succeeded at the end with patch success message. How and where did you install my kext? It works best if you have it in SLE. Let me see your system log file from Console app so i can take a look more. PM me for beta test so i can give you new build.

I had it in SLE. Weirdest thing -- I uninstalled the kext due to the kernel panics, and Bluetooth is still working, even after a cold boot. Maybe I don't need this after all to get my adapter working? Or is there any chance the firmware upload could stick? So, yeah, as long as BT works I'm probably not going to reinstall.

Thanks this fixed my lack of bluetooth functionality on the Intel NUC D34010WYK, with the PCIe half height AR9285.

 

I installed your (Thanks) BTFirmwareUploader_v2.5_FInal.zip which fixed Bluetooth on the NUC running 10.9.1

 

For the Wifi fix, I made the one edit which has been mentioned in various places for the AR9285 in /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortAtheros40.kext/Contents

 

Adding the line all of this was found on various OS X sites that all spoke to this change/fix. Edit Info.plist

 

Find the line that looks like the line below.                                                   

<string>pci168c,24</string>

 

Add the new line that contains the following (looks like below)  

<string>pci168c,30a1</string>:

 

Now the AR9285 provides both Bluetooth (Thanks OSXLatitude again), and wifi on my NUC running 10.9.1

I am using AzureWave Broadcom BCM94352HMB on my Intel NUC DC3217IYE and the Wifi is working great, the BT works really well on my Logitech T651 rechargeable trackpad, but my first cheap bluetooth keyboard wasn't reconnecting and the bluetooth preference pane would lock up on me, so I removed it and got a Logitech K760 solar keyboard which definitely performs better but if I leave it for awhile and come back, it's disconnected and the preference pane freezes up again. Usually I just reboot and it reconnects fine. 

 

Anyone seen this happen? Why is it just my keyboards having the problem, and what might be making the preference pane beachball on me?

 

[edit: replaced IO802Family, IONetworkingFamily, and IOBluetoothFamily with vanilla kexts and started over with these instructions and it seems to be fixed. http://www.tonycrapx86.com/mavericks-laptop-support/114961-jays-monkeybook-pro-ultimate-sony-vpc-se-customac-build-50.html#post774456]

I am using AzureWave Broadcom BCM94352HMB with bcm4352.kext .

 

I have added the BTFirmwareUploader.kext and it is showing detection of the bluetooth card and saying its using the combo firmware (via the console messages).

 

I can turn bluetooth on and off, however i cannot find any devices when i search nor can any devices see my mac.

 

Can anyone lead me in the right direction to get this working.

 

Thanks,

Dave
