Hi I have a BCM94352 Card http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JY6X9HM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. On a gigabyte z97-n board and an i3 4160. I had this working before on yosemite 10.10.1, but Had to reinstall. Im using chimera (chameleon, stolen and rebranded) (chameleon, stolen and rebranded), now I can get wifi to work but not bluetooth. No matter what I do. I feel like Im missing something do I need to configure any of the plist files for this card, or download the firmware for the uploader to upload? I installed the kext using Kext beast. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. ps. under system report in OS X under bluetooth it says no information avaliable

Hello everyone,   Little background information about firmware patch from linux:      I've developed this kext to update the firmware needed for those Atheros AR3012 and Broadcom Bluetooth device

Just another 1-2 weeks, and you will have updates from me sure. I am working on it as I have some issues with my dev environment right now to finish.    Thanks for the patience.

Ok, I've been looking at this thread and the original one for the bcd 4352.   For the bluetooth, do I use the v1.3 here or the 1.2 on the other thread? (https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2767

You don't need step 1 which is adding your devices ids to BT kext as my kext already does this part too. Can you try that without?

Hello EMlyDinEsH,

 

Yes. After, I tried again and I understood that I haven't need to change the BT kext.

 

Thank you, for your feedback.

Hello there I have a what seems to be an eBay knock off iMac BCM94360CD wifi/combo card with device id 4500 and vendor id 0a5c

 

I've added entries in the two info.plists as so:
 

<key>BCM-Test-4500-0a5c</key>
<dict>
        <key>BTController</key>
	<string>BCMCOMBO</string>
	<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
	<string>org.emlydinesh.driver.BTFirmwareUploader</string>
	<key>DeviceSpecificFw</key>
	<false/>
	<key>IOClass</key>
	<string>BTFirmwareUploader</string>
	<key>IOProviderClass</key>
	<string>IOUSBDevice</string>
	<key>idProduct</key>
	<integer>17664</integer>
	<key>idVendor</key>
	<integer>2652</integer>
</dict>

and

 

<key>AppleBroadcomBTUSBController_4500</key>
<dict>
	<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
	<string>com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport</string>
	<key>IOClass</key>
	<string>BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport</string>
	<key>IOProviderClass</key>
	<string>IOUSBDevice</string>
	<key>LMPLoggingEnabled</key>
	<false/>
	<key>idProduct</key>
        <integer>17664</integer>
        <key>idVendor</key>
	<integer>2652</integer>
</dict>

I've tried DeviceSpecificFw as true and false.

The messages in the log are as follows:

2/04/2015 9:40:06.000 pm kernel[0]: BTFirmwareUploader :: Broadcom WiFi/BT combo Bluetooth controller found
2/04/2015 9:40:06.000 pm kernel[0]: BTFirmwareUploader :: ProductID 0x4500, VendorID 0xa5c

2/04/2015 9:40:06.000 pm kernel[0]: BTFirmwareUploader :: Firmware patch failed.

I also have the requisite IOreg, system.log and system profile files if needed. How can I send them?

 

Many, Many, Many Thanks!

Upload somewhere and give me link in PM instead of here. Also tell me how did you install my kext and boot loader you are using?
