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!

How did you install my kext? Get me your ioreg and system log with my kext installed so i can take a look.

 

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

 

Can you install my kext using kext utility and get me your system log and ioreg file?

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?

I'm on OS X 10.10.3 (second update), and I tried to update to BTFirmwareUploader v2.8, but it randomly works. Sometimes it works just fine, sometimes it doesn't and bluetooth is not available at all in that case. I reverted back to 2.7 with which I've no such issue.

 

When it does not work I've something like this in the log:

18/04/2015 08:51:57,000 kernel[0]: BTFirmwareUploader :: Device is Azurewave 4352HMB combo
18/04/2015 08:51:57,000 kernel[0]: BTFirmwareUploader :: Using device specific firmware v14 c5575
18/04/2015 08:51:57,000 kernel[0]: BTFirmwareUploader :: Started the upload of firmware (70103 bytes)...
18/04/2015 08:51:57,000 kernel[0]: BTFirmwareUploader :: Read event failed with a timeout
18/04/2015 08:51:57,000 kernel[0]: BTFirmwareUploader :: Read event failed with a timeout
 
Not that with 2.7 I noticed that the firmware uploaded size is different (70105 bytes with 2.7 vs 70103 bytes with 2.8) while the firmware version is exactly the same (v14 c5575)
 
and if I restart the computer, i'll never work again and the log will show nothing. I've to shutdown the computer completely , wait about 1 to 2 minutes and turn it on again to expect BT to work again.
 
Attached find my IORegistryExplorer v2.1 extract (extracted when using working 2.7 version):
