Hello.

I installed the final 2.8 version. My bluetooth is now said to be "Connectable" in system information, before installing the kext it is a "no".

However, my the mac is still not detected nor detecting any device. I think it's because my Product ID is not listed.

It is AR3012 VID: 04ca PID: 3005

 

Please help me with the kext. Thanks

 

UPDATE:

Managed to add my device to the plist. Now it detects and successfully paired with my phone.

But after seconds it starts to show that it's not connected. It won't share internet connection too. Any suggestions?

 

It will keep connection as long as you are doing something like file transfer, network access etc., but it will get disconnected on idle. 

 

EDIT: PM for new version and also try to experiment with fw plist edit and see.

Upd: version 2.7 is working, but I can't turn off device from Mac. Is it normal?

 

For Atheros BT  you can't turn off as they are controlled by Generic Bluetooth driver unlike Broadcom which has dedicated driver so its normal. You can disable BT only if you have hardware buttons like Fn keys.

Hi, I am trying to get my bluetooth working.  I have an Atheros AR9462 combo wifi/bluetooth in my Acer S3-391 laptop.  The bluetooth is recognized as an AR3012, with Product ID E056 and Vendor ID 489.  I know the wifi is not supported, but the bluetooth just needs the firmware uploaded.  I first tried your kext with the default Linux fw as 'YES' in the info.plist, but that caused the bluetooth to not be recognized at all.  I then set the value to 'NO', which allows the device to be recognized.  But it seems the kext is expecting a value for the Windows fw, even though it seems that is not selectable for the AR3012 (based on my system log).  I have attached some screen grabs and my ioreg output.

I am also uploading two screen grabs.  One of the Bluetooth device after soft booting following a boot into Windows, and one after a cold boot in Yosemite.  One difference I noticed was that the firmware version loaded after the softboot (6.4354), is different than what is loaded without booting Windows first (7.4354).

Hi guys,

 

I'm on 10.10.3 and have a Broadcom bluetooth chip (VID: 0B05, PID: 17CF) which I can't seem to get to work.

 

What I have done:

  1. Downloaded BTFirmwareUploader.zip
  2. Unzipped the file and placed the .kext on my desktop
  3. Used kextbeast to install the BTFirmware.kext 
  4. Reboot

 

My Apple Trackpad is not found by the system though. Is there something I'm missing? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thx in advance.

Try the new version 2.8.5 and see, if you still have issues then get me files i asked in bug reporting.

My kext updates the firmware so it changes from that 6.x to 7.x
