black.dragon74 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hello people, I have almost managed to turn my ASUS A555LA laptop into a perfect MacBook. (Yeah, guide will be available on this forum in a couple of days) The stuffs not working as of now are:- 1. VGA Port (Haswell IGPU doesn't support it. So, ignored) 2. Atheros AR9565 Bluetooth (In fact, it is a combo WIFI+BT card) So, here is a brief synopsis. The Bluetooth was working when I freshly installed OS X and also installed BTFirmwareUploader to SLE. It was working fine until I don't know what happened. Maybe I applied some PNLF patches to DSDT? I removed those patches and yet it was not working. Things I have tried:- 1. Simulating version of Windows by _OSI edits in ACPI tables. (Tried 2001, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2015 and Linux) 2. Reinstalling BTFirmwareUploader. 3. Updating kext caches. ACPI hotpatches I'm using:- (Please tell is one of them interferes with Bluetooth) 1. Change EHC1 to EH01 2. Change EHC2 to EH02 3. Change _OSI to XOSI 4. Change HECI to IMEI 5. Change SAT0 to SATA I am attaching my IOREG and ACPI tables down below. Please assist me. IOREG.zip ACPI.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black.dragon74 Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Tried but not working. Have you checked ACPI tables? Maybe something is wrong in them?I wonder why IOAHCIBluetoothDevice loads up in IOREG but is not functional.Maybe, we could use some help from EmlyDinesh here.
