Most of the times, when my laptop goes to sleep, bluetooth works. Rarely it doesn't. I will not spend more time in improving bluetooth: the solution BrcmBluetoothInjector+BrcmFirmwareData+BrcmPatchRAM3 in E/c/k/o seems quite reasonable for my user experience

By now my experience is quite good: I encountered once the issue you described, but nowadays this is the more stable solution I found (even if not working 100% of times). Keep updating this thread with your further experience

First of all, please fulfill properly your signature. Obviously with your system specs.

Update: 23 Dec 2019 I updated my EFI folder after having my bluetooth back to work again. As usual, I share it via Dropbox. In my case, as you might see, I have no kexts installed in /L/E Install the latest clover release, then replace files and folder using my shared ones. It's slightly different from Jake Lo's EFI published on official guide but for my experience this arrangement is working. macOS release: 10.15.2 Feedbacks in case of use are highly appreciated. Best wishes to all of you M

Hi, I don't have this issue but try switching to FakeSMC+ACPIBatteryManager and see what happens.

Hi @dctacsi, first of all let me say to fill in your signature: basically it is important to know your hardware before trying to give an hand. Secondly: why don't you use the EFI folder published by @Jake Lo? Your EFI seems quite different from that one. You can find that link in Jake's main clover guide. Please try first with those and then report. Do you have any kext installed in /L/E? Regards M

Don't worry. I can wait. In the meanwhile, I'm testing this solution (that one I asked you to test, too) and by now it seems to work. But I don't shout too much because I don't know if it is stable or not.

Dear @pafkata, please try testing your DW1560 using: - BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext - BrcmFirmwareData.kext - BrcmPatchRAM3.kext all of them with v. 2.5.0 and all of them in E/C/K/O. Delete those kext related to bluetooth (BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext, BrcmPatchRAM3.kext) in /L/E. Repair permissions and rebuild cache. Please test your system in common use, after a sleep/wake, after several reboots and then please share your experience. Thanks, Marco

Dear @Hervé, I apologize for the wrong orientation of that pic. I will for to rotate it in the proper way next time. Please consider that my E7450 has been formatted and I still don't have my password manager installed there. Without it, I cannot login to the forum. So I apologize again. Do you have any hint about our issue? I mean, mine and @pafkata?

I tried an hard method: formatting anything and perform a clean install of Catalina 10.15.2. Result: no way. I suspect it can be a usb wrong configuration too: I tried to add the HP13 to usb20internalhub (which appears in IOregistryexplorer when I close/open the lid) in USB-E7450.kext through PlistEdit Pro (pic attached) but it’s again useless, probably because I wrote it in a wrong way. @Jake Lo can you please have a check? thanks Ps: if the problem is with no solution, I suspect I will have to downgrade to Mojave edit: in order to be clear enough, I just want to underline that bluetooth works only if I close/open the lid (waiting for the hack going to sleep). But at the first boot (or reboot) it doesn't work.

Obviously I talked too early: after a couple of reboots bluetooth is still not working. I don't know what to do to solve it. Please give me an hand Thanks a lot

I don't want to talk too loud..but after updating to 10.15.2 the configuration seems to be working.. Is that correct to keep the SSDT-UIAC.aml (with proper USB configuration) and UsbInjectAll.kext (this one in /L/E)? If so, and if you agree, I might share my EFI folder with the community in a new git repo. When still on 10.15.1 I tried deleting virtualSMC (and SMCBatteryManager) and replace it with FakeSMC (and ACPIBatteryManager) but bluetooth was not working..

I confirm I have installed the latest version of BrcmPatchRAM (2.5.0) before posting here. So the issue appear with the latest version, but I'm pretty sure I have it also with 2.3.0d3. Might it be a problem of virtualSMC? many thanks edit: a partial solution occurred putting the machine to sleep (by closing the lid) and leaving it there for a few minutes. After waking up, bluetooth is working correctly. Do you have any possible hint? Thanks again

Thanks Jake. I will retry again but previously I had the same issue with 2.5.0 of BrcmPatchRAM. I can try again and I will let you know. But I suppose I will have the same problem

Hi everyone, I apologize about opening this new topic. As I wrote on the subject, I'm still suffering bluetooth issues: it might be available, but it isn't able to connect to anything. Most of the time it doesn't switch it on at all: the icon on the topbar is shaded grey but in system preferences it appears active, even if it doesn't work at all. I also tried to patch the SSDT for UsbInjectAll.kext, with no success. I tried to properly modify the USBPorts-E7450.kext, with no success. I'm still not so good in doing these things..can you please help me? I manually saved the ioregistry file because the install_tool.sh wasn't able to do by itself. Regards, Marco debug_23306.zip

Update 29 Oct 2019 Using the above mentioned method (with BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and BrcmPatchRAM3.kext, v.2.5.0) I'm still getting issues, because bluetooth firmware is not updated properly. The same issue occurs using v. 2.2.12 (latest published release on github) of BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and BrcmPatchRAM2.kext (BrcmPatchRAM3.kext was not released with 2.2.12) and v. 2.5.0 of BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and BrcmPatchRAM2.kext. So this is an issue I'm not able to solve. In any case, it is quite a strange issue because the same DW1560 (same vendor and ID) is installed on the other hack I have (HP Probook 560 G5) and for that it is working with no issues using v. 2.2.12 I don't understand why Edit: using BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and BrcmPatchRAM3.kext, v.2.3.0d3, firmware is correctly uploaded. I may conclude you will have to try different solutions in order to find your best fit for your machine. I'm not a wizard at all!! Edit #2: don't claim for a conclusion when it is not concluded at all! After 2 reboots, bluetooth firmware is not uploaded again anymore. I'm starting to be frustrated..it seems totally a mess..

Update: 28 Oct 2019 After updating to the latest clover (v5097) I encountered problems with broken bluetooth during sleep/wake in battery mode, which caused the complete freeze of the entire system! So I replaced my kexts in /L/E with those of Meize as already reported by @Jake Lo: this made the system not freezing anymore, but bluetooth is still unavailable after waking up from sleep. In any case, I updated my EFI folder in my personal dropbox space. I would like to build again my usbports.kext (since bluetooth is strictly related to usb ports) in order to see if I am able to solve or not. I will keep it updated

If you have an external hard drive, please consider to test the EFI folder with that. I’m still running Mojave on the internal SSD in order to properly test my external system. If you are able to test your system with a secondary drive, clone your main partition to the secondary drive, install Catalina with the shared EFI, and test your own system. I’m not a “pro”.. so please keep in mind. let us know about your test regards, marco

Hi @terorero, in order not to waste my personal space in the forum, I link the efi folder to my personal dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zkqviawydpao2px/AABIabLKc6ajW_QBn3ZiMCZha?dl=0 Kexts should be updated, but please check. Remove the microsoft folder if you don't have a windows partition on your disk. Let us know if you have problems about. Regards, Marco

Hi everyone, as the subject of my topic, I just want to share my personal experience about updating my E7450 (with Intel HD graphics only) from Mojave 10.14.6 to Catalina 10.15. First of all, I've just tried the updating for an external toshiba 256GB SSD used with a 3.0 USB case. The steps I followed are: 1. Follow the guide published by @Jake Lo and remember to use DSDT new hotpatch: 2. download catalina from system update utility 3. update clover to the latest version + lilu + AppleALC + WEG + kexts in /L/E 4. install catalina from the app 5. Bluetooth issue: for those who replaced the DW1560, use the guide here https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339175-brcmpatchram2-for-1015-catalina-broadcom-bluetooth-firmware-upload/, download the kexts and use also the BrcmBluetoothInjector (it has been re-written to be used with the BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and BrcmPatchRAM2.kext). 6. Repair permission and rebuild cache That's it! I hope to have been helpful for some of you Regards, Marco

Hi, did you ever try to repair permissions and rebuild cache? sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E* sudo touch -f /L*/E* sudo chmod -Rf 755 /S*/L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /S*/L*/E* sudo touch -f /S*/L*/E* sudo kextcache -Boot -U /

Hi everyone! I solved "downgrading" the EFI folder from 4920 to 4910, updating all kexts (via Clover Configurator), repaired permissions and rebuilded cache and finally upgrading to the last Clover release 4934. Many thanks to all! Cheers, Marco

Thanks @Hervé! Any further idea?

Here it is

Energy savings preferences are in default mode. The pmset -g command in terminal return this in attachment. I've been using Opera for a long time, probably from El Capitan and I didn't have any sleep problem
