GUIDE How to Fix Bluetooth on macOS Monterey and Later

[EliteMacx86]

Managed to fix that by cleaning logs, but bluetooth works only if I boot into ventura and then into sequoia. Guess I will stick to ventura til I get a better wifi card or a real macbook

Attach PR Files from Sequoia. If you're unable to boot, just attach the EFI.

Seems like the kexts are outdated. Update all the kexts to the latest version and load the kexts in sorted order.

Sorry, no. I ended up buying a macbook air in the end, lol

Hi!
I am trying to get fenvi BCM94352Z to work. I managed to get WiFi working by using airportbrcmfixup, but bluetooth doesn't find any devices. I tried running with bluetoolfixup + bcrmpatchram3, no luck there. In addition to that, under USB in system report it says current required is 0. MAC address is getting detect under bluetooth tab there.

Hi im also trying to make that card work on Sonoma 14.5 and above (i intend to update to Sequoia later).

Untill now my hackintosh was runing sonoma 14.5 on my Acer nitro 5 AN515-55-51QY fine. Now im upgrading my AX201 WiFi Bluetooth Card to a BCM94352Z.

So for now i disabled the intel wifi / BT kexts, and added those for the broadcom card following this thread.

For now i managed to get WiFi work and bluetooth too (bidirectional airdrop, handoff, continuity). Despite few instabilities in the BT (Airpods audio), the issue i am facing is that that Xcode can't connect to my apple Watch unlike my iPhone.
I have the following error:

The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.dt.deviceprep error -25.)
Recovery Suggestion: The operation timed out. Try again.

I believe its because system Report show the BT controller's chipset as "THIRD_PARTY_DONGLE".
Here is what i get with :

ifconfig awdl0

system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType

How to fix this issue?

Just sharing my experience with BCM94360NG, so anyone with the similar condition can try this.

TL;DR: Try to disconnect all power on your hackintosh, reset CMOS on your motherboard (I did it, not sure if it is necessary). This may save your BCM94360NG if it is in DFU mode.

I upgraded my system from Ventura to Sequoia recently. There were some problems with my OpenCore config so the upgrade failed several times and it seems made my Bluetooth module of BCM94360NG into the DFU mode.

The Bluetooth address was NULL, firmware version was "v0 c0" and the transport mode is "UART". It looks like in the DFU mode but not exactly same with other information in the guide. For example, the product ID in the USB section of System Information app was not reported as "0xf007" and there was not any "Broadcom Bluetooth Download Device". In the USB section, it just showed as two "Composite Device" under "BRCM20702 Hub", and there was not any "Bluetooth USB Host Controller". However, I can confirm it was also unfunctional in Windows and was shown as a unrecognized USB device (something like this, this is not the exact English name shown in Windows since my Windows runs in Chinese). Since, BCM94360NG runs in UART mode now, I also unable to flash the firmware to it.

Finally, I tried disconnecting the power cable of my hackintosh and reset CMOS of the motherboard. Then, BCM94360NG returned to functional after reconnecting the power. It seems Apple's genuine Bluetooth chip will exit DFU mode automatically if it is entirely powered off.

Third party dongle shouldn't cause any issues. Enable ExtendBTFeatureFlags and then check. Also, ensure the device is en0 and signed into the same Apple ID.

Will add it in the guide. Thanks for the info!
