SOLVED Haswell i7-4770K + MSI Z87-G45 + BCM4331 macOS Sonoma 14.2

[EliteMacx86]

I think I tried everything and still it doesn't work as it should. No idea what is wrong.

I decided to check exactly what kind of model of BCM I have and it turns out it's not 4331 but 94331CSAC.

So according to the guide, I revert the patch, applied the changes as in the guide, patched and still nothing.

The last thing I could think of would be to format and install again the OS.

I honestly don't know anymore what could be wrong.
I also tested if the adapter or card is working properly and it turns out it does. I installed some Lenovo WiFi driver and I have fully working WiFi on Win10 x64 so that means that setup works just fine.

Maybe the hardware is bad itself? A lot of similar cases has been reported in the past.

After taking multiple attempts and failing, I think I have to try out Catalina and see if that will work. That network card is native supported.

Yes, try it.

Then why it would work at Win 10 after installing drivers for it from Lenovo? But yeah, the only way to figure it out, is to run it and see if it works.

Yes, try it.

It works on Catalina, no patching. I just installed in on fresh drive, and Wi-Fi works as it should be. Just a strange thing that in Hackintool PCI e tab it shows as disabled.

So what should I do as the next steps? Try to use OCLP and from there move to Sonoma?

That means you were missing something on Sonoma for sure. Check PM.

So installed Sonoma 14.2 using OCLP. I did check the folder with kexts before upgrading from Catalina to Sonoma.

This is Sonoma 14.2 OCLP made kexts:




What I did, I only use the necessary Wi-Fi kextes since rest of the things works just fine.



But the Wi-Fi isn't still working, so not sure what I did wrong. I think I will just stay at Catalina until I figure something out.

Create the EFI according to the guide first and then patch the WiFi. It will definitely work

The topic can be closed, I fixed with @EliteMacx86 guidance.

The setup should look like this:
