GUIDE How to Fix Bluetooth on macOS Monterey and Later

[EliteMacx86]

Hi,

Thanks for all the explanations. However, I still have problems with Bluetooth on Monterey... Either the Bluetooth disconnects frequently, or the "bluetoothd" process starts running at full speed to use 400% of the processor and it crashes the Bluetooth.

My specs :

• Motherboard : ASRock Z490 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3
• CPU : Intel Core i9-10850K
• GPU : AMD Radeon RX 6600
• Network card : BCM94360NG
• macOS version : 12.6 (21G115)
• OpenCore version : 0.8.8

The network card (BCM94360NG) is in the M.2 key E port on the motherboard. WiFi works perfectly. Bluetooth is well mapped by USBMap.kext (HS14 = internal 255). I added -btlfxallowanyaddr flag on startup and the BlueToolFixup kext but my problems persist.

What is the problem? How to access the Bluetooth logs (and see what's wrong)? My EFI, IOreg folder and my PCIe Report are here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1toCSCuw4Gs0972dt6EBHnb6eiFJCfhzL/view?usp=share_link

Read the guide and make the changes accordingly.

Can't you be more specific, please? I'm going to have to completely redo my configuration...

For me, everything was good:
Creating macOS/OS X Bootable USB
Preparing OpenCore EFI
Gathering Files
Setting up config.plist
Selecting a config.plist File

As the guide says, you should map the ports first.

Ok, i've made it work simply by USBInjectAll.kext, and then remapped it the proper (i guess) way. In both ways BT itself works fine, but is it possible to make AirDrop and Handoff work too?

What WiFi Card you're using?

AirDrop may not work as expected on such cards. Better to replace with Broadcom.
