M_//T_//ias Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 No the debug thing does nothing really, besides putting the module off (reset). @nyolc8 Once "Disable Bluetooth" is clicked the module goes off, but does come on again the second time you click the"Disable Bluetooth", with third click it just stays on, then the debug option puts it off, if you click "Reset the.....".

nyolc8 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 The coming 10.8.5 supplemental patch will fix bluetooth dongles, so It will be fixed in 10.9 too. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291822-1085-out/?p=1948485 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawTaylor Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Unfortunately any of the solutions mentioned above worked for me. I have a CSR usb dongle (0x0001 0x0a12) which should work without any problems. It's always on, no turn off / disable option, but it doesn't see any device, magic mouse, keyboard, headphones... I tried it before updating to 10.8.5 and 10.9 DP8, worked like a charm on 10.8.4. Does anyone here have the same dongle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Did you tried on 10.9GM? Still broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawTaylor Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 No I didn't. Is it possible to upgrade my DP8 install to GM? Or a clean install is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 I think, only clean install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawTaylor Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I thought so... I'll try it later, I have a lot of work to do, so maybe mav will be in its final version when I have time to try it. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawTaylor Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I downloaded the supplemental update for 10.8.5 and I and found the iobtfamily. The only change I found around bluetooth. A broadcom kext. With only 2 files, info.plist and versions.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_//T_//ias Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Good heavens, what are they doing? - how can that empty kext do anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawTaylor Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Good heavens, what are they doing? - how can that empty kext do anything? I guess that the pkg only appends / updates the 2 files to the existing kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_//T_//ias Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Well that's goodnight from me. I guess that the pkg only appends / updates the 2 files to the existing kext. Oh ok I see. Their coding must be messed-up surely, I cannot see why it's behaving so weirdly ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 10.9 GM - still the same... also there is no discoverable option. Why oh why they needed to f.ck this up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawTaylor Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 10.9 GM - still the same... also there is no discoverable option. Why oh why they needed to f.ck this up... Can you upload the GM's iobtfamily kext? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telepati Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Finally mien is f**** native works no add any vendor or system ID or delete something... No lagging or no disconnect to every 5 seconds... If you make your bootable USB with myHack or Vanilla type with this two ways will never works. I tested and make it almost 3 days and several install delete reinstall this to ways never works or I can't work. Anyways create USB with this "http://www.osx86.net/files/file/189-boot-usb-os-x-mavericks-109-dppkg/". This is really easy really useful .pkg. I saw this yesterday different thread on the insanely.com and first try everything worked. First boot use this flags -x -f -v and open safe boot then pair your bluetooth mouse and keyboard... Hope will work to you... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope will work to you... Your workaround didn't worked for me in DP8, but now that I updated to GM (through App Store ) it did work like a charm. I'm really thankful for it. Those who had questioned about "Visibility". You can enable/disable it under "Sharing" on System Preferences, look at the "Bluetooth sharing". If someone wants to try out the iobtfamily.kext under DPX or 10.8.5, the download link is below. It doesn't seems to be GM stock kext, since it still has my "Orange tag". https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7docch4grqdn781/cl1z8q-lMX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 For me bluetooth is working (and worked), but I still can't turn it off, because then I need to edit plist to get it back enabled again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_//T_//ias Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 My bt works as well, but as nyolc8 says, it cannot be turned off and on without messing things up (plist). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telepati Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Also tips for everyone. Don't use magicprefs this is the mother of the all problems... I clean install GM and installing my programs when I install magicprefs all bluetooth connections gone. I cant on/off or connecting again when I delete this program everthings come back.. I can on/off and connection again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 I can't disable it on a totally clean installed GM. Also I don't even heard about that magicpref thing. Someone (I think TimeWalker was) said that my problem present because apple changed how the driver works. Apple implemented a power management thing into the kext which now checking the bluetooth dongle's power state. But my (and other people's who have the same issue) bluetooth dongle can't send information about it's power state. So the driver don't "knows" what is the bluetooth dongle's current power state. Apple should modify the driver by adding a rule into it: "if the btdongle is CSR(with the problematic firmware and such), then skip power state checking". But I think they wouldn't do anything like this... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
