aikidoka25 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Well…..it actually did change from Beta. My Asus combo card (a broadcom a/b/g/n/ac + BT 4 Le card) worked fine in the DPs and was then blocked in the final DP and the release (and swapping kexts from the DP cannot re-activate). So yes, this is precisely what Apple have done. As well of course as specifically excluding certain Mac models - which otherwise would work with their built in cards - from functioning by including a blacklist of Macs (!) within the IOBluetoothfamily.kext (you can read more about that here if you want: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1803192). I know this because to get my own Mac working I had to remove the blocked MacBookAir4,2 id from the kext…. ... Can we use Clover to patch the kext on the fly?

luki1979 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Just an update. The card I bought on eBay works perfectly in OS X 10.10. In case someone else is thinking of doing the same. Bluetooth and WiFi are natively supported, no block, or issues. That's good to hear, this is second week I'm waiting for it to arrive from China . I see you using MacPro3,1 smbios like me, these makes white list theory invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiethemorris Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Can we use Clover to patch the kext on the fly? yes, if you know how to make the patch. Depending on your configuration you might be better off just using a different SMBios though. I wish I would have at least gotten an honorable mention or something in that guide... I was the one who did the original patch. http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=19344855&postcount=118 but whatever. I'm just glad people are still able to find workarounds for this stuff so that's the most important thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew.j.aguirre Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Glad that these two parts do indeed work. However, I had to sign out to get Handoff to work, and now I can't sign back in to iMessage without getting the Customer Code >.< . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aikidoka25 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 This guy here for the card, and here for the PCI-E adapter. I bought the 2 items however after installed the computer cannot boot into OS. After the BIOS screen it restarted again into a loop. I had connected the USB cable into a USB header. Or, is there any setting (which I don't think so) that I have to set on the motherboard or bios? I am trying to get a replacement from the seller.

For me it worked OOB with the exception of my Windows partition, which required a driver for bluetooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aikidoka25 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 the seller asked me to send the item back and she will refund me upon reception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered the two items too and now I'm afraid this will happen to me as well :/ Is it necessary to sign out or is there another trick? I don't want to break iMessage again after I just got it fixed by calling Apple.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, you will have to log out and in again to get handoff/continuity working with iOS devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ^ From my understanding there is no way to get iMessage up and working without it failing soon after unless you clone the ROM & MLB from a real Mac.

todesto Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 cloning doesnt work anymore for now. ********update********** There are some posts saying their messages on hack started working again. so maybe it's good time to try it right now if anyone needs to log off and log back on again.

thedubiousdubber Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 There is more detail in the MLB thread, but cloning does work, and it may have failed at one point for some, but not all. It can also be dangerous as some pointed out that the Mac they cloned values from were no longer working. There was also a theory that rom and mlb are being tagged to UUID now, so the second device that tries loggin on with same MLB/ROM would fail authorization. If anyone does get their iMessages working on their hack, with the amount of changes and checks that Apple is putting in place, it likely won't work for long.

ergot Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Guys my adapter is BCM94331CSAX using with the adapter mention here in the post. for BT I have connected the PWR however I have only WIFI and not BT, I checked this model in WIKI and it says that this model come with WIFI+BT I did not connected the antenna because the cable head is larger than the connector on the module.
