crazylegsmurphy Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hey Everyone, I just updated to 10.10.2, and while everything seems to be working, my bluetooth card has lost functionality. I no longer have handoff support. The card I have is: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ABWB-WIFI-Bluetooth-Wireless-PCI-E-Card-For-Apple-Hackintosh-MAC-OS-X-Computer/400795926463?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107083358%26meid%3Dc0b6864b0ebb495d9d4972bffc1d377c%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D2%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D201159402207 Which I believe is BCM94360CD. Bluetooth Low Energy Supported: Yes Handoff Supported: No Instant Hotspot Supported: No Manufacturer: Broadcom Transport: USB Chipset: 20702B0 Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks, CLM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't understand is why it was working for OOB before the patch, and now, not. Plus, it doesnt seem to have affected anyone else with the same card.

mschilling Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 That doesn't sound right. You can try reinstalling fresh and re-updating and see if the results are the same. I'm getting the instant reboot with the update, and I haven't had a problem before with these updates either. I'm going to try using my GT610 card instead of using the HD4600 and see if that works, since that helped with the initial install of 10.10.

I have no idea what you're talking about. B. How this helps. C. Why I would want to disable Nvidia (creating one problem to solve another doesn't seem like a good solution). D.

Handoff patch changed in 10.10.2 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292542-airport-pcie-half-mini/page-10?do=findComment&comment=2090711 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsmurphy Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Someone on Reddit solved their issue by using the following steps: Here is what I did: Sign out of iCloud on my hackintosh, delete all accountsRebootVerify that nothing is signed in (check App Store too)Add a smUUID (run uuidgen and paste it into the SMBIOS panel of Clover Configurator)Add a board serial number (Serial Number + XXXXX) (17 alphanumeric chars)RebootNow it works! I'm hesitant to do this as I don't really want to change these settings unless I have to. I would just like to know why OS X suddenly thinks the card doesn't support Handoff....especially since other users with the same card had no issues. I suppose the next step is to physically pull the card out, put it back in and see if that fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsmurphy Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 I just wanted to update this. One of the other issues I had been having in addition to the Handoff, was that my Hack would suddenly, and without warning stop booting after a few boots. No explanation, it would just stop. Someone on Reddit suggested I use kext utility as a solution.They had a similar issue and it turned out, according to them, that the Nvidia drivers were failing to cache or something after a while. OS X would simply reject them, leading to the inability to boot.I ran the program and it did its thing....only to have my newly working Hack to not boot. I booted into OS X using my chameleon boot recovery disk (my Clover one never works), and ran the program again.Not only did it fix my boot issue, but it fixed Handoff as well. So, it must have been some permissions error or something on one of the kexts relating to the network card. As of this moment I have a working Hack with Handoff support. So, if you're having issues perhaps try running that software. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
