Hey all i followed a guide on a "different site" to get my Maximus VI Impact working, so far all but 3 things are working possibly 4 ill update the last when i get home... but the first 3 are as follows..

 

1) Video card is a Radeon HD 5870 it shows up under about this mac as a Radeon 5000 series... any clue how to fix this?

2) Bluetooth was working on 10.9.0 but once i update to 10.9.1 it no longer works.... shows but can't connect anything... anyone know of an updated kext?

3) iMessage is not working, add the FileNVRAM.dylib into my /Extra/modules folder, changed my iCloud password and updated my credit card info in iTunes but am still getting the activation error....

 

Any help would be great, otherwise everything is working so far just need to test the sleep and awake functions... but i never use standby so not a big deal to me if it does not work...

my system components are in my sig

10.9 - BCM4352/AW-CE123H BT Pairing


 


Testers needed:


 


For Mavericks (10.9 and newer),  BCM20702A0 BT moved from EHCI (USB 2.0) in 10.8.5 to XCHI (USB 3.0) in 10.9.  It is not possible to reliably pair BCM20702A0 BT devices on XCHI (new Intel XCHI driver may help).  In the interim, an alternate pairing procedure is proposed:


 


1. Remove an previously paired devices.


2. Power down


3. Set BIOS/Advanced/USB Configuration/xHCI/Disabled (note current setting)


4. Restart


5. Pair all BT devices


6. Power down


7. Set BIOS/Advanced/USB Configuration/xHCI/Enabled (previous setting)


8. Restart


 


Disabling XHCI forces BCM2070A2 BT to load in EHCI, allowing pairing. Once paired, BCM2070A2 BT works on XCHI as expected.

Hey I have an ASUS Maximus VI impact as well, I followed a guide on a different site to get my hack to work.

To get the bluetooth working after updating from 10.9.0 -> 10.9.1 all i did was go to my bios and under

Advanced \ USB configuration 

I enabled EHCI Hand-off loaded OS X and was able to pair my magic mouse and track pad for some reason though I can't pair my apple keyboard....

but everything else works great..

Hi,

sorry for my English...

This installation instructions works great on Z87-DELUXE, I can even recommend you few more things which you can do. So, let's start: 

 

LAN cards:

Realtek -> you know from the first post - how to set it up. 

Intel -> There is "AppleIntelE1000e.kext" attached, or you may find it googling. 

 

WiFi card:

This is the easiest part,

Just edit: /System/Library/Extensions/IO80211Family.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AirPortBrcm4360.kext/Contents/Info.plist ,

and add your device/vendor IDs, for example this is mine: <string>pci14e4,43b1</string>.

it works just great. 

 

Bluetooth:

Using System Profiler we can see that the device is: BCM20702A0, with ProductID/VendorID = 0x17cf/0x0b05 = 6095/2821(from hex).  

So you have to edit this file:

/System/Library/Extensions/IOBluetoothFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport.kext/Contents/Info.plist

and add new record: 

<key>BroadcomUSBBluetoothHCIController - MediaLink BT4.0 Adapter</key>

<dict>

    <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>

    <string>com.apple.iokit.BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport</string>

    <key>IOClass</key>

    <string>BroadcomBluetoothHostControllerUSBTransport</string>

    <key>IOProviderClass</key>

    <string>IOUSBDevice</string>

    <key>idProduct</key>

    <integer>6095</integer>

    <key>idVendor</key>

    <integer>2821</integer>

</dict>

Be careful with the syntax, use tabs wherever it's needed. 

After this step it's recommended to clear, rebuild the Extensions cache, and you will see the new device in System Profiler.

 

Audio:

Here we are talking about ALC1150, which is actually ALC900, but with a little bit better quality. I'm almost sure that this codec is too similar to ALC882, and will be happy if some guru from the forum help a little bit with AppleHDA.kext. I have attache Linux codec dumps for this, and will be really happy to assist with the tests. Meanwhile we can use  VoodooHDA , which works for me, but in my case i have few more changes which I have made in the DSDT and I'm not sure - will it work or not without the modifications, will be great if someone make tests. 

 

Updates: thanks again "toleda", here it is: link

 

System:

In my case it is configured as: iMac/Mac13,2 from /Extra/smbios.plist , and the /Extra/Extensions/ are all attached on the link below.

This system build is very stable and fast ...

 

Good Luck .

My mistake, permissions problem, fixed,  Two choices: 1. download and install updated kext or 2. Terminal/chmod 755 bcm4352bt.kext.  

Rebuild kernel cache and restart.
