RehabMan Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I created a handoff patch based on DoktorDok's patch in CAT.

lisai9093 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Cheers! I came up with the same binary patch as yours. And it works on my machine. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306783-handoff-hotspot-patch/#findComment-2147319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RehabMan Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Cheers! I came up with the same binary patch as yours. And it works on my machine. Yes, someone else pointed that out (in PM). It would have been nice had google found it for me. I could have had an hour of my life back :-) Since both of us came up with the same, confirmation it must be close to Dokterdok's intention. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306783-handoff-hotspot-patch/#findComment-2147322 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you use a plist editor, such as Xcode or PlistEdit Pro. Xcode uses < > for hex data in <data> items.

mnfesq Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Make sure you use a plist editor, such as Xcode or PlistEdit Pro. Xcode uses < > for hex data in <data> items. Got it working. It wasn't the manner in which I entered the patch. I had used PlistEdit Pro after trying Clover Configurator. However, because this was not my main config.plist for Clover, the patch was in a file I called config2.plist. When booting up, I would enter Clover options and type in config2 for the config option. Apparently, it was already too late in the boot process (or config2 wasn't recognized) and hence, no working handoff patch. Is there a better way to use multiple config.plist files for Clover that you are aware of?

RehabMan Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Is there a better way to use multiple config.plist files for Clover that you are aware of? I simply rename config.plist as needed. (eg. config_test1.plist, config_test2.plist, rename/move/copy to config.plist as required).

Mrengles Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 If your gonna use this patch while editing your config.plist file as text use below. <dict> <key>Comment</key> <string>Enable: Broadcom USB Bluetooth 4.0 Continuity Support</string> <key>Find</key> <data>SIX/dEdIiwc=</data> <key>Name</key> <string>IOBluetoothFamily</string> <key>Replace</key> <data>Qb4PAAAA60Q=</data> </dict> 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306783-handoff-hotspot-patch/#findComment-2163500 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: I don't recommend editing config.plist with a text editor (which is why I didn't provide it in XML). Too much chance for human error. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306783-handoff-hotspot-patch/#findComment-2163516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
