no, I use BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext. Follow the README, choose one of BrcmFirmwareRepo and BrcmFirmwareData, right?

Update:

I'm confused now, I try to use BrcmFirmwareData.kext in E/C/K/O and BT works! I try to cold start twice and it still woks! Amazing! I tried BrcmFirmwareRepo many days ago, but the difference is kexts put in different dictionary. I follow the README to put kext in correct dictionary or only use BrcmBluetoothInjector without other kexts, BT didn't work or be not stable.

Anyway, I put BrcmFirmwareData, BrcmBluetoothInjector and BrcmPatchRAM2 the three kexts in E/C/K/O and BT works now.

It looks like that I can't believe the README.

After cleaning up my folders, I couldn’t get BT working so I tried BrcmBluetoothInjector (in S/L/E) and it's working fine now.

EDIT: So I guess disregard, for now at least. I switched my Clover bootloader on my main install to OC and found that I somehow was running a completely different version of the BrcmPatchRAM2 kexts for Catalina than what is the current version on the first page of the thread . I replaced with that and all is good now it seems.

I have a Dell 1830 (BCM943602BAED) installed on a Asus X299 Prime Deluxe. I'm having trouble getting this to work with Catalina with OC 0.0.4 as bootloader. It does work for me with Mojave and Catalina booting with Clover, as well as Mojave booting with OpenCore, but not Catalina booting with OpenCore. I believe it's an issue with BrcmPatchRAM2 not loading the firmware due to a conflict with OC, possibly caused by my USB config, but I can't figure it out. Here are some scenarios:

If I start Mojave with Clover, BT works correctly. Then restart from OC USB into Catalina, with all three kexts in the OC EFI, BT does not show up.

If I start Mojave with Clover, BT works correctly. Then restart from OC USB into Catalina, with only BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext in the OC EFI, then BT works because the firmware is still loaded. BUT, if I fully shutdown the computer then boot directly into Catalina using OC, then BT doesn't work because the firmware is no longer loaded due to power cycle.

Also, if I cold boot Mojave with Clover or Catalina with OC with just BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext, then BT shows up in Sys Prefs, and devices are found, but I can't get any devices to connect.

In all scenarios, if I have only BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext installed in EFI, then most of my bus-powered USB3 HDDs will not mount, so something happens with not getting enough USB power. I do get enough USB power when all 3 kexts are in the EFIs, whether BT is working or not.

In Catalina with OC, here is what shows in System Info for BT under USB:

In Hackintool I see this for the BT, so I know firmware isn't getting loaded:

Here is a log of the boot and loading of the kexts (there are USB errors): I got this log using a terminal command:

[0cf3:e005] DW1707 Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 - how extract firmware

Good day.
I have a module DW1707 which has Wifi and bluetooth Atheros 9565 Qualcomm QCA9565. I managed to get the Wifi working properly. Unfortunately, in order for Bluetooth to work in macOS, you must first start Windows, and then reboot into macOS, because when you boot Windows, the bluetooth driver loads the Bluetooth firmware into the module.
I read the documentation and looked at the files in the OS-X-BrcmPatchRAM repository and realized that this kext loads the firmware into the bluetooth module and this firmware is in .plist file as base64 data.
I read the instruction in the README file on how to make a similar kext for my bluetooth module, but there are no files with the extension in the driver files for QCA9565 .hex.

Can anyone help to modify this kekst to download the firmware in my bluetooth QCA9565? I attached the driver files to the post.

Here are the drivers on the official website: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=g66t8&oscode=wt64a&productcode=vostro-3267-desktop&lwp=rt

Here are the drivers for bluetooth only: https://yadi.sk/d/cYGax0NEdoCF3w

Product ID: 0xE005
Vendor ID: 0x0CF3

QCA9565 Bluetooth-Driver.7z

These kexts only support Broadcom.

Yes, I know, but brcmpatchram2.kext and BrcmBluetoothInjector.allow the kext to load the firmware in the bluetooth module of kext BrcmFirmwareData.kext. I do not know how well I understood, but I saw that the firmware code in the source code is stored in base64 data, and when compiled it is stored already in .zhx files.
That is, if you do not go into the details of the implementation, a set of these kexts during the MacOS boot loads the firmware (which was extracted from the Windows driver) in the bkuetooth module. So, theoretically, replacing ProductID and VendorID and base64 firmware data itself, you can download absolutely any firmware for any bluetooth module that supports this function.

My Bluetooth works on macOS, but only when the firmware is loaded.

I just want to know which of the driver files is the firmware and, accordingly, is loaded into the RAMUSB of my bluetooth module. I attached the driver files in the comments above.

I will experiment with it myself, but I think you as an Objective-C developer will do it better.

As far as I know it will only work with Broadcom hardware but you can try it. The *.dfu files are the firmware files.

EDIT: The *.dfu files in your driver do not appear to be a format I recognize. They look compressed but I can't tell you what method. Only a firmware with the first character as ':' will be a valid .hex file.

Hey. I found out that the-darkvoid ported the "dfu-util" utility for macOS (https://github.com/the-darkvoid/dfu-util-osx), I tried to use it and tried to download the file .dfu, but when you try to download the firmware, I got a message that the file is invalid. Bluetooth has not started to work.

I also learned that these .dfu files are in /System/Library/Extensions/IOBluetoothFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOBluetoothUSBDFU.kext/Contents/Resources

You can compile the original dfu-util on macOS using Homebrew.

Anyway if you use a hex editor to look at those .dfu files in /S/L/E/... you will notice they all start with a ':' character.

Thank you for answering my questions. I appreciate that.
I think the conversation about .dfu files do not correspond to this thread, so I made a separate thread, in which I will publish my ideas and the results of experiments.

PS
I have an offtopic question to you as to the staff of the forum. Why I can't upload kexts or comment on anything in the "Downloads" section?

I'm probably gonna ask a stupid question, but... will these kexts work fine on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 or are they only for macOS Catalina?

Works in Mojave too

Hey. These files worked perfectly for me with one exception: I actually needed to go into Windows and update their firmware before the firmware updater would work. Anyway, great work!

This worked great with a BCM94352Z 04X6020

Even though my device id and vendor are in the kext my bluetooth still doesn't work with this kext. ven 0x13d3 prod 0x3404

I am trying to use BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareData.kext in EFI (have also tried BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext) with no luck.

Bluetooth works fine with BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext

Honestly, I’m not sure anymore. I might be - if I do they are leftover from previous installs. My problem is /s/l/e is locked and I can’t clean up with backing up and wiping. I’ll do it sometime for sure. Probably when official release is out but I’m a little busy these days. According to System Report my firmware version is v14 c5575. Really sorry I can’t be more help. Let me know if you need more info.

Just did a complete and thorough clean and updated to Public beta 7. After much experimenting installed BrcmFirmwareData, BcrmPatchRAM2, BrcmPatchNonRAM2 kexts in //EFI/EFI/Clover/kexts/Other. I made the mistake of trying to install BrdmFirmwareRepo before, which was never going to work there. @headkaze Used your tool to clean up. It saved me a lot of time - Thank you.

You need all three kexts; BrcmFirmwareData.kext, BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext. The first first one stores the firmware, the second one uploads it and the last one injects the native BT driver.

Seems to work perfect with my 14.6 install on Dell 1560. I am getting 1 error though:

BRCMPatchResidency does not seem to be available

From memory on -v so maybe a little different. What does it mean?

I am using these on Catalina and they work great, what a nice piece of work from @headkaze again!

I gather I can't use this for Mojave correct? What is the latest and best version for Mojave? 2.10?

Thanks for all the great work!

Mieze · October 6, 2019

Unfortunately headkaze's driver doesn't work on my Dell Inspiron 13 5370 with the Dell DW1560. I investigated the issue and finally decided to offload support for Catalina to a completely new driver BrcmPatchRAM3.kext, which is based on headkaze's work but goes one step ahead as I dumped a lot of obsolete code and restructured it's architecture from scratch.

Source code can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/Mieze/OS-X-BrcmPatchRAM-Catalina

It's build for Mojave and Catalina but as I still haven't got any machine running Catalina, I ran my tests under 10.14.6. Anyone who's interested in testing is encouraged to try the attached binaries which are built for Mojave and Catalina.

Kernel boot parameter "bpr_probedelay" is obsolete now and for the DW1560 "bpr_preresetdelay" too, because I found out that the Bluetooth controller indicates when it has finished processing downloaded firmware patches by sending a "vendor specific event" (event code 0xff) to the host. It looks like more devices also support this mechanism because those I tested, work this way and I won't be surprised if it's a common feature of all Broadcom Bluetooth controllers but this assumption is still waiting to be verified.

Good luck!

Thanks man working on Catalina with OpenCore! Question, is there a proper way to inject this with OpenCore? I don't know if the injector kext should be first, followed by the Data and BrcmPatchRAM3.kext or should it be Data, RAM3 and then Injector? Just a thought as OpenCore, you need to define the order of the kexts.

Edited October 7, 2019 by Andrw0380

Mieze · October 7, 2019

As BrcmPatchRAM3.kext depends on BrcmFirmwareData.kext, it is clear which one is first but with regard to the injector kext, I'm not sure but from my point of view it makes sense to put it in the third position.

Mieze

onemanOSX · October 7, 2019

In OC I have the kexts in this order : BrcmBluetoothInjector>BrcmFirmwareData>BrcmPatchRAM3/2
