Mr. Teleporter Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Hello I installed big sure on Asus Z170 Deluxe using usb stick and kushwavez's clover configurations here: https://github.com/kushwavez/asus-z170-deluxe-clover-efi everything works fine except bluetooth. brcm patchram doesn't work. the git includes these kexts by defaut: Quote AirportBrcmFixup.kext BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext BrcmFirmwareData.kext BrcmPatchRAM3.kext which didn't work and I don't have bluetooth in system setting or system information. I tried to move them to Library/extension using kext droplet and had no luck. replaced BrcmFirmwareData.kext with BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and nothing happened, also tried to use BrcmNonPatchRAM2.kext instead of BrcmPatchRAM3.kext and BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext. I even tried using opencore from this git: https://github.com/jsassu20/Asus-Z170-Deluxe-macOS-BigSur-OpenCore and tried both methods with no success (everything else works). what am I missing?

Guest 5T33Z0 Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) @Mr. Teleporter I am also sure as well that it's an USB issue. Because this EFI doesn't contain a USB kext nor a USB port Map as ACPI Table. Instead, XHCI Portlimit quirk is used which does no longer work in macOS Big Sur 11.3 and newer. Since BT is basically "wireless USB" you need to fix the USB ports. And then I'm pretty sure it'll work with these kexts. For Monterey you will need bluetoolfixup.kext as well.

Mr. Teleporter Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 I can't believe it actually worked. I was running out of patience and hope thank you so much.

Slice Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 My bluetooth 20702A2 is not working in Monterey no matter of kexts using. Working fine in previous systems.

Mr. Teleporter Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 yeah mine too I just realized. weirdly enough if I don't use the fixup kext it shows the correct model and firmware status in Hackintool but can't be enabled however when I use the Monterey exclusive fixup kext it doesn't even show up anymore.
