Mr. Teleporter Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Hi I updated my z170-deluxe build from Big Sur 11.6.1 to Monterey 12.2, after restarting it stuck at apple logo with an empty bar(verbos screenshot is attached). it does however let the os load randomly once every two or three attempts (and it's Monterey, apparently) but one of my hard disks can't be identified and bluetooth doesn't work. I'm using clover 5142 which I also attached to this post and installed Monterey using an old version I had downloaded long ago but never got the chance to install. I may have to go for a clean install but I need to know for sure what's wrong first. Thanks in advance.

aben Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) At first glance, looks like AirportBrcmFixup is most likely the culprit. What model of Broadcom wifi module is being used here? You mentioned OS boots intermittently...is this behavior persistent when AirportBrcmFixup kext is omitted from kexts folder?

Slice Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I am not sure about your issue. I have similar hardware and I have similar stop in Monterey with kext BlueToolFixup. Try to exclude it and other kexts one by one to find a wrong kext. Clover GUI permit you to temporary disable any kext from folders Other and enable kext from folder Off. Press "Space" and see something like this 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/351291-monterey-updated-with-problems/#findComment-2779138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Teleporter Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 I moved all the kexts except Lilu, virtualsmc, whatevergreen, AppleALC and two usb map kexts to library/extendions, and now everything's fine except bluetooth, but this time I know exactly what the problem is. Monterey has detected the wrong chipset (it has detected the right one as well but it doesn't work): Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/351291-monterey-updated-with-problems/#findComment-2779142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aben Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) @Mr. Teleporter Remove BrcmBluetoothInjector.kext if present as this kext is not to be used with BlueToolFixup on macOS Monterey as per instructions here.

Mr. Teleporter Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 didn't fix it. I think there was a way to block/hide a device in clover config but I don't remember how if I could do that I might be able to make the actual chipset take the wrong one's place and make it work.

Slice Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 No way to make the bluetooth working in Monterey. Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/351291-monterey-updated-with-problems/#findComment-2779146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
makk Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Have to buy an Apple BCM94630HMB to make it work. Fenvi or BCM94630CD and an adapter to fit in PC slot Bluetooth must be Apple hardware in Monterey Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/351291-monterey-updated-with-problems/#findComment-2779152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aben Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) @Mr. Teleporter Quite strange coz as per your screenshot, the device ID shown [0b05:180a] appears to be supported by BrcmPatchRAM and its plugins however no firmware is being uploaded to the device for some weird reason. You could try warm booting from Windows into macOS after successful upload of BT firmware on Windows, maybe try connecting a device or two if available, this approach sometimes works as a one-way ticket but also depends on your system's firmware implementation. Note: Even if you do happen to get bluetooth working on Monterey with this non-native card, be advised the overall functionality will be quite limited compared to Big Sur due to massive changes in Monterey's BT stack which is why BlueToolFixup was developed in the first place to help alleviate issues around 3rd party card's compatibility with macOS 12 however the current state of support is still partially broken due to complexity of the new stack. You will still require, either a Fenvi BCM94360NG or one of Apple's original Airport cards listed here if you wish to have the full native OOB experience on macOS 12 however getting these cards adapted to a non-M.2 PCIe slot can be quite dicey, sometimes even impossible depending on the situation.
