I installed BrcmPatchRAM2 and Repo kexts in SLE. When booting up, the kernel says device could not be opened.

Please move the paragraph about SIP before the first terminal command. I was not able to modify the NVRAM boot-args until I'd disabled SIP.

Put it in a folder named PLEASE_READ_README or something

• OS X Version: 10.11.4
• Device product ID: 6412
• Device vendor ID: 0A5C
• BrcmPatchRAM2 version used: 2.2.3

Both BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareData.kext injected by Clover injection.

BrcmPatchRAM2 shows endless loop：

Apr  3 19:53:35 lightingdeMacBook-Pro kernel[0]: BrcmPatchRAM2: [0a5c:6412]: device request failed ("0xe00002ed (UNDEFINED)" 0xe00002ed).
Apr  3 19:53:35 lightingdeMacBook-Pro kernel[0]: BrcmPatchRAM2: [0a5c:6412]: Not responding - Delaying next read.

I cannot boot into the OS X. Sometimes the BrcmPatchRAM2.kext & BrcmFirmwareData.kext work to power up the bluetooth, but most of the time it fails.

Any other information have to be submitted?

it doesn't matter if I put it in clover or /l/e or /s/l/e, it always does this:

wifi keeps going off then on, you can see it doing in in the networks preferences. if I remove the patchram2 kext then all is well.

the wifi is a BCM43224
the BT is BCM20702A0

not sure why this kext would keep toggling the wifi on and off, happy to try any suggestions if you have any.

Hey, my card is BCM943602cs PCI-E, now WiFi is OK.
but bluetooth did not work fine.
I found that, if I start windows 10 ,and turn-on BT ,then restart to MAC,
the BT work! If power off the power, BT is gone.

Another, the BT work time, the idProducr is 0x8290, else is 0x21FF,
this is so puzz me!
can I use this kext to fix my BT ??

thanks!

I'm trying to build from source but I keep running into this issue that prevents me from building. I would appreciate any help...

hi
is there any chance to see this version supported?
thanks

Just thought I'd let you know that I can confirm that the following is working on 10.13.6 using BrcmPatchRAM2 and BrcmFirmwareRepo.

Product ID: 0x6410
Vendor ID: 0x0a5c

I couldn't get it to work until I installed BrcmPatchRAM2 to /System/Library/Extensions. Injecting with Clover did not work. I have BrcmFirmwareRepo installed to /Library/Extensions.

Problem is happening in BrcmPatchRAM::publishFirmwareStorePersonality()

In some cases, the system doesn't tear down the USB tree on wake from sleep and as a result BrcmPatchRAM is not re-probed. This means the firmware is never loaded and the native personality for Broadcom bluetooth is never registered.

Result: no bluetooth after sleep.

Will try uploading firmware on power state change...

Hi

Thanks you so much for the software.
I bought a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard (Bluetooth 4.0) and a external Trackpad but my Macbook Pro (early 2011 / HIgh Sierra - Bluetooth 2.0) couldn't connect to the keyboard, so I bought a Asus USB-400 and I can't seem to be able to use both devices at the same time. Is it impossible by design, or do you think there is something I can do, perhaps buying another USB dongle?

Thanks,
Jorge,

my device is bcm94360hmb and I used the BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext in /S/L/E. It works well on 10.11+ but can't work on 10.12.2.

[0b05:180a] Azurewave (4360/20702 combo)

here is the screen output

http://i1.piimg.com/4851/fd238d44ed725674.jpg

See the-darkvoid#41. I'm duplicating it here because it's a bit confusing how both projects are evolving in different repositories.

I have a [0x0a5c:0x21ec] version 1.12, model ORICO BTA-408. It's probably the same chipset as used here, which was verified to be working on El Capitan.

On 10.13 (17A365) I tried:

1. The Clover kext injection method with BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareData.kext.
2. The S/L/E method with BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext.

The first method made my system unstable. The second method resulted in the USB dongle LED lighting up (firmware loaded?!) but it then disabled all USB ports on the machine. The machine could only be used via remote SSH or Screen Sharing.

Here's a grep for Brcm-related logs from the second run:

......(These five lines loops forever)

On the other hand, booting into macOS is OK. This problem only occurs on RecoveryHD and macOS Installer.

Here's my brief configuration:(Detailed configurations are in the attachment)
ConfigurationAndClover.zip

i5 3210M
HD4000 ig-platform-id 0x01660003
Wifi: 14e4:43b1
Bluetooth: 04ca:200b (BCM20702a0)

Clover version 4259
BrcmNonPatchRAM2.kext
BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
BrcmFirmwareData.kext

I don't use it from Clover/kexts, but...

This is the situation:

• BrcmPatchRAM2 loads (along with BrcmFirmwareData) via injection at boot
• it loads firmware, all is fine... probe/exit
• because BrcmPatchRAM2 is not resident (unlike BrcmPatchRAM.kext), the kernel will eventually unload it
• now sleep happens, then wake
• firmware needs to be loaded.
• the IOKit personality is present in the io catalog, but the kext is gone from memory
• the kernel tries to load it, but guess what... it can't find it (it doesn't know to look on EFI partition!)

Result: failure of BT on wake

This results from the separation of BrcmFirmwareStore from BrcmPatchRAM2 objects. When they were one kext, BrcmFirmwareStore would keep BrcmPatchRAM2 loaded.

The fix would be to have a small object staying resident in BrcmPatchRAM2.kext (under IOResource). That way the kext will stay loaded and will be available upon wake from sleep.

Hello there!

I just moved to 13.6 from a stable 13.5 on a Asus Z370G WiFi AC and the bluetooth has stoped working. I have a DW1560 which uses a BCM94352Z through a ngff M.2 on the board and so far since 10.13.3 I had no issues. At first I thought it might be the new USB port patch, which I added the new one, with no luck.

I have gone back to 13.5 on another identical build and bluetooth is back on. How could we solve this issue?

I attach two ioreg, one with 13.5 and another with 13.6
Archive 2.zip

I'm having some issues with this patch and bluetooth not initializing correctly/quickly after sleep. At first, I thought it wouldn't load at all but it appears it does, but after a very long time. Here's a look at my log from the last time I booted this machine:

As you can see, the last load (i.e. wake from sleep) took over 3 minutes to complete. Is this normal behavior?

EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm using the latest version of the kexts running on 10.11.6. It's a Lenovo T440s machine.

EDIT 2: Here's another instance when it failed completely after wake from sleep:

does it compatible?

Hello RehabMan please add support Bluetooth: BCM20703A1 0a5c:6410
Although the resources present BCM20703A1 firmware / BrcmPatchRAM does not load it.
I put io registry

Hi,

I trie to load a new firmware with the kext. I already extracted hex and stuff.
As far as I understand, if have to create a new entry in the Info.plist of the BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
The entry should look like this?

<key>0489_e032</key>
<dict>
	<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
	<string>com.no-one.BrcmPatchRAM2</string>
	<key>DisplayName</key>
	<string>Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 USB</string>
	<key>FirmwareKey</key>
	<string>BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1443.1485_v5581</string>
	<key>IOClass</key>
	<string>BrcmPatchRAM2</string>
	<key>IOMatchCategory</key>
	<string>BrcmPatchRAM2</string>
	<key>IOProviderClass</key>
	<string>IOUSBHostDevice</string>
	<key>idProduct</key>
	<integer>57394</integer>
	<key>idVendor</key>
	<integer>1161</integer>
</dict>

I have to replace DisplayName, FirmwareKey (should correspond with the hex file), idProduct, idVendor and the primary key (I got from my device). Honestly I have no idea what idProduct and idVendor are because it's not the PCIIDs?

After that the the zhx file should be placed under Ressources of the BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext?

Is that correct?

best regards,
spigandromeda

A fix to make the BrcmFirmwareStore object not load has broken the publish/unpublish for non patchRAM devices.

This makes bluetooth init after sleep slow, and causes interference with other USB devices for about 10 seconds after sleep.

Hi
I have the BCM4352 WIFI AC + BT 4.0 card installed in an Acer V5 laptop. On Windows the BT is working, but on Mac (El Capitan and Yosemite), the Bluetooth can't connect or find my devices. Sometimes my Android phone is found and connected, and one moment I could transfer a file, but my Microsoft Sculpt Comfort BT mouse can't connect (sometimes it's found). My Bluetooth earbuds and speaker are not even found. Wifi 5GHz is working perfect.

Getting these when following the Mac OS X native (Mac Pro Mid 2010) instructions of just installing BrcmPatchRAM2.kext to /S/L/E/:

Hi RehabMan,

first I would like to thank you for BrcmPatchRAM. Bluetooth on my Asus G750JM seems to work but I detected some a message in /var/log/system. The firmware is updated (no "4096").

In 10.11, the IOProviderClass for Broadcom Bluetooth has changed from IOUSBDevice to IOUSBHostDevice, which causes the current bluetooth injector/brcmpatchram unsable. I changed the class in bluetooth injector kext and bluetooth works again. I tried changing in BrcmPatchRam but it is not accepted:
Jun 14 09:56:33 localhost kernel[0]: BrcmPatchRAM: Provider is not a USB device.

I'm using a T430 through the el capitan guide off tonymacx86 and the Intel 6205's Broadcom Bluetooth works with your kext just fine. I don't have a hacked BIOS since I don't have the necessary tools for it but I'm using USB WiFi as a good solution for now. I can't seem to get Instant HotSpot or Handoff working at all.

I ordered BCM943602BAED and replace my BCM94352Z on Dell e7450.
I decided to replace it due to fact BCM94352Z was not properly working with Handoff (t was working from mac to iPhone, but not opposite way, also I had some problems with Universal Clipboard and auto unlocking function from Apple Watch).

DW1830@BCM943602BAED
IDs:
wireless = 14e4:43ba
bluetooth = 0a5c:6410

kexts installed:

BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext
BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
FakePCIID.kext

All kext to patches in Cover config were removed. They were previously added for BCM94352Z.

To let you know, currently I do not see any reason tor replace BCM94352Z with BCM943602BAED. Yes, it require less patching, only BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and BrcmPatchRAM2.kext for Bluetooth Wifi works OOB, but you will get same problems with functionality.

Airdrop - works both ways
Continuity - partially working
Universal Clipboard - not working
Apple Watch auto-unlock not working
Hotspot - working
find My iPhone works until restart, then it is disabled again?!? why?

e7450 updated to latest 10.12.3 from 10.12.1

I was able to connect and use a bluetooth keyboard for nearly 2 hours the first time I installed those drivers along with USBInjectAll.kext, then after a reboot, the bluetooth can still search devices around, but my keyboard keeps connect and then disconnect, I tested this keyboard on my MacBook Air, it has no problem by itself.

I also tried bluetooth headphone, keeps connecting and disconnecting. But Airdrop works perfect with my iPhone and MacBook, wifi also native no kexts needed.

what is the possible issue? what more information can I provide?

Hi RehabMan ,I use BrcmFirmwareData.kext BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and USBInjectAll.kext in my clover\kexts\others ,BTW my laptop is DELL XPS 15 9550 UHD installed osx 10.11.6 , and I found the bluetooth is unusual,sometimes it works ,but when I reboot the laptop,it dosen't work.

Hi,

my bluetooth is running normally but when I turn off it , then I could not turn on again. . the bluetooth icon always show "on" but there is no bluetooth. need to restart to turn on

also handoff, airdrop working but some application using bluetooth to pair ipphone like Macid, Nearlock did not recognize my iphone/ipad.

please help me to check that

Please add to the list of devices that work in osx.
Works great in Mojave 10.14 (18A391) using BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext

Hi Rehabman,

Just thought I'd let you know that there's newer drivers available (version 12.0.1.750) on Dell's site: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=YW21W&fileId=3596400500&osCode=WT64A&productCode=xps-15-9550-laptop&languageCode=en&categoryId=NI

Hello, I wanted to explain how I got a USB dongle with BCM20702 working under Mojave.
I tried putting the kext files in /L/E, didn't work so after reading a different issue (from today actually), I tried /S/L/E. While that didn't work at first, I then tried to refresh the kext cache; the files didn't show up in kextstat.
I used this command: sudo kextcache -invalidate / which told me 2 error messages: BrcmFirmwareStore and BrcmPatchRAM2 had the wrong permissions. This is fixed like so:

sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions/BrcmPatchRAM2.kext/
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/BrcmPatchRAM2.kext/
sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions/BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext/
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext/

Reboot and be happy! 😄
Both the actual Bluetooth entry in System Preferences, that was missing before as well as an entry in System Report > Bluetooth finally appeared!
I have a TP-Link Archer T9E WiFi card and now in conjunction, AirDrop does work like a charm 👍

Versión System on wich has been tested: 10.12.4
The bluetooth work ok before install the BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and BrcmNonPatchRAM2.kext in S/L/E.
Thanks to RehabMan and feartech.

Hey RehabMan,

You are doing the hackintosh community a huge service. Keep up the great work!

I have this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/k6wJXH along with an NGFF BCM94352Z DW1560 card.

I have installed the following in /System/Library/Extensions:
BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext

And this in /Library/Extensions:
FakePCIID.kext
FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext

It works perfectly when booted in macOS 10.12.6 but the keyboard does not work in the Clover menu. Am I missing something?

I'm curious, I have been wondering if this driver would be more resilient to system updates if we were to place it into /Library/Extensions vs the current recommendation of /System/Library/Extensions, especially on native Mac installs.

What's the situation on this, is this not a possibility?

There is a later version of the Broadcom Bluetooth drivers on the Dell support page. Navigate to the support page then go to support by product and select the Dell XPS 13 9343 (Laptop), then go to the drivers section. It will default to "Windows 8.1, 64-bit". Change it to "Windows 10, 64-bit", then go to the network section and you will find it labeled as "Dell Wireless 1560 Bluetooth Driver" which is version 12.0.1.653. Although it is labeled for the DW1560, I believe it has firmwares for all Broadcom devices.

I notice a variable delay on wake from sleep with BrcmPatchRAM installed. The amount of delay is variable from no delay to sometimes several minutes. Usually the delay is 5-15 seconds. In the event that the delay is long, bluetooth functionality does not resume.

After much investigation and trial, this appears to be caused by actions taken by the Yosemite bluetooth driver on wake from sleep. Even though the driver is about to be terminated (due to USB reshuffle), it does some things that interfere with correct startup upon wake.

The solution (after trying many other things), is to terminate the bluetooth drivers prior to sleep. This requires BrcmPatchRAM track power states and unload the native bluetooth driver before entering sleep.

That is the main purpose of this fork. Along with a few bug fixes (memory leaks, debug build, build problems with 10.6 SDK, etc), and some refactoring.

Even though people shouldn't install other personalities (eg. injectors) for their device, they still do and it is a pain to diagnose (some are stuffing it into their FakeSMC Info.plist).

This log demonstrates one instance, which is probably easily handled:

The case of an existing personality with the correct class and bundle is probably more difficult.

Hi pike. I use clover and I have one Atheros Vendor 168C, DEV 002B, SUBVENDOR 106B, SUBDEV 008F and i installed the 2 kexts:

BrcmPatchRAM2 and BrcmFirmwareData in clover EFI kexts but i cant sucess with the bluetooth.

And funny that already installed it in the version of 10.11.3 but not tested:
