Moderators black.dragon74 Posted November 19, 2017 Moderators Share Posted November 19, 2017 None yet. You may try the workaround if it works for you. P.S: Dinesh is working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheousman Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I cobbled this together from some of rehab mans plist entries plus some of my own and a new binary compiled from xcode 9 it works for me in HighsSierra for DW1550 might work for a few other models Nice Cobbling! Working on my DW1702, AR5B195, with High Sierra, 10.13.2 Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maystro31 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hi everybody, This is the first time i use BluetoothFirmwareUploader, unfortunately it was on HighSierra which is currently not supported, anyway i noticed that when i installed the kext, rebooted to windows then restarted to HighSierra, the bluetooth worked flawlessly, if i put the system to sleep or i do a fresh boot it just stops. I'm open to your suggestions to find a solution, here is some info about my Bluetooth device (Atheros) collected using a windows software : bLength 0x12 bDescriptorType 0x01 bcdUSB 0x0110 - Spec# = 01.10 bDeviceClass 0xE0 - Wireless bDeviceSubClass 0x01 - Radio Frequency bDeviceProtocol 0x01 - Bluetooth bMaxPacketSize0 0x40 - 64 bytes idVendor 0x04CA - Lite-On Technology Corp. idProduct 0x3018 bcdDevice 0x0001 - Device# = 00.01 iManufacturer 0x00 iProduct 0x00 iSerialNumber 0x00 bNumConfigurations 0x01 Thanks in advance. PS: i've seen some posts talking about an IOath3kfrmwr.kext alternative, does it support HighSierra? How to use it ? I found a linux driver which includes my device Vendor/id, but i don't know if that help: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/bluetooth/ath3k.c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 6, 2018 Administrators Share Posted January 6, 2018 You could simply read the info relating to the page you linked. https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Atheros-3k-Firmware Then contact the author, he's sufficently known throughout the Hackintosh community...

maystro31 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 You mean RehabMan, i've spoken to him before but not regarding bluetooth as i've seen him telling people having similar hardware that their devices are just not supported and there is nothing to do, anyway i'll try to to tell him what i noticed later, may be he can suggest something useful. For the mean time, i'll be always open if anybody here has some ideas... PS: I've moded my previous post, is there a specific procedure to use "IOath3kfirmwr" ?

Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 6, 2018 Administrators Share Posted January 6, 2018 the reason it works after loading windows and rebooting is that the bluetooth module retains the firmware on restart. then it gets wiped on shutdowns. you might look further into that and maybe dump the firmware and add it to the kext I believe both Dinesh and rehab man kexts mention how to do this in their guides for the kexts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublestar1314 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Thanks a lot!!! I am from China and I like Hackintosh.I have seen many many posts,but at last I found what I needed here!!! My OS is 10.12 Sierra,it's a pity that the bluetooth devices can't work well. Hope your kext will take effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
