SOLVED - Bluetooth not working H170N-WIFI Broadcom BCM94352Z El Cap

Status
Not open for further replies.
After crashing the system I went back to step 1 hoping I had learned something along the way.
The reinstall went perfect and after:
- loading BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext and BrcmPatchRAM2.kext that fixed the bluetooth, its works perfectly now.
-Changed my Mutibeast selections to IntelMausiEthernet v2 that fixed ethernet
- Realtek series 100 with inject=2 in Clover devices and that fix sound.
- Loaded FakePCIID.kext and FakePCIID_Broadcom_Wifi.kext and that fixed no WiFi problem.

Some remaining items for a new post. Performance is rather slow for a I7, and testing to see if I really have USB3.
Thanks for help along the way.
 
I have:

GA-Z170n-Gaming 5
i7 6700K
EVGA GTX 950
BCM94352z NGFF M.2

Fresh install 10.11.6 using ammulder's guide http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-el-capitan-on-the-skylake-h170n-wifi.178197/

I installed in s/l/e using kext beast:
BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext
BrcmPatchRAM2.kext
FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext
FakePCIID.kext

Wifi works great. No bluetooth is detected. When I go to Bluetooth in System Report, "No Information Found."

I don't see the broadcom device under USB in System Report. I looked at the guide on fixing USB by RehabMan and got totally confused - but the USB not showing the broadcom device is likely the cause.

See also Skylake Starter Guide for more information on creating a custom SSDT for USBInjectAll.kext.
 
Using the Skylake Starter Guide step 7. USB Fix, I can only see 17 USB ports in the IORegistryEntry when I change the port limit from 15 to 30.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/10-11-0-10-11-3-skylake-starter-guide.179221/

The guide says:

"If you see fewer than 26 entries (HS01-HS14, SS01-SS10, USR1-USR2), then something is wrong and you need to review the steps above until you can boot and see 26 entries under XHC in IORegistryExplorer."

All steps or just all parts of step 7? Why would a only see 17 vs 26? What's unique about 26?

I only see HS01-HS10, SS01-SS07. There are no USR's.

I would need to see ioreg. You did not attach it.
 
I've set the USB limit to 30 and I put into the config.plist the entries to turn off the USB injection:

I can still only see 17 USB entries in IORegistry

(or version 2.1, ba da bum)

Injected ports are limited by a custom SSDT for USBInjectAll.kext.

From your Clover bootlog:
Code:
3:691  0:002  Inserting SSDT-USB-H170N-WIFI.aml from EFI\CLOVER\ACPI\patched ... Success
