Description
USB Port Mapping is done

Adapter shows under System Info -> USB

Bluetooth Controller is NULL under System Info -> Bluetooth

Kexts are loading

Bluetooth switch can be switched on and off in Settings and in Control Center

No devices are found

I have the same problem. I tried 14.3.1. 14.4beta and 14.4. Always the sam fault with BT.
The IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext driver is loaded with ibt-0041-0041.sfi.
I see BT under USB Hardware, but the Controller under Bluetooth show is with [Null]-

Kextstat shows that all relevant drivers are loaded:

Under Monterey the card works 100% Wifi and BT. On Sonoma only Wifi works.
My ID is slightly different > 8087:0032.

@brrandrade @derpuma From your logs, we can see the IntelBluetoothFirmware firmware driver is working fine, so your issue is about Hackintosh, that's out of our control, please see other way for help. Thanks.

[zxystd]

You can upload a log file of bluetoothd, maybe I can help you locate what's the problem.

log show --last 5m | grep bluetoothd > ~/desktop/a.txt

[derpuma]

Of course! It would be be great if you could help. I am not on a hackintosh. My macOS runs in a KVM, but should act like a hacky!

As long as the BT shows up as a USB Device, it should also be loaded as a Bluetooth device.
Not sure were the quirk is here...

Here is the logfile:
a.txt

[brrandrade]

I am also running in KVM, it was ok even on Ventura, I have collected the log and toggled off and on the bluetooth to populate more info.

Hey @brrandrade. My bluetooth works now...

Please feel free to add this kext into your EFI/OC/Kext and add it to your config.plist:

Bluetooth File Exchange.kext.zip

And please post results.
If you send me the details of your hardware, I may can help you further. Are you on AMD or Intel?
Which CPU, GPU and Mainboard do you use?

See the results on my side now!

[brrandrade]

Hi @derpuma, that is great that you got it working, I jus tried your kext, but didn't work for me.
My specs:
INTEL i9-12900K
GPU AMD Radeon RX 580 8 GB
Motherboard: Aorus Z690 PRO DDR5

Your kext is not loading here:

Thanks for the help.

[derpuma]

Here you have my EFI Folder, with all the things I tried to get it to work.
To be honest, there are so many inputs I got. I am not 100% sure, what brought Bluettooth to life in the end.
Maybe you can look and find something that helps you too...

@brrandrade Bruno, essa EFI do Derpuma seria para Ryzen, pois eu a modifiquei e refiz alguns parâmetros na plist e as minhas Kexts da intel. A plist dele estava faltando algumas modificações. As Kexts que ele se refere são de um amigo que é programador. Mas o problema mesmo está nas Kexts da intel. Eu uso uma versão compilada.

You can't use @derpuma EFI, is for Ryzen AMD, you use intel, so im modified some parameters, and use my Intel kexts. Look especially in SecureBootModel, was X86platform but in fact, Intel or Ryzen (or other processors) is better use Disabled on plist

If you can try use those kexts to help your Bluetooth connexion, check GitHub developer page

https://github.com/hnanoto/AirPort-Utility and here https://github.com/hnanoto/Bluetooth-File-Exchange

My kexts that im using on Bluetooth works is on EFI or here

Im using a different kext to works OTA update without issue

Kudos @maxpicelli
Great that you give support here too, like you helped me!

[brrandrade]

Hi @derpuma, thank you for your EFI, it worked and I can't believe lol, I was hopeless with that.

It worked even without using usbport kext and with the XHCIPortLimit enabled.

@maxpicelli, I didn't use your kexts, do you think it will bring something for my intel, or leave as it is?
I got the channels in youtube and discord, thanks for that.

I just had one Problem, I can't boot with boot-args= -v, it gets stuck as showed in the picture below, without it, boot normally, do you have any idea what can I do to enable debug without get stuck?

[derpuma]

@brrandrade I guess, as we are running macOS in a KVM, it is possible, that you run your macOS also with my AMD kext from my EFI folder. The KVM emulates the hardware, the kext pretend to be... I bet it doesn't make any difference to have some kext or not.
As I do not know, what exactly made the difference for BT to be detected as the right Controller, I am not sure at all. I will investigate more over the weekend and try to specify which enabled it at the end. For now I am happy, thanks to @maxpicelli who gave me a helping hand at insanelymac forum.

[brrandrade]

I had disabled your AMDRyzen... maybe I could give a try on it to see if something occurs.

[maxpicelli]

Maybe you should try install in normally without KVM. After that, use same EFI to try boot on KVM. Need extract DMAR table, with SSDTTime or similar and so enable VT-d.

[brrandrade]

I did extracting it from linux and windows, but both in KVM got stuck at boot, I need to try with a mac installation, it might generate different files, but for now, no extra disk to try it. but the goal here was reached with the bluetooth working, thanks again :).
