Continuity and Mojave #438
Comments
I think not because 10.13.3 is the last version that worked |
Why do you say 10.13.3 is the last version that worked? I'm on 10.13.5 on a Mac Pro 5,1 and Continuity works just fine. |
@PeterHolbrook : Yep! Me too, MacBook Pro Early 2011 w/updated CAX BTLE card...works great! Have not tried Mojave yet, and don’t plan to until at least official release. (Plus I’m annoyed anyway that Apple is dumping support for most all of my Macs except for my Mac Mini 2012. Using the open source patch tool, I’m running High Sierra on a MacBook Pro 2009 Unibody and it works perfectly without issue. So dropping support for older machines is complete BS in MANY cases. Same will go for Mojave...there is no technical reason it cannot run on an iMac 2010 w/Quad-core i7 and 32MB of RAM. Apple continues to piss off their original enthusiasts and evangelists... It is a shame what has happened to them. |
Aye, me too with the exact same hardware and macOS configuration as DOCSISMAN (early 2011 17” unibody MBP + updated 4CAX card running High Sierra 11.13.5), and Continuity / Handoff / etc works like a boss!

I got with 10.13.5 a bootloop when I try to install it |
You should investigate why it doesn't work for you. It's normally flawless. |
I have a MacBook Pro 2011 which is NOT supported by mojave. I have an upgraded internal wifi card.
Everything else seems to work. Can continue from safari, messages work, shared clipboards also works. |
@gt2416 - Awesome! 👏🏽👏🏽

Using dosdude1 tool I was able to install Mojave and install the continuity tool.
Whats broken:
Can no longer initiate hotspot from phone. It fails to activate every time.
Insert from iPad/iPhone or continuity camera does not work. Error says "Take Photos" service cannot be used. Although it looks to try and can see my device.
Facetime app fails to initiate calls from iPhone unless its a facetime call. Error says make sure iphone is using same iCloud account.
Everything else seems to work. Can continue from safari, messages work.
It would be great to get a proper update for Mojave as its literally the only significant upgrade to macOS in years.

Just some updates
Any body else want to try it with Mojave ? The public beta is actually pretty stable. I've switched to it completely on my mac. |
@gt2416 what is this “Camera Continuity” feature that’s completely missed me by?

Continuity camera suddenly started working. (Did not reboot or anything) Tested with an iPad.
Not being able to call phone numbers MAYBE because my iPhone is not running ios 12 and I will not update it till the official release.

If I'm not mistaken, a Mac using "Camera Continuity" is capable of "seeing" and capturing what its paired iPhone "sees". |
@gt2416: It's a long time since I last checked this out, but I think that, back when I updated to Sierra 10.12, my hotspot wouldn't work even after running CAT. I had to manually edit one or two SIP-protected files for it to work. I think, somewhere in this forum, I mentioned the steps I undertook. I am almost certain that if you follow my old instructions, you'll succeed. |
Could you point be to that info if you have it please ? I've searched for a while but can't find it. |
No, sorry. I would have to look for it myself. I guess it will be among CAT issues relative to Sierra or High Sierra. EDIT: I found it! Have a look at what I said in #397 and the links provided therein. Good luck. |
Thank you SO much for the link ! |
I have a MacBook Pro 5,5 running mojave through dosdude1 patch tool. I wonder if cat will work, I got a asus bluetooth 4.0 dongle. Thanks! |
I have macbook air 4.2. Only Airdrop works for me on Mojave (On the last build of High Sierra all works well). Is there anybody who have old Handoff working? |
I have a MacMini5,1 from 2011 which is NOT supported by mojave and using dosdude1 tool everything works perfect (except gray transparency glitch). I solved it with: "System Preferences" -> “Accessibility” -> “Display" -> select “Reduce transparency”. As @gt2416 told before, there are a few continuity features don't work but all other things works perfect such as Airdrop or app switch. |
Hi :) |
Yes, if you patch bluetooth again using dosdude1 patch app, your dosdude1-CAT patched bluetooth file will be broken and you should reinstall mojave. |
Thanks! BTW, do you know if one can disable the Dosdude1 patcher updates? |
Wow! that's sounds bad. |
Same error for me.
iMac 11.3, Mojave, Apple Broadcom BCM94360CD, GTX 765M |
Working well on Mojave 10.14 (MacBook Pro A1278 Late 2011) |
Got a MacBook Pro Early 2011 (MacBookPro8,1) running patched Mojave 10.14.1. |
Step 1: Log out of iCloud |
This method work like a charm on iMac mid 2010 Mojave and replaced AirPort card to Apple Broadcom BCM94360CD. In terminal get Your board number: My board number: Mac-F2238BAE - set flag to "true" in: then do this 2 command in Terminal:
Restart and all working OK. Thanks for the tip. |
@gt2416 @grzegorz914 Okay guys, I’ve just changed my WLAN card on my MacBookPro8,1 for the BCM94331PCIEBT4CAX I just received. I booted and WiFi and Bluetooth were working out of the box. System Informations (maybe it has another name in English?) says “Low-Energy Bluetooh: Yes” so everything seems to be in order. |
Glad I found this! I've been doing my best to modify my 13" MacBook Pro 8,1 (Early 2011) to continue lasting as long as I can. Thanks! |
@Zayg94 It’s weird it doesn’t work with mine. I’ll try later with your plist editor. I only used a text editor, but it should still work. |
@GilDev I initially tried with TextEdit but it didn't allow me to save any changes. BBEdit is the only one that let me. Update: |
Well the file has definitely been updated, but still no AirDrop nor everything. |
Yes it is the correct board number.
And the patch stays activated… |
@GilDev Not sure how to fix your current problem except to start from scratch again and maybe try a pram reset ? You should do that after swapping hardware. |
MacBook 4,1 with 10.14.1. Big thanks @gt2416 and @grzegorz914 method works for me. wow!. Not need to log out iCloud. however, it did not work after first reboot. turn off the "Handoff" and turn back on did the work. Thanks. Updated: Even works great on one of my hackintosh. |
Just want to let you know my MBA4,1 works on 10.14.1 and 10.14.2 When I upgrade to 10.14.2, the system messed up a bit and it doesnt work and even see the no wifi hardware issues; but I uninstall CAT inside the CAT terminal, reboot, reapply, and it works again. It works even the SystemParameters.plist entry is still false. Previously I have to modify it. Hope this helps |
THIS.. THIS worked on my 2012 cMP 5,1. I just used the machine ID from the ioreg command.. Mac-F221BEC8 and swapped accordingly. The ONE other thing I had to do was turn Handoff off and back on in system preferences. Thanks! |
my board no shown: Mac-F22587C8 |
U need Use Your Board ID |
My mac is MBP5,3 2009 and no change to new airport board, will the method above still work? |
Registered to tell you this works really nice...!! dosguy1 patched (thanks!)
Cheap BT4 dongle. Steps:
Thank you all for making this work 💯 👍 👍 👍 |
There's an alternate way which worked for me: first install High Sierra, use the CAT tool, then upgrade to Mojave... Please see steps here: #450 (comment) |
Tried again this evening with @kertenkel and @gt2416 instructions on my MacBook Pro 8,1 early 2011, but now with the 10.14.2 update. Still got tons of errors from CAT but it worked! |
Macbook Pro Early 2011 8.1 Tips:
Still working with Mojave 10.14.3 on a MBP early 2011 8.1 https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-10-14-mojave-on-unsupported-macs-thread.2121473/ |
I've given up trying to get CAT to work with Mojave.. When there's an update it stops working and I have to start over again completely.. Even then there are problems if a reboot with it remaining stable. I think High Sierra will be the last version of macOS I run on my cMP 5,1 |
@codethought please don't give up just yet! Here's a link to the steps I took to get it working on my 2012 Mac Pro: #450 (comment) Good luck! 🍀 |
@tedteng85 @ALL AirDrop: HandOff and others: Plist can be edited by TextEdit -> copy original file on Desktop (or somewhere else), edit normally and copy to original location edited plist - authorize admin and all is OK. RESTART Complete working https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204681 |
Installed Mojave 10.14.3 onto MacBook Pro Late2011 (8,3) and hit a number of errors using the continuity tool, including inability to backup the kexts, and I lost use of my wifi card after running it (no hardware found). Continuity was working fine under 10.14.2. Since I hadn't saved the kexts off manually first I ended up reinstalling and patching 10.14.3. But afterward I thought best to look to see what kexts are being modified and to save those off manually. In looking through the code in contitool.sh I found two things that need to be worked through to clear the Mojave errors. One is that the lack of access to the directory location for the backup/archive folders for the pre-modification/post-modification kexts. An easy fix was to go edit the code and put in an unrestricted non-system pathway (such as ~/Downloads) into the variables for backupFolderBeforePatch and backupFolderAfterPatch. The difficult one is that Mojave no longer has a kext named AirPortBrcm4360.kext. The only AirPort kext is now named AirPortBrcmNIC-MFG.kext. So the coding will not work. This is the end of what I can do as a programmer as I don't know what should be patched in that file. |
I install Macair 4.1 OS 10.14.5 it's working. |
Anyone know what wifi/bt card i need in order to get handoff working on a late macbook from 2009 (6,1) i managed to get airdrop to work with an external bt dongle that uses bt 4.0 but handoff is still an elusive feature. |
Just a reminder to move the zip out of the downloads folder before extracting. Otherwise it might wind up sandboxed and cause all sorts of problems. |
In the final version of Catalina 10.15 this method is not working. After replace board id in IO80211.family wifi is disable and i cannot turn it on. |
Hi all. I have a mac mini mid 2011, and I've installed dosdude's Catalina. In bluetooth settings, I've seen that it is support low energy mode but not handoff. So I couldn"t use sidecar with my iPad air 3. Any idea? |
In dosdude1’s Catalina thread on Macrumours this problem already solved. All working including Handoff. Go get it there |
Has anyone verified if machines theoretically non-Continuity compliant (unless they have the proper Bluetooth/Wi-Fi card) will continue to work in macOS 10.14 Mojave? Will the new Handoff/Continuity features work?
