Hi Guys, (meant to put this in Post Installation)
Been away from this for a couple years. Recently got all acquainted again with The Guide, I'm successfully running Ventura. You know your in the thick of things when you've rebooted your computer a hundred times in a week. A lot of reading, blood, sweat and a lot of tears, but I'm back.
However, the issue is bluetooth. I have a Fenvi T919. I've never been able to get bluetooth working on it, to be honest, not even in Windows (maybe bad card? Wifi works in Windows and Mac). Sooo many late night readings, and trying this and that. Supposedly no kexts needed for the Fenvi, but I've tried a lot of things, ending up with the BlueToolFixup, BcrmPatchRAM3 (and tried 2), and BcrmFirmwareData. Always this when I run hardware report.
I see this a lot across a lot of different forums. So thought I was getting somewhere. Today, I removed my Fenvi T919 card completely. Rebooted and I've run Nvram reset a few times now.
The funny thing is when I run the hardware report, the above picture persists. How can that be? There isn't even a bluetoothcard in my PC at the moment. I'm using the MacPro7,1 as my model. Is it because of that? And is that even the correct model? (it works so I stuck with it).
The best I've been able to get so far is with the Fenvi T919 anda bluetooth dongle (ZEXMTE). But even it says it's not discoverable (this while using the kext combinations above from bcrm). It kinda works, but can't do airdrop, everything says no buddy available, even though both Airside are set for "everyone". I have mapped my USB ports via the Dortania guide. The USB2.0 header (usb 2.0 hub actually) is set to be "internal". I changed to a IOGEAR bluetooth dongle (the one with green end) -
IO GEAR DONGLE at Amazon
and now I have Airplay working too.
I thought the picture above was interesting, as maybe it is what it defaults to if no bluetooth device in your PC at all. Or maybe some other reason that escapes me.
This is more of vent of my frustrations, as I like everything to work, and I've spent many a nights trying to get this to work. Way more time than I should have. Lol.
I've attached my EFI in case it's helpful for anyone with the same MB/hardware combo, or if anyone wants to take a stab at suggesting ideas with my T919 or "shutoff" issues (see below).
Still having major problems with shutdown and sleep. In fact when I do a (apple logo)>Shutdown, reset and power buttons on front panel don't even work, I quite literally have to pull the power plug. Once it even blew up my EFI and I had reinstall because I didn't know how to fix it. I restart back to OpenCore bootloader and shutdown from there. It's a hack, but isn't all of this? Hey we get to have a Mac right??
Thanks!
