Bluetooth is nonfunctional on macOS 14 - Intel AC 7265

[meghan06]

Have you read the docs?

Yes

macOS Version

macOS 14

Kext Version

v2.2.0

Wireless Adapter Model and USB Product ID

Intel 7265; 0x8087

Description

on macOS Sonoma, Bluetooth cannot be enabled. The option to enable it is there, but stays disabled.

How to reproduce:

• Install macOS 14
• Go to SysPref, then Bluetooth
• Try to enable BT

Expected Behavior: Bluetooth should be enabled.

Note: I am unsure whether the USB Product ID is correct. I will upload a IOReg dump if that makes things easier.

I do understand it has only been a day since the announcement of Sonoma, but I am throwing this one out here in case others have the same issue.

The problem same for me on intel AC 8260,

Intel bluetooth drivers can work pretty well on Any version, The needed fix is on bluetoolfixup.kext side.

BTW, here is my modified version. BlueToolFixup.kext.zip

hello for the kext wifi is that you only have to change the ID for sonoma or it has more repairs to make thank you

[meghan06]

@zxystd Thanks for the fix. Will test later. Do you have any plans on making a AirportItlwm fork for Sonoma any time soon?

[zxystd]

@qcTimb3rlandqc @meghan06 Apple delete the whole legacy 80211 stack on Sonoma, I am going to turn to the other IO80211Family which is using by macintosh of late 2018(although it will be also deleted in 2~3 years), it is a big work, almost all of the airport interfaces changed, need to start reversed over again.

[meghan06]

@zxystd Got it. Although in 2-3 years, Intel would probably be dropped from macOS altogether.

If development for Sonoma begins, feel free to let me know if you need testing. I'd be happy to do so.

perfect thx

[meghan06]

@zxystd Can confirm the culprit is BlueToolFixup. Bluetooth is now working fine with Sonoma, thanks!

Even with this bluetoolfixup.kext and nvram patches the Bluetooth on xps 9360 intel 8260 card is not working I can't see it in usb mapping and intelbluetoothfirmware.kext doesn't load up, during boot i see some bluetoothd failure errors, in system report there's no bluettoh under usb section and it's address NULL state off and bluetooth icon keeps loading.

Can please confirm which BT next works for sonoma beta 5? WiFi works for me but not BT.

[meghan06]

@balajipitchumani the latest commit, not release of BlueToolFixup will do. See dortania's build page for a download

Les pilotes Bluetooth Intel peuvent fonctionner assez bien sur n'importe quelle version, le correctif nécessaire est à bluetoolfixup.kextcôté.

BTW, voici ma version modifiée. BlueToolFixup.kext.zip thank you very much before I "had no stability with the kext especially in return from standby with the modification it works a wonder thanks again
