Fix LE devices not working on Ventura

[qhuyduong]

Look like starting from Ventura, the bluetooth daemon expects an LE PHY Update Complete event to be triggered from the controller before starting the connection to LE devices (e.g: Logitech MX Master 3S mouse). For Broadcom cards, that event is triggered automatically on new connection (attached the screenshot of PacketLogger on Macbook Air M1).

However for Intel ones, that event is not sent by the firmware, so pairing these devices will stuck.

One of the solution is to fake the LE PHY Update Complete event by issuing an extra LE command and modify its response.

Tested on macOS Ventura 13.4 with Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 and Logitech MX Master 3S.

Fixes #51 #418 #419 #421 #444

P/S: I'm quite new for Lilu and macOS SDK, so I belive there should be a cleaner way to do this, such faking the event without the need to sending another command. Recommendations are welcome.

I finally get my NIZ keyboard BLE working! Thank you so much!

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Code for patching asyncIORequest and initPipeRequest were deleted recently since they caused panic when waking up from sleep for some systems. This PR seemed to add them back, is it possible to achieve the same goal without patching those two functions?

[mackonsti]

Hi @williambj1 until we wait for the feedback from @qhuyduong can we not restrict this commit to Ventura? So far, myself included, there haven't been reports of kernel panics. Perhaps the re-write of the BT stack in macOS allow this hack to be implemented safely? What do you think?

[mackonsti]

Hi @williambj1 it doesn't seem that @qhuyduong saw your previous message, is it still safe to use such code patching in the kext? I am on Ventura and thankfully I have had no kernel panics (but with low BTLE use, admittedly). Thanks!

[Lorys89]

I use it on ventura and sonoma and I have not found kp, and I always have keyboard and mouse Logitech connected in bt

[mackonsti]

Hi @williambj1 it seems I had an OS crash or kernel panic out of nowhere, without changing/adding anything all this time -- when the Intel NUC that I use woke from sleep (or something). There are 2 panic files that I detected in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ but these seem to be in JSON format and not visible anywhere in Console.app. Do you have the means to read them and see if our Intel BT kext here, is causing this? I am using the fork by @qhuyduong:

Kernel-2023-07-04-014613.panic.txt

contents.panic.txt

(please remove the txt extension)

Unfortunately, I am not using this parameter in OpenCore in a permanent way 😞 So not sure if these panic files can offer much information.

<key>boot-args</key>
<string>keepsyms=1</string>

What tool or Terminal command do you use to check this type of files? I cannot find any reference anywhere. Thank you.

Please @Kaisar870 tell us exactly what you did, what you used, your macOS, setup, OpenCore and specific config settings, please. Your comment will be more helpful for others, like that. Thank you.

I have dell xps9570 with Intel AX210 and dell mouse MS7421W. mouse not work with kext 2.3.0 from public release. I tried to use kext from this commit and my bluetooth mouse work fine. thank for this great work.

Feedback: After prolonged use, from the release of this patch up until now, my hackintosh has not experienced any crashes due to this kext.

Please tell me where to download the kext from this commit? mx keys and mx master 3s don't work for me either on ax210 please send me a working kext

still not working for me

intel ac9260 laptop, ventura 13.5.2, openCore 0.9.5 my config.plist already updated and I have reorder the kexts based on your config.plist (BluetoolFixup,IntelBTPatcher,IntelBluetoothFirmware)

it is connected, but the indicator on the mouse still on pairing mode (blipping fast)

weirdly my logitech mouses (pebble, vertical) could not connect with my hackintosh. 2 of them do not have any problems when connecting to windows PC.

but now my logitech keyboard connected via bluetooth to my hackintosh

when I type quickly on the keyboard, it turns out that letters are skipped and in general the keyboard works as if it slows down, please tell me how to fix it? there was no such suspension on the native module from broadcom, where the keyboard prints quickly and does not skip letters.

Solution 1: Write slowly 🙈 Solution 2: Wait for the dev to read your comment and consider if it is possible to fix it

MX Keys keyboard does not connect to Sonoma :( WiFi/Bluetooth Intel 9560 USB configured as internal Other devices work correctly. :) Any solution available?

My keyboard mx keys connects great to sonoma with bt. I use the kext I posted above.

@williambj1 would you consider this fix only for Ventura?

For some reason @qhuyduong never came back to us with a reply 😞 and closing this ticket would be great progress, after so many weeks.

Thank you 🙏

EDIT: @Lorys89 would this kext be needed only on NUC8 BTLE chipsets? What about newer BTLE controllers like e.g. AX201, would your kext work there, respectively?

[koechian]

@Lorys89, @qhuyduong Got this working today on Ventura on an Intel AX200 card. Both the Microsoft Designer Keyboard and Microsoft Ergonomic Mouse are working fine. Thanks for your work.

[Lorys89]

I'm just a tester, but the dev was good at fixing it.

[mackonsti]

Hi @Lorys89 why don't you suggest your fix to @williambj1 so that this can be integrated officially in the kext, even if it is only for Ventura?

Did you recompile your kext with latest codebase @Lorys89 ? Thanks

[koechian]

@Lorys89 @qhuyduong While the issue with pairing was fixed after using the compiled Kext from this PR, I am unable to automatically pair the devices after they sleep or on boot. I have to 'Forget' the device, then pair it again in order to use them.

• I have no option in Settings to connect to the device once it has disconnected after sleeping.

  @ctopher7 Do your devices automatically connect on boot or after sleep (ie: The Mouse/Keyboard itself goes to sleep) after using BluetoolFixup v2.6.8?

I have an MX Keys Mini, and I'm using the most current version of Kext, but I can't connect in any way, could anyone help me? could you help @Lorys89 ?

[yflwz]

Download and update the new driver above, but Bluetooth still doesn’t work properly.

[Zephon-H]

It can't be used for my redmibook pro 15 s(AX210). It shows connected to my bluetooth mouse but doesn't actually work.

[phucho2306]

don't work in z690i ultra plus ddr4 (AX411). Loading icon that disappears after clicking the button connect.

[prcmelo]

@Lorys89 Thank you so much! Your kext version made my MX Keys and MX Anywhere 3 to work again!

[MVRL70]

Hello, everyone. I can’t get my HP240 mouse to function on Ventura or Sonoma. Have tried different kexts versions. Is there a workaround ? Thanks !

[tuancuong92]

@qhuyduong bạn tuyệt vời bạn 10 điểm!!! Mình fix dc lỗi bluetooth trên bản hackintosh của mình rồi \:D/

[prcmelo]

For me, Version 2.4.0, (as the official 2.3.0 Release), is a no go to my Logitech MX Series, (keyboard and mouse). I had to revert to the @Lorys89 version, (2.3.0), to make them work again.

Edit: Using macOS Sonoma 14.3.1

Same here. Ventura + @Lorys89 version works for my MX Master 3S.
