10.10.3 Update broke CAT and wifi #168

Open frizby66 opened 9 years ago

frizby66 commented 9 years ago

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011), Broadcom upgrade. 10.10.2 worked perfectly but after applying 10.10.3 and then installing CAT again, initial fault was a panic error and system constantly rebooting. Did a NVRAM reset and system boots, but wifi hardware went missing. Tried all the usual fixes on NVRAM etc. but still no hardware. Uninstall CAT and wifi returns. Any ideas?

Hi, the drivers were apparently corrupted at some point. I've had reports by many users that their OS X 10.10.3 update worked fine.

Could you please have a look at the recommended upgrade steps below and confirm where your steps differed, and at which moment(s) exactly did you uninstall CAT? Which version(s) of CAT did you use to activate OS X 10.10.2 and 10.10.3?

Update steps

Initial state: Have 10.10.x installed with CAT 2.0 working.

  1. Install new version of OS X 10.10
  2. Verify if Continuity is or isn't working. If it's not working, continue. If it is, do nothing.
  3. Download the latest version of CAT (2.0.0 or 2.0.1 beta)
  4. Run the Activation procedure

Please note that uninstalling CAT after an OS X update restores an older, clean version of the drivers which may or may not be compatible with the new OS X version you have installed.

I'm a little worried about running CAT again. I updated from 10.10.2 to 10.10.3 and Handoff ceased to work. I figure I have to run CAT again. Is it safe?

dokterdok commented 9 years ago

@CaptSaltyJack if you follow the recommended update steps above there's no reason it should fail. See here for reports of people who had the patch applied correctly.

frizby66 commented 9 years ago

Hi,

I had 10.10.2 working and updated to 10.10.3 which stopped CAT from working (which I expected). I then ran CAT again and that's when I got issues with panic failures and constant reset. I booted in safe mode and uninstalled CAT which got me back up and running as normal but no handoff enabled. Have tried running CAT again a couple of times and always the same issue. Are there any specific files I should checking for version numbers in OSX?

panic failures and constant reset

Oh man, I'll be avoiding this for now till it's proven to be stable.

dokterdok commented 9 years ago

Could you please provide a copy of the CAT system diagnostic, which version of the tool you ran to activate Continuity (on both OS X 10.10.2 and OS X 10.10.3), and the following info:

 > About This Mac > System Report > Hardware > Bluetooth > Apple Bluetooth Software Version.  > About This Mac > System Report > Network > Wi-Fi > IO80211 Family.

On my Mac, OS X 10.10.3 shows: Bluetooth Software Version: 4.3.4f4 15601 IO80211 Family: 7.3 (730.60)

EDIT: also, when you activated CAT on OS X 10.10.3, were there any errors? Did you use the regular activation or forced it?

frizby66 commented 9 years ago

Checked and am running the same Bluetooth and IO80211 versions. Below is dig results:-

Ok the drivers + hardware seem fine. Let's look at the kernel panic log.

Open Finder > Go > Go to Folder... and enter /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports

Look for the Kernel(...).panic file made at the time of your kernel panic. Open it and report the contents here.

frizby66 commented 9 years ago

Found the problem… ManyCamLLC driver. Had applied the CAT and got the panic errors again so ran in safe mode and looked at the log and could see it has something to do with manycam driver. When CAT is not applied, then not a problem. Uninstalled manycam and all is good. Strange thing is that maniac has been installed for over a year with no issues and has been there on 10.10 /.1 /.2 but only an issue with 10.10.3 and when CAT installed. Below is the log in case it helps for future.

Handoff is not working for me on both Mac and iPhone since the 10.10.3 update. I have installed CAT again with no success. Also tried to uninstall and reinstall. And yes, I remembered to sign out and sign in iCloud and toggle BT on both devices.

System diagnostics points everything ok. What can I trie?

ghost commented 9 years ago

I find that the CAT Tool is a bit like an old TV set. ;) You kind of have to bang it a few times to get it working. I'm on 10.10.3, and I basically ran an uninstall, reinstalled it, and turned off/on iCloud. It still didn't work. I logged out/in a couple times, and I think I rebooted. Eventually it kicked in and works now.

ghost commented 9 years ago

Oh shoot, this broke my wifi too. I go into the Network prefs, and I click "Turn Wi-Fi On" and nothing happens. Actually, this error occurs in the Console:

4/17/15 7:54:35.000 PM kernel[0]: en2: BSSID changed to 90:72:40:24:50:79

Any ideas?
