CAT and El Capitan working on:

[mobile4]

Hello to everybody. If you use EL Cap with the build in card and CAT works please confirm it. Like: MBP early 2011, CAX card - successful. OR MBP late 2011, CAX card. - Handoff works, Airdrop doesn't. WiFi issue. I guess it will be useful for the people who plan to move to EL Cap. Thank you in advance

MBP early 2011, CAX card - successful.

Beta Version 2.1.1 working on MBP Early 2011 running 10.11 and with CAX card fitted. Handoff and Airdrop working. Ran csrutil before installing. Had CAT previously installed before El Capitan update, did not remove prior to update. CAT was broken after update, not after running Beta 2.1.1, everything is working fine :-)

MBP Early 2011 with CAX is a success. Thanks,

Macbook Air, Mid 2011, (MBA 4,2) NOT working (previously worked with Yosemite). Get an error message saying that Continuity is already activated so the tool doesn't run, even though in diagnostic mode it says the board-ID is not yet whitelisted.

Installed CAT 2.1.1 on MBA (Mid 2011) with El Capitan public update. Airdrop, Handsoff not working with IOS devices updated to IOS 9.0.2

Early 2011 Macbook Pro 8,2 Upgraded Broadcom Airport Extreme board. CAT 2.1.1 I assume. latest beta as of late September. versions still report as v2 in get-info window or v 2.0.0 in terminal when run. I replaced cloudpaird as per MacRumors discussions. OS is El Capitan OS X 10.11.1 (15B22c). Disabled SIP for install of CAT and for replacement of cloudpaird . Airdrop and Handoff all seem to be working. I have been able to install and then re-instal CAT for two latest El Cap betas with success. CAT Diagnostics still gives me a warning that my hardware doesn’t support Bluetooth 4 but I have to assume something thinks I still have the original Airport board.

MBA Mid 2011 - Successful

Curious as to how Frizzy66 and got it to work.

I get the following message when I run the diagnostic tool: which curiously tells me that OSX is listing Continuity as active even though my board is not white-listed.

Then when I go and try to actually run the tool it fails with the following message:

I get the following message when I try to force the script to run using "sudo sh contitool -f "

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Operator911,

On the MBA, I did the following:-

1) Uninstalled CAT before updating to El Capitan. 2) Updated El Capitan. 3) CMD-R to command prompt. 4) "csrutil disable" 5) Reboot 6) Run CAT tool. 7) Reboot 8) Checked functionality. 9) CMD-R to command prompt. 10) "csrutil enable" 11) Reboot.

Everything works a treat and System Information shows that Handoff is enabled and have verified this with iPhone 6 running IOS9.

MBP early 2011, CAX card - successful.

After installation, I have to do this to get handoff working: http://gizmodo.com/how-to-get-handoff-to-actually-work-in-os-x-yosemite-1651489730

I can't pair my iPhone 6 + (9.0.2 iOS) using bluetooth. Although, there is no problem paring my iPad (9.0.1 iOS). ###Solved###, there wasn't a CAT issue => " (...) when I enabled Personal Hotspot on a given iPhone and connected to hotspot (from bluetooth symbol on menu), it seemed to fix the pairing problem!" from http://forums.imore.com/ios-8/302906-unable-too-connect-bluetooth-iphone-6-plus-mac-2.html

Although the tool report all OK, but it still doesn't work. I'm also curious how @frizby66 got it to work.
