Not working after upgrade to High Sierra #403

Closed demeeder closed 6 years ago

UPDATED: WORKS with SIP disabled.

Your Issue: Tool has worked flawlessly for several OS X updates. I also have not been required to disable SIP. However, after updating to 10.13 (High Sierra), the tool does not appear to enable handoff or continuity (per System Report). Also, can't seem to get airdrop to work either, but that is least of my concerns. Below is the report from the Continuity Tool.

Steps done to try to fix the issue: Ran multiple times.

I have the entire text file with the bazillion lines if you need to see it.

So just running the tool worked once you had SIP disabled?

checkolala commented 6 years ago

@drgonz0 : yes, works for me

demeeder commented 6 years ago

yes. Back to requiring SIP being disabled. Everything worked as before.

With your success I felt comfortable upgrading. I didn't have to do anything and all Handoff and Continuity items are working. I have a Mid 2010 27" iMac i7. About 2 or 3 years ago I upgraded the wifi/bluetooth module. So I'm working out of the box without any need for disabling SIP, or running Continuity activation tool.

For me is not working on MBP2011@i7-2720QM@2.20GHz with a BCM94331PCIEBT4CAX wifi card.

Also not working for me on a clean install of macOS High Sierra 10.13 on a Mac Pro 5,1, using a Broadcom BCM943602CDP. When running CAT for the first time it says that Continuity is already activated and then quits.

Also not working here, with the exception of AirDrop (no Handoff, Instant Hotspot, Universal Clipboard, etc.). Clean install of 10.13 on a Late 2011 MBP (MacBookPro8,2) with a BCM94331PCIEBT4CAX card. Worked under El Capitan and Sierra with no issues.

fixed in the latest beta.
