I tried several steps while trying to activate any Continuity Features under patched MacOS 10.15 (by dosdude1). The Continuity-Activation-Tool (I also tried the beta) always ends up in boot looping. As far as I am concerned, there are reports of getting AirDrop, Handoff & co. working on my exact model, but I never got any further than the boot loop.
Steps done to try to fix the issue:
Of course, I searched for alternatives, modding kexts on my own was also a thing, but that never changed anything. The only change was either a boot loop or the new bluetooth version (4.0) in the system report. The steps here were close, didn't work. But here was a screenshot attached, everything looked like my setup and he even said it would be possible with a BT4.0 dongle, but his steps or tools also doesn't work for me. I tried to contact this guy but macrumors has not enabled my account since a week. I wanted to try first with the dongle, whether the whole thing works at all, because I am not sure yet also because of the size whether a BCM94331PCIEBT4CAX - card fits at all into the MBP. And, of course, it is very expensive, compared to the dongle.
To sum things up, is there any way to at least get AirDrop working? Is it because of the dongle and such a card is required or will it simply not work with the 13" 2010 MBP?
Thanks for your time,
