Finally I can install the Mac successfully. Both Windows and Mac bluetooth drivers are working. Thanks so much guys :D

Hey @anht3889 , can you describe what you did to make bluetooth work in both Windows and macOS? I am in the same situation as you were before:

For macOS:

For Windows:

I'm on latest EFI release which is 3.6, and macOS 10.15.2, if it matters.

TL;DR: I attached cables to 2CS card as follows (attached photo):

To both @Errrneist and @anht3889 and (everyone else if they know what this is):

Also, thanks for the awesome guide, @Errrneist. I have been on my macOS for than 2 weeks now and it runs smooth as hell.

Hey @anht3889 , can you describe what you did to make bluetooth work in both Windows and macOS? I am in the same situation as you were before:

  • Bought BCM943602CS from TaoBao (Superbuy as proxy to get it delivered to USA)
  • Replaced the built-in WiFi with 2CS and attached the two built-in antennas (or those wires - not sure what they are called - one is grey and other is black) to J0 (black) and J1 (grey).
  • The 2CS card already came with a cable attached to J2. The end is just an antenna (with an adhesive to keep the cable in place?) which I left it as is.
  • Also, there's one more cable - which has blue-ends with a white strip. I looked at photos which @Errrneist posted in the repository and attached the other end to the slot.

For macOS:

  • WiFi worked as fine. No bluetooth.

For Windows:

  • After installing drivers and rebooting, Wifi worked as fine. No bluetooth

I'm on latest EFI release which is 3.6, and macOS 10.15.2, if it matters.

TL;DR: I attached cables to 2CS card as follows (attached photo):

  • J0 to black cable
  • J1 to grey cable
  • J2 (left it as is - comes attached with an antenna)

To both @Errrneist and @anht3889 and (everyone else if they know what this is):

  • Did I do it right?
  • @anht3889, can you lay out the steps you did to solve the BT issues please?

Also, thanks for the awesome guide, @Errrneist. I have been on my macOS for than 2 weeks now and it runs smooth as hell.

For Bluetooth in Windows, you’ll need to install the driver I mentioned in the reader.MD, I think it is in the pre-install module. So far everything looks right...if it is not showing up Hummmm try check the connections of the two ends of the ribbon cables.

Yes. I installed the driver as mentioned.

This. I think this is what the issue is for me. The slot which open/closes is a little lose and it doesn't just fit in. No click sounds or any feedback when I close the lid for that ribbon cable. Is it the same for you?

The ribbon cable should have a nice feedback...the two ends should provide the same experience when you insert. If not, you probably have a faulty board and should ask for a replacement...idk

Thank you for the response. I'll close this issue now.

wu-hongjun commented 4 years ago

Thank you for the response. I'll close this issue now.

If it is not showing up in Windows and Mac the only thing I can think of is hardware issue.

ishtiaq156 commented 4 years ago

Indeed. It was that ribbon cable retainer thing. I opened up the case and tighten it up a bit again and that’s about it. Got bluetooth as well in both Windows and macOS. No more dongles now. Thanks!
