Now it would be interesting to find the common denominator that causes the BluetoolFixup.kext conflict with Sonoma OTA.  I have BluetoolFixup.kext 2.6.8 [Dev] installed on my HackBookPro6,2 and it does NOT block Sonoma OTA.

 

I also have the latest version ( DEV ) and if I don't remove it after 15 minutes the update fails and this always comes out:

No problem to update here with BluetoolFixup.kext ( 2.6.7  https://dortania.github.io/builds/?product=BrcmPatchRAM&viewall=true&version=2.6.7&sha=07dca0d7a0c46d9ac5e781cefedf4cdf6f8b2952 ) 🤷‍♂️

It depends on which versions of BlueToolFixup you are using, I guess.

 

I am using this build by zxysd: https://github.com/zxystd/BrcmPatchRAM. It's ahead of the Acidanthera release and I didn't have to disable it prior to updating Sonoma – and it also works with Intel Cards.

[Cyberdevs]

If I recall correctly the bluetoolfixup and update issue isn’t something new. It all started with macOs Monterey. So I stopped using it when I started using the fenvi T919 but I still get the update issue from time to time so the bluetoolfixup isn’t the common denominator. Instead the nvram reset solves the issue most of the time for me.

[deeveedee]

@Cyberdevs I think there is some correlation between BluetoolFixup.kext and Sonoma OTA issues.  Those who are reporting it have a mix of BluetoolFixup.kext 2.6.7 [Rel] and 2.6.8 [Dev].  2.6.8 [Dev] includes zxystd's mods (which zxystd inserted themself).  Also, I may be guessing, but those who reported the BluetoolFixup.kext issue have probably tried NVRAM Reset.

 

For those who have reported their BluetoolFixup.kext issue (or non-issue), it would be helpful if you edited your posts to include your current version of OC, Lilu, SIP and your SMBIOS model .

Can you be kind and upload the version of Bluetoolfixup.kext you use. I can't find it.

[PoMpIs]

Use nightly build of 2.6.8 from Acidanthera: https://dortania.github.io/builds/?product=BrcmPatchRAM&viewall=true

 

@PoMpIs same for you

I did it once, but it seems that it had no effect...

 

Today I reset the nvram a couple of times and it's back to life 😐 

 

[deeveedee]

Leaving this post below for historical reasons.  As stated later in this thread by PMHeart and 1Revenger1, the versioning of the Dortania nightly builds and Acidanthera's versioning in github are NOT synchronized.  For example, BrcmPatchRAM 2.6.7 [Release] in github may not include changes that appear in BrcmPatchRAM 2.6.7 in nightly builds (because the version may not have been bumped in XCode before changes were introduced after the release of 2.6.7 on github).

For this reason, it is important to read and interpret the nightly build change log for nightly build versions separately from reading and interpretting the change log for releases in github (and never to assume that version 2.6.7 in github is the same as version 2.6.7 in nightly builds).

================================================================

It appears to me that something is wrong with the Acidanthera nightly build for BrcmPatchRAM.  Could someone check this and tell me where I'm wrong?  It appears to me that the nightly build versioning of BrcmPatchRAM is out of sync with the Acidanthera github commits.

 

In the Acidanthera github commits, the history clearly shows that zxystd's commits happened after BrcmPatchRAM 2.6.7 was released (to be released in version 2.6.8)

Spoiler

 

 

In the Acidanthera nightly builds, the history indicates that zxystd's fixes are in BrcmPatchRAM 2.6.7

Could @Cyberdevs be correct and your Sonoma OTA issue would have been fixed by Resetting NVRAM?

 

In my case, to update Sonoma on the lenovo I need to disable BluetoolFixup... just resetting the nvram doesn't work... it always failed when preparing the update when it reached 15 minutes 🤷‍♂️

No, still not working and I think will also try the kext compiling 😁

[Max.1974]

INTEL EFI Opencore compiled from source code 0.9.4, Kexts and SSDT Compiled, all  from XCODE. And used SSDTTime from Windows install 

 

Wireless work on Ventura and Sonoma, can't not change Min Max kernel from config.plist 

 

PLEASE NOT INSTALL BROADCOM WITH THIS KEXTS (Change to your USBMap)

 

EFI INTEL Z790 XCODE.zip 

 

 

 BROADCOM EFI Opencore Compiled from source code 0.9.4, Kexts and SSDT Compiled, all  from XCODE. And used SSDTTime from Windows install 

 

EFI BRCM Z790 XCODE.zip

 

Wireless works in dual boot because contain only for Sonoma, and Broadcom is native Wireless, so work fine with kexts to Broadcom Bluetooth. 

 

Its installer to works with PCIe Broadcom installed and Intel Bluetooth Wireless 

 

It's good if you can use your on USBmaps. Im left USBInjectAll.kext to remap.

This information is correct, because we bumped version later. When our releases land in August, the version will be correct.

[deeveedee]

@PMheart Not sure I understand the difference between the 2.6.7 and 2.6.8 nightly builds (and how they relate to the 2.6.7 Release build in github), but what's most important is that downloading the nightly 2.6.8 build includes zxystd's BluetoolFixup.kext changes.  Thank you!
