ASUS BT-400 (BCM20702A0) Not Working on macOS Sequoia 15.5 - Kexts Fail to Load
Hey everyone,
I'm hoping to get some help with a stubborn Bluetooth issue on my Comet Lake laptop running macOS Sequoia 15.5. I'm using a new ASUS BT-400 dongle, which is correctly detected by the system as a BCM20702A0 device, but it never initializes. The Bluetooth toggle in System Settings is unresponsive.
After a lot of troubleshooting, it seems the core issue is that the necessary Broadcom kexts are failing to load, even with the usual workarounds.
My Hardware:
Laptop: HP Pavilion
CPU: Intel Core i5-10300H (Comet Lake)
iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics (QE/CI is working)
RAM: 20GB
Audio: Realtek ALC Codec (Working via AppleALC, alcid=11)
Ethernet: Realtek RTL8111 (Working)
Bluetooth Dongle: ASUS BT-400 (Chipset: BCM20702A0)
OpenCore Version: 1.0.4
The Problem in Detail:
The system definitely sees the dongle. Both Hackintool and System Report show the BCM20702A0 device on a USB port. However, when I check the system logs, I see a repeating pattern of errors indicating that the kexts are not being loaded by the OS: kernelmanager_helper: Could not process load notification in helper: Could not find: Did not find identifier (as.acidanthera.BrcmFirmwareStore) in helper to process load notification
kernelmanager_helper: Could not process load notification in helper: Could not find: Did not find identifier (as.acidanthera.BlueToolFixup) in helper to process load notification
kernelmanager_helper: Could not process load notification in helper: Could not find: Did not find identifier (as.acidanthera.BrcmPatchRAM3) in helper to process load notification
This leads to the BlueTool process timing out because the firmware is never uploaded.
What I've Tried So Far:
I feel like I've tried all the standard solutions, but none have resolved the kernelmanager_helper errors on Sequoia 15.5.
USB Mapping:
I have created a proper USB map using Hackintool, which generated an SSDT-USBX.aml.
In this map, the port for the BT-400 is correctly set to Internal.
USBToolBox.kext and UTBMap.kext are disabled to avoid conflicts with the SSDT.
The XhciPortLimit quirk is disabled.
Kexts:
I am using the latest versions of BrcmPatchRAM3, BrcmFirmwareData, and BlueToolFixup from Acidanthera.
The kext load order in my config.plist is correct (Lilu, VirtualSMC, then dependencies, then the BT kexts).
Kernel Block Workaround:
I tried blocking com.apple.iokit.IOUserServer with the Exclude strategy to force the system to use the older kextd. This had no effect, and the kernelmanager_helper errors persisted in the logs.
Kernel Force Injection:
As a last resort, I moved the three Bluetooth kexts (BrcmFirmwareData, BrcmPatchRAM3, BlueToolFixup) from Kernel -> Add to Kernel -> Force. This also had no effect, and the exact same kernelmanager_helper errors remain.
General Troubleshooting:
Reset NVRAM multiple times.
Tested the dongle in every physical USB port.
My Resources:
My current config.plist: https://pastebin.com/gN8cNbab
Full boot log (log show --last boot | grep -i -e "brcm" -e "bluetool"): https://pastebin.com/44NHGXx6
It seems like macOS Sequoia 15.5 has maybe changed kext loading in a way that defeats even the Kernel -> Force method for these specific kexts? Not sure.
Has anyone else run into this on Sequoia? Is there a new workaround, a different kext I should be using, or is this simply a case of needing to wait for the Acidanthera team to release updated kexts?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Success macOS 26 Tahoe (Developer Beta) on Alder Lake (i7-12700k, RX 6800)

Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800
RAM: 32GB DDR5
Mainboard: MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI (WIFI is disabled)
WIFI/BT Card: Broadcom BCM943602CS (doesn't work yet)
Had to change some things in my EFI to make it boot (by this guide). And finally fixed the "start::509:Successfully initialized AHCI controller" error.
I previously used iMacPro1,1
as SMBIOS. With MacPro7,1
, my CPU performance is much worse (Geekbench SC: 2560 to 1330 and MC: 14800 to 8410, macOS only, tested under 15 and 26). I tried iMac20,1
but the scores were also quite low.

Stuck on choosing a language
Hello, Hackintosh enthusiasts! I need your help. I decided to install macOS 26 "Tahoe," but at first, nothing worked absolutely nothing. Thanks to the news about broken graphics cards, kexts, and so on. However, today I managed to reach the system language selection screen. And the funny part? It works with the RX 470! If you think it's because of the iGPU, no—I have an R5 5600 (which lacks an integrated GPU). If anything, it might be because of my 2060, which can reach the home screen but without hardware acceleration. After switching to the RX 470, the display worked smoothly. Now, the issue: I'm stuck at the language selection screen. I select a language, wait a few seconds, and it just loops back. Is there any way to fix or bypass this? Another weird thing—my RX 470 won’t let me into recovery, but the 2060 does. If anyone knows how to solve this, I’d really appreciate your help!

Forced to switch to Mac for school, but I want a gaming laptop – need advice
Hey everyone, I need some help figuring out a situation.
I was originally planning to buy a gaming PC with a 5070 GPU and an i7-14700K for around $1500 USD. However, due to a sudden school change, I'm now being required to buy either an iPad or a MacBook Air for roughly the same price, just to run a specific school software that only works on macOS.
Instead of buying a MacBook, I’m looking at the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 with a 4070 and an i9, since I still want to game and have a high-performance machine.
Here’s the issue: the school requires that I bring the laptop to them so their IT team can install the necessary software. They’ll have the machine for about three days, factory reset it, and install the software, which only works on macOS. Without this software, I can’t even access the school Wi-Fi. It also monitors what I’m doing during school hours.
So, here are my questions:
1. Is it possible to install macOS on the Zephyrus G16 (essentially Hackintosh it), and then have the school install their software on that?
2. If so, how is gaming performance on macOS in 2025? Is it even remotely viable?
3. Alternatively, is there a way I can set up a macOS virtual machine on the laptop, let them install the required software on that, and hide the fact that it’s running in a VM? Would they be able to tell?
I'm trying to avoid losing out on gaming performance and versatility by being locked into hardware I don’t really want. Any help or advice would be appreciated!
