Monterey OLARILA bluetooth issue

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Hello,

First of all, I would like to thank for all the help installing Monterey on my Hackintosh. Wonderful job, congrats!

As soon as I finish the installation I got a BCM 4350C2 with NULL adress over my System Report->Bluetooth.

I use hackintosh since 2016 with differents external USB dongle for bluetooth (upgrading to a newer device as needed) and this time my dongle just flashes the blue light and goes OFF when I plugged it in (and doesn't work also).

I believe that this BCM 4350C2 is not allowing my USB dongle to work. Pardon if I'm wrong, but this is my guess.

How can I remove the BCM4350C2 from my hack's devices?

Or what could possibly solve my situation?

Thanks!

Sorry I just made this topic on BigSur, my bad..

IMPORTANT: My motherboard is a Z97 pro with an older not supported wifi+bluetooth module.
