You need to use BrcmPatchRAM3.kext (Why isn't this mentioned more often?)
Without it I also have this problem on IntelAX211

I give up on this shit, I'm already switched to BCM cards

I give up on this shit , gonna buy a BCM94360NG
After adding BrcmPatchRAM3.kext bluetooth starts working even on intel chips, so maybe give that a try first?
straight off the bat, Bluetooth is way smoother. I was especially having this issue when on calls from my Mac so I'll test it with a call later.
Thanks! My Bluetooth seems to work flawlessly and it even sounds better and connects way smoother it practically feels perfectly like a native card. They need to include this in the OpenCore guide or somewhere in the brcmpatch repo.

You're welcome! I really think this should be mentioned in the IntelBluetoothFirmware README
It's not just required for Sonoma, it also fixes a bunch of issues on Ventura. Bluetooth sometimes stopped working after wake from sleep, with BrcmPatchRAM3.kext that's fixed also.
Experienced the same regarding using Web Bluetooth. Adding BrcmPatchRAM3.kext is not really an option for our end-users (on a web application).
report issue here. macOS 14.0 sonoma + kext v2.3.0 connect bt mice and bt kbd, after open AirPods (A2031 Version 6A300) and connect to macOS, the bt crash crash log here
sudo-dmesg-grep-i-bluetooth.txt
I swap with below kext and works fine now. my mx master bt still cannot connect https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/IntelBluetoothFirmware/pull/446
Same issue here - only difference is that I have an Intel AX201
same ax201, have you solved it? I tried to add BrcmPatchRAM3.kext and nothing works!
@ShroomKing Besides BrcmPatchRAM3.kext, does any other ktext need to be added? I add BrcmPatchRAM3.kext for my ax201 but it don't work.
Intel 7265NGW Bluetooth side does not work either in Sonoma. All was good before. WiFi works fine.
Intel AX200 Bluetooth not working in Sonoma, but WiFi works fine.

Intel AX200 Bluetooth not working in Sonoma, but WiFi works fine.
I'm having the exact same issue. I went back to Ventura in the meantime.
try adding the bluetoolfixup bootarg -btlfxallowanyaddr
It's still not functioning properly. While it seems that the kext isn't loading, the logs indicate that it has been loaded.
try adding the bluetoolfixup bootarg -btlfxallowanyaddr
Indeed, does not solve this particular issue.
Alright, it was just a guess based on the system info output for the bluetooth controller (Address = NULL)
I use AX211 and it works for me(Also works for @KaushikDuddala but idk which chip he is using)
Guess BrcmPatchRAM doesn’t work for all intel chips.
It worked for me with Intel 9560 on Sonoma, try this: https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/IntelBluetoothFirmware/pull/446#issuecomment-1729711030
My AX201 bluetooth address was null, After added BlueToolFixup.kext.zip, it's ok. https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/IntelBluetoothFirmware/files/11672823/BlueToolFixup.kext.zip Refer to https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/IntelBluetoothFirmware/issues/437#issuecomment-1579958516
Also my AX201 works in Sonoma. I've using latest BlueToolFixup kext, and myself build of IntelBluetoothFirmware kext with updated firmware and patch for LE devices(https://github.com/OpenIntelWireless/IntelBluetoothFirmware/pull/446). Kexts.zip

This works. Thanks.
I'm working on a fix for a day and think I miss something ovious, just too long in this topic. My problem is the Mac does not see any BT devices.
What I did so far, connecting a antena, trying out @Deihmos new Kexts, playing around with BrcmPatchRAM,...

Your build saved my life. Now I can connect to my MX Mouse flawlessly.

Thanks, this solved my problem with mx master

sdkdimon, would you be able to kindly build the latest firmware version with the patch for LE devices? The only thing that seems to be working with MX mouse is the kext you had built with patch and it is no longer the latest firmware version. Thanks in advance. Much appreciated.
