alright, i found the "Mac-" i was looking for, changed the number to the one in terminal, followed the directions.But when i go to system report, Handoff: NO, Instant Hotspot: NO, BTLE 4: YES. There still isn't a hotspot enable option in settings.

I miss the second step in getting the hex but already installed the new card could someone help me please I got the first hex
hello,
are whole days that I do all kinds of tests.
Macbook pro mid 2010 BCM94331PCIEBT4CAX
Mac-F22586C8
I tried F22586C800000000, 00000000F22586C8 without result.
Only with yosemite beta 2 I can find button handoff in system preferences / general
and 3 YES in bluetooth. But, unfortunately, airdrop does not work.
I think there is something else to do.
I read in the hackintosh community that there is a bootloader called CLOVER, which can trick the mac and make believe to have the 4360 card installed.
Unfortunately it's all too complicated for me.
I am doing tests on an external hard drive
Don't replace another board id, just add yours with its exact code : Mac-F22586C8, and save.

I can't take the credit, it's a repost that's been floating on here for awhile. But glad I could help by reposting
User: dokterdok and I have been pming and he said last night that he figured out how to make it work. He said he was able to remove the 2011 MBA from the "blacklist" however I haven't heard back from him how he did it yet. He did say he would post his findings here once he wrote them up. So basically I'm patiently waiting to hear his findings.Any news for MBA mid 2011?
Great! Hope that everything will work well.
So.. fingers crossed and... keep calm
