Utilities...you mean the recovery image from Apple's servers, not long since I have a 1 Gb connection.
Wow, that did it indeed! I used big-sur-micropatcher-dev-v0.0.19-B.Hey! you should download the patcher 0.0.19, use the unpatch on the USB boot and repatch it with 0.0.19. After reboot from the USB and run kexts.sh comand (the one with \Volumes\ Image...). It will give you handoff and airdrop
Just for fun I tried MP Version 0.1.1 dev before that, that was a no go.
Thanks!
hello @thatsmeonlyme can you send my please a instruction we you have install
with the big sur micropatcher- dev-0.0.19-B.
i have a iMac 27 inch mid 2011.
Thank you
#3,565 is the instruction. For your machine go to threads of Ausdauersportler. he has a special thread for modded iMacs of this generation. Note if you have the radeon 5.xxx and 6.xxx series your machine will be unusable for the lack of graphics acceleration.

Still no answers to why Wifi is so buggy, like seeing only a wifi networks while there are many more, they will also vanish after a while, can't connect to one of my networks get the "network not found" notification while it's in the Wifi menu.
Lots of network problems.
I have been using Big Sur on an early 2013 MBP with no significant problems - I had replaced the wireless card with a newer one in the past, so I didn't even have any Wi-Fi problem after upgrading.
Unfortunately I'm now running into a weird FileVault-related issue. After creating the USB install media and booting from it, the macOS Recovery environment does not accept my password. I tried changing it from the normal OS, updating the Preboot partition, manually unlocking the disk using Disk Utility and also diskutil from Terminal, nothing. Strangely enough, I can unlock my Catalina partition from Big Sur macOS Recovery.
Of course I could upgrade to beta 6 by disabling FileVault and re-enabling it afterwards, but it's quite annoying. Did any of you encounter such issue? The only reference I could find was on Reddit:

airdrop should work if you use micropatcher 0.19, in order for your mid 2012 13" Macbook Pro Handoff to work , you need upgraded 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.2 wifi card which can be found link below.
dammnnnnn there not a cheaper one I already put 1000 dollars into this computer and also can I delete install Big Sur beta volume I created?airdrop should work if you use micropatcher 0.19, in order for your mid 2012 13" Macbook Pro Handoff to work , you need upgraded 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.2 wifi card which can be found link below.

Guys, I am confused. Where is that micro patcher 0.19? On Barrys Website ist only 0.1.0. Can I use this?
Go to Barry's Website.

If you apply the 0.0.19 patcher all will be working. Handoff, Instant Hotspot and airdrop
That's not correct. If you apply micro patcher 0.0.19 you'll have Handoff, airdrop and Instant Hotspot all working. With replacement wifi card (when/if) they launch it you won't need any wifi patch to make it workairdrop should work if you use micropatcher 0.19, in order for your mid 2012 13" Macbook Pro Handoff to work , you need upgraded 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.2 wifi card which can be found link below.
I thought so too, but it does not. I was able to fix Airdrop using micropatcher 0.0.19. However, I can't get Handoff to work after all. MBP mid 2012 13"
it is happened with me that after apply Micropatcher 0.19 , I got airdrop working but handoff not working then I logged out from iCloud then I login again then it is fixed
Splendid, Handoff is back! Thank you very much!
