How to Fix OpenCore Restart, Sleep, Bluetooth and iMessage problems
This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
Prerequisites
- Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
- Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.
Fix Steps
- Verify your network controller model (Intel, Broadcom, Realtek).
- Ensure the correct kext (e.g., AirportItlwm or BrcmPatchRAM) is loaded in your config.
- Clear network interfaces and reset NVRAM if changes don't apply.
Verification
- Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

I've been able to use the build for 1 day with 4 main issues:
1) Restart gets stuck at the boot menu. After I restart, I can see the boot menu, it flashes for a second and than it gets stuck. It works only 20% of the time..I have to force-restart my pc using the button and than it works. Shutdown works fine.
2) My bluetooth dongle keeps crashing. It works for 2-3 seconds and than it restarts and so on. I did port my USBs, I have the USB Power fix. Nothing works? It's a CSR8510 A10 - I guess I just have to buy a different one?
3) Sleep works only sometimes. Basically, if I put my pc to sleep, everything closes for around 15-20 seconds and than instantly powers everything (but the screen) on. Ive seen it sleep for more, but it's inconsistent. I already tried changing some things (as per the OpenCore troubleshoot tutorial).
4) iMessage does not work. Siri, everything else, works. But iMessage does not. I can login, even try to write a message, but after that it closes and asks me to log in again. I've tried again and again with different serial numbers and nothing works. I believe my NVRAM works, so that's not the issue
