When you try Airdrop, does your phone show up on your Mac and nothing happens, or does your Mac not recognize your phone at all? Are both devices on the same wifi network?

I don't thin they're the right ones. CAT gives me errors after uninstalling them.
In comparing the original cloudpaird file to the working one scoobie attached to the thread earlier, it appears that the problem is that the cloudpaird file could not get the correct user folder.
"No errorcloudpaird.sb Failed to initialize sandbox
cloudpaird: Could not get user folder

The attached cloudpaird file doesn't show that problem. Maybe someone else could compare the two files and see if anything else can be spotted.

The correct CAT 2.01 beta can be found here. Once you do that, turn off SIP, install CAT, download the attached file posted by Scoobie and replace the original with it. Reboot Mac and you should have Handoff working in a matter of moments.
Edited to add: Make sure you have a working backup OS before proceeding.
OMG Thank you!!! It works!!! iPhone 6 Plus (9.1) and MBP 2011 (El Capitan GM)!!!, Now my next question is it safe to turn SIP back on after enabling this?
Yes, you can turn SIP back on. Thanks goes to Scoobie for finding the problem and providing a solution. I just summed up the steps.
Reboot via Command +R, go to terminal and input csrutil disable and reboot again. To enable later on, input csrutil enable.
I don't suppose anyone here can build this step into Continuity Activation Tool?
I'm sure it can be done by sysfloat or dokterdok but I'm not a coder so I wouldn't know how. I'm just an engineer
How would one get the coders' attention?I'm sure it can be done by sysfloat or dokterdok but I'm not a coder so I wouldn't know how. I'm just an engineer
I attempted to make contact with sysfloat earlier today. If I don't hear back, I will reach out in a different manner.
If you do make contact, another suggestion that'd be amazing on the off chance that it can be done: The ability to run CAT from the Recovery HD Terminal so that we can disable Rootless, run CAT, and reenable Rootless, all without having to reboot in between each step.
Not sure if it actually matters, but I figure it can't hurt pulling the file from the latest Yosemite patch.
I have an interesting situation here. I've spent roughly 9 hours on this now testing various scenarios. Unfortunately this is resulting in a reliable kernel panic each and every time in my case. I suspect it is dependent upon the BT adapter perhaps that I am using, but would like some input. This worked fine previously for me in Yosemite and so the only differential is 10.11 (GM build). The activator installs fine, cloudpaird is copied over fine, but at reboot the system panics and a complete reinstall is required. Sadly I cannot even copy the old kexts back over and rebuild the caches, etc. to achieve bootability; a full reinstall is essential to getting back up for some reason and so this is a very costly process to troubleshoot for me.
hey guys, just post this to confirm our method is working on PB GM release, wola~~~
for those who wanna ask what I'm done just follow the guide lines:
disable SIT by enter the recoveryOS and type csrutil disable
reboot to normal system run CAT 2.1 beta release, do the patch.
when CAT finish it's job, don't reboot till you replaced cloudpaird download from this thread.
and BOOM handoff option appears in General panel after you reboot again
you can rearm the security settings by re-enable SIT and enable Rootless, hand-off just work till next system update.
