Sometimes I lose Bluetooth on my MacPro.
Hello everyone, I was looking at the different solutions to put BigSur on my Mac Pro 2009 4.1> 5.1. I was going to apply the "Easy to install package" from h9826790 ...
Only, I just came across this subject of @tsialex and @TECK evoking his bluetooth problem.
Currently on my Mac Pro, I am running Mojave 10.14.6 with the Bootrom 144.0.0.0.0. and it sometimes happens to me (let's say, two or three times a year) that my Mac, when starting up, no longer recognizes my Bluetooth Magic Mouse (with batteries).
I have generally worked around the problem by restarting the Mac several times (and restarting the mouse) and zapping the NVRAM.
Last week, I did it when I woke up from the Mac, the mouse was no longer responding. After restarting and restoring NVRAM, everything is back to normal.
So far I always thought of a fleeting problem between the mouse and the Mac, maybe even due to the age of the mouse (over 10 years old) and as I don't use other devices. Bluetooth, not sure if it does with other gear.
But there, or I had a doubt, it was while reading the messages in the links above, I thought to myself that this could perhaps come from a Bootrom which was starting to be corrupted.
In the idea of installing BigSur, I wanted to make a backup of my current Bootrom. I downloaded ROMTool, I thought this utility could do backups, but before doing anything stupid someone could tell me what step to take to make a backup? I only read two options "Dump system ROM" and "Flash system ROM".
Do you think my bluetooth problem is the Iceberg submerged part of a probable corrupted ROM? What would be the other signs?
Thanks for your help.
