What happened
Hi, I captured new logs on my Xiaomi device (psyche). The hook is successful, but the connection still fails.
I found massive SecurityException: Need BLUETOOTH PRIVILEGED permission when AirPodsService.updateBattery tries to call setMetadata().
Also, there are ClassNotFoundException for standard AOSP classes like com.android.bluetooth.bc.BCService because MIUI heavily modified the Bluetooth stack.
Could these exceptions be crashing the service and dropping the L2CAP socket? I attached the log for your reference.

Research direction
Start with the attached log and the reported SecurityException from AirPodsService.updateBattery when it calls setMetadata(), then compare it with the ClassNotFoundException entries for MIUI's Bluetooth stack. Done means identifying whether these exceptions cause the L2CAP connection failure and documenting or resolving the MIUI-specific failure path.
