Bluetooth

herbat

Hi,

I tried to run bluetooth on lubutu but no success so far.

I installed blueman bluetooth manager but it does not recognize any new device (no adapter).

Somebody has any hint/how to?

cheers

Hi herbat . You need to copy the bluetooth hcd file and hciattach it first.

Here're the instructions (run with root):

1. 1. Mount Android system partition and copy out the AP6335 hcd file:
   
2. # mount Android system partition
   
3. mount /dev/block/mtd/by-name/system /mnt
   
4. # mkdir for compatiblity
   
5. mkdir -p /system/vendor/firmware
   
6. # copy required hcd file
   
7. cp /mnt/vendor/firmware/bcm4339a0.hcd /system/vendor/firmware/
   
8. # umount
   
9. umount /mnt
   
10. 
    
11. 2. Install the neccessary bluetooth packages:
    
12. apt-get install --no-install-recommends brcm-patchram-plus-nexus7 bluetooth ussp-push
    
13. 
    
14. 
    
15. 
    
16. 3. Power on the bluetooth and do initializaion:
    
17. # Power on
    
18. cat /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/type   # bluetooth
    
19. echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
    
20. 
    
21. # Upload hcd file
    
22. brcm_patchram_plus -d --patchram /system/vendor/firmware/bcm4339a0.hcd --baudrate 1500000 --enable_lpm --enable_hci --no2bytes /dev/ttyS0 &
    
23. 
    
24. 
    
25. 
    
26. 4. Wait some time until the brcm_patchram_plus settles down, then use bluez related commands to test:
    
27. root@firefly:~# hciconfig -a
    
28. hci0:        Type: BR/EDR  Bus: UART
    
29.         BD Address: 43:39:00:00:1F:AC  ACL MTU: 1021:8  SCO MTU: 64:1
    
30.         UP RUNNING PSCAN

42.         LMP Version: 4.0 (0x6)  Subversion: 0x6109
    
43.         Manufacturer: Broadcom Corporation (15)
    
44. 
    
45. hci0 should be up and running now.
    
46. 5. Shutdown bluetooth.
    
47. echo 0 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state

Copy the code

@busyby : thanks for answer

I came with your procedure. Adapter is working as you can see

Copy the code

Unfortunately, after adding device it came with an error with paring procedure.

I am using Blueman applet 1.23 for managing my bluetooth devices.

For example, It recognized my phone (samsung galaxt s5)  but it sends wrong paring codes (wrong numbers) to paring device.

This same problem I have with bluetooth keyborad (Rapoo T Series)

@herbat

I tried blueman, and it paired my phone well with correct code display.

I install it with:

sudo apt-get install blueman notify-osd

Maybe you need to launch the blueman-applet in a terminal window to see detailed log.
