105b:e065 Bluetooth Will not work

[Mitch Dabbas]

I have an issue with my Bluetooth, in a Lenovo 50-70. It will not turn on, and if I try to turn it on, it gives the message that no adapters found. I tried converting the .hex windows driver t .hcd, but that didn't help.

[Pilot6 (hanipouspilot)]

This adapter is not supported by the kernel yet.

The support has been added to bluetooth-next tree 5 days ago.

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/bluetooth/bluetooth-next.git/commit/drivers/bluetooth/btusb.c?id=2faf71ce90782d02e1710c12a19a2084fbbec5cc

I will build a dkms module shortly.

[Pilot6 (hanipouspilot)]

This package should fix the issue.

https://launchpad.net/~hanipouspilot/+archive/ubuntu/bluetooth/+files/btusb-lp1509803-dkms_0.1~14.04.3_all.deb

You will need to install firmware too. This can be done this way.

http://askubuntu.com/a/632348/167850

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

Tried the above, and that didn't change anything. Bluetooth still doesn't work. If I force it on, I still get no adapters found, when trying to add any bluetooth device.

[Pilot6 (hanipouspilot)]

Give output of

dmesg | grep -i blue

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

While installing the patch, I t this:

btusb:
Running module version sanity check.
Error! Module version 0.6 for btusb.ko
is not newer than what is already found in kernel 3.19.0-32-generic (0.6).
You may override by specifying --force.

[Pilot6 (hanipouspilot)]

Oh, I forgot about the sanity check in the updated dkms.

I fixed it in

https://launchpad.net/~hanipouspilot/+archive/ubuntu/bluetooth/+files/btusb-lp1509803-dkms_0.2~14.04.3_all.deb

It should appear in ~minutes.

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

It didn't work. It works for a while, but it won't detect any bluetooth device, such as a mouse, and the system gets hung while restarting, and the only way it to hard power it. Once the system power up again, Bluetooth is disabled again.

Once everything is reversed, the system acts the way it should.

[Jeremy (wa113y3s)]

Your firmware file isn't named correctly

sudo mv /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM43142A0-105b:e065.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM43142A0-105b-e065.hcd

Then try Pilot6's fix

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

It has been named correctly, and still doesn't work. I even connected a drive that has windows on it, and it shows that the driver in use is: BCM43142A0_001.001.011.0244.0245.hex. Also tried that, and nothing worked. Thanks

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

 Bluetooth still doesn't work. If I force it on, I still get no adapters found, when trying to add any bluetooth device.

[Jeremy (wa113y3s)]

Try this firmware file, it was confirmed to work
wget http://www.gnebehay.com/blog/lenovo-flexpad-bluetooth-debian/BCM43142A0-105b-e065.hcd
sudo cp BCM43142A0-105b-e065.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/
sudo modprobe -r btusb
sudo modprobe btusb

[Jeremy (wa113y3s)]

You could try my dkms file to see if it works

wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/6yau4ieg6iv47xo/btusb-dkms_3.0_all.deb
dpkg -i btusb-dkms_3.0_all.deb

Reboot

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

OK. I downloaded the firmware, and did

sudo cp BCM43142A0-105b-e065.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/
sudo modprobe -r btusb
sudo modprobe btusb

That didn't work.

So I downloaded and applied the dkms file, and that turned bluetooth on, but it won't detect or see any device. My mouse, phone, headset were not detected at all.

[Pilot6 (hanipouspilot)]

Try to convert the firmware file from Windows.

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

I have already tried that, and it didn't help.

[Jeremy (wa113y3s)]

Power off the laptop and do a cold boot

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

I've tried all that, same results :(

[Jeremy (wa113y3s)]

What does

dmesg | egrep -i 'blue|firm'

show?

[Pilot6 (hanipouspilot)]

I remember that these IDs have been removed from kernels because it appeared to be two devices with the same IDs.

For some of the devices adding PATCHRAM caused regressions for the whole system, like hangs or lags.

I can't find that commit yet. If someone finds it, please tell me or Marcel Holtmann.

This patch appeared again in bluetooth-next.

[Pilot6 (hanipouspilot)]

That's weird. It does not try to load the firmware at all. Are you sure the module is installed correctly?

Please give output of

dkms status

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

Pilot. I apologize, the above output is from another system, Here is the correct output:

[Jeremy (wa113y3s)]

It shows it is up now. Put something in pairing mode and see if bluetooth can find it now

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

That's the problem, sometimes it let me search for devices, but it won't find anything, or it finds, but won't pair, or anything else. And most of the time, when I click on add device, I get the message, No adapters found.

[Jeremy (wa113y3s)]

sudo hciconfig hci0 piscan

Then see if it finds a device in pairing mode with

hcitool scan

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

sudo hciconfig hci0 piscan
Can't set scan mode on hci0: Network is down (100)

hcitool scan
Device is not available: No such device

Now here is the deal. Sometimes the mouse connects, and it works for a few hours, and then quits, and won't connect again.

[Jeremy (wa113y3s)]

Power down the laptop, remove the wifi card and check the connector for dirt or debris. Reinstall wifi card and boot

If that doesn't help, you might need a new card as this appears to be a hardware issue

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

I've already done all the hardware related troubleshooting. Plus the fact that its a brand new laptop, and as stated before, I plugged a windows drive, to get the correct driver,and bluetooth works just fine.

[Jeremy (wa113y3s)]

Can you use the grub menu to boot into an older 3.19 kernel and see if it works, I have been having a few issues with the latest 3.19 kernel and haven't had the time to figure out what is causing the issue

[Mitch Dabbas (adabbas)]

Already tried that, same results :(

[Jeremy (wa113y3s)]

Can you install a 3.13 kernel? That chip was supported yet in 3.13 but the file needs to be /lib/firmware/fw-105b_e065.hcd

In 16.04 you can see a hint in dmesg. The file needs to be in cd /lib/firmware/brcm and named BCM.hcd .
The file can be found here:
https://github.com/gnebehay/gnebehay.com/blob/master/contents/blog/lenovo-flexpad-bluetooth-debian/BCM43142A0-105b-e065.hcd

If you run sudo modprobe -r btusb && sudo modprobe btusb
it should load. There are some issues with the profile too.

Since there are some existing files in /lib/firmware/brcm there, there must have been a mechanism to fix it that was started by someone.
for now the above is a workaround, it would be great if this gets structurally fixed.
