I have a laptop Dell inspiron 15-3521 with Ubuntu 12.04 pre-installed, It was working good (I removed this Ubuntu).I installed Ubuntu 14.04 (fresh install).

Bluetooth device is enabled and turned on and visible.

Unfortunately, your Bluetooth device:

Is not supported by any version of stock Ubuntu, please refer to
Bug1129865 [Broadcom Combo BT/Wifi Card] 21D3 21D7 Bluetooth does not detect anything at all
(The reason is listed in comment #7)

And I will suggest you to subscribe to this bug:
Bug 1065400 Support for loading Broadcom bluetooth firmware
There might be a workaround in that thread, good luck!

To have a complete solution I write all my steps from the beginning:

  1. Find ID of your device:

    My output for example:

    from which 0a5c:21d7 should be remembered.

  2. Get a hex file for your device:

    • After searching for bluetooth drivers in Google I have chosen this download: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/BLUETOOTH/Broadcom/Broadcom-43142-Bluetooth-40-Adapter-Driver-12007030-for-Windows-8.shtml#download
    • I have extracted the last .hex file by chance. Fortunately it worked. STEPS: In nautilus right-click on the downloaded .cab file > chose Open with Archive Manager > select last .hex file in the archive list > right click >Extract..
    • download and compile hex2hcd
    • convert the .hex to .hcd
  3. Copy the hcd file to /lib/firmware as lib/firmware/fw-0a5c_21d7.hcd.

    In the filename use the ID which you have previously found out.

sb.sb.

Managed services wordpress templates. Answers saying that I have to install Windows to get a firmware for Linux .. sound wrong, isn't it?

But the previous answers were gold. I have Bluetooth working after long time in my Dell with Ubuntu 12.04 386.Here my completions to the previous answers (especially sb):

  1. The sb's cab is good and had the hex files for several chips on this family.

  2. cabextract is a tool to extract a .cab archive. just:

    sudo apt-get install cabextract

and extract it by:

Be aware that there is not a directory inside the cab, but just files, so you'll get a lot of hex files. It is good to mkdir a specific directory and extract the cab in there.

  1. How to get the right hex file.

So I have the id of the chip: 0a5c:21d7 and a bunch of the hex file. How can I get the right one for me?The trick is to investigate the .inf file that instructs windows what to install.Searching for 21D7 (note the capital D instead of 'd') I get this:

%Dell1704.DeviceDesc%=RAMUSB21D7, USBVID_0A5C&PID_21D7 ; BRCM Generic 43142A0 RAMUSB

Ubuntu 14.04 Iso Download

The USB/VID&PID is what I get on lsusb: capital(0a5c:21d7).The RAMUSB21D7 is what I need to search next in the inf file (it is the device's description).

And this is my result:

Ubuntu 14.04 Download

And the hex file I shall use is BCM43142A0_001.001.011.0122.0126.hex

The rest is the same as above. Get the tool trough git, build it, convert the hex file to hcd, discard/reload the btusb.

Note: Be aware the hcd file should start with fw-... and not fw_... I made this mistake. :)

I have solved the issue with the solution from this post:

In summary, I have done this steps:List your id:

My id is: 0a5c:21d7

Get the file .hex :In your windows partition (presuming that you dual boot with Windows), get the file BCMxxxx.hex in C:windowssystem32drivers.If there are two or more files .hex, view which one is in use with windows device manager.Copy this file in your home directory

Open terminal and type these commands:

Reload modules with these commands:

Restart your computer.

Open terminal and write:

if all right you can view the message:

This is all.

In my case the bluetooth firmware did not load until I created the brcm directory in /lib/firmware/ and renamed the file to

BCM43142A0-0a5c-21d7.hcd

I'm using Debian 8 & Dell Inspiron 15

Cheers

AlexAlex

Solution works (Ubuntu 14.04 kernel-4.2) In my case, HCD file needed to be named BCM.hcd.The exact file name you should name your hcd file will be stated in description of loading error, which can be viewed using command:

as Wilf stated above!
