Cannot get bluetooth to work on Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro

Dale Huggins

Greetings community,

I’ve successfully installed on a Lenovo Yoga Pro 3, and everything works fantastic except bluetooth. I’ve tried miscellaneous things found through google searches, such as hex2hcd and copying the resulting file to /lib/firmware/brcm. Nothing seems to work. The result of dmesg | grep -i blue:

[[email protected] brcm]# dmesg | grep -i blue

Attached are logs. This is my first time posting; just trying to follow the sticky and upload relevant logs. Thanks guys! I hope this can get sorted out.

File was too large, didn’t catch that the first time… .[logs.tar](uploading 100%)

Your driver is not loading the firmware:

[ 4.521469] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM20702A1-0489-e07a.hcd failed with error -2
[ 4.521473] Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Patch brcm/BCM20702A1-0489-e07a.hcd not found

Have you followed this? http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/189790/how-can-i-get-the-bluetooth-working-on-my-lenovo-yoga-3

just

@Dale-Huggins Also, check the bluetooth.service status. With the command

systemctl -l status bluetooth

For Bluetooth to work, the service must be:

loaded
enabled
active
runnung

Like in this example:

$ systemctl -l status bluetooth
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Fri 2015-09-11 05:01:24 MSK; 9min ago
     Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)
 Main PID: 366 (bluetoothd)
   Status: "Running"
   CGroup: /system.slice/bluetooth.service
           └─366 /usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd
