Broadcom BCM43242A0 Bluetooth adapter not detected in Ubuntu 18.04

18.04 broadcom bluetooth

Solution 1:

Steps to fix:

  1. Go to repo winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware and download file BCM43142A0-0a5c-216c.hcd (according your Bluetooth chipset).
  2. Move that file to /lib/firmware/brcm (if not working: rename file to BCM.hcd)
  3. Turn off and turn on pc

P.S. This can work for other broadcom adapters as well, only need to get correct .hcd file: grep Bluetooth Device and ID with command lsusb | grep Bluetooth.

Edited This Bluetooth issue solution working for Ubuntu 20.04 as well.
