Bluetooth not working at all after I made some changes to pair with PS3 joystick

Solution 1:

TL;DR: Turn off, remove power supply, get a coffee and reboot.

I had a similar problem where my GF plugged her phone into the USB cable that I have plugged into my PC for data transfers. All of the sudden my BT headset stopped working and all bluetooth activity was stopped. I searched through the kernel log and found similar logs as you

Then I found this post which told me to just not reboot but turn off, disconnect power, let the condensators clear out and then reconnect. Did that, and boom:

I am running a

07:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 6b)

device to be Hackintosh compatible but actually switched to Debian all the way.

Solution 2:

I had exactly same issue. Then, I did kernel update and old kernel grub boot and on...everything. all didn't work.

But pascalwhoop answer is perfectly working.

Just turn off by

sudo shutdown -h now

and unplug all the cable like power, Monitor HDMI, USB, UTP Cat5.e everything. And Plug it and boot your system.

And it works now fantastically.

I made answer here due to comment is not allowed with lack of SOF reputation :)
