So I can't connect my phone to the car bluetooth connection in my car. It's ONLY a custom ROM problem. If I use FreedomOS or stock it works fine. I have changed to literally every firmware in existence, still no fix. I can connect to some devices, but I also have problems with Android Wear.
This is a big deal as I bought this phone for a custom ROM. Anybody know what's the fix?
I have read more threads about this, but nobody ever seems to have an answer that isn't "flash xyz firmware ZIP in TWRP" which I've already tried. Please, anybody willing to help, please do!
So you can't pair your phone i assume?. If so I had the same problem.
It was a real issue in earlier aosp roms but now alls I do is clean flash the rom, set up and connect my BT and then if using a theme it goes on last!!!!.
No, it pairs fine, but then never connects as a phone. Only media works. I never dirty flash roms, so that's not the issue at all.
I will try this, then report back. Haven't tried this yet.
Which option in the toolkit should I use? There seems to be no options to revert stock specifically. You mean the OP3 Unified Toolkit, or is there specifically a "unbrick tool"?
Tried it. Not fixed. Used 4.1.3 zip after the reflash of stock using the Qualcomm tool. Should I try a 6.0.1 zip like 3.2.8 OOS or something?
I have built several custom ROMs with a BT fix that gets rid of the "no phone" issue. This sounds like the same issue I had so this should work.

Bluetooth problem - need help
Here is my situation. I have a EVO 4G Rooted with rooted 3.29.651.5.
My phone's bluetooth paired perfectly with my car for several months.
Then I installed Vlingo and my bluetooth stopped working with my car. I uninstalled Vlingo and the bluetooth worked only sporadically. Since then I have tried almost everything I can and have searched for weeks to get this to work.
I have tried:
* complete wipe and reinstall of ota rooted rom
* reinstalled Vlingo tested, then unistalled again
* deleted and then restored backups of BrcmBlueToothServices 1.0 and Bluetooth Share 2.2
* deleted BrcmBlueToothServices 1.0 and Bluetooth Share 2.2 then flashed rooted ota rom to get clean copies back again (I hope)
* Unpaired my Evo from my car then paired them again.
* Upgraded to rooted 3.30.651.2n.
* Flashed a new King's Kernel #11 (2.6.32.24-king-hav-OcUv)
I know it is not my car as my wife as the same phone I have. I rooted it and except for the recent kernel change on my phone the only real difference is that I never put Vlingo on her phone. I can pair her phone perfectly with my car and it works great just like mine did before Vlingo.
I'm not an expert, my learning curve was huge to get to root and I have done a lot of reading to try to figure this out.
ANY help would be appreciated! I need my phone to work with my car as I'm on the phone a lot.
The kernels will break bluetooth on the CM builds.
The CM framework has been redone and there are few compatable kernels. Yes kings kernel will work, but not everything. Currently, there is no custom kernel (beside the stock CM kernel in each build) that will work and keep bluetooth working on CM roms

Thanks You very much for your response. Since my technical level is a little limited let me see if I understand. You are saying that my rooted stock ROM is a Cyanogen Mod Build. That ROMS made using this with stock kernels should work with Bluetooth, but if you use a custom kernel there could be a problem.
If this a correct understanding, the only problem is that I was using the stock kernel that came with the ROM and it was working fine for weeks. Then I installed Vlingo and the problem arose. I then unistalled Vlingo and the problem still persisted. Days later I then switched kernels in an attempt to fix the problem. I have the same problem regardless of which kernel I use.
Do you have a suggestion for a solution? Again, thank you.

i have the same problem did everything mentioned above, rooted my wife evo and mine my Bluetooth doesn't work on mine hers does, maybe the devs could make a backup flashable zip for Bluetooth and htc syn that would be great
Using rooted file manager, I can get to the bluetooth.apk and BrcmBluetoothServices.apk files. When I click on either one of them I get a message that asks:
"Replace Application
This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?
All previous user data will be saved."
Question, If I say "OK" what does it replace with? Maybe replacing these two files will change things for me so I can get my BLuetooth function back again.
Any comments?
Nothing I have done has gotten my bluetooth function back again. I'm desperate. Anyone have any ideas. What is frustrating is that my wife's Evo will work just fine in my car, but mine has not ever since I tried Vlingo.
There must be a way to reinstall bluetooth without having to do a factory reset and start all over again. (And I'm not sure that would do it anyway.)
Anyone with suggestions?
Update: I just flashed the updated stock ROM (New_RUU_Supersonic_3.30.651.3_Deodexed_signed - http://www.4shared.com/file/yLaxLUnJ...RUU_Super.html) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836728.
"So Far - So Good" as my bluetooth suddenly worked again. I have flashed the previous stock 3.30.651.2 ROM and nothing changed. This also comes with a updates stock kernel. So who knows, may be this update fixed the problem. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
BTW, I forgot to wipe anything when I did this update. All good so far.
Later: It works better but not consistent. I still have problems where after a phone call I have to turn the bluetooth off, then on again to make or receive additional phone calls.
I think i fixed my bluetooth !!!!!!
I THINK I FIXED IT !!!!!!
Wow after over 2 months of searching, learning, and trying everything I could think of (other than unrooting and going stock) I stumbled upon what seems to be a solution.
Here is what I did:
Using ASTRO file manager I opened up the "system" folder then opened the "app" folder. From there I scrolled down to the "BrcmBluetoothServices" file and long clicked it until the "File Options" appeared. Then I selected "Edit" and on the next pop-up I selected "Delete". (I was desperate and was going to delete it and reinstall from scratch).
When I selected Delete, a confirmation box appeared that said something that caught my eye like, "Are you sure you want to delete the update as this will return the file to stock?" (or something like that). WOW, when I heard delete the update I figured that Vlingo may have updated this file causing the problems. So I said yes. The update was deleted.
The BrcmBluetoothServices file remained but evidently it reverted to its original stock format. I noticed that my Evo no longer showed a pairing with my car. So I went to my car and deleted that pairing as well and then re-paired my car and phone.
Success! I have been using it for a day and so far so good. My Evo instantly connects with my car when I turn the car on, and I can make and receive phone calls normally. It has only been one day, but it looks good so far!!!
This did fix the problem. Working now for 2 weeks.
Hello,
My apologies if this was answered before. I was on the stock ROM until a few months ago, but every ROM I tried had flaws that was difficult to deal with in a productive manner. My phone is on the T-Mobile Network.
I am going to post my procedure and my issues, in case I am missing a step.
1. Rooted Phone and installed TWRP via FreeGee
2. From TWRP recovery, I wipe the data from the SD Card partition and paste the ROMs there.
3. Then I wipe the system, cache, etc.
4. Install Custom ROM
5. Install GAPPS
6. Wipe Cache
7. Reboot
Issues:
1. One common issue I am experiencing as that no matter what ROM I use (CyanogenMod / BLISSPOP / SlimLP), I have to install the following patch or else no audio can be heard on either side of the call.
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-g-pro/general/news-cm-12-e980-lte-phone-t3063079
2. Is there anything that brings back the IR functionality of the phone on a custom ROM? I know many people might not use it, but I used it extensively and miss it lol.
3. Bluetooth doesn't seem to work correctly with Voice Assist.
- I am using the Plantronics Voyager Edge
-- Calls works with no issue
-- The headset works on Apple Devices with no issue.
- However, on my e980 whenever I activate voice assist.. My phone changes to the google voice screen where it is waiting for input but it never hears what I am saying. The dots that usually move as you do not move like it is not taking any audio from me. (I enabled the setting to allow recording from BT devices).
Just got called for work, so not wording everything this the way I initially wanted to. My main concern is #1 issue, no one ever talks about needing that file in the ROM instructions so I am not sure what I am missing. I had some other issues like the black screen of death, but that was resolved by the SlimLP ROM.
I am not sure if the call audio or bluetooth issue sare related to the radio firmware.... which I seen people mention upgrading the radio firmware but not many instructions on how to find and install the right one.
Thank you for your time and any provided information.

1. That one is because of TMobile, every E980 ROM I know about has same issue... Can't do much, because I'm not sure if including the tmob. fix won't break device for others.
2. Only KK ROMs, I'm trying to port LP QRemote but no luck so far...
3. Havey you tried latest Bliss & Slim builds? Bluetooth quirks and bugs should be gone or minimal now.

Thanks for the reply and for letting me know the reason for the issue is TMobile. It would explain why the issue is not spread further lol. I tried bliss and am running the latest Slim build but my bluetooth headset still can not send commands to android voice a assist. It works flawlessly on apple devices though lol.
Do you know if I should be flashing the firmware for my bluetooth or lte radio?

Welcome to AOSP, where bluetooth is mostly broken on unpopular and older devices. I've tried updating bluetooth drivers and that brought nothing but troubles; I'm using patched up bluetooth repo for Slim ATM, it should fix most of the problems... That thing is shady... Will see what can be done.
I have searched all over and couldn't find any answers, so hopefully this isn't a repeat thread.
I just purchased the HTC desire 816 and upgraded to it. I activated it, and set everything up, Saturday. Sunday after trying to load xposed onto it, it froze on the boot screen.
I managed to restore it from fastboot, and got it updated to lollipop.
Now for the problem, and what I have tried:
The phone will not see bluetooth devices at all.
First I tried simply a factory reset, which allowed it to see my smart watch and start to connect to it. Part way through the setup of my watch, it lost it's connection.
Next I tried a wipe and restore to full stock, this did not allow me to see any bluetooth devices.
Then I tried rooting, cwm, and putting kitkat back on the phone. I still couldn't see bluetooth, and now I am trying to upgrade back to lollipop.
I am at a loss as to what may be the problem, but I need it to work with bluetooth.
I have tested it with both my LG G smartwatch, and a gemline bluetooth speaker.
OK, so a little update here. I did a full stock & root flash last night.
The wifi began working, and Bluetooth was connected to my smartwatch.
This morning, wifi is still working and bluetooth can't see any devices.
On a side note, I am trying to figure out what version of xposed to install on my phone.

If you're on 5.0 lollipop then 21. If you're on CM 12.1 (5.1) then 22. I have this same device and carrier and haven't had any issues like you're describing other than a few Bluetooth dropouts every once in a while. Good luck.

I went back to full stock, and relocked the bootloader, because HTC said that it was an issue with the bootloader being unlocked. I doubted them, and it turns out I was right to doubt. The issue isn't fixed, and I seem to have narrowed it down to the searching function. My HTC can't see any discoverable items.
I have a gemline speaker, which has NFC to pair Bluetooth built-in, and my phone is unable to see it when I try to use NFC enabled pairing.
I am suspicious that somewhere along the lines the bluetooth files became corrupted in system. I have been trying to find a way to put the original ones back on, but haven't been able to find a way. I really want to get this working, and remove root.
Why do I not want root, because my kids enjoy pokemon go and it won't run on root anymore.

Yeah, that's a load of crap so you were right to question that. My bootloader stays unlocked and I don't have any Bluetooth issues other than the ones noted for running CM custom roms and the headset dropouts. I have 3 different Bluetooth devices linked to my phone and no issues pairing any others either.

You could find and flash back your stock recovery and then find either the stock RUU file or the stock Rom.zip file and flash back to stock. I understand about root. It's getting to the point my next device will probably stay stock but I'm having my fun now.

I did this once already, I am thinking that my next step will be to manually copy the bluetooth related files from the system image into system using root
then flash unsupersu.zip
So I hav replace every bluetooth related file I can think of, and even deleted some file suggested online, and my phone still doesn't see other devices. When I put my phone on my NFc enabled speaker it acts like it is going to pair, but then says "unable to pair gemline speaker".
I am beginning to become frustrated.
I've been having ongoing problems with my GPS for awhile now. At first I thought it was due to a problem with the Lineage OS ROM. Now, having gone back to various stock ROMs, I've found that it's occurring with them as well.
The problem is this: the GPS works great the first 24 hours or so after a boot. After that, the GPS seems to die, showing no satellites in GPS Test or similar apps. HOWEVER, after a reboot, it works great again. Given that it works great after a fresh boot, I'm inclined to think this is a software problem, not hardware - and I'd like to hear from you as to whether you agree with this thinking.
If it is a software issue, the question is what else I can try other than what I've already done (flashing stock and other ROMs). Maybe there's some software that isn't being wiped/overwritten when flashing these stock ROMs with Odin? I tried using KIES, but it doesn't allow me to initialize the device (I'm assuming because Knox shows I've already installed a custom ROM onto it at some point).
Any wisdom appreciated - even if it's just a suggestion of where else to ask about this!
At this point, I'm assuming I did something with my phone. I've easily tried twenty combinations between different ROMs and gapps packages. I used TWRP, and didn't make a backup because I'm dumb.
None of my installations (if I can get past Google crash notifications) have usable wifi, and on one occasion, the flashlight wouldn't work. Bluetooth is able to be turned on, but I haven't tried connecting anything.
Any advice? I've been trying the whole process on Mac. My Windows machine isn't even recognizing the drivers I've downloaded. At this point, I'd settle for the stock ROM again.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Sorry for the late reply. Sounds like a persist partition issue. Flash stock ROM .
Hi!
Following up on that - had the same, flashed different Pie roms and none would have functioning wifi. And yes, i did flash stock rom via Emma few times.
Any ideas?
Maybe there is something in flashing process? I had other phones (HTC, Samsung) and flashing them was never a problem....
Additionally - tried hard to get xposed to work via Magisk, but all i got was bootloop. Any advice how to get Xposed to work ? I have XA2.
Thanks!

Flash latest rom via xflasher and everything working fine
Well, i have no problem with flashing factory ROM. I had problems with custom ROMs.
Anyway - managed to get it. I guess it has to do with dual boot partition, so that one should restart via recovery, and only then restart system.. Or something like that
I had the same problem after flashing custom ROMs. It seems that you have to enable Wi-Fi in stock rom before flashing any customs.
