Im wondering if anyone can help me? I am trying to update the firmware on my Acer 5685 bluetooth module (BCM92045NMD) using windows Vista to work with my motorolla BT Stereo headset but when i try to update it i get an error. I have tried changing the pid etc with the hex editor but still no luck.

Also, how to i check the firmware version of my bluetooth module?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here's another "I have such and such BT device and I'm clueless" post...

This one is the one that comes with the Samsung Q35 laptop.

Surprisingly enough I can use "btwinitialupdate" with it, which is good news.

Bad news is the firmware is archaic to say the least.

I think I've understood the procedure to modify the Anycom firmware, but I don't have a clue whether this dongle is Class I or II.

Google hasn't been very helpful so far. It seems Samsung can't be bothered to share this info either.

Any way to determine which class this device is?

I've Hex compared the firmwares of the Anycom 200 and 250 with the Dell 355 and the firmware of my dongle searching for the magic clue... but failed. Miserably.

Hallo G0tHm0G
You have class 2 internal bluetooth module
did you open you notebook and take a look at the BT module?
there will be FCC ID, try this site to find out what it is
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/

here is the sample pictures of Dell BT module

Has anybody managed to flash either of these devices, the F8T012 is the class 1 and the F8T013 class 2?

I am also interested in ways to update the firmware for the F8T012. I'd appreciate if you could let me know if you hear of any updated firmware, or of anybody that managed to update it. I'm not really in the mood, nor do I have the time, to hack Anycom firmwares or for all that hex editing stuff...

Unfortunately the BT dongle in this laptop is hidden away *** knows where. Is not like the Dell laptops, where is easy to spot.

In fact this is one of the most unfriendly designs I've seen on a laptop, second only to Apple. To remove the keyboard assembly there's like a million of flimsy latches. You really need skill and steady pulse not to break everything in the process.

Anyway, over the weekend I will dismantle it, find the BT dongle, and check the FCC ID as suggested. I don't want to make an irreversible mistake.

[G0tHm0G]

Ok, so instead of taking the whole thing apart, I take my chances and flash it with the Class II firmware.

I need to make plenty more tests, but so far it pairs with my desktop and my mobile phones, and as far as I can see it "plays nice" with the integrated WiFi NIC (Intel 3945ABG).

No funny FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF addresses either.

Thank you very much for sharing the information.

By the way, don't know if this is old news, but my Widcomm version is 5.1.0.4200

[G0tHm0G]

Well, in the end I dismantled the laptop.

Curiosity is terrible you know?

Would you share with all of us where you get this version of WIDCOMM?

TIA

Directly from Broadcom using "btinitialupdate".

[G0tHm0G]

Hmmm...

Another question sprang in my mind.

I have a Logitech dongle lying around. If I flash it with the Anycom firmware I assume it will become a normal dongle and lose the HID <> HCI switching hability, correct?

plz i need help my device have this information
BCM92045DG chip non-UHE
VID/PID= OA5C/2101
classII
I fallow the steps in post #15 and install anycom-bluetooth-usb200-250-windows-v5-1-0-3900 and use the firmware from post #13 v0A5C_p2111_BCM2045B1_002.001.128_Tecom_0251.zip

and now it shows ANYCOM Blue USB_UHE 200/250 VID/PID 0A5C/2111
but the try icon still in red and on double click say no bluetooth device found
even BtDfuWizardP or BTFlasher can see it so cannot test any other firmware



any idea?

with regards

This looks like the same chipset (and VID/PID) as my IOGEAR, only I have class I. None of the Anycom firmwares will work on it. I hate to say it, but unless you found a way to save your old firmware before you flashed it, you won't be getting it back.
I had an external dongle and decided to take a risk of reflashing it (losing $20).
