[BT problems] other WIDCOMM patch?

[purezerg]

i have a HP nx8220 lappie.
the BT drivers comes default at 4.0.1.600 (from the about window)

here is my noob qns.. what is the difference with 1.4.2.1/1.4.3.4 vs 4.0.1.600?

is there a need for me to "upgrade"? just by looking at the numbers seems like somewhat a downgrade... please enlighten me.

Hi there,

I want to change the BT drivers on my Vaio s4xp with SP2 preinstalled. By reading this thread, I see that there are different BT chips availiable. How do I determine which chip is in my Vaio?

Thanks

Daniel

The Sony Vaio S4XP has CSR chip and firmware version is 1168

This is my story: First of all my hardware is a Motorola H500 BT Headset, the dongle is a "Microsoft Wireless Transceiver for Bluetooth".

This is what i did:

1. Disabled the "original" windows prefered drivers for the dongle.
2. Extracted the install files for the Widcomm 3.0.1.912 setup.
3. Deleted the \svcpack\hp-t19a.dfu
4. Installed the software.
5. Booted in safemode copying the pathes that came along with this release (here from this forum).
6. Added my VID&PID to the btwusb.inf file.
7. Then I did "Update driver" on the "original" Windows-prefered (and by this time disabled BT Device) and chose my own device from the btwusb.inf file.
8. WOW EVERYTHING IS WORKING.... or is it?
9. When i search for nearby units it finds my Motorola H500 and it can communicate with it.
10. But when i chose "Connect" it connects, but not with the "Headset" alternative, but rather the "Audio Gateway".
11. This is very confusing to me, thus nothing is working, all I hear in my headset is a annoying sound (that i think is some sort of confirmation sound for a packet being sent or something because i can see that the sound comes every time that something is sent), I cannot use it as a headset, although i think it SHOULD work.
12. Sorry if this is an issue that has been handled before, I tried to look but found nothing.
13. Finally I just want to add that I have tried different versions of Widcomm drivers and software patches that goes with it, Billyx, I have tried yours, and I have tried later ones too, all works exactly like above..

Thanks for an answer.

After reading some of the post from this thread, I finally successfully updated the firmware of my CSR Bluetooth device (Casira chipset) shipped with my Acer Ferrari 3200 notebook from version 525 to 828.
Briefly:
[1] Download Widcomm Bluetooth Driver and Software 5.0.1.801 (the last version I found):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2RELBI65
[2] Download the Patch for this version (otherwise it will ask a license file and will not work without):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D3PNIH7P
[3] Download DFU Wizard 1.2 (firmware revision 828 included) (bc02x_4hci_bt1.1_16.14_encr56) (BT 1.1, 56-bit encryption) :
http://59.120.191.21/drivers/1.4.2.11-N/dfu.zip
[4] Uninstall any previous version of 'Widcomm Bluetooth Driver and Software'
[5] Rename the file bth.inf to bth.bak in c:\windows\inf (if you have XP SP2; it does not exist in XP SP1)
[6] Install [1] (Widcomm Bluetooth Driver and Software 5.0.1.801)
[7] Copy [2] (Patch files for Widcomm Bluetooth Driver and Software 5.0.1.801):
- reboot in Safe Mode
- copy the patch files btneighbourhood.dll & wbtapi.dll in c:\windows\system32 - (accept replacing existing ones).
- copy the patch files bttray.exe & btstackserver.exe in c:\program files\widcomm\bluetooth software - (accept replacing existing ones).
- reboot
[8] Unzip and Install [3] (DFU Wizard 1.2) (in FirmwareUpgrade1614\Software\)
[9] I followed the steps described in FirmwareUpgrade1614\UserGuide\DFU Wizard User Guide.pdf but it didn't worked for me, so I updated the drivers in Device Manager for CSR USB Bluetooth Device with the ones found in FirmwareUpgrade1614\Driver\USB\:
[10] Run BlueCore Device Firmware Upgrade Wizard installed at point [8]
[11] Accept the installation of new hardware (for passing the device in DFU mode)
[12] When it complained that "Either the BlueCore module or device driver doesn't support upload of the existing firmware. Would you like to continue with the download anyway?" I answered YES (actually this was an accident: I hoped that it will not update the firmware directly but first it will save the old firmware and after it will ask again if I really want to upgrade with the new one - when I thought to answer NOT - and to follow the advices that billyx gave on this site http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/show...&postcount=138
So I accidentally accepted the upgrade even if the firmware, apparentely wasn't for my device and I get a succesfully upgrade message at the end...
[13] After this, I uninstalled Widcomm Bluetooth Driver and Software 5.0.1.801 and reinstalled it like I did at [6] and [7], and verified and updated in Device Manager the driver for CSR USB Bluetooth device with version 5.0.1.801 (I don't know from what strange reason it kept installed the old version).
That's All Folks !

hi guys. newb to the site here. i bought a issc dongle off ebay. i've been reading and have managed to get wincomm installed and patched. ive installed the updated btwusb.inf file. i get the blue/white bluetooth icon in my system tray and wincomm seems to be working fine. however, wincomm say that it can not detect my dongle. in device manager it says the dongle is installed and working properly. any advice, perhaps i missed a step.

thanks in advance

[edit]- to add to the confusion, i just went to the bluetooth setup wizard, and selected "i want to find a specific device and configure how this computer will use its service" and it found my imate jam. yet it still says "bluetooth device not detected" in the hardware tab in the configuration wizard. i hope someone can help cause im about to throw this dongle out in the road and power brake on it.

Hi,

I just bought a nokia bluetooth headset (HDW-3).
I have hooked it to my laptop via a bluetooth dongle.
Unfortunately, I am not able to figure out how to make it work as a regular
headset so I can use to do Voice Over Ip (with skype for instance) or to
just listen for some regular music.
I already went in the the "audio" tab of the "sound and multimedia
properties" of my computer and selected the "Bluetooth audio" as my prefered
"sound play back" device. Unfortunately, it does seem to work. Only the
microphone seems to be recognized but not the playback capabilities (i.e.
the speaker of the bluetooth headset). Am I missinh something..?
Any help or pointer to a good website would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

[complacency]

can some1 please post a working link to DFU.zip please (link in above posts doesn't work for me)?
I have a D-Link DBT-120 B3, firmware 443, and would like to upgrade. Thanks for your help.

Hi Guys,

I need some help, I have a silicon wave bluetooth, wifi combo card in my laptop, it worked fine but now the range is really bad and the transmission is intermittent and I have to put the device next to one another to get signal for like 10 seconds, I am hoping a firmware upgrade will fix it but so far I only came across upgrades for CSR chips.

will a CSR firmware work with my silicon wave chip?

Thanks in advance

[sparx]
