I am using Kali NetHunter on a rooted Android device, and I'm encountering an issue with Bluetooth. Whenever I try to enable Bluetooth through the GUI or using the command line, it simply doesn't turn on. I can see the Bluetooth icon, but it stays stuck on "Turning on." It was working in the beginning, I could connect to headphone, I sent a video file from PC to tablet via Bluetooth.
service bluetooth status
>bluetooth is not running ... failed! Then I started
service bluetooth restart
>Stopping bluetooth: /usr/sbin/bluetoothd.\ >Starting bluetooth: bluetoothd. but this does not restart the Bluetooth. Right after start command, service Bluetooth status still says "Bluetooth is not running ... failed!" I already ran these commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez
sudo systemctl start bluetooth
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth
lsusb command shows this: >Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub\ >Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub It does not show anything about the Bluetooth adapter I also added kali-tools-bluetooth, but this did not help either.
