I have recently upgraded my system from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04. After the upgrade my Bluetooth driver stopped working. Earlier I had made it working in 18.04 following the post RT3290 Ralink driver in Ubuntu. But the same solution is not helping me with 20.04.

I executed the suggested commands and initially it appeared helping by providing a value for hci0

$ sudo modprobe rtbth
$ sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth
$ hcitool dev # check
Devices:
    hci0    9C:D2:1E:2A:56:04

But It is not able to find any Bluetooth device from GUI. So I tried the commands from terminal.

$ hcitool scan
Scanning ...

This scanning never ends and does not even find any device while I had enabled my Bluetooth speakers waiting for connection. The same happens for my other Bluetooth devices also.

When I tried the bluetoothctl tool:

$ bluetoothctl
Agent registered
[bluetooth]# agent on
Agent is already registered
[bluetooth]# scan on
[bluetooth]# 

Scan on command does not do any thing and returns control to the [bluetooth]# prompt.
