Bluetooth not detecting devices with ubuntu 16.04

Question

Sorry to ask a repetitive question. I read and tried multiple solutions posted in last 3 to 4 hours but couldn't succeed. Bluetooth ON and visibility ON but neither detect any device nor visible to other devices.

I 'm not good with Ubuntu, not even know that what exactly following commands do , can someone point me towards right direction

isn't it different — Muhammad Faisal Iqbal, Jul 03 '17 at 19:47
I tried using wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/r6q9zt59darq80n/BCM43142A0-0a5c-216c.hcd sudo cp BCM43142A0-0a5c-216c.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM43142A0-0a5c-216c.hcd sudo modprobe -r btusb sudo modprobe btusb
it removed the bcm.hcd error but didn't work — Muhammad Faisal Iqbal, Jul 03 '17 at 19:50
Why do you try that file? You have a different device. I gave a link to an answer describing how to get the firmware. — Pilot6, Jul 03 '17 at 19:51
I Tried that soln hours ago If I try your link, will it work now? — Muhammad Faisal Iqbal, Jul 03 '17 at 19:52
You still don't have /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM.hcd according to the log. So you did something wrong. — Pilot6, Jul 03 '17 at 19:53
