And if you see EXT excellent but if you see ROM you are no go
Yes i had enabled my device with 'hciconfig hci0 up' . The device is enabled fine. Following is the output of the device using 'hciconfig -s hci0'
bt ~ # hciconfig -a hci0

As you can tell by the output this bluetooth dongle is supported as spoken of on these forums and is one that works.
So, I do not have the firmware/software because I do not want to spend thousands of dollars just like everyone else, but i would like to perform scans on my own devices for educations purposes obviously. What can I do with Backtrack 3 and my current DBT-120 bluetooth dongle with factory settings to connect or scan my mobile device?
Can anyone point me to any documentation on this or provide more intel as to how I can or why i can not see any results when I issue the command 'hcitool scan hci0' ?
I appreciate all the help and responses.

I like the bleeding edge, but I don't like blood loss
here is the output when the command you mention

That device can be flashed, but doing so is illegal.Originally Posted by akegameesou

What do i flash it with, can you point me to documentation online or provide me with firmware to flash?
Can i not just use it as is without flashing?
Do you have any Idea why I can not use the command 'hcitool san hci0' to list my bluetooth phone in the output.
all your help is appreciated.

What are trying to do? If you want a bluetooth sniffer you will need to flash the device with a special firmware that allows sniffing. Doing this without purchasing the firmware is illegal. I don't think anyone on this site will provide you with the firmware as that too is illegal. If memory serves you need two devices. One to sniff, one to scan.
Yes you can use the device without flashing it. It should work fine to connect your phone or pda to PC/laptop.
I don't know why your command isn't working. Perhaps bluetooth is disabled on the phone or setup not to be found??
I am not a bluetooth expert, in fact I don't own any bluetooth equipment.

Need help
i'll did everything and when i write
hcitool scan hci0
"Device is not available: Nosuch device"
what i did wrong ?
From what I can make out, al bluetooth hacks still need you to be paired with the victim?
Just a shot in the dark are you using VMware? If you are you can try connecting it to the VM and then try configing it i got that same error until irealized it was still connected to my host and not the guest i felt so stupid lmao that was just a thought so forgive me in advance if i have insulted your intelligence.
Hello all,
I have an Iogear gbu421 I was wondering if there is a way to flash it? Ive searched with no success thank you for your help
