    Using the internal Nexus 6 bluetooth device for btscanner, is it possible?

    I've have been trying to install/run bluetooth for a few days now and I just can't get it to work. I have done research but without success. It seems like there is no info about how to properly install bluetooth on your kali nethunter.

    Things I installed sucessfully:

    root@kali:~# aptitude install bluetooth
    root@kali:~# apt-get install blueman (No idea why I downloaded this, at that point I was out of ideas)

    My current problems:

    After entering "bluetoothd" I get the following error, "D-Bus setup failed: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory"
    -
    root@kali:/usr/share/doc/bluez/examples# /etc/init.d/bluetooth status
    [FAIL] bluetooth is not running ... failed!
    -
    hcitool dev (there is no bluetooth device displayed)
    -
    root@kali: hciconfig scan
    Can't get device info: No such device
    -
    When typing "hciconfig" nothing is displayed.
    --

    However this does work:

    root@kali:/usr/share/doc/bluez/examples# /etc/init.d/bluetooth start
    [ ok ] Starting bluetooth: bluetoothd rfcomm.
    --

    I also installed the full kali nethunter on my device, and updated everything.

    Perhaps it isn't even possible to use my internal bluetooth adapter instead of an external one. I'm running nethunter 2.0 on a Nexus 6.

    All help is appreciated.

    # cp btusb.ko.gz btusb.ko.gz.orig

    # gunzip ath3k.ko.gz

    # gunzip btusb.ko.gz

    # sed -e 's/\xf3\x0c\x05\x30/\xf3\x0c\x05\xe0/g' ath3k.ko > at.ko

    # sed -e 's/\xf3\x0c\x05\x30/\xf3\x0c\x05\xe0/g' btusb.ko > bt.ko

    # mv at.ko ath3k.ko

    # mv bt.ko btusb.ko
