I have been trying to connect my headphones or my phone to the computer but it always get stuck on Searching for devices... I have tried to apply this thread solution but the second file is unavailable and looks like there is no other backup file on the internet. My outputs are:

sudo service bluetooth status:

Try `cd /lib/firmware/brcm && sudo wget https://github.com/winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware/raw/master/brcm/BCM20702A1-413c-8143.hcd` then reboot

Thanks @Jeremy31, for the first answer, it now finds the device but still can´t connect, it disconnects immediately. For the second answer, I cant convert the file, it returns an empty file

@Jeremy31 now its workiiiiiing!!! On the second answer they shared a github repo that has the converted file, with the file, I followed all the steps that the original answer says. However, this didnt work, but after searching on internet, they mention change `ControllerMode` to `bredr` in `/etc/bluetooth/main.conf` and reboot, and it worked! If you want, write this as answer to give you the points. TYSM

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
