[Q] i9100G: Bluetooth not working, need help troubleshooting and solving - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Up until recently, my i9100g was sporting an official ICS rom (can't remember which exact version) which was working allright, but a couple of weeks ago BT decided to stop working. When trying to activate it from the settings window, the "activating Bluetooth" message would remain onscreen while nothing happened (including trying to manually switch it to OFF) until I went back one screen, at which point the BT indicator was now indicating "OFF" by itself.
Given that I do not use it as often, I let it slide. However, after hearing of the first stable CM10 for the i9100 being released, I decided to try it, and see if it could solve this issue as an aside. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I tried the stock CM10 kernel, and the latest HorsePower and TWR kernels, to no avail. Here's my phone data:
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband: I9100GXXLPV
Kernel: 3.0.36-myjb-g7e43375aidfarh
CM version: 10.0.0-i9100G (compiled Nov 13 06:11:47)
What would you suggest me to try next?

Anyone?

Try re-flashing a i9100G modem.
Use search for modems.

AFAIK, I9100 Modems do not wrk on i9100G ma8
Also Modem has nothing to do with @OP's bluetooth issue.

I meant -G, Just a typo (now edited)
Also, how do you know it has nothing to do with his issue?? The modem is for all radio signals like wifi, mobile network/data and Bluetooth. On many occasions bad/non-existent signals can be fixed by updating or refreshing modem so its worth a try.

I tried both the ZCLP7 and the DDLP5 ones (the latter with a matching RIL fetched by GetRil) codeworkx linked to in the official CM10 thread and none of them worked. I also tried to find the BVLP7 recommended here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
But could not find it anywhere, and I get the feeling it's for the vanilla i9100 anyway.

Hes in the wrong forum anyhow.Theres getting too much crap getting created in this forum nowadays,what with that and every 3rd topic about the LSJ JB rom when theres a Q&A thread about that.

---

Who, me? How do you figure? This is not even about ROMs or kernels, it's about a Bluetooth issue, and the only i9100G-specific forum is off-limits to me, at least for now. And before you recommend the newbie thread, it has been a great help on previous issues, but they have not been able to help me on this particular issue.

---

Maybe do a logcat just before you turn on Bluetooth. Maybe we could see what the errors are in there.

It means there is a different forum for the super,smashing,great G model.
Same as if he had an htc or sony....different phone=different forum.

Once again, the i9100G-specific forum is for development matters only, and I cannot post there.
I will try getting a logcat later in the day and post it here, *boy*racer*.
