Bluetooth not working on Asus X555LN (14.10)

Question

I need help with my notebook Asus X555LN, the bluetooth adapter doesn't seem to exist to Ubuntu. On Windows it works fine, but on Ubuntu 14.10 it doesn't. I've istalled blueman and still my bluetooth doesn't work.

Here is the result from lsusb

lsusb | grep Bluetooth doesn't show an output. dmesg | grep -i blue outputs this

Your device isn't supported yet in the Ubuntu kernel, but that isn't a problem

wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/xbmm9vfg2fby2zn/fw-04ca_2006.hcd
sudo cp fw-04ca_2006.hcd /lib/firmware
sudo cp fw-04ca_2006.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM43142A0-04ca-2006.hcd

wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/dnlvxmw5l7mwn2d/bluetooth.tar.gz
tar -zxvf bluetooth.tar.gz
cd bluetooth
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential
cp /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/Module.symvers Module.symvers
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config
make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$PWD modules
sudo modprobe -r btusb
sudo cp btusb.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/
sudo modprobe btusb

You might have to reboot and it should work for the current kernel. If you do updates and your bluetooth quits working again after a reboot, you may have updated the kernel, then do the following

cd ~/bluetooth
make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$PWD clean
cp /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/Module.symvers Module.symvers
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config
make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=$PWD modules
sudo modprobe -r btusb
sudo cp btusb.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/bluetooth/
sudo modprobe btusb

EDIT: Since it appears there might be an issue with xhci

echo "blacklist btusb | sudo tee /etc/modprobe./btusb.conf

gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local

Then add two lines above exit 0 so the last three lines are

sleep 40
modprobe btusb
exit 0

save, exit and reboot
