So there is an issue with the latest bluez bluez-utils package causing bloothtooth.service not to start in case you haven’t seen it. I’m not having this issue on my laptop with the latest package but many are. I’m not sure if this is related to your issue either but you might as well try downgrading those packages to try it. The post is pinned on the main page.
Edit: Looks like bluez bluez utils just got updated. 
Thanks for the heads up on the bug report.
This is what it is building
broadcom-bt-firmware-git-12.0.1.1105_p3.r0.g68a7a8a-1
bluez is not installed, so are you suggesting I git clone bluez 5.63?
If so, how do I do this? Sorry for my ignorance but git clone from the AUR is my limit.
Michael
You’re running Gnome, right? bluez is a dependency of gnome-bluetooth, which is a dependency of gnome-control-center, which is a dependency of the Gnome group, so I’m surprised that you don’t have it installed.
I don’t use Gnome, but I would think you would want to install the gnome-bluetooth package, which should pull in bluez. At the very least you should install bluez:
sudo pacman -S bluez
Then install the AUR package for the firmware you are trying to install; if you prefer to manually build it, that’s fine, but you could use yay instead:
yay -S broadcom-bt-firmware-git
By the way, the bluez package has been patched, so it should be working fine now. There is no more need to downgrade it. Just install it if it’s missing, and if it is already installed be sure your system is updated.

systemctl status bluetooth

Yep, Gnome 41
I reinstalled gnome-bluetooth and gnome-control-center to be sure.
I installed bluez and broadcom firmware without any errors.
Still can’t activate bluetooth in Gnome.
What am I missing?
Michael
Did you start and enable the bluetooth service?
systemctl enable --now bluetooth
Thank you. It works

Glad it’s working for you. I’m not that familiar with all the Gnome packages and the way Gnome works exactly with their set up. Everything is the same in the end it’s just the way to get there.
Edit: Thanks @Stagger_Lee
Thanks @ricklinux for your efforts. @Stagger_Lee nailed it, but what really shines is the EOS community.
Hopefully I will learn enough to be of help to others.
Michael
this is exactly looking like the current bug on bluez packaging… @Stagger_Lee mentioned…

It’s been patched as of yesterday, so it’s no longer a bug:
yes but the output of BT status I mentioned is exactly what the bug was causing
But thanks for the link I just update the post:

I installed pamac-aur-git just in case.
