I wonder if it's possible to rewrite and reflash the firmware of the CSR Clones. They could be an interesting thing for a common open-source firmware. The device is awful, but it's extremely common and cheap.

Chinese manufacturers produce identical looking Bluetooth dongles with different chips. They use new chips over time. So you can't have one firmware to fix them all.

Ah, that's unfortunate.
