Help ZTE Merit. Bluetooth will not turn on after ROOT

Was hoping someone might know a fix for my problem. Ever since I rooted my phone. The bluetooth will not turn on. It hangs for a minute or so and then remains off... Any clues. Thanks in advance.
 
Chad, what did you delete as far as system apps?
Freezing with TiBU will do the same as removing the app, but you don't get the space it uses.
 
Sorry you are having a similar problem. I have sound, wi-fi, etc. Just not able to turn on blue tooth. It hangs in "turning on" grey mode for about a minute then nothing... Just been living without my stereo headphones. Not the worst problem, but would be nice to figure it out.

I was reading on another forum where some guys seemed to have the same problem as mine and they solved it by typing in codes and deleting lines etc. I had no clue where to begin or how to decipher what they were talking about. I rooted my phone through adb and have the eafile explorer, but still am lost....
 
Rooting the phone can't be the reason. I rooted my friends phone and his bluetooth works fine. I think it may have something to do with an interfering ap though. I read in another forum that some think their issue has something to do with the bank of america ap. This is a 3 day weekend for me and I hope to try and research this further. I wonder if I tried to send his bluetooth apk files and/or odex files to my phone and replaced mine with his might work. When I read what others have written about "deleting lines" and adding permissions here or there are so on, what they llreferring to? Are they using a file explorer, or are they in the command prompt and making the changes there? I am really in educated about tinkering with phones, but am learning alot. On a side note, my phone will no longer boot into recovery... nice, huh?
 
I haven't had the problem of it not turning on but found that if you delete the music App that looks like a record it will break the dailer when Bluetooth is on.
