I found another problem. The solution above work for me only with the PCA10001 but not for the dongle PCA10001.

I found the solution in the software and firmware version. Used the version 10.0.1 (windows version) and firmware ble-sniffer_nRF51822_1.0.1_1111_Sniffer.hex

Found the solution on mbed:

developer.mbed.org/.../

Well!!!! Updating my above comment...

Again still not finding the dongle and keep asking me if the sniffer is running already. I am using Windows 8.1 and noticed that the ble-sniffer_win_1.0.1_1111_Sniffer.exe is a 32 bits. Can load the dongle firmware and can see the dongle on the com port as JLINK CDC UART.

If some one has any clues?!

You're both right. I missed that page on the setup guide. Thanks!

I think Wilhelmsen may be onto something; Have you flashed the dongle with the correct firmware? You need to use nRFgo Studio or nrfjprog to flash the ble-sniffer_nrf51822_0.9.5_Sniffer.hex firmware contained in the Firmware folder to the dongle. This firmware should be flashed without a softdevice on the dongle.

How to do this flashing is also described in chapter 2 of the Sniffer User Guide.

What .hex did you flash the dongle with?
