Hi everyone, first of all, thanks for being such nice community!
I've just received my new Mi5S, played with it for a bit and flashed xiaomiu.eu stable (because I was told to not use the 'fake' banggood global rom) , then flashed the latest xiaomi.eu dev (Android 7.0, I guess).
Everything was fine, but I tried to use the fingerprint sensor and it works very poorly, having to press more than 100 times to setup my finger, and then, it was very inconsistent to unlock.
I've tried many roms to try to understand the problem: Ressurection Remix, Xiaomi Global Stable 7.5.25 (using TWRP, flashing over "fake banggood global rom"), all have the same issue.
My question are...
Can i fix it flashing the global xiaomi image fastboot? (Maybe it's a corrupt/incompatible fingerprint firmware?)
Is there any difference from using TWRP and flashboot to flash? (I couldn't install the stable ROM after installing the dev, in order to downgrade, i restored my backup from 'fake banggood global rom', and then flashed xiaomi.eu stable // maybe the .zip doensn't come with all firmware? //
Will my bootloader LOCK if i flashboot? (my phone came unlocked from banggood).
Maybe my sensor is faulty? I guess it was working with the "banggood fake rom", but I tested briefly (it unlocked a few times, at least).
Sorry my english!
This is normal. We need to wait for Xiaomi to fix it.
I saw your post on Xiaomi eu too ?
Fingerprint for mi5s is well optimized now, it only takes 0.5 sec for me to unlock. Try to update your rom.
Well, try to record your finger horizontally.
For detailed how to, check this post http://en.miui.com/thread-439364-1-1.html
Try different techniques when registering your Fingerprint. I found applying a tiny amount of pressure on the sensor worked best for me. You don't need to press it you just have to make sure your skin is flattened on the surface.
Also a mistake I found when I saw my friend registering his fingerprint was he was registering around the center of his thumb, while in practice he used the tip of his thumb.
If done correctly I can unlock my phone scanning my thumb vertically or horizontally even though I registered it only vertically.
Try to install ZCX TWRP, mount persist partition, go to persist through TWRP file manager and rename fingerprint folder to fingerprint-old, after that, as I think, wipe needed.
Same here, have Mi 5s with MIUI 8.0.3.0 (MAGMIDI), received update to 8.5.3.0 (MAGMEID). Was happy to finally receive some update, but everything is pretty much the same. Hoped at least that the fingerprint sensor will perform a little better, but until now its even worse, doesn't respond at all. This **** sensor piss me off, before this phone I used fingerprint all the time... We get zero support from Xiaomi about this fingerprint sensor!! This is my first and last Xiaomi mobile device..
Anyway before reading this thread I considered installing different roms , maybe this stable one from Xiaomi.eu : xiaomi.eu_multi_MI5S_V8.5.3.0.MAGCNED_v8-6.0.zip
But in my understanding that didn't solve it for you, right?

hello i'm mi 5s 4gb/128gb user
yesterday, i was using cyanogenmod 13 but i want to use miui again
so i restored nendroid backup from twrp recovery
that was start of diaster..
after this. fingerprint scanner mostly doesn't work
sometimes fingerprint scanner work correctly after reboot, it doesn't work.. and sometimes... it works...
i did many many method (global rom, china rom via edl mode, fastboot mode) but everything has same result,
so i looked at my logcat
it says
QFP : QfpThreadMatch::execute: match result -3: QFP_INSUFFICIENT_COVERAGE
with my finger or not logcat said same result
why my fingerprint scanner doesn't work?
is it hardware issue?
sorry for poor english
yesterday, i was using cyanogenmod 13.......is it hardware issue? .......

Maybe placebo effect but people are saying Global rom had improved fingertip detection rate.
If i were you, i would flash as stock as possible, recovery, bootloader, lock status, everything, just to determine software versus hardware failure.
Hope for the best, as this kind of life cycle premature failure freak me out, first stucked autofocus sensor now this!!!

I had a problem which seemed to be hardware related after flashing the Chinese developer ROM and then later restoring a Miui EU ROM from a backup. My problem was with audio - there was no sound coming from the speaker or headphone output. I did diagnostic tests which failed - indicating a hardware problem.
It was only after re flashing the EU Miui ROM that the problem was resolved.

i solved it
i think this was problem of driver
so i needed rollback of driver
first. i flashed 6.10.13 eu rom over 6.12.29
it occurs bootloop
second. i flashed 6.12.29 over 6.10.13 again. and fingerprint works like charm again!
Exists the cyanogenmod for Mi5s?
Still very buggy. We have to wait for xiaomi to release the source code to get nice CM .
The fingerprint happened to me too, it just stopped working.
Flash the stable global using fastboot, it will erase everything, and will be great again.
Don't restore with Titanium backup, I had all kind of weird problems everytime I tried.
One of the worst fp sensors ever. I tried all the tricks mentioned in several places, detection rate stays very low.

Hi everyone
I searched QA and wasn't able to find same problem..
I'm back from Los via flashing full room by mi flasher and finger print does not work.
I can register finger print and and it's no accurate at all unless I revert back to aosp.
Does anyone had the same problem or by any chance find any solution?
I have already tested battery drain solution and fp calibration methods..
Thank you.
I'm on miui 10.0.1 EU and have the same issue. Sometimes I have to try multiple times for it to recognize the fp. Apparently it's an issue with miui 10 itself, hope someone here confirm it.
In my experience the problem is with pocket-mode, the fingerprint-reader is turned on inside your pocket and when the fingerprint-reader hits your leg and incorrectly, register this as an invalid, unlock, after 3 unsuccessful unlock-attempts it instead asks for lock-screenpassword.
On MIUI 10. 8.10.25 it works much better again (not sure if it's completely fixed but)

Well i can assure you it has nothing to do with miui 10
I reverted back to 9.x and same issue exists.
I changed multiple roms including miui custums and aosp based. I flashed persist. Img and tried multiple calibration methods and nothing changed so far and problem exists.

something similar happend to me with miui 9.5, all i had to do was to downgrade to miui 8 and install (via .apk) the fingerprint calibrator (something along those lines) it is only for the TCP? FCP? i dont remember exactly but it doesnt work for the goodix sensor, AND VOILA, i am now on miui10 with no problems on fingerprint (the only thing i am afraid is the arp in miui10 :/ )

Did you downgraded to MIUI 8, used the app to calibrate the FP Sensor and then Upgraded to MIUI 10 Over OTA, or installed the rom tru Recovery? TY!

2) downgrade to MIUI 8
3) installed FP calibration app
4) Relock bootloader (for waranty reasons)
sorry for being late to reply i just had no internet
Hi guys,
I have the mi Max 3 unlocked, with TWRP and rooted.
I have been running it with RevOS and now with GSI Havoc...
But there seems to be a real problem with the GPS ! It's super slow...
A fix takes about 30 seconds sometimes even more (in the same location, the Honor Note 10 fixes in 3/4 seconds).
And while I traval => "GPS connection lost" happens quite often and it also happens that I get "Searching for network".
Is there a "radio.img" or something like that that I may have to flash to improve things ?
Do you guys have the same when using GPS (like Waze) ?
Or is my device defective ? Should I try to reflash the global ROM for this ?
Thanks for your answers.
I use Xiaomi.EU Rom 8.11.15 (last Oreo updated), used Waze first time this morning and locked in incredibly fast.
Maybe down to the OS you are on?

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
Maybe the OS. But now I am using Havoc OS Pie and I have the same problem Super slow fix : like 30 seconds and up to 1 or 2 minutes.
Will try to reinstall original MIUI stock but I fear to get a device with ARB protection (which I would like to avoid).
Regards.

What version are you on?
If you are MIUI 10, don't go below MIUI 10.
If you are on MIUI 9, like I was out of the box, 9.6.12, you cannot go down. anything above 9.6.8 has ARB really.
I got soft locked and I had to use MiFlash to restore Global ROM.
...or you just clean up the miui from all the ARB related sh*t before flashing it...
Hi guys,
Thanks for your answers...
Definitely ROM related.
I restored stock MIUI 9.8.6.0 (last official with no ARB) and Xiaomi.eu 8/8/9 (latest non official with no ARB) and with those, I got a GPS fix within seconds...
And that quick fix is reproductible...
So : there goes RevOS, which is a pity : it was superb and with lot of added customizations abilities...
Regards.

Hi,
Thanks for the link.
But I must say that I am a little anxious about that
First : it is unclear if I have to LEAVE the listed files in the FW-update folder or if I have to take ERASE those ;
Second : is it confirmed that if I do that, I won't have ARB on my device ? Because it seems that the author is just "speculating" about this and asks for confirmation...
So if you could provide a little more details, I'd be a taker
Regards.
Those are the files you should flash. All others not listed you delete along with the lines in updater-script/flash-all.bat. Haven't tested it myself b/c I don't care about MIUI and I only flash boot, system and vendor to test my stuff I work on. But later on I will have to test it b/c I will need vendor and firmware for my next project. So although not tested these files should be ARB safe, the rest of them removed are bootloader related where ARB resides. But with anything Xiaomi I can't be 100% sure until test it personally. What I can asure you is no ARB if you flash boot, system and vendor only...
Hello,
Someone on Reddit suggested I should ask my question on here, so here I am.
Yesterday I received my Redmi K30 from China. It was tricky to buy this one, because I live in the Netherlands, but I took a chance and bought it.
Everything works properly BUT the camera. The front facing camera's work, but the rear 64M doesn't. I keep getting an error, which says it can't connect with my camera. Or it simply freezes and there's no option to flip from front to rear camera. Other things that I tried are: clear camera cache, reboot, change app permissions.
Someone suggested it could be the Global Rom which was flashed (this is a Chinese Version with Global Rom). It seems that Global Roms can intervene with the original camera.
Is this something I (I'm not technical at all) can change and will this work? I'm afraid if I will change to much in the settings, that I can't return it when it's still not working.
Or should I just return this phone and wait for the Global Version?
Thanks for your help!

Hello , sorry , i have a questions for you, do you have enabled Band 20 LTE ( 800 mhz ) Thank you !
Never heard of this failure. I also got mine from China and there is no Global Rom availible. There is the Xiaomi.eu Rom, this not officail. If your Phone is unlocked, you can look on the Xiaomi.eu Thread and try to install it. On the lateste MIUI12 everything works like a charm
i also have this problem.. I just recieved my phone today... cant use 64mp cam and bokeh
I am also seeing this issue. I received my K30 5G on the 23rd and only parts of the camera is work. Issues I'm seeing:
If I try to take a picture while on photo mode, the camera app crashes regardless of if I am using the front or back camera.
If I try to select `64M` mode I get the "Cannot connect to camera" error
If I try to select `Slow Motion` mode I get the "Cannot connect to camera" error
If I try to select `Pro` mode I get the "Cannot connect to camera" error
If I try to use the 0.6 zoom function on the photo mode the camera app freezes
This seems to be the only issue I am seeing with this phone. It's a shame because its a great phone.
Phone Details:
MIUI Version: MIUI Global 11.1.0 | Stable 11.1.0.16 (QGIINXM)
Android Version: 10 QKQ1.191222.002
Does anyone have a device where the camera works normally? Holding off on buying one since reading this thread
I'm having the same issue with the camera of my Redmi K30. Do you know if the new Rom on xiomi.eu solves the problem? Thks for your help
This problem is a bug of the fake Global ROM for this phone, with original chinese/english ROM or Xiaomi.eu there is no issues.
Have the same problem for now I've just installed Google camera that works ok . But non wide and 64 main camera only 5 mega px macro camera is working
When I install a camera info app is only showing me 2 cameras 5 mega pixel each

If you have the global ROM your phone is already unlock .
When you power those it's say wonlock?
If yes you can skip unlock bootloader.
And just instal twrp and flash Xiaomi EU Rom
If not booting after just use this : fastboot -w
Power off and is on after you can update from you phone
Thanks for you help. I will try ...

Hi! Where is the ROM that is suggested in this case? I am from Italy and bought this phone on aliexpress, experiencing the same issue. It is my first xiaomi phone so I'm not sure where to get the specific rom needed in this case.
Thanks to anyone who will help!
Install Adb Xiaomi https://www.xiaomidriversdownload.c...vcnkvbGF0ZXN0X3VzYl9kcml2ZXJfd2luZG93cy56aXA=
Unlock first bootloader if necessary
( If your phone already say's unlocked when you boot up just skip
https://en.miui.com/unlock/
Install TWRP via Fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot recovery
FORMAT /data partition (NEVER wipe System or Persist!)
Copy ROM to the internal storage
Otg is working whit twrp
Install ROM via twrp
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...MK305G_V11.1.20.0.QGICNXM_v11-10.zip/download
If you are in boot loop to twrp
Just use fasboot -w
Power off and on
After that you can update without losing data from updater in your phone.
Maybe you will need to update 2 or 3 time before having the latest software .
That will be done automatically so just sit and relax.
.the update will be done in twrp so just accept and wait
Power of power on
Done
Thank you!!
Hi,
Few of you mentioned Global or English ROM, is that directly from Mi officially? Is so, could anyone please share a link.
The only thing I found is xiaomi.eu which is not the official.
Mine is K30i 5G which is a 48M camera that Camera does not work with xiaomi.eu unfortunately.
Many thanks

I have the same problem with camera app in my redmi K30 5G installing rom MIUI EU 12.5.7.0
When I flash a custom A13 ROM, the adaptive brightness on my Poco F3 stays on 13% (only adjusts when I move the slider but then goes down later), and fingerprint sensor does not appear under the Security settings.
I have flashed full MIUI ROM both 14.0.7 and 14.0.4 and afterwards, followed the respective flashing instructions of each ROM (BananaDroid, GhostDroid, AlphaDroid, Evo-X) but each time these 2 issues occur.
On A12 custom ROM, I was not having these problems.
I hope someone can shed some light on what I can do to alleviate this.
FYI, I live in Canada and bought the phone on Ali Express which has Russian print on the box. I don't know if this makes a difference or not with the MIUI stock ROM I should flash.
Thanks for any help.
maybe install latest MIUI through fastboot and then try a13 custom ROMs?

I heard about firmware causing trouble with fingerprint scanners, but not removing the option all together, perhaps try multiple firmwares and see if this fixes it?
About auto brightness, do you have anything covering your screen? Maybe that could be the problem
Is miui working well?
Surely if miui on a13 works, then this should be a custom Rom thing
Nothing covering the screen but I reflashed from scratch and now auto brightness works better but still not how it used to be on A12 but it's fine for now. Fingerprint scanner still not available although when I went back to MIUI 14.0.4 and 14.0.7 it was missing from there too so I'm not sure what the problem is. I do have face unlock though.
