Help. Fingerprint sensor stopped working all of a sudden - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

All of a sudden my fingerprint sensor stopped working. I have tried a reset already (Full wipe) and no change.
When I try learn fingerprints, it just does not do anything when touching the sensor.
I do not think its a hardware problem due to the following picture attached.
The self test, passes if I leave the fingerprint sensor UNCOVERED. If i touch it or cover it with my finger, it then goes and fails. Open it passes, closed it fails.
Any ideas?

Running stock latest OTA.

I've had this on a couple of occasions where it does not seem to respond and it's not because my finger is dirty etc. I end up unlocking by another way and then it seems to sort itself out.

I have washed my hands, cleaned the phone etc....
I have now updated to the latest avail firmware (OnePlus5TOxygen_43_OTA_007_all_1712122320_69f9fba67934cd) .
No difference.
ANy ideas guys? This bother me so much that I will retire the phone If I cannot fix it. Also, returning it is not an option as I live in South Africa and had to "MyUS" it to me. (Online bought on US).

Manually "local upgrade" downgraded to "OnePlus5TOxygen_43_OTA_004_all_1711152324_9a7ca8ad1c7d"
No changes.
Now doing a normal OTA

How does one do a clean flash with the full stock firmware using stock recovery. I mean, not just a "local upgrade" but rather full wipe / reinstall etc..leaving you with a brand new (Software) start up?
Thanks

Not sure, but my Fingerprint sensor seems to be acting up as well. It still works most of the time, but sometimes doesn't react at all. Might be something that will pop up for more users over time if it's a hardware fault and it might well be...

Just confirming, no changes after the OTA again.
I would think fingerprint sensor is dead, but test results (Fail and pass depending on finger position) tell me otherwise....Very alive. Feels like a software issue....any ideas?

I too had the wired issue, the sensor does not work at times, cant unlock my device that way, at that time the double tap to wake also does not work, but most of the time it seems to work for me till now, I do suspect that its kind of a software problem of sorts, I believe that you must raise the issue over at the official one plus forums, or may be just get the device replaced.

The latest room is 4.7.5. you're running 4.7.4. maybe that could be an issue.
Try to flash full ROM through TWRP.

Update.
Screen start to stop working randomly , a restart by holding power button would restart and it would work again. Untill it didn't work again. This would happen once a day.
Phone is now unusable. Booting to recovery lands you in either stock or twrp, however can't touch anything on twrp to flash.
Any ideas ?

Start from scratch. Adb it with stock ROM, stock recovery. Just revert everything back to stock. Backup first

Had the same issue.
Contacted 1+ on the support chat- they have send me so called testing OS (had higher build then the latest 4.6.7) which probably overwritten installed programs and
evrithing started to work.
If you are facing this problem just try this way.

Ok, well if you're still able to get to bootloader, then there's hope. Have you tried The Doctors back to stock guide here:

[Q] Camera Failed Problem

Hi,
This is my first post in XDA. I'm pretty sure there are similar posts regarding my issue but none of them have solved my problem. My friend gave me his SGS3 T999 (T-Mobile). But the camera won't work, I just get the following message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've already tried the following:
1. Flash stock rom
2. Tried other camera apps
3. Tested both front and back cameras with *#0*# USSD code
It may be related but the Accelorometer doesn't work either.
Checked the firmwares:
Rear Camera
Cam FW Ver: GDFD06
Phone FW Ver: GDFI02
Front Camera:
Cam&Phone FW Ver: S5K6A3
I have a hunch, would it be possible to change the camera's firmware verson? That's the only thing I haven't tried so far. I read somewhere that the problem started when they updated the firmware.
You cant manually update the camera firmware anymore. They blocked this in 4.1.2, so you'd have to go back to 4.1.1, but you probably already have newer cam firmware than you'd get doing that. Did it work when you ran the test?
Might want to consider replacing the camera. Pretty cheap part online.

I don't think it's a hardware issue. I tested both the front and back camera but both of them just get the same error message.
Look in /system/cameradata for a file that has your cam firmware in the name. If its not there, that's probably the cause. If it is there, im not sure...

I've tried experimenting with the files in cameradata and found in some threads that dropping a ZH.bin file might fix the issue. but it hasn't after doing so.
When I tried removing the GD.bin file though, it stops crashing the camera but there's still no picture from the lens.
Only other thing I can think to try is to flash the full stock firmware via Odin, then factory reset and test. (This will wipe internal sd fyi)
I'm thinking of replacing the front and back cameras.
I was only able to find parts for shv-e210s/k (korean model), would it be okay to use these parts for the T999?
Probably, as long as they're for the S3. Did you check http://etradesupply.com ? They ship from both hong kong and the US and im quite certain they have the exact parts you'll need.
---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------
They're pretty cheap too, so even if it doesn't fix it, you shouldn't be out much money.
I dont recall if it was mentioned, and I don't have a clue if it'd work or not, but you could try flashing a 4.1.1 rom, then use the dialer codes to get to the cam firmware menu, and choose phone to cam f/w write. Its the last thing I could think to try....

Just to give you an update on what has happened so far..
I replaced my faulty front-facing camera, figured it was since the proximity sensor wasn't working.
So right now I am 100% sure that the front-facing camera is working but I still get the same Camera Failed error after testing it through the *#0*# menu. RIght now I'm downloading the 4.1.1 firmware and hoping that this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625461 will help me downgrade.
After that, fingers crossed that using the phone/cam fw write will work.
Id be very, very, very cautious about doing that. If any part of it doesn't work quite right you'll hard brick for sure.
If it were me, I'd try just the 4.1.1 rom first and only do that process as a last resort. I am curious if it would actually work, but I dont want to see anyone brick to try figuring it out!

Good news is, the downgrade worked.
But the Phone to CAM FW Write is still grayed out and camera isn't working.
After everything I did, I think it's safe to assume that it's the motherboard.
Well its cool to see that that actually worked for downgrading! Ill have to look into it a bit more I suppose. Sorry to hear it didn't help though. If you want to look into it, you can find motherboards for sale on ebay most of the time. Just watch out for blacklisted ones.

I haven't found any posts about this yet, not through T-MOBILE anyways. As you can see, I'm connected through my home wifi but I don't have an option to download anything? I'd rather it not update around 11pm - 4am as I have to be up for work at 5am and my phone is my only alarm. Is it downloading in the background through wifi and then I get the option to install when it's done or what? I've tried updating through LG bridge and there's no updates through that (Lg bridge updated to latest version as well.)
Anyone else getting this?
Just checked, I can confirm it.

And If you change the time manually to "12 am" you won't have to wait until the actual 11-4am time lol

I actually thought about doing that but I didn't want to screw anything up. I'll give it a try though!
Edit: It worked! updating now.
@CuhThooLoo @Vesnik what's the build no.?
Damn I just checked it for the hell of it and seen the update.....but unfortunately no longer have a PC so I can't go back to stock to take it
it must be 7.0 .....
i will wait for the flashable stock 20a rom or rooted tot files come out
Awesome. Nice surprise. I'm downloading it now!
Yeah the 12am trick worked. Downloading now.
anyone know where the update.zip downloads to? I have TWRP so was hoping to flash in there.
To anyone taking the update, are you guys rooted/have Twrp?

I tried but when it booted to TWRP I couldn't find the .zip. It wasn't in /cache like I was expecting.
I would wait it out a bit, with the anti rollback and unknown root ability it just seems like a leap to unknown ground. They (LG/Tmo) haven't locked it yet but could at any point.
I see it is ready, but can't download

Ah I see. You must change the date on the phone, not the update message.
Has the update improved camera performance at all? Does it snap any faster?
I will wait for root before making the jump. Any news on what(if anything) changed on the g5 specifically? Anything added or improved?
Anyone not seeing the update keep checking for update again and again .. i think it started showing for me after 10 attempts or so, then i toggled auto time off and changed the time to 2355 hrs = 11:55 pm now its downloading .. i did hear about some things breaking like wifi .. Fingers crossed will update soon ...
Update 1 - it was downloaded several times on my phone but after clicking restart and install, it suddenly goes back to showing "Your System is up to date, last checked xy:zv pm
Update 2 Seems you really need the battery to be 100%, leaving the phone plugged in wont help unless battery is 100%, i dont think it is a smart requirement, but it is what it is..the phone is updating now lets see...
Update 3 It has updated, dont see much changes, camera got nothing that i can say is improved, theming is a bit more complete with not of things going dark when you choose dark themes ... notifications still have white background, an eye sore...

Downgrade from Pie to Oreo

Hello all,
I'm currently using this device after doing the update to Pie but the bugs are many yet that I consider it not stable for my personal use. It may differ to others.
However, I'm trying, without luck, rollback to Oreo where the experience was just great.
I'm having issues with battery, wifi speeds, adaptive display, sounds, camera with DND enabled, etc. Even erased my device to factory settings but the persist.
Is there an easy way (using a macbook if that matters but can install windows with bootcamp if there is the need for that) that I could return to Oreo from Pie? (this is what we get to be anxious for new versions! eheh)
Best regards!

I downgraded from Pie to Oreo because here in Italy my provider (TIM) doesn't work well with Pie, phone calls doesn't coming (the caller hear phone ringing but nothing happen on my phone!). I had to flash 9.6.4.0 stock rom with miflash and select "clean all" because "save user data" lead me to the infamous password request when restart. Obviously data was lost, but no problems at all with Oreo.

Android Pie Problem on Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus

After updating to Android Pie I'm facing an issue and I have searched everywhere about that but found no resolution yet.
I'm attaching a screenshot of the problem. The problem is, even I have turned off the edge panel but its still showing up and the most weirdest thing is, that edge panel is showing up on both right & left side.
Please let me know if this is normal as its really annoying. I really wanna get rid of this.

Okay cool perhaps ota update caused it. I recommend downloading pie for your region and flash via Odin. Use CSC (instead of Home CSC) when flashing. This will erase everything so be sure to make Backups before you do.
If you go this route let me know if it fixes the issue.

It sounds like you're saying that onehand+ app is causing your problem. If that's so then uninstall the app, reboot and don't use the app until it's compatible with Pie.

yes from Good Lock 2018
I had the same problem, just uninstalled good lock but as soon as I go to type something, it reappears & typing is so laggy
Here's a screen shot
Follow the simple instruction and uninstall one hand operation +.
Jesus christ, why can't people follow simple instructions to resolve their issues? ?
One hand is switched off, done a factory reset & no change, also having major problems with the keyboard edge letters & numbers & the send button on messaging. Rather down grade to oreo
By the way, what's one hand operation + ? & you can't uninstall one handed mode,its a system app
Did you solve your problem?

Mi 9 SE bricked after successful MIUI 11 Update

Hello everybody!
I have a problem with my Xiaomi Mi 9 SE. This is what happened:
Few days ago I updated to MIUI 11. Everything seemed to run smoothly.
2 days ago I noticed a huge battery drain during the day. I finished my day with my battery @ 10/1% with my usual daily use.
Yesterday I was using my phone normally while it was charging (watching a video on Youtube). The phone became unresponsive to everything: the touchscreen was not working, the buttons on the right were not working.
I decided to "hard-reboot" my phone. I pressed the on/off button for a few seconds.
The screen turned off.
From this point on, my phone was completely bricked. It does not turn on in any way possible: I tried also pressing the on/off button + volume up or down but nothing. Nothing happens even connecting it again to the power cord.
I tried connecting my phone to the PC via USB and this is what my PC recognized:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But my phone still remains bricked/with its screen black.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this or at least recover my data in some way?
I suspect some bug related to battery mgmt in the MIUI 11 and I personally do not suggest you to update to it right now.
Thank you very much in advance!
You're on edl mode. I've been there. Unfortunately, Xiaomi doesn't allow us to recover our phones on edl mode, which is a shame. So, there are two options:
1 - Send it to the seller and try a fix/replacement.
2 - Pay someone with edl authorization to unbrick your phone.
If you want, I'll give you the contact of the person who did that for me. But I had unlocked the bootloader and flashed several ROMS. I bricked the phone trying to restore a full backup. Your case is different and, for what you described, you may be experiencing hardware problems, so I would go for option one.

Thank you very much for your reply! I really feel disappointed because I never messed up with my phone. I always used official releases. Since I bought it in Italy and now I'm far away from my country, I would go for option 2. Do you know if it is possible at least to recover my photos? Honestly that's the most important thing for me right now and unfortunately I forgot to enable the backup (my bad!).
We can speak in private if you prefer, send me a message with the details of the person that helped you.
Thanks!

Just to update everyone on the status: my phone is still bricked. I contacted the guy suggested by elpaablo but he just suggests to re-flash my phone while I want to recover my data first. I will leave my phone in the closet for 1/2 weeks and then try again to turn it on because I read on other threads that this worked for other people.
I will update this thread later on. I want to highlight again that I did not do anything weird with my Mi 9 SE: no twrp, no custom rom, no weird flashing, nothing. I just updated successfully my phone to the global stable using the official update menu in the settings.
Use your warranty. Your phone should be replaced. As for your photos, didn't you use some kind of backup, like google photos?

Yeah I already contacted my seller and I'm going to ask for repair/replacement. Unfortunately I was not using a backup solution (my bad!).
