Hi,
recently I bought a second hand mi5s. From first time, the fingerprint didn't work and it hasn't work.
Things I've tried:
1) Change firmware: i've flashed the latest and oldest firmware I've come across.
2) Change ROM: I've tried flashing lineageos and syberia, didn't work either.
3) Flash miui from EDL mode: I've flashed latest and oldest fastboot china miui developer via MiFlashTool, changing the rawprogram0.xml file to flash "persist.img" . The log shows that it has been flashed, but fingerprint still doens't work.
Any ideas or suggestions? How can I know if it is a hardware problem? The button looks fine and it works for usual actions as press it to go home and hold it to go to recent apps. Its only the finger recognision that doesn't work.
Thank you
Not sure why yours isn't working at all, but I can verify that the fingerprint sensor on the Mi5S is absolute garbage. I think, due to it being an early iteration of Qualcomm's ultrasonic sensor, the hardware just wasn't built properly.
Mine works at first, but then after a couple uses or registering more than one finger, its success rate drops to about 30%.
Edit: Try removing all your fingerprints and then re-registering them by pressing lightly. I remembered that the S10 has an ultransonic sensor and a lot of people reported that pressing lightly bumps the success rate way up.

I've loved my Zenfone 2 for a while now. I have the 64gb 1080p model. It was a well priced powerful phone for what I wanted.
However, I recently received an asus software update that completely borked the Gyroscope and some other sensors. I have read about similar issues online and testing the sensors reveals that they're not working.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? I have been unsuccessful in trying to install CyanogenMod13 or even TWRP/CWM. I rooted my phone and the bootloader is unlocked (white backscreen upon loading).
It seems as though ASUS doesn't want to fix this, would upgrading to a custom ROM provide firmware that would properly recognize and use the gyroscope as input?
I've tried wiping the system cache in the stock recovery, resetting to factory new and everything to no avail.
I am willing to "tip" or "pay" for someone's time if they can help me as I cannot auto-rotate or use any applications requiring certain sensors.
Thanks for your time.
I've upgraded to CM13 successfully now and the gyroscope is still not even recognized in Sensor applications. Is it hardware?
solution?
Just recently my fingerprint scanner will decide to stop working. I'll dirty flash my ROM (latest PureNexus) and it'll go back to normal for a little while. Is this a known issue with nougat I'm not aware of?

No, that is not a nougat issue or an issue with that particular rom. It's either firmware, which is in vendor our a failing fingerprint sensor. Try re flashing vendor and see if that helps
I was having that problem too. I tried several things with no luck. The menu option for the fingerprints (under personal/security) disappeared, and since I am clueless about the Nexus phone (iPhone convert), I was baffled. For a separate reason, I had used the ad blocker plus browser to clear the cache of suspicious garbage, then restarted my phone. The fingerprint menu item reappeared, and now the sensor works again....so try clearing your cache.
I got too i fixed by clean fingerprint connector in the phone.
After restarting my Mi5s the fingerprint scanner doesn't work anymore. The same issue appears when I put the phone off and I put it on a day later (I like to put the phone off while sleeping).
I know that the first time after restarting the fingerprint doesn't work by Android default. However, it also doesn't work thereafter. When I remove the fingerprints in settings and add new ones, it works again. Does anyone have the same issue and a possible solution?
Not having this issue. Which ROM version do you have installed?
I use the xiaomi.eu stable rom.
Ah ok, custom ROM then. Please ask in xiaomi.eu forum, they might know more.

I had same problem here after I encrypted my device with 'encrypt device using lock screen'. When I switched encryption off the problem was solved. So seems a software problem. I am working with most recent stable Global Rom (8.0.3.0). Hope it will be solved in next release. China stable was released a few days ago.
had that problem with miui.eu , it was an outdated version of supersu and twrp, updated them and problem solved.
Hey so I'm new to the OnlePlus 5T. I used to be on the 3T and never had any issues like this, I was a flashaholic on that device so I know my way around the process of flashing custom roms. Or at least I thought so?
So before I ask, here's what I'm running:
- Latest OOS Firmware, I believe 9.0.4
- Resurrection Remix Pie (Official), Dumpling.
- TWRP (Can't remember the version but it's the latest by codeworkx, was posted this month)
- I AM encyrpted
- I AM rooted with the latest Magisk
So here's what I did: Yesterday I got irritated by the lack of official RR updates, so I tried out an unofficial luisroms build. I reverted back because I realised not much had changed, but when I restored my backup I couldn't get into my phone as it said I needed a password even though I made sure to remove all lockscreen security before making the backup in the first place.
After a few hours of trying, I got in but couldn't register a fingerprint. It just wasn't recognising my finger when I tried to actually set it and stayed on the "Touch the fingerprint sensor" screen.
So I went back to Oxygen OS, made sure I was fully updated and encrypted and then re-flashed official Resurrection Remix Pie for Dumpling.
(Important: As of this point, the fingerprint sensor was working perfectly again, so the physical sensor is working fine!)
I've only just got the phone fully set up, I removed the lockscreen security (Including the fingerprint) and went into TWRP. I made a backup. Then I rebooted back into the OS and now when I'm trying to apply my fingerprint again, it's not recognising my finger. Exactly the same as it was before I re-installed OOS.
So summary: TWRP Backups and Restores are breaking my phone's ability to use the fingerprint sensor. Is this a known issue, and how do I fix it?
Thanks for your time, hopefully the good people of XDA can help me out here :good:
EDIT: Progress has been made, ish.
By going into root/data/system/users/0 and deleting "fpdata" and "settings_fingerprint.xml" I can now get the fingerprint setup to recognise my finger in the settings, but right as I'm about to do the final fingerprint press to set it up I get the error: "enrollment was not completed. Fingerprint enrollment didn't work. Try again or use a different finger"
FURTHER EDIT: So as unrelated as it seems, with the issue happening right after making a backup in TWRP, it appears the issue was caused by a Magisk module called NFS-INJECTOR. Not knocking that project, it's amazing and I'm still using it, but after disabling it in magisk and rebooting I was able to set a fingerprint just fine. I've now re-enabled the module and all seems to be working correctly. I've reported the issue over there and linked to here for steps to reproduce, hopefully it's something that can be fixed. I'll leave this up in case anyone else experiences the same thing.
Hello Guys! I recently started to notice a very odd issue on my zuk z2 plus. I currently am running AospExtended ROM V6.4 (Android 9, Pie) with magisk installed. But this problem started before magisk was installed.
What happens is when i unlock my phone, after a mere 2 seconds, the touch absolutely freezes. I mean the screen is on, hardware buttons (U touch, Power & Volume Rocker) work, and i can even receive notifications, which means the phone is working, but the screen is not? If I turn off the device (Not Power Off, Just a tap of the power button) and unlock again, the touch resumes, but only for 2 seconds. This can be done infinitely. Reboots, shutdowns, forced power off, recovery etc all seem to go in vain, though some lucky reboots can save the day. Also, if I unlock the phone and then open google in a flash and start typing anything, it sometimes works and the touch resumes. This issue also persists in Safe Mode.
My issue is also very similar to the one seen here :

Forum : https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-zuk-z2/help/touch-issue-t3708645
Keep in mind that I faced the same issue on my previous rom, Resurrection Remix v6.0 Oreo. I can always provide additional information if anyone wants. If anyone has faced the same issue, or has the fix to this, please do tell me as it is very difficult to manage.
Did you change something in root partition. I had the same issue in msm xtended when i deleted some app from system but after dirty flash it was solved.

No, I did not do anything, also, the issue persists in safe mode too, so that means no 3rd party app is causing it.

It could be a rom issue, try posting it on rom thread. Sorry i may be of no help.
have you tried to QFIL to latest zui and observe if the issue persist in zui as well??
Same problem here. Never rooted my z2, don't even have twrp installed. Always have been on 2.5.104 ST rom.
Really frustrating issue caused by Lenovo. Will ever avoid any Lenovo devices in future.
****
Same problems happening with mine too
I think that my hardware problem but now i guess its every one problem slowly
As a matter of update:
I got my z2 repaired locally. Service diagnosed short-circuit failure of the sensor. Nasty /really wanted to use another word here/ production quality by lenovo. Cost me around $60.
