Confirmed fingerprint due to custom ROM - LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

I used Le Max 2 for 1 year with factory ROM 19s without problem. After that I flash Slim7 ROM. After 1 month, fingerprint is dead.
Confirmed flashing ROM causing 95% death of fingerprint sensor.

No death of fingerprint ! Is a software issue i have posted one solution for this issue in the stock rom post

I have flashed loads of different custom ROMs, the only issue I had was a slow sensor on Pixel Experience.
It's highly improbable that a custom ROM breaks the fingerprint sensor hardware, it's probably a software issue.
Try to flash another custom ROM, or revert to official EUI builds. If all else fails, do a QFIL flash (this wipes everything though, so backup your stuff before doing that kind of thing).

The first thing you have to do before any flash, is update the firmware, not the rom, and then flash any rom you want to.
Custom rom never break any part of hardware, only if its a bug and its not working yet.
so 95% of finger print problem, is user related, not rom.

it is no a hardware problem ! mine is dead after one week , after 2 month it s ok , i have installed cuoco and now figerprint is dead but if the fingerprint can take a foto it s a software issue , now i must wait a long time for this issue and the fingerprint was alive , you can try this method :

please, can you tell me where? I can't find it

I can confirm that fingerprint sensor stops working when i flash different modems firmware.
The only way fingerprint always work on my X829 is with MODEM_446D_V.00050.zip

I have the same with stock rom pedrazamarcos, how do you install that modem. My fingerprint stop working

Just want to share as it's as crazy as it might sound. My Le Max 2 x829 fingerprint miraculously came back from the dead after using the phone for the past 3 years without it. It stopped working since the 4th day after using for the first time back in 2016.
At that time, I searched these forums for solutions as it would be troublesome to ask for refund by returning the phone to China (Gearbest). I ended up using Small Eui Rom since then, but still the fingerprint didn't work. I just thought it was a hardware defect and didn't bother to install different kind of roms to revive it as the results posted here by members were inconsistent.
Then now, when I was about to retire this phone, I looked for some PIE Roms here to try new features of the Android 9.0 as the Small Eui Rom was just stuck at Marshmallow.
I upgraded my TWRP to the latest version for this phone and decided to install Revenge OS Pasta 2.5 Official Rom. I followed their instructions to flash from TWRP and added the 26S zip modem file in the process. Everything went smoothly, and I liked the rom very much and it worked fantastic, even the IR blaster worked flawlessly with the remote app from this rom. But, still no sign of fingerprint revival at that time.
Then, I searched these forums again if there's an updated solution for this old problem. I found a thread mentioned using 446D modem file and suggested that the phone should not be rebooted after installation, but instead shut it down. So, I followed the step and wait for few minutes before turning on the phone again. To my disappointment, it didn't work. The fingerprint was still dead. I didn't install any apps other then ones included in the rom and i didn't even register my Google account.
So, I just turned it off again and charged it overnight. The following evening I decided to turn on the phone again to try adding finger again, and to my surprise, the fingerprint sensor vibrated again for the first time in 3 years! Unfortunately, it failed to register a finger before time out as it could only vibrate 2 times in a row. I rebooted the phone again a few times, but it went silent again as nothing happens when trying to add a finger.
I just shut it down again and left on my desk without charging as the battery still around 76% after a few reboot attempts.
I left it for about 3 days without touching it, until one evening I decided to turn it on again. To my big survive, the long thought dead fingerprint sensor miraculously came back to life! At first, it worked sluggishly as it took a long time to register a finger, but at least it could complete the process for a finger. Fortunately, it performed better for the subsequent 2 fingers. On the 4th finger added, the registration process went smoothly!
However, after the finger registration process were done, the unlocking process were inconsistent as it sometimes worked, but failed most of the time. So, I just turned it off again.
The next day, after turning the phone on and waited a few minutes before using the scanner, the unlocking process were much better as it read faster and faster. And now, it just worked again like it never died! Yes there were still some time it was unresponsive, but it unlocked quite fast when it worked.
Maybe my experience could be useful for anyone who wants to try. I just overwhelmed this could happen!

A very unusual issue with the fingerprint scanner

I've had my phone for a few months now
I flashed the Skydragon 6.0.1 ROM yesterday and I wanted to move back to 5.1.1
So I did, I flashed the TWRP for 5.1.1 and I flashed the Stock OOS 2.2.0
But now, my home button works and Im able to register my fingerprint but after I selected use fingerprint to unlock it doesn't unlock
I've tried every solution on the Internet such as
1) Force stop com.oneplus.fingerprint and hard reset
2)Use software nav buttons
3)Factory reset
Nothing seems to work
I love the fingerprint feature in the OP2
Someone please help me out.
When I dialled *#808# and checked the finger print auto test and it said PASS
So Im sure its not a Hardware error
You should probably flash the old modem back. Can you please get into the security settings inside settings and tell me if you have a force close. If you get a force close you have to flash the old modem.
By saying modem I mean firmware. You can find it in OnePlus 2 Android development > taker18's cyanpop's second post.
Or in blissmallow thread second post.

Home button not working at all (tried several fixes)

(Edit 1) Found a fix already! Read post 2!!!
Hello there,
I've been having a OnePlus Two since 4 months already, and had like 2 or 3 home button not working issues.
They used to fixed by themselves after a couple of days of not working, but not this last time.
I tried already the reinstalling system (after formatting system via TWRP), clean it several times, hard reset (hold power button for more than 20 seconds), complete drain battery and fully charge it again, force stop fingerprint service, take out the tempered glass screen protector, and none of those solutions worked.
I here attach (copy the link, can't upload a video directly to this post) a video in which you can see that whenever I power on the screen (still locked), the home button works for several times, but as soon as I unlock it (pattern lock) it stops working. This makes me think that the problem is software, not hardware, but as I said before, already tried reinstalling OOS 3.0, wiping system, cache, data, internal storage, etc.
I compressed the video so it wouldnt be too big, but quality is good enough, just rise the volume so you can listen to the "vibration" that the home button produce.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Daniel Castro
Fix for the issue!
Forum people, I found a fix!
Ok, the solution for making the home button work again (with fingerprint sensor) is the following.
-Factory reset while in OOS 3.0
-Set up everything up and then reboot into fastboot mode
-Install OOS 2.1 via fastboot (you will need to search the forums for it)
-Set up everything up and try to set up fingerprint (it wont work)
-Copy OOS 3.0 (Beta) in the root of the phone
-Reboot into stock recovery and flash OOS 3.0 (beta)
-Factory reset it and set up everything again
-Voila!
Feel free to try this method and reply to this threat or P.M. me for any help.
Sincerely,
Daniel Castro
I have the same problem
Tomorrow i'll try your method
I've posted a questione about this issue,
I think the One plus team should find a solution to this problem that afflict many users
Also, don't forget to rotate your phone 720 degrees, counter clock wise! ? hocus pocus....

Will it erase my internal storage during that fast boot step? So I can backup all my data.

Most probably hardware design fault, solution would be to redesign the phone and release a fixed design, will probably not happen unless oneplus3 is the solution.
And I second that it's just coincident behind these back and forth flashing of firmwares "solving" it, almost religious. But what are people to do when oneplus is not a company that takes responsibility for they're mistakes.

If it works, its worth a try . And yeah, but we are not in any OnePlus Forum, neither debating about if they are gonna do anything about their own issue, we are trying to fix what an irresponsable company wont.
can we make together an official request to one plus to give us an answer or explanation about this? a lot of users are facing this issue, it's not normal
This is my second opt I bought that this problem has happened
sorry for my english
I had also tried lot of things but home button is not responsive at all.. H2os,exodus,oxygen 2.1 ,3.0 same everywhere

Enrollment not working try differnt finger or try again ... Nd fingerprint autotest not starting also

Unfortunately that is not the case, it's a hardware design bug.
However you can f-k up your finger scanner by damage your persistant-partition if you flash up and down between different ROM/bootloader revisions. But it's easily fixed by flashing the image file for that partition again.

50/50 moisture sensitivity and driver issue.
Home button has been working fine for a year, installed 3.0.1 today and suddenly home button only works in OOS 3.0.1. No longer works in CM 13, yet works fine in OOS 3.0.1. Definitely a driver issue.
Tried installing OOS 2.2.1, wiping, then installing Grarak's CM 13 and home button refuses to work. Wiped system, data, cache, installed OOS 3.0.1 and home button works again. Tried wiping again and installed CM 13, home button stopped working. Wiped and reinstalled OOS 3.0.1, home button works again.
Odd thing, my phone will only work with CM13 roms and OOS 2.2.0 or less for fps and home button. Nothing will fix or ever work.
For me, the home button stopped working for a short while on Graraks, then it just jumped back to life again and I haven't had any more home button blackouts after that. If it's a driver issue, it's an extremely intermittent one.
The fingerprint scanner has stopped working from time to time at lockscreen, but this is acceptable for an official hackjobb supported scanner until official sources are released ?
Need Help with this!
Hi everyone!
I have a OP 2 for more than one and a half years now and never had any issues with it(stayed stock...) until recently. I didnt update the phone to the latest version and was putting it off, and today in the afternoon when I tried to unlock my phone it said the 'Fingerprint hardware is not available' and after unlocking the phone with the pattern, it IMMEDIATELY LOCKS ITSELF BACK !!! after split second it just locks the screen while everything is working like connection, wifi, messages, notifications, etc. but due to this I cannot access anything on the phone, can't go to settings and switch to onscreen nav bar buttons, can't force stop/wipe cache the com.fingerprints.serviceext either, tried restarting it several times, downloaded the update but can't even install it because the phone just locks! I have no idea what would fix it and I am avoiding a full reset and wipe on the phone(also based on all i have read, dont think it would fix it anyways)
If anyone knows whats the problem or has dealt with it or knows someone who has, please help me out here on how to fix this and what to do. I did not root it or flash custom ROM's on it yet so literally dont know why it happened.
Thanks,
Max

New problem with Fingerprints

So I've been searching all the internet regarding my problem and found none to have my problem.
I was using popwiz rom and after a while my fingerprint sensor stopped working with the error "An error has occureed with the fingerprint sensor. If this message appears repeatedly, restart your device."
Because I needed my G900FQ, I ignored the issue for a while. Found S7 insanity which has a fingerprint bug and forgot about the problem.
Yesterday wanted to check out official MM for my S5, and had to reflash stock lollipop. Then I remembered my fingerprint problem so I tried to set it up. I kept getting that nasty error, tried deleting cache, tried deleting data with Titanium. Reflashed stock 2 times again, nothing worked. Until I was ready to give up and go to bed. Then it suddenly started working. Managed to set it up and activate fingerprint unlock.
Now is the bummer!
I CAN UNLOCK with fingerprint if waiting about 3 seconds after turning screen on.
I CANNOT ADD FINGER through settings, I get the nasty error message.
Tried to enter factory tests and under NormalScan button says Version 0.0.0.0 and in SensorInfo says Ready and stays that way.
I tried to enter factory tests very fast after unlocking with fingerprint and I got, only once and for a brief moment, the right Version and SensorInfo, and Normal Scan showed data and graph.
Now I will try to install official MM firmware with Odin.
Anyone has any ideas to what the cause may be ? And maybe a solution ?
Thanks in advance
L.E. I installed official MM firmware and now fingerprint sensor works when unlocking and adding fingers, but when I try to unlock my phone while it is connected to a power source I get the nasty error message again and prompts me for my backup password. Any advice would be deeply appreciated.
Flash a stock ROM and factory reset?
It seems you did not read the whole thread before suggesting me this...
I did that many times. Lollipop and MM official stock... Its like the sensor is not responding in some situations , but in other situations it does. And this seems to be pretty random..

It seems you don't even know what you typed, nowhere in your OP did you mention factory resetting and then flashing a stock ROM
Only that you flashed stock ROMs, flashing stock ROMs does nothing to reset anything and will leave behind bugs from the previous ROM if the issue is with an app / data etc
Before getting clever, read what you type
It's obvious that by flashing a stock rom over a custom one will leave bugs. Did full wipe (system, data, cache&dalvik, even phone internal sd) before flashing stock, every time. Thanks anyway..

Well maybe next time add that fairly important info to your main post, instead of hoping everyone is psychic, and then throwing a hissy fit when they suggest something you have not stated you already tried.

New EU firmware! (EU1.1.124b)

So, it just popped up while my phone was idle, without anyone calling it in here first, YotaPhone finally decided to give us EU users the RU124 firmware! It looks from the changelog to be the exact EU equivalent to its RU counterpart, including YotaTravel, the return of the YotaStore and other stuff. It's been so long that I don't even remember, but I should be fine flashing this and then reflashing SuperSU and Xposed without losing anything, correct?
If you have stock recovery it will install fine. If not you should be able to grab the update zip from /cache and side load. Then reflash what you want.

Yep I'm still on the stock recovery (I just boot TWRP every time I need it). Gotcha, then I'm just dumping my Titanium Backup folder onto my PC as a precaution, and then I'll update and report back on SU\Xposed.
Looks like whatever Yota pushed at 117MB was the wrong thing - a failed update attempt and a reboot later, it's now 0.94 GB. Seems like it's the correct size in ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/EU/ so now it should work.
Update from RU1.1.112 to RU1.1.124 issue

Just as expected the 0.94 GB update file worked, I reflashed SuperSU and Xposed and the phone is working great on 1.124b.
What version were you coming from?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
EU1.87. I wanted to go to the RU version but never could get a KitKat RU firmware to boot on my device, so I just gave up and went back to the latest EU firmware.
Ah OK that makes sense. Glad you got it working.

Go mine today (1.1.44HK)
Updated to EU 1.1.124b with official yotaflasher.
No Su nor any hack.
So far no bug, it's a great device.
Hi there!
I'm waiting for my yotaphone 2 from this new wave from chinese shops. I ordered the International version. Is it safe to flash the EU version firmware over the "international" version?
And please, can anyone provide an alternative downolad link for the yota flasher?
The one from offcial website:
https://yotaphone.com/us-en/ypflasher/
is a corrupted zip file.
Thanks!
Edit:
I could get it from here:
ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/YotaPhoneFlasher/
Seems there's a bug.
Almost each time i try to unlock phone (with power button) from EDP the pin keyboard isn't showing up, i must tap all over the EDP screen, way it's relocking then i can have the keyboard again.

Hello
I deployed this great update a few days ago, and it clearly brings numerous improvements and fixes.
One visibly new bug annoys me a lot anyway, and that's why I am posting :
When I type a SMS on the EPD, lots of freezes occur. And today, I found a simple pattern. I type a word, and then I back-delete one or a few letters of it. Then I add new letters, and that frequently freezes the EPD for a long moment.
It's not 100%, lots of times it freezes under these conditions, few other times it does not.
I setup 3 languages to choose from (thanks to the update !) and the auto correction is ON.
Does someone else experience the same issue ? Any workaround or fix ?
Thanks
Appens to me 2 times, each time i needed to look/unlook the edp screen to solve
My problem is that with the latest update I need to restart my phone until it starts charging. Otherwise it will not charge ... does this happen to anybody else? Probably I should try to reset ...
no charge bug here
No charge bug here neither. Quite the opposite in fact, I would even say that autonomy obviously improved since this update.
And I confirm I have the same bug with the PIN keyboard not showing up on the EPD when using the Powa button. It happens very often after using the other screen, but unlocking by tapping twice is an easy and efficient workaround.
Surprising obvious bugs anyway, I hope the Yotagods watch us and intend to fix them.

No Auto-Rotation after selecting portrait lock

I'm not shure if is this the place, but here goes my problem.
A few days ago i decide to root my devide and after a loooong night o brick and stafs... i finally did it
So i proceed to install two rooms based on note 7 firmware... the fisrt one present bugs...
The i try with the second one, this was more stable but then i deactivated autorotate... and the next day when i activated again the screen still on portrait mode, so i decide to go back to stock
The real problem came here the first rom stock... all sensors stop working (besides get wet sim an sd card... still wondering why) so i flash another rom and still the same... all sensor marking 0s
after a long day... i decide to back to custom room and all my problems solve besides autorotating... dont understand why stop working (even flashing with pit the rom stock)
Games and Youtube(when i put on full screen) rotate to landscape... but other apps like whatsapp, facebook, multiwindows, etc... doesn't rotate...
Any suggestion??
I also try this method (enter root explorer and paste this libgnustl_shared.so on /system/lib), but the phone get laggy on the lock screen
Thx
