Fingerprint not working when updating ROM. - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
I'm having an issue when updating my Mi A1 with Pixel Experience. After some updates, the FingerPrint stops working. If i'd like to keep it working, i need to downgrade the rom version to the one that was before update.
Anyone is having this issue? There is a fix without clean flash every time that it happens?

I guess its the EFS partition issue (with the data of sensors), if you have a backup, try restoring it in the TWRP, otherwise try flashing stock Pie.

Fingerprint hardware not available

Hi,
When I try to register my fingerprint it says continuously fingerprint hardware not available,
Now, I know that my fingerprint sensor is working beacause it was woking ok but I wanted to add more fingerprints to make it more accurate, and when I tried that it kept saying that hardware not... So I deleted all the exisiting fingerprint and now I cant register any.
Did wipe cache partition and tried to clear data from com.ztefingerprints.service but it's greyed out.
I want to avoid factory reset, or clearing the phone data.
Any solution?
Edit: stock b32
Thanks
Which rom, dirty flash the ROM !
Stock b32
I'm with g model on custom rom, just reflash the ROM from sdcard, your data should stay.
Hi, which version are your phone in, A2017 or A2017U? Seems same problem with my phone......Have you tried flash your phone?
A2017U stock b32, not custom rom.
What do mean flash my phone, can I do that with stock rom?
Will it delete all my data?
I hade that problem before I ota update to b32, and still have it..
Thanks for your answer! You can back up your personal data to your phone'account,then try to factory reset.
I am having issues with the fingerprint sensor reading my finger but I was able to add a new finger.
Thank u guys,
I've found a fix!
For some reason "don't keep activities" on developer mode was "on", turn it "off" fixed the issue.
Glad to hear that, good luck!
Thanks for the tip, I had the same problem, but thanks to you it is solved.

Screen problem

Hi everyone,
To flash the last rom (nightly ) of LineageOS ( in Oreo,from the 2 february), i had to put the firmware 5.1.7. After flash this firmware i was able to flash the ROM but it makes my phone extremely slow and with screen issues (i can still use the tactile but the screen doesnt follow).
I restored but the problem stills then i put le last stable ROM from Oneplus on android pie (9.0.3). It is a bit better (still really slow) and after a moment i get now like a white noise (same as on TV but with color moreover) by wink ( was more and more often on Google Maps), I had to reboot cause i couldnt use more my phone.
Thanks you in advance !
Ps : I've got TWRP from siankatabg and i'm not rooted , if you want me to send log tell me how pls.
Up :good:

Flash codework's TWRP for Pie. After that reboot into recovery, wipe everything down and use clean flash instructions for your OTA. It should be able to fix any issue you were having. If not let me know.
Yes i followed the clean flash way (it didn't resolve my issue) but my issue occured before i flash pie, when i flashed lineageOS 15.1 with the firmware 5.1.7 required (which i flashed too). A restoration didnt change that issue.
I tried with the TWRP from codework but it doesnt recognise my internal stockage.
Thanks of your time.

Hi, try wiping everything down with the new TWRP, after that reboot into recovery once more. Install last normal working OOS to see if that helps you. If not maybe it is hardware issue? Let me know once you wiped and installed the last working OOS on it.
I have installed multiple roms and firmware updates on my device with codework's TWRP and never had big issue like this. In my opinion best option for you to trace your steps back to the last working version of your os and try learning what might have gone wrong.

My issues seem gone since few weeks with the last OTA (it very rarely happens now). I don't know what caused that even if i use my backup.
Thanks for your support !

Accelerometer Issue - Fix is to do factory recovery, but I am running TWRP and...

I just started having an accelerometer issue. Suddenly my device started vibrating and turning the flash light on and off. Turns out the accelerometer was triggering the flashlight gesture. It is also screwing up my ability to use my camera because it thinks my phone orientation keeps changing. The only fix that I have found online is to do a factory reset but I am running TWRP and Nougat flashable stock build from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/twrp-flashable-stock-builds-t3813351
I have tried flashing a backup I have from a couple months ago but that didn't help. Any advice on how to proceed is greatly appreciated. I do want to move up to Oreo but haven't taken the plunge yet because I need to research the issues with IMEI disappearing or something to that effect. I will do some research and maybe try to re-flash the Nougat stock build that I am running and see if that helps, after I backup all data.
Fixed it. Downloaded the build i was using and flashed it and it resolved the accelerometer issue.

Mi a1 touch issues

Hi,
I was on stock Pie firmware on mi a1. I tried to install twrp recovery in my device and somehow messed it up while flashing stock roms and all those things. Now my touch is not working properly. I can flash stock pie rom via fastboot method, but cannot go through setup process because my touch is a bizzare. I then tried to flash stock oreo and nougat firmwares and stuck in bootloop. I'm even tried booting into TWRP to see if anything would help, but the touch issue seems to affect twrp as well. Please help me out with this.
Thanks.
Do you fixed your problem? I don't know what happened but after I flashed the stock ROM the touch screen is useless. I already flashed everything in miflash and the screen is still broken... I don't know what to do, help pls
Hi!
I already fix a similar problem on my phone.
After a screen replacement, I had a touch-screen issue which was detecting the touches, but at a pseudo-random position.
The solution that worked for me was to flash the first stock nougat image released (September 2017 ), and then to upgrade to pie using the classical way through OTAs.
But you have to be very careful while doing this as you will encounter some kind of weird issues if you do this the wrong way, like lost IMEIs and some others that I don't remember.
You'll find some tutorial on how to downgrade from Pie to Oreo and then I don't remember well but I think you will be able to flash directly android one 7.1.2.
I hope this will solve your touchscreen issue (let me know if that worked for you or if you have any other problem occurring)

How to fix Sensor gyro,proximility and fix stabilizer video mi 9t?

hey, I'm asking you two things for help .. :crying:
So, this started when I wanted to change the custom ROM, before I used ROM Miroom, then I switched to ROM Mi Globe, I have followed all the procedures ..
After I changed to the latest version of Miglobe ROM, suddenly the sensor on my 9T Mi completely died, the gyroscope, the Proximility sensor all didn't work.
And the second problem is that the stabilizer on my 9t mi camera is not as smooth as the default stock ROM, I see the difference, on the custom ROM, the stabilizer on my camera when I record, there is almost no stabilizer effect on the camera..
now I use the stock ROM mi 9t global version 11.0.4, and it does not affect the two problems above .. I feel tired because I have not found the answer
is there any solution ? thank you
Your persist partition got corrupted. Did you do a backup before installing the custom ROM?
no, I never backup persist. every time i replace a different rom i don't experience this problem.
well atleast you know that next time you will.
You can try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omjoGI3VpPM&t=169s
Basically do a backup of persistbck partition and flash it to persist partition. Altho it my not work. If you expirience some bad behaviour than flash the original (broken) persist back and you will be where you started. If this dont fix your issue than you will have to flash persist.img from fastboot rom. You will lose L1 DRM permanently after doing so.
