For starters, ive been using the same lockscreen pin on ALL of my devices for the past3 years, I know im using the right one. I recently installed the Evolution ROM and set it up with fingerprint and PIN. Fingerprint was working just fine, I rebooted the phone after installing a magisk module and now its telling me the pin for the lockscreen and TWRP is wrong. Again, I only use ONE pin and its telling me its wrong. Tried deleting the locksettings.db file to take off the screen lock and that worked but now phone just stays on "Phone is starting" and TWRP is still excrypted but lets me see all of my files, correct storage amount, and install zips.
When you installed did you format data?
I know this says Lineage, but it works for most custom ROMs, post #2 has the cliff notes version: [Guide]Installing Lineage
As for the locksettings.db, this isn't like older Android devices. You can't just do that, it doesn't fix the problem here.

Recently I made a backup before installing a ROM on my oneplus 2. When I was doing it I selected the Boot, System, Data partitions. Then after I restored it everything was working fine except when I was trying to type in my password(not SIM password) it seemed to just restart the UI, but the strange thing was that the Finger print sensor was working I could unlock it that way. So I tried to go in to security setting after that and that also made my UI restart and just threw me back to the home screen. So my question is what mistake did I make when making the backup and how not to make it again?
Perhaps your persistant-partition (where fingerprint data and other security stuff is stored) is damaged. There's an persistant.img which you can flash in fastboot to restore it somewhere here on the op2 forum which you can find if you search.

But when I install oxygen OS image it works, it just doesn't work when I restore it from a backup.

Were you on CM13 and installed the H2OS MM firmware? If so, I ran into a similiar thing. You'll may need to flash the Revert2Lollipop to fix.

No, I was making a backup of oxygen OS 2.2.1 before installing Resurrection Remix.
So I just updated Magisk from v11 to v12 and my phone is totally douched up. After rebooting there's an "Unable to use fingerprints" message at the bottom of the screen, the touch screen is janky and my unlock pattern no longer works. The screen goes to sleep randomly too and then comes on without being touched. On the off occasson that the unlock pattern DOES work, the screen loads with no icons, just the page dots and status bar with my wallpaper and nav buttons. Uninstalled Magisk and got the same. Rebooted after uninstall, same thing. I guess I'll be reflashing the ROM, but this is a huge pain in the ass.
Same happened to me on ls997 but i dirty flashed my rom. It fixed the issue without losing anything. Not sure witch carrier you have or witch rom.
Well VS995 and H918 seem safe to update magisk on. Ive seen multiple people have 0 issues with it. Maybe a bad download? Never had that happen while updating magisk :|
Sounds more like a system issue. Id try reflashing your rom and see if that works
Maybe I could get some help, long shot but maybe. I have been flashing roms for quite awhile, on 5+ phones to be exact. I can get EVERYTHING to work and run perfect except fingerprint only worked on first custom ROM flash, now none work. At all. When I try to add a fingerprint, It brings up the fingerprint image on screen and even reacts to me pressing but it will not register a fingerprint. No errors like, "partial fingerprint" or "Fingerprint not recognized" nor any confirmation. I've fastbooted back to several versions of OOS(9.0.11,9.0.12,etc.) on both partitions and tried and tried. Nothing. It still works 100% on stock. The weird part about custom now is when it tells me to setup a fingerprint, it says its located on the back of the phone but I remember my first custom flash said it was on screen.
I know the support is still new for custom with FP but nobody seems to be commenting these issues. Is it normal for right now?
Any support appreciated!

Did you solve your problem?
Which custom rom are you trying?
Did you flash the stock rom from the fastboot Rom Zip with the flash_all.bat way?
Before you flash a custom rom you should check the features lists/search the thread.
Most devs post in the OP if fingerprint works or not. And 9/10 the question has been asked and answered in the thread a few times.
I've done the flash_all_partitons.bat to go to complete stock. And nah it's not fixed, just living without it for now. I'm on luisroms RR build. I've tried I think just about all of them, no go.
And I have checked features and comments, why I'm posting here in questions, not in rom threads. All custom roms support FOD fingerprints now. Just not my phone it seems.
Weirdly TWRP can't decrypt my data on custom roms at all even though they support it. Thinking something the fastboot flashes don't touch is messed up somehow. Idk
I am having the same issue on the current Candy ROM. Screen flashes as if capturing a fingerprint but never does. FP is supported according to the dev and no one that I saw had this issue in the ROM thread. FP reader did work with OMNI and stock, of course. Thanks in advance for any help!
hello, i flashed the lightrom in twrp and started having some issues, when setting up the phone i can no longer setup any fingerprints also when setting up a pin it will accept it then keeps saying try again when entering the pin or just will not accept any pin. i've had a good look online as to see what the problem is but cannot find anything about the problem i am having. I have the viperOS installed and the pin and fingerprints works great. Been using lightrom for months so not sure why this has happened. would be great if someone can help me out with this problem. thanks
Still having this issue with not been able to set a pin and not been able to setup my fingerprint scanner. Does anyone know what's up with this. I have viperOS installed and have both pin and fingerprint set. But once I install lightrom I can no longer set any screen lock apart from swipe or no lock. Hope someone can help.
well after a couple of days i have now managed to fix my problem. my /efs must of been corrupted, after looking online i found out no working pin or fingerprint and many other problems can be caused by /efs corruption, also i could ring out but my mobile data was no longer working either. all this because of /efs corrpution. luckly i had my efs backed up. after again installing light rom both my pin and fingerprint and mobile data or now fully working.
