Just got this, and it upgraded me to oos 11. Fingerprint doesn't work well, though I have a screen protector. Seemed to work ok before the upgrade. Trying to figure out what to do. Of course, I don't know which info here is up to date. Normally I'll ditch the stock os, but oos is actually pretty good and customizable enough. I'd still like root, and would like the option to try out a ROM and go back to stock if needed. I'm sim unlocked currently, not sure if the bootloader is unlocked (though I assume not since I got an otan upgrade). What's the best course of action. Bonus points if I can do a reasonable backup without root (or root and then backup)
Did you try simply deleting your fingerprint(s) and re-creating them? Also, try it without the screen protector, especially if it's not the original screen protector from the manufacturer (when programming new fingerprints and when using FP)
You don't have any issues with persist.img (or anything else) or the FP sensor wouldn't work at all (you'd receive an error saying FP hardware not found or something extremely similar)
Edit: Please,please, please make a backup of your persist.img before it eventually gets corrupted and with no backup you could wind up with a paperweight that even loses its IMEI.

I've got a Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard) that is stuck on the first splash screen - the one with the Cingular image on the background displaying the IPL/SPL/GSM/OS information (image here)
I've flashed with the "button rom", the "wizard love rom", and tried the method to flash with a different rom to a CID locked device. The "button rom" and "wizard love rom" flashed fine, but it still hangs on that splash screen after the flash. I've reverted back to the "official" HTC rom, and it still does this.
The device is NOT CID/SIM unlocked.
This device is NOT under warranty. (A few months out actually, but it was purchased at full retail price without renewing a contract and Cingular seems unwilling to move on any sort of warranty replacement/repair -- big shock huh?)
Is there any hope?
Take out any sdcard/ mini sdcard in the phone and do a Hard Reset.
Button's and wizard are patched Roms,they can be safely flashed to a CID locked phone just like official rom,but no other custom Rom like wm6 will work or flash to a CID locked phone.
Secondly,when you flash,take out the sdcard,it sometimes creates problem in flashing if it needs formatting,and also close/disable any anti virus or firewall and don't surf the net or run any other program,rather try to close down any programs running at the background.
There is no SD Card in the phone, and the SIM card was out when it was flashed.
There have been so many hard resets done to it that it's not even funny.
All unneeded tasks were killed before performing the flash.
I'll try it again tonight (I left the phone at work to give me something to piddle with) just to make sure there wasn't some sort of fluke.
Does anyone think it would be a good idea to just buy an 8125 that has a broken screen or something and replace the innards of my frozen one with the innards of the one with the broken screen?
It isn't crucial that this phone be fixed - it's more of just something for me to fool around with to see if I can get it working. It was actually given to me for that purpose, but if I can get a cheap PDA phone on the cheap, then I'm all for it (even though I'd have to switch carriers - cause I'm pretty sure it won't work with Verizon.)
[EDIT]
I'm gonna try replacing the motherboard battery (I've successfully taken it apart and put it all back together without breaking more than it already is) and I'll report back once I get that replaced. Perhaps this is the problem?
solved it
I just received a replacement G1 and when i use any app that use the tilt sensor it acts like the sensor is stuck that includes games and auto rotate.
I was wondering if there was anyway to test the sensor may it be an app or through the SDK to see if maybe there's a way to reset it or am i going to have to call tmobile and have them replace this one as well?
edit: forgot to mention when i open/close the keyboard it rotates fine (with auto rotate disabled)
I'm rooted with jfrc33
i used a nandroid backup to restore my new phone to the condition of my old phone im going to reflash DREAIMG.nbh to see if maybe nandroid backups dont like new phones or something
edit the 2nd: so it seems after some trial and error that i cant use my nandroid backups from my old phone on this one ( i checked the sticky guide before attempting this and saw no reference to not being able to do so) but as i used 2 different backups that i know worked on my old phone and the motion sensor got stuck i can only assume that the backups are not cross compatible. so ill just have to reinstall everything the old fashion way.
I have the same problem with my Rogers HTC Dream (stock ROM, no root). I will try resetting the phone with the stock ROM and see if that fixes it. If not, it's been less than 30 days that I bought it so I will try exchanging it with another brand new unit to see if my unit is defective.
Well I ended up resetting to factory settings, and that fixed the problem...
you should be able to wipe (factory reset) and everything should work fine, if not then switch it for a replacement.
Title sucks.
I'm getting a new 6p to replace my current 6p to subvert the severe battery drain I'm getting due to extended use. Due to there being very few battery replacement options, and none with decent reviews, I've opted for the 'free' replacement device due to being still in 'warranty'. However, I've rooted and tweaked the hell out of my current phone. So what I want to know, is there a way that I can basically flash the entirety of my old phone to the new phone? Root/tweaks/docs/music/etc. All of it.
I can go through the process of rooting/tweaking again, but it's been months and months since I originally started. I can't remember everything I've done, and I like it the way it is, so I'd rather keep it if possible.
The new phone is already on order with next day shipping (for free, yay!), so battery replacement isn't happening. Would prefer direct flash of some sort. I don't mind a hassle for the complete product. I will attempt a 100% backup using twrp, my current recovery app, but if there's a more comprehensive option I'd like to explore it.
I am looking for a solution as well. I tried a full twrp backup but for some reason on the replacement device it does not let me restore the backup. I have tried multiple ways of pushing the image to the replacement and no go. Even tried to adb pull and push. It does not let me restore it. If anyone responds to this thread to help us out it would be much appreciated.
How did you restore to stock such that the initial warning message on starting the device went away?
Hi all.
Recently I have bought a X720 device. I have tried to add a new fingerprint (EUI OS) and the system returns an error after a low vibration (not a crash, something like "you have to erase your fingerprint first" but there is no fingerprint added). I'm trying with LineageOS and it doesn't work neither (something like "fingerprint cannot be added, try again or use another finger").
What can I do?
I really apreciate any help.
1. Where did you buy the phone?
2. Did you take a video of yourself unboxing the phone and testing out the different features for warranty purposes? If you didn't, that was your first mistake if the fingerprint didn't work on Day 1.
3. This is probably a hardware issue that you should have gotten on camera the moment it occurred. If you bought your device from LeEco U.S., you might be covered under a warranty. Banggood/Geekbuying/AliExpress/etc? Good luck trying to get them to take back the phone....
Always always ALWAYS document issues with a phone you imported from overseas or Chinese phones. A lot of them are produced quickly with cheap components and no quality checking or assurances.
1. Banggood
2. No
3. Could be. Exactly, the message is "fingerprint can't be stored, please remove an existing fingerprint". Is there a location where the fingerprints are stored? In the configuration panel there is no option to erase any fingerprint.
Thanks anyway

Flash all the ROMs and factory images you can EXCEPT 26s (or whatever the x720 equivalent is) to see if the issue is prevalent across all ROMs. Also use sensor-detection apps to see if anything is detected and use logcat to dump your logs here.
It certainly sounds like a hardware issue to me. You should have contacted Banggood the moment the issue came up, instead of rooting the phone....
Hello. Even though this mistake came to me. Are you solved?
Hello everyone.
Well, as stated in the title I really had a week of ****. It started with the theft of my Samsung S7 edge.I am really disgusted
As I really like this phone and the price is interesting now and having a TWRP backup on a USB key I've bought another S7 edge thinking that I could easily reinstall my backup TWRP of my missing phone with all my very valuable data and programs. Unfortunately for now it's total failure. I could actually reinstall my backup but impossible to enter into the phone. I had put after the boot the security by fingerprint plus pin code for the phone and neither function. I am absolutely sure of my pin code, I always use the same but the phone answers me incorrect pin and my fingerprints are not recognized. :crying::crying::crying: I mean that the phone for the first reboot does not accept the fingerprint asks me the code and does not accept it. I tried to flash fingerprint wakeup to be able to use the fingerprint after the first boot but it is even worse the phone say that the fingerprint does not work and that I have to try again later. I specify that I tried the fingerprint with the phone I bought used before installing my backup and that it works properly. In your opinion, is there a way out of this inextricable situation? Is it possible to bypass the fingerprint? Or another solution to recover my data and my programs? Thank you to those who will take the time to read me and to those who will answer me if there are any :fingers-crossed:
