Fingerprint sensor non-functional - Xiaomi Mi MIX Questions & Answers

A few weeks ago the fingerprint sensor on my Mi MIX randomly stopped working. After inquiring I discovered that this is a common issue that can be resolved by reflashing a rom. I was on MIUI before this but decided I wanted a change so I flashed LOS partly in the hope that this would resolve the fingerprint sensor issue but it still appears to be non-functional. I can't find it in the menu, which is just the same as with MIUI where it one day randomly stopped working and disappeared from the menu. Is there anything I can do about this?

Update your firmware by flashing a standalone firmware zip. Try matching the dates of firmware/rom.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry but I'm not sure exactly what this would entail. Could you tell me what I need to read up on? I'm on the latest LOS build, 2018-06-18 15.1. I've flashed TWRP too.

I tried flashing it via recovery and get an error message. I'm not up on exactly how firmware works, but is the issue not that this was designed for MIUI and I'm running LOS?

What was the error exactly? Miui roms have got matching(compatible) firmware packages inside the zip. Non-miui roms don't have it. Firmware is basically, the package which contains modem/radio and some essential parts for the device. When i flashed an older firmware on my current rom, fingerprint menu suddenly disappeared, which is similar with your situation. That's why i suggested it. Which twrp you're using? I prefer you to use multirom twrp or blunden/raupe twrp to avoid flashing error, i'd link them later on.
Edit: Blunden twrp in extras folder: https://mega.nz/#F!ywg1kbZL!HitRlVcDhzT2GAwbLXWbxQ

[ROM] [MM] Chinese CM 13 (Unofficial) Redmi Note 3 (SD)

I created this thread because this ROM is been discussed in lot of others threads. So let's give it a separate dedicated place .
This ROM is for for advance users only. If you don't know what you're doing, don't even think of trying. Proceed at your own risk.
Problem you may face:
Will relock your bootloader.
You may not be able to restore your previous backup.
It is working great for some people and for some people it's a nightmare.
You tell me.
Why you should install it, there are 2 reasons.
You miss Finger Print Sensor
You miss Finger Print Sensor a lot.
Fingerprint unlock performance is amazingly faster than offical MIUI. And in case you don't miss Fingerprint sensor , I don't see any point of flashing this ROM. Instead go here [CYNOGEN MOD 13 ]and install my favorite ROM from one of my Fav developer @Santosh
Working:
RIL
Audio
Camera
Infrared
Finger Print Sensor
And everything except things mentioned in "not working"
Not working:
GPS
May be some other things.
Here's the offical thread. It's in Chinese language so you may need to use Google translator unless you know Chinese.

flash a miui rom then reunlock, you need to replace the emmc_appsboot from here with the one in 5.1.1

Can you explain step by step, if you don't mind.
safest way would be to dl fastboot ROM from miui, flash it via miflash. then simply unlock BL again using MI unlock, flash recovery as you did before and you re good to go. fastboot rom will revert everything on ur phone like it was when u bought it. rooting/unlocking you'll need to do again, but hes everything will be working as it should.

Use the newest MiFlash Unlock tool (v1.1.1111.11231) from this thread.
Sometimes, you have to try several times in order to unlock your phone.
Oh, and I only can unlock my phone when I use the original cable that came with the phone, other cables shows me the 50% error.

Uh, the same as the others?
You can read the source in the original thread on the Taiwan's MIUI forum. Me personally still runs LineageOS 14.1...
I'm also getting the "Could not verify package" error when trying to flash it via the Updater app. I cannot flash it via MiFlash because I cannot access EDL Mode and I do not have unlocked bootloader....
Getting the 50% "account is not the same" error while trying to unlock, because I'm at the Global Stable ROM...
I'm trying to install dev ROM to be able to unlock bootloader, however I can't seem to do that, since I cannot access EDL mode anymore.

Yes, thank you. But it is not the same thing.
I do not understand. I've never seen a global weekly ROM for Mi 5S. Is this official? I'm actually using MIUI.eu at latest build and I'm kinda unsatisfied with battery life, so I want to know how this misterious build behaves.
Besides, I'd like to know what should I exactly do to install this build, and how can I get access to future ones, cause there is not any link on MIUI official forum.

No anything big for me, just the fingerprint scanner wouldn't act as a home button sometimes (I had to long press it once, and then press it again to trigger the home button function, but not all the time).
Other peoples report different things tho, like not be able to boot, or the screen is buggy (IIRC, if you had the LG screen, not JDI), or the signal is unstable . But it's been great for me so far...

I have so many random reboots.
The screen becomes unresponsive after a reboot, and I have to force reboot again to get the touchscreen back!
Aside from that, the fingerprint scanner is a BIG hit or miss. Most of the time it doesn't respond at all. I am surprised that no one else is having these issues. Could be my device

That's because you have LG LCD variant as me. The usual variant are those with Jdi LCD
is it global or Chinese? I don't know Mi 5s's global dev Rom.

Unofficial LineageOS 15.1 for Mi 6X (Wayne)

How come nobody here talk about this ROM by Isaac Chen? Was hoping to hear what other people say about this?
I'm currently using this (2018/10/02), but not able to upgrade to the 2018/11/25, got into boot loop, been try many methods, clean/dirty flash, update to later firmware, remove add-on.
I think he's the same person that maintain the Official TWRP?

Correct @TingyiChen builds this unofficial LineageOS and also maintains the official TWRP and AOSP EXtended for Wayne. Thanks for your hard work supporting this phone.
I'd love LineageOS to go official.

If you're waiting on LineageOS don't hold your breath. Go check out Mokee, it's LineageOS based with added features and nightly releases.

You could try the "Mi AI Button Remapper" magisk module by Serbinhio. I use it and haven't noticed any problems with 10.2.26.0. You can find it in "Xiaomi Mi 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods" here, can't link it

I don't have problems with the 10.2.26 EEA either.
Try flashing the whole rom instead of just the OTA, that might solve problems without losing data.
- I couldn't flash or download the OTA due to root, flashing the whole rom in TWRP did upgrade.
>> You don't need to be unlocked or rooted to flash the whole rom <<
It's available on XDA somewhere

Thank you, but I'd rather just live with that bug than getting stuck in a bootloop or sth with locked bootloader ? Are u sure flashing the whole rom wouldn't wipe my data though?

Coming back to Android - How to flash global rom via twrp on a magisk rooted mi9

Hey guys,
coming back to android after several years of using apple smartphone devices at work. (was active here when the htc magic was launched)
So far I was able to read myself in on how things run these days. I was able to go through all the hoops, got the device unlocked, decrypted - used a users video guide from the forum here to install twrp for recovery - rooted the device with magisk and was happy to be able to use the apps that needed root.
Now I am sitting here with the first ota update after the flash: MIUI V10.2.26.0.PFAEUXM Stable 2.2G and I am getting triggered by the popups to update (taskbar, icon symbol) - I clicked on update and when I reboot I get into twrp not the stock recovery, seems legit cause he awaits a xiaomi flash but boots into twrp.
My question now is:
can I update the miui from twrp if I have the zip file without loosing my data? would be a pain to setup all the apps again and I am a bit too uncertain to test this now.
best regards
Lucin
If it's the same rom base but only an update then yes..... Meaning global rom to global rom update.... EU ROM to EU ROM UPDATE then yes!!! Just update through TWRP and you won't lose data

Ok - Thank you that is exactly what I want to do - just tried it and unfortunately I get some Errors. See attached photo. Someone can enlighten me?
Could it be due to me restarting from the Update window from miui? Maybe I should try to get the rom separetly and save it on the device in another folder?
