Fp issue on oreo custom rom

Hello i have recently flashed oreo stock rom after that when ever im trying to install oreo custom roms i end up with no fp .Is there any fix for this fp issue.???
Downgrade to nougat bootloader and modem
restoring an old twrp backup isn't enough right? I need to fastboot flash old firmware? I flashed ore flashable and I have no FP sensor...I restored an old twrp and evrerything works but fp.
Would I need to fully flash an older firmware file OR just the bl/modem? can I use flashfire?

The OP didn't say they had the official 8.1 ROM, they said they had installed official Oreo. AFAIK There is no official 8.1 ROM for Sanders. Some people have taken the OTA for their device and repackaged it into an UNofficial flashable package, but that's not the same thing, and reportedly may be causing problems on EU & US variants, so I wouldn't recommend it.
I have the same problem with my FP reader.
I don't have an official 8.1 ROM (because there isn't one, lol), but I installed stock nougat 7.1.1 (retus, in my case) and then got the OTA upgrade to 8.1, after that fp+VoLTE are 100% working.
Then, as soon as I change to a custom 8.1 (or 9) ROM, VoLTE still works, but the fp is no longer recognized by the system.
If I flash back to stock nougat, FP comes back (and LTE breaks, but can be fixed by installing the 8.1 OTA upgrade again, or by getting to a root terminal and fixing permissions on /persist, I've personally verified both methods to restore functionality (assuming your /persist is unmolested - if it is, you're SoL).
Going from fully working official nougat or official Oreo, to any Oreo (or Pie) custom ROM still seems to break the FP reader again. I'm getting really tired of wiping my device...
Not A Solution #1
As suggested here: With FP + VoLTE working under official 8.1 OTA update, I installed TWRP & backed up /EFS, then installed my custom 8.1 ROM (Validus final) and restored the backed up /EFS, but instead of bringing my FP back, it just caused bootloop and I had to roll back to stock and start over. I skipped rolling back to Nougat before flashing custom, is that important? Why would it matter?
Not A Solution #2
After installing the custom 8.1 ROM I tried flashing the Nougat FP base. It had no effect.
Maybe A Solution? UPDATE: YES. A SOLUTION.
As suggested in this post:
1 - download the latest nougat stock rom (link removed - the correct one will vary depending on your device, up to you to obtain the correct firmware);
2 - unzip the above file and cd into the resulting directory;
3 - reboot your phone in fastboot mode;
4 - from terminal (linux or windows, in linux I had to do it as root user, using sudo), type:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img <enter>
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin <enter>
fastboot reboot <enter>
By doing above steps, your phone should get fingerprint options back.
I did this, it worked, with one additional step - I had a pattern set before. After the fingerprint reader was 'reinstated' the pattern no longer worked. Rebooting into Recovery and flashing lockfix.zip removed the security so that I could set it up again properly. Find lockfix.zip in this post.

Locking the Bootloader

Hello everyone,
as many of you, I also want to lock my bootloader after finding that my X2 Pro bought used few days ago was unlocked and with TWRP installed.
It was stuck to Color OS 6 with security patch updated at february and it had installed Magisk.
I tried to flash Realme UI but I couldn't because it had installed official TWRP and not the right one.
I formatted everything and after some hours of research and trials I managed to install Realme UI with security patches updated (october).
Now, I don't have TWRP but official recovery instead. No signs of Magisk and any other data because I formatted everything few time during my flashing trials.
I don't have fingerprint and face recognition, I think due to the fact the bootloader is unlock, yet.
To overcome this, I found a video-guide used for X2 (not Pro) in which I saw that after flashing the Realme UI, rebooting recovery and formatting data, those sensors worked again but with X2 Pro this procedure won't work.
To recap: I have official firmware and recovery, no fingerprint and face recognition. I think that I can use the official guide for locking the bootloader again as the app says that I can roll-out from the in-depth program.
Was someone in my situation? I mean, locking the bootloader with FP and FU disabled before relocking?
I ask this because I found a thread in which the user said that it was necessary to make FU and FP work again before locking the bootloader.
I had this phone for less than a week and I can't take a decision.
Thank to anyone in advance.
you must now download the FASTBOOT format of Android9 pie rom (6gb) and use REALME FLASHER which will
1. place original recovery
2. flash all partitions and downgrade your device to android pie (Color OS 6.1)
reboot
test you onscreen fb and other sensors while on setup ( IT SHOULD WORK) because you are on stock recovery! and vbmeta.img is untouched
now install DEEP testing and wait, it will check your device (use 4g data sim / NOT WIFI)
click end deep testing!
this will RELOCK your bootloader, (while you are on Original recovery ) and wipe all the data!
now your device is locked again!,
download ROM (recovery rom) from realme site, for latest REALME UI ( this file will be OPPO encrypted 3gb of .0zip) but since you are on stock recovery, you can use it to flash it.
reboot again to the NEWEST Realme ui and check the fingerprint sensor
now install DEEP TESTING APK again and try unlocking the BOOTLOADER, once unlocked the the DATA will be WIPED AGAIN
now you are on REALME UI (latest), stock recovery, no partitions altered and you will be taken to SETUP again,
your FB should work!
join this text and see the guide (xda keep sensoring it so i had to break it)

OMG tahnk you so much for your help.
I didn't receive any notification of your reply so I couldn't answer you before.
Before reading your reply I successfully locked the bootloader with REALME UI on it but FP and FU doesn't work.
I thought that it may be caused by the fact that bootloader was unlocked with Colors OS 6.1 (Android 9) and then I relocked it with Realme UI 1.0 (Android 10).
For this operation I used the official tool usable only with Android 10.
Do you think I should unlock the bootloader again, downgrade to Color OS 6.1, lock the bootloader and only then update my device to Realme UI?
If so, how can I downgrade the Android version? With their flashing tool it can't be done.
Hope you well and thank you in advance for your help.
Dude try this,
Download Realme flash tools here from my Google Drive:
realme_Flash_Tool_V2.zip
drive.google.com
Now download OFP file to use with the flash tool here:

Boot into bootloader and flash it. See if it helps.

Question [Indian Version] Unlocked bootloader, fingerprint stopped working.

Yesterday I unlocked bootloader and tried to install custom rom.
Before that I disabled verity and flashed magisk patched boot.img.
Then I tried to install GSI custom rom.
I even succeeded in the attempt; I was able to install Pixel-experience gsi rom
But then came the issue, I was not able to register fingerprint.
So, I flashed stock rom. Still fingerprint does not work.
I don't have access to MSM flash tool. I tried to flash with italorecife's tool.
I couldn't flash some partitions with it. (Could flash them due to critical partition)
I even relocked the bootloader, still it doesn't work.
I am a newbie, so if someone could guide me on how to use MSM tool, or how to properly flash the stock rom.
Any help is appreciated.

Your device fingerprint hardware need calibration. It can be fixed at service centre.

After removing the GSI rom, flash the PERSIST partition in fastboot inorder to fix your FP problem.
