Fingerprint reader not working anymore after miui 12 update - Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers

I used my phone with MIUI 11 xiaomi.eu beta 19.12.26 ROM, but a few days ago xiaomi.eu MIUI 12 just came out so I wanted to try it out.
I had twrp which couldn't decrypt the data so I had to change the recovery to the latest orange fox first.
I flashed MIUI 12 straight from recovery but I got bootloop. So I made a format data and wipe dalvik, cache, and data. Then I installed ROM again.
It booted properly to the system and I had to make an initial android setup. The problem was I couldn't make this configuration.
When it comes to adding a fingerprint, it reacts to touch and lights up but it is not reading or saving the fingerprint. And with MIUI 12 you just can't skip this step so there was no way to get into desktop.
So I went into recovery again, made format data and wipe dalvik, cache, and data, and after that, I've installed previous MIUI 11 ROM. Even the next format and wipe right after installation.
MIUI 11 makes you able to skip adding a password and fingerprint so I got into desktop but the fingerprint reader still doesn't work. It is not usable anymore.
Before the MIUI 12 update, it worked flawlessly, even right before update like 5 minutes or so. I never had any issues with it.

So sad

If anyone encountered this problem (fingerprint not working) here is what I did and it worked:
- with TWRP always bootloop - system will not start
- with OrangeFox recovery, system boots but reader not working
So I abandoned Xiaomi.EU and went to https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/pyxis/ and downloaded fastboot ROM of Global Stable. Then I flashed it with MiFlash tool. Now System boots and fingerprint reader works again. It is with stock recovery now.
When it finally worked on global, I tried again flashing Xiaomi.EU but the situation didn't change. On TWRP bootloop, on OrangeFox no fingerprint. So I stay with global for now.

Disable encryption on MiMax2 after Dot OS Install

Hello All,
I was on Stock MIUI 9 Global ROM (rooted with TWRP 3.2.1.0 OFFICAL) which was getting slower by the day. One day all of a sudden, I started getting ads on my lockscreen which was the final straw. So I installed dot OS 7.1.1 for Mi Max2. When setting up dot OS, I setup the lock screen pattern without knowing that it was turning ENCRYPTION ON.
I got bad sound in dot OS 7.1.1 ROM (tinny sound with echo), I was not happy so I did a full wipe of all partitions EXCEPT internal storage. and then installed Xiaomi EU ROM 9.5 Stable.
The issue:
TWRP and Normal Android BootUp on Xioami EU asks me for entering pattern every single boot. It asks for: Enter pattern to start android. On TWRP recovery boot: TWRP asks me to enter pattern and then decrypts phone.
How can I DISABLE Encryption without doing a full wipe + format of data partion?
Just to confirm: I remember the pattern, my phone works perfectly in Xiaomi EU ROM, I just want to disable encryption without doing a full WIPE+FORMAT+SETUP of my phone.
Thanks.

Honestly I didn't find any OTHER WAY without a Full Wipe!
TBH.. I'm kinda glad that someone else had this scenario.. :cyclops:
(Cause I had)
Here's how I overcame this issue..
1. First I Cleared everything on my phone using twrp and wiped everything **literally everything**
2. Then using fastboot on my PC I did this:
fastboot boot -recovery-( fastboot boot twrp.img)
[This will temporarily boot into TWRP]
3. And I wiped everything all over again
[Don't ask me why I did that but it worked for me]:silly:
4. Installed TWRP again using fastboot
5. Flashed a new ROM!
Hope this helps you!
Cheers mate!:fingers-crossed:
Thanks for that. I do NOT want to do a full wipe as I don't have access to Windows PC to do this (I'm on a MAC and don't have adb and drivers for MI MAX2).
TBH, the pattern is very annoying especially on restart as I have to wait for it and then wait some more for restart.
Worse case scenario, I'll a full backup of /data internal storage to an SD CARD, WIPE ALL Parittions and try again.
I'm almost tempted to reinstall dotOS and then NOT select a pattern when setting it up, you think that'll work?

Thanks a lot!
I was having a problem installing couple of ROMs with hanging on logo screen.
I was wiping everything and nothing was helping until I formatted data partition in twrp, it is not only wipe, it is format where you have to confirm writing 'yes' if you really want to.
Then everything started to work!
Thanks again!

TWRP 0mb internal problem fix without wipe?

hi, i accidentally updated to miui10 global beta 8.7.12 (i thought is was stable since it got to the miui mix download page)
i am using twrp 3.2.1 with a mouse for upgrade (since that version have touchscreen issue)
and i can not upgrade with 3.0.2 smarty which i usually use it shows eror 7
after i have sucessfully upgraded to miui 10 global beta 8,7,12
i flash the 3.0.2 smarty twrp and then i realized it had 0mb internal
i just wanted my mi mix to be rooted and do NOT want the factory wipe (since i read that fixing the 0mb problem is to factory wipe)
i am using this phone for work and do not want to lose any data on this phone.
can anybody please give me a suggestion?
i am flashing the 3.2.1 twrp via fastboot
in my case, the twrp did not even ask for password, it just wouldnt read the internal.
does rolling back to miui 9 9.5.60 via flashboot will do the trick? because i tried to roll back once via system update to 9.6.10
at the first it had notification that my data would be lost(so i cancel itu). but when i try again, it recognise the official 9.6.10 as custom room.
update : i have upgraded to miui10 8.7.19 and flash with raupe-blunden 15.1 TWRP
the after the fasboot reboots to twrp, it works fine and the internal is fixed.
so i install superSU, and it worrks
BUT after reboot to system, the root is gone and the recovery reverts to stock miui recovery
since i have able to enter internal storage (even if it is only the first time)should i revert to miui9 9.5.60 (the last stable rom for nougat)? some say taht the oreo miui can not be roll back, it will brick your device
please advise,
warm regards,
ziggy
Each time you Run MIUI it will encrypt the device again.
Try installing the no-verity-opt-encrypt and try......
If u switch to a different ROM it doesnt encrypt the phone so hence allowing you to use the TWRP again.
I recommend the RR rom / Pixel ROM

CanĀ“t install Xiaomi.eu

Hi, im not able to install xiaomi.eu. It installs fine in TWRP but then it reboots and nothing happens it just stays on the first screen and after reboot it goes to recovery, i was on Xiaomi.eu stable before.
Try formatting data in TWRP. That will erase all your personal stuff in the phone, tho.

Mic not working during calls - Mi 9

Hey everyone - long time lurker/researcher, but generally good at searching for answers without bugging anyone. This one has me stumped.
I have a Mi 9 CN model (6/128) that has been unable to make phone calls with the main mic without having to toggle Speakerphone on/off
I've tried 3 different custom roms (Xiaomi.eu, Pixel Experience, Evolution), and the Global MIUI 11 rom, but nothing seems to help fix it.
I have the newest version of TWRP installed right now (3.3.1-46), I have tried with and without Magisk installed....right now I don't even have TWRP installed at all on the Global rom.
Same happens for my SO's Mi 9 too as well.
Is there something I'm missing? I've tried turning off WiFi Calling/OK Google detection/VoLTE, rebooted, cleared cache/ cleared data inbetween new ROM installs....
Hardware test shows Main and Top as PASS.
Any tips would be appreciated! I feel like I've tried everything possible.
Thanks in advance~

Your TWRP is right.
Try to flash syberia with recommended vendor exactly step by step and of course really clean install with formatted data yes.
If this isn't working I'll think you've got to flash via pc the stock and then again a custom ROM.

I'm actually going to follow the Evolution instructions (just missed the part about flashing EEA)
So i'm using MiFlash with the MIUI11 EEA boot rom file, then I'll do the normal TWRP -> format data -> install Evolution ROM and test.
Thanks!
So it seems like I'm completely out of luck at this point - I've tried basically everything I can think of, and I think something big must be wrong with the phone's file system.
I've followed Evolution's steps to a T (minus MiFlash having an error at the end of the EEA flashing, but the firmware seeming to load fine) and still run into the no Mic issue.
"Flash MIUI11 eea with miflash
Flash vbmeta.img with "fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification" (Download here)
Flash TWRP
Wipe (dont wipe system/vendor)
Format data
Reboot recovery
Flash rom
Reboot system"
Wipe (don't wipe system/vendor) I assume means just a normal factory reset wipe via TWRP, which I've tried.
I've tried both fw+vendor files (the newest for Android 10 and newest from Xiaomi.eu)
Any other last suggestions before I assumed the phone is broken?
Try to flash xiaomi.eu_multi_MI9_9.11.7_v11-10.zip
With miflash and after factory reset.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...iaomi.eu_multi_MI9_9.11.7_v11-10.zip/download
SO! Update here
I was able to use Evolution X's Android 9 instructions to get everything working fine....but everytime I try to duplicate that for MIUI 11 it does not work.
Reboot to recovery
- Flash the latest 9.8.1 vendor image or full stock ROM.
- Reboot to twrp and format data
- Wipe cache/dalvik
- Reboot back to recovery and flash
I tested using the newest Xiaomi.EU Vendor for Android 10 and the stock one with no luck....more thoughts?
Did you try turning off the VoLTE?

Custom Rom flashing problem.

Okay. Am currently on MIUI 11.0.3 (the latest one available for RaphaelIN)
So, the problem am facing is that, when i flash a custom rom, my phone gets rebooted to recovery and sometimes to fastboot(this happens occasionally) and i just simply cant get the rom to load.
Sometimes my phone gets into a state which resembles hardbrick (none of the buttons work, even holding the power button for 10secs doesn't) and after sometimes, usually 15 to 20 mins it restarts itself. This has happened thrice till date and all while booting to system.
The Roms i have tried-
-Pixel experience (unofficial) (android Q)
- Lineage OS 17 (unofficial)
- Havoc OS (both official and unofficial) (both pie and Q versions)
-MIUI (European rom)
I have also tried flashing the chinese, indian and global vendor (all done separately) thinking it was a vendor issue, but it also doesn't work.
Recovery is TWRP latest version, have also used orange fox recovery
Bootloader unlocking was done through the official method and the official app.
Any solutions for this problem and has anyone faced these problems or is it only me?

Consider this an overkill solution that always works for me if I run into issues with other methods. It will wipe everything so backup your data and apps.
Download the latest fastboot Indian MIUI ROM (for anyone else reading this download the ROM that is the same region as your phone)
Fully extract the ROM and flash it - make sure, if you use the Mi Flash Tool, that you change the flash option to 'clean all'
Boot into MIUI once, you don't need to actually go through the set-up, just let it fully load.
Boot the phone into fastboot and install TWRP - I recommend the latest mauronofrio TWRP.
After installing TWRP boot immediately into TWRP.
Format the data partition - don't skip this step.
Wipe cache and dakvik - don't wipe anything else.
In TWRP goto the mount menu and unmount the data partition then mount it again - others would suggested rebooting back into TWRP, either way works, you just need to make sure the data partition is properly mounted after formatting it.
Install the ROM of your choice - either have the ROM on a USB OTG stick, or copy it onto the phone from a PC whilst still in TWRP.
If your ROM doesn't include Google apps and services and you want Google, then install GApps - at the time of writing this Android 10 GApps is still in beta and packages bigger than nano may cause issues, so stick with pico or nano, assuming your installing an Android 10 ROM.
Boot into the ROM.
If you want Magisk, once the ROM has loaded, boot back into TWRP and flash the latest Magisk installer - it is possible to flash Magisk without booting into the ROM first and you'll probably be OK, but occasionally it can cause problems, I can't remember the details, but for the sake of 30 seconds I now boot into the ROM before flashing, just to be on the safe side.
At the time of writing this people have recently reported issues flashing GApps immediately after flashing Havoc 3.0 and recommend booting Havoc before flashing GApps. Although others say they've not had any problems. So if you choose to install Havoc you 'might' have problems if you install GApps without booting into Havoc at least once first.
I've never had problems when following this method.
You didn't format data that's why your rom doesn't boot. Follow Robbos nice guide and you are good to go.:good:

I did format the data partition coz that's one thing I and my friends always do when flashing new rom. I don't exactly remember but i think, the pseudo hardbrick thingy started after i formatted the system, data, cache & internal storage.
I will follow Robbos guide adn keep you guys updated on what happened.
