Camera focus working ONLY after a factory reset/firmware repair!

Hi guys,
First of all, sorry for my really bad use of the English language;
Second: I recently switched from a Nexus 6P to an E6553 (because...reasons), and I'm really feeling home with my new smartphone.
The only thing is driving me crazy is...the camera focus.
What's the problem? Simple: it doesn't work, I'm sure it's a software problem and I'll let you know why I think this.
Just after the Setup Wizard, the camera works, and works really really well (it shots awesome pics!). Focuses even little objects such as insects, without the littlest issue. An example is the first attachment: I shot that pic just after a factory reset.
But the problem comes when I restore my apps, my photos and then reboot the phone. Then, the focus literally DIES. No way to get it working, it just stucks. End.
The only way to get it working is...formatting the phone another time and then never reboot it again!
I tried a factory reset from setting, a software repair via Xperia Companion, I even tried to refash the stock ROM through Flashtool (which...simply stucks at "Writing data", and the only thing I can do is repairing the software with XC).
Nothing to do: the camera works flawlessly after a reset/repair/flash, but after a reboot it becomes unusable.
And focus isn't the only problem (as it was a little one ????) : opening the Video Mode in camera makes the device freeze, meanwhile using third party apps for the camera makes me see an huge amount of glitches. The strange thing is that everything works without issues until a reboot, so it's certainly a software bug, but I don't know related to what. And no, it's not an app or something I installed: focus doesn't works even when booting in Safe Mode or creating a new user from settings.
And no again, bootloader is not unlocked, it isn't even unlockable, so no DRM Keys fault.
What you suggest me to do? I really love that phone, but using it with this camera is just impossible.
Uh, last details: I'm on the latest firmware, 32.1.A.1.185, Customised IT (Italy). I tried to flash another firmware (CE1) but as I said before, it stucks on "Writing data".
Thanks in advance.

Today I'm going to send it in warranty for replace the camera. It will be back in a couple days, I'll let you know if the bug is solved.

I have focus problem too.
E6533, .185
unlocked bootloader--->flashed rootable kernel--->TWRP--->root--->flashed drm
After all those steps bootloader is now locked. Everything works fine except rear camera focus.

I managed to fix it! The bug doesn't appears if I skip the setup wizard and I log in my Google account in a second time. All is working well, and I performed a reset 3 days ago.
Yay!

I skipped the setup wizard (initial configuration) at the startup after the factory reset, then I added my Google Account opening Play Store.

Thank you for your solution. But it did not work for me. Maybe because my situation is different from yours. I unlocked the bootloader.

Forgot PiN, fingerprint not work after restart

Dear All,
I have a friend with Huawei P9 Plus with this Firmware VIE-L29C636B103, i don't know what is in his mind on that time but unfortunately after restarting the phone he forgot his PIN to unlocked the phone and the fingerprint was not working. As far as i know, the only solution is by Factory Reset the phone, but he did not want to loose his data. Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thank You

No still original without custom recovery. Can i use TWRP to backup first the data ?

The problem is that you not unlock and then root yet. You basically can't use TWRP. If unlock bootloader, the phone will be immediately wipe data.

He or you could've used it to delete ". key" -files through adb. But that is only useful to have access to the data. You can't set new fingerprints or delete any of them because he must know his forgotten password for it. So it would only be a temporary solution.
Unlocking the bootloader never erased my data. It couldn't cause of some failure appeared at let's say 30%. But I'm not certain that the failure appears also on his phone. Which leads to my suggested solution:
He should try to remember the password and include any typos(yes, typos. My pin was 85320 but it also happened that i typed two times the false pin. The outcome was 85350. Huawei's layout was kinda bull**** and vulnerable for that type of failures. At least to me.) As I know it must be a PIN, not a password. If that fails get rid of the data and make a factory reset.

Thank you all,
Today i connect the P9 Plus Phone USB to HiSuite in Windows 10, i just leave this around 5 minutes and suddenly it connected to HiSuite automatically. Now i'm still backing up the data pictures, etc. Still wondering why in windows 10 it can connected automatically than in windows 7 After backup finished i'm gonna factory reset the phone.

My mistake on comments on unlocking bootloader will erase date since I mixed up the process. Now I remembered that after unlock, if you proceed further to root the phone, the phone will have to erase the data immediately. No option for you to choose not to erase data during rooting process if not mistaken. That's why I dare not to root again the phone.

Try factory reset

I do...but doesn't solved

Did you flash any ROM on it ? Maybe you tried to downgrade the device from Oreo ?
Today when I tried to find a solution to not installing OTA, I've flashed 7.1.1 as a downgrade. It failed, but after reboot my fingerprint sensor disappeared, too. Then after I reflashed Android 8 it appeared again.

When you did a factory reset did you restore from backup afterwards or set it up as a new phone? If you set it up as a new phone and it still didn't work then I'd say you probably need to contact Motorola and ask about getting it repaired.

Bro i have the same problem

Yes i have same issue
Till yesterday fingerprint sensor was working absolutely fine, and then suddenly it stopped working, then after i tried restarting device but didn't solved. Anyone has the solution then please help me

+1, same problem
i do have the same problem, no fingerprint option in security and the senser is not reacting on anything.
had fingerprints registered and working, but after the first october update the problem occurs.
When i flash back to los 15.1 build from 2018-09-26 the fingerprint sensor works again, option to configure reapears and all already registered prints are there.

Then you need to remove those fingerprints before flashing back to stock

My post was a little unclear, sorry. i am on los 15.1 and do have this issue on any build after 2018-09-26. i already opened up a regression on los jira bug/regression tracker (REGRESSION-2178), but since no one voted for it or seems to have this problem, i though it may be some step i took.
Anyway. in the meantime i tried to clear all fingerprints before flashing but it did not help
(i did not flash back to stock but to los)
I also did a complete factory reset, formatted data/ wiped everything and then did a fresh install of los 15.1 most recent build, but still got the problem.

I bet you still have a fingerprint file somewhere that needs removed..

@bcrichster: Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...
i flashed back to los 15.1 (2018-09-26), removed the fingerprintes and pin, flashed to the most recent version of los 15.1 but it did not work.
flashed the build LOS 15.1 (2018-10-30), then the menu was there and the sensor works!
So my question: where are the fingerprint files on the x4 stored... read about fingerprints and searched on the device, but did not find them...
Is there a difference between Slot A/B regarding the fingerprints?
Thanks

I had the same issue when I first flashed RR room. Ended up flashing back to stock then going through the whole custom ROM setup again. Fixed the sensor and all the other little issues I was having (no headphone sound, etc). Not sure what the underlying issue was but for the sensor, left over files makes sense.

[P BETA] Last OTA update broke the phone

Hey,
I was running Android P Beta, and had an OTA update today.
As it's been said on the beta topic, it apparently put me back on Oreo (the pattern lock is different on P).
But now I can't unlock the phone with the pattern at boot. When I put it the right pattern, it gives me a black screen, and ask me to unlock again.
So nothing's coming up, no wifi, no backup etc.
Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this **** ?
Thanks guys.

Thanks for your answer.
I know I could do that, but I'd like to be able to get some data back first (like whatsapp messages).
Whichi is why I'm trying to find a workaround, but so far it's not really a success.

have you tried android unlock my phone method?
Go to google and sign in. Then go to find/locate my device and then check the option unlock my phone. It will help surely.

i think that OTA update on Android P is in real "Android 0 8.1 June Update", as mentioned here, if this true that's the reason why you have problems

How To Guide x70 Pro Plus Origin OS to FunTouch 36.9.3

Foreword: My time with Vivo has come to an end. After flashing a wrong devicecfg and accidentally rebooting my device it is now in a hard bricked state.
Vivo has locked down EDL, there is absolutely no way to flash or backup anything in EDL mode without the official Tools (namely Vivo AFTool 5.9.80).
Vivo India refers me to Vivo Germany - Vivo Germany has outsourced its customer support to bulgaria.
The people on the other side of the line know absolutely nothing about the technical aspect and refuse to put me through to anyone with any kind of knowhow.
Due to their anti consumer and anti repair attitudes I will not buy another Vivo phone.
With this out of the way: You might end up like me with a hard brick. Or without signal.
Even if this will not save you from a hard brick I can not stress this enough: Make a BACKUP! And backup your data. This will wipe your phone.
This process is IRREVERSIBLE unless you have a split ROM of the chinese Firmware or your own Backup.
THIS or BL UNLOCK will break your portrait mode. No more bokeh, neither in Origin OS nor FunTouch.
Do NOT flash fsg, modemst1 and modemst2. They are commented out in the COMMANDS file.
You do this at your own risk. As said before this might brick your device.
Unlock your Bootloader
Backup your Partitions
Download my Flash Folder and Extract it: Android File Host
Open 01COMMANDS.txt and read the instructions
Open a command shell in the same folder that you can find 01COMMANDS.txt in
Run the given commands in blocks or one after the other
If you do not have signal after flashing you might have to erase modemst1 and modemst2 partitions, so that they get replaced by the backup in fsg.
A magisk flashed boot.img and adb-modded recovery is included so you can flash it after booting up FunTouch once and backup all your partitions again.
Thanks again to @Pervokur for helping me along the way. There is definitely an easier method that involves less risky flash operations.
My phone died on the cross while I was trying to figure it out, so maybe someone else will pick up the torch.
I will not be able to offer any kind of support.

RIP @Killuminati91's Vivo, who died for the cause.
Sorry to hear that, man, you were so close to what looked like an easy switch between ROMs.
I know you said you were no developer but you are still a leap ahead of most of us here. Long do we miss the good old days where ROMs, kernels and pure innovation shortly followed our much-wanted phone when flashing a few ROMs a week was normal.
Thanks for all your help, perhaps one day there will be a way to recover your phone.

Many thanks, may I relock the bootloader when i finished change to Global rom?

how did you relock the bootloader, does the portrait mode work again?

does any one change the origin os /ocean into funtouch？
version？ how to relock after it can switch to funtouch？
by the way, I saw the post on the taiwan vivo phone of fb
the second hand goods, it wrote he change the origin os into funtouch
and he sell this service , it charge 2000 nt dollars in taiwan.
maybe someone can save your phone.

I think the only problem that keeps the phone from being recognized as official FunTouch is dm-verity.
In theory both phone versions have the same exact hardware.

i'm fail in step 2 :RECREATE DYNAMIC PARTITIONS) & step 3 :FLASH DYNAMIC PARTITIONS)

I thought you fixed your issue with I think wifi or your signal, and you were good to go, and you successfully swapped over to Funtouch?? Was there other issues that you encountered that you continued to mess with it and caused your phone to get bricked? Good job getting this far and sharing the info!

I wanted to find a smoother solution for the dm-verity message and the constant "update to fix broken system prompts" by flash-disabling it. Noticed that portrait mode was not working anymore, so I wanted to return to OriginOS, check if it works and return to FunTouch with a more streamlined, simpler solution to write a guide. Signal was fixed but it sometimes would not connect for the first 10 minutes after a reboot.
When switching back to FunTouch I flashed boot, recovery, vendor_boot, and the vbmeta's while trying to figure out what exactly is needed to get the device recognized as IN. Was not working so I tried devcfg and accidentally rebooted before flashing more partitions. -> Bootloop without recovery / fastboot.

did you try using the OriginOS's camera app on FuntouchOS ? I find it when u use the front facing camera, the portrait mode still work. In the other hand, the back camera is not working in portrait mode. I follow your guide and using the FuntouchOS about 2 days. Everything works fine, except the portrait mode and the AOD. Cant use it anymore.

Oh I see, now that is weird that the portrait mode is not working. So even if you switch not all functionality has returned. Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully someone can continue your work, and find a solution for a seamless transition.

Yeah, returning to Origin did not fix portraits either, so flashing the cam apk itself wouldnt work. I am not sure what exactly is causing it, I just noticed it after flashing FunTouch. Maybe it is disabled by unlocking the BL or a hidden eFuse? Dont know if its possible to get it back.
Im in contact with someone in china, vivo service center remote flashing is my last straw to get this back to work but I doubt that they will do that. A cracked AFTool 5.9.80. would solve all of ours problems but we will not see that for at least half a year i think. I've been gone from android for a few years - all the hurdles surprised me, manufacturers locking down their bootloaders and EVEN edl is kinda disappointing.
