Just pull it off a little and change the sensor

It comes off easily? Without use of heat gun? Thanks.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P38lightningman:
To pull the screen back you must use a heat gun, but the button just pushes out... Once you have the screen pulled up off of the phone, push the button as if you were using it and it will come out.

I've used CM13 for a long time and got no fingerprint menu anymore in the security settings. Now i have changed to a new oneplus 3 and was able to flash my Z1 back to COS.

The fingerprint sensor seems to be detected but don't work properly. As you can see in the YT Video i think it's some kind of hardware issue.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiFm57WYf24

I've ordered a fingerprint sensor replacement from aliexpress..

I will give an update later on, when the item has arrived an i was able to open the housing.

edit: embedded YT videos don't work for me :/

Same problem here, the sensor just stopped working all of a sudden. first thought software issue, restored a backup from when it was working, but there was no change. Then tested the sensor by adding a new fingerprint, but it doesnt detect anything, it just times out. Hope someone finds a solution...
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Byte_Me:
Yes, Please keep us posted, I am very interested to see if it is reasonably easy to replace the sensor. I think mine might be broken too.

I think now that it might be a firmware issue, trying to figure out how to check and fix
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C-Store:
Hello,

firstly make sure that your firmware is correct. I did a QFIL reflash of the stock ROM, then migrated to my CM backup.

What made my fingerprints work again, was to delete /data/system/users/0/fpdata/user.db and /data/system/0/users/settings_fingerprint.xml.

After this, reboot, and you can register new fingerprints again.

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately there are no such files on my Zuk Z1, I've looked for them using root explorer. I'm on the latest COS 12.1-YOG4PAS9IG. Any other suggestions? My fingerprint doesn't work at all, there are no credentials so I'm unable to clear them. What a piece of **** this phone is, pardon my french.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_Acid:
Have you had success by replacing the sensor? Some weeks ago, my Z1 started doing exactly the same as shown on the YT video and I would like to fix it.

So guys, this was the worst disassembling job i've ever made :D No idea what bad dreams the Lenovo guy had, ho planned the housing of the ZUK Z1.

Fingerpint sensor was replaces successfully and works!!! but unfortunately it is a bit shaky in the housing because of the missing stripe of duct tape right now. Maybe i will fix it later.

[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baptisteba:
Hello all,

it's an hardware problem, my Fingerprint sensor and Home button stopped working 2 month ago and it doesn't worked anymore, so the only thing we have to do is to send the phone to the seller for a warranty replacement.

-If you are not rooted, stock firmware, bootloader locked etc... ---> You can send it NOW

-If you are rooted, custom rom, bootloader unlocked, custom recovery ---> You have to wipe all in your device, flash stock firmware through bootloader and lock the bootloader BEFORE sending it in warranty

Best Regards,

[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtaadicto92:
Hi, i have the zuk z1 with rooted COS 12.1. Yesterday, in the morning, i did a TWRP backup and connected the ZUK to my PC to save the backup. Then yesterday afternoon the fingerprint sensor became imprecise, requiring multiple tries to unlock my phone. Now this morning the sensor has stopped working. When I try to add a new fingerprint it is not detected at all but on two occasions the phone started vibrating continuously as it added a lot of non-existent fingerprints (i didnt have my finger on the sensor) and after 3-4 seconds it crashed and restarted by itself. Then every time I access the fingerprint configuratIon the phone does a soft-reset.

Tried to restart to several backups I did these last two months, but no luck at all. Got the fingerprint configuration menu working again but the fingerprint is not detected.

The phone didn't fall and of course it didnt get wet. I dont know why it stopped working, could it be related to the backup?

edit: soon after sending this message i did a reboot and the fingerprint sensor worked briefly for 3 minutes or so, i could add new fingerprints without problems. then I turned off the screen to test the new unlock fingerprints and didnt work.

Now, 4 hours later, these new fingerprints I saved have completely disappeared. I have now 0/5 stored fingerprints.

Same Issue re fingerprint not working

I have this same issue recently with the fingerprint reader not working suddenly.

A couple of weeks ago the fingerprint reader started acting wonky. Now it doesn't read it completely. My registered fingerprint is also removed so from 1/5 registered fingerprints to 0/5 suddenly without changing any settings. Is the best solution reflashing to another rom? Or is this a hardware defect that wont be going away with any software change?

Fingerprint hardware not available and enrollment incomplete

Hello recently i have been switching roms and the fingerprint started working strangly. At the lock screen sometimes it says fingerprint hardware not available but when i go to entering pin i can use it. Sometimes it does not even react to the finger. When i go to enter a new fingerprint sometimes it says enrollment incomplete. Can you tell me how to check if some app is blocking it or is it hardware problem. Thank you in advance. P.S. i am currently on ressurrection remix n with mm firmware installed if that helps
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongst:
It's mostly a hardware issue, not an app/software problem. Search here in the forum for possible solutions(database removal) or try clear credentials in settings or clean flash other rom. Otherwise your fp reader is going to die like the others you can read here in the forum

[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masanijey:
Hi,

what happen to my ZUK Z1, is that if I try to set a new fingerprint it starts vibrating until I force a restart.

Looking around for a solution, I've seen that this is a very common behaviour for people who have fingerprint reader issues.

I would like to know if the solution above could work in my case, or if the hardware replacement is the only fix to the problem.

In the 1st case: the COS package is no longer available; where can I recover the files needed for that operation?

Thanks

[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mangareds:
can't tell whether you'll get bootloops or not, but if ZUI is flashed then MM firmware is already there... Why don't you take a backup & start from CM13? It'll solve FP issue if it's a software issue...
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talhajamshaid:
Thank you so much.

I first flashed the mm firmware on zui installed. It didn't bootlooped but my u touch stopped working. First it was working but FP hardware was unavailable. I dirty flashed Zui on it and U touch started to work again but FP wasn't.

So you are suggesting that i should clean flash cm 13 first then zui?
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mangareds:
Yes, as it worked for me. There are many other ways mentioned in this thread, but CM13->ZUI->Nougat this process worked for many...it solves not only FP but that old SIM problem too...

I have been finding a lot of mixed reviews on this phone.

My SO is looking for a reasonably priced phone and plan, to replace her qwerty text phone. She is currently on the Verizon network, and gets decent coverage for phone use and text. Data is basically a non-necessity.

From what I looked up on the Samsung website, this phone doesn't appear to use the Verizon network, yet Walmart/straight-talk seems to list it as being a Verizon phone.

It just doesn't seem to add up, based on the frequencies I show listed in the specs.

I've done a lot of googling, and found mixed answers from people via the phone, but can't get a definitive answer on the coverage.

Would someone be so kind as to let me know if this is truly on the Verizon network, while under the Straight Talk plan, and has the same coverage for calls and texts as a standard Verizon phone would have?

I haven't used Nexus devices, but by all accounts Cyanogenmod is pretty close to stock android. I have used Cyanogenmod on a tablet and CyanogenOS (the stock OS based on Cyanogenmod) on a Oneplus One phone, and both felt pretty tidy, fluid, and fast.

So anyways, if you want to have the same experience on G2 just install Cyanogenmod or Blisspop ROM. Based on my observations on the discussion boards here, CM 12.1 (based on Lollipop 5) is reliable and stable, while the CM13 (based on Android 6) is relatively beta-quality. So IMHO, if you want a very good "Nexus" experience, you can flash CM12.1 ROM and see how it goes.
