[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nikhil:
Hey,

It's great!

Would you mind sharing github link of the source code? Or any place where you have the code?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
Why? This is not a open source project, the source is only on my pc.

Yup it boots.

Do you mean that it only boots? Because that's all I can do with it. When I try to flash I gives error like "some partition doesn't exist"

Does it work on Oreo firmware or do I need to unlock the bootloader before install the update?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] PatrikSelin:
It did not work on Oreo.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
What doesn't work?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] PatrikSelin:
I can unlock without any problems, but "Flash TWRP" does not work. It says that the process has been successfully completed, but I can not boot to Recovery mode.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
Check "only boot it" before click on flash
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] PatrikSelin:
I did it! The "Reboot Recovery" button did not work either.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
There is not a command to reboot from fastboot to recovery directly, so you need to boot it, and you can do it checking "only boot it" before click on "flash"

"fastboot boot twrplatest.img" doesn't boot to twrp recovery...its just turns on the mi a1..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
It's not true, that command is used to boot in twrp
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] bhavan.scg:
it is not working for me....my mi a1 is running on latest oreo January 2018 patch....i tried a lot of time executing "fastboot boot twrp3.2.1.0.img" command, it just shows finished and booting messages in the CMD prompt and the phone just reboots to oreo in the next 10 seconds....how many times i tried it never got into twrp UI....:( I'm sure my phone is unlocked and i have the right drivers and latest ADB....
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
Maybe something changes with oreo build

Hello, I have unlocked the bootloader through this tool and at every start I get this warning: "Your device software can not be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader". Do I have to worry? Is there a way to remove it?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
But the phone boots?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheRaspyBoi:
Yes, the phone works perfectly! More than anything else I asked because some guides on YouTube didn't show that warning at startup :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:
Maybe some new updates bring this new feature

Or can I leave things as they are?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] mauronofrio:

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bot96:
No, it's perfectly fine. It gets displayed when you unlock it and will continue to do so until you move to custom roms.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheRaspyBoi:
I installed the Resurrection Remix ROM and continues to show that warning:confused:

i accidentally install twrp so that i cant get OTA update. Help needed.

I followed the guide below but accidentally install TWRP instead of flashing it . (my bad..:crying::crying:)

https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mi-a1-oreo-8-0-disabling-ota-magisk-t3728654

Now i cannot get OTA July update (i have May update installed).

Using this All-in-One tool, what do i have to do to enable OTA Update again. Of course i intend to root again...

Please give me step-by-step guide 'coz im just a newbie. Forgive my ignorance:(

Here are what i have done to my a1:

1. installed twrp recovery.

2. bootloader unlocked .

3. rooted by flashing magisk through twrp.

A few more questions:

- If possible, i want to restore my apps and settings. So i have to backup first, right?

- Do i have to uninstall Magisk manager before using the Tool.

Thanks for every single kind and helping comment.

Has anyone else had problems with the fingerprint scanner on their phone?

I have registered the same finger multiple times and it can not recognize it even after cleaning. It ranges from saying the scanner is dirty, to saying my finger moved to fast, and sometimes ill place it on the scanner perfectly and it won't even detect my finger.

Never had a problem with any other phones fingerprint scanner before this.

Should I RMA?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] GTvert90:
I'd RMA. I haven't had this issue
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dontbeweakvato:
I've had similar issues with my 6p sporadic. But when it happened it would happen for couple of hours. I would erase all fingers and redo and maybe restart. Usually worked.

I'm having a ***** of a time getting my bootloader unlocked. Done it 20 times in my life and this just isn't going
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheSt33v:
I'm having similar issues. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes I get the too fast message, no acknowledgement, "not recognized" or "cannot process fingerprint." However, cleaning the fingerprint scanner almost always fixes the issue. This is my first fingerprint scanner-equipped phone, so I'm not really sure how well they usually work. I have to clean the sensor every 10 unlocks or so to get it working again. Is this typical or do I just have really oily fingers?

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

This is off topic, and there are a lot of threads out there about this, but the commands are different than they have been in the past.

1. Make sure you're using the latest version of fastboot

2. fastboot flashing unlock

3. fastboot flashing unlock_critical

Both commands are necessary.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dontbeweakvato:
Forgot to reboot my PC after assigning the platform-tools after I downloaded. I think I deleted the old ones and downloaded the new ones and they got moved around in the directory. So I guess part was earned part wasn't or something.Lol. I rebooted my PC and BOOM it worked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Every 10 unlocks is way too often. You either really do have very oily fingers or something is up with your scanner. Never had that even with my 5X.

For the original poster, something is definitely wrong. I would get a replacement.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ktvo05:
I do have exactly the same problem. I tried again & again but it didn’t recognize my fingerprint. I also tried with another finger but no luck
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pakman5391:
I talked to Google and they're sent out a replacement because it's obviously not normal. I'd suggest doing the same. My assumption is a bad batch of sensors.

While I love this phone, its sure had it's share of problems.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Lacrosse200760:
Glad I'm not the only one. Had it on 8.0 and just upgraded to 8.1 beta in hopes of something, but no different. Makes unlocking annoying, but even more so using LastPass with finger print is near impossible with this issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] clank19:
Ok this might be weird I have the same issue and it depends on how I touch the sensor. If I make sure my finger does not touch the sides of the sensor(the circumference) then it works flawlessly. As my fingers are pretty fat there is a high chance that I hit the sides of the sensor. If I position my finger perfectly over the centre of the sensor, then it works fine. I've had a one plus 2 before and I have never faced this sort of a behavior with sensors.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
That still sounds like something is wrong. I just put my finger on the sensor with the tip over and past the circumference and it unlocked fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Crispytortilla:
My pixel 2 has lost all semblance of a fingerprint scanner. It quit working and disappeared from the settings. They are sending me a new one but this is unfortunate.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pakman5391:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] GlennnDR:
I've recently had issues with the fingerprint sensor. I have both my index fingers registered and noticed when the sensor is kinda dirty it will not read my fingerprint at all and forces me to enter my pin. Once I clean the sensor it functions perfectly
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Marvin2699:
When I first got mine I had this problem. However I think the issue was adhesive from the packaging was stuck to it because I was able to rub some gunk off with some water and micro fiber and now its fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vanillaflavor:
I have this issue and happens randomly. It's very annoying though and forces me to unlock manually often enough that I felt I had to contact support. No amount of cleaning seemed to work.

I am currently in the process of troubleshooting it via support. They want me to run it on safe mode and try factory resetting although I'm doubtful either of them will work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Migamix:
when i did my fingerprint setup, i went slow, and varied the angle of my finger, it seem to help and is almost too sensitive. i also attempted to get a larger area of my finger and not just the tip ;-P try to do another additional setup with the same primary finger. see if that helps.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Flames1:
Pixelimprint could not detect my fingers a few times today . i had to manually enter my passcode on lockscreen, bofa and chase, because it says ive made the maximum amount of attempts. i also have my L & R index fingers registered twice.ive cleaned the sensor and as of now im still having this issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] eddiezane:
Google replaced my phone for this last week and just like the first phone, the fingerprint scanner worked fine for a few days.

Now I can unlock the phone using my fingerprint just about every attempt but when I try to unlock apps (1Password, Chase, Robinhood) it fails 99/100. It's to the point where I'm surprised when it works.

When I called Google the first phone gave me a hard time enrolling my fingerprint after a factory reset. It kept saying that the sensor was dirty. I wiped it down with everything from microfiber to a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol. Nothing really helped until it randomly took. Then I had the same issue with apps.

I'm still not sure if it's a hardware or software problem as I can get into the device consistently right now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
That's really strange. You've had a phone with a fingerprint sensor before and no issues?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] worldsoutro:
Anyone else's FP really slow? I feel the vibration right away from my finger but takes a few seconds to unlock
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Sophos1:
Sweet! Thx 4 posting this....I was considering trying to get a replacement from Google but maybe I'll just wait and see if the update helps.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] strawnj:
It's like night and day difference! I've been following all the blogs on 8.1 update and nothing has been mentioned fixing the FPS. I was about to RMA it and after going back and forth with Google decided to wait for this update. Low and behold they fixed it. It's fast and responsive makes the phone 100 times more enjoyable. Anyone else seeing the same result?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] fearfighters:
It's a pretty widely known problem with the new update
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Warmax88:
It didn't fix it for me.. exactly the same problem
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Widely known how and where? It's working just quickly with no delay here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Lush78:
Still problematic here...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] fearfighters:
There are a few posts on it in the Google pixel reddit with a lot of people complaining about this problem
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
I found one Reddit thread. Some are saying Always On Display helps. I've never turned mine off so maybe that's why I don't notice a difference.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jadeiceman:
I'm almost certain that the 8.1 update doesn't fix the fingerprint issues. I still have issues after updating, and I have an email thread on the issue that was just escalated to the "Advanced Hardware Support" team to collect bug reports and debug, which means they probably haven't fixed it yet, or else they would have said so...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] KeytarWarrior:
For what it's worth I went through a very extensive process with Google with no fix in sight. 8.1 initially still gave me problems (including failing once on recording a fingerprint for the first time!) but now it has been a day and a half with basically 100 % success rate throughout apps. I am still cautious but it might have fixed it? I use LastPass & PayPal. I've been using two fingers and they both work great. I can't get it to fail even purposefully scanning very sloppily.

Because I did get some error initially and I have already been sent a replacement device, I will probably compare screens etc and maybe keep the replacement, just in case.

My fingerprint sensor also feels a lot smoother now that I've used the phone for a while but that might be my imagination...

But again 8.1 seems to have fixed it for me. I'm just worried it's a false positive and I just got lucky... And it might come back. I'll report back once I have my new device and test it out over the weekend :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] martyfried:
Seems like 8.1 made the problem worse for me. I have trouble learning the fingerprint, and it only registers certain parts of my finger. This is after cleaning the hell out of it. It seemed pretty good previously. Sometimes, it seems better if I double-tap it first to wake it up.

My 5X still has no problems.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Snow02:
I've been talking with support for a month about this. Tonight they admitted there is a bug causing the problem and they're working on a fix.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Pecata:
Ever since I have updated to 8.1 my fingerprint scanner issues has disappeared. Third party apps wouldn't accept my fingerprint ( except Dropbox) 100% of the time. Now they all work. Whatever Google did with the 8.1 update worked for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ibleo02:
I've been having the exact same problems as everyone else. Google is sending me a replacement. Hope that one works like it should. I'm coming from a OnePlus 3T and that sensor was great. It sucks that Google won't refund/comp me for the dbrand Panda skin that I put on this Just Black 64g. I bought this phone back on Halloween and I had been "accepting" that sensor wasn't that great, until it finally became frustrating to use.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] antonfrompreston:
In experiencing issues with mine. I thought it was the 8.1 update as there is talk about the scanner wiring slower but mine never works slow but often doesn't work at all. I get a few error messages from the scanner cannot read my finger and I get no vibration feedback to the scanner is dirty to just not recognising my fingerprint. I registered 2 fingers and one just never registers. Also the setup involved a few reads that didn't work and I had to give it a few seconds to try again or have to clean what was already a very clean scanner.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mistah.J:
I'm experiencing exactly the same.
