[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Polarfuchs:
So this thread is intended to discuss the issue of the fingerprint reader being deactivated by Realme after unlocking the bootloader. As well as possible solutions, and ways of requesting a fix from Realme.

Realme is a company that belongs to the same group as Oneplus and Oppo, namely BBK Electronics. Since it is possible to use the Fingerprint Reader on the Onplus devices after bootloader unlocking and the Oneplus 7T being quite similar in hardware to the Realme X2 Pro, it would only make sense that it should be possible to use the sensor on the X2 pro as well after unlocking.

So this seems to be more a political decision rather than a hardware limitation. :good:

Ways for you to request a fix for the issue are ideally via the Realme Forum, that is the Indian Forum (as they speak English, that more easy for most of us, than using the Chinese forum. And the Indian version being basically the same as the European version as well).

You can comment in this thread:

Additionally, you can contact Realme Europe via twitter here:

As I already did, as you can see here:

So let's make this Realme great again :D

The first thread seems to be deleted.

Dont know if its intended, but deleting threads with suggestions/reports of issue feels some kind of strange...
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Polarfuchs:
That was a thread about a recap of the introduction events. Where you could share issues and make queries.

Ther is also this thread, where a Moderator replied and wants to forward the issue:

there's another one on their forum. Maybe it helps if we bump up the like/comment counter?

they can't ignore us if we can get enough noise.

I think fp is disabled in color os only. May be in custom roms it will be available to use.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bmwbasti:
Sadly it seems that nobody is interested in this issue. Neither customers nor moderators/developers in the realme forums...
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 4928322:
May be if some developers start developing a custom rom, then we will get to know. I think the unusability of fp sensor will be limited to color os after unlock. But it probably might work with custom roms
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] darkhunger95:
Well You guys should also bump your issue in the flipkart product page so that their sales will get a hit and then realme will take some steps to fix this .

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] maverickluke:
Do you have more information?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
It doesn't work on any roms (EU, India, China)?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bharat.bkj:
nope
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] natedogg20050:
I guess if it's disabled after the bootrom unlock it will have to be a fix or an custom change for the bootrom to allow the finger print
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] asusgarb:
At first we should hope there will be custom roms for this amazing device. Realme's official support seems extremely poor. And without it's support I don't know if there will be any bug solutions or custom roms...:crying:
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] aladin6:
They released a bootloader unlock tool and released kernel resource so I think that they're supporting custom development. But let's hope that they will fix this problem ASAP.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sareer007:
In the latest episode of #AskMadhav for the month, the company’s CEO, Madhav Sheth has answered some questions

The company already said that bootloader unlocking will disable fingerprint scanner, but this will be fixed in the upcoming update said the CEO. It will also release a separate flash tool in Q1 2020.

Lets wait now.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nazagan:
He was talking about the realme x2
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] almmpt:
Are you talking about X2 or X2 Pro device?

Thanks...
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] natedogg20050:
lets hope this is true , if not we will have to wait for the XDA Devs
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sareer007:
He didn't specify the device. But I think it's for all realme phones as many people are kind of pissed off when they lose fingerprint functionality when they unlock the bootloader.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Ranserot:
Sorry for my English, the Chinese version of the firmware a13 finger works like root rights

Yes ! it shouldn't be long for Global Rom. I hope Widevine DRM will be L1 after unlock too on Global Rom, but I think I expect too much.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] almmpt:
This A13 is a new update of software?

If it works may be on next builds of Realme X2 Pro it works too.

Anyway to get this A13 update?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] natedogg20050:
It's only out for CN I got it

Can anyone confirm that the fingerprint sensor works after unlocking the bootloader?

I want to buy this phone but I have to be sure that I can root without hardware limitations because I can't stay without root.

Thankyou
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Polarfuchs:
Right now only with the Chinese phone and version A13
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] westenlive:
So for phones sold in Europe we have to wait.

I read that they released the kernel. Maybe we are on the right track. So they kill OP7T pro though

sorry for my English
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Isavar:
for me it didn't work, unlock bl in version A.12, as expected, fp stopped working, I just updated to version A.13 and everything remains the same :(

Cheers.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] striderdon37:
Works.

Mine works. Update to a13 first then unlock BL.

But now im stuck at a11 coz of brick,

I tried to update but failed.

Dunno what happens when u unlock before a13.

If i can do it again i wouldnt buy this phone. Hahah.

I wouldnt recommend it.

The only thing i like about it is the 30mins full charge.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] loumaros:
So you updated your phone to a13, checked that fingerprint unlocking works and then reverted back to a11?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] westenlive:
A solution has to be found. This phone is the top at an absurd price.

I hope that a solution from the company will arrive soon.

Happy New Year
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] striderdon37:
I went 13, then unlocked BL, then bricked my phone installing gapps and accidentally formatting data i lost all my backups. I then flashed a11 ota ozip. After that it wont let me go back to 13 anymore. Or update at all. But after flashing 11 i didnt lose the FP
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] P1f:
Are you on latest TWRP 3.3.1.11 from mauronofrio?

It was suppose to have ozip flashing fixed so maybe it works to go from 11 to 13?

I have the EU rom so i didn't tried myself
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] striderdon37:
I have twrpcnen from jerry08 s guide
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] P1f:
If you have time you can try also with the latest twrp version from here on XDA because that will be the official version, the CN was only a temporary workaround version to get us starting.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] maverickluke:
The Version RMX1931EX_11_A.08 is now online.

After Update the fingerprint reader still not work.

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

Any update from the senior developer?

The IN/EU A08 Update doesn't fix the fingerprint reader.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Hellsblade:
In the post about unlocking guide it is stated that FP keeps working with A.08.

In another post about CN A.013 update someone states you have to relock the bootloader before updating and then patch.

I think I will wait a little before trying. Still too much confusion...
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] maverickluke:
You are right. The post is from jerry08.

I think he knows it better when me. ;)

I aked him, how he gets the FP working with A08.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
See Last answer of this thread: https://xdaforums.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/guide-unlocking-bootloader-to-getting-t4010189/page11

Only for CN phones, after updating to 13, if you lock bootloader and then unlock it fingerprint works.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] darknessdsc:
After trying to unlock with A.08, now it can use FP. As long as you relock & lock the bootloader as [MENTION=5492063]Jerry08[/MENTION] says in his thread, it should work.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ManikandanGuru:
Latest update fixes this issue.

Is it possible to unlock, flash gobal rom , magisk to make gpay works ? Will i still be able to get OTA ?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] InsaneDarkness:
Yea, it does, you just haave to lock bootloader on 08 and unlock it again :p
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] loumaros:
So the steps would be:

1. Be on 08

2. Unlock bootloader

3. Flash magisk

4. Lock bootloader??

Wouldn't this brick the device? Locking the bootloader while not being in stock?

I've been trying to find a clear step by step updated guide, but I haven't been quite successful.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] patalao:
There is a very clear step by step to unlock the bootloader.

Just go to https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink/to...ng/unlocking bootloader, Magisk fix and more] and read it carefully.

If you're on 08 you only need to unlock the bootloader.

The relock of bootloader is only for those who updated to v08 with the bootloader already unlocked, so they need to lock it and unlock it again.

I was using it for AdAway but that i can do also with Private DNS adguard without root

And a second reason was to oass safetynet but that wasn't working on RealmeUI beta and because of latest Google changes

So for now i prefer the fingerprint on RealMeUI but probably i will move over to LineageOS soon and then flash also Magisk

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] andrea0807:
Has the fingerprint sensor problem been resolved after unlocking the bootloader or still persists?

Is it possible to have the x2 pro with twrp recovery, and magisk and fingerprint reader working?

Furthermore, is it possible to keep the recovery twrp and magisk with each update?

I am considering buying the realme x2 pro or oneplus 7t, but I think the realme is creating too much modding problems.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Sir Backe:
Yes, I do have the same problem. Also the face recognition doesn't work.

I'm still not shure if it's again a realme problem with latest uodate to android 10.

Does your face recognition work?
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] minoccio:
Currently, it fully works on Android 9 (Update .A10), On Android 10 fingerprint reading doesn't work with unlocked bootloader. I can't answer on updating with twrp and magisk because I never updated from A10 version
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DoYouWantFriesWithThat:
I'm X2 (not Pro) but I'm writing here to keep an eye on this.

[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Saruya:
Face Unlock was killed by Android 10 AFAIK.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Sir Backe:
On android 9 it has been resolved. On android 10 it is back. No fingerprint no face unlock.

Yes, but with android 9 only.

Yes. Following steps work for me:

- Download latest OZIP from realme website to your phone

- Download latest Magisk canary "magisk-debug.zip" and "app-debug.apk" from here to your phone

- Download vbmeta.img to your PC (!) into adb folder

- Boot into TWRP

- Flash latest OZIP

- Boot directly into bootloader

- Attach your phone with usb cable to our PC

- go into adb folder and open window by pressing shift and right-click on an empty space within the folder. In the pop-up menu choose "open powershell here"

- type "cmd" into the powershell window, followed by pressing "enter"

- type following command into the powershell window:

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

followed b pressing "enter". In very short time you should get the confirmation message that the file has been flashed to our phone.

- boot your phone directly into TWRP recovery again

- flash latest "magisk-debug.zip"

- delete dalvik/cache

- boot into system

- once in system, install "app-debug.apk"

- open Magisk app and go to settings

- choose "Magisk canary" as update channel

enjoy

Right. Thats the price you pay when buying a cheap new phone. I came from OP3 and I am not shure yet if I would buy again a realme. Simple things like using a plug-in more than once don't work, and despite of having written to realme support already 3 times it is not yet solved, fingerprint and face unlock worked on android 9, on android 10 they again don't work anymore and so forth.
[Realme X2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] westenlive:
Yes this is a cheap phone.

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] nvmnghia:
Cannot use Cam & Youtube after flash to MIUI 11 with TWRP, how to cleanly reflash?

I was using rooted MIUI 10 with TWRP. 3 weeks ago, I decided to manually upgrade to MIUI 11 through TWRP. I booted into TWRP, flash the official 11 image, wipe cache, then flash the lazy flasher to avoid boot loop, wipe cache again, then flash Magisk, all done. After that, I booted to MIUI 11 without any problem. What surprised me are the apps: they were still there, nothing changed. AFAIK, after flashing, the app must be wiped, then it will be downloaded again if I provide the MIUI account (or Google account, I don't clearly remember). Apps & wifi password remained intact, except for the camera and Youtube. Both don't work. Vanced Youtube also doesn't work, but Youtube Go, Gmail, and 3rd party Youtube app work. Some diagnosed that some error during flashing could make the Youtube app stop running, I believe I'm the case.

How can I cleanly reflash my Mi 6 to get these to work (with unlocked, TWRP and Magisk)? Is there any problem with my flashing workflow? Thanks!

Good Morning! I'm having a boring problem with my Mi A2. I can not flash any ROM on my device. In the Fastboot screen does not appear Mi Bunny, although the PC recognizes. This happened after I had to put the phone in EDL mode to restore the stock kidney, in one in a failed attempt to install the miui 10 at the time the phone had got stuck on the screen initialization.

If anyone has a help I would be very grateful. It almost always gets stuck in error 1 or error 7 In twrp no custom ROM is recognized.. I don't remember the description but it is almost always an update error.

I hope you can help me, I'm having similar problems too. I boot into TWRP, but the new Android 9 updates, I think, have everything encrypted. So rooting my Redmi Note 5 Pro has been really puzzling me all day. Because of the encryption, I can't access the internal storage where Magisk or SuperSU .img should be, unless I wipe all data, which removes the .imgs. Following the advice of some other threads, I have tried rebooting TWRP from itself and then flashing a TWRP.img to flash but I can't find it anywhere either. I tried adb sideloading and adb pushing but I can't get my computer to detect my phone when its in recovery. Thought I'd ask here before making my own thread
