[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] starcms:
Any advice for someone who lost fingerprint scanner ability but all sensors and wifi work fine, and the /persist partition exists with all the files that should be in it. Tried factory reset, MSM, nothing fixes it. Any help please? Possibly a permissions error?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Macusercom:
You sure all files are in there? MSM and any other tool won't touch /persist so it wouldn't fix it.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] starcms:
Yep, all the files are there. Compared vs the persist.img that someone had posted. Can anyone with magisk installed open adb or a decent file manager and find /sbin/.magisk/mirror/persist/ and post a screenshot or terminal output showing the permissions of the /persist directory itself and more importantly the contents of /persist/?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] starcms:
I believe the issue began by flashing a crap magisk module that had a script that mounted at least /system as rw at the beginning and back to ro at the end. I know on some devices simply this is enough to break OTAs, but I would assume any damage done by that was repaired by the MSM. It was either that or a simple update to the latest version of magisk canary at the time. Can't think of anything else I did immediately b4 it stopped working.

But I double checked my persist.img and all the files that should be there are.

And no extra, added files. And none of mine have a 0 file size for example when the persist.img that someone had posted had a 50kb file size for example for whatever file.

The only thing I can think of is an issue with permissions. So if anyone (with root) could please take a screenshot or adb shell output showing the permissions of /mnt/vendor/persist/ and all folders and files contained within, it would be greatly greatly appreciated.

Another concern of mine is that my mounted persist partition (at /mnt/vendor/persist) is shown as rw. Is this normal? Or at least normal with Magisk installed? Or is that my issue right there? If so, how the heck do I change/repair it's attributes back to what they should be (and make it ro and not mountable)?

Very much appreciate any and all assistance.

Much thanks,

Chris

Edit: Very last question. Does anyone know what file or files in persist.img pertain to the fingerprint calibration, operation, etc?
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] juicemane32:
Chris, did you figure out what files pertain to fingerprint operation? And/or did you fix your fingerprint issue? I just started experiencing the issue today out of the blue.

tried it already..doesnt work on 7t pro..
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] starcms:
It works perfectly fine on the 7T Pro 5G McLaren edition. The global 7T Pro came out sooner and actually has less in common with the 7T Pro 5G McLaren (which has more in common with the OP8) at least when it comes to OOS, partitioning, fixing persist, etc. As far as I know, no one has figured out how to fix it on the global 7t pro. You need to RMA (although you are the only person reporting it doesn't work on the global 7t pro -- so a sample size of one isn't exactly accurate...)

---------- Post added at 11:08 ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 ----------

Yes, I fixed it just last week after seeing the thread in the OP8 forum showing how. I couldn't believe it! I had spent 2 months trying and after finding that thread I had it fixed in 15 minutes!! I made my own thread in the 7T Pro McLaren forum with just a few extra little tips added and it fixed it perfectly on my T-Mobile 7T Pro 5G McLaren. But one person (@the hellboy) says it doesn't work on his global 7T Pro.

The 7T Pro 5G McLaren actually has much more in common with the OP8 than with the global 7T Pro as the 7T Pro 5G Mclaren was the first phone 1+ released that uses the same security, partitioning, persist partition format, etc as the OP8. But give it a try and see.

Unfortunately I have a 7T Pro and it doesn't fix fingerprint for me either... Thanks though
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] gearmaker:
I have the Global 7T Pro HD1913 McLaren and the fix worked perfectly. I restored my backed up persist and it didn't work.On the forums here someone posted a persist from their 7T Pro and I used it and it worked! My persist didn't work, but I could still extract the data and engineermode folders and placed them in mnt/vendor/persist. After reboot everything was working as it should. Originally I had unlocked bootloader and rooted.I flashed a lineage rom and didn't like it so I used msm and went back to stock. It relocks the bootloader and fingerprint and most other sensors were not working.I was in contact with Oneplus for a possible RMA when I came upon these threads on restoring the persist partition.It most definitely worked on my 7T Pro HD1913. XDA forums and devs are the best !!! :)
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Amir1714:
hi

can i have your persist.img for my 7t pro mclaren 5g please?

i need persist for fix my fingerprint sensor enrollment
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] starcms:
If you had read the thread on how to fix your FP sensor in 15 minutes, you would know that if you use someone else's persist, it will be impossible to ever fix it.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] gearmaker:
I had a fingerprint enrollment issue and all other sensors not working after returning to stock from AOSP rom.

My backed up persist did not work. I did use one posted on this forum with same model, 7T Pro.

My fingerprint sensor returned along with all other sensors. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone, but I had

nothing to lose by trying.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] starcms:
This forum is for the HD1925, the T-Mobile OP7T Pro 5G Mclaren which was only released in the US. You have the HD1913 which is the Mclaren edition of the international version of the OP7T Pro. You should be looking in the OP7T Pro forums -- as the only difference between an international OP7T Pro and an international OP7T Pro Mclaren is the look of the back panel and possibly more RAM and storage and some extra fonts and wallpapers.

The HD1925 was released last, after all other OP7T/OP7T Pro variants. Because of that, in some ways, especially the FP, is much more similar to the OP8/Pro vs any other OP7T/Pro. If you had done that on an HD1925, your FP sensor would be toast forever.

Edit: nevermind, you are in the correct forum, the regular OP7T Pro, sorry. But all the other info above is still correct
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] gearmaker:
@starcms , thank you for the info. It was because of your post HERE that I continued to read and to try the fix.
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] starcms:
Hey, I'm just glad it worked! 👍 I haven't heard much about the issue except on the T-Mobile 7T Pro 5G Mclaren and the OP8/Pro (all variants). Apparently they finally fixed it on the 8T. I think I had only heard it mentioned a handful of times on the regular 7T/Pro (including the international 7T Pro Mclaren) and because of the differences, no one had been able to fix it following the guide (they were missing the file that the guide restores, apparently persist has different files depending on the model and the variant). Looks like you got really lucky or found a way. Regardless, I'd be backing up your working persist.img and saving it in at least 2 separate locations. 😁😷👍
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Amir1714:
thanks but i use someone else persist for fix and it worked!

my persist partition has been deleted and i don't have back up and there was no way just use someone else persist
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] 1+Avenger:
Hi guys,

So I flashed ColorOS 12.1 closed beta on my phone today and I rolled back to OOS 11 because ColorOS was so buggy and I can't use it as a daily driver on my phone. But the thing is, when I was on OOS 11, all the sensor was reversed and I needed to flash via fastboot a "persist.img" and after that everything worked fine except for the fingerprint sensor wich doesn't work anymore because of that and I think it's because I flashed a wrong image of that persist thing.

So I don't know what to do now and I tried so many thing to enable again the FID.. if you guys have any solution, just tell me :/

(Sorry for my bad english btw)
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Shreeshail:
Yes it does not work on OnePlus 7t pro
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] starcms:
Follow the instructions in the thread I had posted titled something like "Fix your Persist in 15 minutes". But it will possibly still never work as good as new unless you made a backup of your persist partition. And if you have the T-Mobile 7T Pro 5G Mclaren Edition, you can't use any roms or closed betas from OnePlus, only the OTAs from T-Mobile. And if you flashed someone else's persist and didn't even make a backup of your corrupted one first, the FP sensor along with possibly many or all the other sensors will be out of calibration with no way to fix.

As mentioned above you should NEVER flash a persist version floating around in the forums or you could wind up changing your IMEI to match someone else's and wifi mac address or corrupting them entirely. And losing the camera and sensor calibrations specific to your phone (besides just FP). Each persist is unique to every individual phone.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pires96:
I updated yesterday and for some reason my stock wallpaper (the one with the mountain) used to be dynamic and change throughout the day (sunrise, sunset, night, etc) and now it's fixed on the night time, if I disable dark mode the wallpaper goes back to being daytime. So it's pretty much a static wallpaper instead of a dynamic one, is there a way to re-activate the dynamic one?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jehonan:
I believe that factory reset will solve Your problems, unfortunately.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pires96:
Just did that, at first it seemed to be working fine but after setting up the phone at some point I disabled dark mode and enabled again it went back to the same thing.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jehonan:
Did You look at \Settings > Account & Sync > Xiaomi Cloud > Home screen backup ?!

If not, then "old" and "broken" Home screen is always restored so my advice will be to delete those backups and then try again and see will You have any issue with this!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pires96:
I'm pretty sure I had no backup because I had to setup everything from scratch again, google did restore apps, contacts and such, but home screen, system settings and such I had to do from scratch.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jehonan:
In Your place I would check this more closely because if I remember correctly this restore behavior is set as"default" for "Home screen" and this item is constantly restored during ROM upgrade or reset.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pires96:
Just checked, it's disabled. Right now if I disable dark mode the background stays at night time (its almost 8pm so that's normal) i'm going to check tomorrow to see if the problem persists.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pires96:
Just checked the issue with the wallpaper, if I disable dark mode the wallpaper works just fine and cycles throughout the day as it should, as soon as I enable the dark mode it forces the wallpaper into night mode. Happened with this update, factory reset didn't fix it and I tried to look for an option but couldn't find anything. Extremely annoying but hopefully it gets fixed.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jehonan:
Hmm maybe this is logical and intended behavior?!

If You look more closely if one activate dark mode then whole OS "thinks" that You are actually using Your phone during night time and You have exactly this kind of behavior!

I believe that there lies Your "problem" and in fact You don't have problem at all and this function works like it should i believe!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Olmaik:
Yeah same problem here.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pires96:
I don't see a logic in forcing everyone to have a dark theme just because they choose dark mode, if anythign it should be optionally choosen in the settings. I've had the Mi 9 since end of November and never had any issues with this, only started after this v11.0.8 update.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] gerhard_wa:
I for sure see the logic in making the live wallpaper dark if you set the overall mode to dark. The clue here is the word "dark". You might miss the freedom of having all things exactly as you want, but the logical thing must be for the wallpaper to be dark in dark mode.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pires96:
The thing is that it should be optional and not forced, like iOS does. From my research the latest versions of the xiaomi.eu come with an option "Adjust wallpaper to Dark mode" like the attached picture. Hopefully they'll put that option on the stock rom.
