Make sure you have backed up your 20e stock abl.

You will need to download the Android 9 kdz "G850EMW10c_00_1126.kdz"

link to Android 9 kdz:

g8xkdz10cindia - Google Drive

drive.google.com

If you are already on stock with locked bootloader, then start with step 5

Step 1: backup all parittions using qfil

Step 2: flash 20e kdz file using LGUP to get back to stock.

Step 3: flash engg abl in qfil

Step 4: go to fastboot and lock the bootloader.

Step 5: flash 10c (Android 9) using LGUP to go to Android 9

Step 6: Since you are on locked bootloader and Android now, FP works.

Step 7: Register pin and password and select secure pin to boot.

Step 8: Now reboot and enter incorrect pin for 30 times . this will reset ur device again (this is damn time taking)

Step 9: Now flash 20e kdz file using LGUP to get back to stock Android 10. (don'r register fp)

Step 10: flash engg abl in qfil

Step 11: go to fastboot and unlock the bootloader.

Step 12: flash 10c (Android 9) using LGUP to go to Android 9

Step 13: Now you are on unlocked Bootloader and Android 9

Step 14: Now try registering, it might fail.

Step 15: go to User Service menu -> Device test -> SAAT -> Service Menu -Manual Test - Optical Fingerprint test (test it few times)

Step 16: go to User Service menu -> SVC -> Enable FacePrint and Enable Handprint

Step 17: Try registering finger print in settings, it should work. If it doesn'r reboot and do the step 15 and 16 and try again.

Step 18: You must get the fingerprint working in Unlocked Android 9, that's the key

Step 19: It will work after some 1-2 times of step 15 and 16

Step 20: Register your finger print in unlocked Android 9. FInish the scan and set it up.

Step 21: flash 20e kdz file using LGUP to get back to stock Android 10.

Step 22: Now you are on Android 10 with unlocked bootloader, and Finger print works!

Again thanls to @Anand_Y, we got a better and faster way to get the FP working:

It is not such a big procedure. Today i did some testing too. Here are my findings/procedure:-

1. Assuming u guys are on android 10 unlocked bl. Downgrade to 10c using lg up.

2. Go to service menu, svc menu, handprint on.

3. Then imediately go to back to device test, saat, manual test, optical finger test, do the test. Press hard on fp till text turns green. Will say test failed. Still click yes.

4. Go to setting and fp starts working.

Thats it no restarts no nothing. You have fp in these few steps.

This is for LG G8x Indian Flipkart Big billion sale model.

To go into Service menu. open dialer and key *#546368#*850#

Thanks to @NABENDU1 for pooling the steps. Not sure who else tested but thanks to them!

All credits goes to @Anand_Y

Notes: Relocking bootloader is a huge risk, Always make sure you are on stock everything before doing it. Sometimes the device may brick. So make sure you understand the risks.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] raj_ch2002:
Update 1:

guys, I understand from @NABENDU1 that we don't need to go to android 10 to use eng abl for unlocking and we can do it via android 9, you can skip step 9 and step 12 from the initial steps. remove those 2 and follow the order.

Not needed with new method

But after step 4 we are still in android 9, right? Then how to revert back to android 10.. Via OTA or flashing 20e firmware?
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] raj_ch2002:
Yes, if you want to go to 10 then u need to flash via LGUP.

I'm on V20d with my european LG G8X and fixing FP didn't work for me. To which version do I have to downgrade or did I make something wrong?

Thanks and best regards.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] lefttobleed:
To the first firmware available for your model number and region.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] lefttobleed:
To the first firmware available for your model number and region.

In your case u will have to test yourself. First try the first android 10 firmware for Canada. If that doesnt work try first pie version for your phone model number but different region.

Best of luck.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] robnitro:
I assume this won't work with the g850um, sprint version because there are no KDZ files to flash back to?
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] LexxiHI:
So if I have a unlocked bootloader and root fingerprint sensor will not working?
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] hieppo:
Please clarify if only way to receive all the OTA updates that was pushed to the phone is by finding the KDZ and using LGUP. I assume the OTA no longer work since the phone already has received the updates previously and by downgrading it will never get the automatic update?

One other question, can we use KDZ from say the US for the Canadian variant to downgrade? Is there any side effects from using it or if OTA is still good after, would it then update based on IMEI region?
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] foenicxxx:
It's simple, after Bootloader unlocked, Fingerprint sensor stops working, for that to work, you have to downgrade your device with the first firmware available for your model number and region. Once the FP Sensor is made to work in that downgraded firmware, flash the device with the latest firmware available for your model number and region. And Cross flashing of various firmware will have it's own side effects, even stuck with boot logo or boot-looping, may work even to surprise you. I hope this makes you to understand some of what you wanted to .....
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] hieppo:
Thanks for the great suggestion.

I took a stab and did exactly that. The lesson learn was really helpful. I now know there is pretty safe reset root when you mess up with abl and boot. As long as you can still go to the LG Download mode, we can use LG UP to downgrade and start again.
[LG G8X ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] zdanee:
Confirmed working on an EU (Hungary) version. Had to use the command-line LGUP tool (1.17) and not the oldest Pie version ROM but the G850EMW10d_00_0131.kdz version instead. After that I could go back up to Android 10 V20h and both the FP and audio is fixed.

Hi, I have the T-Mobile OnePlus 7T Pro Mclaren Edition and for some weird reason I'm not receiving OTA updates. I'm trying to use the MSM tool to update my device because since I have the T-Mobile version, I can't do local upgrades. However, the MSM tool doesn't recognize my device so therefore I can't upgrade it. ADB works just fine, and the computer recognizes my phone in fastboot mode, just the MSM tool isn't working. Someone please help!
[OnePlus 7T Pro (Regular & McLaren) Q & A] Abaddon:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] McGrady:
Hi,

my Mi Mix 2S has a strange problem and hope for your help.

My phone sometimes just restarts for no reason. Whether I have it in my hand or it's just lying around.

Then hangs in bootloop. Right on the first home screen where it says Android. Then restarts again and the same again on the first screen where it says Android.

Only when I press the power button longer it goes off again and then starts up normally.

I thought it was a software bug and have tried the following so far.

Installed Rom: Xiaomi.eu - Miui 9

TWRP 3.4.0.0

1. make a full wipe data, davlik, cache, system and formatting data

2. flash official miui eu stable with twrp

miui_MIMIX2SGlobal_V12.0.1.0.QDGMIXM_1f5f076ae3_10.0.zip

3. install xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMix2S_V12.0.2.0.QDGCNXM_v12-10.zip

So completely clean reinstallation. No TWRP backup or Titanium backup. When setting up everything without problems. Now after a few hours I wanted to continue and again the same error with the reboot.

Anybody have an idea?

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] mac231us:
So I am coming from the mi max 3 angle to say-own a mi max 3 and it has been doing something similar though always when am on a call (have been wondering if I have been accidentally pressing the power button for too long but that should not in of itself do the reboot-even though the swipe menu comes on when pressing the power button as an overlay now over the screen (not like the secondary screen for boot options) (am referring to the the vertical type swipe up down for reboot or shut off in latest miui in eu roms))-style adopted from aosp/a11?. Now whenever I am on a phone call, I immediately press the power button to turn off the screen. No issue on long calls on speaker phone -of course, then the phone is off the face and fiddling fingers :). So not sure, but thought I'd chime in. I suspect it has something to with the latest MIUI updates (after September). Does xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMix2S_V12.0.1.0.QDGCNXM_v12-10 suffer from the same issue? (from August). Curious as am awaiting a shipment for the mix 2s - so I will be a user in a week or two. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] McGrady:
I had Miui 10 before and always the problems. Then I did a complete wipe and now Miui 12 on it. Same problems.

I suspect there is something wrong with the phone. Bought a new Mi Mix 2S and no problems. Runs for 3 days with the same ROM image from Xiaomi.eu with which I have also flashed my old.

But since it had this before the flash I suspect a hardware failure, RAM? Or maybe the kernel got one away. No idea

You will have a lot of fun with the Mix Mix 2S! Find it still an extremely beautiful phone especially the ceramic back is something special and so far not a single scratch even without a cover.

Same problem here since a couple of days on my Mix 2S with stock MIUI. Anybody here has any ideas as to why?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Could be anything on or in the mobo or a loose connector/bad contact or ribbon cable.

Mobo's can get cracked solder joints or damaged internal traces on multilayered PCB's as well as damaged chips etc.

The current firmware may be simply incompatible with the hardware even if it works in most units of the same model. Try flashing the stock firmware it normally comes with... a test.
