Sensors stopped working - Help! - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, I'm facing a severe issue with my Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon variant).
Few days ago I noticed that the screen wasn't auto-rotating anymore, but I tought it was a temporary problem of my ROM (AICP official, latest nightly), so I passed by.
Yesterday I tried to format the phone from recovery and reinstall the ROM, without luck, the rotation wasn't working.
Then I tried to reset to the fastboot ROM (MIUI 7 6.3.17) through Mi Flash, I booted, and... now EVERY sensor has stopped working. Phone doesn't rotate, in cardboard app it doesn't move, brightness does not adjust automatically, screen doesn't turn off during call when putting the phone on the ear, and the compass is not working.
Also, apps like Lux say the value is -1 everytime, apps to re-calibrate the proximity sensor crash at startup, and I have a Settings force close when I enter security options to set up my fingerprint (only in CM13, from the MIUI7 setup I can register my fingerprint)...
So, I unlocked the bootloader then I tried to install MIUI8 but, IMEI was modified and WiFi wasn't working. I installed CM13 and restored NVRAM and everything (apart from the sensors) was working.
Now I re-flashed again with Mi Flash, and I can't SETUP the phone, because WiFi and cellular data are not working, and the phone is matched with my Mi account, and won't activate without login.
How can I fix all this mess? If needed, I can also take apart the phone.
Please, everyone, this is very urgent!
Thank you all in advance, and sorry if there are errors, as I'm writing this quickly.

HELL YEAH!
Ok, everyone, nevermind.
I FIXED IT!
It was the persist image that was corrupted. My bad I tought Mi Flash would reset everything, even persist. But I wasn't right.
I looked into the "flash_all.bat" script and "flash persist" wasn't there. Thanks Xiaomi for the headache.
2 days of searching on Google and I didn't find this thread, and I don't know how this is possible.
Now I just have to understand why this happened totally random.
Everyone that has this problem, refer to the thread up here, works like a charm!
Bye!

Thanks for sharing your solution. I learned something new.

Guys i have the same problem with my Redmi Note 4 when i rooted it successfully its sesor didn't work but after unrooting it again works well. So is there is any way to root the device without sensor fail???

Madsurfer's eUI 5.9 ROM 21s - fingerprint problem

Hello everyone,
at first - best ROM I ever tried!
Just one big problem for me:
When the screen is off (sleep mode), I CAN NOT unlock the phone with fingerprint - during first 5 seconds - when display is off, it works. I have to turn on display with power button and AFTER that I CAN unlock with fingerprint with no problems. I want to unlock my phone with fingerprint when the display is off even more than 5 seconds.
Is there a solution?
In stock ROM (16s International) everything works perfect, there were no time limitation. Fingerprint worked everytime even when screen was off for 10 minutes for example.
Where is the problem? It is no hardware problem for sure.
Someone said to use the same finger 3 times instead of 3 different fingers. Try it. It may solve your problem.
I am using the same ROM without the problem which you experienced although sometimes it took more than a second or required a couple of taps on the sensor to unlock the screen.
Go to settings, battery, power saving managements and see if the Ultra Long Standby During Sleep is turned ON. I have that disabled.
Edit. Sorry, I thought that you had the manufacturers' ROM. I had the factory ROM.
I have the same 3 fingerprints for better recognition for sure, but this tip did not help me.
Also I tried to turn off the Long sleep too, did not help to solve this.
Any other ideas @madsurfer1? With screen ON works flawlessly.
Hi guys
I'm experiencing exactly the same issue with my fresh received x829. Haven't tried much on stock ROM but apparently everything was working. Then I flashed AOKP and lignage os v13, and with both the fingerprint only works in the 5 seconds after screen off. And when I mean works, I mean detect a finger, if it's the good one unlocks and if not shows an error. After 5 seconds, the phone shows nothing at all, no unlock and no error.
Have you had any success since these posts ?
Regards
AOKP on my x829 has fingerprint "working" from sleep. It sometimes takes a while or multiple attempts though.
Thanks bwalter
@Razor99 any news on your side ? Looks like only you have the exact same issue I encounter.
same problem

hi
i have the same problem with most of the roms,
is there any solution?
My solution was full wipe, including internal storage. After than clean install ROM. With these steps fingerprint begin works even in deep sleep mode.
Keep in mind that Max 2 has very bad fingerprint at all on every model compared to premium brands. It is slow and sometimes react after few attemps. But works.
If theese steps wont help you - proove claim to the seller of your mobile.
If fingerprint is your priority, I strongly recommend another model, except Le Max 2. Maybe Le Pro is now better with fingerprint.
Try it and let us know.

find the device stopped unexpectedly

Hi guys, sorry for my bad English. But I have a problem and I do not know where else to turn. The other day, to make a clean installation, I made a full wipe and reinstalled 08.11.23. The phone turned on and worked perfectly, but when it restarted, the message "find the device stopped unexpectedly" appeared and the phone restarted to recovery. I deactivated the account of xiaomi but it did not work ... If I make a clean installation I can use it perfectly, but when restarting it is the problem ... help please!
Sorry again for the English.

It looks like you did some kind of de-bloat and removed some services. I had exactly the same problem, but if you can list out what all you removed, I could shed some light.
Install the rom pixel and let me use it perfectly. But obviously I lose facial and miui recognition for example ... but if I go back a miui rom, the same mistake happens to me

THE ONLY ONE I DID WAS TO MAKE A FULL WIPE AND FLASH A ZIP. DO NOT ELIMINATE ANYTHING BY MY HAND.

Problem with WiFi, bluetooth and hotspot

Hi guys, I got a big problem with my redmi note 4x qualcomm.
Yesterday randomly wifi, bluetooth and hotspot stopped working. I can activate them but no devices is recognized and my redmi is not recognized by others, so I guess they stopped working.
I reset the miui but nothing so I installed twrp and Pixel experience but still no response from wifi, etc.
Now I was about to follow this guide ° https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../tutorial-fix-sensors-wifi-bluetooth-t3823622 ° but i don't know if it will work for the redmi note 4 because it's suited for note 5.
Can you please help me somehow?
Sorry for my english
If you did a complete factory reset including data and you still have the problem it's probably time to talk with Xiaomi as it could be hardware. Have you tried running some of the Apps that test and / or recognize hardware in the phone? Before this problem came up did you root or install TWRP?

I didn't root or installed twrp before the problem showed up, I guess it's an hardware problem. Thanks for the reply, all the "supernerdmasterdivinegenius-members" ignored me apparently.

Redmi Note 4 Nikel infinite boot loop after turning on GPS

So I am having weird issues with this goddamn old phone. My intention was to root it and then work from there, I flashed this ROM. It worked fine for a while, but recently I tried to use the GPS and the phone simply started a reboot cycle that never ends. I wiped the cache, reboot it... and it didn't worked. And then a even more bizarre situation happened: I wiped everything (literally, only the SD card remained intact for flashing purposes), flashed this ROM, it booted, I selected the language, wi-fi, google account, create a PIN, etc.. the usual. But then 5 minutes later, the phone started the reboot cycle again, wtf? That's it, the phone is gone? If I am fast enough to turn on the "airplane mode", the phone stops rebooting, but as soon as I toggle it off, here it comes the damn rebooting again
I'm having the exact same issue on my Nikel. Today was my third wipe to get it working. I've read somewhere (can't find the source now) that it's allegedly related to a google play update that messes up some gps-related libraries and can cause bootloops on android 6 devices. For me it started on 24th February - I woke up to the phone already in the loop. Maybe blocking the update or manual removal can fix this issue. I'll try to find more info and will post if I figure something out.
Also, it wasn't flashed or even unlocked when it happened for the first 2 times.

That's so weird... I just bought a refurbished Redmi Note 8 Pro to substitute this cursed nikel, it's a damn shame how this version is not popular, meanwhile the snapdragon variant is receiving customized android 12 roms as we type these comments, nikel is abandoned smh I will try that "fix" you linked, related to the google services... see if that can fix the infinite reboot. I assume the google maps will not work? Who knows, these bugs are just annoying

And it didn't worked, the phone entered on a bootloop again, I had to quick turn the GPS off and that stopped rebooting. Such a weird bug... the curious thing about it is how the phone was working fine with the locked bootloader, the "original" MIUI, etc After rooting the phone, I tried the few custom roms we have here on XDA and I never used the GPS that much, so I didn't noticed the bug immediately. Tried to flash the MIUI again, the GPS problem remained. I was even willing to lock the bootloader again, attempted to flash MIUI through Miflash and it didn't worked. So I am stuck with a rooted phone (that is working pretty well, all things considered) but with no GPS
Right now the phone is working fine for me, so does the GPS. However, if google services ask me whether I want to increase navigation accuracy with google location service (I don't remember the exact popup text, I'm using a Polish version), and I click agree, everything goes to hell. I've been able to avoid agreeing to google location service until now, but it tries to trap me 3-4 times a day. I just know that it will pop up right under my thumb when I'm trying to tap something else, and it will be factory reset time all over again.
Hi I am in the same boat Note 4 nikel, when I turn on GPS, bootloop is happening.
Has anyone found a solution today?
So i find this link for Redmi Note 4 in
Firmware Redmi Note 4 MTK Untuk Yang Bootloop, Restart Terus Dan Bisa Buka Gps Akurasi Tinggi, Gojek Dan google Map
Download firmware redmi note 4 mtk miui 10, nikel atau 4x ini file khusus untuk hape yang bootlop bandel dan restart terus menerus
www.joelzr.com
I've installed it using spflashtool .. It worked for high accuracy navigation .. It only in english and chineese ..
Reuploaded the file in here ..
1.99 GB folder on MEGA
6 files
mega.nz
After a successfull flash .. Install the google installer apk .. And install your desired app .. And because google play took sooooo long to download app ( maybe my network signal ) .. I download the apk manualy from browser and install them ..
Works fine on my Redmi Note 4 .. Only reboot once ( don't know what happen) and no more ..
Sorry for my english ..

Question Fingerprint solution

EDIT: IF RESET FACTORY DOESNT WORK FOR U JUST GO TO SERVICE CENTER(I did it after all)
Hello
My device is Global version with miui V13.0.4.0.SKIMIXM
my fingerprint stopped working a week ago, then i contaced the support and they said these solutions:
1-factory reset
2-wipe data
3-download latest package
4-clean fingerprint area
i did all and somethimes just right after booting device my fingerprint showed up and working but after about couple hours back to the problem.
on early time of this problem i had fingerprint setting but couldnt open it (couldnt add fingerprint hint) but after some times it removes from setting too then at last after wiping data and solution above , fingerprint never showed up. so i decided to flash the original rom with fastboot and after i did that my fingerprint comesback and was working but again after couple hours stopped.
the thing is if safe mode it was working. even after rebooting to normal working 2 or 3 times then after that stop working again. in safe mode CIT fingerprint tests passed successfully untill right now after half a day i dont have fingerprints even in safe mod.
so i think of downgrading to miui 12.5.7 just want to be sure is it safe to downgrade because when i wanted to flash miui13 it errored with rollback but i edited script and flash was successful.
script edit is safe for downgrade ?
and maybe is there any othe solution that im not aware of?

Unfortunately I have the same problem on my MI11 Lite 5G.
I would be interested if I install a custom ROM e.g. CorvusOS 3.2-V v12.1 if it works with it
So if anyone has experience with it?
