Fingerprint scanner doesn't work after updating firmware - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

OK so my whole issue started when I rooted the phone and unlocked the bootloader. I knew my phone shipped with the lollipop firmware but didn't know there was marshmallow firmware available. I wiped the whole stock ROM in twrp without updating to the latest EMUI or backing it up. Dumb decision on my part because I basically soft bricked the device and couldn't flash any ROMs because it was stuck on lollipop firmware.
To sum it up, I found the official MM firmware on huawei's site, used a windows program to extract the .IMG files and manually updated the firmware through fastboot. I thought I flashed everything needed, because the moment I flashed resurrection remix MM, it booted up properly and everything worked fine. But now I just figured out the fingerprint scanner doesn't work for some reason. I'm wondering if anyone knows what firmware file is for the fingerprint scanner hardware? Knowing that and flashing the file through fastboot might fix the problem but I'm not sure..
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Try a factory reset and it will work , if not ,install a new update.app

Thanks I forgot to update this post, it turned out to actually be ressurection remix that was the problem. The latest version of that ROM doesn't work with the fingerprint scanner. I flashed the aosp CAF marshmallow rom and the scanner works great now. Its weird though cause I reported this on the RR rom's thread, and people said it worked for them.
Edit: tested with another huawei honor 5x, but this time I properly updated MIUI to the latest MM firmware before wiping the stock rom. I then flashed RR again on this new phone, and came up with the same problem. So it has to be the ROM itself.

Can one install a 5print ROM update if they

are running a custom ROM? My friend just called me & said he just got a phone call from 5print & they wanted him to download a file to update his OS. He did not do this yet because he is running a custom ROM & not sure if it will brick his phone or corrupt the OS. Any ideas?
anyone?....anyone?
Turns out they just wanted him to downgrade back to the older ROM, they also confirmed the new ROM will be out soon...so nothing new.
well assuming that his phone is hard-spl then he can flash whatever he wants. as long as its for his device he will be fine.
What is a five print ROM?
Also, if they come out with a five print ROM (heh) with rev A and GPS enabled will we be able to custom ROM it onto a five erizon phone?

Bro did miui dev 6.0 fastboot rom work ?
Yeah, wifi and all will work no doubt on 6.0
use xiaomi.eu rom...flash from twrp...everything work properly for me.
site: xiaomi.eu
I use EU ROM currently too and it is the best one for me to date, also freezed some system apps with Titanium Backup.
But still dont know, if theres a way to downgrade to 5.1 if I dont have backup from 5.1, because my Kenzo came to me with 6.0... It boots fine, but wifi dont work, so also other radios, so its not usable
P.S. Can I flash with TWRP(zcx) old EU ROM recovery with 5.1 and radios will work?
I guess ill try that now

yes...you can directly flash 5.1 rom from zcx.
backup your data then do factory reset in twrp before flashing LP rom to remove any MM encryption.
hope you can downgrade without any problem..happy flashing.
anyway, probably your bootloader will relocked. but i am not really sure about this, just check it first after flashing LP rom.

I tried that yesterday, except I wiped all except cust/microsd , flashed 5.1 eu rom and then I flashed also SuperSU, it was a disaster, phone only shows Mi logo and turn off...I cant go to twrp, only to fastboot. Im going to get computer in two hours where I have everything set up And will try to go to EDL mode and then flash With MiFlash... I doubt that flashing 5.1 will work with wifi

from fastboot, are you check your bootloader? it seems your bootloader relocked, thats why you can't pass mi logo
if your bootloader relocked, you can easily unlock it using miunlock.
for wifi, you can easily flash any miui mm firmware from twrp.
Thank you for the tip, didnt thought about that...
im gonna borrow computer now, I have all drivers installed etc on it...
If its only relocked and I will be able to boot and wifi will not work, where can I get firmware (and you must be thinking LP firmware not MM, right?
btw I flashed older EU ROM MIUI7, 5.1 then flashed through zcx supersu and reboot, now Mi logo only flashss and turn off. Only fastboot I can enter.
I will then first check if BL is locked, and unlock it if it is...
thank you for help
Ok so you were right, BL was locked so I unlocked it and got enryption problem after booting up, I had to reflash ZCX TWRP, because EU ROM replaced it with official 3.2.0. So now I am finally booted up on EU rom MIUI 7.3 by xiaomi.eu/Beta, Android 5.1.1, but Wifi as expected dont work, also SIM is not recognised.
What and where to get radios I have to flash to get it working? Because it says unknown under system info about version of radios
Also it says unknown device ID (IMEI,..).
I have backed up all partitions before on MIUI 8 EU,6.0, so do I need to flash those radios or firmware or do I need it from 5.1? And where to get it if so
Nice I got it to work, restored EFS,MODEM,FIRMWARE ROM,FIRMWARE EMMC and wifi works and SIM is working )
Nice I had backup of that...still not sure if all works as needed, gotta test a bit

good, seems your problem already solved. :good:
Yeah, now a problem is I cant access fingerprint or password lock, I think because I cant connect to Mi account, cant find my device, also cant manually log in, because it cannot verify "find device", also cannot access to "Privacy" to install 3d party apps it is a must to enable this... Also settings freeze occasionally. I think I still didnt do something right... Any tip?
Thank you for helping me!

sound like firmware problem, you can try to flash firmware from above link which suitable with your current android version. if you're in LP, flash 6.7.21/7.3.2.0 and see if it work. or, you can flash one of MM firmware above.
to avoid from getting relocked, you can delete emmc_appsboot.mbn from zip package using winrar/7zip without extract it and let the apps repack it again.

I tried flashing your firmware 7.3.2.0 and had to restore EFS,MODEM(maybe only modem) to get wifi,SIM working also your firmware fixed only I could log in to Mi account and find device, but still couldnt set PIN,FP, also tried calling and couldnt hear anything also on the other side no voice.
Im losing confidence that I can get everything work on 5.1 MIUI7
Then I wiped everything expect microSD and wanted to restore backup I made on EU ROM,MM6, but it said read only. Then I flashed 6.10.13 EU ROM and it works everything perfectly here...
Still want to downgrade to MIUI7,5.1 if theres a way to get it all working, because I heard battery is lil better...

ah...this is only for battery life?
miui 8 a lot better on battery backup comparing with miui 7. also you got android M with bunch of feature & security update.
if you want better battery, flash xposed & amplify (you can limits nlp wakelock), flash kernel & use darkness/zzmove gov, use adaway or minminguard to remove ads.
still want more? flash stable aosp rom & keep using above way. pure stock android will give you better battery comparing with miui.
Thanks for all this great info!
I used few CM roms for this device, but none of them were working flawless...Which one are you talking about? I tried almost all Nougat based and had a lot of problems, only CM13 from thestrix were the closest, but I like MIUI though... Thank you for your time to help me!

give a try for nx rom or aicp, both mm base. i really like both rom stability & feature. almost all my friend using both rom
for N, its still in progress & you won't get stability using N for now. give more time to let dev work & you'll get stable N which better than MM.
you're welcome, enjoy your device & dont bricked it
Thanks man, I flashed NX ROM and its stable and fast so far, also 400MHz unlocked by default ,..Flashed it with pico gapps and kenzo radios.
I want to flash xposed and amplify now, hope xposed doesnt do contra effect.
Thank you again!

No sound through main back speaker. Please Help!

Hi to all. I have noticed after flashing a ROM (forgot which ROM I flashed) I lost my sound. So if I play a song through my speaker it doesn't come through at all but the song still plays... But if I change my phone ringtone it plays the preview of the ringtone through my speaker properly. I then changed ROMs multiple times and it doesn't fix this issue. I'm now currently on Nitrogen OS with Super SU 2.85 installed (I have posted a photo on the version of the Super SU I flashed). How do I fix this issue. Please help me. It would be greatly appreciated.
Have you properly flashed the firmware?

I have not flashed firmware for any ROM since I started changing ROMs. I have not used a ROM where they asked to flash firmware before flashing ROM so I'm probably still on the stock Firmware my phone came with. Before I changed software, I was on the last public MIUI developer version of MIUI 8 so from there on I just flashed ROMs but never changed the firmware. Should I change the firmware? If so do I backup my Nitrogen OS ROM, wipe phone, flash firmware, then restore phone or is there a better method?
Just flash the firmware (after wiping the /system) before installing the ROM.

I flashed MIUI firmware 7.7.6 and it didn't work.. sound through back speaker is still not working. Should I get a newer version of firmware or is there possibly another method I can try?
Oh, boy...
Yeah, get the latest 8.3.15 firmware.

Bootloop on "newer" roms even after factory wipe

Hello everyone,
i got a Redmi Note 3 pro for a friend some while ago, since i dont wanted to stick to MIUI, i just flashed ResurrectionRemix since this was the most used costum rom back then.
My friend now suddenly has the problem that his phone just bootloops all the time. So i tried upgrade the rom to a newer version but it just keept bootlooping.
I also already tried formating the data partition as well as the storage but nothing helped so far. I even tried a few different roms but no difference there either.
But the weired thing is that i found an really old full backup (1.5 years old, only system and data) of the rom he used before and when i flash that, it just works fine.
I really dont wanna go back to that old and buggy rom so is there something else i could do to fix this problem?
Have you tried flashing a newer firmware? IIRC there's a thread that includes links to all the past and latest firmwares for kenzo.

If u unofficially unlocked bootloader
Then U need latest miui rom bootloader. First update to latest miui 10 fastboot rom using pc. then unlock and install twrp .
Then ur custom roms will boot.
If u have unlocked ur bootloader officially using miunlock tool. then just flash latest firmware which includes emmc. This will directly update ur bootloader. Then u can flash custom roms.

[SOLVED] can't flash custom roms anymore

Hey everyone,
I am very new to the OP7TP, comming from an HTC U11 which is.. old and very different.
Anyhow on to my problem:
When I got my new device I decided to get rooted, and then chose to use reseruction rom.
Which was a pretty nice experience, but I also wanted to see what else was being released, and Havoc came along.
I flashed Havoc according to the instructions on telegram, using fastbootd..
But when I went to boot it just kept rebooting to Bootloader mode
I restored my device using MSM, and triedagain, with the same result
But now, for the real trouble: reseruction rom does the same!
When flashing it, it will just reboot to bootloader every time.
It seems I can't flash custom roms anymore?
The stock OOS rom seems to be fastbootd and MSM flashable and boots without issue.
Has anyone encountered this before? any advice on how to proceed?
I am using the European OP7TP HD1913 with latest stable OOS 10.0.9 HD01BA
Solution:
Well I do feel silly now..
I flashed Reseruction Remix using my Desktop
Flashed Havoc (and all other attempts) using my notebook
And even tho I installed, which I thought were the correct fastboot drivers, evidently they are not..
When I tried flashing Havoc using my desktop it worked instantly..
It was just fastboot.. no errors during flashing, wiping, erasing and such... but it did something wrong..
