I've lost the functionality of all my sensors (sensors like auto rotation,gyro,compass,acceleration,hall etc except proximity are not working) in my Redmi Note 4....
I've googled and found that :;
To bring back the sensors back alive , we should flash persist.img file of our specific device......
I've tried to install via fastboot but it is showing an error like this....
When I type :fastboot erase persist persist.img
Its showing:[remote:erase operation on partition persist is not allowed].......
But my bootloader is unlocked.......
Can't do anything with my phone......
Sensors without mobile is like a man without his ..............heart.....
Please share your help guys........
Try TWRP rom and check.
There is a way bring back all sensors alive but you need to sacrifice miui rom, but in custom rom all sensors works well. COLOROS ROM for RN4 sensor fix file can help you.
If you go back to miui, you will face "This device is associated with an existing Mi Account" problem. If you are OK with this, go ahead.

I've done this 5 6 times, but nothing helps.
Tried to flash it via edl method (it well reparation n am sure it might fix it for sure, I'll tell you the exact method to put it on edl mode(works every time I tried)

I know there are several threads about unbricking RN3 but I didn't find any article that could solve this problem, not even in other forums.
This started when apps were continuously force closing for no reason and I decided to flash a new official ROM (going on MIUI settings) but the problem persisted. So I did that via MI Flash and I had the same result.
As this force closing situation were being more and more frequent I flashed several times different official MIUI ROMS from EDL mode (developer and stable) and then, after one of this times, it just don't start the system anymore, its just keep bootlooping again and again.
I also tried another methods, like flashing updated fastboot ROMS but didn't work out.
Another thing, I've flashed TWRP once but it asked for a password so I couldn't access the files and flash a custom rom and my phone is locked (that xiaomi lock situation). But after that I've restored the original recovery (that appears an image of a unplugged/plugged phone to use with pc suite but it doen't recognize my device).
So, I don't really know what to do anymore.
I didn't even use this phone for a complete year and xiaomi lacks of support in my country and they wont help me, like they replied my by email.
Anyone could help me with this issue?
Thank you, by the way!

Actually, I tried to flash a file to do that, but didn't work out. Maybe it's the method that I've used.
Could you recommend anyone?

I've tried to install TWRP but it needs a password to decript data. So it appears 0mb on everything and shows an error to format, wipe or do anything.
Remember, my device is still locked by miui.

take a picture of data format error and put here
Make sure you have try this:
wipe->format data->type "yes" and ok
also try this command in fastboot mod:
fastboot erase userdata
and remember use latest twrp
After flashing via twrp I was shown /persist error invalid argument . After doing bit of Google I got To know we need to flash persist.img via twrp to get back my camera and sensor working.
When I flash my twrp nandroid backup of old rom everything works..but when I get back to oos3.1.4 error pops.. rom gets booted everything works apart from sensor and camera.
Everytime I do clean flash so plz don't ask me that..

I had the same problem like you and yet can't get back to OOS 3.1.4
That's why I am staying on OOS 2.2.3 forever ... well until I can find a fix...
If you really only need persist.img you can find it in the Mega Unbrick Guides Files although I think this one only works with OOS 2.2.3
Here's the persist.img file from my last nandroid backup. Latest bootloader and all that. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3KASUh3N9vVbXphYWRGS2xjNVk
It's not an IMG file but you should be able to put it in a TWRP folder and "restore" it.
Actually i solved my problm in same way.. accidently found persist.img in onplus mini tool and everything went smooth..now no issues in any rom.

Well instead of using the Yureka persist.img I am supposed to use the persist.img from the Unbrick Guide, right?
Obviously we have to use files specific fr our device..so download unbrick mini tool package..use that persist.img and flash according to guide mentioned over there....

I've had this sensors problem in my redmi note 4 device, i flashed the fix & it solved all but created a new problem, i can't go back to stock rom.
The "persist.img" file in this fix belongs to someone else RN4 phone. Now I'm stuck with his mi account in my device. It needs his password to unlock. Ur only option is to use custom roms
You can find the persist.img file inside the fastboot zip from here.
It isn't flashed by default with Mi Flash but it's there.

Persist.img file comes with fastboot zip is around 5mb, but actual file size is more than 32mb, i flashed manually the smaller one and phone doesn't boot, keeps restarting in boot logo. I had to flash this sensor fix again to unbrick.

OK bro thanks and what if I flash the persist.IMG from the fastboot rom and not from some others mobile??
Persist.img file in fastboot rom is low in size, below 5mb, if you flash it, you get bootloop. Actual size around 32mb. U can see it in the fix file.
The partition on the phone is 32 MB. If the persist.img file is only 5 MB it could mean that the data inside the partition is only 5 MB, it doesn't have to be 32 MB.
Take the recovery partition for example, it's bigger than the size of the TWRP .img file, but it doesn't mean that TWRP file is corrupted.
However, to flash persist partition you need the unlocked bootloader and a modified fastboot.exe version that can restart the phone in EDL mode, and from there you can flash every partition with MiFlash.
Of course, data size of Persist.img partition maybe only 5mb, but after flashing the that comes with fastboot rom, all i got is an infinite bootloop. Even miflash doesn't flash this partition, I've seen it in miflash log file.
I tried to flash the persist image, but it simply refuse to do it, even with MiFlash (you can enable the flashing of persist.img by modifying the .bat file that MiFlash will use to flash).
As I write on my post above, to flash persist.img you need to be in EDL mode, but I didn't tried it personally, so I don't know if it will cause bootloop even this way (but I read of people resolving problems this way, so I don't think it will do harm).
Camera and sensors all work well on MIUI 10 beta 8.11.15 Pie, as well as Lineage OS 16.
But when downgrade to MIUI 9 or 10 Oero via official MiFlashTool(fastboot) , or Lineage OS 15.1 via TWRP, it says "CANNOT connect to camera". What's more, all sensors do not work in CIT mode (of course they do not work in normal situation).
I think flash MIUI Oreo via official MiFlashTool(fastboot) should over-write all files about Pie, Isn't it?
Any ideas to this strange bug?
My poco has the same symptoms.
I installed the B-S-G camera and it did not work well, so I uninstalled it.
Then, I woke up original camera application, "CANNOT connect to camera" happened.
This phenomenon is similar to Pixel 3, but this one is more serious, coz it will not get better after reboot.
I have another twice try to flash MIUI stable 9.6.18 and beta 8.9.13 (both of them are Oero) via FASTBOOT from beta 8.11.15 (Pie), but camera app still says it " cannot connect to camera ", so can't google camera apps.
Did I forget something important? How to Downgrade from Pie to Oreo? Have any one succeeded in downgrading?
I think it's not hardware broken. Please help me. Thanks
succeeded in downgrading. need flash back a persist.img backup from 8.1 (not persist.img from official .tga fastboot package)

I just flashed version 9.6.18.0 from fastboot, then after installing the recovery "recovery-TWRP-3.2.3-1010-POCO_F1-CN-wzsx150.img" I flashed the file pocopersist8.img in the "persist" partition, despite this the cameras do not work and neither do the gyroscope and accelerometer sensors.
However after trying several persist files a few days ago I found one that runs 3 cameras (except the IR) even though it takes about 15 seconds to boot up, and in any case the sensors still don't work, anyway thanks for trying, I had already tried but I said to myself I try one last time.
My Poco sensors stoped working while o was flashing some ROM I don't remember but it was maybe an sGSI.
After flashing alot of vendors on miui or pixel e, iam still facing the same issue.
Any help would really be appreciated
Stock with miflash.....and always backup...lesson learned
seems like persist.img is corrupted!
if you have fastboot rom (miui10.3.7 (2.7gb) , extract it, and further extract it, i will come something 8 gb in total!
inside images folder there will be persist.img
flash that img file, in TWRP /persist PARTITION (BE CARE FUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
or better use ORANGE FOX RECOVERY to flash PERSIST.img
then reboot device and check!
if it still doesnt work then use miflasher, and flash this FASTBOOT rom from image folder!
REMEMBER!!!!!!!! don't tick the box, "FLASH ALL AND LOCK" this will relock your bootloader! , simply select "FLASH ALL" button in miFLASHER (down-right)

download latest version from

extract platform folder, put FASTBOOT FILES of MIUI rom in Platform folder and then try flashing
also
put everything in root C:/ and only one folder "C:\images"
long paths are not recomended for MIflasher!

i gave up and started using custom roms! they are closer to Stock android and have amazing customizations!
Evolution / Havoc / AeX on android 10 is amazing!
Reloaded OS (android10) is CAF based rom and its faster than others but have no customizations!
CR droid has maximum customizations but its little laggy!
you may also use
Masik13.3 and XiaomiEu roms which are Modified MIUI versions! ( google MIUI ROM BUILDER) and you can predefine features!
these roms can them be flashed via Twrp!
