So first I installed CM13 + gapps to a new honor 5x phone and it went pretty well until I restored my backup from TWRP (which from another device)
first the issue was my lock screen is giving me incorrect pins. deleted something in the system/data and bypassed it.
then I cannot use my fingerprint scanner (but the pin for lockscreen works now) it shows four fingerprints enrolled (which was mine in the twrp backup) but it says "fingerprint hardware not available" on the lockscreen
so i deleted something in the system / data / user.db which removed the 4 enrolled fingerprint: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/fingerprint-issue-restoring-twrp-backup-t3435170
but now i cannot register the fingerprint. decided to just revert to my stock backup (emui)
and now the fingerprint setting is missing. it appears in the search menu, but whenever I input my pin to register a fingerprint id, it just goes backs to the screenlock settings menu pls haaalp meee
update:
tried reverting back to stock rom by flashing boot.img and system.img from an update.zip (extracted)
was able to use fingerprint scanner again but when I install CM13 (without restoring my backup)
it wont let me get past the set up lock screen password.
whenever I enter my pin, and confirm pin, it wont let me click next. tried skipping it in the setup wizard and went to the lock screen settings and it still wont let me click next after confirming my new pin
my phone has goodix fingerprint and i bought fpc to replace it. itworks. however i lost fingerprint every time after reboot,i use lineage oreo. then the fingerprint will work after reboot to bootloader,What's
the better way to solve the problem??
Hi,
I have a problem with my fingerprint scanner. I'm unable to access my fingerprint settings in any ROM stock emui/LO 13/MIUI apart from LO 14. I flashed LO 14 today and the fingerprint scanner that I thought was broken allowed me to add my fingerprint. I tried flashing stock emui to remove the fingerprint, but I can't seem find the fingerprint setting anywhere.
Hi everyone,
Currently, I am using Havoc os 2.5 which is a pie based custom rom in my xiaomi redmi not 4(mido). I always flash new custom roms but never happened this. Now I have a problem facing with the fingerprint scanner, when I placed finger to the fingerprint scanner to setup fingerprint lock or add a new fingerprint but it's not responding anything. this issue happens only in user as admin. If i switch user as guest or another user and try to setup fingerprint lock then it perfectly works.
please help me to fix this problem. Thank you
hi people, looking to your advice and suggestions.
I was on Android 9 Miui 10. Last night I did a dirty flash to Android 10 Miui 11. There was no issues during this process and the phone booted up fine with no loss of data.
Steps I took -
1) Disabled Magisk modules
2) Removed all screenlock and Google and MIUI accounts
3) Made a Nandroid backup before flashing
Today morning, I tried to set up screenlock on Android 10 MIUI 11. Added the pattern lock, and added a fingerprint. Strangely when I tried to add one more fingerprint (for my left index finger), it asked me to set pattern lock again. Well I set it again, and added the new fingerprint. Same thing happened when I set the face unlock. I added the pattern lock again. But, the patternlock never turned to ON status, even though fingerprint and facelock was showing ON.
When I tried to lock the screen and to test it out, I was able to unlock with swipe (with no pattern, fingerprint or face unlock required). I haven't set any smart unlock as well.. I thought perhaps a reboot will help, but now I'm stuck on a soft bootloop ( the phone boots upto to the lockscreen and reboots before I can do anything )
Is there any suggestions on what I can do ? Please advise. Thanks in advance

Fix
Managed to fix it my myself. FYI
1) Boot TWRP Recovery click Advanced> File Manager> data> system and delete 6 files (ref : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008)
1.access_control.key
2.access_control_password_type.key
3.locksettings.db
4.locksettings.db-shm
5.locksettings.db-wal
6./data/system/users/0/settings_fingerprint.xml
Bootup was successful
2) After bootup, you might find it difficult to set the screenlock password (won't take affect). Follow this -
In a web browser (on any device), log into Gmail with the account you used when setting up your phone.
Go to https://myaccount.google.com/intro/find-your-phone
Press "Lock your phone"
Enter "abcd"
Your phone's screen is now locked. Unlock it with "abcd"
You can now change your screen lock.

Hi there,
Good that you resolved on your own.
Also, this bug can be resolved this way. Try to setup second space. If you are already setup earlier with a password then follow the other member guide until the removal of locksettings db files. Then reboot and try setup the second space.. while setting up it will request to setup the password or pattern for first space and finger prints for second space. Once done move to first space and setup the fingerprints there for first space.
Just making a note here.. so somebody can make use of it in need at desperate hours...
I have spent sometime to figure this bug in the first space but setting up second space solved the bug.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
