Fingerprint sensor not working fully - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

I was able to flash the rooted boot.img, but it seems to have caused a problem with the fingerprint sensor. It works a little after a fresh reboot, but then it stops working completely. Anyone have an idea as to why and maybe how I can fix it?

i have the same problem, you fix it?

Probably, incompatible Boot
Try flash stock Boot back and check Fingerprint

Hi Abumarf and depooltrd,
I have the same symptoms. I've flashed boot.img from C432 (rooted now) to my C567. It was the only way to unbrick it.
What region is rooted boot.img you flashed from. Do you think it is a software problem, not a hardware one?
Also, could anyone who has rooted MHA-L29C567B138 confirm that the fingerprint sensor works fine?

I'm not sure as to what region I flashed but I can guarantee you it's a software problem. After checking the System/Bin/ it was clear that the fingerprintID folder and a few others were missing. This is most likely what causes the Fingerprint sensor to no longer work. All we can do is wait for Huawei to release the complete C567 update so we can revert to complete stock.

That is promising. So did you notice these problems right after you had flashed the boot.img?
BTW, it could work for hours after a fresh restart for me. What about yours?

Yes, as soon as I flashed both boot images that I had. One with root and the other with stock. I asked around and a dev buddy of mine told me that the KangVIP root isn't always interchangeable with the non-KangVIP roms. It was the same case for the Mate 8. Mine works for a few minutes at most, but I did flash an unknown stock boot image though it did nothing. It's a pain to live without a fingerprint sensor

I don't think so but I think there may be some hope. Ajsmsg78 released a full root and encryption guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/root-root-mate-9-t3556590) which I'm going to try from the complete beginning later to see if it'll restore functionality.

Then we may be stuck until Huawei releases the C567 update. It's pretty disappointing that we seem to be the only version without an update even after almost a month and a half from release. :crying:

Hey Abumarf,
Looks like Huawei released the new MHA-L29C567B167 and also decrypted-boot-MHA-L29C567B138.img has appeared as well. Did you try to flash any of them? Did it fix the fingerprint sensor?

No I haven't as of yet. I've been trying to download the C567B167 OTA through Firmware Finder but it wasn't working for me. I also haven't had much time to look into it. If you or anyone else do end up trying either of the solutions, please let me know.

I tried decrypted-boot-MHA-L29C567B138.img and it fixed the fingerprint sensor, but I didn't manage to restore data partitions and the ROM wasn't full. Finally, I updated through FunkyHuawei and everything works fine now.

I also did just that but just fixed the problem with the Huawei apps and system update by changing a few file names. Works like a charm now. Will wait till Monday and attempt to flash the B167 update. But as of now, I'm fully root, decrypted, and enjoying life!

Received an OTA today, any idea what it is?

I had an OTA update available this morning. It's only 51.3 MB so it can't be anything major. Maybe a stagefright fix? Anyway, I pulled it just in case anyone wants to check it out. I'm already on D80130B. I'm rooted with TWRP. Is there any easy way to install it without losing TWRP?
Here's the link for it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5ast6zoe514ikjk/update.zip?dl=0
Is it 878 TMO/T-MOBILE(USA) V30c?
D80130c_00.kdz is 1.05 GiB as usual.

I thought stagefright fix too so I let it go for the heck of it. It installed fine and I didn't seem to lose root or anything. I ran a stagefright test and only 2 are blocked which I think is what it told me a couple months ago. I didn't see any obvious changes.

I do. I just ran it right from my running phone. I was in the middle of some work so I wasn't watching it but as far as I know it installed fine. If I check for updates now it says there are none, up to date.
Just tried to install the OTA (51.3 MB).
Phone rebooted, tried to install it and showed error.
Have to hold power button quite sometime to reboot the phone.

I noticed that it fixed all but one stage fright vulnerability.
I also just realized that it patched many of the current root solutions.

Oh really? So you lost root then?
I just switched to TMO and got a refurb LG G2 a couple of weeks ago. I stupidly took the OTA before rooting and then realized that many of the root exploits didn't work afterwards. Thanks to the brilliant devs at XDA, I did find a method that works: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197
I'm a happy camper running CM 12.1 now!
I am half tempted to unroot using SuperSU unroot tool, see if I can apply the patch and see what happens... or has anyone tried this yet?

I'm not sure that would work. Being rooted doesn't usually prevent the manual installation of updates. The problem is whether or not you have a custom recovery. I believe the OTA needs the stock recovery to install.

Can the stock boot image be extracted??

I need the stock boot image to flash onto my mate 9. The rooted one from KangVIP messed up a few things that I don't think root is worth. Any help is appreciated.

The fingerprint sensor no longer works, except for a short period of time after a reboot. The Fingerprint I'd settings crash whenever I try to enter them.

I'm also back to square one even after flashing the stock image. The only reason I can't follow your guide is that I have the American variant, MHA-L29C567B138, which hasn't been found yet at all. Unless you mean I can use the boot image of any firmware on the list?

If something is different in the C567 boot image you'd need someone with a C567 to extract their boot. I'll see if I can find any but I guess you have tried already.

L21C432B367 recovery and boot .img request

Accidentally when i updated from B360 to B365, i immediately got prompted with the update to B367, and due my motivation to go on latest security patch i didn't stored the B367 package on my HDD, so i didn't had the chance to extract from it the stock boot and recovery images for future updates. Now B368 is out and obviously I'm in need of those files; someone have a copy of them to share with me (and other members too)?

I think you can use the recovery and boot.img of B360/B365 etc. if you have mate can try else let me know I will download the file and share.

Today i flashed B365 boot and recovery files: at phone startup I've encountered bizzare things, like an unmatching PIN of screen unlock (never changed it in months), and so I wasn't able to access the phone anymore; luckily i always have with me on my external SD my previous backup, so i reflashed TWRP by fastboot and restored the backup, recovering the access to my device. Anyway i took the files requested by me by myself; for everyone that could ever need 'em, you can find those here

Yes I'm talking about the downgrade from dp4 to 10.
Let me tell you what I did,it was by mistake that I fix it.
I was on May build with face id broken,I downloaded the June ota yesterday but by mistake I choose Telstra ota the one that end with 002.A1 and face id work.
Then I realized that the build number is wrong for my phone so I tried to flash the full June build the one that end with 001 and again face id stopped working so I decided to stay with Telstra build

Best advice I could give is to first patch the boot.img when all your magisk modules have either been disabled, or removed. Then dirty fastboot, (-w removed) the factory image to your inactive slot, let it boot up, then fastboot the magisk_patched.img to both slots. Also make sure your platform-tools are up to date. Best of luck to ya :good:

Question Wifi and Hotspot Not Turning On

Hi,
I bought my phone three months back. Ever since the last update Version Name - WW18.0840.2106.86 my wifi and Hotspot just won't turn on.
I have been through the asus forum and seems like alot of customers are facing this issue.
One of them confirmed that even after replacing motherboard the issue persists. Others are facing air trigger issues after replacing the motherboard.
Just wanted to know if anyone here is facing similar issues.
DO let me know your thoughts on should I visit service center and Get my motherboard replaced or should I wait for the next update. My current Version Name - WW18.0840.2107.151
PS: My phone is not rooted
Thanks
I have not had these issues personally. I just updated to .151 last night though, so we shall see.
The general consensus is that the mobo needs to be replaced, and will most likely not get fixed with a software update. If it was correctable, a major issue like this would have forced a new FW update after .86 caused your initial problem.
You could always try flashing raw FW if you really want to tinker, but I doubt it will help. I would hit the service center and get the mobo replaced.
Good luck!

Really? I have same problem after update. It didn't allow me to turn on wifi. But if its sure that installing kernel would solve the problem I might give it a try
Would you elaborate your situation regarding this sir?

Where did you install OTA file? Does Ota file install mean you in the home screen of the phone? Ota is in the main storage, right?

OTA files are the standard updates. There are a lot of how to guides that answer most of these questions, which may be why nobody is jumping up to walk you through it.
I wouldn't trust someone installing OTA files in TWRP because the system handles them already without any software. That is just asking for problems.

The link I posted earlier is included in that. Not sure why nothing showed up for it, but maybe you'll have better luck getting to it that way.
There's always a possibility it is a hardware issue. A lot of them have been SIM, Wifi, and Bluetooth issues. If you suspect a kernel issue, make sure you are following the instructions to restore. If you only flashed a boot, you didn't follow the instructions.
