Hi there.
After my attempts to get my H8 as stock like as possible I realized that the Fingerprint ID settings got lost in the process. Directly after oem unlock I flashed latest twrp and did a backup. But after restoring that the fingerprint setting was still missing.
I googled the problem but didn't really find any similar case so maybe someone can give me a hint. Is that something that might be to recover from the twrp backup? Does anyone know the settings "name" internally?
I am a little bit lost here. It is not a complete dealbreaker but the few times I could use the fingerprint sensor I was quite surprised how fast and flawless it worked.
The smart key feature still works btw.
-- Update --
Here is the logcat right after reboot which mentions 'fingerprint' - the device complains that "/system/bin/fingerprintd" cannot be found. Which is definitely there. So it really has a problem with the underlaying fingerprint software/driver system. Don't think its hardware related.
Any suggetions?

I've done this. Depending on which firmware you are on, you should flash the boot.img corresponding to the specific firmware you have on your phone. Trust me, I went the long way around to figure it out. Twrp doesn't seem to restore everything on my device, frd-l04.

One sure way to end the issue is to get her a non smartphone.
App lock would sorta work but not exactly, pretty much anything you do can be bypassed by either factory resetting or by reflashing stock firmware.
You would have to root and install TWRP then pin lock TWRP so she wouldn't be able to unlock it to flash the device or factory reset using recovery, then you'd have to make sure USB debugging is off then password lock her system settings so she couldn't re-enable it, this would prevent her from flashing stock firmware or factory resetting using system settings. Then you'd have to lock playstore so she can't install the apps that are causing problems, or you could install the problem apps and lock them to keep her from using them(although she might still be able to uninstall those apps and reinstall them from the web and they wouldn't be locked).
You can make it difficult for her but blocking her completely would require heavy specific modification to the device, if it's even possible.

oww... hmm sure i'll try that and i'll let u know
thanks man!
Hi, I hope you guys can help. I have an OPO which is on Android 8 as per this link and it was all working fine (well, it's a bit buggy in places, but I can live with it!).
I have TWRP installed (3.2.3.0), and had no problems with it, was easy to access and install/backup with it; I have reasonably recent backups too (but wait for it....), and phone is rooted using Magisk.
Anyway, in a recent bout of paranoia, I encrypted my phone. It's a long story, but the company I work for recently employed an IT company to manage its systems and I didn't want them poking about where they shouldn't (they are not particularly good).
The encryption worked straight away, and clearly functions as it should; rebooting the phone requires a pattern unlock, and the phone is clearly marked as encrypted.
HOWEVER when I went to try and get into TWRP, I was faced with the same pattern unlock request - I tried it, and my pattern doesn't work. I have seen suggestions about disabling screen lock, or changing it to a PIN, but this doesn't affect the pattern unlock on TWRP. I reckon I can probably access the backups when unlocked via PC file transfer, so presumably can flash these via ADB, but I'm a bit loathe to in case something horrible happens.
So, is there a solution? do I:
try and reflash TWRP/different version of TWRP
flash the backup?
try and decrypt the phone
cry?
with regards decrypting, I can't see any way of reversing the encryption one it has happened - kinda wish I'd known that before I'd done it.
Help would be greatly appreciated. It isn't a major problem, phones working, it's just my modding is kinda curtailed....
Would this one work?

yep, that's awesome, fully up and running now. Just for anyone else experiencing this problem, I downloaded the TWRP version listed above, then flashed it via ADB (unlock USB debugging on your phone, connect it, open a powershell window where you keep your adb files, 'adb reboot bootloader' then 'ffastboot flash recovery [NAME].img' and it will reinstall TWRP with the new version).
Bit of a moment when I rebooted to recovery, as faced with the same decryption unlock window, but this time the decryption worked and was able to access TWRP fully.
Nice one.
Hi Guys,
yesterday i tried downgrading to OOS 10.0.2 on my EU OP 7 Pro.
I did not succeed. Installed Full Version 10.0.2 via TWRP an then got stuck in Boot Animation.
Also TWRP is not asking for the Lock-Pin and so no filesystem availiabel.
Had to change Boot Slots to get it going again.
I want to downgrade because there is a major bug with location sharing in Whatsapp currently.
It does not work, because there is no way to alow location sharing in the backgrund for whatsapp. Only while your using it.
Is there something i am missing out, if i want to downgrade? Do i need a full wipe first? hopefully not ....
Thanks in advance for your ideas!
regards
Michael

Flash android 9 with edl mode then upgrade to 10
Thanks, superac11. I do not know what an EDL mode is and am pretty sure, that i'll loose my data that way. Any other ideas?

If you somehow get twrp working via fastboot then that's s the only way you can copy. Flashing individual partition does not work for you so that's s the last way but you will loose data.
Hi there, my OP6 is running:
Android 8.1.0
Oxygen 5.1.8
I haven't updated in a long time because I was afraid to lose root. Now I actually want to unroot my phone and figured I could also do the updates.
So main questions are:
How do I perform unroot? Should I just perform the android update that's waiting in the settings menu?
Can things go wrong? Can my phone get bricked?
Does my phone get wiped?
Incase my phone gets wiped, what's the best way to make backups of system settings?
You can download latest 10.3.1 zip and do a local update...in os updater options...
you can do it without wiping...BUT I STRONGLY RECCOMEND YOU TO FULL WIPE...CAUSE YOU'RE SKIPPING AT LEAST 3 ANDROID VERSIONS...AND YOU MAY FACE MANY ISSUES if you don't...
you can root your phone with twrp...very easy...nothing would brake...but if you dont want root anymore just do a local update...and its done...but your bootloader may still be unlocked...but without any root or twrp...
And for backup there's option in settings it is called BACKUP XD...if you have google account...you can just tap on backup and then on android setup your apps and settings will stay...
Hey thanks for the response!
Does Google backup also save settings?
The bootloader is actually the problem I just know remembered. How do I lock that again?
The main reason I want an unrooted locked phone again is because banking apps make a fuss about this and won't work.

No, you can't do that. You cannot jump from 8.1 to 10. System update will give you an error. You can do it this way 5.1.5 (8.1) > 9.0.9 > 10.3.1

Yes it does...
And for banking apps...some may work with Magisk Hide option...you can hide your root for that specific app...and it should work fine....try it...
And if you want to lock the bootloader completely...you need to use MSMDownloadtool instead...
