After updating the requisite firmware, I performed a clean flash of the latest CRDroid build (previously I was using the March 28) build. During the initial setup, as well as after through the regular settings page, I was unable to register any of my fingerprints to the biometric unlock. In the setup screen, the UDFPS lights up when pressed (see screenshot), but no matter how long I keep my finger pressed on it the print will not register. I have rebooted, clean flashed, and dirty flashed the ROM, and the problem appears every time. I have tried installing both with and without GApps. I even tried flashing LineageOS instead of CRDroid, and I had the same issue. What steps should I be taking to troubleshoot this?

Do you have the backup of persist partion?

No, the only backup I have of my previous install is the Swift Backup of apps and settings.
Try going to stock and check if the fingerprint is working. If its working then it may be a bug. If not then I think you have over written the persist partition.

What's the easiest way to revert to Stock? Should I just download one of the packages in the pinned post on this forum and sideload?
And if my persist partition is corrupted, what recourse do I have?
Try MSM tool. Probably one or both slots are derped. Also maybe you use wrong base firmware for these roms

If persist partition is corrupted you have no other choice except to give your phone to OnePlus service center as this is unique for every phone.

MSM Tool worked fine, but I was also unable to enroll there. Seems my only choice is to find a OP service center and get the phone sent out.

Just dont forget to lock your bootloader and say that the new update broke your phone. BTW dont forget to take a backup of persist.img when you flash a new rom.
Yeah I have one stored in the cloud before I ever even unlocked bl. Can't just use any model persist partition..it's particular to each device. Sending in is only option or don't use fp option.

How did you back it up before unlocking the bootloader? Wouldn't you need to unlock the bootloader in order to root your device to access the root directory?
Also, is there any other root directory I should back up after I get my phone back, besides persist?

I think he took the backup via Partitions Backupper app which was the same app I used take a backup of my persist.img. But the app requires super user access to take backup.

Many ways to accomplish without root. And you back up the persist partition. Not root directory. Msm Read back with F8. Then find persist and send it to the root directory of C drive with Read back feature. . Password oneplus

I just Rooted my Z1 Compact by this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081 and now I have 4.3 firmware UK. Now I have some questions:
1. When I check on phone if unlocking bootloader is possible, it says no. I haven't read that article about unlocking fully, but is there still any way to unlock it? Because, once Stable official CM comes out, I could install it.
2. When I check for software update, it says already latest, and doesn't provide KitKat(Don't forget I'm on UK rooted 4.3). Why? Also do I loose root if I update by official software?
3. As I said, once CM, stable comes out I will install it. But until then, I'm gonna stay on official firmware + root. What is simplest way to update to latest firmwares but still having root(or if really required, first updating, then rooting that latest firmware)?
I tried to be as straight as possible with my questions, and it would really mean a lot to me, any useful answers because I don't have much time for reading all those posts. Note that before this phone I had already Samsung galaxy mini with many roms, but for this phone it's much more complicated, so that's why I'm asking this all. Thanks.

Well, yeah it's from T-mobile, so there is no way to unlock bootloader? Thanks for link, but is there any way to update just using phone? I have problems with PC, whenever PC detects flash drive inserted(my phone in flash mode) it freezes at the end of installation, so I have to flash on another PC, which is frustrating as I can do that like every 2 weeks(I have only 1 PC)

Unfortunately, no. I had my Z for about year living in hope but Sony have locked it down too much for the devs to crack, so I'll never get another Phone from a carrier again.

Modding the Phone breaks the OTA update service which is why, once you decide to start modding you're better off just flashing an .ftf to update.

Z1 compact from tmobile? or z1s? or you have a z1 compact on tmobiles network? If it says bootloader unlocked allowed: no, you cant unlock it and will not be able to install cm. Where did you get the phone from?
Correct me if I'm wrong but.... Xperia Z1 Compact is still not available in US much more on carriers like T-Mobile.
If I guess correctly, 'bootloader unlocked allowed: No' should be stored in the TA partition. Maybe it's not so hard to find, if you compare two TA backups (one disallowed and one allowed). Is there any research done already about that?
@Smoller do you have a backup of your TA partition (DRM keys)?
@zxz0O0
It's impossible by just comparing. I'm not sure if you still remember my reply on your bootloader unlocking thread but I posted there a comparison between 2 the same TA backup just between 2 reboots and the result was that they are very2 different from each other.

What? You made a TA backup on your phone and after 2 reboots it was completetly different? No I've never seen a post like that, that sounds really weird.
I would really be interested to see this myself.
Yes it says exactly bootloader unlock allowed: No. And I'm from Croatia so most likely it is also available in other Europe countries, especially UK...From T-Mobile...really weird it's not still on US Tmobile because this phone is made in January. And I can make a DRM backup if needed, if there might be any way to unlock bootloader. Also, just to be sure, if I input unlock SIM code for other carriers, it has still everything same except possibility to put SIM cards and use other carriers, right?

You did forget it... Anyways here it is... 2 working TA backups made from the same version of Backup TA. What I only did between the 2 backups was

2. Reboot the phone
3. Make the 2nd backup
And here are the results.
Please do note that I tried both TA backups and both of them are perfectly fine when restored on my phone. Also I made a 3rd TA backup and it's also very different from the last 2 backups which is shown in the screenshot.

Isn't it only the log that changed? And the padding at the end? If not then I guess the partition is randomly encrypted and the key is stored inside the partition.

Nope! The log there is only like 4 lines. While the difference between both files are hundreds or even thousands of lines You could see the grey and yellow markings on the left. That should graphically show you what & how big the difference are between the 2 files.

If your software is old enough (Marshmallow) you would be able to s-off with Sunshine without unlocking your bootloader, and then root the device. You'd have to pay $25 for it in that case.
The only other option I can think of is to ask the Sunshine team if they'd be able to manually s-off your phone without wiping it. That would require you to mail them your device (and pay the $25), so it depends on how desperate you are. You'd have to ask them if that's even possible.
Else, not much you can do.

Your bootloader being unlocked is not related to sim/network unlocking. The bootloader was unlocked prior to the s-off process. You can leave it as it is.

So I have gotten TWRP installed and I cannot for the life of me get SuperSU installed. I tried to install Magisk first and it failed or it's on there and does nothing. I have followed a few different videos but for whatever reason I cannot get SUperSu to install. Any ideas? I have tried installing from TWRP and also tried installing from adb sideload both "worked" but no SU Icon and no root?
Solved the Issue, I stopped trying to install SuperSu and did an adb sideload of Magisk and got Root. Thanks guys for all your help

Big thanks to him for finding out bout the most important part the modem....
Here we go... I am assuming y'all know adb and fastboot so leaving that out. But make sure you have latest oneplus drivers and adb cause fastbootd has to be used when flashing.
First read Craznazn post on unlocking bootloader. And he has a t-mobile magisk patched link you can use to flash read his post. After your backed up unlocked and rooted. Get this app from play store.

looks like this. Now this is gonna take a a min like 45-1 hour this is your phones active firmware. Mine ended up being 26gb. . While that's going go ahead and and get eu or global your gonna use from xda post or oneplus site full version only. I did global first could not update so I went ahead and did the eu ba 11.2.3.3 (updated one) everything is same works great.
After download use the payload extractor I hope y'all know how and what that is if not please stop and research. Label that folder after it's done global(eu) so I won't get confused. (Go ahead and patch the boot image if u want root);
Now on your phone find the zip file partition backup made for ya. Transfer it to pc. Extract it. Your gonna see some .img and .gz. it's gonna look like
( On the .img file I went ahead and erased the 2021-04-15 part)
Then I but both roms side by side and this is very important what I did was took the boot.img and renamed it to orginaleu/globalboot.img from the global/eu folder and placed renamed the magisk patched to boot.imgand place in the global folder.
IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT DATA TO WORK AT ALL. TAKE YOUR MODEM AND MODEMST1 AND MODEMST2 FILE OUT OF YOUR TMOBILE FIRMWARE FOLDER COPY THEM TO THE GLOBAL/EU FOLDER IF NOT YOUR NOT GONNA HAVE NO DATA NO SERVICE AT ALL. AND TAKE THE CARRIER.IMG FILE FROM TMOBILE FOLDER AND COPY IT OVER TOO.
I made this flashall.bat it worked just fine. I might have left out a few partitions but it is all good. Now on pc open a blank text document and copy and paste the change2 flashall.bat.txt and save as flashall.bat. put one in each folder and there conversation folder in one and the recovery folder in the t-mobile firmware folder. To flash just adb reboot bootloader then fastboot reboot fastboot. Make sure your in fastbootd. Screen will look like the recovery screen but it will say fastbootd. Once there click on the flashall.bat and let it do it thing. It may take like 5 mins to boot. Now if it stuck on the oneplus boot animation. Go back to. Fastboot and -- set-active =a or b. And if your rom acts little jumpy or crazy go back and check the boot.img u flashed might hot them mixed up.
My first guide maybe this will help you til the msmtool is ready. I know it get frustrating sometimes that's why I tried to describe much as I can

Very nice guide and there is only one thing I want to point out is there is A typo in your script (I guess)
you have 2 "fastboot flash system_ext_a system_ext.img" which I think one of them should be

Took me a while to figure out, I got boot loop and bunches of errors like "Not enough space to resize partition" if I don't change it, after changing, everything back to normal.

With a locked bootloader, your only option to get fixed is to try sideloading an OTA - usually, the OTA has to be either the same as what you were most recently running or newer. Click the yellow How To Guide quick filter at the top of the list of threads for one of the root guides. Even though you're not rooting, one or two of them should tell how to sideload an OTA - just ignore things that reference root.
This is why the instructions for the Beta program say you should have an unlocked bootloader, as without an unlocked bootloader your choices to fix the situation are much more limited.

You're welcome. Since I never do the OTA process, I always flash the full firmware zip (which you can't do with a locked bootloader), I can't advise any further than what I said about using the quick filter for the How To Guides. At least one or two of these threads should help you, although they may concentrate on doing so with rooting, as long as you ignore the root parts to the OTA method, you can still follow the instructions. You'll get better help to any questions in one of the threads that give OTA sideload instructions:

much appreciated yes want to avoid root or unlocking the bootloader, why does google have it to make it so difficult to downgrade. Maybe take a leaf out of apple's book
To sideload you need USB debugging enabled. Reboot the device to recovery, either by powering off the device and holding power and volume up, let go of power when the phone vibrates, on the the android with an exclamation mark, tap on volume up I think it is. Or by typing in terminal
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
since it's stuck in fastboot. In recovery tap on 'apply update from adb'
Then download the ota package from here.
Grab the platform tools (Google for it) and unzip it to c:\platform-tools if you're running windows. Open a terminal in the platform tools folder and type
Code:
adb sideload /path_to_ota.zip
Let it do its thing and you should be up and running. I wouldn't try to downgrade from the a13 beta, but you can try. Good luck!

thanks for that, any advice on how to ota pls?
Can't find any instructions sorry.

Just a few things. You don't need USB debugging enabled for OTA updates (you can't boot into Android to enable it anyway).
Just be aware that with OTA's, you can't downgrade - only reinstall the same version or upgrade, so you need to make sure you're on Android 13 to reinstall ota version 13 (recovery mode will tell you your version).
Here's a video to help with the ota update.

What happened with the OTA updates? Did it complete? Getting the windows driver and fastboot/adb (platform-tools) to all work can be tricky..
what about the https:// flash.android .com/build/8151327?target=raven-user&signed=true Website?

Flash.android uses fastboot, which requires the bootloader to be unlocked. User can't unlock it since Android won't boot..
I don't think I'll be flashing beta version again lol, too much hassle to downgrade.
In the end decided to send in to Google to repair.
I think they will give me a replacement instead of repairing it.
Did anyone notice any major bugs with android 13, can't say I did?

Copy that. Would of probably just been easier to reflash the beta back save everything, unlock the bootloader and then flash android 12

Yup, very easy to flash ota, but op didn't feel comfortable doing it unfortunately.
Might seem dumb but I used the web browser tool and flashed back to stock via that from 13 B3 it unlocks bootloader and flashes and re locks bootloader , back on stable 12 working fine then opted out of 13 beta
The way I did it was downloading the entire firmware from google and then changing the config to remove- w so your data doesn't get wiped. Then running the .su or .bat depending on your is. It worked for me. Cheers
if using qualcomm tools it need mbn file . i cant find that mbn file in the firmware folder . urgent hlp

Wrong fastboot. Do it from the bootloader page: 'fastboot reboot bootloader' or just turn on the device in bootoader mode without navigating to fastboot/fastbootd. Then use the same command. Should help.

Does relock the bootloader on official rom will give error and need to flash official rom again?
I want to root my Batman edition but scared it will give bootloop after relock bootloader in future. As the Batman official rom is never be found on the net, I would lose the Batman theme if flashed to normal version.

It may give you a device corrupt error after re-lock that requires a factory reset or RAW flash meaning you may risk losing your Batman stuff - whatever that is. Best to root and leave it unlocked (you can still unroot it), or leave it alone...

The only reason I want to root it to take out the Batman theme. It's in Zip file inside the Asus Theme folder, I can extract it but all files are unreadable. Where's photos and videos are in .enc format and APKs cannot be open, even changed to .zip format.
It seems all Asus themes are like this not only for Batman theme. So my plan is to root it and take out the theme that may be inside System folder that only can be reach via root. Then relock the bootloader before selling it later.

Or unlock it and take a full system image backup with TWRP or something else and keep it stored. That way you can roll back and re-lock in case you want to sell the device one day.
You could also switch your active slot and leave one with the Batman theme on the inactive, but need to be very careful not to overwrite the Batman slot. Requires strickt manual management of where system updates are installed. Not recommended but possible.
