May be solved by recalibration
Android smartphones with in-screen fingerprint sensors may become inoperable or fail to register fingers, especially during bootloader unlocking.
This may be caused by the loss of calibration data stored in the persist partition.
In such cases, the dedicated tool Relife RL-071B can be used to repair the problem.
(Of course, this is not possible if the sensor is physically broken…)
Relife RL-071B comes with yellow, blue, pale orange, and black rubber.
The rubber can be inserted into the hole in the main unit.
The color of the rubber required depends on the smartphone, but this single unit can be used with calibration tools from various manufacturers.
Calibration can be performed by pressing the rubber against the in-screen fingerprint sensor as instructed.
Instructions are included, and some manufacturers have written instructions.
When calibrating, it is better to calibrate in a room that is as dark as possible to increase the success rate.
