I sprayed wd-40 on the sensor. After one hour, rebooted into twrp & reinstalled the custom rom (RR un-official by ashok soni). Maybe the heat generated during re-installation did the trick. FP sensor now working fine.

Just replace to broken circuitry, probably both finger sensor and underlying IC.

Wd40, why put oil on your phone?

I mean it could be dielectric, no shortcut risk, but mostly hard to wipe and a mess

It miraculously worked for me! The problem had occurred due to operating my phone in the rains. Thanks again.
I would like to ask how the charging thing helped out here?

Hello sir, fingerprint hardware not available came for my mobile. please help me sir what can I do.

It is a hardware fault, whatever people tell you. It either becomes glitchy or stops from working completely. If none of the advices above works you will have to swap the broken hardware out.

I thought so too but then i found that then spongy thing arround thr connector was pushing the front end up when the phone heats up, (stange at leat) so i arrange some adesive like the on the battery connector and put it só the top part cant push up.
After that i did the alcolh method posted here,
And its working ever since

I tried alot of the methods suggested here with no luck but I did fix it by using the guide below and my home button and fp have been working perfectly for about a month now.

*go to settings>> device administrators >> untick
"Android device manager" >> deactivate it.
*go to apps>>all>>Google play services>> disable it.
again, apps>>Google search>> disable it.
*check the status of FPS/home button under *#808#
menu.
*if it doesn't helps, activate Android device manager
again, enable Google play services and google search.

Credits go to the user Gaurav Rohilla in the oneplus forums. I couldn't post the link since I'm a new xda user. Search this in oneplus forums if you want to see the op: [work around] for dead Fingerprint scanner/home button

Method-3 how to work at step-9

I dialled *#808# and did the finger print auto test and result was PASS, but in spite of many reboots, it didn't work.
1) I also went to reboot menu & wiped all cache but it still didn't work.
2) I also tried to follow Method-1 but i don't know how to go to Settings>Apps>All (since under Apps feature, I don't see any option with the name of "All". I also don't know how to find "com.oneplus.fingerprints.service". Could you please guide step by step.
3) Now, I am trying Method-3 but i don't understand Step-9. How to enable hardware buttons etc. Could you please guide step by step.
I am sorry for my ignorance of all above features/buttons. Request your help. Thank you.

Can someone pls help me, beucase in my town I don't know anyone that knows how to fix One plus 2 phones.

 

[Prithvi9964]

Thanks. The 3rd method worked for me

Ok, so loads of people have faced this problem. This guide will help you to make the home button/fps work again!

Do the fingerprint sensor test first

• Dial *#808#
• A menu will appear
• Select Finger print test
• Select Finger Print auto test
• If it says pass, you already have a working sensor
• Reboot the phone to make it work again
• If it says fail, follow the given methods!

Method 1

1. Put the phone on charging
2. Note: Do not remove the charging cable during the whole procedure
3. Go to Settings>Apps>All
4. Find com.oneplus.fingerprints.service
5. Select Clear Cache
6. Select Force Stop
7. Press the Power button for 10 seconds until the phone is completely off
8. Switch it on normally
9. Check if it works or not!

Method 2

1. Press the power button to bring up the reboot menu
2. Long press on Power Off option
3. Reboot to Safe Mode will appear
4. Click ok and let it reboot
5. Check home button if it works or not
6. Reboot normally
7. Tip: Try doing method 1 in method 2 when in safe mode

Method 3 <<Tested working by me

1. Drain the battery to 0%
2. When the phone switches off, keep pressing the power button and starting it
3. Keep doing Step 2 for 20 times
4. This is for draining the left over battery completely
5. Now, charge the phone to 100% keeping it switched off
6. Remember: Charge to 100% Works only when it is fully charged
7. After it says "OK" and it is fully charged, keeping the charging cable in, press the power button to boot the phone
8. Remember: DO NOT TAKE OFF THE CHARGING CABLE HERE
9. Enable the hardware buttons from settings if you have turned them off if you have been using software buttons (Settings>Buttons)
10. Check if the home button and fingerprint sensor works

Method 4

1. Clean flash OOS Stock version 2.0
2. Check if the home button works now

Best of luck!

kudos

Unfortunately, neither of the 4 methods works for me.

*edit: What I did, I reformatted all data wiped all cache. Installed the latest CM13/picogapps. BAM! it's working again!

Oke i just had a oneplus2 come in for this issue ..come to find that its a software issue.
Solution 1 (only works if hardware is not damaged)
Root your device.
Download Root Essentials app from Google Store.
Open Root Essentials and head to fingerprint gestures and turn it on and test your home button now.
If the button works , turn off fingerprint gestures from root essentials and head to security setting to set up fingerprint.

Solution 2 (NO HARDWARE DAMAGE)
Install Custom recovery
Flash RR Official
Root your device.
Download Root Essentials app from Google Store.
Open Root Essentials and head to fingerprint gestures and turn it on and test your home button now.
If the button works , turn off fingerprint gestures from root essentials and head to security setting to set up fingerprint.

Make sure your Home Button is not physically damaged from botched repair.
If it worked please write here to help others.
You're welcome.
