Question Fingerprint option missing under Security

[nickelnine]

I am missing the fingerprint scan option under the device Security settings in both stock EEA 14.0.7 firmware as well as any A13 custom ROM. I also flashed 14.0.4 Global but still no fingerprint option.

Is there something I can do from a software side to make the option appear?

I performed the calibration on the fingerprint but the sensor was not recognized.

Hope to hear some suggestions.

Try flashing all files from the above link. One of them should work for you.

Thanks. I flashed each one but no fingerprint option appeared.
Any other suggestions?

Strange. Was any hardware changed on your phone recently?

You can try this. Install "Hidden Settings for MIUI". Open it and search for "fingerprint". Click on the one shown in the image below and see if it works.

Yes, I had cracked screen replaced.

I'm currently on AOSP ROM so I don't think that will work until I flash to stock.

I think that's it. You will need to calibrate the fingerprint sensor. You can search up google for specific instructions for that.

Thank you. I saw a video on how to do it. I will try it and hope for the best.

According to Google and some videos, it seems my fingerprint sensor is broken. When I try to calibrate it, this error appears: Unknown FOD sensor type.

Or maybe this calibration is only for in-display sensor phones. Ours is a physical button so it seems either it is actually broken or the OS is for some reason rejecting to accept it.
