[GUIDE] [Mi 4] Fix sensors not working!

[userprince]

So i guess you are here because your sensors are not working after flashing certain Rom or Kernel Right?

But Don't worry I'm here to help you

NOTE: If you are on new partition table (i.e if you flashed miui mm) use this partion name "mmcblk0p21"

Things you need

• Root Access
• Terminal Emulator
• persistnew.img

Open terminal emulater app and type
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/persist.img

Then you will get the persist.img file on your storage. copy and take it on a safe place... Like on OTG Drive or On PC...

Now copy the downloaded "persistnew.img" file to Internal storage and on terminal emulater app type

dd if=/sdcard/persistnew.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22

Now Reboot... Now check your sensors with "Sensor Box" app on play store :fingers-crossed: Hurray!! Your sensors will be working again :highfive:

Enjoy!

Thanks to @satvikvg (for new partition name)

Yep it will fix Ir blaster too
Make sure your kernel is set to Permissive

Is this for CM or MIUI? I know there are lots of sensors not working CM, will this enable all sensors on CM, or this is just for those who revert back to MIUI after using some Custom Roms and Kernels and found some sensors not working?

It depends on your Rom and Kernel. Try using stock miui or official CM12.1

I am using Official CM12.1 only, with stock kernel. GPS is broken in that for Mi 4W, and this fix also does not work, I'm sorry.

your GPS works on Stock Miui?

 

[Duron23]

CM 12.1 Stock Kernel.

This does not fix Gyroscope and Temp sensors on CM 12.1 Stock Kernel.

 

[digiboy1]

your GPS works on Stock Miui?

Yes it works.

 

[userprince]

Yes it works.

Than it is your Rom bug
