Hi everyone, please help! (SOLVED)

I am on Xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 8.8.16, i thougt it was 8.8.3 bug but it is same on 8.8.16, none of sensors is working, as example gyroscope, rotation is not working, seems to be light sensor problem... Can it be OS problem or hardware? How to troubleshoot?

Phone is from Ali so i am not sure will i be able to return it if it is hardware fault or even because i flashed Xiaomi.eu ROM.

Please help! Thank you!

They can't cause bs for flashing Xiaomi.eu roms, if I got this right, your bootloader was unlocked when you got it?

You can try asking the seller for help, try flashing a GSI or get someone's boot and vendor TWRP backup.

Your persist partition is corrupt. I had the same problem, fixed it by using a friend's TWRP backup of their persist partition. You should ask your seller for help with reflashing your phone back to stock MIUI.

Will you please let me know step by step, how to fix the problem? I also flashed my mi 8 se to 8.8.23 eu. ( Via TWRP)But none of the sensors are working.

Download fastboot rom of MIUI China Stable V9.5 ROM from Xiaomi > use WinRAR to extract persist.img>Mount or flash this image to Persist partition in TWRP. Dont flash to any other patition only Persist! IF you dont see this partition in your TWRP change TWRP.
