I solved it. Here's my case. (MI 9T PRO FOD failed).
-Received MI9TPRO from customer 2 weeks ago (blank lcd/nodisplay cause by water leak)

Replaced with OLED with biometric support. Bcoz i'm not the owner of coz my fprint failed to unlock. Few days later customer complaint his on-screen FOD not working. (FYI: this my 1st lcdreplacement for on-screen biometric. i just know these FOD issue when customer return-back his phone ask me to fix the fod problem or return back his money.

hi, i have a big problem!
I replaced the screen (at payment) from authorized xiaomi assistence but is 2 times that they put me a screen that recognize only 5 points touch (and in the first screen there was a problem of AOD).
Now they will replace the screen for the third time! But i think it will have the same problem :(
They said that Xiaomi Italia send to them the screen ... so it's original!

If the third screen have this issue, is possibile to solve with some script to flash for recognize the 10 points touch?

Thank you!

I had a similar issue, If it worked before upgrading, probably the lockscreen PIN won't let you add a fingerprint. As I have a custom recovery on my device, and it has a file manager, I went in the Data folder and deleted the PIN file, and it worked.

If u are on MIUI12, Flash fastboot rom MIUI 11.0.4 (clean install). Do FOD CIT. It will work.

Then u can update to MIUI 12 or custom rom

Tq

Hello

I have the same problem: I replaced the oled screen, and now the fingerprint works very (very) poorly; it is not usable :-(

The Mi 9T Pro has MIUI 12.5.1.0 (RFKEUXM) and the fingerprint calibration does not work either.

I never used custom firmware or flash fimware on a smartphone before.
How do I flash fastboot rom MIUI 11.0.4 ?
Do apps, settings or data get lost when flashing?
If data get lost, is there another way?

Thank you.

Hi brothers.
I will place the only method that worked for me with my Mi 9.
The fix is doing a software calibration after install aftermarket unofficial screen.
I had defective fingerprint issue after replace the screen. I was unable to add fingerprint as well.

Maybe you will have to do it many times until you pass all test steps, dont worry. In time you will made it.

Go to config>about phone>all specs
tap several times on kernel version to get into CIT settings
After that go to 3 dots in upper right corner and go to additional tools > FOG fingerprint calibration
In test page click on first start
It will show a message to put the flash flat.
Get a white papper and fold it.
Click in start and quickly put the folded withe paper covering all green button area and hold the paper (without touch any part of screen with your hand, just the paper) untill it asks for black flat without error.
If u got error start the proccess again until reach the black flat step.
When in black flat step, here are the tricks.
Click to start and quickly put your finger in vertical position (must be thumb finger in vertical position only) on green button and hold it placed until you pass performance chart test ...if all success u will see end test message.
Here is the second trick....when u see the end test message.... dont exit, just reboot the phone.
when it restarts go to setting, enable and add fingerprint. Voila!

When in black flat step, here are the tricks.
Click to start and quickly put your finger in vertical position (must be thumb finger in vertical position only) on green button and hold it placed until you pass performance chart test ...if all success u will see end test message.
Here is the second trick....when u see the end test message.... dont exit, just reboot the phone.
when it restarts go to setting, enable and add fingerprint. Voila!

I'm sure your solutions work as defined.
I want to add my 2 cents to this.
For second trick be careful to not perform test fod before recalibrating as it will lock your device with code 0000 and will crash device when you try to unlock screen. Solution is to unplug finger sensor(but you need to disassemble).(i didn't go with it)

When my display cracked recently and I went to unofficial service, after replacement my fingerprint sensor also didn't work.

However technician told me it doesn't need recalibration, just the correct version display for this model, probably with serial codes(maybe there are for pros, not pros, colors black,red, blue, i don't know). So there's deeper knowledge to this, I think.
Check with your technician or order screen for your version(pro|not pro), maybe color variant(?). Great service expressgsm.eu, fingerprint works but have noticed some ghost touches when outside - will verify that

As of December 2022, I had to wait 2 weeks for shipment probably from china and there are shortages as only mine arrived.

For me there is no "FOG fingerprint calibration" in additional tools.
I have an Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite

    After upgrading to MIUI 12 Global OTA yesterday, fingerprint unlock stopped working. When I select fingerprint unlock in settings to switch it on and enter my PIN, phone goes dark and restarts (MIUI splash screen). Any suggestions? Phone is stock and not rooted.
    Additional info: from CIT menu I ran the fingerprint sensor test. Result shows: all success. Next test (Fod fingerprint input test) gives following message: Your phone has password can not enroll fingerprint information
    Not sure I understand the result of this test. Phone of course has a password (required to set fingerprint unlock).

    Okay, an update.
    For me there was not any restart, i was able to register my finger, but then sensor can't recognize, and calibrate, always failed. Came back to miui 11, same. I removed the display again, and cleaned the inside of the screen and the sensor lens too.
    Then I was able to calibrate, and use, updated from updater to miui 12.0.5 and WORKED.
    With 5 point multitouch screen. Checked with more programs, for screen writes always super Amoled, or Samung super Amoled. :) Nothing changed in vendor, or anything, just flashed miui 11.0.4 with Miflash, then updated to MIUI 12. Now I will try the xiaomi.eu mdded roms.
    2
    I got mine today (second one) and I can confirm that it's good unit. Just like original, I can't even see the difference... Fingerprint works fine on miui 12, really fast, no problem at all...

    I recommend pay for a professional to change it or do it with maximum caution possible. The screen is really fragile...

    I believe change only screen is easier than change all components inside to the new frame...

    I put my three screens side by side for comparation and I noticed that the one which fingerprint unlock does not work looks thicker and fingerprint hole on amoled is clearly more opaque than the original unit and the one that I bought on this aliexpress link.

    I also received the screen + frame yesterday from that seller and WOW it's indeed a very good screen! I'm very satisfied
    the product and the seller. First the communication with the seller is top notch, he sends pictures and even a video how to test the screen before installing. He even personally tested the screen before sending it to me, it was a personal video because the package label was visible and he wrote personal codes on the screen.
    I ordered on 28th of december and I received it on 14th of January so that's fine. The screen (I ordered with frame) is TOP NOTCH!!
    It's an amoled 10 point screen and it's even better than what my repair shop used in a previous repair. Now my FINGERPRINT SENSOR IS WORKING AGAIN (bug in MIUI 12 that doesn't accept bad quality screens) It has all the original internals, it has stickers so you can fix the internals securely. Everything works as it should!!
    I RECOMMEND THIS SELLER AND HIS PRODUCT

    I had some difficulty installing it because I had to move all the internals from the previous frame to the new frame. Five times I had to close and reopen the phone (Luckily I didn't put glue on the back glass - I'm even thinking of not glueing it for a couple of weeks to be sure) because the front camera didn't open - the fingerprint sensor didn't read - the back cameras didn't work - ...
    The reason of the problems was dust or condensation. You have to make sure everything is clean and dry. I cleaned the contacts (of cameras, sensors,...) before closing them.
    TIP: Use WD40 electrical contact cleaner and compressed air afterwards to dry it quickly.

    Ok next problem: I use Xiaomi.eu ROM 21.1.6/7 and fingerprint sensor works but after 5 ticks when registering a fingerprint it closed. After calibrating the sensor in CIT menu (TIP: use thick white page for "flesh flat" and something MATTE BLACK (not shiny!!!!) for the "black flat") - calibrating was succesful - but again registering didn't work.

    I then saw there was an update for Xiaomi.EU ( 21.1.13/14 ) and now the fingerprint registering works PERFECTLY!!!

    I used this excellent tutorial (in French but filmed in a good way)

    I'm so glad, I now have a brand new phone :)

    You've got the same problem as me after update to miui12. Have you ever replaced the lcd on your phone? Because I did it.
