So this thread is intended to discuss the issue of the fingerprint reader being deactivated by Realme after unlocking the bootloader. As well as possible solutions, and ways of requesting a fix from Realme.
Realme is a company that belongs to the same group as Oneplus and Oppo, namely BBK Electronics. Since it is possible to use the Fingerprint Reader on the Onplus devices after bootloader unlocking and the Oneplus 7T being quite similar in hardware to the Realme X2 Pro, it would only make sense that it should be possible to use the sensor on the X2 pro as well after unlocking.
So this seems to be more a political decision rather than a hardware limitation. :good:
Ways for you to request a fix for the issue are ideally via the Realme Forum, that is the Indian Forum (as they speak English, that more easy for most of us, than using the Chinese forum. And the Indian version being basically the same as the European version as well).
You can comment in this thread:

So let's make this Realme great again
The first thread seems to be deleted.
Dont know if its intended, but deleting threads with suggestions/reports of issue feels some kind of strange...
That was a thread about a recap of the introduction events. Where you could share issues and make queries.
Ther is also this thread, where a Moderator replied and wants to forward the issue:
https://c.realme.com/in/post-detail...64863306907648&subForumId=1197159778845982720
I attached a screenshot, just incase it gets deleted.
there's another one on their forum. Maybe it helps if we bump up the like/comment counter?
they can't ignore us if we can get enough noise.

I think fp is disabled in color os only. May be in custom roms it will be available to use.
Sadly it seems that nobody is interested in this issue. Neither customers nor moderators/developers in the realme forums...
May be if some developers start developing a custom rom, then we will get to know. I think the unusability of fp sensor will be limited to color os after unlock. But it probably might work with custom roms
hi all , please go and hit "i am facing this issue too" button on the below link ,
I have created a bug report for the finger print sensor issue after unlocking the bootloader
https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1200373166703116288
Well You guys should also bump your issue in the flipkart product page so that their sales will get a hit and then realme will take some steps to fix this .
I spoke to a senior developer at XDA FOR THe FINGERPRINT ISSUE AFTER BOOTLOADER UNLOCK ......HELP IS ON ITS WAY !!!!!
ENJOY GUYS !!!!!!!!!?
Lets hope for the best

I guess if it's disabled after the bootrom unlock it will have to be a fix or an custom change for the bootrom to allow the finger print

At first we should hope there will be custom roms for this amazing device. Realme's official support seems extremely poor. And without it's support I don't know if there will be any bug solutions or custom roms...:crying:

They released a bootloader unlock tool and released kernel resource so I think that they're supporting custom development. But let's hope that they will fix this problem ASAP.
In the latest episode of #AskMadhav for the month, the company’s CEO, Madhav Sheth has answered some questions
The company already said that bootloader unlocking will disable fingerprint scanner, but this will be fixed in the upcoming update said the CEO. It will also release a separate flash tool in Q1 2020.
Lets wait now.
He was talking about the realme x2

Hi all,
some time ago some people got their device (bootloader) unlocked but could not recreate this unlock because the original creator @jcase) could not release it for legal issues. The problem was that the DMCA would not permit the unlock of a tablet, now apparently the things have changed. The US Library of Congress has updated their Library adding wearable devices and TABLETS.
Now the problem is that these changes take 1 year to take effect. Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks
P.S.: @jcase were still looking at you...

I have no plans to release anything new, outside of htc and mayabe moto, for a while. Working on something bigger.
Most people are still on 3.2.8 and I'm guessing its patched in the newer versions. I guess that other developers in the forum can help if @jcase doesn't have time to release his unlock, but probably at least give some hints and maybe someone else could achieve it similar to you.

Let's close this thread and give @jcase a break. Over the years he has been a tremendous resource to the community for which many of us owe a debt of gratitude. He has now moved on to other pursuits which is great. It was reasonable to ask; the answer came quick and was decisive.
The solutions provided by @ggow fill in most of the gaps. Sure, everyone would love an unlocked bootloader but pure Nexus/cm11 on a locked (and now discontinued) hdx is pretty sweet deal! A far cry from the balky Frankenkindles created by layering Google Services on FireOS.
Agreed
Unless you screwed up like me and now have a Saturn Device. That said, from the 5.0 beta Amazon sent out, it looks very close to the stock android skin. THAT I am personally fine with.
The main question is, what is jcase working on...
I installed this rom. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/dreamux-rom-v1-s8-style-t3598377
it works great. the problem is the fingerprint is not present. is there a solution to this problem? how can I add the fingerprint?

I don't have this variant but, your best bet is to post this question within that thread for developer or member guidance with your issue.
Typically support is offered by developers via the development thread or, in some cases, a separate Q&A thread that's specific for that development.
If a Q&A thread existed, most of the time, it's announced on the OP or the following post #2 of said development thread.
Good Luck!

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
Fingerprint doesn't work on S8/ Note 8 ROMs. This includes all ROMs based on the new Samsung Experience firmware. You can however download the "hi locker" app to replace the lock screen and then fp will work (at least on some of the ROMs). I haven't tried it though as i like my stock lock screen. Guess that's the price we pay for having edge panels and a newer software on the S5.

Ok, I was running super v20, and all was good, then I was bored and saw A-O OREO was out and upgraded.
Is it possible to go back?
yes, they are both ARB 1 so you can flash back to super v20. Just don't flash to anything that is ARB 0.

I wanted to go back too. The update created a host of problems; Podcast playback failures. Messenger+ went completely wonky and failed sooo many times. Frozen screens during videos. Several Apps would crash on a regular basis.
I'm not very good on much more than the basics of how to do some of the things you genius contributors do (not a dig, I truly respect you), can do and advise us on, so I go to the support teams at the stores, finding the most geeky of the Tech Crew for help, and if necessary, I'll go to two stores (Verizon) ... and in both stores, neither tech guy could find a fix and noted the LG V20 was notably having issues with the update ... even after a full Factory Reset.
After spending close to 4 hours on the phone with Verizon's Tech Team, (I sat at my desk while doing other work so not a total loss of time), I was able to get an "additional" Verizon credit of $200 off the upgrade to the newest V40 ThinQ ... making my purchase price $449. In addition, there's little to no development on the V20 anymore as it's reached the end-of-life-cycle (... I hate how fast these phones are becoming end-of-life-cycle!) ... so I upgraded.
I'm not suggesting everyone spend the money to upgrade, but I really understand why they want to.

Well, new is only useful if its functional, and friendly. I think super v20 was pretty functional for me. Oreo didnt bring any awesome new features that i wanted or was waiting for.

The bolded bit i don't get. a FDR should reset everything back and you build like new. All app problems should go away unless they weren't compatible with Oreo which at this late date is unlikely.
Why downgrade, I am over the moon at having got Oreo in my VS995 especially as I got the Oct security patch almost immediately. Also surprised as I live in the UK and the update arrived OTA.
Only thing I have found is that there does not appear to be a way to enable the Fingerprint setting, although my fingerprint still works.
So you wouldn't upgrade again? Bc right now I'm exactly the same. Super satisfied with nougat and mk2000 kernel but actually I wanna give oreo a try. Was at least battery drain better on oreo?
I hate to be the one to ask, but does anyone know of any DEVs that are working on making their own source code for the fingerprint reader? I don't want custom ROMs without a fingerprint reader and I don't really want this phone without custom ROMs. A large factor of me buying this phone was due to OnePlus having excellent community support, which this one does, but that is all null and void for me with broken fingerprint on third-party ROMs. Guess I joined team OnePlus at a bad time -.-
Yes many people are working on it recently a omni dev had a breakthrough and almost got it working give it some time and it'll be working...
Good things come to those who wait. Rome wasn't built in a day my friend.
Looks at top thread ... Wonders why this one was started.
Bear in mind that this is one of the first phones with an ud fp scanner. Give it some time, we really got super devs behind the scene working on it. Be glad that this phone has allready sow many custom roms waiting for the fp solution.
