How to Calibrate the Fingerprint Sensor in your Google Pixel Phone

Difficulty

Easy

Steps

Time Required

3 - 5 minutes

Introduction

Use this guide to calibrate the fingerprint sensor in your Google Pixel phone. This guide is only applicable for the Google Pixel 6 and newer phones.

You need to calibrate your fingerprint sensor whenever you replace the screen, as most replacement screens come with a new fingerprint sensor pre-attached. If you don't, your fingerprint sensor will not work.

Step 1

Follow these instructions to enable developer options and USB debugging mode.
If you're using a Windows operating system, download the Google USB driver and follow these instructions to install it.
Navigate to this page to prepare the calibration software.
If your phone isn't turned off, do so now.
Hold down the power and volume down buttons on your phone for three seconds to enter Fastboot mode.
Your phone will show a red warning triangle with the caption "Fastboot mode."
Plug your phone into your computer.

I'm in "Fastboot Mode" as described.

A connection to my PC is not yet possible.

A selection menu can be seen on the Pixel 6 display:

- Start

- Restart bootloader

- Recovery mode

- Rescue mode

- Bar code

- Power off

Which option to choose to install fingerprint calibration software?

Andreas -

As mentioned in other sections, this does not work in the latest version of Android. Will likely be updated soon.

Rick Stanley -

I found a comment against the step below that worked for me. That is to enable developer options and then enabling USB debugging:

1. Go into the Pixel 7a Settings > About Phone > Build number

2. Tap build number 5 times to enable developer options

3. Back in Settings > System > Developer options, enable USB debugging.

As soon as I did this, then following the instructions above actually worked.

Roger Wills -

How am I supposed to navigate the menu having the screen just replaced and touchpad not calibrated?

I was lucky to have one enabled prior to the work. Otherwise you could try using OTG adapter with a mouse...

Ilia Nedoluzhko -

It doesn’t work no matter what. There is no software available for the latest version of android

Rad D - 21/04/24

In order to install the USB Driver for Windows 10, I needed to have the phone connected to my PC while the phone was on the fast boot mode, otherwise Windows would keep saying it had the latest driver already. I think this may have achieved a similar outcome to Roger Willis saying they needed to enable USB debugging. This was with Android 14 up to date at the time of writing.

Alberto Einsteino - 17/05/24

I tried Roger Willis and then did as this comment says and it WORKED for me with windows 11 and latest android!! YAY! Thank you!

David Adams - 12/09/24

Similar to other comments. The instructions in the How to Calibrate page should be modified. Steps are missing/in the wrong order. From a Windows machine, you can download the USB driver from Google, yes, but the USB driver cannot be installed to the phone via Device Manager until after you have booted the phone into Faststart mode and then connected to the USB cable. Otherwise it says I already have the latest driver.

Greg K -

Ich habe mehrere PC verwenden, mir die Finger wundgeschrieben um irgendwelche Treiber zu installieren.

Mehrere USB Kabel versucht.

Nichts.

Erst als ich ein USB 3 zu USB3 Kabel versucht habe, lief es erfolgreich ohne einen Mucken.

Können sie gerne weiter geben an den Handyreparatur werkstatt.

War eine interessante Erfahrung 😃

Wilhelm Heinz -

woa!
PLEASE NOTE! Do not click the big blue button "Get started" as it will follow you to a guide that will factory reset your phone.
Instead scroll past this button and click "Install fingerprint calibration software"
Phew!

Mattias Rehn -

I just did these steps with a Pixel 6a with Android 13 and worked perfectly. Only note I want to make is that I connected the phone before being in the Fastboot mode and driver must be installed with the phone in Fastboot mode. Thanks for the guide!

LumberjackSA -

UBUNTU USERS: You have to use Chrome to access this page. Then, you might get an error where it says the device cannot be connected even when it's recognized. This is because there is another step left out of the guide, you won't find out about it until you click 'Google USB driver', which is only described as being necessary for Windows. (I found out because I tried to boot into Windows, clicked that link, then found the note about Linux).

If you are running Ubuntu, at the "install USB driver" step, go here and follow the steps under 'Set up a device for development'. Reposted for posterity:

In terminal

sudo usermod -aG plugdev $LOGNAME

Log out, then log back in

Then in terminal again:

sudo apt install android-sdk-platform-tools-common

After that, go back to the udfps page and it should successfully connect to your phone this time.

EMC -

Hallo,

habe die Kalibrikation heute auch durchgeführt. Zuerst wollte es mit der Verbindung nicht klappen obwohl das Pixel 7 Pro angezeigt wurde.

Habe mich dann daran erinnert, dass wie auch bei der Programmierung von ESP32 usw. nur ein Fenster von Google Chrome geöffnet sein darf.

Habe dann mein Notebook (Dell) genommen, ein Fenster Chrome geöffnet, die Verbindung kam zustande

und alles lief wie am Schnürchen....

Hoffe ich konnte damit jemanden helfen...

Gruß von Jürgen

J Engel -

These steps worked for me (Pixel 6A)

Fingerprint scanner not working after replacing screen. Pixel 6 Pro

TCErin -

Step 2

Select the "Connect Device" button.
Choose your device from the pop-up menu.
Depending on your browser, your pop-up menu will look different.
If your device isn't showing up, select the "Troubleshooting tips" link near the bottom of the page to diagnose your issue.
Once your device connects, select the "Install software" button.

Hi, I'm stuck because there is not Italy in the carrier country selection and with "other" says that is not able to determine the software installed on the phone. The phone is with stock android 13 latest update. Anyone encountered this same issue? There is a workaround?

Alessandro Colombo -

Had to go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyanuJwV... to get help with driver install

drbret -

Hi, Whenever I want to download the software, I get "Couldn't find the unique calibration software for this device".
I would appreciate the assistance.

Cornelius L. -

Same goes to me . any others option to calibrate ?

amelia azeera -

this solution doesn't work with android 14 in the newest version 14/AP1A.240305.019.A1.

It seems that the ifixit sofware needs an update to the newest version of Android 14.

Any chnce to get it done?

Guido Esser -

To all the people having issue with the latest Android update and no software available for your version.

This fix works. Make sure:

1. You are in the FASTBOOT MODE (do not select Rescue mode or anything else, stay on the Fastboot Mode screen)

2. Make sure you are on the correct Google page https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps

(the other site you could run into https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/steps would make you select the carrier and connects only if you run Rescue Mode - THIS WON'T WORK!)

3. Manually reboot your phone and you are done.

Rad D -

It worked for me. I've first flashed it to public release of the software and then tried your method and I had to install the calibration tool two times with this https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps and done. Fingerprint sensor is recognized now.

Matteo Di Rollo -

try so many times. but still didnt work. error "Couldn't find the unique calibration software for this device". please help me . already downgrade to android 14.

amelia azeera -

bonjours cela ne fonctionne pas pas sur mon pixel 7 pros pour savoir quel version public avez vous télécharger celle de Android 14 ou ultérieur j'ai toujours ce message qui s'affiche "Impossible de trouver le logiciel d'étalonnage unique pour cet appareil" comment je peut faire pour réglé ce soucis ?

Vincent Munoz -

I got the error massage:

Your device's current software version:AP1A.240505.004 is newer than this repair tool has

At first it didn't work for me but I tried it a few times and somehow the button "install software" at the "pixelrepair.withgoogle.com"appeared. I don't really know, why it suddenly worked.

I think it's crucial to use the udfps-site: https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps

And I think it's crucial to use the "fastboot mode" and not the "rescue mode"

Benjamin Bauer -

Thanks, the hint with the fastboot mode, not the rescue mode worked!

Wilhelm -

Didn't work with Pixel 6a and Android 14, when following the steps according to pixelrepair. Didn't make a difference using https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps either.

What worked was NOT to switch to rescue mode but just staying in the fastbootmode without changing anything.

Wilhelm -

FastBoot instead of RescueMode worked for me as well on Android 14 but I had to install it twice to make it work :)

Florian Fürst -

Hello everyone! What to do on Android 15?

Dymitr Bzinkowski -

use flash.android.com to revert to android 14 then use the pixelrepair tool

verumIgnis -

Step 3

Wait for the calibration software to download and install.
The program will run automatically and restart your phone.
After you receive the "Install successful" prompt, unplug your phone and manually restart it again to complete the calibration.
If you don't manually restart your phone, your fingerprint sensor will not work properly.

Si vous voulez pas vous embêter, utiliser un Chromebook (même un vieux). Ça prend 1 minute et aucun logiciel à installer. Il suffit de suivre cette page . Redémarrer une fois encore votre Pixel et s'est réglé. Génial non?

Toully -

I didnt need to install anything on my Pixel 7 Pro. I entered debug mode and went to https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps when it finished . It didnt work until I manually restarted my phone, now it works.

Daniel -

Wow, I didn't expect that it would work so well without any huge installations (just via browser)! Great plus for Pixel phones that changing the display is so easy.

Daniel Roth -

Hallo,

vielen Dank für diese tolle und ausführliche Anleitung!

Rainer Schäfer -

Hello, I have already followed this procedure several time with my Pixel 8a....USB Debug, then all steps, ok, restart, and last manually restart, however it didn't work. Fingerprint unlock still missing and disappeared after screen change. What else am I supposed to do?

Jorge Grez -

Almost definitely a damaged or faulty scanner. If the fingerprint option isn't shown, or if you search for the option, click it, and the Settings app crashes, then the scanner isn't being recognized at all.

Brandon Neves -

Um die Google Kalibrierung laufen zu lassen, habe ich einen USB3 Port benutzt am PC und ein USB3 auf USB3 Kabel benutzt.

Es lange gedauert und mehrere PCs versucht bis ich den mit einem USB3 Ausgang hatte.

Das geht dann einfach so ohne Treiber zu installieren.

Wilhelm Heinz -

Aber mein Display vom Pixel 7pro hat einen grünen Balken ganz oben, ich hoffe auf die versprochenen Garantie von IFIXIT, es ist anscheinend schwer eine Antwort zu bekommen, Hotline oder Telefonisch zu erreichen geht nicht.

Bin gerade etwas sauer.

Wilhelm Heinz -

my pixel 7a cant finish setting up my fingerprint i tried putting it in debug mode and several other things none have worked

simpson -

Pixel 8a gives an error: "couldn't find the unique calibration software fot this device"

Sanja Debets-Bankras -

Hi everyone! On Pixel 8 with Android 15, step 3 fails (Unable to find unique software to calibrate this device). Is there a solution?

Dymitr Bzinkowski -

I replaced the screen then completed the calibration, but still problem remains the same

Jitendra -

Hi Guys, on a Pixel 6 Pro Android 15 this doesn't work. Software states success but no fingerprint sensor is working...

Can-Carlo Dörtbudak -

Perfect guide, specially where you highlight the need to manually restart afterwards. Guía perfecta, especialmente por resaltar que es necesario reiniciar manualmente después del proceso. Muchas gracias

Luis Salvador -

I've repeated the process in vain. I don't think this process works for Android 15. Can someone share alternative process please?

Frank Marogo -

Conclusion

Your fingerprint sensor is calibrated and ready for use.

If the calibration fails for any reason, repeat the calibration procedure.

When I try and use the calibration tool on my Pixel 6 I get an error message whilst downloading the software that says "Couldn't find the unique calibration software for this device". Any suggestions as to what is causing this?

Isheanesu Gambe -

Same problem. Pixel 7 android 14 latest update

Gleb -

Same problem. Pixel 6 android 14 latest update

Pavel Dolínek -

Same problem, pixel 7 android 14 January update

Sunggat Yerzhan - 09/01/24

same problem. Please help

Stalyn Moreno Briones -

Have you had a screen repaired by a non-authorized warranty repair center? I made that mistake and ran into this error. Google Support basically informed me that I can pack sand. We need right-to-repair legislation so that a software fix such as this cannot be denied.

Scott Hammer -

Same, Pixel 7 android 14. "Couldn't find the unique..."

Антон Кондрашкин -

Solution!!!

Pixel 6a running android 14

You need to connect your phone to a chromebook in order for this process to work.

Instructions worked great

And Dre -

Pixel 7a running on Android 14 lastest update.
Connected my device on a Chromebook and followed the steps as mentioned above. It worked! :-)
After initial reboot by the software, reboot again manually.

After this you should be able to reuse fingerprints as normal.

Bonjour et pour les utilisateurs de mac?

nicolas ROUX -

Bonjour @nicolasrou74085 malheureusement Apple réserve cette manipulation à son réseau de réparation agréé :( Vous trouverez toutes les infos sur l'appariement de cette pièce dans notre article : https://fr.ifixit.com/News/83553/la-vue-..., en particulier le tableau récapitulatif des iPhone 5 aux iPhone 15 vers la fin de la page.

Claire Miesch -

I am in fastboot mode and my device appears in the list to connect but it consistently comes up with 'Unable to connect device' - I am using Ubuntu 22.10 (Linux) and my Pixel 6 is not rooted. I can't proceed past this point.

Chris Howe-Jones -

This worked for me. Much appreciated!

Ryan L Barber -

Tedious but was able to figure it out and calibrate the fingerprint sensor.

Metalman -

pour installé les drivers il faut passer le téléphone en fastboot et ensuite le connecter au PC pour pouvoir installer les drivers approprié, si le téléphone est en mode normal rien ne se passe une foi connecter au pc (lorsqu'on veut installer les fameux drivers).

après l'installation du logiciel de calibration sur le téléphone n'oublier pas de redémarré votre appareil une nouvelle foi si non le capteur ne fonctionnera toujours pas. bon courage

MrVaddle -

thank you guys I bought a genuine screen for my pixel 6 and change it it's great but the fingerprint wasn't working , now after I followed these steps it's working just fine

Ibrahim Maslati -

I completed the calibration on my P8 Pro, worked fine. There is one point however for anyone attempting it: Use proper, quality cable! My phone wasn't recognized as a device after I connected it with some random cable from my drawer (works fine for charging the phone), after I used something better it worked like a charm.

Such a simple and dumb thing, but it can make a difference between failure and success.

Josip Rosandic -

On my Google Pixel 7 Pro I get the following error. I can't calibrate my Finperprint Reader. I'm trying for hours now. Nothing helps.... : "Your device's current software version:UQ1A.240105.004 is newer than this repair tool has."

What am I doing wrong ????

Der Doss -

Me as well..

Sebastian Schaeffer -

You may need to do this connected to a chromebook. Didn't work for me on windows 11 laptop, but did on a chromebook running latest software

And Dre -

I got this message when I try to run the tool on my Pixel 7 Pro. Your phone's current software version is newer than this repair tool has.

Sebastian Schaeffer -

Sucessfull on my Pixel 6. Do not forget to reboot your phone after having disconected it otherwise the calibration error stays.

cybertrand -

Hi, May I know what Android version are you on?

Cornelius L. -

Yes! Have pixel 7 pro; After software download, reboot your phone, go back into settings to set up fingerprint unlock. This was with replacement screen #3. Ifixit stands by their 'Never take broken for an answer.'

C * -

Did not work for me. Got the message "can not complete the fingerprint setup". https://i.imgur.com/xrU5VNu.png

Avtandil Kikabidze -

Dans l'ordre, pour que cela fonctionne bien, après passage en mode fastboot, se rendre dans le gestionnaire de périphériques, chercher votre appareil mobile qui doit être non reconnu, et la seulement mettre à jour son pilote avec le google usb driver.

Suivez ensuite les indications.

FABRICE BAUDOIN -

I have tried several Pixel6Pro and cannot activate the fingerprint sensor.

I have disassembled multiple Pixel6Pro and tried different combinations and the following is the situation.

[combination that works].

Pixel6Pro + any screen + the sensor that was on that device

(It should work without any calibration in the first place, right?)

[Combination that cannot be used]

Pixel6Pro + any screen + the sensor that was on another Pixel6Pro

Is this calibration app not to enable any fingerprint sensor that was moved from another device, but just to enable the new sensor that came with the new screen? Is that correct?

- Fastboot mode: Yes

- Reboot twice: Yes

- Use Google Driver for Fastboot mode: Yes

("Android Device/Android Bootloader Interface" on device manager)

It still does not work.

Nona - 07/02/24

I finally got this to work but I had to blaze a trail, as it seems no one had the same set of issues. Using Chrome 121.0.6167.160 on Ubuntu 22.04, I was getting an error "Unable to connect to device" (In the developer console, it printed "The selected device was not able to be opened. Confirm it is not in use by another application and then try removing the device and reconnecting it to continue."). The only thing that ended up working was:

1. Go into the Pixel 7a Settings > About Phone > Build number

2. Tap build number 5 times to enable developer options

3. Back in Settings > System > Developer options, enable USB debugging

4. Connect the phone to the computer with a good USB cable

5. (optional, can't remember if necessary) From Ubuntu, apt install adb and run adb shell from a terminal

6. On phone, allow the computer to access the phone in debug mode (check the "remember" box)

7. Power down phone, power back up using Fastboot (volume down + power)

8. Follow the instructions above starting with Step 1

Gerald Tilma -

Thank you!

You saved my day. And yes, step 5 should be optional. At least, I couldn't make adb shell just run, so I skipped it without further problems. For those who can't find the box to tick in step 6, it pops up when you enter the settings menu on your phone.

Christoffer -

Thank you! The same steps worked for my Pixel 6a.
I can confirm that step 5 is not needed; I didn't do that step.

Robin Ryder -

For the people who get this error: Your device's current software version:UQ1A.240105.004 is newer than this repair tool has.

I found the solution on this website: https://xdaforums.com/t/fingerprintsenso...

-enabled usb debugging on the phone

-Get your best usb c to usb c cable (I think this was a big part of my problem, I tried 3 or 4 cable options and ended up with it working while using -my $79 quest 2 link cable.)

-boot into fast boot, power + vol down. Do not go into rescue mode.

-installed the google driver while connected in fast boot

-went to https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/carri..., scrolled down to the link to "Install fingerprint calibration software" (https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps)

-connecting the phone while in fast boot (Not rescue like it says on the repair wizard)

-deploy the software

-REBOOT

-setup fingerprint

-enjoy success

Thank you pixelguyfromca

Alchalide -

Thanks a lot! I was having lots of connection (or not connection, better said) problems. Your guide worked perfectly!

Juan del Río - 28/02/24

Thank you so much! This did it, after 2.5 hours of trying various fixes. For whatever reason, Rescue Mode never worked, but just leaving it in Fast Boot worked immediately!

BTW, I had to reboot twice after the calibration software install succeeded.

Sam Clayton - 16/08/24

This worked for me!! Thank you very much! =)

Lucas Fernando Santos de Jesus -

Question: are there any options to calibrate the Pixel 6a fingerprint sensor that do not require Windows? I have no Windows available - only Android (on my pixel tablet) MacOS (on my wife's Macbook). Honestly I'm shocked that Google would require Windows for anything!

Ed Fair -

The process worked fine on my MacBook

Nils Liebherr -

Pixel 6a: before I could not even add the fingerprint (it recognized one in a few attempts but failed in the middle). The calibration process described above worked flawlessly. After the calibration, the rate of recognition did not improve, but I was finally able to add a fingerprint. Nevertheless, the fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 6a has so poor performance that it is useless.

Marcin Kawalerowicz -

Worked great, got a little confusing on the part that mentions downloading OEM drivers but in the end everything worked on the first go, cheers!

Cayde-6 -

Salut à tous. J'ai galéré avec un PC Windows 2 soirs sans jamais réussir à calibrer l'empreinte. Je me suis tout à coup rappelé que j'avais un vieux Chromebook et j'ai tenté. Ça m'a pris 1 minute et tout fonctionne. Aucun logiciel a préinstaller. Il suffit de se mettre en mode Fastboot, brancher le Pixel au Chromebook, lancer le process ci-dessus et s'est terminé. Malgré le redémarrage qui se fait après la mise à jour du calibrage de l'empreinte, redémarrer une fois le tél et tout est OK.Fait avec Pixel 7 Pro

Toully -

Chromium worked as an alternate to the chrome browser.

Christopher Solomon -

Doesn't work for me

Stefan Söllner -

Ok, I cannot believe you have no re-assembly part for this at all.
The box contains co many stickers and the re-assembly part can probably take almost as much work as opening the screen, but you decided to completely ignore it.
Not good at all. I had to rely on youtube for this repair, which is fine, but I am very unhappy after buying the screen from you and receiving only half of the instructions.
Nowhere do you mention what the blue adhesive strips are for and how to apply them or that there's a hidden sticked under selfie camera.

Pawel “Yakito” -

I got the same problem, I can't calibrate the sensor because the software is not supported. I've replaced the screen of my Google Pixel 7a.

Matteo Di Rollo -

Do i need to calibrate finger print sensor on pixel 6 pro when reglass?

Cris Luntad -

This is the right way to do it :

1.Before you turn your phone off, go to the developer options and enable USB debugging.

2. Go here Get the Google USB Driver and download the google USB zip file (this is for windows BTW)

3. Unzip however you want it

4. Open the folder usb_Driver and rightclick "android_winusb" and install

5. To make sure it installed, connect your pixel (with USB debugging still enabled) to your PC and open "device manager". You should see "Android Devices > Android Composite ADB Interface".

6. Disconnect pixel from PC

7. Go here Google Fingerprint Calibration website and follow the instructions.

thibaut -

Thank you thibaut. A real big thank you. On the second installation run it worked for me too. (Pixel 6a, Android 14) Much appreciated! KR Stan

Stanley Berge -

After spending 15 to 20 minutes trying to follow the main guides and hitting a roadblock because I'm on Windows 11 and some of the menu options weren't there, your solution worked perfectly for me and I was done in under 5 minutes. Thanks for sharing!

Scott B -

Pixel 4A is not supported obviously: "Only Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, 7 Pro, 7a, 8, 8 Pro, 8a devices can install this software."

U. B. -

I can't in My 7a , says that the software doesnt exists

oscar alonso ramos trejo -

not working with android 14

Piotr Wach -

Please see my post below that may help on Android 14.

Riverwind -

If you're having problems with the Google tool not recognizing your Pixel in Fast Boot Mode, this is what I found. I just did the install of the new screen/fingerprint reader (Pixel 6a) and found the above steps no longer work with Android 14 on Windows 11. I ended up taking it to the recommended Google Authorized Repair shop and the tech told me that it only works on a MacBook or iMac computer, which we both agreed makes no sense at all, but it worked using a MacBook.

1. Swap screens per ifixit docs

2. Power on phone to make sure it was successful

3. Power off phone

4. Boot phone into Fast Boot mode (to do this, hold Power button and Vol down for 3 seconds)

5. Go to google's repair tool (https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps) and follow steps to run it.
NOTE: If your Pixel is not showing up in the device list, you have to do it from a MacBook or iMac until Google updates.

6. Once the tool finishes, it reboots your phone.

7. After initial reboot, reboot again.

8. You should be able to enroll/scan fingerprints as normal

Riverwind - 24/05/24

Make sure you enable USB debugging on the phone to install the drivers. This took me a while to figure out.

Dennis Van Hees -

Getting the "Couldn't install the software" on my Pixel 7 Pro - any thoughts, please?

Running out of ideas and out of patience with my Google phone.

Many thanks

AlexandruVlad -

It worked for me very well ! Thanks ! :)

Greg Mdmn -

Note: the drivers won't install on a laptop running Windows 11 S-mode. (Also: Don't ever buy a computer running windows 11 S-mode.) Had to find an old laptop running Win10 for it to load the drivers.

From there, followed the instructions for my P7 Pro and it worked perfect! Thanks Google!!

Joe Camilleri -

You can take the computer out of S mode. Doesn't have to stay that way.

Tracy M. -

Hat auch für mich bestens funktioniert heute:

1. Treiber auf den PC runter laden und dort entpacken

2. Auf dem Handy den Entwicklermodus freischalten und "USB-Debugging" aktivieren

3. Handy ausschalten und dann in den Fastboot Modus starten

4. Auf dem PC im Browser auf die Google Repair Seite gehen

5. Das Handy per USB an den PC anschliessen

6. Im Gerätemanager nach dem Handy suchen und dann per Rechtsklick "Treiber aktualisieren"

7. Auf der Google Repair Seite weiter gehen, das Handy sollte nun erkannt werden

8. Auf der Website die Schritte durchführen

9. Das Handy noch einmal manuell neu starten

Dominic - 21/06/24

Has anyone gotten this to work with a Pixel 8 Pro?

I can get the software to install/connect just fine, but I never get the "fingerprint sensor alert messages", either after the forced reboot (from Fastboot mode), or if I manually reboot after that reboot?

If I go back into my fingerprint Settings, it's the same, I have to delete an re-register, and it seems no calibration has taken effect (at least not measurably, my thumbs continue to be almost impossible to unlock with, maybe 1/10 or 15 tries, even immediately after re-registering (2 thumbs, 2 index).

Why am I not getting the "fingerprint sensor alert messages" at any point here?

Thanks to anyone who can clarify here.

pgrey -

You don't actually need the Google USB Driver, it works over the website https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps. It displayed "install successful" and rebooted my Pixel 7 Pro, but it didn't work for the first time. I ran the installation again and then the fingerprint reader worked flawlessly.

Chris P. Bacon -

funcionó en el segundo intento.

Joaquin Ramos -

Followed every step to the dot and it worked. Thanks again. Important step to manually restart it. Thanks.

Nitesh Sethiya -

Since I managed to establish the Fingerprint Sensor, the new Display was defektive.

On the top is now a green Stripe to see.

I Hope to get it replaced on Garantie

Wilhelm Heinz -

Ich habe Blödsinn geschrieben, es war kein USB3 Kabel sondern ein USB C Port am PC mit Kabel USB C auf das Pixel7pro.

Damit geht es ohne Komplikationen, ganz wunderbar.

Wilhelm Heinz -

Dropped my phone and screen went all black. Purchased the replacement screen and followed the instructions including fingerprint calibration. All in all took about an hour with disassembly, assembly, and fingerprint calibration. YBIF charges around $210 for this repair in my area.

Jereme -

nope dint work

simpson -

says that unique software is not real

simpson -

all of it worked but i cant install new software cuse is say i cant find the unique calibration software

simpson -

Thank how

Thank you so much now I can make my channel

Idahor Merit -

It installed the calibration software fine, but I still have no Fingerprint option in the settings.

Lloyd Ebert -

It went smoothly on Pixel 6a

Snake -

Same here, Pixel 7 Pro

If google phone doesn't show up and you have tried other USB cables and checked in your chrome settings to make sure chrome is allowed to connect to USB. then go to:

https://developer.android.com/studio/run...

And get the Google USB driver. Download and extract files.

MobileSentrix has this great video that helps. Once the software is downloaded you can use it over and over for calibrating the Pixels new screen replacement finger print sensor functionality. Worth the trouble if you do Google screen repairs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyanuJwV...

Tracy M. -

I followed the process using Windows 11 Pro 23H2 on my Pixel 7 Pro, Version 14, with the August 2024 security update (Build number AP2A.240805.005). Once the calibration software was installed, I power-cycled the phone, and the fingerprint sensor worked with my existing profile. I didn't have to add a new profile. 8-29-2024

Alberto -

hi. I had the display changed on my Google Pixel 6A mobile phone. The display is original, everything works fine, except that the fingerprint sensor does not work. I was in the repair shop with it where they changed my display and tried to change the sensor as well. Well, they said that it is already an 8 mobile phone where the Google Pixel has a problem with the fingerprint after the display has been replaced

Adam Novotný -

In step 1 "Navigate to this page to prepare the calibration software." , I had to scroll to the bottom of the screen and select the blue link for "Install fingerprint calibration software". DON'T JUST CLICK THE "GET STARTED" BUTTON! And if you're a dummy like me and get stuck in rescue mode, you have to press and hold the power and volume up buttons for 10 seconds to reboot (twice) to get out of rescue mode.

You sir are my internet hero of the day. I think I would have gone nuts if I have not read your comment.
Sucks that IFixIt does not point out this little detail. I reinstalled the system update like 5 times or so, trying to figure out when the right time to manually restart the device would have been... Big thanks to you!

Pixel 8 Pro genuine iFixit screen with fingerprint sensor, this fixed my fingerprint reader error, after the tool ran and auto rebooted I manually rebooted again and it started working and I could add my fingerprint to the phone.

Matt Savage -

Can't add a fingerprint on the phone. The option just won't start if I click it.

I tried this after installation was successful:

"Your device software was successfully installed. You may now unplug your device.

Restart the device to remove the fingerprint sensor alert messages to complete the calibration. It doesn't require a factory data reset."

あれからiFixitさんの技術者さんとやり取りさせていただき、iFixitさんから提供されている補修パーツはGoogle純正であり、キャリブレーションも問題なくできるのと、問題が発生すれば交換対応などしていただけますとの事でご対応いただきましたのでiFixitさんより交換パーツを購入させていただき、修理したところ問題なくキャリブレーション出来ました。
色々手厚いご対応に本当に感謝いたします！

Pixel 6a, Android 14.

Ich habe mich an die Anleitung gehalten, und es hat auf Anhieb funktioniert. Ein Download der USB-Treiber war nicht notwendig, das Handy wurde auch so erkannt. Allerdings ist als Browser auf dem PC zwingend Chrome notwendig, mit Firefox funktioniert es nicht.

Will this erase any data on customers phone?

muhammad Shaheer -

No, no data will be deleted

The pixelrepair tool usually takes a while to update to the latest android version. If you get an error relating to this revert your device back to the previous android version with flash.android.com and try again.
