[REQUEST] Persist.img for the ROG Phone 3, Android 11 - ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
Can someone help me with fixing my Persist Partition?
My Fingerprint Scanner doesn't work, and I found out it might be due to a corrupt /Persist.
I've tried extracting a Payload.bin (from the latest OTA Firmware) but it doesn't contain any Persist Images.
Can anyone either send me their Persist.img or help me find a original Persist.img from the Stock ROM?
Thanks in advance!

If I may ask, is this your Persist, or is this from an Official ROM?

It's mine. Persist is not part of the ROM, that's why you can extract it from there. It's factory installed in its own partition.

That makes sense.
Though I kinda think that it's dumb that it's kind-of-impossible to obtain an "official" Persist Image from Asus since others like Xiaomi just put it into their Firmwares too, but alrighty I guess.
Will flash tomorrow and hopefully it helps.

Well, kind of expected that but it doesn't work.
The Contents of my Persist Partition don't seem to change no matter how often I "erase" and "flash" the Persist.img. Calibrating with the "Factory Test" Tool also gives me an "get calibrate failed" error again so yeah.... Guess I'll go with Face Unlock for now.
Thank you very much though for your quick help.

How do you flash it? Try using TWRP and if that doesn't work you should be able to flash it with the device in EDL mode.

Which is the correct firmware for the US S3/522 for this list?

I went to codeworks page:
There are 4 files for the x522 in firmware and 4 in modems. I am assuming the "19s" firmware is for India so is the "20s" for the US?
But the 4 files in the modem section is confusing, which one/one's are for the US model x522? here is the link for the modems https://host.llamasweet.tech/codeworkx/lineage/s2/
Thanks

Oh you mean flash that entire rom? And will that install the bootloader and modem? In any case, i tried flashing those files but they won't flash, any suggestions?
Since those roms won't flash i had to look for individual bootloader and modem and stumbled into those files by codeworks, and i am assuming you are saying that those aren't the correct files?

twrp-3.2.1-0-s2, can't remember if i had the same one or one version older than the current one; when i tried it. Should i try it again? But the question is will it install the origibnal boot loader and modem? because i was playing with those in the past and flashed the wrong ones i think, and it will be great if i can go back to the original ones.

it certainty restores boot. not sure about modem, I never touched it. you have nothing to loose flashing it. it supposed to be bone stock. just delete two lines in the script and re-save zip. you have to do wipe, wipe data, then mount, copy zip, flash, reboot. in that order, I wasted hours today finding out that order is required. otherwise, it won't load.

Unbelievable! It actually worked after the 2nd attempt. Even got the 21s update. Thanks :good:
The original question is still unanswered about which one is the correct firmware for the US model amng the firmware provided by codeworks, hopefully someone knows that and will share in interest of others that might have the same problem.
Thanks again @leo221 for providing a clear and easy solution.

Rooting possible? yes/maybe/no

How is Huawei handling root? Is it suspected to work or will this be a problem?
I guess the rooting process may be a bit similar to the Mate 20s. It took a while before root became available for Mate and the process relies on a somewhat compilicated procedure involving FunkeyHuawei and buying credits. If you really want to have root then probably better to wait or to buy a phone which is easier to root.
Hi,
Somewhat agree. Root might take time.
What I can confirm is that oem unlock is not greyed out.

I already extracted the ram disk and tried patching it with Magisk.
It didn't boot.
Any other bright ideas?

Is not ramdisk that you need to patch, try patch stock Recovery, at least works with EMUI 9.

Is "RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img", in the tool is missing the "K". You can rename it to "RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img"
If you need to flash in the fastboot use this command:

Yeah, I figured it. Output was patched_boot img. It flashed without any issues. But couldn't reboot afterwards. Went into bootloop, and then back to eRecovery. Normal boot is fine. Patched boot didn't work.

IMEI repair

I'm planning to buy the K20 Pro from Aliexpress with the Chinese Rom and then flash the global ROM.

In ten years of flashing a hundred phone's I've never experienced an IMEI issue. It's so extremely rare you almost never see it mentioned in any forum of any phone. It's really the last thing you need to worry about with this extremely fickle phone.

Okay, so what I did was that I created a persist backup of mine delete its content and then replaced then with the contents of the one @tutibreaker sent me here and now still the compass is constantly ramping up in a loop but slower.
any solutions. I think the device is making its own when it needs it as it asked for unlocking but then changed back to normal without me unlocking it.

I flashed the persist on miui 13 then from the past some days I've been shifting from miui 12.5 to 13 to custom ROM tho it shouldn't change the persist. And at first the raise to wake-up also glitched but now it's working fine so idk there was an issue of compass it skipped points and jumped to some instant and after I sent it to the company then it came back and was working fine before I bricked it.

Question Fingerprint not working after using MSM tool NE2215

Hi,
I have a question about my OnePlus 10 pro. Some guy helped me revive my OnePlus through MSM tool after I bricked it flashing konabess overclock. It got me into crashdump. After a reboot, I got a fingerprint registration problem and wasn't able to register one ever since. As soon as I try to register one, it vibrates and doesn't show up any fingerprint icon at all. What can I do about this??
Phone used to be NE2213.
nothing. you may have lost your persist.img file. i don't believe that is recoverable using MSM. only if you have a backup.

One thing I forgot to mention is that you need to have your ROM version correct
- India ROM
- EU Rom
- World ROM
If the version I've provided ( World ROM) does not work for you, simply download the correct one, and follow the same steps.

I know what the issue is now, the persist.img is corrupted due to konabess overclock installation. This can only be recovered through another OnePlus 10 pro of the same model it's persist.img file you need to extract and flash it on the corrupted OnePlus to get it working again, the guy is going to share me a file soon. As soon as I'll get it, i might be the first one with the file for the OnePlus 10 pro. I'll share it here

I now read again and find out malfunction of your device is not caused by konabess overclocking but by MSM tool downloading. Konabess overclocking will only modify the boot partition so it has nothing to do with the persist partition. The latter was broken as you downloaded a full rescue package with a invalid persist image.
