How to calibrate the fingerprint sensor?

I have similar issues with calibrating my pixel 6 and new screen/fingerprint reader. In rescue mode (not fastboot) the phone is recognized / selectable from the pop up. After that it will communicate with the phone and complains about software incompatibility.

I spend a 45 min chatting to a Google service employee but after countless unnecessary question the only answer was: "You could bring it to a pixel 6 service point near you". Right... living in Amsterdam that is Koln - Germany. I've been there already the first time my screen broke. That's an 7hr roundtrip.

So screen works fine, recognized the phone but somehow the software of the webapp https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps and my phone play update July 1 of 2023 and security update from 5th of August 2023 aren't compatible.

I can't believe why it's so difficult for Google to do this... not premium feeling at all

Hey Tilan, speaking as a Google Certified Technician, through the pixel repair process, there is currently issues with the finger calibration connection via Windows. So far, all of my store’s computers are not able to properly run the fingerprint calibration. The only time that I was able to make it successful was through another android phone, in this case was my Pixel 5, and another Chromebook. Got news that some other location starts to have it working on their computers, but don’t take my words for it

Here are the steps,

1. Download the Google USB Driver.
2. Following the fingerprint sensor calibration steps in the link below.

On Google Pixel 6 series, …we had problems with fingerprint sensor after replacing the screens. No matter if we use the original sensor, or the new sensor, fingerprint sensor wont work. We use Original google service packs parts of course and update the softeware to lateset relase…

Anyone else haveing the same issue?

Hi,
I see that this post is from December 2021 but still just to ask, are there any news about it?
I replaced my display on Pixel 6, went to https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps but it cannot locate my device when I am in Fastboot mode.

When I enter Rescue mode - it tells me that it cannot connect with my device.

Have tried to go to just https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/ and have reinstalled software with it, but my fingerprint is still not working.

Step 1 Download the app.

Step 2 Install the app.

Step 3 Rename the app.

Select the "Rename" option.

Step 5 Open the Galaxy Cal app.

Step 6 Agree to the terms and conditions.

Step 7 Select the procedure.

Regards,

Will

tl;dr: The repair tool on chrome will no longer work, you need to move the sensor from your old screen to a new screen.

From what I understand with Android 13 the repair tool stoped working. My repair guy was able to get a new screen that did not have the finger print sensor built in, then he swapped the finger print sensor from the old screen to the new one, and bam it worked!

The first one he gave me had a new fingerprint sensor, I tried everything even loading on the oldest version of Android the Pixel 7 Pro would take and trying the repair tool, and it did not work. Spend hours following different guides, nothing worked. So just bring it back to your repair guy and tell him he will need to move the sensor from the old screen to the new one.

Hi there

I had similar issue but please follow the correct method. Avoid using directly downloading from your phone use pc and use original cable came along with google pixel if gets issue possibly change the data cable or still problem then check on different pc. PC or Laptop needs to be running on updated software.

Best of luck

while replacing the screen i tested the fingerprint reader and it worked. however, it stopped after about an hour. tried the steps to recalibrate the finger print reader but got the same error. after a couple of restarts (google play system updates) the fingerprint sensor started working again.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: I had the same issue that a lot of people have been having where it was not recognizing my device in fast boot mode. The mistake I made was I was trying to update the usb driver when the phone was on. Then, I tried updating/downloading the driver when the device was in fast boot mode. This ended up working and it was able to recognize my device, update the software, and calibrate/fix my fingerprint reader. Hopefully this helps!!
