Need your help to finally solve the Fingerprint DEAD of several users Moto Z - Moto Z Questions & Answers

Several users of this excellent terminal had problems erroneously flashing the stock firmware since the fingerprint sensor has completely disappeared from the software options, reading in several forums I realize that there is no solution for the users of moto Z more However, in past generations as MOTO G4 PLUS the same problem occurred, and after months it was discovered that the problem was an error in the lines of the HW partition, which can be solved with an HW partition without errors and the program WINMERGE

Reason why, I ask you to please share your HW partition which can be obtained with Partitions Backup & Restore, requires root and can be found in google play, I thank you for your collaboration.

Just popping in from the G4 Plus forums - please, if you try this, that you ensure you do have the hw partition (or a similar partition) before trying. Also, please don't use the partition flashing instructions straight from that thread - Moto Z devices are likely to have a different partition layout than Moto G4/Plus devices. You'll need a Moto Z specific partition layout to have an idea about what partition to pull, edit and flash (whether you're flashing an edited file or an undamaged copy from another device).
Also, those partition flashing commands are quite powerful and have the potential to overwrite other partitions if directed to the wrong partition, which may hard brick your device to the point where you may have to have the motherboard changed. Also, we've seen mixed results from this method, but it's possibly worth trying.
I wish Moto Z users all the best, just be careful.

Here is an unmodified hw partition backup.
Please backup your own partition just in case!
For XT1650-03 - single SIM
contains two hw.img files
unmodified single sim (md5sum 1d779d8b27bce0c1da8d507092ae2d51 hw.img.single.sim)
modified single to dual sim (md5sum 1bb3dde5a66f5ac15be305dda83aa2d0 hw.img.single.to.dual.sim)
edit:
extract on phones internal sdcard, backup and flash with adb shell:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/hw of=/sdcard/hw.img.bak
dd if=/sdcard/hw.img.single.sim of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/hw
Run the third command only after the second command has succeeded!

Fingerprint sensor is working again!
I finally managed to get my fingerprint sensor back working. My device is a Moto Z XT1650-03 on reteu channel. Please note, that this procedure updates your phone to Android Oreo 8.0.0! Here is what I've done:
First flash the GRIFFIN_NPLS26.118-20-5-11_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip Stock ROM from firmware.center. I used this bunch of commands to flash with fastboot.
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.11
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.12
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.13
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.14
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.15
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.16
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.17
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Let the device reboot an do the setup until you get to the homescreen, then shutdown the device.
Download the Android Oreo 8.0.0 OTA from the "Moto Z Android Oreo Update Available -Soak Test- (screenshot)" thread, post #182. If the filename only consists of many random letters, rename it to ota.zip and check with an archiving program if you're able to open that zip file.
Now boot into bootloader and select "Recovery Mode" from the available options.
After some seconds an android icon with the text "No Command" appears. To continue press and hold Power, and at the same time press Volume Up once. Release both buttons after the boot options appear.
Connect your device to the PC and make sure it's listed under ADB with
Code:
adb devices
Select "Apply update from ADB" and push the downloaded ota.zip to the device with
Code:
adb sideload ota.zip
After the update has finished (takes some time), select "Wipe cache partition" to wipe the cache.
Finally select "Reboot system now"
After reboot your fingerprint sensor should be functional again
