The fingerprint is not working for me, there is no option for fingerprint in the security settings.
What i did:
- Got the phone with Shift OS-G (from 02.12.2025)
- Flashed Shift OS-L 7.0 (from 27.01.2025)
- Which has Security Patch Level 2026-02-05
- SHIFTphone 8 - ShiftOS-L - Update - SHIFTPHONE_8.SOS.7.0.L.20260127 | SHIFTPHONES
Played around with that for a couple of days and then installed IodeOS 7.2 via the installer.
I guess the problem is, that Iode 7.2 is from 22.01.2026, so older than the previously installed Shift-L right?
Ah, according to this thread: The Shift8 is now officially supported and in stock - #23 by buergi the non-working fingerprint is to expected currently and is not related to Security Patch Level / bootloader locking?
So the options are:
- Waiting for a possible Iode update that could fix the fingerprint
- Go for ShiftOS-L
