Notes

1. You can re-lock your bootloader with stock ROM to restore your fingerprint. Back up your persist partition.
2. Nubia is using the test key(external/avb/test/data/testkey_rsa4096.pem) to sign boot, vendor_boot, dtbo and odm partitions. You can create a new vbmeta.img with this key from AOSP and keep Magisk with a locked bootloader, also get the working fingerprint.
3. Unbrick tool (Enter EDL mode (in bootloader, screen will turn black), Open miflashtool > select images folder and click "flash". After finish hold power button 10-15s to restart. Then select format userdata):
