Hi,
I have been having trouble with my camera for over a month now.
I have tried searching this forum and the net extensively to the best of my ability and hence, chose to start a thread to seek help with my trouble.
Suddenly, one morning, about a month back, when i started my camera, it didn't start and showed the message "Camera Failed" giving me the option of just clicking ok...
I tried restarting, factory reset, deleting cache etc, nothing worked..
Then, after a couple of days, it started showing that 'Force Close' message saying the android.app.camera has stopped working unexpectedly.
I upgraded the firmware to KG1 2.3.4, it stayed the same. Nothing changed.
Then, i rooted my phone a few days ago and loaded the camera mod by potatoman hoping that would help solve the problem.. Still, nothing has changed.
The Z device test shows both primary camera and secondary camera as 'X' meaning the hardware doesn't exist or is faulty. But when i try and make a video call, the secondary camera works fine.
I also tried some Cam to FW write code but it wont work as well.. It again gave force close msg only...
Is there any way to check whether there is a problem with my hardware or is this a firmware problem that can be fixed? I hate the thought of giving the phone to the Samsung Service Centre. Also, since i have now rooted the phone, i think i might have to buy some jig to reset some count.
Am very depressed as i love my phone and loved its camera and its been an age since i last used it..
Request help from anyone who can.
Thanks in advance.
have you tried updating it with SamsungApps?
also, try flashing cyanogenmod7 if that doesnt fix it nothing will as cyanogenmod uses its own code, not samsungs
Hit The Thanks Button If I Helped
Thanks a lot for the prompt response..
I searched the cyanogenmod7 mod that you talked about. It sounds like it just isn't for novices like me.. I will still read through it extensively and try and install that..
As far as updating the camera with samsung apps is concerned, i didn't find any updates for the camera there..
Is there a specific way in which i can update the camera through the samsung apps?

Does it work with Third party apps from the MArket? like camera 360 and stuff......
If it does then may be the camera apk is corrupted in some way.
I would suggest you try to flash via ODIN your original firmware 2.3.3 from Intratech's Thread in the DeV section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928&highlight=official+kernel and see if it fixes your problems and then flash 2.3.4
also as mentioned above you should have a camera firmware update in the samsung apps which you could try also

I have tried a number of third party apps from the market and none of them start...
All force close at start up..
I am trying to figure out how to get the samsung apps update for the camera.. Should i look for it through Kies or through the Samsung Apps app on the phone?
I will try flashing back to my original firmware tonight...
Hi,

Can't believe this is happenin !!!
Haven't used my camera for over 45 days now..
Plz help..
Thanks in advance..
Hi,

To be honest if you have tried multiple different roms, done full wipes, tried different apps, the only answer left is a hardware or firmware problem.
And if the Samsung apps firmware updated doesn't do anything, then it may be broken
Best bet is to restore it to stock, clear your flash counter and send it back.

Hi,
Can you access the CameraFirmware Standard hidden menu by dialing *#34971539# as im getting a force close error saying the application Factory Test has stopped unexpectedly.
Please check and let me know.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Hi,
i remember getting the force close message when i had tried last time to access that menu..
However, since then, i have tried various solutions on different threads and ended up uninstalling the camera fw.. the default fw wouldn't install. each time i try to install, it says 'application not installed'..
Hence, i do not have any camera fw installed on my phone at the moment.
i could, surprisingly, access the hidden menu now..
i checked the version and this is what i got:
Camera FW Ver : Failed
Phone FW Ver : TBEC28
Can i do anything else with that menu as well??
I tried installing the camera.apk in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098834
after that, i got back the camera icon in menu. it still won't work though !!!
i tried accesssing the menu again and it did open..
however, it kept showing the same message as above.
Camera FW : Failed
Phone FW : TBEC28
i tried Phone to CAM FW Write.
it gave a dialogue box with invalid version written on top and the details of camera and phone fw as above.
Somebody help us down here !!!!
You know what sammy care's services is not that bad an option bcoz if u have tried different 3rd party apps...and it still doesnt work that means the problem lies with the camera hardware for sure...something you cant solve on your own.So stop wasting days thinking about it..give it to sammy care and in no time you ll get it fixed \m/

I have a similar problem; all of a sudden my camera stopped working right at the start of my vacation trip. I get the same "Camera Failed" error. However, a couple of days late I tried and I did get an image, though it was only static. I even managed to take a picture of the static. A day later again "Camera Failed". As it was a 4 week trip I tried numerous of times, one time it worked for a second but the image slowly disintegrated, most of the time FC's, errors or no image.
Cam FW:OCEF02
Phone FW:TBEC28
Once home I tried everything, various camera.apk’s, 3rd party apps, (stock) roms, firmware, nothing. Waiting for my ordered JIG to reset counter before sending it back, it must be hardware related. I didn’t do anything special, no dropping, not letting it get extremely hot or cold, no exotic roms.

Hi everyone,
Yesterday I was installed 2.1 on my Xperia. After that, my camera stopped working. Everytime,when I try to launch it, i see only "Camera unaviablle". I was trying everything. First, I reflash phone to 1.6, and guess what - the same problem! After that, I was trying "Repair" in PCC and SEUS. Four times. Nothing... Anyone have any ideas whats going wrong? Problem was started after update, but I don't belive, that the update is reason. Please, help me. I have great phone, with great 8mpx camera, but I can't use it... I'm desperate.
probably a hardware problem mate ~ i think you should go to your dealer ~ wer you brought your mobile ~ hope it still on warranty ~ or you would have to pay extra costs !!
I think the same. But I still hope, that anybody have same problem, and it isn't hardware. But if it is hardware - then I'm going to disassembly my phone and take a look what is wrong. Maybe it is only problem with connector or something like this. I think, I haven't warranty after what I was doing with my kit...
in my x10 i cant do video recording only photo shoot
did u by any chane get this problem after installing adw launcher?
Yeah I'm having the same problem which I talked about here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826174
Lets see if we can find some commonalities:
Which phone do you have: X10a or X10i?
Which firmware revision? Nordic? Generic? etc
How did you flash it? Did the flash program say press enter to continue?
When the phone first started up, did you see a Camera --> Phone icon?
Anything else significant that you can think of?
1. I have X10i
2.Now, I have Global FW, but I have Nordic 2.1 when problem was apeared
3. I used Flashtool to flash to nordic, then I used SEUS to update to 2.1
4. YES! I saw this icon! And I knew that this is a sign!
Also, when I flash to Generic 1.6 my phone was bricked. Only vibrate.
I was thinking, that this is hardware problem. But now, thanks you, I think, that is software hopefully. It is impossible, that two person have the same hardware problem in the same circumstances
Do you have any ideas what goes wrong?
Camera worked the first time since 2.1, then I get the camera not available message. didn't try to go back to 1.6... Hope the camera didn't break..
Camera not available
Hey iv got the same problem, when I start the camera it says "Camera Not Available" iv tried everything iv re-flashed the phone used SEUS and reinstalled the FW however still the same problem. Done factory reset. cleared cache
Iv even downgraded back to 1.6 and the camera still doesn't work
it still says "Camera Not Available"
Can some1 please help?
Is anybody here, who might help us? Or tell us what is wrong, ane where we must search reason of this problem?
Hi,
Adding my woes listed in post 8993145
1. I have X10i
2. I currently have Nordic 2.1 loaded, but I originally had global 2.1 loaded and have reloaded that 3 times before I tried Nordic.
3. The firmware files I have are ok as I have flashed 5 other phones for work colleagues with no problem.
4. I used Flashtool to flash to global and I have also used SEUS to reload 2.1
I can successfully root the phone, and everything else appears to be working apart from the camera.
My problem is solved, I emptied the picture/video folder using a file manager (in the DCIM folder of the SD card). Camera is working again
I tried and nothing. So, my problem this isn't reason for my kit. Anyone else tried this method? Or anyone solved this problem? Or anyone want help us? Maybe devs? Even for money...

Worked here!! Camera is back again!
Update: It crashed again but i've tryied to remove Vignette (demo) of the device and it worked!
I have removed the photos held under the DCIM directory, but the camera is still not working for me.
I think we need bin4ry or someone who knows a bit about the flash process. I feel that the issue has something to do with something that stays between flashes. Otherwise, flashing back to old firmware would fix the issue.
Have you tried backing up your sd card then formatting it and replacing the files? (and empty dcim)
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Tried. Not working. It's truth, we need bin4ry...
I have the same problem with my X10a, I flashed it with 2.1 nordic using bin4rys flashtool. I formated my SD and nothing.
Ah so the problem resurfaces
Back when i had 1.6 on my x10i ... the camera apk would crash when i clicked on the camera button.... [my work around is to use the "on screen" click option]
Hi,
so after I had installed the new Eclair onto my device, everything worked fine, but camera app started to say not available (you can choose wait or force close). What happened? How can I solve this problem?
If anybody has a good idea or something, please share! (my phone is not more than a week old...)
thanks
I am facing the same issue. I am just trying to reflash using SEUS to see if it sorts it out. I used the same image to flash a couple of other peoples X10s, and they haven't had any problems so might just be the luck in the draw...
Update:-
I have flashed using SEUS and when starting the camera from either holding the shutter button or choosing camera from the apps menu I get the same error message:-
"Sorry! Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding"
After killing the Camera app, it will start up but will display
"Camera not available"
After reflashing with the generic global firmware again and checking the camera before changing any other settings, it still fails.
The error message is now
"Sorry! Application Camera (in process com.sonyericsson.android.camera) is not responding"
The only options are Force Close and Wait.
Has anybody got any ideas on how to get around this issue?
I tried to rewrite camera app at system, but it was not succesful. Device is not rooted (yet). Maybe it solves?
I suffer the same problem. After a few study I doubt if the SEMC_IMX046_Camera driver is missed / corrupted on the phone which led to this 'Camera not available' symptom. Anyone able to help us out?
is it sure? if this causes the problem, all that we need to change/recover it with the original one. PLEASE HELP US!
same problem here. caused by an error while flashing the cam to hd. now
always forces to close. :/

Hey
I will not create similar topic cause I have same problem, so I'll write there.
As I wrote my problem is same as speakers previously. It's really annoying. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I use stock 2.1 firmware. The most funny is that my xperia was bought just on the 1st of april so it's like a new one, whats wrong with it?

If it would help, could some1 send me working SemcCameraApp.apk and write me in which one directory in my rooted phone can I find it?

@edit: I forgoten to write that yesterday I reinstalled system via SEUS on my X10. Problem still exists.
I saw that there was a camera fix zip file posted a couple of days ago. It seems that there are people whose upgrade to 2.1 was incomplete.
I went and searched and found it archived, it was March not recently. It will try to reflash your camera firmware for HD which may be the problem if you stopped the flash progress when the 'flashing camera' icon was on the display. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991442
HOWEVER I THINK IT NEEDS A ANDROID SDK ON YOUR PC TO RUN
Another thing is that if the permissions for the camera app are incorrect it gives similar messages.
The permissions should be if you look in the /system/app directory for the SemcCameraApplication.apk rw-r--r-- if you have Root Explorer you can mod them with the checkboxes. Read for Owner, Group, Others and Write for Owner only.

HOWEVER I THINK IT NEEDS A ANDROID SDK ON YOUR PC TO RUN
Hey guys,
I hope someone will know the answer to my problems, I'll try to keep this short. (English is not my first language so excuse me for any mistakes I make).
Around 2 months ago I couldn't connect to my wifi, I tried everything, but eventually I thought the only solution was to factory reset my Samsung Galaxy S2.
That turned out to be a stupid decision. I made a back up of my media files, so those were safe. But the option to make a back up of your contacts using google didn't work, so I lost all my contacts, whatsapp messages and text messages.
Factory resetting my phone was the solution to the wifi problem though, so I was happy with that. And in the mean time I've gotten a lot of my contacts back, so that's not that kind of a big issue to me anymore.
But now I have a new problem. My phone can't update it's firmware anymore. I've tried using the update function from the phone, but it says it can't connect to the server. And using KIES, it says that the phone can't be updated as well. Now it's running on 2.3.5 and I'd really like to get the new OS available. (This is problem #1).
Problem #2 is the fact that in the last few days my battery has been incredibly weak. Normally I could last 1,5 days to 2 days with a fully charged battery, but now it seems to only last about 4-6 hours. The phone seemed to be a lot warmer as well.
I've tried to find a solution for problem #1, and all I could find is that maybe the factory reset changed the settings of which country your phone is from (I'm from the Netherlands), and that this is the reason why I can't update my phone.
In the thread I found they were talking about using #1234# and checking the codes there, but when I use this my phone displays (translated) ''connection problem or wrong MMI-code''. So I can't check if the data changed after the factory reset.
What should I do next?
Thanks in advance.
Hello there mate.
Im not a dev or something but from different cases that i've seen with many GS2 phones i think i can help you ( i hope at least ).
First of all i think you can easily update with odin to the new ICS firmware Samsung has for GS2.( If you use windows 7 run as administirator )
You can find many tutorials on youtube of how to do that.
Remember to back up all of your data before updating because they will be erased.
After installing fresh ICS firmware (official 4.0.3) you will need to do a factory reset.
Now for your second problem i think it might be an app problem which requires power from your CPU and that's why your phone is overheating and the battery is draining that fast.
I would suggest after using an app to kill it via the task manager so it won't run at the background demanding dedication from the system.
If that doesn't work also try re-installing all of your apps.
Hope you find this kinda useful friend and solve your problems.Take care
Thanks for the reply!
But before I upgrade with odin, don't I need to know the codes (representing where your phone is from etc.)?
I've found them under settings. They are:
Baseband: I9100XXKI4
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKJ3-CL647431 [email protected]#2
Build number:GINGERBREAD.XWKJ3.
And how do I backup all my files? Especially contacts, text messages and whatsapp messages?
No problem ! Im glad that you found my info somehow helpful!
Now as i said earlier im not that kind of expert so giving the current sittuation i don't really know. You should search on the internet for your firmware available for your country and also you can search at sammobile.com then go to firmwares then select the Smartphone option then Android and you should be good to choose the firmware and download it for your region/country. ( Terribly sorry for not giving a link but xda forums are saying that i need more than 10 posts to post a link.
So good luck with that one :good:
I never tried it myself but i've seen that people backup their contacts,texts and apps with KIES so you should give it a try :good:
Either than that,this is all i know and im really sorry if i can't help you any further as im new here too
Alright thanks for the help.
I made a backup of my contacts, whatsapp messages and text messages on my SD card. I'm almost gonna start using Odin. (You don't need a rooted device in order for Odin to work, right?). And I also only got a .tar file from the downloaded package from Sammobile.com, is that all I need?
I'll post the results
Yes Odin will work with unrooted and rooted devices!
I don't know if that's the file, i would do a little search before updating about the files and remember to watch a video on youtube to help you with the process !
Things to remember : If you are on windows vista/7 run Odin as administirator
After installing the firmware do a factory reset / clear cache
Good luck! I hope somebody more experienced than me will help you better than i did . :good:
Haha alright thanks for the help.
I used Odin this afternoon, with succes! I updated to 4.0.3 (only using the .tar file) and after that I factory reset my phone.
Also, I managed to succesfully retain my text/whatsappp messages + contacts, so everything's fine.
I'm going to try out my phone for a couple of days and I'll report if anythings wrong with it.
Really glad that things went in the right direction for you
Just a quick thought now, our Samsung Galaxy S2 will get a new update to 4.0.4 which is reported to be far better than the current one and will be available on the upcoming weeks so be prepared to do another update
But anyway you did a great job! :good:
I recently rooted my One and had networking issues so i flashed this rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266025 ) and after flashing though the networking issues were fixed it then had issues with the back and home buttons, as the phone did when i purchased it, so i located and installed the ota patch that tmobile had pushed to fix it, and there was an error installing it, but the buttons were fixed anyway, but now my camera app does not work, i can open it and see nothing but black, the apps buttons do not appear to respond and after some time i get a "unable to start camera: error. i cannot locate a apk or anything similar to try to reinstall the camera app, other apps i launch tell me "error accessing camera", any help would be appreciated
Update: just discovered, the light does not work either
fixed issue by flashing a different rom and flashing back
i had the same problem
I never actually solved it though. It happened when a replacement was already on the way so i didn't bother trying to fix it. I did research a little and came across a few people that said a bad kernel flash could cause this. I was running the stock kernel and stock rom, and it was working just fine before the OTA so i figuered it was probably a hardware issue. If i were you i would try flashing another kernel. If doesnt work call up tmo and they will probably send you a replacement(you can also contact them through the live chat the on the website, much more convenient in my opinion). I had blown speaker and they didnt even ask about unlocking the bootloader or root, i assume it is because it was clearly a hardware issue. If you figure it out, please share.
Hey Guys,
I use a stable 10.1.3 CM since a year on my S2. Lately the camera started to quit qorking: "can't connect to camera".
About this time the torch (LED app) app did the same thing: "unfortunately torch has stopped".
What I did: do a full data/cache/dalvik cache erase: factory reset.
The camera/torch still malfunctioning.
Then flashed the last nightly CM: cm11-20140429, but still no luck.
Then reflashed the old stable version, maybe if it'll work, but noooo.
Do you have any suggestion to resolve this issue? My phone is 2 years old, never had a problem with it. Until now.
Shall I flash something via Odin?
Is there a "deeper" way to rewrite the camera/LED firmware/code/whatever?
(I was wondering if flashing these 2 CM versions the appropiate firmware's aren't rewritten)
Thanks in advance for the replies!
you can try more ROMs. However, there is a possibility that its a hardware issue.
The camera stopped working on my galaxy S1 after a factory reset.
I never did get it working again, and I tried about 4 different camera firmwares, flashing back to stock, and replaced the camera module too. Nothing worked.

Sorry to hear that.
I'm wondering now to replace the camera module as well.
I quickly tried this 3 ROM: aosb_kk_1.3.6_i9100, omni-4.4.4-20140728-i9100-NIGHTLY, Slim-i9100-4.4.2.build.5-OFFICIAL-4068, but with the same disappointig result: no camera, no LED.
If I first start LED/torch isntead of camera, the LED sometimes flashes:
I switch on, but nothing happens. Then switch it off: after a few sec delay the button will show the "off" state, and during this process the LED flashes for 1 sec.
I will try to revert to stock with odin, maybe...
The camera module is very easy to change. All you have to do is unplug it and plug a new one in.
You might be luckier than me.

Yes, but what if the same thing will appear? Ie. I'll change the camera module, but won't work.
Isn't there an easier way to check if surely the camera moduled is dead?
Btw I downgraded it to stock ROM via Odin, but camera still dead, so it is probably not a software error. :crying:
There's no way of telling if your camera module is broken without putting a new one in.
It didn't fix it for me though. And believe me when I say I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out.
Ok then.
Thank you very much for the support!
