Hi alll
Its problem after problem for me now.
I just rooted and overclocked (as told here- http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-gt-i9300-overclock-ninphetamin3-custom-kernel-103349/) my S3.
Everything works fine but when i start camera, at first its not responding then an error comes "failed to start camera" and it shuts down.
PLease tell me solution. I need serious help!
I'd just reinstall camera.apk and push it to system/app.
Can't say why this happened.. and there's probably a simpler solution

Here's the apk.

You need to have a root explorer. Es file explorer is free
Do a backup. Delete your camera.apk from System/app and move the above camera.apk from /download to system/app and see if it fixes it. Which it should. If not report back.

If you're going to be reinstalling the camera apk, I would recommend using this camera mod by HyperX:

Latest uses BLG1, is an awesome camera mod and great for high bitrate vids.
Did it download fully
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
try updating your camera firmware by dialing the following code in dialer *#34971539#. also give other third party camera apps a go , by that you can confirm whether its a problem with your camera apk or other stuff
Try taking it out of system/app
Installing it
Then use titanium backup to revert to system app by long pressing camera.apk
If all else fails flash stock rom in recovery. Or did u have a backup from before the camera messed up?

Easier solution would be to just flash another rom with stock kernel and see

I had the same issue after rooting, only it's not limited to the Camera app! Any app which uses the rear camera causes the phone to first stop responding, then crash (screen goes off, have to hold power button for ~10 seconds to reset the phone or pull the battery).
I return to the stock (unrooted) ROM and all is good again.... this is annoying! An unrooted Android (especially the SIII) is like a rocket launcher with no rockets
Okay, a little more testing yielded that the Galaxy S3 Toolkit provided root images cause problems with my S3!
The CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar image worked fine (though I want to restore stock Recovery afterward, which isn't the easiest thing to do but I'm just lazy).
So yes, if you root and Camera-apps crash your phone, restore Stock then use a DIFFERENT rooted image until you find the right one for your phone

Thanks.
But problem still not solved
It seems like apk is not the trouble. Trouble is something else.
Bcos i even replaced the apk and results are same--> unresponsive camera giving error "Failed to Start Camera" after 15 seconds approximately.
Downloading stock flash....
And @LaKraven, You mean to say that we cannot root s3?
Also, IF i want to test different CWM, you mean that i will have to root, then unroot again, then again root!!?? Or just flash again with new CWM without rooting with odin?
I didnt use toolkit, i used odin to root. Using CWM 6.4. 6.1 Gave me error at recovery mode-> "Falied to mount sdcard" while 6.4 worked fine. Only camera......
Any tips guys?? Please i really need camera!!

Is /data/cfw empty? If so (and only if so), then place either http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29498117&postcount=261 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29601758&postcount=315 in there. On my XXBLG8 phone I have SlimISP_ZD.bin in there - owned by media:system with mode 644 - but some phones need the GD module in there. After you've done that, flash either the Siyah kernel which accounts for this problem (and if you want overclocking) or the GalaxSih kernel which also accounts for this problem but does not allow you to overclock (which suits me fine - I have no reason to OC a quad-core phone)

Good day all. My question is this. after flashing any ics rom on my phone the home button does nothing at all and the power button long press switches off phone.. no phone options diolog. Used the same rom on another s2 and worked fine on that one??

Huh. That's weird, because the behavior you're describing sounds like what others have experienced when they flashed an I777 ROM to an I9100, or vice versa.
Ive had this issue aswell on every samsung (XXKP/LP) based ICS rom and solved it by doing the following:
Tools Needed:
1. Root Explorer (4shared is your best friend)
Steps:'
1. Using root explorer locate the /efs/imei/ folder. In that folder there should be a file called keystr. In my case the file was missing which is why the home-button, power button and the lock screen was missing and was causing my problems.
2. using root explorer create a new file called keystr
3. also in root explorer open the file keystr in text editor and type ON
6. make sure you save the file.
7. reboot.
I will be trying that tonight. Thank you very much for the help and quick response. Really appreciate it lots! Just to query.. what would be the cause of this 'glitch'? Being that the two phones were identical??

Try this, It wrked on a custom LP6 rom and might work with your phone, just get someone to ring it, you dont have to answer it, just ring it, and you should have home button back.
It sounds weird but I'm interested to see if it works on stock as well as the custom rom i tried.
K. Will try that too. Will keep you posted. Also a question from a buddy. The keyboard that comes with stock lp6, Samsung kb it guess is not qwerty, how to change it back?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Just to add. I had the same hardware button issue on stock lp6 and a custom one after that.. reverted back to 2.3.6 and no more error. Then cleaned and tried both Roms again same error.. and Another thing I picked up is when flashed, booting for first time, the ROM's don't in to setup wizard, they in straight to home screen.. I just found that a bit off. Where the second phone, being the phone of my buddy in the last post, went though the setup wizard? Go figure? 'These S2's seem to be a wild breed of animal??

I have XXLP6 on my s2 and it worked fine from the first moment. I think you did something wrong while flashing. Or mixed files or something. I have chainfires root kernel. Try that. It works cool for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Sorry pillow, but if you read all the posts then you would know that I did load the same Rom on two phones and multiple times at that.. and you can't realy do something wrong or mix up files when flashing with a cwm zip, its pretty straight forward..

On another note has anyone overcome the issue with connecting through usb cable in ics, I think they connect as mtp and ptp. Cause when you try to bondat with that on debugging or not, then windows 7 has no drivers to install.. I haven't tried xp yet, but I don't think it will have either then.. any thoughts??
I think this thread should turn into a ics issues thread..

The keystr file? Is the filename in all lowercase?
The fix for this was the permissions and owner of the keystr...

Yup, that would do it. I didn't even think about permissions. I just assumed the file would be rw-,rw-,rw-. If one of the groups didn't have read, it would have failed.

Hey guys, I continually get this error message upon manually forcing my phone into recovery. I'm on UCLF5 ICS OBJECTION from btw with the latest version of cwm. I would appreciate some help with regard to what exactly it means and how I can fix it.
Also my phone won't shut down properly. The lights on the bottom buttons stay on and I have to manually force it to reboot like I do to get it into recovery. The shortcuts in the rom aren't working for me.

I would put it into download mode and run odin or the Off ics to redo/repack your folders, then put CWM back on....idk
Just putting some ideas in, maybe the guru's will jump in on the thread...
Before nuking it like that... try going to mounts and storage and formatting cache
Although I'm not even sure that error is anything to worry about honestly...but i don't do nandroids personally so Idk for sure.
And Joe....stop quoting the op, please?
Does this error have anything to do with the CWM version being used? Its calling for the external sd card isn't it?
No it's calling on the /cache partition which is in the phone...
But it could be the cwm version, it's looking for a recovery log that it can't open.
I can't do anything with the cache. Its like it doesn't even recognize it. I noticed this when I went to throw another rom on and clear out my caches and it would just freeze. I left it for a half hour once just for the heck of it but it didn't do anything. I had to reboot the phone into recovery again.

What will "fix permissions" do?
I would downgrade cwm, I've been using brawway's touch version since he released his latest, without issue and i think that was in April or may
And fixing permissions, makes the permissions of all apps and .jars be what they should be.
Example: apps in /system/app need rw-r-r permissions, sometimes pasting some of those in will not set them correctly, and if you're doing a bunch at a time is a real pain to go through individually and change them, so that option makes sure everything everywhere matches the permissions needed. So, not applicable in this case.
Well I managed to get another rom on anyway so I don't think its big deal now. I think I might just leave my phone alone now
The collectives 4.04 aocp rom is pretty freaking sweet lol.

Thanks for the explanation.
What is the equivalent of the chkdisk dos command to make the android system rebuild the directory structure? Can you do that through a terminal emulator?
i dunno if there is one other than just reflashing
So basically just flash a new cwm over the one I have now?

If u could get it to boot. And manually set permissions for android.policy.jar that would fix the shutdown issue.

Awesome. Ok, last question. I'm assuming I can just load this onto my phone via Odin like I did my original version of cmw?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Yeah, That or there is also a .zip that can be flashed from your current version of cwm.
If doing it that way after it flashes go to advanced option and reboot recovery, then once in the new one, clear caches and see if that fixes the issue.
Or, just use Odin then boot into recovery and wipe, either way is up to you, but seeing as how it's cwm that's the issue, i might lean towards using Odin myself... Just note that will increase your flash counter iirc, if you care.

Samsung SCHi717 OnlyOne Goldie SMS error
Has anyone else ran into the issue of the stock SMS notifications not going away? When I get a txt message, regardless of how many, it always says I have an unread message. This happened with OnlyOne HYFR and then With Goldie also. Is this a known issue, or is there a way I can just quickly correct this?
Also, I can't find anything that says how to diable the scrolling wallpapers. I wanted static wallpapers for each home/menu screen.
Any advice is appreciated.

Hello guys!
My problem is that I wanted to root my freind's I9100, but something went totally wrong...
Now my problem is that the bootloader doesn't seem to work... I hold the power button, the screen lights up, nothing happens for 1-2 minutes, it crashes and it all begins again.
The only thing that is working (I think) is the Download mode...
I tried to flash VillainROM v1.1 (I read that it would solve the problem somewhere), but it didn't work...
Also with that ROM I can get to the recovery, but unfortunately it can't find the storage (Of course I have a backup on there...)
I'm really worried right now, because it's not mine...
Please help me! :crying:
If you can get into Download mode, then flash a stock rom and see if that fixes your problem.

I don't think that this makes a difference, root basically is just some modified system files, isn't it?
and with a new rom the old system partition gets wiped completely
I dont think its super bricked if u can power on the device. try to get into download mode and flash a stock rom. If you have warranty you better take your phone to samsung repair centre

No it cant be. If you can power on your device its not super bricked..If it was super bricked your phone would be just a piece of plastic that gets heat up near the camera area. you should have just flashed a safe kernel like siyah using odin. Its perfectly safe. you must have ticked the repartition on Odin
Your data partition is corrupted. And only flashing a .pit file would save your phone. If it doesnt, i think samsung is the only way...

Please help as I've only had my s4 3 weeks!!!!!!! Cheers Paul
First boot in to recovery mode and select wipe data/factory reset when done i think also there is a wipe nv partition option available.
When both wipe process finished completely then remove the battery and put it again but don't turn on the device,then start the flashing process and leave it alone to completely finish the flash.

What app where from ???
It can be a virus or a malfunction. Try uninstalling the application and clearing the data of google play services and google play store in Applications manager. If that doesnt help you can try simply restarting your phone. As a last resort you can factory reset your phone. You can find a antivirus program anywhere even the file since you cant install, but this is not likely the problem.
Good Luck
Ohh thanks all of you for rply but it was bcoz of an app named "Twilight". It's sorted now.
