Hello,
I have to ask you a question that torments me for several days.
I just recently purchased a I9100G, just arrivatomi I proceeded to reset (the phone being used) and update the same to JB.Il phone it worked perfectly in all its parts, other than the camera.
When you switch to the app I get the message "Camera Error" and the application closes.
After several tests I noticed that installing the stock 2.3.6 rom the rear camera works fine, but not the front (same error).
Turning the Internet I found the code to update the firmware of the room
* # 34971539 *.
Well doing the code with the 2.3.6 rom drivers are
redoing the code after the aggirnamento JB drivers disappear (CAM FW: null).
How can I fix the problem?
Help me

I flashed my X10a with 2.1 nordic using bin4rys flashtool. Since then, my camera hasn't worked. I get a message saying "Camera Unavailable"
I've tried the following:
-Reflashing 2.1 (twice) (fixed my wifi unable to start issue)
- Reflasing R2BA026 UK (Semi-bricked my phone; it would only vibrate when turned on)
- Reflashed R2BA026 Nordic (Phone boots, camera still doesn't work)
- 'Repair' option in PC Suite (Says unable to download software for your device)
- About to try R1FA014 (for X10a) + SEUS or PC Suite and I'll report back.
Other than camera everything else works on all firmwares. I have a feeling it has something to do with the baseband of the phone, since reflashing 2.1 doesn't bring up the Camera -> phone icon anymore.
I'll keep you guys up to date, but if anyone can think of a way to make sure the phone is in a "virgin" state please let me know.
EDIT: Tried WWE R1FA014 which branded my phone back to Rogers firmware plugged into PC Companion which updated to R2BA020.
On neither firmware did the camera work, so obviously this issue is deeper than that.
I'm sitting at 2.1 Global right now. (Camera doesn't work of course) I hope that I find a way to fix this issue soon since I use the camera quite often.
Thanks
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...
Hey iv had the same problem iv tried everything but cant get the camera to work,
I think its broken for good as i cannot think of any way to fix it?
If you find a solution please post
i will do the same
Trying to collate the same issue onto one thread, can you post this on thread 825329?
My Samsung Galaxy SII had been working fine, no issues at all until two days ago I went to take a picture and the camera won’t work, the camera screen is black and hanged up when I press to take a picture for a while then I just keep getting some error messages like force close, and media server not responding. I've tried to clear the cash and data for the camera application but nothing happened, I wiped the cash from the recovery mode without any success. Also I downloaded the app GalaxyS2 Camera Firmware Update and after installed and open the app freeze after the message of turning the phone to the airplane mode then nothing happened.
I tried other apps using camera some of the not working at all, and some recording some videos with the black screen on but after finishing recording it showed me what recorded but even this happened after long time of waiting for the app to do recording.
I tried to do the test for the camera using the code *#0*# for the back and front cam but get the error message of "activity factory test not responding (wait or Close)" then Camera failed. I searched over the web but most of those who had the same problem mentioned that they did factory reset with no luck.
My phone running:
Andriod version 4.0.3
Basedband I9100XXLPX
kernel version of 3.0.15-I9100JPLPF-CL644992

Hopefully I will find a solution

I did a Factory reset from the recovery mode and it works for awhile and the closed with media scanning running error then I unmount the SD Card and now it works perfect, and when I mount it again the error message comes again..
I think the problem from the beginning with the SD card, so for anybody faced this first start with un-monunting the SD card and see what is happened first before he/she loose his/her other apps.
Camera error message: can't connect to the camera.

I used the stock camera last week and everything was fine. Tried using it today and got the error message. Tried a few fixes, different camera apps (they crash) and reinstalling the stock apk. Not sure if I was using the correct stock apk because installation failed. Just tried the torch app and it crashed as well. Any ideas? Thanks
Some days ago I installed a Resurrection Remix Rom (I actually don't know which one, sorry. I just know that it's got Lollipop) and when i went to the camera it said: <<Can't connect to camera>>
I still had warranty, so I installed the stock rom (I checked the camera and it still didn't work) and I sent the phone to the company. IMPORTANT NOTE: In the warranty ticket it said <<SOFTWARE ERROR>>
The only camera I can use is the "selfies" one
When I received it, the error was fixed, so I tried to install another ROM, so I installed CM12. But... I got the error AGAIN and I haven't got warranty anymore
That's what I tried
-Install Reset Camera and Camera (CMFix) (Camera CMFix didn't open and I had Restart Camera Installed :v)
-Checking if an app is having troubles with the camera
-Rebooting in safe mode
-Holding down the volume/power/back
-Clearing Data and Cache of the camera
-Removing my SD card
-Renaming the DCIM folder
- youtube. com/ watch?v=Fa9qggQJ990 (I can't even access to that menu ._.)
-Find “Use NuPlayer” and uncheck it & restart
-Using other camera apps
-Disabling the Google Camera and using the default one
-EDIT: I installed the Stock Rom with odin and did a factory reset. I even did a "system reset" with odin. AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK OMFG. Then I tried to update the camera firmware (youtube. com/ watch?v=Fa9qggQJ990) because I've got KK now, but the "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check" is disabled. I googled my camera Cam FW Ver and it's not old
Thank you, I'ts a really annoying error. My S3 is giving me too many troubles, I'm starting to hate it... But I can't buy a new one :crying:
OHMYGOD I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO FIX THAT ERROR HELP PLEASE
//reposting because nobody answered :v

If you're confident that its not a software issue, then go ahead and unroot your phone and show it once (sometimes the problem maybe that the camera slot just got loose). But 'can't connect to camera' is common from cm12 onwards. Maybe its a kernel problem. The fact that stock firmware also failed is something abnormal. Even in a few Touchwiz roms, kernel changes led to cameras not working.
Anyway, If you're still on stock rom do to the dialer and enter
*#7353# quick test
*#*#4636#*#* for test and information
*#34971539# for Camera Firmware Update and
*#7412365# Camera Firmware Menu

I did *#7353# and tested the camera and it told me Can't connect to camera again, I can't choose "Phone to CAM FW Write (Main)" in *#34971539# and *#7412365# and *#*#4636#*#* didn't work
I guess It's a kernel problem
Thank you so much!
Hello, I'm Laurent from Belgium. Juste arrived in Taiwan couple of days ago.
I put CM13 a couple of months ago on my beloved S3. (I9300 from belgium)
Everything was fine, sometimes camera plant and just have to reboot.
But Monday when I arrived in Taiwan (pity) I wanted to take a picture and than big freeze and the phone totally blocked. It was on a boot loop (logo animation).
Arrived at the hotel than I try others CM (nightly and snapchot) with or without gapps and flashed correctly but still on a boot loop, once he arrived at the first step (choose language) but as soon as i touch the screen freeze, than boot loop again.
I arrived finally to get the stock rom and put everything back on 4.3 (from updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model ).
Can't use the front camera, rear camera and flash:
- The stock camera app: i see all the buton but don't do anything if I touch them (settings, color, switch rear/front ...) and the screen is black. the menu button on bottom left just propose me "edit shortcut"
- All other app: instagram and others don't work (it launch but do nothing when I push the picture button)
- Flashlight app freeze too, when I launch, black screen and the flash never light.
- When I used the code *#0*# (or something) it launch the soft but if I choose "mega cam" black screen and than "test factory is not responding" (now the front camera work with this test factory)
- when I used the code *#34971539# to launch "camerafirmware standard" I just have this title on the top but again nothing under, black (not the menu with upgrade camera firmware etc)
I try so the full wipe and reinstall without wifi etc (so don't go on my google account dl straight app etc)
I try the app manager: force stop and clear cache and clear data.
I try a small package fix camera found in a thread here
I try recovery and wipe cache, wipe data, factory reset ...
I bought a screw driver and open it and move cables etc (not totally remove the motherboard
I try to put an other kernel.
I try to update the camera firmware by recovery (but don't know if it can work or not)
I read and read and read so many thread all over google hours and hours ...
The thing is that so the flash doesn't work either: when I install the flashlight it tell me "need to access camera" so say yes of course, but so plant when I launch, so means that the app try to pass by the camera driver to open the flash no? problem is that I can't update the firmware as the samsung code plant also. I don't know if on stock I can install it by an other way or either remove/reinstall camera driver or stock camera app.
I was thinking to buy a new phone here anyway but no in a hurry and the first month here in taiwan I want to travel so take pictures as well I will try to find an old shop with broken phone and replace the camera.
ps: I'm not sure about the carrier/region of my phone ! is it possible to find it somewhere? with iemi or SN ? When I use kies he told me I'm already update, but I'm not sure if I have the right stock rom. (everything else work fine so)
GT I9300
FDD ID: A3LGTI9300A
SSN: -I9300GSMH
IMEI: 354793/05/342885/2
S/N: RF1CAEFX6HB
(internet connection in the hotel is slow, I need to go to a coffee shop to DL rom, so I can't try every other stock rom )
Thank you if you took time to read uh uh
yeah, just read some french thread.
Apparently this is a well known problem. Hardware camera...
Will try to get one for cheap.
But I don't get it that the flash and the camera stop to work in the same time. Are they linked ? if the camera is dead, the soft won't detect it so ll not run so the flash won't work as well ?
