My son updated his tab with the Icecream Sandwich update sometime ago and now his camera won't work, he really would like this facility back, would appreciate if anyone can help.
He has repeatedly reset the device and still the camera won't work and states "Media server failed. Camera needs restart" .

If you're stock, unrooted... I would wipe cache in stock recovery.. but don't wipe anything else... stock recovery on ICS can be funny..
After wiping the cache, just reboot.. should fix the issue... if not. I would expect that the update did not go through completely.. in that case. You will need to use Odin and flash/install the stock ICS 4.0.4 rom.
Let me know how it goes and I'll try to help..

Thanks

Glad you're up and running...
And thanks for the kind words.... just trying to pass along help... like when I first joined and needed help, I was in the epic 4g touch forum.. and those guys/gals all try so hard in that forum to help and pass on knowledge...it was nice to see a forum where members help instead of flaming you.. then not even offering advice...
If you ever need anymore help or have a question... don't hesitate to ask or send me a pm if you don't want to start a thread..
Good Luck

again thanks for your help
thanks all for your kind help and reply, my samsung ace is back to life ...
thread closed......................................................................................
dude.my ace got stuck on samsung logo.help me get back it to working..pls
okay, now im not sure if i can help you as im only new, but from all the reading ive done * and personal experience * the most common source of this problem is when flashing new things onto your phone, you have forgotten to wipe and clear the cache and stuff.. Try reflashing it, then wipe the dalvic cache and the others
Hopefully this can be of some use.

Help - installed ICS GT i9100 on i777

Please Help. I flashed this Ice cream sandwich file "I9100XXLPB_I9100OXXLP5_OXX" on my galaxy s2 i777 and now i cant go back to stock. I get a frozen boot screen with the gt-i9100 logo. The only time I can get the phone to turn on is when I reflash the i9100 ics with odin. I dont want that because the back and search buttons dont work and internet data is not working. I just want to go back to the icsrewd that I had or foxhound. Please help. Thank you.
P.s. I also tried this, but didnt work "[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root)"
Why not flash back to what was working, as you stated you can, and then from there, clear/wipe etc., and flash what you do want?

It wont let me flash anything that has to do with i777, not even the rom i had before.
If you can get into download mode you can flash back to stock. Just do everything you did when you flash the 1900 but use the stock one found in the development board and you should be fine

Tried to return to stock. It finishes download and reboots phone, but then the screen freezes at the galaxy s2 logo. I have to re-enter download mode to get off that screen. The phone never boots up after that. I need a link to a .tar file for a rom so I can flash through odin.

Flash back to stock first. You need to flash everything for the I777 that is in the i9100 package that caused the problem. Use an archive program to open the i9100 tar and look at the contents. It probably includes boot.bin, sbl.bin, and param.lfs. None of the stock I777 packages that you tried to flash have those. In that case, flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries from the Download Repository, which contains those files.
What Creepy said is accurate. The reason yer messed up is you flashed i9100 bootloaders most likely.

Thank you so much everyone, creepy especially. I struggled with this problem for hours tonight until I was able to get your method to work. I want to cry I'm so relieved. I've only got a few hours until I have to get up for work, but it's all been worth it now that my phone is resurrected. You all are techno-saviors.

Why oh why are people so eager to do things to their phones without even a basic understanding of what they are doing? At least he only resurrected a thread and didn't start a new one.:silly:
Oh, looks like I spoke too soon.

U need to flash stock firmware with odin to restore functionality to the phone. Search for "stock firmware uckh7 i777 xda" with Google or search for creepyncrawly's profile here on xda, in his signature he has links to return to stock. Good luck.

Ok this is not being mean or rude, but if you dont know the meaning of these basic terms then you need to stop what your doing and spend some time doing your homework. Will you be with out a phone for a few hours? Yes but this is the price you pay for doing something before you understand what your doing. So please before you do something that cant be fixed. Do the research.

[Q] So lost, here ... Am I screwed? -- SOLVED!

I was attempting to flash the new Objection UCLF5 ROM, and I think a serious error occurred. When I attempted to return to CWM, all I could get from the phone was the Stock Recovery screen. I attempted to "start over" using Odin to flash the earlier released pda.tar (original root) file and now (on reboot) the only response I get from the phone is " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I really appreciate all this community has provided and really hate to bother anyone for help ... but .... HELP!
Could someone please give me some direction on how I can get back to a rooted ROM and put my phone back into service?
Thanx in advance to anyone willing to help me!

I think the sure bet is to use the 1click rom. It installs on your PC then it installs on your phone. Its the latest ics leaked for at&t.
Thanx! My mind is racing so, I better get some sleep and try this tomorrow AM.
Thanx again!!

[Q] Bricked ?

Guys i had paranoid android 2.54 installed on my gs3 and today decided to install [ROM 4.1.2 - 4.2.1] JELLYBAM - v4.0.0 [12/01] [i9300] [PA.AOKP.CM10] and did so (wipe data/cache).. but after rebooting from recovery the phone became damn slow (slow as a snail).. When i try to unlock , it takes about 5-10 seconds to open up and goes of within a second so i cant unlock it too... it erased all the data on the phone too .. please help/suggest what i do ....
Try asking in the Jellybam thread, you'll probably get more answers there

Not if it was on internal sd.....at which point I would suggest doing a clean install if you lost all your sd card contents.....it's a good opportunity to do it and to my mind is good practise to do occasionally if you are flashing a lot

[Q] AOKP 4.2.2 com.android.phone has stopped

Hi, unfortunately im new user, so i cant ask that in AOKP thread (i dont have 10 posts), therefore ill ask here:
My problem is when someone calls me i get 'com.android.phone has stopped' message and i cannot answer the call.
I have wiped cache and dalvik, but it was still happening, so i did it again and fixed permissions --> nothing worked.
Then ive deleted rom, did a factory reset and flashed rom again. I'm still having this problem.
Can anyone help me?
