Hello everyone
I upgraded my z ultra to Kitkat.
Everything is fine but the camera is NOT working.
Only the front camera is working and the rear makes the phone to become irresponsible.
I did a reset, I applied the firmware again but no luck
((
Please help me
:crying:
Factory reset usually cures all problems

How did you upgrade exactly? My first flash was using a zip from recovery then flashing another fiel with Flashtool and that ended up with camera issues.
So after that I took the USA ftf ROM and flashed via Flashtool then flash the kernel from another thread and the supersu file via recovery and it worked perfectly so you could try a full flash again.

Yeah bro
With newer fw my camera on CM10 isn't working, always shows " can't connect to camera".
With stock based roms it works perfectly.
I just bought a Z Ultra GPE from a guy that I met on Craigslist. He never mentioned that the device had been rooted and custom recovery was installed. Anyway, the device works just fine except the camera. I have some experience flashing HTC phones but this is my first Sony device and I am trying to figure out what is wrong.
The camera on my device (4.4.3 with dual custom recovery - Clockwork and TeamWin) starts up okay, but it fails to focus and the shutter release button will flash but won't take any pictures. If I press the shutter and then immediately exit to home, it will capture a shot but it is out of focus. Video mode shows black screen. Front camera works just fine for still shots but video doesn't work.
I have re-flashed the 4.4.3 stock system.img file (I don't know how to flash boot.img or FOTAKernel.img) and have cleared cache and dalvik cache and the factory reset the device but the camera still doesn't work properly. I have tried to go back to stock by flashing 4.4.3 update but the phone wouldn't let me flash because it says the latest version is already installed.
Is this the camera issue that people are talking about? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so very much!!!

This is a known 4.4.3 bug on the GPe, alos seems to effect the ported ROM.
The only known fix is to flash the 4.4.2 system image but id you do that you won't be able to use the OTA update.
Have a read of the 4.4.3 thread in the GPe section to fully understand the problem

Thank you for your reply!!! So if I flash 4.4.2 system image, the camera will start working again?
How can I go back to 4.4.2? I couldn't find much help from GPE forum and obviously I don't have access to the nandroid backup since the seller is refusing to answer my call.
Thanks!
So I ended up side loading from recovery the 4.4.2 OTA. Since I was rooted, it failed the compare first time. I actually ended up going into the OTA with winrar and editing the script that was checking and finding miss compare. Can't recall quick file but it worked and I'm now back on 4.4.2 with my gpe.

My camera is also borked post update. However, using A Better Camera app setting focus to infinite, the camera does take a picture.
Hello guys,
as some of you may know, there was a bug in which when camera app was started, it appeared only a black screen and the camera buttons. So i've had this problem in months, but in the last 2 weeks, the camera stopped working at all.
I didn't reinstaled the android via SEUS, cause i've waited for lollipop to come, hopping that it will solve the problem.
Today, the update came, i have now android 5.0 but guess what? The camera STILL doesn't works.
So please if any of you had this problem and know how it can be fixed ....
Thank you.
any help anyone? i've tried everything - wiping cache, clearing data, force stop, disableing camera, nothing seems to work. Should i try a repair via seus? Does that helps better than updating to lollipop through the same method? no one seems to know anything else besides clearing app cache. If it helps, any other camera applications, doesn't work

You might wanna try to flash the stock ftf again
Hi,
I have installed multiple PreRooted Zip to Install 5.1.1 firmware however My camera is behaving very strange. When I tap to click the photo or record a video button on Camera app nothing happens and my phone kind of Hangs and I need to somehow close the camera app.
I have no mods installed. It is a clean Install.
I used several PreRooted zip from Recovery but nothing seems to fix the issue. Wiped cache wiped Art.
Please share here if you are also having such problems and if you have a solution.
Camera works beautifully on 5.0.2 and Kitkat
Anyone?
Ok Camera works fine after Flashing Zip for D6502.
However my phone does not charge when switched on, it charges fine when off on 5.1.1

Try flashing kernel,bootloader,baseband and elabel with flashtool from a ftf of 5.1.1 for your device model. You can also create a prerooted zip with " prf creator" and then flash it.
Try turning your phone on with charger disconnected, and then connect it (when it's already on).

Hey there, just needing some help on fixing my camera issue... All was perfectly fine front and rear camera until flashing my SM-G965F and installing the Magisk 17.2 ROOT (all was very successful and stable btw as I've done this many times on multiple devices) and when I went to use my camera it failed to work saying something about it couldn't start up the camera service :/... Is there a fix for this or would I just have to revert back to stock firmware of the phone in order to use it again?
Cheers.
