I'm not allowed to reply in the development forum, do i have to do this here.
I flashed this Rom two times. The first time everything worked well. Then I tried an other Rom. After a short test i wanted to switch back to this Rom (full wipe, flash two times...), but the camera stops working.
So i reverted to an rooted stock rom and tried this one again. But the camera doesnt work.
I'm not sure, i think on my first try i had an unsigned kernel (yellow triangle on startupscreen). Could this be an course for camera problems?
Greetz
No.. i dont think insecure kernel has anything to do with it/..i had problems with that rom too..flashed twice..but mms kept crashing..i would wait for a update to fix those bigs before using that rom
Is my eyes playing tricks or has this ROM just disappeared from the Galaxy S II Original Android Development forum?
Anyone care to share what happened?
There is allready a thread about this, tl;dr version.
The rom used a kernel without providing source code this breaching the gpl, so it was taken down.

Hi, i`m a german and new here, so please be not so rigorous. I have my Galaxy s 2 for one or two months now and it worked fine all the time, but since last week my Wifi and blutooth dont work any more
Here are some pics:
can nobody help me?
Could you be more specific? Have you made any settings, rooted, installed a custom rom etc.? Anything that will make it easier to track down the problem.

i forgot to say, that i wanted to install a new costum rom, but it failed, and when i flashed back, it happend (
now sometimes my bluetooth turns on, but i cannot find any devices, and they don´t find me
do you think, its a hardware error, because i flashed back a couple of times now. the best thing is my guarantee is no away, because i flashed custem roms
[Q] I really need some expert help on this guys!
<b>2012-03-23 updates on what further tests I've done:</b>
I've just flashed MT15i-Global.tft using latest flashtool in flashmode.
= did not work
Then tried wotanclient = did not work
Made fresh install of ICS beta(2different roms) = did not work
Please help me get my front cam working !
A few months ago the front Camera worked on my Neo but not anymore.
I cant really say if it just stopped working or had something to with flash of another rom.
I've rooted and flashed a number of phones before so i have some basics in this..
Currently running ICS on my Neo.
What I've tried to do to fix it.
1. Use SEUS but it said I have a modified android version and would let me restore...
2. WotanClient which restored it to .62 2.3.4. Failed at first attempt but succeeded at 2nd. >> front cam didnt work afterwards.
3. Tried other ICS roms and made several attempts.
The steps i took on installing another rom:
- installed fastboot
- connected phone
- run fastboot flash boot xxxx.img
- go into recovery
- wipe all, wipe cache, format system, dalvik and battery stats
- install xxx.zip
- up and running with non working front cam
Questions!:
1. How can I make a TOTAL restore of both bootloader, kernel, rom and everything to the stock firmware it got shipped with????? A step by step would be appreciated!
2. Any steps that I could have missed??
3. Anyone with similar problems?
4. How can I put it back to 100% stockrom to get warranty back and perhaps send on service?
FYI
The back camera also behaves strange on the ICS rom in skype/tango video call. It is miscolored.. On 2.3.4 it was ok.
Weird. Could this all be a firmware issue?
Can some provide all the tools i need to get it working? Or can I extract some logs or something that would help you find out if the front cam really is broken??
Where can I test the front cam or are there any appa to specifically test it in any way??
Desperate regards !

Im pretty sure it was a neo rom, it was picked from neos forum anyway.
Nope, havent messed with it at any point nor any other file.

If it doesn't work after flashing official 2.3.4 firmware in flashtool with a full wipe, I'm out of ideas.
Does flashing with wotanclient really flash Everything?? Kernel, loader rom and wipes everything?? If the phone hasnt got a hardware fault something, it must be some step i did that sctewed something up.. Could try wotan again though but would rather have more people look into this before strarting flashing.
Afaik Wotan flashes / wipes everything and gets you back to clean Stock!
BUT, i already got problems wotan flashing / discovering the wrong phone type.
While i was trying out some different Kernels on my Phone (Mt11i SE NEO V), it seems that i picked a wrong Kernel and my Phone was showing me the Model Mt15i (SE NEO).
And even Wotanclient discovered a Mt15i...
Didn´t try the front camera at this point, but back cam was not working.
I tried to manually flash Mt11i Stock Rom/ Kernel (0.62) using flashtool.
Well flashtool did it´s work not completely, but far enough to reset the Model to Mt11i and Wotan flashed the correct Version afterwards.
My Hint, have a look at the Modellnumber in Settings, is it the right one ?

still havent got the issue sorted
front camera solution
Hello and sorry for continuing this thread, but i have a query about the front camera of xperia neo v.
As all the above, I have the same problem with my front camera and I was wondering if I could somehow get the camera's apk file from gingerbread (the whole camera application - which is believed to be the last application compatible with the camera),would this solve the problem?
I am addressing aspecially to the developers .....
If anybody knows a way to solve this, please send me inbox a guideline.
Thanks in advance.
:good:
May be below the info can help you about the stock rom flash
1. Find the bootloader locker ftf (firmware file) file for Neo from the Internet (else inbox me I will find and will give you. I have that file but it's Neo V only). Once you flashed this file then Sony updater service will reconognize your device and do the update properly
2. Install Sony updater service
3. Connect your phone and choose the phone model then update to ICS
Hit thanks if it helped

I always use AOKP roms on my devices and since I have the i9300 I start to get "Can't connect to the camera" occasionally when I open the camera app. I have to restart the device to use the camera (or the torch) again.
I suppose it was a rom related problem, but while upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 (so new camera app) I saw the problem remain identical and I start investigate.
The problem is on the camera firmware, that is not placed on the filesystem, so it didn't changes between flashes.
EDIT: the problem is not completely solved, but is seems less frequent than before...
The only way to change it seems to flash a samsung stock rom (or a based one) and follow this steps:
dial *#34971539# in stock dialer
check your camera vendor using "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check" (the first two letter of "Cam FW Ver")
if you have a ZD* firmware download this file: View attachment ZDFF03.zip (thanks to GrayJack)
if you don't have a ZD* firmware you have to try yourself downloading from here or here (please report your results and I will update this post)
unzip the file SlimISP.bin in the root of your internal memory
dial *#34971539# again
upgrade yur camera fw using "Phone to CAM FW Write (Rear)"
restore your favorite rom
optional: press thanks/donate button :good:
Here's my tests on ZD camera + 4.2.1 AOKP
ZDFE02: frequent "Can't connect to the camera"
ZDFF03: good
ZDFI02: this is the most recent, but camera force closes
Hi,
i'm having the same issue, and I made a topic about it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37325700#post37325700
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? I followed your instructions, but the FW write button stays disabled?
you have a ZH* firmware? which file you try to use?
the one attached in my post is for ZD* cameras and in the GrayJack/4PDA threads there is no trace of this vendor.
maybe there's a compatibilty check that keep the flash butto disabled and maybe you have a new hardware that didn't have an older firmware to flash?
It Works!
Heya, just wanted to let you know that this FW really fixed the camera issues on my S3.
I was running ZDFE02 and after updating to ZDFF03 all problems were gone.
Running CM10.1 now with Camera 4.2 and Photo Sphere.
Thank you for your great work!

hi there,
first a big thx for you @c3k for finding the time to investigate the issue for all the no SAMMY roms which the cam is most likely the only disadvantage over the SAMMY firmware !
i've flashed stock rom dialed the no. and got an earlier cam+phone firmware GDFE02 on both cam+phone FW, i've applied the update at the thread you linked to and now i'm running both phone and cam FW with: ZDFF03.
i've restored my jellybam nand but unfortunately the issue persists "as usual".
i tried to clear data and dalvik cache+fix the permissions and clear the gallery(aka camera app) data as well.
after rebooting i'm still getting the problem.
i guess it the fix doesn't work at every phone for some reason(i have the i9300 off course).
if anyone have any suggestions i'd love to hear
cheers
i try to dial *#34971539# in stock dialer but my GS3 return nothing.

I think samsung may have changed the S3 camera in lastest hw versions, and maybe it has no more an upgradable firmware.
If this is correct the only way is work on the aosp source to have a better comunication with this new hardware, but I don't know how hard it is, if is possible and how many i9300 camera vendor / version exists,,,
When and where you buy your device? (is it i9300, right?)

Can someone help to fix the camera on my galaxy s3?
Same problem here
I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem.
This camera issue happens on every ROM I flash with the exception of the Stock ROMs.
I am now re-flashing my AOKP 4.2.1 ROM that I had running a little while ago. It seems the problem is with every ROM but the stock ones, which is a shame considering I'm not the biggest touchwiz fan and I love AOKP.
So does anyone know of any fix? the error only happens when I take a picture. I really dont know what to do. I am open to any suggestions.
Thanks, as always.
