Hey Guys,
I use a stable 10.1.3 CM since a year on my S2. Lately the camera started to quit qorking: "can't connect to camera".
About this time the torch (LED app) app did the same thing: "unfortunately torch has stopped".
What I did: do a full data/cache/dalvik cache erase: factory reset.
The camera/torch still malfunctioning.
Then flashed the last nightly CM: cm11-20140429, but still no luck.
Then reflashed the old stable version, maybe if it'll work, but noooo.
Do you have any suggestion to resolve this issue? My phone is 2 years old, never had a problem with it. Until now.
Shall I flash something via Odin?
Is there a "deeper" way to rewrite the camera/LED firmware/code/whatever?
(I was wondering if flashing these 2 CM versions the appropiate firmware's aren't rewritten)
Thanks in advance for the replies!
you can try more ROMs. However, there is a possibility that its a hardware issue.
The camera stopped working on my galaxy S1 after a factory reset.
I never did get it working again, and I tried about 4 different camera firmwares, flashing back to stock, and replaced the camera module too. Nothing worked.

Sorry to hear that.
I'm wondering now to replace the camera module as well.
I quickly tried this 3 ROM: aosb_kk_1.3.6_i9100, omni-4.4.4-20140728-i9100-NIGHTLY, Slim-i9100-4.4.2.build.5-OFFICIAL-4068, but with the same disappointig result: no camera, no LED.
If I first start LED/torch isntead of camera, the LED sometimes flashes:
I switch on, but nothing happens. Then switch it off: after a few sec delay the button will show the "off" state, and during this process the LED flashes for 1 sec.
I will try to revert to stock with odin, maybe...
The camera module is very easy to change. All you have to do is unplug it and plug a new one in.
You might be luckier than me.

Yes, but what if the same thing will appear? Ie. I'll change the camera module, but won't work.
Isn't there an easier way to check if surely the camera moduled is dead?
Btw I downgraded it to stock ROM via Odin, but camera still dead, so it is probably not a software error. :crying:
There's no way of telling if your camera module is broken without putting a new one in.
It didn't fix it for me though. And believe me when I say I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out.
Ok then.
Thank you very much for the support!

Hi,
I have been having trouble with my camera for over a month now.
I have tried searching this forum and the net extensively to the best of my ability and hence, chose to start a thread to seek help with my trouble.
Suddenly, one morning, about a month back, when i started my camera, it didn't start and showed the message "Camera Failed" giving me the option of just clicking ok...
I tried restarting, factory reset, deleting cache etc, nothing worked..
Then, after a couple of days, it started showing that 'Force Close' message saying the android.app.camera has stopped working unexpectedly.
I upgraded the firmware to KG1 2.3.4, it stayed the same. Nothing changed.
Then, i rooted my phone a few days ago and loaded the camera mod by potatoman hoping that would help solve the problem.. Still, nothing has changed.
The Z device test shows both primary camera and secondary camera as 'X' meaning the hardware doesn't exist or is faulty. But when i try and make a video call, the secondary camera works fine.
I also tried some Cam to FW write code but it wont work as well.. It again gave force close msg only...
Is there any way to check whether there is a problem with my hardware or is this a firmware problem that can be fixed? I hate the thought of giving the phone to the Samsung Service Centre. Also, since i have now rooted the phone, i think i might have to buy some jig to reset some count.
Am very depressed as i love my phone and loved its camera and its been an age since i last used it..
Request help from anyone who can.
Thanks in advance.
have you tried updating it with SamsungApps?
also, try flashing cyanogenmod7 if that doesnt fix it nothing will as cyanogenmod uses its own code, not samsungs
Hit The Thanks Button If I Helped
Thanks a lot for the prompt response..
I searched the cyanogenmod7 mod that you talked about. It sounds like it just isn't for novices like me.. I will still read through it extensively and try and install that..
As far as updating the camera with samsung apps is concerned, i didn't find any updates for the camera there..
Is there a specific way in which i can update the camera through the samsung apps?

Does it work with Third party apps from the MArket? like camera 360 and stuff......
If it does then may be the camera apk is corrupted in some way.
I would suggest you try to flash via ODIN your original firmware 2.3.3 from Intratech's Thread in the DeV section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928&highlight=official+kernel and see if it fixes your problems and then flash 2.3.4
also as mentioned above you should have a camera firmware update in the samsung apps which you could try also

Hi,
i tried restoring my original firmware..
Still, no luck..
Has no one faced a similar problem to the one i am facing??
Can't believe this is happenin !!!
Haven't used my camera for over 45 days now..
Plz help..
Thanks in advance..
Hi,
Im also facing the exact same problem and it seems no one can help. Please let me know if you find any solution.

To be honest if you have tried multiple different roms, done full wipes, tried different apps, the only answer left is a hardware or firmware problem.
And if the Samsung apps firmware updated doesn't do anything, then it may be broken
Best bet is to restore it to stock, clear your flash counter and send it back.

Hi,
Can you access the CameraFirmware Standard hidden menu by dialing *#34971539# as im getting a force close error saying the application Factory Test has stopped unexpectedly.
Please check and let me know.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Hi,
i remember getting the force close message when i had tried last time to access that menu..
However, since then, i have tried various solutions on different threads and ended up uninstalling the camera fw.. the default fw wouldn't install. each time i try to install, it says 'application not installed'..
Hence, i do not have any camera fw installed on my phone at the moment.
i could, surprisingly, access the hidden menu now..
i checked the version and this is what i got:
Camera FW Ver : Failed
Phone FW Ver : TBEC28
Can i do anything else with that menu as well??
I tried installing the camera.apk in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098834
after that, i got back the camera icon in menu. it still won't work though !!!
i tried accesssing the menu again and it did open..
however, it kept showing the same message as above.
Camera FW : Failed
Phone FW : TBEC28
i tried Phone to CAM FW Write.
it gave a dialogue box with invalid version written on top and the details of camera and phone fw as above.
Somebody help us down here !!!!
You know what sammy care's services is not that bad an option bcoz if u have tried different 3rd party apps...and it still doesnt work that means the problem lies with the camera hardware for sure...something you cant solve on your own.So stop wasting days thinking about it..give it to sammy care and in no time you ll get it fixed \m/

I have a similar problem; all of a sudden my camera stopped working right at the start of my vacation trip. I get the same "Camera Failed" error. However, a couple of days late I tried and I did get an image, though it was only static. I even managed to take a picture of the static. A day later again "Camera Failed". As it was a 4 week trip I tried numerous of times, one time it worked for a second but the image slowly disintegrated, most of the time FC's, errors or no image.
Cam FW:OCEF02
Phone FW:TBEC28
Once home I tried everything, various camera.apk’s, 3rd party apps, (stock) roms, firmware, nothing. Waiting for my ordered JIG to reset counter before sending it back, it must be hardware related. I didn’t do anything special, no dropping, not letting it get extremely hot or cold, no exotic roms.

I recently rooted my One and had networking issues so i flashed this rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266025 ) and after flashing though the networking issues were fixed it then had issues with the back and home buttons, as the phone did when i purchased it, so i located and installed the ota patch that tmobile had pushed to fix it, and there was an error installing it, but the buttons were fixed anyway, but now my camera app does not work, i can open it and see nothing but black, the apps buttons do not appear to respond and after some time i get a "unable to start camera: error. i cannot locate a apk or anything similar to try to reinstall the camera app, other apps i launch tell me "error accessing camera", any help would be appreciated
Update: just discovered, the light does not work either
fixed issue by flashing a different rom and flashing back
i had the same problem
I never actually solved it though. It happened when a replacement was already on the way so i didn't bother trying to fix it. I did research a little and came across a few people that said a bad kernel flash could cause this. I was running the stock kernel and stock rom, and it was working just fine before the OTA so i figuered it was probably a hardware issue. If i were you i would try flashing another kernel. If doesnt work call up tmo and they will probably send you a replacement(you can also contact them through the live chat the on the website, much more convenient in my opinion). I had blown speaker and they didnt even ask about unlocking the bootloader or root, i assume it is because it was clearly a hardware issue. If you figure it out, please share.
Hello ppl i could really use your help.
About a few weaks ago i installed a nightly version of cm 10.2 all was working fine until my phone didnt wake up at some point. So i tried to reboot phone with holding down power button until the 3 buttons start flashing but it didnt work out my phone didnt reboot. So i tried to do it again with holding down power button but now the 3 buttons didnt start flashing but the power led went of for a second and came back up so i waited after that. my phones screen stayed black for like 15 minutes and after that the htc quitly brilliant screen comes up. When i wait another 15 minutes it will start to boot into cm.
Now i get the following problems: Sound on my phone doesnt work anymore, Camera doenst work, Cant play videos, Gps doesnt work etc etc.
I tried to install stable version of cm 10.1 flashed new boot.img but didnt seem to solve the problem same problems as with 10.2 remain.
does anyone know how i can fix this?
Still didnt fix my problems does anyone know what to do?
Tried different roms with different kernels but booting still takes awfull long.

Guys maybe you can help me, my phone is behaving very strange. It is a Tianhe H920+ with 4gb ROM, identical with Mlais MX58 Pro, Auxus Nuclea N1 and others.
Roms for Auxus Nuclea N1 are working perfectly, but, first of all i have problems with the rear camera, i am not getting any error messages, but just only the front camera is working and the switch camera option is missing, after i install some third party camera app it freezes.
Phone was suited with Tianhe ROM, build march 2014, for sure i made backup. What i have found out, when i flash the original BOOT.IMG, camera works fine, but the old kernel will be installed. I have unpacked it, checked also init, init.project files, they are totally the same, no change there, just the Zimage differs / Kernel.
All works fine but i have the old known wake up bug, i must remove the battery and start the phone again. I was searching everywhere, but i couldnt find any fix for it. I know flash firmware, but like i already mentioned rear camera is not working with other kernels, all other functions are ok. Is there any possible solution? Framework fix or something please?
Till now i have tried almost 10-15 roms, from MX58 Pro, Star, Tianhe, but non of them is suited with a kernel with working rear camera :crying:. Thank you very much.
Heyy delltech1.. I've also facing similar issue...have you found any solution to your problem?

Hello DellTech1.
I am facing the same issue with the pnone not waking up after it has gone to deep sleep.
I found out, that it only happens, when WLAN (WIFI) is switched on.
(For tests I had no SIM installed and the phone was reset to factory setup)
When WIFI is switched off it starts up as it should.
Could this issue be related to baseband?
Do you have more informations now?
Additional infos:
It showed, that the wakeup issue occured, when the phone was logged into a Network with WPA2 security.
Because I did not believe this, I did trials on 3 different networks with 3 different routers.
In each case, the phone did not wake up, if WLAN was active and the security settings in the router have been WAP2.
If I changed the settings in the routers to WPA, wake up was fine.
Anyway: an active WLAN connection (either WPA2 or WPA) does not allow the phone to go into Deep Sleep.
(according to CPU SPY at WPA, and my fingers touching the warm back of the phone with WPA2)

Hi,
i have flashed the "new rom" from pandawillforum. But be carefull, after flashing i wasnt able to start the phone, it softbricked the phone, but i was able to unbrick it. Before you will flash it, take the PRELOADER file from a good known working rom and replace it. Then try to flash it, it will work now.
I have used the phone without the simcard, Wifi was enabled, Gmail synchronization also, i have used the phone for about 5 days, wakeup issue didnt reappeared. Camera is working also. Just search in the forum for H920 and you will find many topics, but i can also post the link here:

Modified version of Note 3 yasuu ROM.
Just for the case that someone do not know how to replace boot.img (kernel 2014) and replace camera drivers I am uploading modified version of Note 3 yasuu ROM.
No flickering screen,No back camera bug or green camera,No unlock freez yet.
Only bad thing is battery usage, maybe because my USB connector is damaged.I do not know try it out and share your results about the baterry please.
LINK (CWM zip file) :
mediafire.com/download/v3n65fltmwka52z/ROM_NOTE3_Kernel_2014_H920+.+Cam.Drivers.HanyxX.zip
Gave it a try.
Installation did work, but I missed keyboard.
Did install keyboard from APK.
Then tried to root. Framaroot said "ok", but Superuser did not work.
Tried to install Superuser by CWM method, but that ended in a startup-loop.
Had to Flash back Stock-ROM to recover.
Maybe try tomorrow again.
OK, Gave it a second try. This time without trying to root.
Well, the wake up issue does not exist anymore.
Unfortunately, it´s just because the phone does not start to Deep Sleep anymore.
It reduces processor rate, but does not start Deep Sleep.
That´s the cause for higher battery consumption.
By the way:
- The package of my phone is not labeled "Tianhe", but "CGC".
- Both cameras did work with this Rom.
- My phone has 8GB of memory and stock ROM is 03/2014

I have tried the last modified version of this rom but the camera is not working for me..not frontal one,not the back one..i have tried all roms from needrom(tianhe,mlais or star...)..no one is proper to have working camera...any advice
I did reset my phone with this firmware from Pandawill Forum (8GB version). The firmware is for H920+ that are produced after March 2014.
It seems, that there has been a change of camera hardware.
http://www.pandawillforum.com/showthread.php?25569-ROM-ROM-for-Tianhe-H920&p=136188&viewfull=1#post136188
This seems to be real stock.
If your phone is produced after March, 2014 and this firmware does not solve the problem, there is a high probability that it is defective.
How to find out?
How can i find out what is the date manufacture of my phone?

Hello,
After trying all firmwares from panda and needrom i find that there is a hardware problem. BAD CONNECTION between board and camera conector!
Try to open the phone and press firmly camera connector to the board. Then put above something thick 1 mm (non metal) to hold the connector in same position.
It's worked fine for me. Good luck to you!:good:

How do you unbrick your phone... ??? Please advise !!!
Galaxy S III 19300 has developed a problem where every time i try to use the phone i.e press power button and then swipe, the screen sleeps, Sometimes it sleeps after 10 seconds sometimes before i even swipe. Factory reset done, have now rooted it, but need to ascertain if it is a hardware failure or bug. I managed to set time out for the longest setting and obviously usb debug mode but wonder if its a power issue or gpu or driver issue etc.... please can anyone help?
Hopefully you're still on a stock rom.. Theres a ussd code to bring up a test app. You'll be able to test the proxy sensor etc from there.
If everything seems OK or if you have a custom rom then you'll have to download the firmware and odin on a pc and flash the phone back to stock. You'll need to flash the firmware, factory reset and flash again. That way you know there isn't any remnants left over from the last time it was used/flashed/rooted. This is the only way to find out if it's a hardware or software issue without all the faff.
Beyond not having the phone in my hand that is the only advice worth giving. If you keep chasing shadows you won't find the problem. Best to nip it in the bud.
