K01A, aka ASUS MeMO Pad ME170CX
Prod date 2014-10 IIRC.
Hello all.
I've been all over the net, and no-one it seems know what causes a "NO CAMERA IS FOUND" error message on Android devices.
I have 2 ME170CX's with a production date of 2014-10 IIRC about 30-days old running 4.4.2, firmware Version WW_V11.2.3.27 in which one of them all the sudden the camera app crashes 100% of the time, then gives a "No camera is found" error message.
*Pretty sure the camera worked after updating to 4.4.2, ASUS firmware Version WW_V11.2.3.27 but I have several devices so I can't confirm 100%
When I click the camera icon:
Cam app comes up, the "Still" pic capture icon lights up for (3) seconds.
During this time there is no live image, and icons appear "greyed out" /are non-functional.
At the end of the (3) seconds, the "Still pic"capture icon remains lit, and the "Video" capture icon lights up as well.
Both the "Still and the Video" icons remaining lit up for (1) second.
(4 seconds total)
At 4 seconds camera app crashes, you are dumped back to the desktop and you get a "NO CAMERA IS FOUND" error message.
Rebooting the device has NO affect, DITTO on doing a wipe, factory reset from within the OS, OR doing a wipe, running a "Recovery" from the device itself (Not connected to a PC) using DROIDBOOT.
Beyond a hardware issue no-one knows what causes this beyond (1) poster that mentioned he thought problem first occurred after hitting the "Home" button right after hitting the cam icon and the thought is the app gets confused by this and the app/firmware for the camera gets corrupted.
Figured I'd re-flash with same Version WW_V11.2.3.27, if that doesn't work try Version WW_V11.2.3.28 before RMA'ing it back to ASUS.
*NOTE: I have been unsuccessful in trying to flash either of the above firmwares to the K01A, aka ME170CX using just the ME170CX itself. (No PC connected.)
Is the trick to flash the firmware file(s) listed on ASUS to do so connected to a PC? ASUS site cryptically mentions SOP (Manual) Method and when I Google SOP I find a couple of PDF's that state when you insert a properly prepared SD card you should get a "prompt", a "pop-up" on the taskbar saying a update is ready to be installed.
The only notification I'm getting is "SD is being prepared" IIRC, and in the drop down window I only see a option to unmount the mounted SD card.
Can anyone offer some into on the No camera is found Error message?, and or point to any kind of decent guides with explain how to use DROIDBOOT?

Hi,
A few days ago, I updated my HTC Titan (bought in 2011 in France as a sim-unlocked device) to the official Tango update (+ firmware update) through Zune.
Then, after doing a hard reset, the usual setup assistant is displayed, but at the end of it there is a new step that wasn't there before the update (titled "Almost Done") telling me that the phone is going to launch some kind of htc specific utility in order to configure my data connection for my carrier. Then after clicking on "continue", I see a black screen for about 15 seconds (like when an app doesn't manage to load properly and WP7 kills it because it took too long to start), then the start screen appears (but I don't receive the usual fake welcome SMS from Windows Phone).
I can launch apps, but the capacitive Back button, Start button, Search button don't react (they cause the phone to vibrate, but WP doesn't react to these commands).
After shutting down the phone and restarting it, I'm greeted by the setup recovering screen (titled "Welcome Back") telling me that Windows Phone will resume my setup where I left it (that explains why the capacitive buttons don't react: they were software disabled because Windows Phone considered it was still in first setup mode. Same for the fake welcome sms I didn't receive). Of course the same problem happens again when I tap on continue, and when I restart my phone.
I tried several hard reset through the usual methods (either through the about menu, or through the menu displayed using VolUp+VolDown at startup). Still the same problem. I guess it's a bug that should happen on many Titan devices. I contacted the HTC support and they told me to send my phone back to HTC for repair
Of course Zune won't let me restore the backup because of the firmware update not longer compatible with the backup.
Did anybody have the same problem with a stock htc titan rom?
I'm also wondering what is the new "HTC Log disable" command on the "CUST APPSBL" screen? I'm sure it wasn't there before the update. Is there some kind of htc specific logging that is enabled by default (since it is a "disable" command). What is being logged?
Also, the red diode (indicating when the battery is charging) is being lit during startup, which didn't happen before the update. Does that mean something?
Hi,
It is quite normal for the new Tango ROM to display that extra HTC specific step, even though it doesn't work!
I experimented with the Titan a bit and found that as soon as the Start screen appears after setup, before doing anything else, long press the Connection setup app in the app list and uninstall it.
It will enable normal functionality.
If needed you can always download it again from Marketplace.

It happened to me too!!!
Moreover, after a hard-reset the HTC Market disappeared in the market!
I disabled the pin to the sim re-formatted, and connected to electricity, and aftew few times HTC market reappeared (!), immediately updated ALL the htc software (even the connection wizard) and everything is OK now... exept the possibility to install INSIDER (by Microsoft)... it is said that the app is not available for my device (!!!) ... I used it until yesterday on my Titan with Mango... I REALLY DO NOT KNOW

Yes, exactly the same problem happened after hard-resetting on tango. I simply waited a bit with the phone on the main menu and the softkeys not working. After a while, I received the WP7 welcome text, and the softkeys started to work again.

Hi all,
I made a new hard-reset.
As suggested by maTTeo I simply waited even with softkeys not working... I only disactivated the pin on sim so that the Titan could find an internet connection.
After receiving the SMS of woelcome on WP7, I immediately upgraded all the HTC apps
Everythings seems fine for the moment...

Ok the phone is:
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-LS720-Titanium-Silver-optimus-f3
LG Optimus F3
Android 4.1.2
T-Mobile pushed a OS system update on 12/3/13. After 3 weeks of the constant reminder, my girlfriend talked me into attempting to get the update to install last night.
So I moved all of her pictures to an external SD card, and attempted the update. With the phone fully charged & plugged into an outlet it failed several times. After checking available system memory I found that the unit had less than 100 mb. So I did a factory reset, to remove the many, many apps that were installed after purchase.
On initial boot the phone does not enter into a Setup Wizard like most handsets, instead it goes straight to the home screen (no lockscreen) and a warning is displayed. "Unfortunately, Home has stopped." and the only option is "OK". When attempting to navigate to the >System>Settings nothing happens (Black screen) & eventually you will get the "Unfortunately, Home has stopped." to display or occasionally "Unfortunately, SystemUI has stopped." or "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.".
You are not able to answer a call, text, etc....Attempting to swipe down and choosing Quick Settings Browser, the browser opens and then closes with "Unfortunately, Home has stopped.". The app drawer will not open.
I've completed many, many (north of 20) hard factory resets by:
Powering off
Pressing Power+Volume Down+Home
Following the prompts of pressing "Power" twice to initiate & confirm the Factory Rest
The Green Android Bug is displayed and then back to the above problem of "Unfortunately, Home has stopped."
Forcing the unit into Safe Mode, and you get the same results as above.
My two complaints with this model is that it has very limited system memory & zero ROM support.
Being the phone is not rooted, neither is ADB set on the unit. So pushing another launcher to the phone is not possible that I'm aware of, also no means to enter fastboot.
When the unit was taking by the T-Mobile store stated the phone has been wet due to a pink indicator on the battery. We purchased the unit new and it has never by wet (We do live a couple of blocks from the ocean). So the T-Mobile store refused to service the unit. Also the unit was completely functional until attempting this system update.
Any suggestions? (tossing it in the garbage would be wonderful if I could afford a replacement, which I am not at this time).
Problem has been solved
Apparently LG has a software tool that reset's the phone to factory. WIN

With the One V, you had to flash the boot.img in fastboot. Sometimes I would forget and this would be three result.

You had it lucky. My phone, same one, is stuck at the LG screen. No animation, just a picture. It has been sitting like that for hours. I connected it to my computer, and it doesn't show up. I think it's screwed.
** This post should be in the "Help & Troubleshooting" section of the Nexus Player - ooops. **
My Nexus Player started hanging up at the 4 balls bounce routine last week. After trying a factory reset, the only thing that I've been able to do to get back to Android boot with TV interface is the OTA restore from the latest version 8.0.
This however doesn't stick, as if the device powers off, powering up, the problem returns.
I had the hdmi output connected to a switch that allows the monitor to be shared with a laptop. If the NP device goes to sleep, the switch automatically opens up the feed from the laptop (dual monitor). If I switch back, the wake up mode becomes the 4 balls again.
Someone pointed to the Oreo upgrade as being problematic. Do these symptoms sound like software or hardware?
I did connect the unit without the switch directly to the monitor and got slightly different results. Now the unit tells me that I need to run system restore which formats /data and another partition then partially loads get the Android screen and starts over. Tried to restore from OTA again and it won't pair with the controller saying "Can't play this video" .
Got it running again, let it run overnight with a channel selection and by morning it had died.
Tried loading a different OTA Ver.8 and it is too smart for that. I am reading though from several sites that I'm not the only one with a partial brick since the update to Ver. 8. - Unfortunately, that was "supposed" to be the last update, yet there appears to have been a "zero day" failure built into it.
OK Google (seems as if Asus isn't responsible) the ball is in your court, yet it's going to be difficult to patch when the device is partially bricked.

I got a cheap Fusion5_108 tab off ebay working but with a cracked "screen"
i've ordered a new digitizer... atm it's totally unresponding to touch, but will work with a mouse / keyboard in the usb A socket on the tab.
So i was playing with it, i plan to use it for one specific task... part of a train driving control desk, the tablets will be the displays found in German trains... i.e. the 'MFA' thats speedo gauges and lights on one tab, electronic timetable on another tablet, the engine dignostic data on another tab, brake pressure gauges on another etc... i already have a lenovo A6700-f that i replaced the digitizer on and did the same things to, and it still works fine.
I loaded the 'TS_MFD' app that works with the train sim via tcp, got it all working fine.
Then i decided i didnt like the google search bar along the top of the home screen, and found out online that by disabeling google services app, it'd get rid of it... so i did that, the search bar went.. but left a shadow box where it used to be... so i thought i'd reboot the tablet and see if that got rid of it.
Held power button in till i got the shutdown / re-boot options, chose re-boot.
Aaaannnd... now it's stuck in a boot loop. all it does it begin to start up... the Fusion5 logo comes up, then it goes "android is starting" 'optimizing apps, 1, 2, 3 of 3...'
Then black screen with android in middle, and that screen goes brighter and dimmer... then eventually it'll reset, and show the "android is starting, optimizing apps' thing over and over.... once it froze on the optimizing apps screen, the circle that goes round froze. but usually it's just loops... left it overnight and still doing it this monring.
If i shut it down by holding power for 10 seconds or so, and hold any volume button and power, it'll start the recovery thing... BUT all i get is the dead android and "No Command'
And no combinations of pressing the power and volume buttons will do anymore... even tried with a mouse and a keyboard... best i could get is a re-boot pressing CTRL - ALT - DELETE on the keyboard.
There seems no way to get this thing to show the recovery options... when i did this on the lenovo tab, it went straight to the 'select option with volume buttons' thing i'm expecting.
Obviousely there's no wany to get this tablet into USB debugging mode, trying the thing where you hold volume button, plug usb cable in, press power 10 times, it sometimes shows up as a usb media devise, sometimes a NDIS internet sharing devise. but they go when it boot loops.
I even tried de-soldering the battery and leaving it for 20 minutes, but upon re-soldering the battery onto the mainboard, it does the same boot loop thing.
I've read i could use Phoenix card writer to make an SD card with the firmware on it, and start the tablet up with that sd card in the slot and it'll load from it.... but where do i find the firmware? the allwinner site doesnt seem to have a firmware... that i can find for the A83T processors.
This is all i know about this devise:
Allwinner
Fusion5_108
1.0
002001014108aa62de01
A83t processor (confirmed by looking inside it)
not mine.. but same model:
ro.product.firmware=v6.0rc4_20161114
ro.fota.version=Fusion5_108_16_OS60_UK_20170310_V2F
ro.inet.model.name=N1061L14BC
Any suggestions?
Got it fixed,
Been emailing the fusion5 people, started that via their store... just google fusion5 store.
And they spend a while figuring out which tablet i have, sent an .img file... first one was for the wrong devise..... never than the one i have... but the 2nd try they got me the right firmware,
Loaded it to a micro SD card using phoenic card, popped the sd card in the tablet, started it up and it loaded the firmware, took the sd card out, and it rebooted and started up fine,
Only thing is it's android 5, and the tablet used to be running android 6... so now i'm looking at how to upgrade to marshmallow, as there are some apps i used that wont run on older than android 6.
Rom needed
Hi mate, do you mind sharing the ROM for the fusion5 108 ?
Thanks
re: Fusion5 Rom
Hi there. I know this thread is a couple of years old, but I haven't been able to find the ROM for this tablet anywhere else, so I wanted to see if you (or anyone reading this) wouldn't mind sharing it. Thanks!

Hi all,
I've got an LG G Vista 2 that I've been trying to turn into an audiobook/podcast/mp3 player after decommissioning it from use as a cellphone about a year ago. However, whenever I boot the phone the screen remains black and a popup appears saying: "Unfortunately System UI has stopped". When tapping "ok" to close the popup the screen remains black and shortly later another popup appears, effectively preventing any interfacing with the device. Even keeping the power down menu open long enough to turn off the phone is a struggle.
It seems like the most common recommendation online is to factory reset the phone through recovery mode - I have tried that several times, each time the popup comes up even before going through the Android setup process. The same popup comes up even in safe mode. I'm at a loss of what to do: I have no way to interface with the phone, through the device still seems to work fine. I'm wondering if this issue is possibly caused by a hardware fault that is manifesting in a software issue, or if the OS install is just incredibly corrupted.
Is there any way to reinstall Android on the phone without being able to access its GUI? Being a lower-end phone from several years ago it is rather hard to find OEM ROMs online, though even if I had a ROM I wouldn't know exactly what to do. I would appreciate any recommendations on where to go from here.
Thanks.
Were you able to solve this issue?
No, unfortunately not. It doesn't seem to be a straightforward fix and I haven't gotten around to really working on it. I'm still open for sugustions if anyone has any tips.
