[Q] Samsung Galaxy S II, Camera Not Working and Screen is Black

My Samsung Galaxy SII had been working fine, no issues at all until two days ago I went to take a picture and the camera won’t work, the camera screen is black and hanged up when I press to take a picture for a while then I just keep getting some error messages like force close, and media server not responding. I've tried to clear the cash and data for the camera application but nothing happened, I wiped the cash from the recovery mode without any success. Also I downloaded the app GalaxyS2 Camera Firmware Update and after installed and open the app freeze after the message of turning the phone to the airplane mode then nothing happened.
I tried other apps using camera some of the not working at all, and some recording some videos with the black screen on but after finishing recording it showed me what recorded but even this happened after long time of waiting for the app to do recording.
I tried to do the test for the camera using the code *#0*# for the back and front cam but get the error message of "activity factory test not responding (wait or Close)" then Camera failed. I searched over the web but most of those who had the same problem mentioned that they did factory reset with no luck.
My phone running:
Andriod version 4.0.3
Basedband I9100XXLPX
kernel version of 3.0.15-I9100JPLPF-CL644992
[email protected] #3
Build number IML74K.JPLPF.
Hopefully I will find a solution

I did a Factory reset from the recovery mode and it works for awhile and the closed with media scanning running error then I unmount the SD Card and now it works perfect, and when I mount it again the error message comes again..
I think the problem from the beginning with the SD card, so for anybody faced this first start with un-monunting the SD card and see what is happened first before he/she loose his/her other apps.

Best thing to try is go back to stock firmware with Odin then test it. If it fails then it's hardware problem. Are you stock ATM? Rooted? Have you dropped it?

[HELP] Camera failing with error "EVT or cal error, please change test device"
Hi. I am running my s6 edge on 5.1.1. I just noticed today that the camera is causing this error. When I used it a couple of days back, it was working perfectly fine.
The screen freezes and after some time the camera is stated as not responding. I tried clearing cache and data for the camera. I even insatalled a totally new rom, still the issue persist.
Please help me with this. Thank you.

Warning Camera Failed

Today I went to use my camera and when I open the app I get a message saying "Warning Camera Failed"
I've tried
1. Clearing the Camera app cache/ data
2. Restarting
3. Power off and massaging/ smacking the back
4. Restarting in safe mode
All 4 attempts did not get rid of the error message. When I got the same message after restarting in safe mode I thought the issue might be something more technical than I could handle so that's why I'm posting.
Has anybody else had experience with this issue (Camera Failed message in safe mode)?? I'm at a loss.
Clear system cache, hard reboot.
If no go go back to factory loaded cam app version if possible.
Maybe a hardware failure or possible firmware corruption.
Malware is always a possibility.
