Hello, I'm Laurent from Belgium. Juste arrived in Taiwan couple of days ago.
I put CM13 a couple of months ago on my beloved S3. (I9300 from belgium)
Everything was fine, sometimes camera plant and just have to reboot.
But Monday when I arrived in Taiwan (pity) I wanted to take a picture and than big freeze and the phone totally blocked. It was on a boot loop (logo animation).
Arrived at the hotel than I try others CM (nightly and snapchot) with or without gapps and flashed correctly but still on a boot loop, once he arrived at the first step (choose language) but as soon as i touch the screen freeze, than boot loop again.
I arrived finally to get the stock rom and put everything back on 4.3 (from updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model ).
Can't use the front camera, rear camera and flash:
- The stock camera app: i see all the buton but don't do anything if I touch them (settings, color, switch rear/front ...) and the screen is black. the menu button on bottom left just propose me "edit shortcut"
- All other app: instagram and others don't work (it launch but do nothing when I push the picture button)
- Flashlight app freeze too, when I launch, black screen and the flash never light.
- When I used the code *#0*# (or something) it launch the soft but if I choose "mega cam" black screen and than "test factory is not responding" (now the front camera work with this test factory)
- when I used the code *#34971539# to launch "camerafirmware standard" I just have this title on the top but again nothing under, black (not the menu with upgrade camera firmware etc)
I try so the full wipe and reinstall without wifi etc (so don't go on my google account dl straight app etc)
I try the app manager: force stop and clear cache and clear data.
I try a small package fix camera found in a thread here
I try recovery and wipe cache, wipe data, factory reset ...
I bought a screw driver and open it and move cables etc (not totally remove the motherboard
I try to put an other kernel.
I try to update the camera firmware by recovery (but don't know if it can work or not)
I read and read and read so many thread all over google hours and hours ...
The thing is that so the flash doesn't work either: when I install the flashlight it tell me "need to access camera" so say yes of course, but so plant when I launch, so means that the app try to pass by the camera driver to open the flash no? problem is that I can't update the firmware as the samsung code plant also. I don't know if on stock I can install it by an other way or either remove/reinstall camera driver or stock camera app.
I was thinking to buy a new phone here anyway but no in a hurry and the first month here in taiwan I want to travel so take pictures as well I will try to find an old shop with broken phone and replace the camera.
ps: I'm not sure about the carrier/region of my phone ! is it possible to find it somewhere? with iemi or SN ? When I use kies he told me I'm already update, but I'm not sure if I have the right stock rom. (everything else work fine so)
GT I9300
FDD ID: A3LGTI9300A
SSN: -I9300GSMH
IMEI: 354793/05/342885/2
S/N: RF1CAEFX6HB
(internet connection in the hotel is slow, I need to go to a coffee shop to DL rom, so I can't try every other stock rom )
Thank you if you took time to read uh uh
yeah, just read some french thread.
Apparently this is a well known problem. Hardware camera...
Will try to get one for cheap.
But I don't get it that the flash and the camera stop to work in the same time. Are they linked ? if the camera is dead, the soft won't detect it so ll not run so the flash won't work as well ?

Hi all
I notice in the Samsung Apps that there was a camera firmware ugrade. So i clicked yes and it downloaded a 2.5mb file. The it told me that it would turn the phone to Airplane mode to apply the update. Guess what, next screen was pure blackness, nothing....left it for about 5 mins and nothing. Pressed the power button to re-activate screen and still blackness....then got a force close for the updater and phone restarted. Phew all started well. The when i try to use the camera the software starts up but the flash just keeps half flashing every few seconds and get no view through the camera view finder on screen. The software starts but no image from camera sensor on screen. Can not change it to video mode nor to front camera. Have tried the update again but still get the dreaded black screen every time and have to restart phone. Also after about 5 mins the camera FC's.
Have re-installed full firmware again after phone wipe/cache wipe and this goes fine but alas camera still will not work. Before i go and find the nearest bus to jump under can anyone offer any solutions to my problem or do i really need to take it back to the O2 store(Uk).
Thanks

Did you install O2 firmware ..If not i would before returning to store .
Have you tried Factory Reset after the firmware update .
jje
yeah did a factory reset via privacy feature and via recovery.....im hopefull that service center will have facilities just to re-flash firmware for camera...as i cant seem to do it again.....and it came unlocked so if i get a replacement will probably be locked this time....
I suspect that the camera firmware apk was corrupted during the download. Check your camera firmware version as per the firmware read and download the apk that is hosted here.

Thanks, but can't even check the firmware using the ussd code just hear the camera clicking....took it back today and luckily within the 30 days of purchasing so got a new one. Only downside is new one has the pink colour in photo's but i can live with it, I think....
First of all I would like to apologize for not so perfect English
I have U8650 and i would like to make this topic general topic for it. I know there are few topics but there is no much info in them.
I have made same topic on croatian forum for phones so i think it will be better if its on xda because there are much more people that are good in cooking cracking etc.
So lets begin
Detailed specifications can be seen on the LINK, however, the battery is 1400mAh[/ B] and not 1250 (i have sent email to gsmarena to change it but nothing hapend...)
ROOT and the original ROM
After playing with the phone I wanted too root it, after a good deal of trouble, and around 40 readed topics (without overdoing it) I came up with some knowledge, of course the problem is that the phone is currently on only few markets. (spain, croatia, turkey, australia and china i think)
To root U8650 you should flash it with original Rom, Spanish devices dont need original rom to root dont know why it is but it is
ROM
It is necessary to download an official ROM
LINK
After you download it unrar it and dload folder copy to memory card
Path should look like \ dload \ update
to flash device you need to
turn it off
remove the battery for 5 seconds
put the battery back in
press the buttons "VOL +" + "VOL-" + "ON" (all three keys at once)
and will start automatic firmware upgrade
for 3-4 minutes cell is debranded
If you get error not found firmware that means that you did not put the firmware on the SD card like you should (I got it a few times) just off the device and repeat the procedure.
root
After flashing unbranded firmware we can throw at root
software needed for the root LINK
This is similar to debranding.
download root file
Put it on SD card
turn off the phone
remove the battery for 3 seconds
Press "VOL +" + "ON" (without the vol-)
When you open the "bios like" menu use the volume keys up/down to select the update from memory card called root
after this procedure just reboot the phone and you have rooted phone
UNLOCK
My wife is on vip network so I had need to unlock cell

if this is forbiden on xda i will remove it
If you have any questions please ask, this all is wrote on xda and some other forums i just put all together
[B]Do not think i am responsible if anything goes wrong I have done in exactly those steps and everything works normally. Everything you do yo do at your own risk.[/B]
So: D after a slightly longer introduction with u8650 came the day to put Custom rom.
Of course, for custom rom you will need root thus described above tutorial.
After puting custom rom phone is like 20% faster
few main features
Integrated flash (load all ads from the flash) loads test flash from Adobe i didnt test it much more because yesterday i put custom firmware
new driver for the camera from turkcell that means 5MP camera resolution
Better battery life
overclock processors at 780MHz (you can set it manualy)
Here is the complete list of modifications that is taken with [URL="http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=262489"]LINK[/URL]
In principle, this entire tutorial is taken from [B]Zadkyn[/B] and translated becuse he is hard spanish guy nothing is on english he is not very good at answering questions but thanks to him we have custom roms and all the improvements.

I put 1.5 version because it has corrected a couple of bugs.
Biggest object is that he removed default camera app imho it's not a problem because you can instal lg camera.
So here is tutorial
What you will not learn from linked topic (and I found out by sheer luck) is that you need to install drivers and custom "bios" to be able to put custom rom
So first things first
You will need to do procedure in this topic [URL="http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=256095"]LINK[/URL]
First download the driver for Windows 7 [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?3bvp3p42t4iqwt2"]LINK[/URL]
So these are the drivers that you install and run you will have a screen with two options press instal drivers
If you have XP and these drivers dont work download this [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?20qkr711ceuna0n"]LINK[/URL]
I have W7 so I leave to you if this is working for xp (it should work because no one has yet complained )
The second step is to download this file [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?k421vgl3xy1fgpa"]LINK[/URL] unzip it and run Instalador.bat
You have fine hacker green screen and bunch of Spanish. luckily it doesn't interest us. Go to the next step and that is putting the phone in Fastboot mode.
The third step unplug the battery cell out/in pressing VOLUME - (or the volume down) and the power button and hold for 10 seconds.
it will show you only the Huawei logo and it should only show you that.
Step Four Connect the mobile phone with the USB cable, wait until computer detects it and after a few seconds go ti fine spanish green screen and press any key
It will flash "bios" of the phone it should be ready in a minute or two there is no hurry.
then reset the cell and you should have a fine new "bios".
Check this by turning off cell battery out / in and press the Volume + (volume up) and the power button for 10 seconds.
It should appear with orange letters like from the picture
[IMG]http://postimage.org/image/2d31ltan8/[/IMG]
After you have fine new "bios" you want to put fine new rom
The first step with this rom download [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?8qd05qhv5flhips"]LINK[/URL]
The second step is to put the zip in the root of your memory card.
The third step going into the BIOS mod So turn off the cell battery out / in the volume + power button for 10 seconds.
You get orange letter menu now navigate with the volume + and - and with the power Buton you confirm it.
The fourth step choose the factory data wipe, then wipe the cache and then advanced wipe devil cache (not the exact name but you will seen it)
Each time when you choose wipe you need to confirm it, always navigate to yes i want to wipe.
Fifth step Return to start of the BIOS and select the custom recovery and navigate to the zip file called zadkin and select it.
When you choose it will start to flash for me lasted about 4minute when it's finished, reboot the system and if everything went well (and there is no reason why not) you will get the boot menu with zad logo.
For first time cell loaded few minutes so patience.
After that you have a nice Costum rom that is faster and more economical with better battery life stronger processor and better camera
If you have questions feel free to shoot.
The same as in the first part of post you do all on yours risk and I am not responsible for any problems and errors. I did everything according to these instructions and I got what i wanted.
[B]CODES[/B]
codes for the service menu
[B]*#*# 2846579 #*#*[/B]
code for the info on your phone
[B]*#*# 4636 #*#*[/B]
All of this is wroted on few forums and i just wanted to put all in one place on the most visited forum for android (xda)
Also i would very like if someone with more expirience can read this tutorial and suggest something.
one more thing that i left out is RAM limitation and i hope to get some answers about that.
also if this helps someone feel free to thank me
Best regards
just flashed your custom rom without problems. its amazing what people can do..!! it seems based on the yoigo firmware and you have english and spanish as languages. everything you need is included filemanager app2sd etc. i like it very much.. thanks.
edit: could you kindly tell what the flashing of the bios (with pc) exactly is for?! thanks
If you dont flash that bios you cant wiPe devilk cache and you cant instal modified rom so basicly puting new bio is must for moded roms
It will be great if someone else can try this
As for wiping the data, there was only one thing possible to wipe. everything else was just a line of "NO" without option to change it.
I now have like 3 programs running in background thats cool... and of course its cool that many programs are removed that cant be removed otherwise (like documents2go trial)
But thE stock yoigo firmware is good too... It already comes with the possibility to install apps to SD u dont need extra program for that
EDIT :and i just come back to phone.. i left it on charger over night.. and its in the orange BIOS MODE !!!! so it crashed i guess ??? bad
EDIT2: Couldnt access 3g internet even tho i had the right profile .... will test some more
Unofrtunately the custom ROM has still a lot of bugs, be careful :-(
yeah its BS... i am going back to original yoigo at least there i can make it install all aps to SD automatically .... this hacked firmware cant even transfer most new aps to SD..
i hope i will have no problems cos of flashed bios...
thanks anyways both of you
edit: 2 more bugs.. adblock dont work (some java error crash) and the 11mb adobe flash cant be copied to sd or removed at all
out of 27 apps (a few downloaded by me) 7 can be copied to SD and 20 cant
is there anyone who tested cyan mode for this phone ?

Didnot work on U8652
12/14/11: I tried the rom upgrade on U8652 ATT fusion and received "install error' after unpacking.
Any suggestions?
12/15/11: I successfully installed the 'recoveryclockmod' after finding the proper android usb driver for winXp - 'pulse drivers'
then installed the custom rom. But the phone details on the installed custom rom says its a U8650 model not U8652.
Thanks OP
Thanks OP
I followed your instructions and installed recoveryclockmod and cyanogen_u8650-benru on my U8652. Now I finally have root and a nice ROM to play around with. Thanks OP
Does the root part work on a Huawei U8650 Sonic that came with android 2.3.5 and newer ROM ( U8650V100R001C343B851 ) ?
I need to root it to be able to use reverse USB tethering

unlockroot doesn't work, i tried the latest version (2.2) and i get the same error "Failed to get shell root !"
I have fried my U8650
I attempted a firmware update (official)... stage one completed... phone restarted and got stuck with a grey screen (no logo nothing just blank grey screen) all the soft buttons are turned on. constantly.
It wont go in to recovery, a simple touch to the power button turns it on and then it wont turn off unless I take the battery out.
I tried flashing with DC unlocker but my system wont detect it, I have installed the drivers provided at huawei site.
the phone was just a week old and am real pissed.
worst part, i did all that after reading this post
Anyone has any idea, how i can get it to work once again.

I didn't try this method and I'm only suggesting it because it sound like you almost bricked your phone.
You could try installing ClockworkMod recovery using fastboot (here is a guide for that androidforums.com/sonic-all-things-root/476263-root-guide.html just follow 1-9 ) and then flash the original rom for your phone (I found a list of stock roms here android.modaco.com/topic/350367-huawei-u8650 )
Dont forget to wipe data/cache before flashing the new rom ( this might be the cause for the state your phone is in now )
Update:
Got the drivers by installing hi space and letting it search for appropriate drivers. Worked real smooth.
Now Computer detects phone. But the instalador.bat keeps on searching for device :S
Stuck and stumped once again.
I want to believe but all I see is darkness... or a mildly lit lcd with greyness to be precise. thoughts, ideas anyone.
Thanks man. A ray of hope finally.
Only one problem.
My system won't detect the phone. When i plug it in via usb, it turns on. I mean all the buttons turn on, screen turns dark grey from dead black. But that is it. Computer wont detect it. I am running on windows 7.
Another system detected it which was running on XP but it wouldn't accept the drivers.
I've got another problem with camera after update to 6.2.A.1.100...
When I use Quick Shot/Launch camera - sometimes i get a message 'Error! Camera not available'
The problem is ONLY when I use Quick Shot/Launch on locked screen. When I normaly turn on camera, by using 'Camera' app from menu, everything is ok:
img19.imageshack.us/img19/5672/screenshot2013061315454.png
(copy and paste it to web browser)
I've tried repair phone by PCC but it does't fix my problem (or install fw Generic World or Central Europe).
On ICS, Quick Shot works perfect, but on 6.2.A.0.400 I've got another problem (black screen / camera FC)
Can you escalade my problem (try to several (maybe 5-6 times) Quick Shot/Launch the camera on locked screen and next lock screen)??
I tested Quick launch in Safe mode. And what?
Everything works perfect!
There must be a process which can't run the camera in quick launch (I have not installed anything apps using camera).
Which one?

I tried to clear data, reinstall software many times... anything doesn't fix my problem.
Finally I found the solution - I have installed JB MoonBreaker v3 (test) from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42565512&postcount=836
Everything was ok, so I thought 'I have a warranty to my phone so I have to back to stock firmware .100'
After flashing the firmware by flashtool, resetting to the factory defaults, problems came back
I'm sure that is not a hardware problem - only software must have a bug.

my last opinion for your issue maybe you can try to re-download ftf file fw 100, because on me camera work fine..

What do you mean, saying 'camera'?? When you choose 'Camera' from menu?? Or choosing Quick Launch on locked screen?
Camera - from menu always works fine for me, but Quick Launch - not always...
I downloaded .100 Generic World and problem still persists (earlier I had .100 CE).
Some days ago I installed a Resurrection Remix Rom (I actually don't know which one, sorry. I just know that it's got Lollipop) and when i went to the camera it said: <<Can't connect to camera>>
I still had warranty, so I installed the stock rom (I checked the camera and it still didn't work) and I sent the phone to the company. IMPORTANT NOTE: In the warranty ticket it said <<SOFTWARE ERROR>>
The only camera I can use is the "selfies" one
When I received it, the error was fixed, so I tried to install another ROM, so I installed CM12. But... I got the error AGAIN and I haven't got warranty anymore
That's what I tried
-Install Reset Camera and Camera (CMFix) (Camera CMFix didn't open and I had Restart Camera Installed :v)
-Checking if an app is having troubles with the camera
-Rebooting in safe mode
-Holding down the volume/power/back
-Clearing Data and Cache of the camera
-Removing my SD card
-Renaming the DCIM folder
- youtube. com/ watch?v=Fa9qggQJ990 (I can't even access to that menu ._.)
-Find “Use NuPlayer” and uncheck it & restart
-Using other camera apps
-Disabling the Google Camera and using the default one
-EDIT: I installed the Stock Rom with odin and did a factory reset. I even did a "system reset" with odin. AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK OMFG. Then I tried to update the camera firmware (youtube. com/ watch?v=Fa9qggQJ990) because I've got KK now, but the "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check" is disabled. I googled my camera Cam FW Ver and it's not old
Thank you, I'ts a really annoying error. My S3 is giving me too many troubles, I'm starting to hate it... But I can't buy a new one :crying:
OHMYGOD I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO FIX THAT ERROR HELP PLEASE
//reposting because nobody answered :v
LOGCAT:

If you're confident that its not a software issue, then go ahead and unroot your phone and show it once (sometimes the problem maybe that the camera slot just got loose). But 'can't connect to camera' is common from cm12 onwards. Maybe its a kernel problem. The fact that stock firmware also failed is something abnormal. Even in a few Touchwiz roms, kernel changes led to cameras not working.
Anyway, If you're still on stock rom do to the dialer and enter
*#7353# quick test
*#*#4636#*#* for test and information
*#34971539# for Camera Firmware Update and
*#7412365# Camera Firmware Menu

Hello guy's. i Have a problem (sorry my spanglish, i'm argentinian, I not speak english).
I have a motorola e 1st generation. With Lollipop 5.1.
Bootloader locked, and stock ROM. Before yesterday started "camera busy" with whatsapp, error when i open my camera app, I clean caché, stop process, reboot, wipe cache, wipe data, hard reset.... but camera not started��.
A first moment reboot in safe mode and i can take a photo and film.
I thought it was a conflict of app.
Yesterday i unlock the bootloader, install SU, and a optimized Stock ROM. But camera not started, "camera busy".
In safe mode: can take photo, but now not, not started.
Help me! i will set fire this.�� Thanks
Look like hardware malfunctioning get it to service center but first unroot and install stock recovery to get ur warranty back.
Feel free to tap on thanks.
SOLVED. Hardware malfunctioning
Hello! After trying all via firmware I decided to open and check the camera.(Warranty expired).
I removed the metal protection . pressed and returned to assemble everything.
the camera works again.
As not last. but already it is hardware problem.
Thanks.
ur welcome.
