Hey there, just needing some help on fixing my camera issue... All was perfectly fine front and rear camera until flashing my SM-G965F and installing the Magisk 17.2 ROOT (all was very successful and stable btw as I've done this many times on multiple devices) and when I went to use my camera it failed to work saying something about it couldn't start up the camera service :/... Is there a fix for this or would I just have to revert back to stock firmware of the phone in order to use it again?
Cheers.

I installed a FFC and I have ICS passion RC1 rom flashed on the phone. neither front or rear camera work. when i try to open up the camera app it just freezes up. im fixing to flash the cleanup patch, but i doubt that will fix it. do i need to flash the ffc face unlock mod to get it to work? any suggestions?
Just flashed the face unlock addon and it didnt fix it. i guess im gonna reinstall old camera and see if it does anything.
i reinstalled the old camera and it worked fine, but once i reinstalled the ffc, camera would stop working. could the camera be bad? any ideas?
It is very likely that your ffc is faulty, but to make sure I would reinstall it once more and try a different rom
Hello everyone
I upgraded my z ultra to Kitkat.
Everything is fine but the camera is NOT working.
Only the front camera is working and the rear makes the phone to become irresponsible.
I did a reset, I applied the firmware again but no luck

Please help me

Factory reset usually cures all problems

How did you upgrade exactly? My first flash was using a zip from recovery then flashing another fiel with Flashtool and that ended up with camera issues.
So after that I took the USA ftf ROM and flashed via Flashtool then flash the kernel from another thread and the supersu file via recovery and it worked perfectly so you could try a full flash again.
I do apologize for creating a new post for an older phone. A few months ago I purchased my phone used. I rooted it and installed SS 3.75 with no problem. Tried a few roms and settled on a KitKat rom from cyanogenmod, specifically cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2. It was the best for me for the camera working and for battery life. Using the cm updater I tried a couple of the newer releases, but the camera wouldn't work for any of them, but reflashing Slot 1 to 4.4.2, the camera would work without fail.
The problem started when I decided to flash it to the stock slot. It flashed with no issues, however the camera would always force close on start. I reactivated Slot 1 which has the same rom on it and the camera force closed there as well. Using the Droid Razr Utility, flashed the phone back to stock and rooted it again. After installing the rom back on slot 1, the camera still isn't working. It does, however, work on stock.
I'd wiped dalvik/cache several times since the camera quit working on the custom rom side, but other than that I'm at a loss. Even though the camera does work on the stock side, is it possible it could be a hardware problem?
Any help would be appreciated.

The stock version is JB 4.1.2 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US.
The fact that the camera only worked with one custom rom and stock is why I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue.
Thanks for taking your time to help me with this.

Hi welder73, yes I did try some other apps. I kept getting the message that the apps could not connect to the camera for all except Google Camera. That one would open take a couple of pictures and then fc everytime I used it. If I tried to open it again I would get the same message as the other camera apps. The only way to get Google Camera to work again would be to restart the phone. The camera cyanogenmod camera app would still fc everytime I opened.

Hmmmm,strange but since your camera works with stock rom it can't be hardware issue.
Try Snap Camera,I use it for years

Thank you both sd_shadow and welder73 for trying to help. A couple of days ago I screwed something up and couldn't get stock to boot, so I reflashed the stock image again and set up cm 11 on slot 1 again. For whatever reason the camera is now working on slot 1. I don't know why it's working now, but it is. Again thank you both so much.
I firstly installed cyangoenmod 12.1 after the camera has stopped working bug i installed cm camera fix from google play but that didn't worked and the camera that sometimes worked had now completely stopped. Now i flashed stock rom and the camera started working but when i flashed cm again it stopped again after sometime then i flashed back to stock but this time it didn't work some times it would say "Unknown error occured" or sometimes the errorcallback error. Now when i flashed MIUI the camera worked but after a snap it stopped and crashed and when i launched it again it sayed camera not responding. Please help me
1. It's probably caused by various hardware. In the worst case you've to go back to any JB-TW based ROM.
2. The fixes mostly work as follows: flash ROM, start camera once and take a photo, return to recovery and flash fix.
3. Try this camera, suitable till LP.

Which fix can you provide the link?
@twitwimp: there's no witchy fix. Take the one, advised&made for the ROM, you use.
@twitwimp: for CM13-based ROMs I found this fix. Worth to try.
Hi, I have a problem with my s6 edge. When I'm trying to use camera it doesn't start, just pop "unfortunatelly camera has stopped".
I had some problems with this phone, couldnt flash software, when finally flash newest software (6.x.x) I had a DRK problem, to fix it I flashed kernel Kernel_G925F_fix_DRK_error.tar, after that everything is working fine except camera. I tried to flash several stock roms, then custom (XtreStoLite) but camera is still not working. anyone know how to fix it?

Wipe data and cache of camera app then reboot.
