I want to offer you a little fix for those of you who actually experience this problem. On some Samsung based ROMs, some people complain about not working cameras, no matter how often they tried to install a ROM after several wipes. This error may occur in case your camera uses a different firmware.
Most people however won´t experience this error.
I´ve created a little Fix which is actually very easy to apply as a flashable zip. It was intended to be used with my Samsung Galaxy S3 ROM, it may also work with every other Samsung based ROM
Here is the link: Camera Fix for Samsung based ROMs
Simply install this file through your custom recovery
Just in case this patch should not work for everyone, leave me a comment and I´ll see what I can do :angel:
What does it do?
Sent from my CM10.3 Galaxy S3.
This fix includes one missing binary which some specific cameras require in order to be able to be used.
If you don´t have any trouble starting the camera app, using the camera, you don´t need to flash this zip Even if everything works fine and you do install this fix, it wouldn´t harm your system

just flashed it, doesn`t work for me unfortunately. :crying: :crying: :crying:
i have this problem you told of since a very long time and i really can't get rid of it. makes me fckn sick. i could cry on and on.
what else is possible to do? every litte hint is very much appreciated.
There are more binaries available, the one I included is a more common one. Samsung uses 2 different cameras ( Sony or Samsung ).
Does your camera work 100% with a Stock ROM ? If so, have a closer look in /data/cfw and show me what you find inside ( eg. SlimISP_xx.bin ).
Flash a Stock Firmware, make sure to copy the file and add it here as a zip file. By installing custom ROMs, your cfw folder will be empty most the time if these files are not added by the ROM itself.

hi guys,
thx a lot for your words. here is what i've done:
i just flashed a stock rom and the camera works. then i installed cf root and root explorer but /data/cfw is an empty folder. so i can`t copy anything here.
with the custom rom and the cam not working i had a file like SlimlSp00.bin (or something similar) in this particular folder but not now.
what to do now or did i misunderstand something?

Just out of curiosity, did you try to remove this file ? Maybe your camera tries to load this binary though it´s not suitable for your model. You can try to create a different folder and first copy the found bin ( just to have a spare copy ), remove SlimlSpxxx out of your data/cfw folder.
Wipe your Dalvik Cache and restart the ROM

this idea didn't come up of course
but i just tested it. i already had my custom rom backup restored. i moved the SlimlSP_BH.bin to my ext sd, so that /data/cfw was empty, rebooted to recovery, wiped dalvik and it doesn't worked. second try i wiped cache and dalvik and it also doesn`t work.

If your camera doesn´t work with this binary, you may need another one..and there are lots of them to try but you have to chose one which is suitable for a Sony or a Samsung camera Well, there is a easier way out if you try to upgrade your camera firmware.
Before we proceed, I need some details first, which type of camera you have in order to pick up a suitable binary.
1) Dial *#34971539#
2) pick up this option: "Phone/Cam FW Check"
3) Show me what you see
4) Chose this option: "Phone/Cam FW Write"
A short explanation :
GDxxx = Sony
ZFxxx = Samsung

alright, i for sure will give you every information you need.
under "phone/cam fw ver check" i see
rear camera
cam fw ver: GDF
phone fw ver: GDFI02
front camera
cam&phone fw ver: S5K6A3
"Phone/Cam FW Write" isn't available in that form. options with "write" are only "phone to cam fw write (rear)" (but this is greyed out so i can't touch it) and "fw write count".

hi gorgtech, are you still here?
I´m still here but I´m not quite sure how to help you out. There is another way to enforce an upgrade of your Firmware but I´m not sure if this would work out for everyone.

Well it works perfectly for me, but @Moster2 says the md5 checksum is identical to the files already in place, but it works. I'm both happy but mildly confused! If you get the issue it's obviously with trying! You only need to flash the rom to remove it, so it's of no concern to try

You did before JB, but you're right, won't be in the market on JB.
OP - Do you know if it worked before it was handed down to you?
Perhaps a kernel update could fix this. You have Semaphore 2.4 and it's up to 2.6.6 for JB 4.1.2.
sorry for the delay, i was bussy, but now i'm here again jijiji.

Semaphore is the kernel you're using. I would read on flashing before getting into it though.
The process is quite simple, you download the kernel (zip), put it on your sd card, go in recovery and flash it.

If you factory reset, you'll need to flash another ROM (or reflash your current one). Keep in mind that by doing this, you'll lose all your apps and data. You can back them up with a app called Titanium Backup. When doing the restore though, only restore apps and data, NO system app.

My 4x have 3/4 months i have buying it new!"
if the kernel and mods are nothing then what ? xD especially kernel... kernel is everything. you know it could be the kernel also that caused u the problem. go read what kernel is. its the communication between software and hardware.
But ok you havent changed much
hi, just today i wanted to install social camera for 4.1.2 on my SP. it didnt work. and now my picture effect wont work either.
the details. i dont use any recovery neither CWM nor TWRP, so i manually copy all the files required manually. after it failed, i manually delete all the files again. but im beginning to wonder whether i accidentally delete other file while i was doing it.
any other ideas?

Did you use the correct port? with a quick search i found this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667341 . Try using this, and see if the problem is solved (if the effects are included in this one). If that doesn't help, then you can try to find the files from the stock SP firmwares, or re-flash a stock firmware to your device (worst case scenario).
Hope this helps

Hi Guys!
So I got my hands on an HTC One Mini 2 Demo Unit. Don't ask me how or why. (NOT STOLEN!)
I have tried to get rid of the Demo mode app but without success.
This is what I have done:
Unlocked the bootloader
Flashed TWRP
This is what I have tried to do to get rid of the demo mode:
Wiping and factory reset from TWRP. About 1 minute after the phone has booted it autoinstalls the Demo Mode again. Before it does all functions is available etc, after the demo mode is installed some options and functions is disabled.
Rooted, Installed Xposed and module BootManager to stop Demo Mode from booting, no success the demo app still starts upon boot
Tried to uninstall the app with various root uninstallers, they just fail.
Tried wiping ALL partitions etc from TWRP and restored an original HTC One Mini 2 system dump from another thread, same thing. After about one minute the Demo application autoinstalls itself and some functions is diabled and the annoying demo mode starts now and then, and blinkfeed is full of sh*t, demo contacts etc.
After I reboot all settings etc is restored to it's original state.
Any ideas how I can force the phone not to install the demo mode after reset?
Thanks!
Update: Flashing the Cyanogenmod firmware from another thread does not install the demo mode and the phone works as it should. I can call etc. But I only have 3G not 4G, don't know if it has to do with the sim or not (borrowed a nano-sim from a collegues iPhone 5s).
But anyhow I would like to have the HTC firmware instead, any ideas?
Maybe someone has another system dump/ruu/firmware or any of the sort I can try. Perhaps the firmware I tried in the other thread also was a demo-firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55107684&postcount=6)

As you probably figured it was an app in the ROM so installing a custom ROM or reverting back to stock will get rid of the problem (as you've already done it)

Thank you for your answer. I have however tried to restore the original ROM and another original dump from this forum but the app installs itself anyway. Any idea where I can get another clean ROM or system dump?

I'd unlock it first on htcdev and then root and flash a custom recovery.
Then you'd either flash back to stock or flash a custom ROM.
I hope this helps

As stated in the OP I have already unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery. CyanogenMod works but very buggy build, and either way I would like to have the original ROM or something close to it (Sense). Unfortunately there are no custom roms for this phone yet (other then CM). I have only found one original TWRP dump that I tried but the demo mode installed itself on that dump as well. I don't know why it installed itself on the original rom from this forum... Thanks

As stated in the OP I have already unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery. CyanogenMod works but very buggy build, and either way I would like to have the original ROM or something close to it (Sense). Unfortunately there are no custom roms for this phone yet (other then CM). I have only found one original TWRP dump that I tried but the demo mode installed itself on that dump as well. I don't know why it installed itself on the original rom from this forum... Thanks

Sorry, my bad.
My understanding is that this is an app so if it's not in the ROM then it cannot run.
There are a few other custom ROM but if you want stock follow this by the letter.

Those instructions and ROMs are for the HTC One Mini and not the HTC One Mini 2. Also as far as I know there is no way to get S-OFF on the HTC One Mini 2 yet.

Mini 2 works the very same way (obviously with its own ROM)
Do some digging

Thanks! I will give it a try, does not matter if I brick it anyways. My fiance dropped it and broke the glass so I will get a new demo unit.

Changed several LCDs on Minis but not on Mini 2 yet.
Btw how much are the demo ones?

Download stock rim flashable via twrp and open it using WinZip or winrar goto system/etc/ and delete '.demo' folder. Then repack and flash, problem solved.
no need for reading the whole thread. in twrp mount preload and by using the twrp file manager navigate to /preload and delete everything you can find inside! do a factory reset and flashing "org" firmware should be done...

I was going to do same thing, but how do you repack ? I mean I packed it with WinRAR, or 7Zip, but they compress the file, or maybe they don't pack it as TWRP format, so TWRP didn't recognise my file. Simply, how do you pack it ?

Open the zip file that you want to flash with any zip manager you like, you don't need to extract the files, just navigate to the folder and delete the .demo folder and it will automatically repack it. Close it and copy it to your phone and flash normally. It will work.
What's working: ril(calls, sms, mobile data for both SIMs), wifi, bluetooth, camera, torch, advanced power menu, hardware rendering, settings, Superuser.
This Cyanogenmod 11 is ported for Huawei Y560-U02, chipset sc7731g, platform sc8830.
This ROM is suitable for daily use.
Copy to microSD card Cyanogenmod 11 ROM. Reboot to recovery (TWRP).
Wipe (without rm-rf): dalvik cache, data, cache. Flash Rom through TWRP. After flashing - factory reset.
Reboot system, setup sim cards. Check APN. If it is not written, write it yourself. Done.

Sims stuck on 2G
For some reasons I can't enable 3G, I've entered my APN manually and edited the imei values to match the old ones, still stuck on 2G.
There used to be an option in the stock rom to choose which SIM gets the 3G and which sticks with 2G, didn't find it here.
Also I can't set the screen brightness to auto, is this happening with everyone or just me?

In our phones 3G(and lower) works only in first slot for sim card. Second slot uses only 2G(and lower).
In first slot set your sim card, that you need for 3G, and then write APN.
Same to do with your second slot and second sim card. Done.
Auto brightness doesn't work. I don't know why... I never used it, sorry...
Wifi hotspot?
Hello, thank you for your reply, but I'm yet to be able to enable 3G (2G works fine tho), and I've noticed that I can't enable the Wifi hotspot, as soon as the slider is enabled, it goes back off (pretty much like the 3G thing).
So I'm guessing there is something wrong with my setup? I used TWRP 2.8.7.0 but I don't see how it allows things to work and others not to, can it be the reason? And would flashing it again make it work (with the Gapps you provided, I'm having google store issues).
Thanks in advance.

Hello. This gapps from thread:[ROM][4.4.4][UNOFFICIAL][SM-G360H] CyanogenMod 11 for Samsung Galaxy Core Prime , there i have ported ROM. I don't like gapps and don't use it.
3G(in first slot) works perfectly for me, why you have issues?.. It's strange...
You can to use TWRP 3.0.2-0 from this thread, but i don't think that it will solve problem...
Backing up and trying again
I'm thankful for all of your hard work, I am backing up and will flash again (cm_11 and gapps) and will see what happens.
I'm interested if other roms for Samsung Core prime would work for this phone, since you ported the 4.4.4, can the 5.1.1 and / or other versions be ported here as well? I'd like to have the latest update possible for this phone.

Hello and thank you!
For 5.1.1 we haven't kernel... When i have ported ROM, also ported boot.img, replaced split_img(zImage, dtb, etc) and have changed some thing in ramdisk. This phone still haven't update to 5.0, that we will can to use boot.img for porting... So, we can't to port any ROM higher 4.4.4
All this is very sad...
Also,it's very important, need to have bigger knowledge and experience, than i have

What's the difference between the signed rom that's available for download and the one called Kanas, the one you said you are using right now ( I am not using it), which one is better, and why so?
Is there a change log?

I've flashed Kanas on my phone and back to the old one, it's a bit bigger and has an Alarm and calculator by default, but I still have the same hardware issues: No wifi hotspot, no 3G. So I'll stick to the TWRP backup that has all my settings and data for now, appreciate all the help.

Try this zip:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1MnFzuGjoAPSVJ4Q3dSMUViSHc/view?usp=sharing mod_AIO
Flash zip file via TWRP.
If this does not work, extract the zip file and replace in the lib folder all libcamera..... .so files with your stock files. This is a zip file for fixing Ril, Camera, Bluetooth ...
In the hw folder, libcamera.sc8830.so and libcamera2.sc8830.so files already is modified .
