Strange softbricks, what to do? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys, my friend gives me a note 1 to repair. He said that a day, after updating the apps, they stop working : if he tried to open them, android was reporting that the app doesn't exist. That problem went further and started to be also with play store and gallery. After some days he got bootloop on samsung logo.
He doesn't remember but seems to be on last ICS STOCK ( never modded)

[Q] Camera Failed

Hi all, the camera on my Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 was working the first day I got it, I installed a few apps, and uninstalled a few as well. The second day I tried the camera, a 'warning - camera failed' window appeared. Since then I have tried a factory reset and I have also upgraded the firmware from eclair 2.1 to froyo 2.2 using Kies. My camera still does not work, can someone here advise me? I live in Trinidad in the Caribbean and the phone was purchased online and shipped to me. There is no Samsung office in Trinidad.
same thing happened to me... had to send the phone back for repair.
If you have rooted try this:

Delete/rename the old camera.apk from /system/app/ and put the hacked camera to same folder.

SGS camera issue

Hello everybody,
I've searched around this and other fora for my problem, but I found nothing. I bought my SGS about 2 months ago. It came with Android 2.1 installed and, through Kies, I updated it to 2.2 Froyo. After that, I decided to flash Darky's 9.2, as I heard a lot of good things about it.
After flashing everything was fine for a couple of days, 'till I started installing some camera-based apps, like Barcode Scanner and Google Goggles: I used them about three times, then they started force closing (Google Goggles) or showing a black screen instead of the camera view (Barcode Scanner). The situation grew worst and worst as my camera app started giving me a "Warning - Camera Failed" as soon as i switched to video mode. I read on Android Forums this problem could be caused by some of those camera-using apps, so I uninstalled both Barcode Scanner and Google Goggles, but nothing changed.
Other listed solutions were to disable lagfixes, change ROM/firmware, reset the phone, but none of this helped.
After experiencing those problem with Darky's 9.2, I upgraded to the new Darky's 9.3, but I still experienced the same damned issue. Thinking of some software issue with Darky's, I formatted the phone, disabled any lagfix I had and tried to flash Jimmy's/Hamster's v6.3. Well it's blazing fast, but I still have a similar problem: both camera and video mode work flawlessly, but both Barcode Scanner and Google Goggles force close, while Layar reports it is "unable to access camera hardware".
And now here I am, asking for your help. Thanks in advance.
Loads of posts on this subject on Darky posts suggest one you search them two you delete the rom and go back to stock .Then use another custom rom of your choice .

Thank you for your post, but, as I stated, I've already searched for my problem and no solution worked. Also, I've already flashed to another ROM (Darky's-> Hamster's).
I also have the problem with camera. Try to find the newest firmware and update it, maybe that will solve the problem.
When i updated fw, camera worked fine for a couple of hours, and then, iI don't know how, phone automatically switched to my old fw (about 1-2 hours after rebooting).
Then I have to restart the phone and camera works fine again with new fw.
It's so annoying, but i don't have the complete solution yet. Btw, i'm on Darkys 9.6.6.
Sounds like you're missing the stock email.apk

[CDMA][SPRINT] Every App Crashes

Some Info:
First things first: This is not my primary tablet anymore so If I can't get it working that is okay.
Second: I am trying to fix it for my parents or to sell it.
Third: It is the Sprint CDMA Version.
Okay so the problem with the tablet is when I turn on the device after flashing anything (whether it be the stock Gingerbread Rom via Odin/Heimdall or Cyanogenmod/AOKP) it works fine for a couple of moments... I set it up.. I open a couple of apps... and suddenly every single app starts to force close!!
On Stock it shows some apps like Swype and on ICS roms it shows some acore process.
I really want to know how to unbrick this and I can't send it in cause my warranty ended in February.
I'm also having a similar problem.
But I can't flash any ROM.
Even if I copy the zip file to the tab memory, after I reboot it, the file disappears. It always goes to Italian language. Can't remove the google account or the hotmail account.
I have tried to reset to factory defaults, etc and still the same...
Any ideas?
What android version your tablet have ?

Stock Gingerbread but the problem started when I had AOKP on it.
I tried flashing back to stock yesterday and now it's in a boot loop on the second Samsung logo after the Sprint logo.
The things that crash are android.process.acore, all gapps, Swype on stock, and Google Play.

[Q] Phone stock on Android updating screen

Good day all, first timer posting but have been reading the forms for a while now.
I have a major problem with my galaxy note GT- N7000. I have browed through the forms and have not seen a problem like mine. I really need help with my phone.
Problem:
The phone is rooted with paranoid android rom; current version PA_n7000-3.60. I have been using this for over a year with no problem, when all of a sudden the phone goes into android update screen and ever since been on that screen whatever I do. I never tried to update the rom or anything when this happened, just found it like that. All auto update are turned off.
I have tired installing the rom again using CWM and even tried installing the latest update still the problem persists.
I don’t want to format the phone because I have some very important information I will lose if I do. Cannot back up using CWM, getting error messages, cannot get access to phone via connection to my computer. I am in a jam and really need help with this.
Thanks.
