"Camera has stopped" issue after latest update - is it possible to downgrade? - Sprint LG G4

"Camera has stopped" issue after latest update - is it possible to downgrade?
So last week I received an update through sprint for my G4 - to LS991ZVD. And now it seems that my rear camera won't work no matter what I do. I've tried a factory reset/clearing cache, etc - still the same problem. When I launch camera app it loads for a few seconds then says "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped". The app will still work if I quickly flip it to use the front camera. Should also note that my flashlight functionality also no longer works as well. I've tried swapping the camera and flash/back plate with my wife's working G4 components and still get the same problem so I'm assuming that this is a software related problem or something horribly wrong with the motherboard. Anyways I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's possible to downgrade my firmware with this phone (i'm gettin conflicting reports) - or install cyanogenmod or another rom on it (seems unlikely because I hear the bootloader is locked?). Would be much appreciated. Thanks all!

First i dont want to come off as sounding like a asshole.
Seeing as im on zv6. I havnt and am not going to look for a zvb zvc or zvd tot file.
This post is for all having issue. Find whatever tot of the current firmware ure on and tr reflashing with lg flashtool or lgup.
I had this happen on my g2 from lg it had corrupted. And had to reflash the firmware. And it fixed it

I've been searching for ZVD TOT but no luck. I guess I'll keep waiting till one is released no camera in the meantime which sucks.

[Q]Camera force close after update

Hello guys, i just receieved my phone, it is a GT-I9220_xx_EUR.
It came with 2.3.5(KH2, i think it was a test version). I flashed stock XXLC1 with odin, but after this update the camera doesn't work anymore.I get a camera error, and it closes.
If i try with 3rd party app, like 360camera, i can take pictures.

Did you try a factory reset? It may do the trick!
Not just one,it didn't do the trick.
I even downgraded to 2.3.5, no luck.
i found out my note it's a test version(that's why it came with 2.3.5 KH2- i never heard of this fw). i will look upon my sources, maybe i'll find the original software.

If that's true then it's a complicated case.
Hope you'll find a way to deal with this bro, good luck!
Another strange issue,on service mode camera works just fine.When i try to use the camera.apk, the screen gets black and unresponsive....
360camera works great,but i can't record videos.any other camera app, that acces directly the apk gets the same result...freezing screen..

[Q] Random lines through screen after update to v20

So i just updated to V20 Europe Open following this tutorial and the update seemed to go through fine, rebooted, and new firmware installed. After finally setting up the phone as i like, i let it sit to synchronize all my contacts and what not. When i pushed the power button to wake up the phone, there were these random lines over the entire screen, look like blinds.
When i do a battery pull or reboot its back to normal, but everyime i let the phone sit for a couple of minutes and then wake it up, i get the same screen..
Ive attached two screen shots
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.
I had the exact same problem, I didn't find any solution so I had to revert back to v10.
Which v20 did you install? The Portuguese one?

Use the same method that you use to roll back (LGFlash Tool) and install Euro_open V20A.
There is no difference between the euro and PT.

I tried the HK version as well, still having the issue. Do i just need to roll back to V10? Is it a software issue? How come very few people have it if all the versions are the same..?

Might just be a bad flash.
By flashing with LGFlash Tool you don't need to roll back.
Just make sure that you have official firmware, don't use leaked.
To be a hardware problem, you should have it in ICS too...

I tried 3 different routes to get V20A Euro installed, all the installs were successful but the screen issue is still there:
1. LG Flash Tool
2. KDZ_FW_UPD
3. Using LGKDZ hack and LG PC Suite
All of these successfully got V20A installed, but none solved the lines on the screen. I made sure to wipe before and after each install..
Any other ideas?
Perhaps screen is faulty ?

I had no issues when on V10H, and nothing happened to the phone during the upgrade, just remained on my desk. When i revert back to V10H i have no issues also. I tried LGFlashTool to roll back to V10H and now have LG PC Suite find and upgrade the phone on its own, will see if that makes a difference...
Thanks
I see...I ll inform a member in another forum whereas he had the same issue.

If after official upgrade doesn't work, I recommend you to take it to LG Service.

Same problem here. Not in such scale but I think it is the same. I had just bought the phone and when I did the update from the official site of LG te problem occured. I have sent the phone to service and I am waiting for it. Does anybody know if that phone has an international DOA??
Went to service, came back with the same problem. They had to replace it with a new one. I want risk to update again. Will stick with 4.0.
I just got a similar problem but much worse seen in the photo below attached my phone was working for a few weeks before this problem came as i was sat reading it, it just appeared while the screen was on. it also appears at boot and in cwm does this happen for you guys coz i think it's more a hardware problem for me.
Not sure what is causing it, but i went to 4 different repair stores, and none of them could figure it out. I sent it in for warranty, will report back what happens..
I had the same problem on my screen all the time , It's gone now for some reason, only thing i did is relocked the bootloader and unlocked it again since then it been running without any problems for almost a month now.
I remember i used the old method to unlock the bootloader , relocked it and i ran stock v20a(with locked bootloader) for like a month without any problems so i decided to try again , i used the official lg unlock method and now even on other roms it seems fine.
This bug is really annoying though hope ya'll get to fix it .
Try download an other v20 firmware, if that doesnt work, i can recommend superxe rom, its realy fast and stable.

I also think that it is a software problem because mine with the original Poland Rom 4.0 worked just fine.After one day of use I decided to upgrade to 4.1 from the original site of LG in Greece.this caused the problem.I believe that the flash caused some malfunction to the gpu.My cousin has the same exact phone for a year now but has never that problem.Maybe LG should give it a look because it seems pretty serious.

I had the same problem with V20A! but now I installed the CM10.1 nightly and also with the cyanogenmod appeared the same problem!! is a hardware problem? :crying: how can I fix?? Help me!! :crying:

HELP - phone constantly gives camera errors, unable to make phone calls,

Hi guys,
few days ago I bought a used T-Mobile LG G4, It was running the O sofware so I upgrade to N and then to P(rooted thru TWRP). Phone was working great for 3 days(including camera and calls), when all of a sudden it started to give me errors regarding the camera, even when I was not even trying to use the camera. "Unfortunately the camera has stopped working" . I tried to do a factory reset first, which did not solve the issue, the camera error already showed up when the phone came back on in the LG setup.
It also does not allow me to make phone calls, it hangs when I try to press the green call button, and after 5 minutes the phone I was trying to call started to ring, but my LG G4 was still frozen. I also noticed the the boot up time is very slow all of a sudden, stuck on the LG G4 screen for a long time.
Also took the phone apart and re-seated the mainboard connector and camera connector. And tried a different battery and removing the SD-card.
I have tried to do a full wipe (including data, dalvik, cache, and internal) and then reflashed the "LG-G4-H811-20p-stock-rooted" software. Still the same issues. The phone is pretty much useless.
Any help would be gladly appreciated, as I really cant afford another phone at the moment.

thanks for your reply, I never used LGUP, only rooted/unlock bootloader thru terminal. Then, copied roms onto SD-card and flash with TWRP.
I dont know what LGUP is or what the difference is between that and doing it thru TWRP. This is my first LG, before this only had Samsung's

Stock official lg formware is KDZ so i suggest to download 20p .kdz along with LGUP program to flash stock formware when using the refurbished option it wipes all partitions. Making it a clean install. I think thays the problem when updating thru twrp from20i to 20o it gave camera amd sound bugs..
Seaech for both20p kdz and LGUP.

phone crashing issue

So, question.... This might not be a Rom issue. But I figured I would ask. Has anyone been having issues of the phone crashing and completely shutting down when you open the camera app.... Or any camera app? I've found two ways to get the phone back on after this happens. You can pull the battery and restart... Or plug the phone into any charger and after a second it will show you the battery w lightning bolt.... Then show its charging normally with the phone off... Then you can reboot.
Now things to point out.... It doesn't matter if the battery is at 96%....or 46%.....this still happens. Also, I just bought a brand new battery for the phone maybe a month ago, and it's still doing the same thing....
Another also.... I kept thinking this was a hardware issue.... And had tmobile replace the phone.... This is my 4th phone... And they've all been doing the same things.
I also thought this could have been a conflicting app issue. So I uninstalled almost everything that I don't use and still have been having the same problem..... So.... Anyone? Any thoughts? Thanks
My phone is rooted , running [ROM] Maximum OvrDriVE 6.0.1 MM V3.2 (8/24/16) [910T/910W8/910T3] Running update 3.5

For folks to assist, you will need to provide basic info like rooted or no what firmware are you on, what model of note 4 etc....
I have the exact same problem with OP and will also have chance of crashing if you open Facebook or FB Messenger or Google Chrome. Sometimes it will die instantly around 80% where once die on 90%+ when trying to take a picture using stock camera apps. When it die you see a quick less-than-second horizontal matrix line.
Some detail of my current phone is as below:
Model: SM-N910T3
Android OS: 6.0.1
Baseband: N910T3UVU3EPJ2
Kernel: 3.10.40-9385989 ; [email protected] #1 ; Wed Oct 12 15:31:09 KST 2016
Build No.: MMB29M.N910T3UVU3EPJ2
Root Status: None (Never rooted)
Firmware: Stock ROM (Never flashed Custom ROM, flashed latest Stock ROM once, success)
The problem occur when I get OTA update from LL to MM. Few months later update again through OTA to current firmware but problem still occur. Then tried factory reset but didn't solve the problem. I thought of bad update download with OTA, so I download the latest firmware on SamMobile and flash it with Odin3.11.1 hoping will fix the problem. It didn't fix the problem, but I seen some new apps shown up as below:
- Android System WebView
- Beaming Service for Samsung
- ANT Radio Service
- ANT+ Plugins Service
- Briefing for Samsung (Update) <--- Exact apps name shown in Google Play
None of these apps were what I'm aware of even after I did the latest OTA updates. I hope anyone can help troubleshooting this issue as this is really annoying and now I have to always carry a power bank with me. For now I will try to re-download the firmware again and see if that will help although I doubt it will. Many thanks in advance!

You can try..
Odin will either let you or not!
I find it hard to mess up the device, I've tried lol...
But that's just me!!!
It's yours to risk...
I'm currently on the T2 firmware!
After update to EPJ2, my Note is crashing too. Seems like there is a heekup in a processing power/ram. It lags for a moment and shuts down. So far this happened with Camera app, Chrome, Facebook, and a few other apps. Sometimes I would get "emmc read fail" or something along the lines and the phone would not boot. The only thing that seems to be MORE stable is Dirty Unicorns ROM, anything based of the STOCK or any Samsung ROM crashing.
Same issue: Note 4 restarts itself, many times.
This is my first post. I have the same problem with my Note 4: Bought it new a month ago (via eBay with 30 days warranty, then cannot return or exchange). The phone restarts itself many times, especially when I use the camera. A friend suggested me to download the stock ROM (N910TUVU2EPJ2) and use ODIN. Now, as long as I slow a bit, pressing and wait then the phone is okay. If I press anything fast, many times, then it restarts itself again. Seems like the RAM is dead. I have read somewhere that we can downgrade from N910TUVU2EPJ2 (version 6.0.1) to N910TUVU2DOK2 (version 5.0.1) and it runs smoother. Anyone has any idea, please help. If downgrading to the DOK2 can solve the problem, please let me know. Thank you for this great forum.

I'm on pe3 is that a good one I'm a noob on this form

Unique Soft Brick??? Any ideas?

I purchased the H811 off ebay last week because I am finally sick of my old Note 5 with no service at home. The G4 did great until I decided to flash it. The phone was on H81120i.
No big deal unlocking bootloader or installing TWRP. I flashed Lineage OS 14.1. About a minute after booting up, the phone got the error Camera stopped working. After checking more stuff on the device, nothing seems to work - i.e. - The accelerometer, speakers, microphone, flashlight, etc are dead. I installed a sensor test app and it doesn't detect any of the sensors.
After that, I downloaded LGUP and the stock KDZ file to flash back to phone hoping to fix it. Unfortunately, LGUP doesn't recognize the phone. It says unknown model but shows the com port, h81120i on the right hand side. I also tried LG FlashTool to see if that would work but it crashes about 26% into the it.
I have searched the forums up and down and have googled the crap out of this. I did find a thread from last month with a very similar issue a moment ago, https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/help/camera-stopped-audio-flashing-lg-g4-t3620516, and perhaps I should post in that thread, but my issue is that LG Bridge gives me an error stating it can't detect the software version.
If I were using Samsung, I don't think I would have this problem because I have unbricked several Samsung devices. The issue here is I am new to LG and have no idea if files are corrupt, if hardware was screwed, or what the situation is. I would hate to think that it was a $100 wasted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did find a thread from last month with a very similar issue a moment ago, https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/help/camera-stopped-audio-flashing-lg-g4-t3620516, and perhaps I should post in that thread, but my issue is that LG Bridge gives me an error stating it can't detect the software version.
If I were using Samsung, I don't think I would have this problem because I have unbricked several Samsung devices. The issue here is I am new to LG and have no idea if files are corrupt, if hardware was screwed, or what the situation is. I would hate to think that it was a $100 wasted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

maybe you got a frankenphone .. a supposely H811 and its not .. why not open it and see the actual motherboard and see wich variant you really have .seems like its not a h811 or try uppercut LGUP. see what it finds and downloads.

Uppercut found nothing... I opened the phone and found this though... EAX6658501_H810_MAIN_1.0
Of course, the tag on the inside of battery compartment says H811 with a date of 02/2016. Would it be a refurb or what? Anyway, I may be on the right track now.

maybe yes .. cover h811 and so software easy to edit.. but the only way is that take the motherboard and read the variant.
h810 is att?
I checked out the AT&T forum and found nothing other than stock that, obvious under my current situation, I can't flash because lgup with uppercut nor lg flash tools can flash.
LGUP gives an error code in the log file. PACKET_ERROR code = 1460
The phone internet still works. It has downloaded an update from t-mobile that's 460+MB that I can't install because I'm rooted with TWRP. Is it possible to update the phone with adb and TWRP? If I could find stock recovery, I would flash that and using autoprime's bootloader flash it back, even remove root if the update may revive the device.
After a week, a thought occurred to me and i tried it. I backed up a working h811 ( minus efs partition) with twrp with 20o firmware to an sd card then restored that version to this phone. I immediately wiped and flashed G4 20o with root zip file. It unbricked the phone and I'm currently using it.
Thanks raptorddd for replying and helping me. It seems that somewhere in the flash process something was corrupted and this fixed it.

youre welcomed but then phone is H811? or H810 i know that what ever the motherboard says thats your variant. am glad you have back up and running. :good:
It is crazy because the board said 810 but it had h81120i official when i got it. It worked but i have always used custom roms. Oh well, I'm going to stay stock with root. Just need to debloat now.
