[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.
how can i solve this?

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] Camera is unavailable

Hi there!
I have one issue with my XZ. Sometimes, when I launch camera app, I have an error: Camera is unavailable. Whan can I do?
Greetings!

Someone?

No one have the same issue - which means yours might be a faulty unit and the camera module fails to activate at times.
Suggest you bring it into the nearest Sony service center for a check.

Can happen if the camera doesn't get released after prior use.
Do you use any other app to take pictures? Directly from FB app? Different camera app?
If nothing holds true you may "repair" your phone by completely reflashing it using Sony PC Companion software.

Hi!
It happen when camera is doesn't use for a while. I don't know. How often we use camera? When I need to take a photo, Im opening camera app, and I take an error. Then I turn off my phone, turn it on back, and camera works again. I take a few photos, click back button (back arrow), and if I want to take photo in future, I can't.
Bootloader is unlocked, so bring phone to Sony is rather poor idea. Maybe new firmawe, flashed by flashtool will solve my issue?

Have you tried deleting data of the camera app?

It happens with the stock camera app only? Can you try with a third party camera app?

All camera apps not working.

Try flashing a rom or reflashing the fw back to stock... If that dont work, you may have to take it back to Sony

Are you rooted? Did you delete any system files??
All you can do is repair your phone with pc companion,if nothing changed than to service.

Ok, so I will flash tomorow new FTF file, but now I have orginal Russian FTF firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167096) I will try French or UK. Earlier I had polish branded firmware, but I had a bootloop so I had to flash russian FTF. Maybe it's the problem?
Tell me, if it will not resolve of my problem, I will relock bootloader, and Sony will recognize the guarantee? Can I unlock bootloader after?

Camera not Working

Hello guys.
I changed my battery, and after that, unlocked the phone on the Motorola Website.
Everything alright, except my back camera is not working =\
Already opened the phone to see if the camera cable was untied, but was connected.
Made factory reset on fastboot, reinstaled ROM via RSD, and nothing worked =\
Anyone got any solution?

Strong bump.
No answers? :/

I think u have some bad luck. Had this on one of my Razr I's. It could be the camera module that is faulty, but the mainboard can also be damaged. In my case the mainboard was bad and didn't work with a working camera module. Got spares so could try things.
U already have tried new software, so it couldn't be that.

Sorry for my noob feeling, but: when i install CM11 or the original rom, does all the drivers/files be reinstalled?
Could anyone tell which files are from them?

Yes, every single file, driver and firmware we can flash and have access to will be flashed when instaling the stock or CM rom. The stock rom even provides some boot firmware files.

Htc one (m7) blur camera

Hi, I hope I'm posting this question in the right place because I'm new here and I need assistance, I bought a fairly used HTC one m7 with a faulty camera that doesn't work but I got it fixed at a local repairer, after the fix, I updated my os from android 4.3 to the latest available 5.0.2 RUU from HTC website, immediately after the update, I noticed my camera focus doesn't work, all images in the camera looks blur except if brought to just few centimetres away from it, the icon for the front camera is missing, it told me to swipe the screen to swap cameras which technically did nothing, I tried downloading a third party selfie app and it goes to the back camera by default, I managed to downgrade the phone's OS even below the one it came with to 4.1.2 but still no avail, I'm pretty sure it's no hardware problem because I used the camera perfectly few hours before the update, the preloaded OS was a customized version I guess because I could unlock the phone just by swiping the HTC logo and it came with this "soul tweaks" preinstalled.

I had the same problem...I think It has Something to do with the Stock ROM...Try Installing a Custom ROM...***Worked for me***

Sorry it took me so long to reply although faced some serious flashing issues, ur suggestion worked like charm bro, after flashing viperone one rom, I got my camera working 100% , unfortunately I had to go back to stock because I faced a lot of bug issues on viper one. I downgraded my phone too low (4.3) and also faced some Chinese character issues from my network provider so I wanted upgrading it back to (5.0.2 or 4.4.3) but I got error 155 using RUU or failed using fastboot, but any ways, thanks for your help, I appreciate

Hi everyone, i had the same problem with camera as u

The result window appear and disappear immediately so i can't copy the code to get unlock.bin file
So do u know the method to stop the window for me to copy the code. So many thanks.
