I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. Yesterday I flashed LineageOS 16 + GAPPS on my MI 8 which at that time was running MIUI 10 Global without any issues. However, after flashing Lineage my camera started acting up even though everything else worked like a charm. Everytime I tried to open my camera app, I would get a message saying "The camera device encountered a fatal error" which I could report or dismiss. Both resulted in the app crashing to my home screen after which I repeated this process 3 times, but the problem remained. Someone mentioned that the GCAM app that I was running was designed for Pixel phones and wouldn't work. I used TWRP to delete CameraGoogleLegacy which worked. I then installed a camera app but again the camera would give a black image (front and back). I then repeated this process, but I tried installing the Pixel Experience ROM this time instead of Lineage. Again everything worked flawlessly, except the camera.
Then someone asked if I flashed the correct global firmware & vendor before flashing Lineage. I wasn't too sure, so I decided to flash MIUI 10 global 10.2.3.0 again. Much to my surprise, the stock Xiaomi camera app now doesn't work anymore either, nor does the Gcam port I was just using yesterday on the same ROM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

Hey,
I own XT1068 device, currently running Minimal OS 3.0 ROM. Today, I noticed that my front camera is not working. I don't know when it stopped working but came to my notice only today. In stock camera app, if I change to front camera, I get an error message stating "Can't Connect to Camera". Tried different apps but either get the error message or the app force closes. I have even tried changing ROMs but all in vain. I feel it must be a hardware issue.
Any experience or troubleshooting tips?
Thanks.
Go to service center and get it replaced/repaired

Have u tried by flashing stock firmware?
I had this same problem a few months back while using Blisspop. I guess there were some conflicts (I suppose) so I Factory reset first (including internal storage) and flashed Tesla. Problem got fixed. Reflashed Blisspop to check and never had the problem again.
So my solution is factory reset and try and flash another ROM.
I have already written once about this problem, it worked for a while on the old rom (Mokee) but now the probblem appears again. When I open the camera app, rear camera works fine but as soon as I switch to front camera it crashes and says "Unfortunately, camera has stopped".
I tried doing a full wipe and reflashing the cm11 again, also tried another camera app but it still doesn't work.
If anyone has solved this problem, please help!
I'm running cm: 11-20160208-NIGHTLY-p880, kernel: 3.1.10-CM+
Hi,
I'm hoping someone out there can maybe help me with this please?
I have an Honor 9 Lite (LLD-L31C432) & recently the camera & flashlight stopped working. I've tried a number of other camera apps (the P20 ported camera, various google cams etc) but none work - all either open to a black screen & shut down immediately or else just say the app has crashed, etc.
The phone is bootloader unlocked and was on stock rom (LLD-GRP2-OVS-9.1.0.121). A few months ago I switched to Openkirin's Resurrection Remix OS 7.0.1 Beta 1 ROM & all worked ok (I had the stock camera, a Google Cam version and the P20 camera all working), but due to bluetooth problems I tried the Openkirin AOSP 10 Preview 1 ROM. Had a few problems with this one so tried to return to the stock ROM and had a lot of trouble getting it working again (bootloops, etc).
Eventually got the stock firmware back on but then noticed that the camera & flash no longer worked. Since then I've returned to both the Resurrection Remix ROM and the AOSP 10 Preview 1 (& Preview 2) ROMs but the problem still remains. Is it possible that I've broken the camera when fastboot flashing or using TWRP? I 'went around in circles' so much whilst trying to get back to stock that I can't remember ever step I tried, but it would seem a bit of a coincidence if the hardware failed just around the time of me having issues returning to stock ROM.
Also, If I was to relock the bootloader is it possible to tell that it has been unlocked in the past? It was purchased May 2018 so would still be in the 2yr warranty period but I wondered if Huawei could tell it had been unlocked in the past (I also read somewhere that the warranty is invalidated just by registering to get an unlock code, even if you never actually used it? - not sure how true this is!)
Cheers!

Hey guys,
So basically my camera stop working. Two days back update the phone to the latest firmware (Android 9) and security patch (March 1). Installed TWRP and rooted with magisk. So far everything was working fine. Today needed to restart the phone and after the restart my camera disappeared. In camera app I get just black screen without error. Same thing happen with third party app. Trying in safe mode, same results. In an app
iDevcheck under camera tab there is nothing, no information at all.
Ideas?
Bump,

If it was me, I would flash stock filmware with Odin to see if it resolves the issue, if it does not, it is probably a hardware issue, in my opinion, or maybe the camera ribbon cable has disconnected somehow.
''Can't turn on flashlight because the light is being used by another app''
This is what I discovered today. Still kinda think it's a software issue. At the moment don't have the chance to flash stock firmware.

Factory reset?
Factory reset did not helped either.
I guess something went wrong during the rooting process.
After updating to MIUI 13, I randomly have freezing issue (when scrolling tiktok, playing game, watching youtube, etc.) which sometimes fixes if I wait and the system shows notification of "The *app* stopped working" or something, and many other times I can only force reboot the phone (by holding the power botton until it reboots).
The issue never occured on MIUI 12, only on MIUI 13 from the first version untill now. So overtime I downgrade the ROM or change it to other variants such as global version (the issue also occurs in other country's variants of MIUI 13), hoping that the bug is fixed everytime there is a newer version of MIUI 13 of Indonesia but it's never been fixed.
I report many times through the feedback and service but they only suggest to keep the RAM and memory managed, and to charge the phone in time, which don't solve the issue since I have plenty of internal memory space available and use the phone the same when I'm on MIUI 12 (also how the hell do I charge it in time?!).
Does anyone have this issue as well? And how do you fix it other than to downgrade or to change to custom ROMs? Is it better to wait till MIUI 14 comes out than to downgrade it again? Sorry for my bad English.
i have the same issue though, I'm still hoping an update for this kinda issue because it's really annoying. I'm not sure for install custom rom will fix it, or it does.
I ever thought that downgrade is the only way to do, because when I use miui 12 I didn't get any of bugs and issues.

MIUI 13.0.8 just came out a few days ago for my region, but I won't upgrade it at least until MIUI 14 comes out.
Installing custom rom does fix it. I tried Pixel Experience once and never got the bug, but I didn't quite like the overall appereance so I decided to just downgrade it again to MIUI 12.5.5.
Yes. I have had this EXACT same issue, too. factory reset did not resolve. Redmi Note 9 Phone is all but useless now. Can use for a few minutes at a time, before it freezes. Miui 14 should be around the corner now, but I'm not hopeful.

MIUI 14 also does not resolve the issue for me, so downgrading is the only solution (not even MIUI 13 and 14 based custom rom fix it). But some people from RN10pro forum got it fixed after a few updates. Here are some suggestion I got from there:
1. Check if your SD card is dead, simply replace it or take it out.
2. Change your system to light mode.
3. Disable the memory extension.
Some people got it fixed after doing one of the above suggestions but not for me.
