I searched. I asked for help. I did everything that everyone advised me to do. Re-flashed ROM, re-flashed radio, flashed different radios, I even flashed a new ROM. Still, I am having camera issues. It takes pictures fine, but when I try to video record, it records, but when it plays back I don't get a picture, just a blank screen. Can anyone suggest anything I have not mentioned?! ( The video recorder did work when I bought the phone. )
I would flash back the original ROM and see if it works then, but this issue should be brought up in the correct forum under ROM Development under the appropriate ROM to get the answer.

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

So my camera force close every time I try to use it..
So far I've tried different roms... like miui, cm7(used cm roms for a while), I've tried pure something roms, blandroid.. camera never worked.. tried one or two kernels too to no avail..
So I've reflashed everything to stock.. I mean STOCK lol.. still force closing..
anything else I might not know to try? Or I can assume it's an hardware issue?
I guess the reps at mobile store will throw a fit once they see the unlocked padlock lol if I ask for some help..
mmm.. i am having the same prob here....
i thought it is because of the ROM...mmm. i have changed to basically All the latest ROMs....failed to make the camera working.
MAYBE it is a hardware issue. My N1 fell from my bed. few times. Im not so sure it was before or after.
FOUND the solution to Camera Not working Nexus One.
You have to go back to Stock ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717870&highlight=frf91
1. Go back to Stock RoM
2. Then flash back to your FAV ROM - Mine is Miui AU..
not really the solution....
after 24 hours of working hard..
i failed!
Camera WORKING - when using stock ROM
Camera NOT working - when rooted and custom ROM.
What should i do ?
sadly I've already tried going back to stock.. did not work.. got some suggestions on another forum to try an clear the thumbnails and camera cache..
The Camera cache is stored under sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris.media...
Thumbnails are under sdcard/DCIM/thumbnails...
I had this issue within a month of upgrading to 2.2.3 on a stock Nexus One, and the fix for me was to re-format my SD card. I copied everything off to a PC, formatted and copied everything back and now the camera is working as intended. Hope this helps!

i tried already....not working...
i changed the Card, it works..!!
and it does nt again...
What radio you on? Try radio 5.0.8 if you're not already on it
Same problem here after flashing CM7 kernel on stock ROM. Did you fix it? Please help.
Did someone solve this problem? I have the same since yesterday (?!?) when i made the 2.3.4 update....
Maybe this problem is older in my n1, but i cant exactly say. I tried starting the camera app when sd-card is unmounted -> no effect, force close....
Actually... had a friend have the same issue. Though... it may or may not be the same as your issue. Brought it to an after service center near us and they cracked it open. They said there was a cable loose inside going to the board with the camera on it that was causing the issue. They put it back together and it has been working fine ever since. I am not exactly sure how a cable was loose inside where it shouldn't ever be moving... but it definitely fixed the problem. Hopefully you guys don't have the same problem.
Prior to going to the service center I backed up and flashed back to stock. Still had the same problem... though I seem to remember the message being odd when trying to use the camera. Was a while back so... >_< sorry.
Hm, i got this error in logcat:
V/CameraHolder( 1122): open camera 0
E/mm-camera( 75): main: MSM_CAM_IOCTL_REGISTER_PMEM ioctl failed for MSM_PMEM_AF type. ioctl return value is -1
E/mm-camera( 75): isp3a_init_ctrl failed

Ok, i get interesting information within my tests:
camera is ok! works with CM7 and this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061648
But why not with my stock ROM?
I updated hboot/radio for a test -> No camera
Changed kernel (CM-Kernel, etc.) -> No camera
What else is the problem? I actually love my system and when i flash stock GRJ22 over it, camera works, but alle sd-apps are not avaiable and the memory ist nearly full.
Hi
I read though thousends of posts by now but I couldn't find a solution for my pronlem
My camera isn't working any more
I was using the 4.8 version of Sentinel rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252953). There everything was fine. Than I flashed the update to 5.0 version of this rom and since than my camera is dead. I just get a black screen when I start it.*I tryed a lot to get it back working but nothing has been working so far.*I tryed the reflash sentinel, I flash other cams I flash other roms. On one of the other roms the phone said: "Can't connect to camera" or something like that. So I restored sentinel because nothing worked.
I always cleaned the memory of the phone (wipe cache and so on) befor each try.
Now I have no idea what to do.
Hope someone got a solution for me
Hi guys,
this is gonna be a long story, but I'm at end of my wits.
So my phone (HTC One M7_UL Vodafone DE) got water damaged (it was submerged in water for at least a minute). I tested it again last weekend and it seemed to work in terms of hardware. I managed to test the speakers, the charge jack, the headphones jack, wifi, gsm, both cameras, etc. it all seems to work fine, and it's not about that anyways. I kept getting a "com.htc.htcdialer" issue, saying the process had unexpectedly crashed and then a few minutes later the phone would reboot. I tried finding out what this error was and how to fix it but I couldnt find anything. Also its weird that I got a software error.
So I unlocked the bootloader (via htcdev.com), flashed the latest recovery (I tried both cwm and twrp), which was also fine. I managed to install the latest Android Revolutions HD (53.0) and thats where the problems started again: I would get to the lock screen but as soon as I would swipe up to unlock it I would the white screen with the HTC letters on it. I tried wiiping all the cache and partitions i could find and reinstalled that rom, but the problem remained the same. Tried a different recovery (twrp) repeated all the steps and still no more luck than before.
So I decided to give a different rom a try and just flashed the latest stable cyanogenmod rom on it, and that boots fine, but eventually without error message reboots as well.
Then I tried flashing the latest viper rom, but there I have the same issue as at the beginning, that I get as far as the lock screen and then it just wont let me unlock it.
And that's where Im at the end of my wits. I cant imagine its a hardware related issue, but i might be wrong.
Ideally I would love to get my hands on a nandroid backup to restore the phone to stock, a stock rom ruu, but I cant find any of those either.
I'd really appreciate your help.
Let me know if you need specific details of installations, versions, decide numbers, etc
Hello,
I have a motorola G6 that after bad root get stuck on bootloop.
I flash the phone with two roms but the phone after flash dont have sound during calls, the earpice dont work even in loudspeaker, but the phone rings when is receving calls.
anyone already have this problem?

This question is probably in the wrong section but anyway...I did. I never checked the phone prior to rooting so I'm not sure if a "bad root" was the cause or not. However, I experienced the exact same problem as you. I was originally on build OPS27.82-19-4 so I reflashed stock OPS27.82-19-4 as described here. But I still had the same problem. On a whim I randomly flashed build OPS27.82-19-4 following the same instructions. The phone has been working great ever since (I have it rooted, xposed. etc...). Not sure why there was a problem, or if reflashing the newer build "fixed" it or not...but as I said, all is good now. FWIW, when I check the sim status in settings>about phone, the network section is blank. It was blank when I had problems too.
Perhaps this will help you..
PS When I reflashed the firmware, the phone would boot into fastboot mode, then when I selected "Start" it would boot to the OS. If you run into that, here is how it was fixed. See posts 5, 6, 7, & 8.
Good luck!
I had a similar problem, I did the root, TWRP, I ended up giving up and flash again on the stock of the bike G6 Play (Brazil) available here in XDA, to my surprise, he made and received calls normally, the speaker for music and connections of other applications (Whatsapp, Messenger, Hangouts, etc.), but it did not work for the rom dialer.
I thought I had a problem, it was when a system update appeared, I installed it and it worked again.
I figured it was some rom bug I installed.
Tanks for the help.
I solved the problem flashing the phone with flashrom.bat instead of put the comand one by one.

That's because a custom rom or GSI does not have all the necessary files. 99.9% of the time, flashing stock will fix a problem.
