Black Screen Camera Issue - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got my HTC One for AT&T two weeks ago,
rooted and installed the following
-TWRP
-SuperSU
-bulletproof Kernel/ROM
Whenever I start the camera application, the whole screen is black and the on screen buttons are greyed out.
I've tried to install a stock boot.img and reinstall the Bulletproof Kernel and the same happens.
I've tried the solutions listed on the thread to delete 3 specific files in the zip with no avail. The latest version, 1.10 is supposed to address the camera issue with a camera fix, but I tried it and its still the same.
Reference threads:
Guide I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273376
Bulletproof thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233665
Can anyone help please?

You're on the stock ROM?
If so, you don't need the camera fix, you need the original files. If you have a backup, restore /system and you should be good to go.

Don't have a backup, and when I'm on the stock ROM, it says "Unable to start the camera" and when I'm on Bulletproof Kernal, the camera is all blacked.
Isn't the original files the stock boot.img?
P.S. Sorry, new to this.

Try using a different kernal it might fix the problem, worked for me.

I can't put my kernel inside my HTC One's storage because it says Cannot copy item. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected. I just factory resetted and the camera problem is still present.

Bulletproof on 4.1.2 camera issue!!!!
i am running into this exact same issue, black camera screen of death
i've tried installing all bulletproof kernals from 1.0 to 2.1
(compatable with my AT&T, android 4.1.2, sense 5)
HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY INSTALL THIS BULLETPROOF
KERNAL ON AT&T, android 4.1..2
???
if you have, please help.
which version of the kernel did you install?
what settings did you use?
maybe i'm doing something wrong, i'm somewhat new to rooting,
before i install a "new" kernel, do i have to do anything so that it overwrites the previous properly?
thanks
AJ

As Flar2 said you don't need the camera fix on stock, reflash Bulletproof and uncheck the option to apply the camera fix.

Ok, thanks, i will give it a shot.
Noob question, if im reflashing a kernel,
(Using TRWP)
Do i have to do anything special? Or will these kernels automatically overwrite?
Thanks!

Your radio isn't correct for the ROM you're using, or your kernel isn't correct for the camera app you're using.

Its not hardware
The Problem is not HARDWARE RELATED. i had the exact same problem and suffered for almost a month. there is NO definitive answer on google. ive searched and searched. ive done EVERYTHING from reseating the memory card to flashing weird kernels to applying pressure on the camera. BUT in the end the solution was very easy.
Solution : REVERT YOUR FIRMWARE TO FRF91. TOTAL STOCK and UNROOTED. it installs an old radio version and im almost certain the problem was due to the Radio version . i used AMON RA's latest recovery to do so. wipe EVERYTHING 3 times. and flash the zip. also.. you need to be rooted at first to install the recovery from terminal. if you're new to this recovery/flashing roms.. google it. its fairly simple.
this worked for me miraculously and i do hope it works for you all .
happy to help.

Android Revolution HD 1.0.2

Hi
I´m running Android Revolution HD 1.0.2 ROM, and it really fast and cool.
But... i have an issue with the videorecorder. It starts recording about 20 - 40 seconds after i hit the start button...
Anyone else having this bug?
Hi, i don't have that issu and i'm with the same Rom. I read somewhere in the original post of Android Revolution HD 1.0.2 ROM that somebody have the same issu. Just read more careful and you will find it .
Haven´t noticed any bug yet on mine
Hi,
I have s-off and clockworkmod installed on IS (bell). Android version 2.2.1, baseband version 20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.17_M, software number 1.37.666.3. Now what I would like to know is what are my next steps for installing ext4 1.0.6 mod, and a radio and Revolution HD. I read that the radio I install should match my version, is this correct? Or do I use Radio_20.2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M? If not where can I find my version. Also should I stay on froyo or upgrade to gingerbread?
Any help is greatly appreciated....
Mikael have you tried to wipe your data? Also the dalvik cache should be cleaned (advanced in cwm).
This should do the trick
hi, you already try new unity v2 kernel?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Tapatalk
Running the same as you and camera works fine, tho video doesnt start instantly for me either. but its not 20-40 secs, mine starts up at about 3-5 seconds after button push.
maybe a bit buggy cause of an upgrade from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 maybe and it conflicts somewhere, is it the stock camera/camcorder or did u install Android_Revolution_HD_Sense_3.0_Camera_5.1.x_v.0.12. Maybe if its stock install that and see how it performs.
Hmm, I'm running 1.0.1 with no problems. Video recording takes exactly as long as it did with the stock Rom, 2-5 seconds.
Have you tried a different SD card? Sounds to me like the SD card speed isn't fast enough. HTC themselves cites the SD card as the problem for 'photo taking delays' and 'choppy video, video record delays.'
Again, I'm on 1.0.1 with a full wipe beforehand and dalvik wipe so its difficult for me to say.

I'd have to say mine is about the same, no issues with video. But I was getting a delay in messages as far as sending/receiving goes. I would probably assume I should reflash my radio after switching between a few roms lately
Most likely It's the radio.

thnx for reading and hope an answer
[I do not know how to speak english or write it correctly, sorry for any incovenience]
It could be many things bud, need more info. How old is your phone? What kernal are you using? When did you last update your phone? What radio are you using? Have you dropped your phone? Did your phone get wet? Also your phone company may be doing work on cell towers have you tried calling them about the issue? Things like that, we need to know if we are going to be able to help?

I am going to answer you step by step: I bought my phone half use (4 or 5 months ago), Kernel version is: 3.0.16-g271fd09 [email protected]#1 PREEMPT, The last update i did was about 1 months or 2 (i downloaded the rom from htcdev.com), I do not know what is the radio exactly so i am going to type every information i found: Base band version: 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.19_M, Build Number: 40.14.405.2 CL408426 release-keys, Bowser version: WebKit/534.30... No, i did not drop it never, Does not get wet neither... My phone company not even know i have an Android!
The radio is: 3831.19.00.19_M and HBOOT is: 2.03.0000. VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
If need more information just Let me know and i will provide you with it.
And i have another question: If i want to wipe the dalvik cache... all my apps will uninstall or delete? what happened if i wipe the dalvik cache?... It is just i want to run the games quickly (without freeze or not so much) and i was reading if i do a wipe dalvik cahche the smartphone entire should go faster...
waiting for an answer yet.... D; i really need help.
Sorry mate been a little busy, try calling HTC and asking them what their current radio is for your phone type and country. Otherwise I suggest getting your phone rooted and changing the kernal and if that fails try changing your Rom to a stable Rom. Withou root on your phone there is not much you can change. Only HTC can alter it.

Also it is safe to wipe dalvik cache your apps will not uninstall, only the crap they put on your phone will be erased. After a delvic/cache wipe reboot your phone, and it will come up with android upgrading. Another question when you downloaded the Rom did you do a clean or dirty install. If it was dirty (did not format phone) it may explain your WiFi issues. What Rom version are you running anyway?

I see... i am runing the rom i wrote above: vivo version 4.0.4 which was installed with RUU asistant from my PC 5 months ago (more or less).... and has been installed cleanly too (formating the phone entire but not the dalvic cache) And i got this problem recently (before, about 3 weeks i did not have any problem with wifi)... why now?
My phone is rooted already (i wrote it above too: S-Off) but i do not like the customs roms... i like the "original" or not personilized roms to my device... there are many custom roms right here (xda developers page) but i do not know if that roms get me more troubles that i have already... so i trust more in my stocks roms than customs for that...
Custom roms can be soooooo much better than stock, for one they get rid of bloatware which can slow your phone, and drain battery, and consume data. There is an abundance of info on these Rom pages, which can guide you on how to remedy any issues you may have, including hotspot issues. I think I read something on the net today about HTC having hotspot issues from their latest update. I use second sun Rom, with redux .6 kernal, radio is 28m, didn't like the 19m version. Hboot is blackrose. Second sun has everything working, no issues at all, its smoother, faster than stock and it is based on the 4.0.4 Rom, also has a jellybean switch. Try this combination. It may help.

hmmmm i am thinking about to change my rom.. but need more information for example, my htc incredible s (vivo) it is completely compatible with that rom?, how many available storage space i need? (whats the size of the rom file), i have never installed a custom rom before, so how could i install it sucesfully? it is with RUU? (Assistant/wizard for pc?).... though i think that all information i could find right here but i do not like the matter of wasting time so much (;
And... i will completely decide to change to a custom rom when the problem i have becomes a fu**ing curse to my life (lol, wich it is almost here)
Mine is the same type inc s vivo. 4ext or clockwork mod are best for flashing. I use 4ext touch for recovery/management. All you have to do is save zip file on sd card, not under any folders just on main file. About 400mb is needed for file. Then perform the format all partitions except sd card. Then choose install zip from sd card and select your zip.

i see... so every custom roms comes in zip format? it seems to be easier than i expected (; but before all, i need to choose the perfect rom i want, i would like to prove the JellyBean sense 4 in my device... but it can be unsuportted at all for the poor cpu incredible s has O; and u said me u have a good rom running in ur device... i want to know where i could find it? what sense it is? u told me about could "switch" to jellybean, i do not understand that...
could u reccommend me a rom that it is nearest to "perfect"? if u know what i mean.... i say, almost perfect or perfect to me! (smooth, fast, without freeze, insane browser, tha games i install run perfectly, the apps without freeze, you know what i am talking about) i say "insane browser" cause the browser ics comes crash and close every second and it freeze very much when playing streaming videos (at least to me) and of course a stable ROM in general, without bugs, with no erros at all!
I would check your router, maybe test on another wireless device if you have not done so already. If your using encryption try a quick test with it disabled or try using another network.

i tried it all you said: connecting my device to another network, trying to connect to my router without pass (encryption) and tried too using another smartphone (to check if the issue is for the router) and all of this it is the same result: incorrect download in everything, everywhere and every file of the entire world! (different download server) i thin changing my "RUU" to a custom rom could solve this issue! (that i hope)

i don't think so, I was reading the comments of the post of the Sabsa prime and some users having issues with the ROM, and the second sun I think have some bugs too... D; really it is so necesary to change my stock Rom to a custom Rom to solve a wifi problem? it is not easier to change the radio? or upgrade my kernel? .....
I am using second sun and I have not found any bugs, everything is working just fine. The first posts are there from when it first came out, before any fixes. If you would like to try to change the radio, the latest one is 19m. Can't suggest a kernal as they all react differently to different rims, its a matter of trial and error. Also if you would like to try a diferent rom, just perform a nandroid backup first, then change Rom. If you don't like the Rom all you have to do is go to recovery and recover the previous Rom. It would be like you never changed a thing. The backup is always there so you can try as many roms as you like, risk free.

exactly, that is it cause I have some games that doesn't work on gingerbread... I will do the back up of everything first (Nanandr... however Lol) how many free storage space I need in my SD card to do that? I will need to buy another Sd, the mine it is almost full of games and apps (every time I install an app, I transfer it to sd card) and it is full of files and crap.
first I will prove the second sun Rom, if that don't like me, then I will flash sabsa prime and will tell you how goods it is for me in both.
Someone could paste me the download link of the ultimate radio (.19M) and tells me what I have to know or how could I install it successfully without risk? (for example: what radio I need to have installed first?, the process is the same of flashing a Rom?) though I think that information provide me in the download link (the radio thread)...
You can find most of it here. Radios and kernals.

Phones giving me major problems ever since rooting

Ever since i rooted my phone i have been having and noticing more problems or getting worse and i am just wondering if it is because i rooted it, the phone itself, or maybe it was not rooted the right way or a proper way. I had a friend do it and needless to say hes off in his own little world half the time. Thats besides the point though the problems I am having are the touchscreen does not work half the time i have to tap on it a bunch of times for it to even register another one is i click apps and they will not open once again i have to keep hitting them if they open at all. Apps stop working and force close all the time along with the whole phone just freezing up on me. The keyboard doesnt work half the time and usually when something wont work it will just force close on me. I thought when i rooted my pphone it was gonna work better and be faster but so far i have had nothing but problems and i have had 6 maybe 7 roms flashed onto it and every single one the same thing. before it wasnt great but now it frustrates me so much i wanna just throw it out the window. Any help would be greatly appreciated and im a newbie at this so if you could explain things to me id once again appreciate it.
Rooting a phone gives you access to system files and should not affect the phone functions. Did you do anything after rooting? I think you need to find out how it was rooted.
Perhaps you could tell us which process you used to root?
sent from my PACman Atrix HD
Best way to troubleshoot this is by unrooting the phone by using the RsdLite tool to go stock again. Then go to the Original Developer section and download the rooting method by djrbliss to start over. Thats how i always fix my problems
Sent from my Atrix HD using ProBAM rom and XDA 4 Premium
I bet your issues would be resolved if you flashed a custom ROM. If you don't want to do that though, then you can just RSD Lite back to stock Jellybean. WARNING: You need to look up Myth Tools and use it to unlock your bootloader before you attempt flashing anything of any kind. I have seen several on this forum hard brick due to trying RSD Lite on locked bootloaders.
thank you everyone for the advice i had no idea i could turn my phone back stock i am going to do that now and follow the instructions to re root it that is exactly what i wanted thank you. I have tryed everything my latest rom is pacbam which is nice i like it alot but it still messes up after that i flashed a better kernel and pure performance i found it in the thread of PacBam but they havent done much.
The name of the rom is ProBam my bad
Stick with ProBAM kernel as it works great. All you have to do is to tweak the phone with CrossBreeder and Android Tweaker Mod for play store. Get Init support and your phone will fly

I posted something earlier about my phone being stuck at the bootload unlocked screen and i came back to this post to try to go back to stock while i wait for a response so maybe ill have a phone but I was using ProBam and that gave me problems also i am now wondering at this point if its just my phone but you said to get CrossBreeder and Android Tweaker what are those exactly and what do they do or help?
Do you have an unlocked bootloader and cwm installed? I assume you do since you're running a custom rom.

|Q| Need help regarfing HTC One Sense 6 Stock Rom with Bulletproof Kernel.

Hi there, i need a lil help,
I have an htc one which i ran on stock up until now. Yesterday i installed OTA sense 6 through zip and I wanted to have knock on feature with it, so i rooted after OTA, installed TWRP and flashed bulletproof kernel, everything is running smooth exceptthe scrolling is ****ed up pretty bad, by scrolling i mean scroll down in Apps like Chrome, Forums, Facebook,Blinkfeed etc. To be more specific when i scroll down fast n press my thumb to stop it at certain place, it wont stop n keep going as if touch is not working. Also sometimes it just scrolls to top abruptly, it is really making the sense experience bad for me n i cannot figure out problem, if any one can help i will be thankful, n my rom is stock europe version for htc__001 and bulletproof 14.2 ( I guess thats the latest) and i cant post the problem in bulletproof thread because I am new :S Please help!

I did everything you did but I did not install bulletproof. I hope you backed up everything and restore it. Try elementalx with sense 6 tool kid once you fix your phone. It's the same as bullet proof but for sense 6
