Hi
My camera isn't working anymore. It's crashing when I start it and apps like Instagram can't use it too (app returns to homescreen). I have a LOCKED Bootloader and Root permissions on .257 (4.2). I used Apps like Pimp my ROM.
I DO NOT have a TA backup. Is there a opportunity to fix it ? Maybe with a coming Sony update like 4.3 ?
Try to clear camera app data in settings.

You say you don't have a TA backup, however, the TA partition only gets wiped if you unlock bootloader, which you state you did not do, so that should not be a problem.
Did you try resetting your device? If that does not help it might simply be a hardware failure...
I do have a basic knowledge but I had never heard things like TA Partition before i bought this phone. I thought the app had used somekind of way, which "breaks" the camera as well.
Other camera apps do not work too. Wiping the camera cache didnt work :| I think I'll reset the phone and flash 4.3 this evening

Hello,
I admit I'm noob to this site and to android devices as well. This is may seem quite long, please read it out and help me. Recently i bought xperia sp [only 3 days old ] and successfully rooted it. To remove unwanted apps , i deleted some from root/system/app . Later i realize i removed some important files. My set is working fine, i just miss those . for example - google search widget, facebook, twiiter etc. Now i'm asking how can i restore every app that has been gone. Now i just want my phone as it were 3 days back. Pardon me if i can't make u understand ! I saw a post somewhere that i can manually update jelly bean 4.12, if i do so , will those app be back ? please suggest me what should i do now.
Best way is to use sus or PCC and restore/repair with those.
Before you do if you have root then use titanium backup to backup your apps and data to your ext SD card so you can easily restore your apps but not system files.
Once repaired, root again, install titanium and restore other apps you just backed up
Or if you have c5303 look here at the system dump http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240516

Repair the phone software using sony pc companion or sus.
Believe me it's the best option.
Hi,
I have serious troubles with my xperia Z phone and i would be very happy if someone could help me. So this is my story:
After i bought my new xperia Z and had it for several months i wanted more of it so i rooted it. then i found an backup app for rooted phones (Titanium Backup). So i backed up my whole phones files with Titanium Backup and exerything worked properly. After a time the new software was out and i was asked to update the existing software. Whithout thinking about it a lot i did so and at first nothing happend. After a while i rebooted it once and the phone and contact icon disappeared. So i opened Titanium Backup and restored my loses. Unfortunately i had to do this each and every time i rebooted my phone and tried uninstalling and reinstalling Titanium Backup a few times but nothing changed so i thought it would stop with time. Then Jelly Bean 4.2.2 came out and it asked me again if i wanted to update my software and so i did. After updating the icons disappeared again and when i tried to restore these again (from Titanium Backup) it just loaded forever and never restored them and i also cant restore anything else from my backup. So i thought that maybe this ****y app just kept updating my backed up files without asking me and that the newer firmwares doesnt support the backuped files from another firmware so it stucked. What can i do now? Should i downgrade me phone two updates down then restore everything, update and make a new backup or something like this?
Thank you and i hope somebody can follow my problem and have an idea how to fix the hole problemm....:crying:
Hi folks,
I have recently had an issue with the Moto G 2nd gen ONLY since yesterday with the Camera (Moto Camera app). I had been able to use the camera in the morning.
I tested with other apps which access the camera such as Instagram. Instagram could not start taking photo at all.
I don't know for what reason, the camera cannot start any longer. I tried to wipe the cache but it did not help at all. I am running standard Moto Android 5.0.2, with no custom firmware installed at all.
Does anyone know what is happening to my phone?
Thanks a lot for looking.
Try going to setings-->apps-->all, choose camera,delete cache,delete data,uninstall updates and stop the app. Reboot the device,try if camera app works. If yes install updates from playstore. If this doesn´t work boot the phone into recovery and delete cache partition. Maybe try first procedure again.If you are rooted you can try to uninstall camera via Titanium and install again.

Thanks for your suggestion :good:. I've done all of those steps. Even, I came to a point wipe all data and factory reset. No app installed rather than what comes with the phone. I still have the same error. Does it mean the camera has been physically broken?
Alright guys, I had to talk to Motorola Support about my case last week. After a long chat, I have it repaired under the warranty policy. I just received it back now. The camera was replaced due to hardware issue. Case closes here guys, thanks for the help so far.
Hello xda!
I'm a new member and I thought you guys could know about the issues I have on my Z3 Compact.
After using my phone a little while, I decided to root it so I unlocked it's BL. Then I tried rooting but couldn't. Well I could root it but I didn't want Kit Kat so I used it without root but with UBL for a while. Then I decided to root it. I rooted it successfuly and now I am using Wajk's 5.1.1 Stock Slim Rom. Ever since unlocking my bootloader I'm having issues. I turn on my phone, use it for sometime, then I can't watch videos from YouTube app. It says "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry.". When YouTube stops working, I noticed that I also can't record videos with the camera and I can not play videos from the storage of my phone (any video). It says "Can't playback video". Only fix I found for this is I hold the Power Button + Vol. Up button to wipe dalvik cache. After that problem goes away. But still, after a while, it does the same thing. Any ideas what it might be?
Appreciate every effort from now...
Up Up!
Any answers?!
Try to find the dev and ask if there is an update if not find a new rom

Not entirely sure why you would unlock your bootloader to root your phone. Have you tried re-locking it with the backup you made of the TA partition? That might fix your problem.
Another solution suggested is to go to settings\apps > Youtube > Force stop & Wipe data. Then restart your phone into recovery and wipe cache.
Have you tried re-installing flash? There is a youtube video that claims to fix it.
Have you tried enabling Use AwsomePlayer in the developer options.?
The video not working on your camera is broken bootloader symptoms. There is supposed to be a flashable fix but I don't know if it works or not.

First of all thank you for your reply. I've tried everything that you stated and it seems to be a lollipop issue. I wanted to try custom ROMs and such that was the reason for me to unlock my bootloader, also I didn't know you could get root without unlocking BL, so I had done it without a backup or anything . But since I started using 6.0.1 the problem disappeared. Thank you for your kind efforts.
This is what I get from the built-in camera app of my about one week old XP. Drives me nuts. I have defrosted all the bloatware I had freezed with Titanium, because I thought that may have been the reason. But it wasn't. I have tried with a third party camera app from Play Store, and that works without problems. So does the Snapchat camera. So it's nothing hardware, it's something that ties up the app. I have tried to reset the camera app, wipe data for the app and wipe dalvik and regular cache from TWRP. Any ideas what else I can do?
Could you find any solution?
Apart from using a third party app, not so far.
i have same problem
how to fix it? still waiting
I think it's the rooting with Magisk! I will see if I can find the developer. Have you two rooted?
Oh, it's not the rooting in itself, it must be Magisk. I have now rooted with SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2-20170103215521.zip, and that worked as it should. No camera malfunctions.
I have reported it in the Magisk forum.
I have done a full repair using xperia companion and it still won't work. I believe Magisk is still installed, but I've already tried uninstalling it so how would I make sure?
Once you've unlocked the bootloader, it must be unlocked in order to use the stock camera app on an official ROM
use custom kernel to fix the problem

The problem is that the camera doesnt work with a RE-LOCKED bootloader , flashing a custom kernel is not possible with a LOCKED/RELOCKED bootloader.
