So, my camera fails everytime i try to take a picture!
The image appears well, the auto-focus works also nice, but when i press the button to take the picture, the image is black and a warning pops-up saying that Camera failed and then the camera app closes.
I've done some research, and i found out that some users had the same issues, but by messing with the camera firmware menu, which is not my case. The solution in these cases was to re-flash the camera firmware, copying original SGS/Samsung Wave camera firmware files to /system/firmware, and hit "Phone to CAM FW Write" @ Camera Firmware menu. Obviously, and sadly, didn't work for me.
And, in another thread, 2 users mentioned that this problem started in their phones after flashing the CF-Root-JPH-v1.1, which i also did, since my build number was FROYO.XWJPF (and JPH was the closest of JPF). The root worked damn great, but the camera now doesnt work.
And when i go to Settings->Apps->Manage Apps->All i have the camera size @ 0,00k, and the camera firmware @ 4,00k, wich i suspect are not the default and correct sizes.
So, here i am, running out of ideas. I'm aware i can send it to warranty, but looking foward to not having all that work and solving the thing by myself, if i can.
Any kind of help in this would be very appreciated!
Reflash ROM (or upgrade to a newer one like JVR or JVS)?
Well, this is the stock rom, and officially, this is the newest ROM my phone provider sent to the SGS :S
Any way to re-flash it using Kies for example?
Already tried to wipe data/cache, reboot, etc.. :S
I don't know about Kies, haven't used it for so long..
So you want to stick to stock ROM. Hmm.
Here, try copying & replacing those 4 files into /system/app using some file explorer with root support or adb push.
Those files are from the original JPF ROM.

Well, solved!
Just re-flashed the stock official ROM (which i got using the app in this thread and everything is nice now!
Camera works, still have root. And the phone is still SIM-Unlocked.
Everything's nice
Fixed camera again by flashing CF-Root JPX

Same happened to me recently (though my "stock" build number before was actually JPH as well, so it should have been a perfect fit).
Front camera and video recording was still fine, but trying to actually take a picture with the main back camera results in failure after flashing CF-Root JPH, as you describe.
Anyways, I just flashed the more recent CF-Root-...JPX, and all was well again.
JPY would not even boot, btw, so the latest that would boot was JPX,
and it fixed it.
I never find a solution to my camera Samsung galaxy SI9000M
My camera on samsung galaxy s I9000M (Bell north american version)
My phone is out off warranty.
Since I upgrade the phone from froyo 2.2 the camera work only on video mode.
I tried all the new firmwares gingerbread from 2.3.3 till 2.3.6, I tried custom ROM, nowhere, the same problem...I change the camera firmware as explained in threads from many forums, using root and file manager,change files in system/firmware...no thing again.
I rewrite the files with samsung wave files...nothing again
As soon as I return back to froyo the camera start working again perfectly
I return to froyo and update the phone to official gingerbread 2.3.3 UGKG3 with Kies, the uodate done succussefully but the camera crash again showing the same message Camera Failed
I install Camera zoom FX, didn't work until I set it to Infinity focus...than start working.
But the Autofocus on original camera is a default value we can not change.
I played with the setting of the camear different ways and the problem is still there.
Any issues please

go into the settings, app, all, gallery -----> clear cache and delete data
for safety still in recovery mode, wipe cache and dalvik.
then it should go back.

go to recovery mode and wipe cache and dalvik.after that flash that zip.
this could help you. if not it would be better to re-install the rom after you have installed the stock rom + root kernel.
revert it to stock, re-root it, then install whatever ROM, then see, it solved it when i had that problem :fingers-crossed:

I see one or two possible causes of your problem:
1. Kernel more than 391MB usually breaks the 720p video and Gallery, make sure the bigmem patch of kernel is not activated.
2. Flashing directly from GB to JB usually causes post-installation problems, one of which maybe is your problem. Developers recommend a gradual ugrade of Android system to avoid any problems. From GB flash a CM9 ICS first then finally the JB Rom you wanted. In this way, you will surely get a trouble-free Rom.

i dont remember the stock android and other sh*t can u tell me or post a link were i can get everything what i need to revert it stock ? tnx.
You can also try to fix permissions in CWM under "advanced".
prob.
i reverted my galaxy s gt i9000 to stock, and hoped to get camera working again but no. has still that problem, says camera failed or something like that.
well i seen some posts about copyng camera firmware, i tried that. but next problem was... that this copy failed. idk why, maybe i cant in stock ?
pls someone help me!
I think I have exactly the same problem.
It was caused by flashing Onecosmics ICSSGS RC 4.2 to CM10 Stable. (i have to admid the camera was semi broken at ICSSGS already, crashed somewhere in an hour after booting, had to reboot phone to get it running again, but well it was working...)
Camera has never worked since. (stock sammy gave me a black screen when opening the camera, making a picture just made it freeze. CM10 just gives gallery crashes upon opening. Tried nandroids, cleared cashes, tried stock sammy firmwares. I wanted to do a Samsung Kies repair, but i was unable to find stock firmware for my country...
Flashing the camera firmware might work. It didn't for me, but i have heard it could be the solution.
Can you see if you front camera is working (install instagram and make a front camera pic, will evade the gallery has crashed problem).
yea, my front camera works, i can take pictures and watch them later.
but my back camera doesnt work

for now i tried to copy another galaxy s i9000 camera firmware and samsung wawe cam. firmware, but still that same problem... well 1 thing changed.
my galaxy s gt i9000 front camera is messing right now, i got like 6-7 me on that camera some lines are on the screen in camera :/
Well, if someone knows something what could help then please tell me!
ive tryed another roms, i been using android 2.3.6 and 4.1.1, back on stock, copyng files and messing around with that.
maybe camera is broken? i dont know what to do...
Have the same problem for a long long time.
been flashing a lotta roms kernels etc.. nothing.
I even changed the camera (I had another GT-i9000) and nothing, which makes me believe it's something of the Motherboard
Also, if I press the screen at the top half of it.. it shuts down.
I've had no back camera for a long time either. I've flashed back to eclair, tried about 4 different cam firmwares which all flashed successfully so they said, and lots of ROMs. I gave up. Im sure it must be hardware.
Seen people posting over time about the same thing. Firmwares helped a couple of people, but lots of people ended up with a dead camera. Buying a new camera unit from eBay fixes it. I think they're about £20....

I have exactly the same problem. Tried everything from changing many roms and kernels. Even bricked my phone for two weeks and then resurrected it using Darky's Rom Resurrection. But the camera even crashed in Darky's rom and it is still not working when I'm back to SlimRom 4.2.2 build 6. It was working all file and I cannot believe that it is a hardware issue. Please help.

same problem on my i9000. I will try with another camera from a friend's i9000.... if nothing happens probably will leave my precious
Hi everyone..
I'm writing this post after being offline from XDA for quite a long while, so keep it cool when answering since my knowledge of what I'm talking about is very limited by now. I have an Xperia Z with eXistenZ 5.0 installed, Build number 10.4.B.0.569, which is a JB Rom and I'd like to try out some new roms, firmwares, recoveries and so on..
What I am interested in knowing is why does my recovery mod disappear, this has happened a few times, and also can I choose exactly the kernel that I want for any rom or does some roms only support special kernels? And what about the recovery mods? Are they depending on kernel as well? How do I update to a newer kernel from 10.4.B.0.569?
First of, I have unlocked my bootloader a very long time ago and I haven't gone back to Stock since then and I am not planning to do so. However to start updating my Xperia what should be done? I have already backed up my current rom with Titanium Backup.
For some reason I can't access recovery mode when powering on and pressing volume down, but I know for a fact that it's pretty easy to install a recovery again.
It would be very much appreciated if you would explain what should be done and why.
Looking forward to hearing from you..!

personally I would flash an ftf earlier jellybean firmware then root cwm and unlock bootloader flash custom kernel etc, but you probably know this already.
A while back I rooted my Xperia ZR, backed up the TA partition, and flashed CM10.
To my regret, the camera performances aren't nearly as good as with the stock Xperia camera app.
So I was wondering if I could somehow restore the camera app, so I can use it alongside Cyanogenmod.
After googling a lot, the only solution I could find was to restore the TA partition.
Is this possible after flashing a different ROM?
Or does anyone know another solution?
Thanks in advance

Flash 4.4 CM and flash this CAMERA ADDON : - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672765
I'm on CM11 now with Android 4.4.4
Tried standard camera first: rubbish
Tried Google Camera next: rubbish
Tried Focal camera: rubbish
Next, I tried to install the ported Xperia Z2 camera: couldn't even open app, just errors
I'm starting to think it's the hardware that sucks.
When taking a picture of a newspaper or a book page (using any camera app on 13MP), you can't even read the letters, too blurry..
Does anyone know what may cause it?
Thanks
Hi all,
I have a redmi 2 and planning to buy the Mi5. I dont like using miui. I know that rooting doesnt void the warranty but does flashing custom roms affect warranty? Like if something happens to the phone while its on a custom rom and am not able to revert back to the stock rom before giving it to service centre?
You can unlock the bootloader and root your phone, no problem with it.
If install some custom rom, brick your phone and you can not revert to stock... you may have some issues while claiming warranty.

Rooting doesn't affect warranty, but as far as I know, your warranty is voided if you install other ROMs than custom MIUI builds. But today is nearly impossible to completely hard brick your device if you know what your doing. My advice is that you do a backup of your sensitive information (efs for instance) and flash only ROMs that you can trust works well. There's a lot of choices now that MI5 kernel is out in the wild

I was actually thinking about hardware issues. Like display not working. It happened to my redmi while it was in warranty. But luckily i was using miui rom at the time.
I faced problems about reboot on Mi5. while having power off to the set, a mi recovery ( 1. Reboot 2. Wipe data 3.Connect with Mi assistant) option has been notified on the black screen and takes a long time to back in the screen option). volume key (up) and power button also sometimes inactive. How can these issue be recover as earlier?
