Hi!
just downgraded from 5.1 to kitkat .290, installed recovery and rooted, then i wiped data,cache and dalvik, flashed prerooted 5.1 and was done, everything worked fine.
next day i realised that camera was not focusing at all and when i tried to take a picture, it jams or force closes. x reality is on the settings but dont know if it works.
tried everything, diagnostics failed, tried changing some settings and cleared data and such but didnt seem to help, looked like DRM keys were somehow lost.
i checked service menu and keys were ok, no errors at all.
tried to restore backed up DRM keys from 4.4.4 times but still no luck...
then i repaired with PCC and still not working. now im where i started with camera malfunction.
any help... i have no idea what went wrong... I have never opened my Bootloader.
Hmm strange... it ficed after downgrading to kitkat .290 and then repairin via PCC and now works fine... didnt fix on first time i repaired...

Dear, all
first of all, sorry for my bad english...
I have my galaxy s3 mini for a few months (i bought it on august 2013), a week ago my HH had a notification that a new ugrade available. So i tap OK, and the phone downloaded the upgrade (195 MB, if i remember correctly). When the phone succesfully updated, i check the system. I noticed that the baseband version was upgraded from i8190DXAMA2 to i8190DXAMJ1. A few days later, my phone started acting wierd. All the system apps start to crash a lot. One day the messaging dan contact app not responding, and i had to force close and reboot the phone. The other day was clock app crashing, and i had to reboot the phone.
Does anyone have same problem like me? How can i fix this? I tried to clear app data, but that didn't work. Reboot is the only way to fix this problem. And i don't want to reboot the phone every day or two. If i want to downgrade my baseband version to original, how can i do that?
and oh, my phone is not rooted. Still using stock ROM.
thanks
I'm guessing you didn't do a factory data reset after update?
Reinstall firmware using kies, after it's done, turn on the phone, do a factory reset and then setup it as you would with new phone.
Optionaly you can make a backup with KIES before the upper ster, and after doing a factory reset, restore the backup. Or just copy/paste stuff you need (music, picture, etc)

No, i didn't. The update was via OTA. Ok, i will try it and see if it works, thanks. :fingers-crossed:
hey,
I had 4.2.2 in my 5503. Couple days ago I decided to upgrade it to 4.3 using flashtool, because there wasn't official 4.3 for my region yet . After that, I noticed my led and NFC are dead. Led isn't working (no flash when making pics, not working as a flashight). NFC unchecks just after when I click on it. Tried: downgrade, delete/rename usf (like in xperia z), many others official roms. tried fix and upgrade by SUS and SPCC. No changes. Also tried CM11 4.4, but still led is dead, NFC option can't be even marked. Now I'm on rooted 4.3. Any ideas how to bring them back? And no, backup doesn't exist
waw that's not cool.. do you erase the whole system when you flash?

Yes. I thought it is better to have clean instal. Habit of installing roms on old phone. Everything else seems to work fine. I'm out of ideas.
hmm it's weird dude. well I suggest :
ensure that you bootloader is locked
do a fresh full flash with all wipes
do a reset in settings > backup & reset
then go into service menu > service tests > flash led
for the service menu, at the stock dialer, type : *#*#7378423#*#*
if it still doesn't work after this, I'm afraid this is hardware related.

Did that many times. To have clear conscience I connected phone to another usb. formated, flashed .67 with wipes. After reset, in service menu led is still dead. connected to pc, updated with SUS to .569. and same story. I'm sure they were working before 1st flash and upgrade. If this is hardware problem, should NFC unchecks itself just after I click on it?
Ehh I suppose, I have to deal with it. There is no cure for my zr
ps. in /system/app/ I can see ncf.apk & nfc.odex only. That's it, right?
well I don't know mate, did you ever unlocked the BL? It may be drm related also

NFC firmware needs update?
I got my ZR a few weeks ago, it came with 4.1.2 on it.
Straight away I hooked it up to PC companion and it updated to 4.2.2, during the first reboot I got a message on the screen for quite a while: "Updating NFC firmware"
I then had problems and thought it was due to 4.2.2, I downloaded & flashed a 4.1.2 ROM, once again, on the first reboot I got the "Updating NFC firmware" message.
Then I realized that the problems weren't due to 4.1.2 and flashed 4.2.2 again, once again got the "Updating NFC firmware" message.
This might not be much use to you but it seems to me that the NFC firmware needs to match the version of Android you're running.
Sorry, no idea how to update it manually, just thought it's something you might like to investigate.
Maybe start here ....

Ilko, yes. BL was unlocked. I had thought, drm can be involved with it. If yes, I'm pretty ***. I don't see any other explanation. many official roms. repairs by sus and companion. checked in buildprop editor, and everything looks ok.
alan573819, when I bought mine it was 4.1.2 also. Couple weeks later upgrated it to 4.2.2. but I don't remember that NFC dialog. I just don't remember, so it doesn't mean I never had it it was long time ago. I know that topic. Believe me, I know them all I'm silent reader xda since se k800i. Always found answers without asking. Until now.. I had to register, because no1 have same problem. with z, there is problem only with NFC (no1 complains about led), and they can fix it by deleting usf. It doesn't work for me. anyway, on 4.2.2 I had no problems with NFC or led. everything worked perfect until I decided to upgrade it to 4.3 with flashtool.
my phone was unlocked, rooted, had .310, .67, .569 for at least 3 different regions, had CM11 4.4, was repaired and upgraded by SUS and Companion. No changes. It just has to have something with drm, because I don't believe that hardware was broken during update. drm can explain it. but.. that's weird if NFC and especially led has something to do with it.
okay, then did your ever relocked it? backed up TA? restored it?
Made in ZR
yes, I have relocked zr.
Like I said before, I didn't make any backups. Didn't expect any problems so I just wiped and flashed my phone. On the other hand- who expects them? . I can risk with my own phone. If I do something for others, I always do backups, double checks etc.
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.
The situation is this, i try to change my phone to efs partition, i changed and after some weeks i decided get back to ext4, but during this procedure, the partitiol table got corrupted/broken, so everytime i flashed a rom it was good but on recovery, the data partition shows an error on log, when it booted, i noticed that my sensors stopped working, rotation screen brightness controller, among others, i had no other option than restore to stock, and i did, but my sensors keep not working, and i already flash the 5.0 and 6.0.1 and the result is the same, isnt suppost a rom include the sensor drivers?
Im 100% sure it isnt a hardware problem, please if anyone could help me i would be very gratefull, thanks
It was alright before. I captured one today. That got green when i turned on flash light. Then I checked third party app. It also got green. Is it for the august update? Plz help.
Backup your phone with Samsung Smart Switch and re-flash the newest firmware for your carrier. Before restoring the backup test the camera... If the problem persists, it is likely hardware related (bad camera module) and will need to be sent in for repair.
If the camera suddenly works, restart the phone and try again a few times to be sure it keeps working...
Then just restore your backup and try again. If it does it again, it's software related and you should reset and ONLY restore the files you REALLY NEED.... NO SETTINGS OR APPS!!
Good Luck!
