So, i'm the guy who has been constantly trying to figure out why my camera all of a sudden died when I did my first ROM flash some time back. I have tried just about everything and it has led me to this point.
If you're wondering what everything is here you go.
1. Tried 3 or 4 different ROMS
2. Reverted back to unrooted RC29
3. Tried different camera software
4. Formatted and repartitioned my SD Card
5. UID repair under Amon's recovery.
Okay, back to my point.
When doing a logcat during an attempt at booting my camera (which always results in an FC) I noticed that the system was attempting to access a directory that wasn't there *dev/msm_camera/control0* after investigating I've found that the directory contains device files that work in conjunction or are part of the hardware driver itself.
Searching further, i found this post on the Android Wiki as to whether or not the Cupcake OS would work on the G1 (before it was released): "Need confirmation: Currently there are a number of closed source drivers that are not included. Someone with access to the source to these drivers will have to compile them with the 2.6.27 kernel that cupcake includes. Chances are that until there is an official OTA release for the G1 that is based on the changes in cupcake it will be very difficult to get it running on the G1/ADP1. These drivers include: The Qualcomm camera driver, frontend HW accel codec, h264, libhgl."
So, what I'm thinking is that i somehow have corrupted my drivers, and, the only way I am going to get them back, is if someone knows how to install them manually, or, if there is way to get back to RC30 or 33 without waiting for the OTA from T-Mobile. I went back to RC29, but, the check for system update option didn't appear in my settings window and after 5hrs I still didn't have the update. Any help with the camera driver install or with getting RC30 or 33. Please Help

I think You have bigger problems then that. Every rom includes drivers, even your RC29. Furthermore, you can rip them out of any rom and copy them into corresponding directory. If your camera doesn't work in multiple roms and after flashing DREAIMG.nbh - then it doesn't work, i.e hardware issue.
Good luck.
If all of the sufficient Camera drivers are present, then why isn't the directory specified recreated upon flashing ? Permissions issue maybe ? I'm just trying to figure it out. Also, when going from a custom ROM to RC29, I get different behavior, the camera doesn't force close, it just hangs on a backlit black screen.
You are missing the point. It was a COINCIDENCE that your camera stopped when you tried a custom rom. The camera circuit itself is FRIED WITHOUT CHANCE OF RECOVERY.
Virtually *ALL* of the DREAM/32B ROMs include the camera drivers appropriate to that device.
If the device files aren't being created, it has NOTHING to do with permissions since those device files are being created by the driver itself, which runs within the KERNEL == full control.
The differing behavior of the camera app with respect to lack of available camera is a result of differences between the two different versions of the camera APP itself and is nothing to get excited about.
The device files are created by the camera driver (kernel) when the camera hardware is initialized. The reason the device files aren't appearing is either because the kernel is unable to detect the presence of the hardware, or the driver is unable to initialize it. This is caused by a HARDWARE FAILURE.
FURTHER, the /dev path is NOT a disk filesystem. It is NOT created by adding files into your root filesystem. It is a VIRTUAL REPRESENTATION OF THE AVAILABLE HARDWARE THAT IS PRESENTED BY THE KERNEL.
Thank you very much, that is explanation I've been looking for all along, time to pack this phone back up and get a new one.
I have the exact described issues here, I have gone through the same tests except I found that my camera does work if I load the JacHeroski2.7.4r2.zip ROM.
So the camera actually functions. Any ideas what else this could be.
I did run a logcat of the Camera Start on the Hero ROM and I do not see any calls to /dev/msm_camera. which still does not exist.
Hello guys,
After more than a week of non-stop reading and trying to fix my problem I decided to register here on XDA Forum and ask you guys for help.
I'm wonder if there is a solution for problem I have with HD7 and of course to confirm if I'm right...
Maybe it's very simple to fix, but I don't know how and because it's my first broken phone for +10 years I spent so much time trying to fix it.
Okey so let's stary short story about my phone... I bought HTC HD7 phone in ~Jan/Feb 2012. From that time I flashed it many times with custom roms and used RSPL/HSPL - no Goldcard and service Jtag.
Anyway there was something wrong with that phone - not really know what, but with no reason and randomly its software hangs and after reboot loose all data - this happen to me few times before. (I bought it brand new).
And now 8 days ago this "Memory Loss" trick happens again. But this time, there was no way to initialize system again - I mean OS startup and displayed some first initialization steps, but... wait a second: "Low storage memory" message appears. So I see memory card was not recognized and in about it shows 13MB of Total space and 0MB free. So I started researching and reading and of course from beginning I expected that microSD card is damaged.
This tooks me 8 days and my rooms now looks like, so please guys help me

... and problem still not fixed
------------------------------------------------------
1) I spent few days on downloading recommended software by users with similar problem to mine - Format SD card issue after WP7 (used on a PC, laptop...)
- ..and also I reflashed my old HTC G1 to get more disk tools bundled into FW and tried from basic DD wipe these protected cards...
Status: No success. (I didn't knew before how SD Protection really works...)
2) I found out on Microsoft website note about WP7 and SD cards. (everyone should read):
MS WP7 SD Memory: goo.gl/LMQ2l
:highfive: High five for Microsoft - I believe people now complain how Microsoft sucks is because of use protected area of SD cards in new phone OS and I guess they complain exactly the same when Microsoft is not secure enough... :silly:
Okey so I found great short list of devices that support Protected Area of SD cards and are able to format it/erease them. There was highly recommended (and I agree too) to use Nokia phone on Symbian - FAST AND 100% WORKING. Unfortunately a friend with N95 could bring me that phone at next one day and it was morning, so I was looking and trying other devices...
Status: (broken?) microSD not recognized by Nokia 6600.
Next day status: (broken?) microSD after 3 errors successfully and quick formatted. Double checked, wiped and looks like it works fine. Thanks to Symbian and Nokia N95
NOTE FOR EVERYONE who has a problem with protected SD after WP7/8 and it's not visible anywhere (PC, WP7/8):
GO AND GET NOKIA WITH SYMBIAN AND DON'T WASTE TIME!
3) I installed back to the phone 8GB SanDisk microSD card freshly formatted in N95 and then on PC to FAT32 Primary partition with cluster size 4 and 8KB, but the card was still not recognized. Not even touched... I used for test other 2GB and 4GB one but I was thinking that maybe these are smaller and maybe too old so not compatible. However the 4GB one was 2nd class card.
4) I listen to someone's who wrote on a forum: "go and buy new one it must be working". So I bought one - SanDisk, model exactly the same mentioned by a user who successfully fix microSD WP7 issue.
Status: brand new microSD not recognized.
5) And now is a time for ONE of TWO BEST jokes on XDA I found. It's: RUU_Schubert_XBMOD_V1.01
I spent more than 2 days trying to flashing this ROM with different Radios and trying to update HD7 with the StorageLock.cab
But how to send anything to device with not enough space and with the ROM that brings huge space around 3MB?! ...and the words of another genius guy who say that this method works 100%. And to be sure do this from Goldcard (not explained what).
6) So I made a Y-cable like connector - used two USB ports from some old USB-hub and power source from the same dismounted little bit USB Hub. Connector looks like a USB in a condom:
------------------------------------------------------
IMAGE LINK: goo.gl/9C98o
------------------------------------------------------
7) CID I read using my old BlueAngel/QTEK 9090/MDA III Pocket PC device running Windows Mobile 6.5 - custom from XDA of course ;]
8) When Goldcard was ready and S58 cleared I used it to flash XBMOD ROM as mentioned. No way to update it with that Cab. It was hanging at next reboot after applied .cab.
9) So I decided to mod this ROM little bit and cut it from Office and other things and include app in it. I'm not sure I've done it okey, but when I run Storage Lock, the app starts, notified me that SD card is unlocked. And asked to lock it? When I choosed Yes the Fail message appears.
So still not working...
If someone would to use lite XBMOD with bundled StorageLock inside the ROM as System part:
DOWNLOAD XBMOD w/ StorageLock included-----------
LINK: goo.gl/mpkP0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10) And even I listen to this stupid and unbelievable idea that back cover with WiFi antenna needs to be properly installed - otherwise SD card will not be detected - I made fake one for tests and I added additional 3 Ohms resistor to make more real if there is installed some measure software...
Still nothing.
11) I flashed many ROMS through DIAG mode and classic method (Vol-Down + Power) - and I didn't get back my SD card recognized.

------------------------------------------------------
And now I would like to ask some questions... And please bring all ideas you have... Thank you!
Q1] How device PVK can be loosed?
Q2] How to restore or generate correct one device PVK key and finally how to apply it?
Q3] Missing device PVK key cause SD card initalization (I think yes.)?
Q4] Is it possible to prepare ROM wich will include in the system all these StorageLock, StorageFullTool, and other HTC test tools? Let's say a very lite ROM with basics and tools to manage the unit that will work without inserted SD card? Is it possible to cook ROM like that? Any ROM Maestro can do this?
Thank you!!!!!!
Have a nice day!
It sounds like the same problem that some users have had when the try an use/run the Storage Full Tool... Did you by change use this tool on your device?

Hello. No, I never installed this one. ;(
I'm wonder if there is some phone initialize Rom (?)...
And what about Windows Phone activation. Is this the way to get valid PVK? Does anyone know if there is a way to restore even not valid PVK files? I would like to use this phone even without Marketplace and other...
TL;DR: I need update logs or an idea what path might be missing that breaks the 8.1 update!
Hi all, strange for me to be asking for help here but it happens...
I've finally gotten my ATIV S (SGH-T899M) into a state where I'm willing to upgrade it to WP8.1. However, I am unable to do so. I've been able to install a few updates, but the actual 8.1 update won't install. The error I get (under the "Update status" line in Settings -> Phone Update: "The update was downloaded, but couldn't be opened. (80070003)"
The error code is an HRESULT or NTSTATUS wrapper around Win32 error code 3, which is ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND. Note that this is distinct from FILE_NOT_FOUND (2); you only get error 3 when a part of the path to a given file (or directory) is missing. I've searched online for any information about this error with regards to updates, to no avail. It does sometimes happen with Windows Updates on PC, but the instructions for resolving that aren't easily mappable to the phone.
Phone's current status:
OS version: 8.0.10532.166 (this is the pre-8.1 version; as I said, I did get some updates)
Firmware revision: 2212.13.11.2 (this is the Samsung GDR 3 version, except modified to not overwrite WP8Diag.xap or FCRouter, etc.; see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537241)
Hardware revision: 15.3.1.0
Radio software: 2212.13.11.2
Radio hardware: 0.0.0.0
Bootloader version: 13.08.14.16
Chip SOC version: 1.5.32
Phone was originally branded for Telus Mobility in Canada, and still has signs of that in DeviceTargetingInfo (language is 0809 instead of 0409, for example, and MobileOperatorName is LUS-CA). It was factory SIM-unlocked and brand new when I got it. It is developer-unlocked, interop-unlocked, capability-unlocked, and has been subjected to numerous additional hacks; I've reversed a few that I can think of which could possibly impact the update (like messing with files in the System32 directory) but I probably missed a few of those.
Here's what happens when I try to update:
If Preview For Developers is not enabled, it does "Checking for updates" then says I'm up to date.
If PFD is enabled, it checks for updates and then, if I'm on WiFi, downloads the update CABs.
It then enters the "Preparing to install" step. This is very slow in some places, stalling for minutes at a time at some percentages, but eventually reaches 97%.
It then stops the update process with the error message in bold above.
It does NOT ever tell me what the update is.
It does NOT reboot, or even offer to reboot, at any point.
The "Check for updates" button re-appears and can be used to start the process over again.
So... any ideas or suggestions? I'd prefer to avoid a hard-reset if possible, simply because of the amount of time it would take to restore the phone to the condition I state I want it in, but I'll do one if nothing else works. Things I'm particularly looking for, in descending order:
1) Anybody else who has experienced this problem and found a solution (and what that solution is).
2) Any log files I could check to see what it was trying to do when the error occurred (ideally with the path that caused the error).
3) Anybody else who has encountered this problem but not gotten past it; we can compare what changes we made to our phones.
4) Anybody else who has a reasonably similarly-modified phone but has not experienced this error and was able to install 8.1 (so we can compare what we did to our phones, and I can possibly crib files off you).
Hope somebody can help! Thanks.

I've seen this happening with many people. The only way is reset.
Huh. I didn't see any news about it, at all, when I searched. Lots of stories about *other* update errors for WP8.1. Lots of stories about this particular error when installing Windows updates on normal Windows (none of which, sadly, had helpful suggestions for the phone). When you say "many people" do you mean in general, or just lots of people with interop-unlocked ATIVs?
I would really like it if the source of the problem could be identified and fixed, but Microsoft seems unlikely to be helpful here. It's probably a really simple problem - a config file that needs to be edited, a folder created (we can do that), a registry value changed, something like that - but oh well. I can back up my app data, and my SMS are backed up automatically, so I suppose in the big scheme of things there's no reason *not* to do this... I just don't like it, and consider it a waste of time.
On the other hand, if I have to hard reset anyhow, I might take the opportunity to install a custom CSC. I normally try to stick as close to stock ROM as possible - making only runtime changes, basically - but it's quite possible that some of the changes I've made will *already* persist after reboot (part of why I'm hesitant to blindly hard-reset; what if it doesn't fix anything and is just a waste of time?). It would be nice to get some of the feature perks of the custom CSC though.
I had almost the same problem getting the error 80070003.

Thanks, but that's.. mot actually very encouraging. I have the SGH-T899M, and as far as I know we still don't have a leaked ROM from one of those.
I also got the "Your phone couldn't be updated" message. But the code was: 80188308.
Any takers?

I've been trying to look into what's going on with the error message.
I found the particular error string within DuErrorsUIRes.dll. IDS_DU_ERROR_PREINSTALL_FAILED.
With that said, the only files that use the DuErrorsUIRes.dll are \PROGRAMS\DUACLIENT\DuaClientSettings.dll and \PROGRAMS\DUACLIENT\DuaNotification.exe.
I'm not good AT ALL with ASM, but you can either grab those files from your phone or grab them from the emu and load them into IDA and track it down.
I know that the code is the 6th code in the list that corresponds with the update error text.
Sorry I'm not able to help much, but hopefully this is of SOME value to you.
Thanks, Snickler. That's an approach I hadn't considered. Since the error code just means "Path not found" I was trying to think of paths it might attempt to access which could, for some reason, be missing from my phone... but working from the other end might work better.
Hello,
I've already sent my device back to Asus, where they did absolutely nothing and just sent it right back to me. Complete waste of $16 shipping.
anyway, a while back I received a notification to update firmware. It downloaded, but then the install failed. About 2 weeks later, it prompted me again, and once again it downloaded but then failed to install on the restart. I decided to download the latest firmware on the Asus website, but I have no option to install by SD Card once I'm in Droidboot. My only options are:
1. REBOOT
2. REBOOT DROIDBOOT
3. RECOVERY
4. POWER OFF
Can someone please help? Asus has been absolutely no help, as I just spent another hour yesterday "chatting" with the rep who knew absolutely nothing!
Thanks in advance, cheers!
Well, I guess I stumped everyone in here as well. I just sent the device back to Asus for the second time in 2 weeks. Let's see if they do anything more than just power on the device, deem it "working properly" and promptly send it back to me.

I have (2) K01A MemoPad 170CX's, less than 30-days old. Both updated to 4.4.2 via OTA method running software Image Version: V11.2.3.27. (2014-12-23)
On one all of the sudden (and it may be a case the camera never worked) is when the camera is activated the cam app comes up for (3) seconds with the still icon lit up, then the video icon lights up as well for a (1) second then app exits to desktop with a "No Camera is found" error message.
I've been all over the net trying to find into on how to manually flash it.
According to the very cryptic info on ASUS website step # states:
"2. Download device software and Update SOP (From “Manual” Item)"
Googling for info on SOP, you download firmware in zip format, then do (1) extraction of the contents to a MicroSD card formated FAT32 to the root of the card. (After extraction there is a zip file named ifwi.zip that contains (4) *.bin files that remain inside the zip, you don't extract that zip.)
According to info on SOP, with device powered fully up inserting the sd card is supposed to bring up a prompt, a icon on the taskbar/, you click the prompt and the update process begins.
I'm not seeing that.
All I see when the SD card is inserted is a notification the SD is being prepared for use.
When trying to update via DROIDBOOT (W Fastboot wording at bottom of screen), with SD card inserted the DROIDBOOT menu isn't coming up, when I fire up DROIDBOOT without the SD card inserted and insert it DROIDBOOT does not recognize any change has occurred.
Wanted to try re-flashing WW_V11.2.3.27 as I've read in cases the camera gets the No camera found error message the camera firmware gets corrupted somehow. when you hit the return to home-screen icon too fast, I guess when app is in process of opening and it's closed before it initializes fully.
If that doesn't work, trying Version WW_V11.2.3.28 as I for sure don't want to have to send the device back to ASUS when a simple reflash of the firmware would get the camera working again.
Q: Are / were you getting the same results?
(I guess you didn't try SOP method?)
Q: I guess "Fastboot" means "neutered"? Is there a way to bypass? /enable all functions ASUS would not be able to detect if I have to send in unit for service?
Tried copying the contents of the removable SD card to the internal SD card folder...
Nada, zip, nothing.
ASUS needs to provide info on how to run the flash, I've never had this much trouble flashing a device.

I have (2) K01A MemoPad 170CX's, less than 30-days old. Both updated to 4.4.2 via OTA method running software Image Version: V11.2.3.27. (2014-12-23)
On one all of the sudden (and it may be a case the camera never worked) is when the camera is activated the cam app comes up for (3) seconds with the still icon lit up, then the video icon lights up as well for a (1) second then app exits to desktop with a "No Camera is found" error message.
I've been all over the net trying to find into on how to manually flash it.
According to the very cryptic info on ASUS website step # states:
"2. Download device software and Update SOP (From “Manual” Item)"
Googling for info on SOP, you download firmware in zip format, then do (1) extraction of the contents to a MicroSD card formated FAT32 to the root of the card. (After extraction there is a zip file named ifwi.zip that contains (4) *.bin files that remain inside the zip, you don't extract that zip.)
According to info on SOP, with device powered fully up inserting the sd card is supposed to bring up a prompt, a icon on the taskbar/, you click the prompt and the update process begins.
I'm not seeing that.

I tried everything under the sun....I extracted the zip, nothing. I left it as a zip, nothing. I went to recovery, nothing. You name it, I did it. So, I sent back to Asus for the second time in 2 weeks. I just checked the status of my RMA with Asus, and it states that "No trouble found." I'm not sure how NO TROUBLE IS FOUND when I can't even update to Asus latest firmware for their device? In addition, I do not get the options to try to manually update (Not that I should even have to go that route when it should be OTA). I will never own another Asus product. I've only had my tablet for 4 months, 2 1/2 months of which it sat in my desk, unused. Asus is garbage.
Did you remove any system files or freeze them? Did you root?

No I did not remove any system files or freeze them, that I know of. I rooted shortly after purchasing this, but unrooted the device about 2 weeks later.
Thoughts?

If you are talking to me in which camera(s) both seem to not be found by the OS ME170 is STOCK, STOCK, STOCK.
Contacted the vendor TigerDirect, noticed that they claim they will NOT do exchanges due to "manufacturers polices". While I realize it costs vendor (TigerDirect) to handle exchanges that wording could also indicate they have run the numbers and don't want to be bothered.
Reading about ASUS service, and my interaction with ASUS when I contacted them does not insipre incidence so I'm hoping to be able to flash the device and cameras will start functioning again.
In regards to the customer being able to flash a device (Which I done numerous times on other brands)
I know ASUS is a Asian based manufacturer and sells worldwide but they really need to have persons who can write in better ENGLISH.. ASUS needs to publish detailed instructions on how to flash device, additionally they need to update support pages with any drivers, tools to do so vs just posting the firmware with vaque reference to SOP.
Q: How long after firmware updates appears on ASUS site does OTA update get pushed?
..
Just an update....
Just received my memo pad back, and it appears to be finally fixed. It took sending it back twice, and escalating to a supervisor, but it looks good now. I've actually received 3 firmware updates in 2 days, so it was REALLY behind! What firmware are you all running right now? I have WW-3.2.23.201.
I think 201 is the latest. Mine is still on 199 though and it won't try to update again since it failed a couple of weeks ago.
Just a general remark:
The new Win10 update from microsoft wich is rolling out as of today solves a lot of issues on the x98 tablets.
For example networking issues on mobile plans are solved, battery indicator fixed, no more flashing of notification shade, overall response much faster. And that's just at first glance.
This looks pretty cool!

Thanks ! it is workable when remove SD card . they could upgrade to 586 successful .
What about the orientation problem with the new update!
Orientation is all messed up again and the reg file from the drivers pack does not work any more!
No problems on both x98s. Came from original bing 8.1, upgraded to 10 and now to the new build without issues. C5j6 and c8j6.
On c8j6 cameras not working
3g, wifi, screen rotation, gps all ok
on c5j6 all is working: camera, gps, 3g, wifi, screen rotation, sd card etc.

I'm having the same issue. Had to lock the screen into the correct position. Have not found a solution. I think I will need to mess around with the registry to fix it.
I tried the update twice on my dual with no success. I had removed the SD as I'd been warned about it : the first time it shut down, maybe because the battery was low (despite of the power supply being plugged). When I rebooted it said I needed 14Gb to start the update, so I plugged a OTG USB Key and gave its path. Then it started and downloaded the update again, and failed (I don't know when). Now I'm confused about how to do this update.

You need the SD and USB drives removed for it to update. Delete stuff to make room or go the reinstall route.
I still have issues with touch screen rotation after the update...
Thank you for your help. My windows partition is almost mint, I just installed the Window 10 pro from this forum, office, Kodi. There is 3gb of free space, afaik I can't do much better. I'll check wether there is to clean files from windows update, and I'll try again without SD/USB
Did you delete the previous Windows installs?
Old versions of Windows will be left on the drive in case you want to revert back and they take up a lot of space.
You can do drive clean and use the advanced or admin only option and check how much is in the old windows file.
I don't have my tablet with me or I could give you the exact path
With a 32 Gb partition you should have close to 16 Gb free... at least... I'm sporting windows 10 November update...
It failed again and again, I give up.
Questions to those who succeeded :
- how much free space did you have?
- did you have Windows 10 normal or PRO?

my teclast is original partitioned and the windows partition is 37.5GB in size.
at the moment I have over 16GB free space, this is with libreoffice, adobe première elements, utorrent and several small tools installed. all these were also installed before the november update.
I am using windows 10 home as official upgrade from 8.1bing
Hi,
I'm wondering: On Win10 (pre1511) my x98 (c5j6) always tries to install a new graphics driver - but always fails. ALso, I can manually start this process in the device manager, same result.
What else can I do?
Best wishes

Hey, I succeeded to get it to work on air II. I had to do the following:
- change the battery mode to never turn screen / power off when plugged
- cleaned c: drive - deleted system files (including windows updates to force redownload)
- ran the update and this time it worked
The other alternative is download the Microsoft Media Creation tool, create a new USB installation media (include updates), and then do a "clean" install (reinstall windows 10). This will install windows 10 with the 1151 build.
It's worth it as it now allows us to use the SD card to install apps!
Thank you for your feedback.
As I can't get more free space, I'll wait the next W10 big update. At this time, I'll format all partitions to get more space for windows, by reducing the android one.
I tried the media creation tool but not chosing a fresh install, only update. Failed.

same here on a C9J8 ?
would love to have a working camera for video calls. Any way to fix that?
oh, and the CPU seems limited to 1.6GHz?
Last night I installed an update for Windows 10 version 1511 (KB3124200) and everthing seems to be smoother. The only problem I have is that the battery stays at 7% for a long time. Tried to completely discharge it but doesn't work...
