Simple, flash the saudi ROM I used it with all the modifications and even after that the drm is not lost. The best version was .244

Galaxy S Camera Problem

I recently updated my Galaxy S to v2.2 (JPH firmware) using Kies. I also rooted my phone using the relevant file and applied One-Click Lagfix V2.2.
I was very happy with it, except I tried using my device's main camera today and it doesn't work properly any more. Prior to the FW update, it worked just fine.
Now, each time I take a picture, the camera app appears to be working -- I can focus and so forth -- but once I press the shutter button, it seems to be processing and then I get a broken picture icon in the middle of the screen.
Unlike others in this forum, I don't get a "camera failed" message at all, just the broken icon.
I've read various posts on different forums as well as this one and have tried the following:
uninstalled OCLF,
switching from SD card to phone memory
re-flashing camera firmware
I'm not absolutely certain but I don't think it's the Camera apk because I tried taking a shot with the front camera and it works fine.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, what steps did you take to solve your problem?
i have the same problem as u too. and i am trying to find a way to fix it
here's mine problem
used to work with
CAMERA FIRMWARE INFO:
SESBDI07: OQLBDI13: NONE
but only the devil knows why I did this
- Camera FW update :
* *#34971539#
* Select "Phone to CAM FW Write" and "YES"
* Waiting for "firmware update success.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and I got this
SESBDI07; SESBDI07; NONE (after update with XWJS7)
and finally my camera doesn't work @ all
any help appreciated

[Q] MIUI MCGv2.1 - YouTube problems :(

Hi everybody, since few days my Galaxy S was on MCGv1, I update it to MCGv2.1 and after reinstall all my apps and YouTube have a bizarre behavior : the back is in white/grey, it's hard to read texts and videos don't work right.
I tried reset factory, reboot, hard reboot, delete/install Flash Player, flash the rom again...
If somebody can help me
I'll tell you what I did.
I removed the YouTube app with System App Remover. Then I went to the market and downloaded the YouTube app from there. Installed it and it's working fine.
Done!
Thanks you Mohitdabbaail, I tried u'r solution... And now YouTube work
I don't know why the rom include a "broken" version of YouTube but right now it's okay.

LG Optimus 2X - Rear Camera and Flash Faulty?

Hello all
Recently picked up a LG Optimus 2X - everything seems to be ok with it, however the 'rear camera / flash' doesn't work ?
Choose the camera settings from the menu, the camera app opens up, but the screen is black, won't pick any image up whats so ever ?
Choose the 'front facing' camera and that works ok as it should
I installed a flashlight app, to check the flash led and again the led won't light up ?
Anyone come across this before and what other checks / remedies can I carry out to possibly get it working?
Moreso whats the possible cause of it not working in the 1st place ?
There is the orginal latest stock rom on it V20L - GB 2.3.4 - unrooted
Carried out a few data / wipe settings to see if that cured,but didn't.
Thanks for reading.

try a factory reset....it should work.
or try to update with a LG update tool
Did that twice - recovery mode - reset / wipe data / clear caches / dalvik
Rebooted - same issue - rear camera blacked screen - no picture / front camera works !
Both camera lenses are free from dirt and blockage etc !
Sometimes the camera app freezes and force closes - suggesting it could be a software prob ?
Other Google Play camera apps have been tried with the same results.
The phone isn't rooted by the way now.
I did root and install two different versions of 'cm 7 and 9' roms with the updated 'camera' patch stock files that had been created for better results.
Same issues again, if there was a camera app or patch that I found that was for the rom I was using I used it.
However unrooted, fresh install of the original factory rom.
Used the LG updater windows program to see if there was an update, the program said the phone had the latest version - V20L - GB 2.3.4
Since you RECENTLY picked it up, I assume you have warranty.
If yea, just return it to the dealers.
If you want, you can try using custom ROM, but REMEMBER YOU MESS UP YOUR WARRANTY ONCE YOU ROOT THE PHONE so until you can be sure you can reverse it, just take the easy path and return it.
As I already mentioned in my last response yesterday, I have already tried 2 custom rom installations.
The CM 7 and the CM9 custom roms !!
The outcome when turning on the camera was exactly the same - black screen !!
Thus / thereafter reverting BACK to the original stock rom installation with NO root - for it to do exactly the same !!
i have the same problem, i even changed the back camera module with a new one from alibaba and it didnt help.i wonder could it be the main PCB card.
any ideas?
I think that the PCB is damaged if you even tryed different Roms I don't think that it is an software issue then. I will search a bit

Camera error on any stock.

Hi guys, I have some specific problem with camera on Ripper rom and also x-power When I launch Camera it loads for a while and then shows "camera failed"... I've never had such problem and that's why I am asking you for help
Logcat uploaded on mediafire (Thats the way I could do it on my phone fastest way)
http://www.mediafire.com/?rzavb6e9dd7w61g
@@
I have already tried wiping cache, factory resetting, installing two camera mods from "theme" section.
I don't want to be rude.. But really, anyone ? It's really important to me, as i can't use my camera now
Go back to stock then started again.
Problem is, that it has accidentally started working.. without any change from my side
