Could you tell me how to do it, pls? What is the last version of radio? How to check it?

Settings / About / Baseband
If the version is 4.06 / 5.08 / 5.12 (the version is in the middle of the long string there) - then there's some other problem in the system. If the version is 4.02 or 4.04 - then you need to go to Developers forum, open any Gingerbread ROM thread, and see the instructions for flashing Radio. Or look at my signature.

The Baseband Version is 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
What I'm thinking is could it be the problem because my Nexus had non original firmware before the GB update, and maybe I didnt make some important thing which blocking my camera now? Maybe I need to re-flash the radio with some original image? I'm totally NOOB in all these things...

Your radio is 5.08 - which means it's updated and the problem is elsewhere.
If you didn't upgrade to Gingerbread from a clean FRG83G build, but from some other build - you'll need to reflash the ROM. You can do it if you have unlocked bootloader. Read Wiki, it has the guide for installing custom ROMs - execute it, and use Gingerbread stock build from one of the threads in Development forum.

Thanks for your advices. Just upgraded the radio to 5.12 via fastboot. The camera still not work Will try to flash to original state...

ok, i've tried to rollback to original FRG83, se-flashed boot, recovery, but no luck - camera didnt started. Hovewer, i tried the flashlight torch and it started to work (it didn't like a camera before), so I'm sure now the camera issue is the software now - not a hardware.
Does anybody have some advices?

How did you flash frg83? via passimg or you flashed rooted rom from dev section? If you didn't use passimg method you should try wiping everything (cache, dalvik, factory reset) from the recovery.
BTW, if you have custom recovery you should be able to restore nandroid backup (which I assume you did;P ) and see if there is this problem too.
Cheers!

i've flashed frg83 using fastboot. And updated to 2.3.3 via recovery (RA-passion-v2.2.1). And yes, I wiped everything using the recovery. Unfortunately, I do not know what is nandroid backup, so I didnt do it
Hope there is a way to get my camera back to work... Could you tell me what to do, step by step, to make my Nexus fully functional with the 2.3.3 firmware, please!

I'd love to, but unfortunately I don't know what causes this problem at the moment I think it wouldn't hurt to try loging what is going on when you open camera.apk. Try adb logcat from your pc or install "alogcat" from market, start camera app and paste here the log file.
Lesson for future always do nandroid backup You can do this from recovery, it will do phone's memory image Then you can always revert back to what you had before flashing new rom

Yeah... backuping is a cool thing.... It is just my first experience with the Android phone... Maybe will find some kind of solution for this...

Well... Problem stays... However I've found few interesting things. As I've mentioned above, after the 2.3.3 update the camera and flashlight doesnt work enymore. But I've installed Z-DeviceTest and found that after the reboot this app (which provides the hardware test) sees the camera and flashlight! But, unfirtunately, doesnt able to test it. Moreover, if to start some torchlight widget directly after the reboot, the flashlight works!!! But it is not after the camera start... So, maybe someone will find this information useful.

@Pomka
have you found the Satu Solution yet ?
mmm. i guess you borrow from somebody the nandroid back up and restore it...
then u will know whether it is a hardware issue or Software Issue.
Logic ?

[Q] Wifi problem

Hello! I just bought this phone today and I've just managed to unlock the bootloader and install my first rom. However my wifi has been acting very weird. It works when using stock kernel and stock rom but hasn't worked on a single custom rom. I've tried a lot of them as well such as "xenon" and "pac". What is wrong here?

I'm a new user aswell, but I used other phones b4 and I recommend you to factory reset before Installing these roms (If they are not installed over stock rom), if you install them over stock ROM(which means the zip file DOESN'T format your /system partition) you should consider a factory reset after installation.
Before trying these, if ROM developer told you to use a specific kernel, try to flash that kernel back, I had some problems while installing some kernels and could never get my Wifi to work until I reflashed the kernel.
Take a nandroid backup to your external sd card before trying these, better safe then sorry

Maybe e reflash using the lastest original kdz firmware and going to alll the root - > CMW(now is oficial) - > install custom room should be the way.

Is this ALL Wi-Fi connections, or just a particular one that you are having trouble with? Is the Router set to use WEP? If so then you're out of luck as WEP has big problems, but as it is old technology you shouldn't really be using it anyway.

when flashing custom ROM make sure you flash the stock kernel first, take a few photos and then flash a custom kernel like Agni. Should sort your problem.

well since i am not stock anymore i think i have to go back to stock,and then change Rom?
Anyone has other suggestions?

Just flash stock KERNEL for your 4.3, reboot and take a photo with it. Then flash custom kernel and it will work !

You can also try this ROM (TGP v14.03 based on Samsung Stock Android 4.3), it worked like a charm for me without doing things like "flash stock kernel, take photos, flash custom kernel, etc."

Weird, perhaps it depends on the GS3 model....Or maybe our pre-install procedure is different (system wipe, data and cache wipes, etc.)...
So, you just have to do what Hbohd said previously. Is it working for you ?

As Hbohd said :
1- Install your favorite 4.3 custom ROM with STOCK KERNEL
2- Take a few photos with it.
3- Then flash ONLY CUSTOM KERNEL and camera will work with your custom ROM + Custom kernel

Did you already read this thread ?
Try to read it and test it. It will be clearer than my explanations.
After that, I'm not sure if I can help you more....
In my case, I already had the same problem as you but using TGP ROM v14.03 with default installation solved my camera issues (as I already wrote in this thread).

[Q] (Q) Problem with Carbon and Mahdi Rom

I 've tried both roms (clean install) but only the front camera is working (model d405n)
I 've tried with CWM and TWR but with the same result.
Is there any fix for that?

No idea... Have you done a full wipe?
(If you realy want, you can restore everything with kdz en start all over again?)

We have one guy on polish forum with the same issue. Strange thing, as if there is more than one d405 variant.

Yes i did a full wipe.
I restore with kdz, root again, full wipe, install rom, and the problem still exist

is there any kernel i can use?

I use the latest CarbonROM (CARBON-KK-UNOFFICIAL-20141004-1556) for my D405n and front camera works. Are you sure you flashed the correct bootloader image (boot.img)?

i can not find a link for that build. Can you please post a link here?

I use this boot

My Watch is bricked

Hey guys I unlocked the watchs's bootloader and installed TWRP. Then I downloaded a few ROMs, flashed one of them and now my watch boots straight to TWRP instead of the ROM. I tried flashing other ROMs but same thing happened. Also I was stupid and I didn't do a nandroid backup :/
Any help plz?

Could you tell us which ROMs you flashed? LeeDrOiD's Urbane Port should work fine
You can try the Stock Images provided here if nothing else works

I tried to flash 5.1.1 rooted ZIP file (bricked) and then I tried LeeDroid (still bricked). I'll try that one, thanks. Also, I tried flashing it from Android Wear 4.4. Would that be a problem?
