Hey guys,
So basically my camera stop working. Two days back update the phone to the latest firmware (Android 9) and security patch (March 1). Installed TWRP and rooted with magisk. So far everything was working fine. Today needed to restart the phone and after the restart my camera disappeared. In camera app I get just black screen without error. Same thing happen with third party app. Trying in safe mode, same results. In an app
iDevcheck under camera tab there is nothing, no information at all.
Ideas?
Bump,

If it was me, I would flash stock filmware with Odin to see if it resolves the issue, if it does not, it is probably a hardware issue, in my opinion, or maybe the camera ribbon cable has disconnected somehow.
''Can't turn on flashlight because the light is being used by another app''
This is what I discovered today. Still kinda think it's a software issue. At the moment don't have the chance to flash stock firmware.

Factory reset?
Factory reset did not helped either.
I guess something went wrong during the rooting process.

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

My camera bad yet.and update faild. why?
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

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.
It happens randomly when using the phone (it doesn't happen when it's locked). The phone just freezes then restarts randomly.
I tried to find a pattern when this is happening, and found there isn't much of a pattern, but it won't let me add a fingerprint lock (crashes after the 3rd / 4th reading).
I've tried to factory reset and clear cache. I'm running out of options and am preparing to flash a stock ROM via Odin. I'd like to avoid this, since it'll trip knox and this is a new phone so I wanted to avoid flashing anything for now.
Any suggestions, ideas?
I'd say this is a kernel related crash, since it doesn't give any error, just goes out. But I hope I'm wrong.
Baseband: N920CXXU2BPD5
Build Number: MMB29K.N920CXXU2BPD6
Knox untripped.
EDIT: This seems to be a rule: it always crashes when I get to 32% of adding a fingerprint lock.
Here's an update:
Tried flashing other stock ROMs for other regions, still the same problem.
Flashed a custom kernel, still the same problem. -> Not a kernel problem
Flashed TWRP and used it for some time (to test if the phone will do the same). No problem whatsoever. I'm convinced that this is a firmware issue then.
Tried flashing every possible combination of everything. Nothing seems to have any effect. This isn't a software problem.
It's probably a faulty motherboard. The rebooting subsided though.
I'd also like to add that the S Pen holding area (the place where the S Pen is kept inside the phone) has a specific electronic smell (kindda like the soldering smell, but not quite). Really weird.
I voided my warranty by flashing stuff, so I'll probably be looking at a motherboard replacement if anyone's wondering.
Do u have xposed install?
Nah.
I've been running the stock rom for 90% of the time.

U solved it already? Mine used to have this problem before but its xposed that cause (in my case :highfive
Still haven't.
I'm almost certain it's a faulty motherboard.
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!
