unable to initialize camera Problem

Hi all,
yeaterday I installed Nadavi HTC Camera cab file. the installation did not finished, it failed (however I see that the free space on the device is smaller now).
since then, the camera shows me "unable to initialize camera. failed to set up the camera device".
I tried:
to run it from windows/camera.exe
to put out the battary for 15 minutes
read all the related posts
installed the Nadavi_OLD_HTC_Camera_5_0_4_2915_00 - did not helped
is there any solution for this?
thanks,
Royi.

If all else fails you'll have to try a hard reset. Remember to back up all your contacts and messages first.

thanks for the respond.
is this the only solution for this issue?

I just done a hard reset, and it did not helped.
someone got another ideas?
i'm really sad about that one...

I would consider reflashing the phone with the same (or maybe a different/cooked) ROM; I'm positive that your problem is related exclusively to software.
Good luck!

i'm a newbe at this...
you got any guide or something like that for this procedure?
plus, what version do you recommend?

Just to rule out a bad ROM I'd flash the original 6.0 ROM first to verify that the camera indeed works. If not, then you must remove hardspl and send your phone to service. If it starts working again you can try the cooked 6.1 ROM again.

the problem is that i'm already using the original ROM.
I never installed a new rom.
my rom ver is:
1.25.405.1 WWE
radio:
1.58.21.23
Protocol ver:
25.65.30.04H
so, is it really needed to install the oroginal rom again?

If it's not modified, then it may worth taking your chance with the service.

you mean to send it to HTC?

someone? help!

I don't know the camera fix you applied, so I don't know that it was trying to do. But since you have not upgraded the ROM or changed the SPL to HardSPL I would send it in for repair if you are still under warranty.
If not, I'd try reflashing the original ROM if you can get it. That way you will reflash everything in case the camera fix overwrote something, but that I find quite unlikely, but it's your last best hope if you are out of warranty, unless you want to pay for a repair that is.

this is the cab I installed

thanks for helping me...

I flashed to udk7 diamond rom...it did not helped as well.
How can I check if this is a software issue or Hardware?

sorry for the nudging...but someone got any ideaz?

If you have tried both original and cooked ROMS, what do you think? I'd say it's obviously a hardware issue. Reflash original ROM and remove HardSPL and return the device to service.

I tried only to flash to udk7 ROM. is it worth a try to flash to the original one?

Yes, I'd certainly try the original too since it contains OS, radio and the whole lot.

Is your camera work one time or never ?
If never work just send the Phone to HTC or go to your operator ( SAB: Service After Buying ??? like SAV in france ?).
Have you try to flash with a new RADIO rom like 1.64.**.**
Where do you bought your phone ?

Same problem for me.
Send the phone to HTC. It's a hardware problem.
Don't try any flash o fixing. If the camera don't work after a hard reset, you have a motherboard problem.
Send it to HTC and they will change the board. I have now a new IMEI number.

Rom os upgrade frozen?

I upgraded the OS on my rom (I took a rom from the Jade forums and extracted xip and imgfs, a new 21728 OS) following http://www.bepe80.com/test/2/. It built everything ok and I followed the directions exactly. Except the only problem is when I flash it to my phone, the first screen comes up with the red text at the bottom, the console eMo text with the version and radio numbers, and then it freezes there and won't continue to boot. I can reflash via SDCard so I'm not worried about my phone. I just want to fix my ROM and upgrade it successfully. What did I do wrong? I need to get my rom to work. Please help? Any suggestions?

You can re-flash using the bootloader mode and USB or using SD Card, don't worry I think all chef's have created a non booting ROM. It's probably just a bad XIP port.

thanks for you help. did you read my post completely? Flashing isn't the problem. "I can reflash via SDCard so I'm not worried about my phone". But thanks for your help, I just need to know why the port was bad because I followed the tutorial exactly. Any suggestions? Is the video correct with porting xip? Or do you have to do something different for kaiser?

Try porting the XIP again. I'm not an expert on it. But Usually with cooking it's trial and error, try not to do everything at once. Do a step, cook a ROM, test it, try the next step and so on.
Good luck,

what part of new xip did you put in new rom? the only part of new os xip that you use is shared xip(msxipkernel), the rest is from your original kaiser rom.

UK Vodafone Magic Root & Rom summary/help.

OK just spent a significant amount of time reading your forums and im nearly there just wanted some clarification on rooting and choice of roms for a UK Vodafone Magic as there doesnt seem to be one collection of advice for UK voda's. Here's how I think it goes please correct me!!
1. Root using haykuro’s method and files in the wiki. (Did read a post about uk voda users then having to flash a rom because reboot didnt work fully.)
2. Update the SPL according to the same wiki article. This is where its hazy!!! I am now left with a rooted magic with stock rom, (ie uk voda in my case.) an updated spl, allowing me to now do a full nandroid backup of stock rom or only a backup of installed apps only???? See where im getting confused??
If I then choose to not flash a rom to my Magic I am now running my stock rom (or a haykuro rom.) but with the added bonus of it being rooted, which in-turn allows me to run those useful apps available in the store, bluex, setCPU etc???????
God am I going mad!!

You and me both I'm in exactly the same situation as you, with the same decisions to make and same questions. I personally wouldn't mind installing a stock ION rom (or maybe the Japanese version since I speak English/Japanese) but essentially would like to know what you would like to know! Before I change my SPL though, I'd like to know if I can back it up.

Thanks for the fast response, this is the wiki i was referring to in my original post a helpful guide it is but it still doesn't answer the question, after I complete all the steps listed. Which rom will be on my phone?? the original rom?? (Vodafone in my case) or the haykuro rom??

I haven't rooted mine yet either.
As a vetran of WMO I am a bit confused, but basically I think you can't root and keep your original Vodafone rom.
To do this, someone would have had to have produced a rooted version of this rom and no one has.
you can install the latest generic ion rom rooted.
if you want to go back to vodafone you'll have to find the rom.
The other annoying thing is that you can't do a rom backup without rooting it .... duh!
if I am wrong, someone please correct me!!

As i feared!! so the rom for rooting your magic also replaces the system with the haykuro ion rom. So as yet there is now way of keeping/backing up the original voda uk magic rom. (To revert back to at a later stage or if you f**k it up!!)
So this now leaves us uk voda magic users with the question which rom to go for which has the same functions as the uk voda rom. Ive read about the main ones ion r3 lite, nk02s htc beta 3, the rodgers and most recently the hero rom. Sounds like the community is really geting going!!
I am looking for :
1. wifi
2. bluetooth
3. 3G
4. Google sync
5. camera (as ive heard some roms dont support it.)
6. market (once again some roms with problems.)
7. superuser (obviously.)
8. Location
9. Voice is a bonus but not essential as uk voda does not have it
OK so i want it all lol, So far the Ion r3-lite looks the most suited but i cannot confirm the camera works so come on you clever ppl help us uk voda's out!!
Thx

but it appears you need to root before nandroid
and to successfully root, you need to install ion, otherwise it won't boot
isn't this catch 22 ?

Thanks Brian im probably going to give it a go tomorrow and go with the ion r3 lite rom to start!!
But once again to clarify you just pointed me to a link showing howto back up the rom by using the updated spl and nandroid backup function, to do this your magic must already be rooted and as you stated earlier by rooting the magic you will therefore replaced the vodafone rom with the ion rom. So a backup at this stage would be of the ion rom and not the stock vodafone rom. Am I correct???
If I get stuck i will be sure to take you up on your offer or further help. Thx

follow this:

whe you type in the command at stage 11, the phone should go into recovery mode and you should then see the option to backup you current rom. this will backup onto your storage card. if you dont see that option then DONOT update
Thanks

rooting your magic does not replace the user interface bit of the rom. You can root it without going to ION or anything else

OK colonel so you have a success you followed the guide at " http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Magic_Rooting "
................and didn't have a problem at the reboot command?? (So no need to revert to the follow on guide at " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524925 " which would mean having to replace the standard voda rom.)
So you now have a rooted uk voda magic running on the original rom?? As well as a backup of the original rom, meaning that you can now flash custom roms to your hearts content with the reassurance of being able to flash back to the original voda rom if you should wish.

indeed - exactly as you say
I had no issue with the rebooting problem mentioned elsewhere
although I don't intend on running a custom rom yet.
I did it purely to get root access, inititially to follow superxnova's excellent guide to get other language fonts (I wanted hebrew):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480964
** Make sure you select the option to make a backup after the command typed in step 11 **
One other thing I would say, the instructions are precise until step 14&15
instead of doing step 14 & 15 I went into fastboot mode by - step 10 (then back button), typed the command in step 11,then pressed update. After update i selected reboot.
not sure if that made any difference as "home + power" does the same thing

3g Gone
Hi - i've managed to root today and to install the new some new roms - thanks to all of the wonderful advice here. One thing I have noticed is that I lose my 3g capability with any rom apart from my original vodafone rom. I'm not too bothered as I can restore from a nandroid backup. Would be nice to be able to use the SuperHero v2 build i've currently got working (apart from the 3g).
Thx.

you probably need to refresh the apn
do some searching to find out how
I have to say, i am not in a rush to change the vodafone rom
its pretty fast and unbranded.
When I had a winmo I was keen to get a new rom for speed and newer builds/features, but don't really feel the need now
perhaps i will later!

[Problem]No Sound at Esmertec JBed.

Hello everyone, I'm having a huge trouble at playing java games on my S710. All games works with no sound. No matter the instalation file, when I install any game, sound is never played. Can anyone help me? I've tried a lot of Esmertec JBed versions, tried Hard Reset by software, but the problem remains. Please help me, I really use java apps.
Thanks

i too had the same problem for quite long. Everytime i did a hard reset, i restored the whole data and tried java but the sound never came back.
but later i figured out that is was because of Q9 real player media files plugin. I uninstalled it and java had sound again.
in your case also it might be because of some third party software. u can try uninstalling softwares one by one and checking java after each uninstall. Hope it works!

Man, I think you're right. Sometimes, when Windows Media is in use, the apps sound comes back. But How would i Uninstall Windows Media Player? Can it be done?

no its not the media player, it is some third party codec such as q8 which i used to play rm files in my phone! have u installed any of such codec?

No, didn't installed any other codecs. The only program unusuall installed is Adobe FlashLite, and other modifications are only Windows Live Messenger and Office Update.

try a hard reset and install a java game, without installing any other software. I think u will get sound then. BTW which rom do u use?

My phone stills with it's original ROM. I'm afraid off doing something wrong while trying to update it. But I'm thinking about updating it for Windows Mobile 6.1, can you recomend me any Rom?
The Rom Installed is Windows CE, Version 5.20 (Compilation 1238)

if u want to update, u can update the 6.1 by Dr. Gonzo or any of the 6.5, either FM's or FB's. but first of all u should backup all your data and read this thread. It has all flashing instructions contained in it.
and one more thing after successfully flashing your rom and before installing any other software, try installimg a java game, i think u will get game sound back!!!

Also make sure Vox is not SIM locked (i.e. locked to a specific carrier). But if you hard reset your device, nothing can go wrong (possibly ), but do it only after a full charge .

Yes, if your phone is sim locked then, in order to upgrade to an unofficial ROM, you will have to buy an unlock code from jockeyw after the upgrade. Everyone here with sim locked phones have to do the same. Once you have bought an unlock code , you will never have to buy it again. You more info u can click here

m32 is correct. simlocked phone will only refuse sims from other operators. But still if you flash you will have to get your phone sim unlocked!
And if you read and follow the instructions carefully, then there is nothing to be afraid of flashing.

Well, I tryed to sim unlock my Vox, but now I have another huge problem. I went to my phone operator(TIM Brazil) but my phone could not be unlocked cause it's previous owner inserted more then 7 wrong unlock codes, now I have to send my phone for HTC Assistance =/.

is your phone covered in warranty? If yes, then i think you should give your phone to them. So far i have seen that HTC have best customer support regardless of what the problem is. U can also contact jockeyw first, he might help you with the problem. I cant suggest much with regard to 'sim locking' since i dont have a sim-locked device!

How do you flash new rom to the Arrive

I've flashed my palm pre with ease. I've also done the same to my Samsung Transform. There have always been guides on how to do so. I'm having trouble finding any guide on how to flash a custom rom to my Arrive. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

first: you are going to need to install HSPL. when you reboot with holding down the "volume - " button, what shows up as the SPL? 1.x? good, install the HSPL, anything higher? you'll have to downgrade.
Once you install the HSPL, it is as simple are running the RUU updater from ansar or the DFT rom
here is the HSPL

and here is the SPL downgrader

Those roms are horrible to download. Terribly slow and often lose the connection. I finally got both of them after several hours of retrying. Trying the anasr rom first

in my opinion the DFT rom is a bit better. Ansar's would not allow updating the PRL, and would also throw an error on reboot. DFT is running smoothly on mine for the past week.

I'm running the "DFT Freedom Gold_C V1 for Sprint"

if I am reading things right I need to run the rom upgrade utility to downgrade my spl to version 1.xx from the current 4.xx but I can't get the ruu to work, I keep getting error 260 connection. Any idea what I am doing wrong? The readme file says to reset the device and or the computer, which I've tried but still get the error.
Also, if I restore my phone to nodo will that accomplish the same thing (downgrade to spl 1.xx)?

you should only have to run the utility to downgrade the SPL. When you boot up the phone into the bootloader by holding down "Volume -" on boot, do you get the "Serial" at the bottom?
When you plug into your PC, does it change to "Usb" for that same line?

It does say serial at the bottom but it doesnt change when I connect it to the pc, if it is already connected to my pc when I boot into bootloader mode it does say usb though.
edit: I figured it out, apparently the driver didnt install

so, I've successfully flashed my arrive to the dft freedom rom and I love it (especially enabled internet sharing) but now I have a noobish question. Is the rom updateable? (through Zune or otherwise) or will I have to flash again and reload all my apps and contacts in order to apply an update?

This is why I've been holding off flashing. I haven't NEEDED the ICS yet and I was worried whether or not it would take updates. So I was going to wait until an update started pushing and see what everyone else experienced.......

Honestly, I'm not sure. But the chances of sprint pushing out any more updates is pretty low. 7720 is a very old build, you'd think that they would have done an update since then.

I currently have the stock Rom on the HTC Arrive on Sprint. For those of you that have done it, is it worth putting in a custom ROM?

I just finished flashing dft gold_c v1 rom on my arrive that I got today. I'm liking it a lot so far and it seems faster than stock rom. I like the additional apps and being fully unlocked for loading whatever I want. I'm brand new to the arrive but the flash went smoothly.

Awesome! I want to be able to backup all of my SMS messages before I do it though. Is that possible without the custom ROM?

Was unable to save my SMS without a custom ROM so I did it anyway. so far everything is working great. I'm using DFT Freedom Gold_C V1.
Anyone know the differences between the DFT Freedom Gold and Ansar's ROM ?

I haven't tried Ansar's rom yet since there were issues with the prl and network update functions. Now that he has a new tango version out that fixes it, I may try it soon. It will be hard to leave the dft rom because it works perfectly for me and I have it all set up the way I want it. The few added features of tango may make me switch though...like video mms.
