Camera failed ? - Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development

I occasionally I get "Warning - camera failed" error message on my new i9001. It clears up only if I reboot it. I'm running stock 2.3.3 firmware with no extra software installed yet besides being rooted with KeksKlip's method (I guess that has nothing to do with it).
Anyone experienced this problem ?

I suggest you flash manveru0's FeaMod CWM kernel and take a full backupp of your current system. Then flash another ROM. If the problem appears again, restore the backupp and go to claim your warranty

I am not a dev. I've never said anything refering to that.
If he does what i said he can make sure whether its hardware or software problem. The backup incase its due to hardware. Restore and then to the service.

[Q] Bricked my device! Help

I was using my Samsung Galaxy mini ( GT-S 5570) and was using ROM manager (free) on it.
When it asked for my device.. In my desperation I chose Huawei Pulse mini. No problem. After that.. I selected 'Back up current ROM'
When I did that my phone's screen went blank.
I could not boot. I took the battery out and tried. No success.
So I connected it to my PC. The Samsung Kies software detects the phone but cannot identify it so can't upgrade firmware or anything.
I have tried all combinations to boot into recovery mode. No success.
Is there any way I could get my phone back?
Help! I really need this!

No other way? I really don't wanna do that. :\
Plus.. I had rooted my phone. My warranty is void.
I think you are kinda screwed..
Warranty void, I dont think theres a way to fix this on your own
Is there an equivalent of download mode and ODIN/Heimdall flashable stock ROM for your device?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S variant - T-Mo Vibrant, and the download mode + heimdall took me and a few of my friends out of a tight corner quite a few times.
I have the exact same problem. Odin detects my phone..but when i tried doing a pone package install, it gets stuck at "connection setup...".
I experienced the same thing as you experienced, already three days I tried to solve the problem but still can not, sha no intention to go to him tomorrow samsung sad day my heart
Get a phone insurance, then dump it in the bath for half an hour
Jokes aside, if you were able to do a quality brick, perhaps they might not be able to find out what happened?
What do you guys think about that, can he get his phone fixed under warranty
hi...
i have a Galaxy Mini S5570 or Pop.
after i used Rom Manager and backup ROM, i figured i had chose the wrong ROM
and overwrite on my ROM.
Now my phone in bad Hard Brick.
no response, cannot combo and always black.
i been searching high and low for solution and tried many.
also done the soldering part but still cannot.
could someone tell me what should i do?
my only solution is send back to Samsung service?
please let me know. appreciate and thanks.
but i guess the last resort is to send to samsung.
because once you accidently flash a rom not meant for the phone.
the hardware may work abnormal way that cause the hardware shorted
or damage.
then this damage is not revisible.
therefore only solution is to change the damage part....
now waiting for tomorrow to get the phone back from local phone repair,
and send to samsung.... no choice.
or.... if anyone have new method / attempt to try on my own???
I have the same problem.TT
use this link.. may help you...

Well that's the reason why you need to read first and set your expectations that this might happen... If you read and carefully understand the methods of rooting/installing custom roms then you will be safe.

Phone bricked after "successful" CWM restore

Hi guys, I need some help here. I'm not new to this at all and have rooted TONS of phones for people and myself. Something strange just happened though. I was attempting to flash a ROM (specifically Energy HD 2.0) through CWM. The flash was unsuccessful, which happens at times, so I thought "no big deal, I'll just do a quick restore and try again or try a different one". I chose the backup I wanted to restore to, it did the restore, it said it completed successfully, so I chose reboot. When I looked at it again I realized I never saw the boot animation or anything so I checked it.....dead. The phone wouldn't boot, wouldn't go into recovery, nothing. I've pulled the battery several times, tried both the stock recovery and CWM and I get nothing but a black screened brick. I don't even get the Samsung logo. I have no idea what I could have done here. I attempted the method in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030. The only problem there is that I can't even get my device to go to downloading mode. I literally does nothing at all. When I connect to the PC, I get the sound of a USB device being connected, but no access to it and as far as I can tell the PC doesn't even see it. ODIN does nothing either because the device doesn't show up (it was showing up before). I'd really appreciate any help anyone can give on this as this is a brand new phone and I'd hate to think I bricked it beyond recovery somehow. Thanks in advance!
Your bricked because you flashed a rom on your verizon S3 for an international s3 variant. It's amazing you even got far enough to attempt a restore, but the damage was already done, as your nandroid was trying to run on an already corrupted system. You're up the Creek there my friend, sorry. There are links to a company that fixes them for $60, I can't remember the name, so I can't post the link, but will if I do.

Wow. I seriously can't believe I did that. No more flashing when I'm wasted... :cyclops: Glad I'm still in the 14 days and I can swap it out as DOA. If I can't turn it on to check it, they can't either.
Wow, glad I haven't made that mistake yet. I can see how easy it would be though.
Friends don't let friends flash fried. Good lesson in there somewhere 8 guess.
Alcohol + cell phone + boredom = brick.
The only reason it happened is because instead of going straight to the XDA Android dev thread for the phone like I normally would to find a ROM, I googled "best ROM's for GS3" and the list I got apparently was written by someone overseas (I now realize looking back at the article). I just clicked a link to one of the ROMs that looked cool and the link was actually to XDA anyway so I felt fine about the whole thing. Until my phone bricked that is...

Yes, committing fraud when you made a mistake yourself it the right thing to do.
Man up and pay to get it Jtagged imo. If you can't afford to get it Jtagged, you shouldn't be flashing ROMS.
Things like this are probably the reason the bootloader was locked in the first place.

I say you needed to use the g2x android development forums on this site to find a suitable jb rom, not this other site. The one click method isn't very stable, so nvflash is most definitely what you need to try to get working. There are very thorough tutorials on how to get that to work. Do you know which clockwork recovery version you have installed? Should be 5.0.2.0. Once you get home, I suggest you read read read. Do as much research you can to make sure you can follow nvflash instructions to the letter. I know I personally spent about a week researching to make sure I had a solid understanding of the procedure.
I recommend getting nvflash going to get clockwork properly installed, then download a rom from xda, nowhere else. I would even say use a gb rom before trying a jb ...the jb roms are hackfest versions, so they have (from my experience) much poorer battery life, and lack hardware acceleration. Netflix and many 3d games won't work. You can use adampk or mazout's roms but they don't have working radio, i.e. no phone/SMS functionality.

Boot into recovery, there should be an option to format or wipe system. Do that then flash the ROM. It won't boot if you flash it over stock.
Also, use the paranoid android rom found in the development section, same cyanogenmod base but works better.

Ok, wait I think I understand what you're saying now. If you can, pm the op of that thread you used to unbrick. Ask that person if you need some kind of different file in that .zip file to work on your carrier.
I remember having to use that guide to get back to stock. Glad to see you're making progress. I know it can be frustrating when devices get wacky. Good luck!

Touchscreen not working after root, but S-Pen works fine

I posted this somewhere else, but I figured it was more appropriate to place it here.
After rooting and installing CWM using the method in the sticky at the top of the development section, (darkman's unnoficial CWM Recovery), My touchscreen no longer responds to finger input. The pen works fine, and is the only way I can navigate the tablet. Touch input doesn't work in CWM-touch either. I have tried: flashing a custom rom, flashing a stock rom through CWM, flashing stock firmware through Odin (both 4.0.4 and 4.1.2), resetting the triangle count, factory wipe/data reset, re-installing stock recovery, and changing various options in the settings. Nothing helped at all. I'm currently waiting for a reply on filing a warranty claim, but would really like not to have to send it in and wait for a new one. I've seen other people with similar issues, but most of them are either the s-pen doesn't work, or both s-pen and touch don't work. Does anyone have any idea of how to fix it, or is it definitely a hardware issue?
Thanks,
Reffu
Hi,
same issue here. Today the touchscreen stopped working suddenly after i flashed the Android Revolution HD 5.0 Rom yesterday. However, the S-Pen is still working fine. Installing other ROMs and the Stock ROM via Odin did not help. Issue allso appears in Touch-enabled-Recovery.
I see no reason, why this should be a hardware issue, although my N8000 came back from service a few days ago, where they also replaced the screen and digitizer.
Had anyone this issue before and was abled to resolve it?

I have the same problem on an n8013. Installed Revolution ROM HD version 5, rebooted and lost me touchscreen completely. Nothings worked. Flashed back to stock 4.1.2 but still no go.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
to read this as a Note 10.1 newbie is not very encouraging. are there any similar facts between all of you like
which Note model do you have
how did you jaibreak (which method)
which rom did you have before
which rom do you have now
how did you flash a new rom
...
is there a way to find out whether the touchscreen is really "dead for touch"?
This is a bit scary - my Note 10.1 is arriving today, and I plan to root it at a minimum. I actually don't mind Touchwiz all that much on my Note 2 (which is running CleanROM ACE), so I think I might just root the 10.1 for now.
So restoring completely back to stock (via Odin) doesn't fix it? That is really odd that ROM-ing this thing might cause a hardware failure...

Did anyone solve this, I'm having the same problem.
I never actually ended up solving this. I sent it in for repair (I had just bought it about a week before attempting to root) after flashing back to stock, and now I have a "new" one . I really want to root it, but I'm afraid the same thing is going to happen again. I really don't want to have to check if the warranty will cover the same issue twice, even if they don't know I rooted.

Just curious - did you just root, or did you root and install a ROM?
I am only rooted so far - haven't felt the need to ROM yet - partially due to worries about this happening. I bought a refurb from Best Buy and only get 90 days of warranty.

If they say you got a new one, you got one. They'll tell you otherwise if there's an issue over the phone.
But I wouldn't be afraid of ROMs, but to be more diligent and wise when it comes to choosing them. It's like choosing a poisonous mushroom versus an edible one to make stroganoff or stir fry. If you know what to avoid for the next time and follow the correct process to doing the root and flashing, there will not be an issues.
This is from someone who has soft-bricked my first tablet and learned how to unbrick my SIM-less Captivate and Note 10.1. It's how you apply the method and how much attention you practice not getting stuck into these situations is what matters. Especially since I bricked my tablet via experimentation and un-bricked it on the same day with ease.
It's not some big complex deal of rocket science or something only the mere geniuses can do, its how you perceive yourself and how you act. If you believe that you will suck and brick it to kingdom come , it will happen intentionally or subconsciously.
In this case, it was a freak accident where the file/s accessed and deleted the wrong files which allowed for capacitive touchscreen use, and it should be reported to x developers if you have not done so already.
I have rooted and used the Revolution HD rom, the Rom where you customize the colors of the bar/other things, and on the Captivate, the AOKP Collective. I further customized the latter with the Xperia launcher as it zips.
Did anyone find a repair for this besides replacement? My Note 2 is doing the same thing now.
Has anyone found a fix for the touch screen not working yet??
Anyone have any ideas?
Technicians input for touch problem
I am a technician and been repairing electronic devices for over 30 years and I would say the majority of repairs I have done were caused by people not happy with how their standard brand new device works and feel they need to make it better by modifying it in some way or other.
Now with smartphones if you didn't want the device as a standard rom and operating system why buy it ?
If you think the phone would be so much better with a modified rom then buy one working with a modded rom to start with as most of you put as much effort into modding as you did in your school work.
Anyone with half a brain that follows the instructions on the mod sites exactly as shown step by step will never have a problem, all those that do end up with paper weights or bricks didn't follow the instructions in numerical order.
Believe it or not even if after you have modded a rom and brought it back to standard they know it has been modded as they have a list of problems associated with repairs after roms have been modded so you are only fooling yourself they don't.
Same as the smoker that tells his Dr he has given up even though all the symptoms prove he really didn't.
So in my expert opinion if you play with modding and stuff it up why should you be eligible for a warranty claim ? The manufacturer has sold you or supplied a working item that you decided to f_ck around with and because of your stupidity expect some one else to pay for it.
I am not saying don't mod your phone with all the great roms out there but please to save yourself a lot of pain and cost some poor smuck trying to run a business in these economic times a lot of out of pocket from sending items back for replacement or warranty plus the time it takes to do all the paperwork and such, please please please read the instructions 300% or triple check you are doing everything exactly as the instructions say and you will be enjoying all the new benefits of that customised rom and laughing at all the noobs stuffing up their brand new device from not doing so.
I know this won't fix your problem but reread that last bit it was your problem as you are to clever to follow some one else's instructions
anyone have solution regarding this issue, mine have issue also, can anyone spare how to fix it without changing hardware?

Hi,
The best thing you can do is go back to the shop and tell them to fix it. It could be your only hope.
Here is a very informative thread for your device. Read the first few pages, and you may need to try reverting to stock... That is covered in post number 3.

Ask any questions on any of that in the thread above.
Really though, I suggest asking the shop to fix it if you feel it was their fault, before messing with it yourself.
Good luck!
ummmmmmmmmm so what if i install back the stock firmware would that make it imei fix or the wifi to work?
Maybe, but unless you previously backup up your efs folder, which could be used to restore your imei, There's nothing much else you can do.
Flash stock, if it doesn't work, you likely need a service center.
Unfortunately that's about it. If you feel the shop messed it up, demand they fix it. That's your best option I'd say.
Ask in the thread I linked if you'd like other possible ideas.
Again, I hope it works out! ?

Also note the updated link I posted, the first link was not the correct one.
just one last one quest ... what if i use galaxy_s unlock and galaxsim unlock to back up ma eps folder would that be a good thing ? because when i open ma eps folder on ma device i see : wifi , imei etc .. when open them i see files in those folders
I would ask that in the thread I linked to find out from the experts who own your device. ?
after flashing my rom to stock firmware ... i got my wifi working ... but when i check my imei it says " //00 and my bluetooth addresss is unknown
Please ask for help in the thread I linked.
