Hey guys I came across a very weird problem I can't seem to get my camera to work at all. I flash a jb ROM from awesome did full wipe and everything and it ran smooth but I wanted camera so I reverted to 0.0 jb rom and the camera is supposed to work but it didn't. I disabled and cleared cache both app and dalvik but still nothing. Then I wiped and flashed awesome darkunicorn 2.5 but still got no camera just a blank screen. I needed my camera so I reverted back to stock gb ROM but now camera nor video doesn't work at all. And also now skype doesn't let me sign in it stuck on loading screen. Any help will be greatly appreciated what so ever please I need some help! Thank you!

Just to be sure, when you say a "full wipe" you are including the system partition?
If all else fails, flash froyo PD15IMG.zip. If you used gfree to root, you won't lose S-Off. If you used root.sh it's still no big deal, because you can easily re-root. If it doesn't work on pure stock froyo, you likely have a hardware issue.
Yea, its almost religion for me to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik and format all partitions except sd card at least twice before I flash a Rom. I know ones have a preference but I'd try using 4ext. You have all wipe options in one place instead of having to jump around to other menus.

I do mean system partition and even copying sd and formatting it and then recopying files back. I just did the PD15 2.2.1 and still its blank.. I did however try flashlight which works perfectly fine but camera just goes blank and video also. tried using pudding camera app but still. so my camera is no more? maybe a file missing somehow? what are the necessary camera related files thats needed? Also why isn't skype working for me its just allows me to enter my info and then loads forever ( i know its side topic but i use skype since i dont have alot of minutes DAILY 24/7)

Sounds like you're screwed. If your camera won't work on anything, including pure stock, it's not a file.
Hopefully Jack_R1 will see this and help you out. He'll know.
Does skype do some kind of camera check that it's getting hung up on, maybe?
Awww man just when I'm on budget mode might need a new phone ugh. Thanks alot for the suggestions though I thought those would have worked for sure. I don't wanna give this phone up had it for barely a year now I guess it's time to find the next best cheap phone
Um idk if Skype is doing a camera check but doesn't this phone not support FCC on Skype by default until u allow it? Either way I'm def screwed
Edit: your right it was doing a cam check but I flashed darkunicorn 2.5 and it gave me the option to choose whether or not enable or not so I enabled first and it did hang but I cleared data forced close and didn't enable it and boom Skype works! Now I can live without a cam for another week lol thanks alot

I wish there was more I could do to help you, buddy. I'm really sorry your camera died.
Yeah I am too but thanks for your help I haven't completely given up yet though I saw something in the an ICS build by synthetic.nightmare which blackwing commented on a black camera screen. He stated that it needed the camera preview fix so I'll try to get into that and see maybe that may be idk I'm tugging at any/every lead I can get. Thanks once again for the help thus far man

Hi, i've bought an unlocked T-Mobile HTC Sensation and was running Android Revolution HD for Sensation gingerbread. my Camera app has suddenly stopped working... I've tried updating to latest ICS from Android Revolution HD 6.5.1 but still the camera is not working. when i start the app... the screen flashes and then again I'm back on the home screen. Strangely, when using application "mirror" it starts the front camera... and that is working fine... and i've tried multiple apps from market for back camera...but its not working using any of them... can you please help me out with this... any help in this would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks

this is weird did you tried other camera apps?
if its still not working then
do a superwipe and flash rom again and see(this method erases data ..so backp them before hand)
Similar problem, if i click the camera or camcorder icon the screen goes black, it either stays black until i take the battery out or it crashes and restarts?! Weird, cant use it to take pics in any other apps either. front camera is fine on skype though...!? everything is uptodate nothing was updated recently?! Anyone
(Im on stock)
This happened to me once when i was stock. I would do a battery pull and it would work again..but finally did a hard restore through recovery and cleared all the caches and that worked. Now im rooted and on energy GB rom and I have not had that problem anymore.
Just flashing a new rom did not help. I actually had to do a factory reset on the ROM as well..in the Setting/storage.
Never ran into this problem

Go to Task Manager>>Advanced>>All apps>>Find the Camera app and select it>>Force Close if it is running & then Clear Data.
This should fix it.
If not, get this app. Go to primary and secondary camera, & check if they both work.
If it works, then there's a problem with the stock app.
If not, there is either a problem with the camera or with camera access.
I would suggest reflashing your current ROM, since this seems to solve issues, many a time.
Try installing another pyramid
have you tried to download a special or customized pyramid from the sensation android development department and then tried out your 4g??? a customized pyramid + tweaks will allow the htc camera to work because the htc family usually creates htc's like as if they were real babies.. the htc's adapt to you and then little by little all the problems like "over-heating reset, camera faults and random keyboard touches" are common problems with the htc... installing a different pyramid or returning it for another new one will usually fix this..

As far as I can tell, your camera is not being detected.
I would recommend that you do this:
1>NANDROID backup
2>SuperWipe (it can be found in this post at the very end)
3>Re-install ROM (Remember to check MD5 before installing)
4>Check if the Camera works.
If not, then Super Wipe and restore your previous backup.
If it works, get back to me. (PM me if I don't reply)
If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

Look on your card are they still there? /sdcard/DCIM?
Consider copying data from card to PC, formatting card and then copying data back

I'm assuming it had something to do with Media Scanner not being given enough time to run properly. I've used both CM9 and CM10 and I have all pictures taken over the course of 1 year (with over 12-15 different roms) in the /sdcard/DCIM/Camera (or /DCIM/100ANDRO) folder.

Standard Camera app not found

you're flashing gapps-ics-20120429-signed? i think its for ICS, and you're using CM10 which is JB.
try gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Ur probably right, the weird part is that everything is running smoothly and as expected, but what has the camera to do with gapps?! Has it..
Anyway downloading now to test it, thanks

Try to full wipe also before flashing the rom and gapps if you encounter problem.
Wifi unable to start on build 20121206
I upgraded to cm-10-20121206-EXPERIMENTAL-saga-NK111 from the previous build cleared dalvik and cache, but found out that the WiFi is unable to start. Restarting several times led to no solution.
So i did a clean install of this same build after formatting dalvik, cache, and data: still the WiFi unable to start!!!
Anybody encountered this before, and any solutions for this strange behavior please?

ok, i have partially solved the problem..
this is how, if you have a stock rom of Froyo or Gingerbread:
You can dial at dial pad *#34971539# and then click in "Phone to CAM FW Write"
As i Read in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710010&page=2
if you have a Custom Rom of JB, ICS or another louncher you can write the camera Firmware following this post:

not so fast, the camera only worked like 10 minuts after i did this, got the warning again.. please could you help me! ((
Okay, here's what I'd recommend:
Take out your external SD card.
Put your phone into download mode and flash jscott30's return to stock (root) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27283140&postcount=1
Once done, test out your camera.
If it's working okay, shut down the phone and put the SDcard back in.
Test again.
If possible, stick with the rom for a day. Also, make sure you flash a kernel with CWM!
If all is good after a day and you want to move up to 4.2, remove the external SD card before flashing anything. You can put it back in once you're done flashing.
thanks, i sold it

Ok i have a tmobile sensation 4g.. last month, my back camera kept crashing after flashing a jb rom...so i restored to viperS rom and camera still won't work. I get a " cant connect to the camera" error. i even flashed back to stock and camera still won't work. even using an app called "Z-DeviceTest" shows a big red x, meaning it not working. But in the app the front camera is working and can even see myself. so i did a reset and then wiped dalvik and cache multiple times. Just now, the new camera i ordered, came in and i installed it; with the same error. Has anyone experience this problem? Do you have any ideas what could be going on. any help would be appreciated..

Downloaded this ROM from the second link. Thought it was a bad download, as it would go through all the setup but it seems to install just fine, but when the phone reboots, the phone process immediately crashes, can't set any accounts (accounts crash), keyboard crashes, etc. Not sure what I'm hitting wrong, I've downloaded it again, wiped cache/reset, wiped dalvik, install just the rom first, set permissions, reboot into recovery, run again, install all software (launcher, factory apps, etc), but they still manage to crash (especially phone so I get no data unless connected to wifi).
Any advice? Thanks in advance
I believe thereis an issue with wifi calling, need to look into this, see if all works when not installing this, well try wiping, flashing rom only, then go back in aroma and flash anything but the removed from stock stuff. Hopefully this will be fixed soon

I absolutely LOVE this rom. I got over the .phone crashing as it doesnt effect me much it seems just crashes twice on start-up and thats it. I didnt download wifi calling and it still crashes for me. But this is seriously otherwise the best rom ive ever used. Many kudos.
Yeah. I'm having the same problem too. Basically, the phone won't work. Everything just crashes. I hope they make a fix really soon. I love this ROM.
I find it weird that GO is the SLOWEST out of any roms I've tried...and even though I don't like it, stock isn't as bad as I thought - just has bad bloat. GO has chrashed even more than stock has, but after I just did a clean stock, its faster and both previous experiences....
