After about 5-7 seconds of recording in 720p I was getting recording failed problems every time. It wasn't doing that before or at least not very often until recently. So I decided to update the camera firmware. I go to the camera firmware update screen by dialing *#*#34971539#*#* I selected phone to CAM FW Write and I go to update the firmware to version 2.0.3 it downloads up to 225/253 pieces then stops and says the update is a success, then it tells me to reboot. I reboot the phone with the volume down and power button, and I find out the camera firmware isn't installed properly. Now under camera info it is displaying.

I don't remember exactly what it said before but I know it said something different. The rear facing camera is now messed up and displaying green. This is happening with all the different camera apps that I tried on the market. I also did a factory reset, cleared the cache and wiped the data. Still I'm getting the same problem. The camera info is displaying the same thing to so I know for a fact that the factory reset didn't reset everything. Maybe someone here who has the same phone can help me out by dialing *#*#34971539#*#* and going to "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check." Tell me what it says if you don't know how to directly fix the problem. If someone here does know how to fix the problem it would be helpful though. I'm rooted and I'm currently running stock Froyo 2.2.1 if that helps.
Once I figured out how to root and flash with the Infuse, I didn't waste much time at all staying on Froyo. However, I've had video recording issues that ended up being caused by the kernel. I suppose it's possible that it could be an issue with the Froyo Community Kernel (I'm guessing/assuming that's how you rooted). Any particular reason you'd not want to just back up your apps and upgrade to Gingerbread?

I'm rooted and on gingerbread 2.3.6 now actually. It didn't fix the camera, but I'm able to go into the camera firmware settings and it's now showing

Every time I try to flash the firmware now it says "firmware update failed try again." I read somewhere that you have to remove the camera before doing a camera firmware update. I opened the phone up and it doesn't look like the camera can easily be removed and put back in.

I hate to keep harping on the same thing, but I'm not so sure it's a camera firmware issue, and you may be making a mountain out of a mole hill. If you happened to upgrade with Heimdall, and you're not already running one of them, it may be worth trying one of the kernels in this post, for ****s and giggles:

I've never had any issue with the camera, aside from what was caused by a kernel, so aside from that advice, I've nothing else to offer. Good luck.

I'm having problems trying to get my ffc to work. When I try to switch it in the camera app it just closes. I can't get it to work with Skype or qik either.
You caught me at a good time for this.
I just restored my primary backup from Clockworkmod, the one I made right after getting root and superuser access.
I tried again the camera, using the stock camera app, both front and rear facing and was able to take pictures without issue.
I switched to video mode and recorded video from both front and rear camera's as well without a problem.
I'm interested in learning more about the stock camera.apk and how it works, so tell me some more about your problem.
Did you S-OFF and root your device?
Have you removed any system apps that came pre-installed?
Have you downloaded any new apps from any marketplace, or sideloaded any onto the device?
Have you rebooted and tried again?
Have you had any other problems with your device?
Any other info you can think of that would help post it up here, and i'll see what I can find out for ya.
I have s-off and rooted it. I flashed the deodexed rom in the development section. I removed almost all bloatware. This problem has been going on even before I used the s-off tool and rooted
Given that information, it's possible that you could have a hardware problem. The fact that you say this was an issue before you did anything to the device suggests that.
I haven't messed with the deodexed rom yet, so i'm not sure what your file system looks like - might be possible that your camera.apk file was corrupted before you rooted it, maybe replacing it with a new copy is something worth looking into.
I'm not sure if the people not running the deodexed version could send you a proper camera.apk file now, any thoughts on this?
Alrighty.. This phone has caused me so much time and trouble, I finally decided to start a thread. I really cannot find an answer for my problems by surfing...
In the beginning, all was great. Then I wanted to root my phone...
I went here and followed these instructions to root initially.

(Stock Gingerbread OTA 2.3.3 Rooted)
I started to have problems:
-WIFI kept shutting off upon sleep. I depend on WIFI because I only have a 200MB plan..
Also, I have low signal in my apartment, so I use wifi calling very frequently. After about 10 minutes, wifi calling disables itself.
SO, I wanted to UNROOT. The link that said 'UNROOT' did not work..
Next, I used this link to unroot..

I returned to stock froyo OS. BUT i still wanted gingerbread!! I tried to use the LG update desktop tool, but it kept on saying that 'the phone was already up to date.'
SO, I ended up 'installing from zip' the backup that was made before I downgraded to froyo.. Unfortunately, this left me back at square one: A rooted gingerbread.. Exactly where I was before.
I went to this link next.

I used the 'UNROOT ZIP', and it unrooted it!!
Seems perfect right??
BUT, ever since I did that, my GPS doesn't work. It is unable to pick up my location.
I tried to 'restore to stock' using BOTH the option while the phone is on, and using the 'clockwerk mod' (Where you hold power and the down button).
I just want things to go back to the way they were.
I'm hoping that I can just have a NORMAL 2.3.3, with GPS working, and everything back to the way it was before I started this whole 'root' journey..
Thank you so much ahead of time for taking the time to help me. Your 5 minutes could save me hours..
try restoring to stock, 2.2.2, then get the LG Updater tool to "Recovery Phone" which is at "Customer Support" and the last one, enter your phone model, and serial number, and it should recover it to stock with no problems for you. Good Luck.
Wifi is suppose to shut off on sleep mode unless you configure it not to.

I will try this now.
Thanks. Hopefully it works.
It still says 'Update not required' after I use the recovery version.
It is saying that because just flashing 2.2 you are still on the July baseband which is telling the software you are on the latest. You should be able to find a stock nandriod in the forum somewhere to flash Gingerbread stock.
Go to Wireless and networks > Wifi > hit menu > Wifi sleep policy > never.

I was unable to find such a thread. I decided just to root it and go with the 'eagle' and deal with random problems..
However, the front facing camera keeps on stretching the picture..
Any thoughts?
FFC issues are common on non-stock roms trying to use LG camera instead of Android stock camera. Rooting your phone cannot cause wifi issues, etc. unless you made some errant changes to system files. Rooting does nothing but allow you or programs to get what is called in the Linux world SuperUser permissions. It allows you or the program to change or do anything it wants and removes the restrictions placed on the handset by the manufacturer and/or Google. All the rooting process does is add two files to your system and set the proper permission for su to be able to become root. The SuperUser.apk is the gateway to root. It is there to protect you from malicious programs getting root, as you have to approve all root access requests. It is actually very safe unless you do something stupid.

So my nexus 5's camera stopped working with the error "cannot connect to camera" It's stock unlocked running android 5.0. I tried rolling back to 5.0 from 5.0.1 to try and solve this problem and it didn't work. I've tried other apps and nothing can seem to connect to the camera. The phone was not dropped recently so I can't imagine what it could be. Any thoughts?
Much appreciated!
Did u tried resetting via factory image?
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
But beware of the script's settings. Internal memory gets deleted too if you don't edit the batchfile and remove -w
Code:
fastboot [COLOR="Red"]-w[/COLOR] update image-hammerhead-lmy47i.zip
If that doesn't help, its a hardware fault.
Don't know if this has been solved or not, but just recently bought a brand new N5 for the wife, unlocked it, and put a MM custom rom on it. Everything works great except for the camera giving this "can't connect" error. A reboot will temporarily fix it, but I was searching this forum to see if anyone had ever found a permanent fix. Most of the searches have mentioned unchecking Trusted Face, but the rom I'm running doesn't seem to have that. Not sure what else to try at this point. Has anyone else found a better solution yet?
Hello,
Today I attempted to make the Zero Camera Mod work. I purchased it a while ago but never got it working on Android Nougat. I figured, now that I have Android Oreo, I might give it a try again.
After a few attempts, it completely screwed up my camera.
The app recommends you to flash the zip it creates in TWRP, so I did just that. However, upon flashing, TWRP gave me a bunch of errors, mostly related to being unable to mount /data.
When I booted into the phone again, the entire camera app was gone, couldnt open it by double tapping the power button either.
I figured, let's try to flash the same zip in Magisk. So I did succesfully flash that zip in Magisk, only upon rebooting, it didn't seem to have applied correctly as everything was at default settings. However, I did get my camera app back so that was a relief.
I then started flashing different zips that the Camera Mod app created, trying to get the mod to work. This however, I should not have done. I now can't open the camera app anymore without the app crashing. When I open the camera app, everything is completely streched out, aswell as it's rotated as if I'm holding my phone horizontally even though I'm holding it vertically. Also none of the UI elements are visible. When I remove the module in Magisk, it's back to not having a camera app at all, same goes for removing the Mod in the Zero Camera Mod app.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix my camera again, WITHOUT having to just reflash the firmware?
PS. I should mention that the camera itself is not screwed up, just the camera app. If I take a photo with, lets say snapchat or whatsapp, it works fine.
Yeasterday I had a similar problem. After modding the camera and rebooting the camera icon completely had completely gone away. I know it's a pain in the ass, but best thing you can do is to flash the firmware back to stock again (or at least flash a custom ROM).
I tried the zero camera mod with stock rom with custom kernel (did not work) and with Renovated Ice rom (worked).
In my experience, I could say the new version of Zero CameraMod doesn't work with custom kernels (I had NK), as I could not even restore the stock camera with the zero camera app. I love zero camera mod (also bought it) but I think we must waitn until the developer could fix compativility issues that we're all reporting.
1. Dirty flash the OS.
or
2. Use one of your TWRP backups, and return to pre-camera mod.
Quick, simple, and effective.
After OnePlus 7 Pro release, I had installed the stock camera from APK Mirror. Later upon experimenting with it found that under pro mode even with 5 seconds shutter speed I was unable to capture Long exposure photos like I used to. Reverted to Stock 3.0.16 it works, on v3.2.99 its just saves the first frame. Is anyone else having the same issue. I had cleared cache and storage post installation of the new camera and still get the same results.
Try the new 3.3.8, and if it doesn't work then go back to 3.0.16, cuz i think those apk arent really made for the op6 or maybe it'a a firmware problem that needs to be updated( each apk comes with a specific firmware in the update i guess and sometimes there is no need for a new firmware update )
