[Q] Camera not working (Samsung Galaxy SL i9003) - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Hello experts.
i am having a problem using my camera in galaxy SL (GT-i9003).I know how the problem occurred but i don't know how to solve it.
Well i came across those secrets codes for samsung mobiles and as a newbie i went through all the codes and checked what they did.
The problem occurred when i tried this code " *#*#34971539#*#* - Detailed camera information "
i accidentally clicked on some option to update camera firmware.It said updating suddenly. I didnt knew how to cancel it then the camera stopped working after the reboot.
My phone was running the official value pack DDLF2 firmware and rooted.
I flashed the same firmware again hoping that the problem would be solved and rooted it again. I opened the camera application and it opened and thought it was solved ....**i actually dont remember if it actually worked**
After that i installed cyanogenMod 10.1 from sd card. Then whilw using it i realized the camera was not working ...
Can i solve the problem??
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i forgot to mention one thing when i switch to secondary camera it works.i can click every thing on the sceen
>settings
>mode
etc.
The screen is just plain blank when using the primary (main) camera secondary camera can still take pictures.
and one more thing before this problem occurred there used to be only one folder inside the DCIM folder
i.e DCIM>Camera
but now there is another folder also named 100AND
GT-I9003 users can u please provide me with what u seen using this code(dont click on "YES" if something pop ups)
*#*#34971539#*#*
these are my results i just want to compare with some one.
>Phone/CAM FW ver Check
result: CAMERA FIRMWARE INFO

I have something to ask.
When i go to Applications>manage applications>All
there us a application "Camera firmware" its of size 0.00B and when i look at other applications for example "Contacts" is also of size 0.0B
now after using
*#*#34971539#*#*
these are the options we get
>Phone/CAM FW ver Check
>Phone to CAM FW Write
>ISP Ver Check
>FW Write Count
>CAM FW Cal Check
>CAM to PHONE FW Dump
When i choose "Phone to CAM FW Write"
FW UPDATE 2.03
Are you sure you want to update?
YES NO
this box pops up
when click YES update process starts
this is what damaged the camera at the first place.
As i have read through other forums this changes the firmware.
now after a restart when this update finishes.....
the "Camera firmware" app which i mentioned above shows a size of 4.00 KB
seems that the Phone to CAM FW Write option makes changes to this app.
Now my question is that cant it be solved if this app is taken out from the rooted phone whose camera is not damaged (original firmware). And i could replace the existing one with original app. This might get it solved.......
I want to give it a try just need the app to replace can some one please help me with this file

As i know, making clean install will remove every thing in the phone except the efs folder (the pit file will reparation the internal memory to create the system, data, cache ...partitions )
but if you insist here is my DDMF1 Camera.apk app (replace it with /system/app/Camera.apk file)

running on cm 10.1 rom now.
still there is problem. now i cant even use the front camera.
sry but i refuse to believe its a hardware problem cause it appeared after i clicked yes on cam fw update before that never had any kind of problem wid the cam.
i have decided to leave it alone until a solution hits the internet. given too much of my time for this.
anyways thank u for ur help.

hey bro, try flashing froyo stcok roms
some users reported that they fixed the issue by flashing same rom several times, but for others the problem remains unsolved...so it's really hard issue
I think codes can brick the phone's hardware...like overclocking the CPU to very high frequencies
anyway good luck!

well yes i read that too.
i falshed DDLF2 rom several times now.
i want to ask you some thing after the flashing process finishes and below PASS message there are numbers (RATIOS)
like
2:2
1:59
2:1
2:3
what does these numbers mean???
this are examples of numbers i got while flashing.
Now i am getting 2:2 below the message for the last 4 times i tried.
does these number mean something?
may be there is some relation between the solution to the problem and number of times to flash related with these numbers?

I did this way:

2) Install zip (with SD)
3) Run
4) If there is bootloop - make wipe again and run.

weird problem after installing new rom

i've tried searching for my current problem but doesn't seem to get a good match. (damn this site is BIG.)
i really apologize if i overlook it, or my searching skills really suck.
here's my problem:
i've been trying to install this new rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854 to my galaxy SII.
after installing i have this problem of not being able to switch on my wi-fi.
also there's a problem with storage.
if i go to settings > storage (under device). a pop up appear saying "unfortunately, Settings has stopped". then there's options 'Report' and 'OK'.
i restarted everything again, reinstalled everything again and came up with the same problem
this is my phone info:
model: GT-I9100
android version: 4.0.4
baseband: I9100XXLPS
kernel version: 3.0.15-I9100UHLPK-CL390451
[email protected] #3
build number: IMM761_RR
resurrection version: resurrection remix ics v.2.6 by westcrip
i followed these instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
download the latest one (I9100XWLPM)
after that followed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
download this file: CF-Root-SGS2_UH_UVC_LPK-v5.5-CWM5.zip
after rooting, i then install the new rom.
following this:
off phone.
press volume up, home button dan power button
backup and restore
backup to internal sd card
after backup.
wipe data and factory reset
wipe cache
advanced > wipe delvik & wipe batt stats
press FIX PERMISSION
install zip from internal sd
follow instructions.
im wondering if there's something that i did wrong that's causing this problem..
thx so much in advance
Factory reset

It might solve this problem.

about wifi : maybe that rom uses a recompiled kernel If you don't know I can tell you about : this is a well-known problem in linux and android kernel when recompiling kernel wifi module can not work the solutions is to compile it separately (...)
I'm not sure but if this is about that rom you only have a chance to try another rom
about storage error: it make me think that : that rom surely has some errors ... try another rom
also is not my intention to blame anybody I just tell you about my experience in fact is very hard to prepare a custom ROM !
You are supposed to fix permissions after a flash. Also, why are you wiping battery stats? That doesn't do anything.

at which point did i miss that step..? im sorry its kinda confusing for me haha. im wondering if its the rom itself
batterystats.bin (search for this file by Root Explorer i.e.) is used to compute battery usage in UI settings in "Battery Use" if you reset it that's for more accurate calculation of battery usage indeed it can not solve your problem but can be useful ...
if you fix permissions maybe will solve 2nd problem but not sure about 1st problem if so pls post here it's something interesting but for me was never a solution to wifi problem- I have had to compile wifi module separately in order to get a working wifi
if this solves your problem credits go to lowandbehold
only that I can't wait out of curiosity ...post here if it solves your problem !

In your steps you said that you fixed permissions and then installed the zip. You have to install zip and then fix permissions.

well,
there is a tool named modinfo in Linux useful to get info about .ko modules it simply display version magic this is in fact kernel version that this module was compiled for it means if you have i.e. kernel ver. 2.6.32.9 and version magic for module is 2.6.35.7 it means wireless is not working because that module wasn't compiled for that kernel it's about rights and symbols not exported by kernel so module can't load -and other technical explanations but we can't enter more details here because it's possible to get criticism from Torvalds but who cares about
In fact I never knew that but now it's easy to understand what happened : flashed that rom then changed kernel now wifi will not load ...because it was compiled for another kernel...something like that !

<li>​Just some notes and observations that were not mentioned in his guide that will help. In order to install the drivers try right clicking the driver for your system and selecting install. If that doesn't work here is what you do. Turn off your phone, take the battery out, put it back in (if you don't do this it will just show a charging symbol) now plug it in, it should attempt to install the drivers and fail, at this point go to your start button, search programs and files and type device manager, when it comes up select the one with an exclamation point and right click it, select update drivers, point it to the driver folder and then your operating system folder, i.e. vista, windows 7. If the attempt to install does not work download http://narod.ru/disk/57204199001.bb08022cc3658b67af84bc83bd330b0c/20120705_e1808_v75_jbl1.zip.html extract the folder.
<li>Download http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?htx4lkktne1jmzg recovery image and place and replace the recovery in the folder above.
<li>Do not have your phone connected to your computer, open sp flashtool downloaded from Bruno martins guide select scatter-loading on the right select the scatter file in the extracted folder, deselect everything but the recovery i.e. only have recovery selected! Click the download button.
<li>Turn off your phone, remove the battery, put the battery back in plug in your phone, it should now attempt to install drivers, again it will fail, start, search programs and files, device manager, right click the one with the exclamation mark, select update, select driver folder, select your windows version, yes on any warnings, now installed.
<li>NOTE: I recommend never plugging in your phone until you hit the download button and it says searching with sp flashtool. It doesn't react if it's plugged in before then.
<li>O.K. So at this point you should have your drivers installed and recovery as well. Almost there.
So next download http://www.sendspace.com/file/oj1fv2 2 gb internal memmory and 500 mb external. Essentially what this zip does is make your phone have 2 gigs of internal space and 500 mb external instead of 500 mb internal and 2 gigs external, super cool.
Don't do anything yet though.
<li>Next download http://www.sendspace.com/file/uj3jqx This is the ultimate rom I spent some time on for our phones, it's android 4.06 while it's not orriginally mine I fixed a lot of issues and made it much, much, better and pre-rooted with buisy box.
<li>Next download http://www.sendspace.com/file/7yfizd That's right GOOGLE NOW fully working, really cool, works perfect you'll love it!
<li>Now that you have them downloaded put them on your SD card. Here is were people kept telling me if your external doesn't work you can just put it on your internal Sd card. DON”T DO IT! If your external doesn't work you put a smaller one in a 2 gig works nicely, I had a 16 gig and it wouldn't read, had an old 2 gigger laying around and read it just fine. Heres why you don't use the internal, your flashing the internal memmory!! It will mess everything up!
<li>That said, files on the sd card put it in your phone.
<li>Press power while holding the up or + volume, release power continue to hold the volume and you'll eventually go into recovery menu.
<li>Use volume to navigate power to select.
<li>Select wipe data/factory reset, confirm.
<li>Select wipe cache partition, confirm
<li>select advanced, select wipe dalvik cache, confirm.
<li>Now select install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card and select the custom rom file, confirm.
<li>Go back and reboot, let the phone reboot to system, as a side note screen will be moving white, its just the wallpaper. After full boot up let system settle then hold power and select recovery.
<li>Once back in recovery select install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard and select the 2 gig zip, install.
<li>Select choose zip from sd card and select the google now zip and install, now reboot your phone, and love the awesomeness. By the way it's just google in your app dawer or choosable when you select the microphone on your home screen.
FLASHING OTHER ROMS
<li>There are two different types of ROMS you can flash.
<li>Official-These are official builds and releases made for your phone. These will be flashed by using sp flashtool. Now our phones also have unique hadware sometimes different from phone to phone. Chinese are pretty infamous for mixing and matching hardware. That being said you need to have software settings set for your particular hardware. You do this by using a particular software called SP MDT which you can download here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6kee8d When you download the file run it. Select your scatter file, then select the button with the question marks, select unlock, the first one on the left is for your rear camera, middle is for front and finally right is for your screen setting which most people have trouble with and think they bricked their phone. The only way to truly test this is trial and error, if your screens normal you''ve selected the right screen setting, if your cameras work they are also on the right setting. Now close SP MDT and it auto saves the settings for you and use sp flashtool as normal.
<li>Custom-These are modded and themed developer ROMS, these are installed by flashing from recovery and generally do not effect your screen and camera settings because the do not contain uboot data.
Troubleshooting
<li>Don't flash NVRAM and UBOOT if your phone already works fine with cameras and LCD screen!
<li>My phone will not connect to install drivers- Many methods have been mentioned, but the one that works is-power your phone off, take out the battery wait 5 sec, put battery back in, now plug in your phone to the pc, it should attempt to install drivers and fail, go to start then type in the search box device manager, select it, right click the one with the exclamation mark, choose update. If that doesn't work, run sp flashtool select your scatter file choose what you want to install, select download button, now follow the steps provided above and plug in your phone. Also The cord that you use to pluggin to your computer may be the issue, if it does not transfere files when you plug it in normally then it wont work for the drivers, some of them are charge only I found that out myself when two of mine didn't work.
<li>My sd card can't mount in recovery-Most likely cause SD card is incompatible i.e. too big, use a smaller 2 gig card, do not use internal memmory as others suggest, it can mess things up and I advise against it.
<li>SCREEN PROBLEMS! Psychedelic colors, black, white, gray and others. CAMERA PROBLEMS! No camera, wont focus etc. Etc.... You need two programs spflashtool found here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/bh81se and SP_MDT found here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6kee8d You also need an official firmware. Open SP_MDT go to the box that says scatter file, point it to your official firmware scatter file, then click the box with all the question marks, press unlock, the first option is your rear camera, the second option is your front facing camera, the last option is your lcd settings which make it look normal (not phsychedelic and wacky). Now these settings vary from phone to phone so you just have to trial and error them, basically if your screen is right, the seting is right, if your camera works the setting is correct. Now you can close the SP_MDT don't worry it saves your settings for you even though you just close it. Go into SP Flash tool Now you can flash the whole ROM but you don't have too, you only need to select UBOOT it will give you a warning it's perfectly fine, thats all you need to flash to fix your settings, and it wont mess up your current ROM.
Official Roms
<li>Flash With SP Flash tool, Do Not Check UBOOT or NVRAM Unless you have already messed up camera and LCD settings in which case you need to follow the troubleshooting section.

A 4.03 custom rom

Feel Free to add more, as will I. If you like this thread feel free to thank me if you really like it please DONATE thanks.
NICE
Wow, thanks for putting the time into making a comprehensible thread. Cant wait to get some free time to root my n8000. How's the battery life in the ROM and are there any bugs? will report back if i run into any issues.
Hello
what is the point of having two threads for the same device.?
why did you not just post this there in the correct place?
surly it is much better to have one place to go to for all the answers and to ask, the N8000 thread has developed as the device has
you will just be adding to others confusion
good luck.
If you visit any of the other threads Of different phones they actually contain multiple threads which keep things uncluttered, so that people can find what they need that was my goal with this thread. They don't just contain one huge single thread.

thanks for your work!one question: your rom is good with battery? is it ondemand or performance dispatcher?
Incompatible apps
Thanks for the guide I've now got the 4.0.6 Rom on my phone. one problem, the play store says a lot of apps aren't compatible with my phone. I'm assuming this is because its a 4.0.6 Rom is there anyway to make the play store think you have 4.0.4 so it will let you download them or any other way to download these supposedly incompatible apps?
there is no android 4.0.6 this rom is based on android 4.0.3

Okay I've now tried a 4.0.4 Rom and its still saying loads of apps are not compatible when downloading from google play? These apps worked fine when I was on the stock 4.0.3 Rom.
sendspace.com/file/uj3jqx was 4.0.6 is a moded version of android 4.0.3 the build.prop file has been edited 4.0.6 there is a build.prop file somewhere that lets google play compatible with all apps.

This is really important to note. Newer phones have JBL2, and the JBL1 stuff at worst soft-bricks them and at best takes away auto-focus from the camera (still working on this, but seems permanent for now).
waiting
Actually the rom was created by alexey arsenev, will work on jbl2 but need to flash with jbl2 boot image.. But autofocus will not function..

Yes -- it works! I've done it.
I'm sorry that you're not going to find one step-by-step guide for this phone, but all the info is here.
This is a very hard phone to "break" in a permanent sense, but I'd read as much as you could stand before you began to avoid headaches that others have had before you. Between the two threads here, there are 150 or so pages of info. Especially important things to note: Make sure you have the right phone (not quite as easy it sounds) and make sure you note all the current details of your software before you get under the hood.
In order to use Google Now, you'll first need to root your phone and install a custom recovery (if those don't make sense, use the Google to search for an overview).
For our phone, I'd start with the first page of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695210
So, the question becomes: Do you have root and a custom recovery?
FWIW, Google Now is interesting but has yet to seem revolutionary to me. Seems like something that will be amazing three or four generations from now.

Important. For those who are using AOSP/AICP 7.0 ROM

1.Okay so, in this thread I'm going to post a fix for the infamous mobile data bug I.e mobile data which stubbornly refuses to turn on until restart
2. Substratum weird notification toasts after installing dark themes in which the lowercase y,g,q are incompletely rendered or else, in simple terms, they look weird because the lines don't seem to fit the toast
3. Only 2g bug
3. Overheating bug and battery drain
4. People who are sceptical about doze
5. No sim detected problem
6.Video recording bug
7. And if any more bugs, please mention. The above ones are all fixable although 5th and 1st require some workaround.
Important note. : to make sure that you don't encounter any sim card problem, clean flash this ROM only if you have flashed the official ROMs
Fixes :
1. Install any cm13 nightly. Dial *#*#4636#*#* and change the network type to WCDMA(3G) Preferred (or any G according to your choice). I recommend this step as a must because it hardwires the device to use all of types of desired networks and not enforce only 2g. Also, *please note to insert the data sim in the first slot only* in order to properly use this functionality.
If you are done with the above step, congrats, 80% of the work is already done. Open root explorer and go to /system/etc/apnconfig.XML (something related to APN and I'm sure it'll be the first file). Copy the file and save it somewhere in the internal or external memory.
Now flash android 7.0 and replace the same file in /system/etc/ and set the permission to read only I.e disable every right to write that file.
(This will work in most cases. If not then its a modem issue perhaps )
Edit : I found a new fix. Change the APN name to EE
and APN to everywhere
2. Go to display, change the display size to large and text size to small.
3. Flash the latest ROM of AOSP and disable clusterplug. There's already a tutorial on it in moto x play section. Please google it also govtuner is reportedly working.
4.doze works and phone goes to deep sleep. Observed via EX kernel manager
5.flash the stock ROM properly and then reflash this. Also possibly this is due to .70 volte update. So make sure you use the .52 update before flashing this ROM
6.use google camera and set the quality to 720p
7.you mention.
I'm no developer and I love to experiment. I'll make it a point to experiment on any other bugs if present
Thank you and please post your opinions.
Update : I disabled the aggressive doze in greenify and the data seems to work with the normal apn settings 'apparently'. Although this is the case with android n only. I didn't face this whole using cm13
Also I recommend periodic clearing of partition cache
This is definitely posted in the wrong section. What about this thread implies "Original Android Development" ?
Should be in the general discussion section.
Men thks for the post but, can you xplain how can i do the cluster plug off ? can you help me please

It doesn't matter what your logic is. This section is for developers that are posting their original work.
The point is to keep the forums properly organized. Not to make it as easy as possible for users who can't search a thread for solutions that have already been talked about.

Wait. Why are you flashing a different kernel other than what was given in the rom already ? Also you need to do a full flash which includes flashing of every single file in the retasia/reteu package

[HALF-SOLVED]-Camera Firmware S7 - Downgrade

Hello everybody,
I currently have a camera firmware problem on a sm-g930F.
I just bought a new s7. It is under NOUGAT.
As Xposed is not yet compatible with NOUGAT, I decide to install MARSHMALLOW via ODIN.
Everything is going well...
After installing Xposed & Co, I decide to test the camera ...
The launch of the camera fails!
After consulting several post:
Update Camera firmware *#34971539#
Camera Firmware Help
I realize that the firmware of the camera is D12LSJD ****
And that the firmware used by the rom stock Marshmallow is C12LS ****** (Nougat stock = D12LSJJ **** = Functional camera)
Q1:
Is there a way to use the phone firmware of the NOUGAT version?
Q2:
Is there a way to downgrade the firmware of the camera?
What I have already tried:
Recover the firmware of the NOUGAT version:
Installation by Odin a ROM NOUGAT
Recover files under /vendor/firmware
companion_fw_imx260_d.bin
fimc_is_fw2_imx260_d.bin
These two files contain in the last line the version used by the telephone
Installation by Odin a rom MARSHMALLOW
Rename companion_fw_imx260_d.bin -> CamFW_Companion.bin
Rename fimc_is_fw2_imx260_d.bin -> CamFW_Main.bin
Create an empty file -> 1q2w3e4r.key
Put these 3 files at the root of the phone's internal memory
Type *#34971539# in the phone application (All buttons are enable)
Phone to Cam (Main) + wait + reboot
Phone to Cam (73CX) + wait + reboot
FW WRITE COUNT: Main (1) and 73CX (1)
Result:
Camera version: Always the same, no change.​
Add firmware:
Installation by Odin of a rom MARSHMALLOW
Set the system partition to write
Copy companion_fw_imx260_d.bin to / vendor / firmware
Copy fimc_is_fw2_imx260_d.bin to / vendor / firmware
Reboot the phone
Result:
Camera version: Always the same, no change.​
Replace the used files:
Replace in the ROM MARSHMALLOW the two firmware files by those recover under NOUGAT after renaming them
Result:
Phone Version (MAIN): null
Phone Version (73CX): none​​
I do not know what to do.
In NOUGAT version no problem because the firmware of the phone is superior to the firmware of the camera.
In MARSHMALLOW version the firmware of the phone is lower than the firmware of the camera.
Please help me
Thank you all.:highfive:
I would try to WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET at Recovery Menu and reinstall FW afterwards.
Try also a different FW, download it at sammobile.com using the country it was first bought as filter
It's highly recommended NOT to downgrade FW. You might consider staying with NOUGAT and abandon Xposed ;p
I have already tried with other rom country. I have already done the steps mentioned.
It is out of the question to give up xposed.
.
I just managed to make the rear camera work with the Nougat .bin ... but not the front camera
With the original .bin file the front camera works but not the rear.
Half solution
As I said earlier,
With the /venoor/firmware/ files:
fimc_is_fw2_imx260.bin
setfile_imx260.bin
I can operate either the front camera or the rear camera.
With files from nougat, rear camera works (photos and videos)
With files from marshmallow (rom stock installed), front camera works.
So I created two zip files to flash using TWRP to alternate cameras under marshmallow with Nougat camera firmware (not phone camera firmware).
The solution is not optimal but has the merit of functioning ...
I almost never use the camera before so this solution suits me ... waiting for the compatibility of all my applciations under nougat.
Thanks to this gigantic forum for all helps !

As I said earlier,
With the /venoor/firmware/ files:
fimc_is_fw2_imx260.bin
setfile_imx260.bin
I can operate either the front camera or the rear camera.
With files from nougat, rear camera works (photos and videos)
With files from marshmallow (rom stock installed), front camera works.
So I created two zip files to flash using TWRP to alternate cameras under marshmallow with Nougat camera firmware (not phone camera firmware).
The solution is not optimal but has the merit of functioning ...
I almost never use the camera before so this solution suits me ... waiting for the compatibility of all my applciations under nougat.
Thanks to this gigantic forum for all helps !

Does this solution require root? I downgraded to use Knox and I need to stay on 6.0.1 but camera fails but the solution I'm looking for can't be via root

No root just flash with TWRP my uploads files
Good stuff! Just so I understand (I'm trying to do this with my S7 Edge SM-G935FD), you are copying the original files to /system/vendor and putting-in the blank 1q2w3e4r.key file, correct? Is that all it takes to allow the grayed-out buttons in the camera firmware flasher to appear?

So, by placing those three files in the /sdcard folder I was able to make the "Default FW Write (73CX)" button to be active. When I press it I get a confirmation box to "Update Firmware", followd by a "Now Updating..." screen. After about 2-3 minutes it is finished with a "F/W dump complete" screen. However, when I go back and check FW versions, nothing has changed. I'm doing this on the S7 Edge, so I don't want to try the zip files provided. Has anyone else had luck doing this?
I never succeeded to downgrade camera firmware... but follow post 4 follow the procedure to find files from your own phone and it should be able to work
after flashing cam firmware - my device can't starting.
stock rom flash not helps, root not help too.
flashing previous rom not help. what I can do?
device - Galaxy Note7 (SM-N9300)

First of all I would not have flashed the Galaxy S7 camera firmware to a Note 7
Go to your Note 7 forum and hope that someone has the correct firmware / unbrick method, and next time read what you are about to flash and make sure it's for your device...
I actually solved this on my phone. I downgraded my S7 (bootloader SW rev 2) from O to MM (for reasons), using Oreo BL and CP, and MM AP and CSC odin flash files. Only one of the cameras could be made to work, as described by OP, using one of the zip files provided by him. *#34971539# would show the camera firmware version as D12[something] and the phone FW version as C12[something]. I have the feeling that newer android can access both a C12[something] AND a D12[something] firmware file at the same time and therefore operate both cameras: in newer android versions there are both a fimc_is_fw2_imx260.bin and a fimc_is_fw_imx260_d.bin in the /system/vendor/firmware/ directory. The versions can be read using "tail -c 11"; the imx260.bin file is version C12[something], the imx260_d.bin is version D12[something] (at least on the original rom that happened to be on my phone that time). The C12 file is needed to operate the front cam, the D12 is needed to operate the rear cam; the zip files by OP install the D12 files to make the rear cam work but break the front cam.
The MM kernel has some code for flashing the camera firmware rom ("FROM") (see /drivers/media/platform/exynos/fimc-is2/vendor/mcd/ files fimc-is-sec-define.c and fimc-is-sysfs.c, in particular the functions called by accessing the "from_write" sysfs entry), but it is buggy and probably a rudiment from earlier versions when this was actually something people could do. I think the code is not functional as it is now, but I was able to modify the kernel and recompile it to a point where I could flash the FROM dump from another S7 I had access to (which had MM and both cameras working). The process involved a lot of trial and error and was quite involved, and I don't know if anyone besides me is left who cares to downgrade an S7 to MM, therefore I won't go more into more detail here. If someone does need this, PM me or post here, but expect this to be complicated and risky.
Just a warning: I am reasonably sure that the imx260.bin files found in the /system/vendor/firmware/ directory are not meant to be flashed to the camera rom, so please don't do any renaming to CamFW_Main.bin etc., as described in some threads relating to older phones. If you succeed in flashing this to the FROM you will just overwrite the data that is actually supposed to be there and the cameras will both stop working.
