Out of nowhere, my camera stoped working. One day I'm taking pictures, recording videos, etc and then i tried to open Lumia Camera but the app wont open. Camera stock? Also nothing. Rebooted the cellphone twice and nothing.
Tried soft and hard reset (anso change rom using Lumia Software Recovery Tool but nothing is making my camera work again. What do I do!? :crying::crying::crying:
Same issue, maybe.

Ok so this happened to me when i updated my phone to windows version 8.1
if your phone is already 8.1 and you have been using it with 8.1 and there have been no updates. I would recommend
1. Try other camera apps to use the camera.
2. Download a version of Lumia Software Recovery Tool, Back up your phone first and try to re-install via this Tool.
3. If that does not work, find an older version of your OS. I am having to use an older release of 8.1 the one right before the drop down menu got added.
Thats what i have found out thus for hope that helps.

I had a crash yesterday when my phone screen just blanked out while it was on charge and was getting very hot. After unplugging it, i rebooted the phone and after the initial logo, no screen was coming on. I could feel the haptic feedback but nothing on the screen. I again rebooted nothing, luckily i got into recovery by power+3D+vol down and restored old image.
But since that time i've tried the following methods:
1. Installed new image
2. Factory reset stock phone and camera still hangs.
3. Software UPdate via LG software update tool and clean fresh install.
4. Emergency phone restore as the boot got corrupt one time.
5. Restored using previously working image(s). tried 2 separate dates and roms.
Nothing works for the camera and doesn't take picture even by pressing 3D button.
EDIT: Update. Managed to finally get the camera working after lot of clean installs of CFW. Only prob is when i click storage and press SD Card option it hangs. Tried many times and even on another ROM but it just hangs when switching storage to SD CARD.
Is there a hardware issue or a software one?
Any idea or tips that could help me restore my camera?
Hello,
this is my first post in this very very very helpful forum
recently i bought nexus s for 50$ but nor camera neither flashlight working
i tried:
1) flashing diferent roms
2) disambled it and cleared camera ribbon pins
but no success.
at this time i am on stock jelly bean i flasshed this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784497
when i start camera it says "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped" and app cloeses, but when i start app "Tiny Flashlight + LED", the app starts but it says "an application like youtube running in background may be preventing the light from starting. try stopping it or reboot your device" after that if i start camera it says different: "Can't connect to the camera". and if i force stop "Tiny Flashlight + LED" again camera app says "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped"
so i cant understand the flashlight is damaged and forcing camera not to work or camera is damaged and forcing flashlight not to work or both.
and one more thing, the front camera works (third part apps) but it shows 90 degree rotated picture no meter how i rotate it.
sorry for bad english
any help would be apreciated

thx but didn't work
maybe i had to post in General ?
i read somewhere that flashing roms via clockworkmod doesn't change every partition just system partition, so i decided to download the stock 2.3.3 backup and restore from clockworkmod but it didn't solve, same no camera no flashlight.
is there any better way to completly revert back to stock, then restoring 2.3.3 from clockwork?
1 more question:
if camera hardware is broken does it mean that flashlight wont work? until replace camera?
HEEELP i need heelp
i replaced camera but same, no camera, no flashlight, front camera showing rotated picture.
i cannot understand how can front camera work but now rear when they are on the same module (attached file)
now i am sure that it is software issue BUT, i tried everyithing
1) restored stock via CWM (i downloaded CWM Backup)
2) flashed stock via fastboot (radio, baseband, -w update)
different kernels, basebands, roms nothing helps
i have 1 last chance, ODIN!
but i don't know how to use it.
but if you are sure that flashing via odin is SAME as flashing via fastboot then i have no idea
Did you solve your problem?
Hello,

I met the same problem . But I am sure that it is about ONLY software problem. (I tried to check from factory reset window, Suddenly flash light become working, blind up. But it was whole chinese, I couldn't understand anything). If you solved, can you please write?
Thanks
Hello.
I've bought an I2000, and after having problems updating to the new ROM 20130510_e2001v21_v89_cxq, everything works, except my cameras.
Whenever I try a camera app it will return the error "cannot connect to camera", and also, after flashing my camera icon whent missing.
It's weird because I re-flashed it, just in case the first time there was a problem, and as soon as it reboots the icon is there, but when the initial animation finishes and I can access the desktop, it disappears.
I've entered the recovery menu and and went to "version", which gives you details about the HW of the phone and it states "LcmCam Info:" but it's empty, and the "camera" isn't amongst the running processes, and if I run camera tests in the recovery menu they fail.
I know the camera works, because before flashing I took a few pictures without a problem, and both software and hardware worked fine.
What's weird is that I haven't seen anybody else with the same problem after flashing.
Could someone that owns this phone and has updated to 4.2.1 with 20130510_e2001v21_v89_cxq upload the gallery and camera.apk please?
Or the original factory ROM with version 4.1.2, I can't seem to be able to find them anywhere.
Thanks!!!
Greetings

Can you solve this issue i got the same one .... if youre where able to find the drivers please share bro.
I had Cyanogenmod 11 installed on my S4 and about a week in the front camera stopped working. I went ahead and did a clean install again and the issue persisted. Two days ago I decided to just flash the stock rom back onto the phone and I used odin to flash the stock rom to get it exactly how it came out of the box. The front camera still does not work, and now I discovered the back one works but when I try to turn on HDR it freezes and crashes like the front camera. It says "warning camera failed". I've reset app preferences and took the SD card out but nothing fixed the issue. Any other things I could do to fix this?
I have a samsung s4 mini.
For the last couple of days, whenever I go to my camera app, it says "Camera Failed". I downloaded "Open Camera", and this application says that there is another application may be using camera.
I have rebooted the phone, stopped camera, cleared the cache, even tried the camera on safe mode. nothing helps.
Is there a way to re-enable the camera without resetting the phone back to original?
Thx
Hi !
You didn`t mention whether you`re using a stock rom or a custom one
Removing the open camera which most probably caused the issue may work but not 100% sure , basically on stock rom should work , on a custom rom the things are different, this is library related and I can`t suggest you to go and remove anything from there
You either refer to the rom developer if on custom or just factory reset if on stock in case the open camera uninstall doesn`t work
Good luck
