Hello,
I don't know why but my Galaxy S6's back camera just keeps on force closing.
No matter what I try:
- Rebooting
- Flashing a new Rom through TWRP
- Odin to stock
- Wipe everything on recovery
- Clear camera cache, data and force stop it
-Booting into Safe Mode
I'm out of ideas, anyone know how this can be fixed?
I would also like to add that, about 2 months ago the same thing happened to my phone and after trying all of the above that time also, nothing was working. I took it to tmobile and a representetive asked me "have you tried rebooting?" And as he asked he was rebooting my phone in front of me. I said "Yes" and when the phone booted back up, he opened the Camera app and it was working -__-
I have been rebooting for the past 2 days hoping for that to happen again, to no avail.

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?
Device : TAB 7.7 P6800
ROM : Carbon ROM build 12/12/14
ROOTED
CWM 6.0.3
Ok so I wake up yesterday to found out that my Whatsapp suddenly fc. And when i open it back, it shows that my chat backup are messed up and i need to restore it.
And while doing that, it started to reboot by itself.
I thought it will be okay after that.
It not.
Reboot, power on, Dropbox fc. Few seconds after that, reboot again.
power on, another apps fc. after few seconds, reboot again.
It keeps rebooting into the same state when i woke up that morning. Wifi turned on, few notifications on panel, (thou i keep clearing it everytime when it power on)
Now ive tried wipe data , wipe cache, everything in CWM. but it keeps rebooting into the same state!
Ive also tried flash with stock rom via ODIN.
Guess what?
It appear PASS on ODIN, but when the tab powered on, is still went back to the previous same state.
Ive google around and some said it is the sign of memory flash fail or smthing.
anyone maybe could help me out?
im on dead end.
Later edit5: Tried to restore my nandroid backup and TWRP froze. Had to hard reboot the phone...
Later edit4: It started working. It f***** started working. Out of nowere. Last night, the last thing i tried was this: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/fix-for-sudden-death-and-boot-loop.146107/
I rebooted the phone and it didn't work. I gave up.
This morning I turned it back on and ... surprise, surprise... it started working (optimizing apps and actually booting into cos12.1).
My happiness didn't last because as soon as the phone started updating some apps, it crashed, and entered a boot loop again. Good thing i managed to copy one of my previous backups.
Can someone explain this behavior?
Later edit3: my phone is still stuck in a bootloop. Neither roms are working.
Things I've tried:
- flash new roms
- erase/ flash persist
- flash color os
Nothing works!
Later edit2: while on cm13, i plugged it in to recharge. While connected to wall plug it did nothing(working fine, as it should be). As soon as i unplugged it started rebooting over and over again... a boot loop. This phone is starting to look like one of the biggest mistakes i ever made. I regret purchasing it.
Later edit: now it just turned off, and pressing the power button won't turn it back on. Had to press it for about 10 - 15 seconds. ANNOYING!
OP: I've been experiencing random reboots on my oneplus ONE since I've had it.
When i first got the phone, i was so excited about it and started flashing custom roms, just for fun and to see which one suites me. I messed up the phone (my camera wouldn't work anymore. All the roms gave me the same message"Camera has stopped working" ) and sent it back to warranty, here in my country, at the shop from which i've bought it. After two weeks they sent it back to me with the note "restored to factory settings". I've checked the "About" section and it was running cos12.1, 1 jan 2016 security patch, kernel 3.4.67.
So I've decided to stick with this rom because I didn't want to mess it up again. But, out of nowhere it rebooted. First i thought that it was an app that needed the phone to reboot. I didn't mind it. I've left my phone over the night and in the morning it was saying "enter pin" as it has rebooted.
Long story short, ever since it reboots at least 1 time a day, and it is getting really frustrating! Sometimes when i'm in an app, sometimes when it just lays around.
Reasons it rebooted:
- no reason, just siting and it rebooted
- opened waze app
- browsing chrome
- tried to connect to a saved wireless network, it rebooted and afterwards the network was not recognized anymore and had to retype the password
- no reason!!! just sitting!!
- fresh install of cos 12.1, i queued about 20 apps to install... it rebooted and continued installing after reboot.
- sometimes i heavily use it and it runs perfectly, but when i stop using the phone and lay it down it reboots. (this only happend one time)
Things I've tried:
- factory reset
- clear cache and dalvik cache
- power cicle the phone
- new rom
None of these worked.
Today I installed sultans CM13, with his 3.4.0 - sultan - caf kernel, hoping that my problems would disappear. (I installed TWRP 2.8.7.0.5, flashed the rom, cleared the cache, flashed the gapps, cleared the cache and reboot.)
It ran flawlessly. I've installed all my apps, played a little with it, configured it as I pleased and I've left it the table for about 15 minutes. When i picked it up, it rebooted(AGAIN!) out of nowhere.
What could it be? As I read through the forums i found out that a log with the exact problem is impossible to get because it gets deleted.
Could it be the wireless network? Could it be the sim card I am using or the phone modem? Could it be because of the launcher?
(for now, i've disabled my sim pin so when my phone reboots i don't miss phone calls if i don't notice it has rebooted)
Please help, as this problem is getting more and more frustrating...
Reboot log
Quickly after a reboot i reconnected the phone, opened cmd and typed adb logcat.
This is the log. 22:17 is the time when the phone rebooted so i extracted only that fragment of the log.
I am going to flash the stock cm13 nightly with the "stock" version of gapps. (until now i always flashed "nano").
Pardon for a long story but someone gave this Samsung J7 Prime(SM-G610F) to me with an issue "An Error Has Occurred While Updating The Device Software". So I gave Samsung Smart Switch a try sadly they removed the Initialize option and old version don't seam to do what it suppose to do so I wen to a traditional Odin flashing. I then look for a stock rom for the phone that I think is the right one. Started with android 6 MM region pakistan and flashing went well. I was able to use it for a good hour or two until I notice it restarted by it self, then it keeps doing it 10-20 seconds after booting up. I though its the firmware I'm using so I went and look for Oreo version this time I region india (I don't know if region matters). So I flashed it again and tested the device again. I'm still able to use it for a good while till it restarted again. I then keep testing it to see what may be causing the problem. I notice that when the WIFI is on it just crash the phone to reboot so as soon as the phone reboots I turned the wifi off and it didn't crash anymore. I then factory reset the phone cleared everything, wipe cache then installed benchmark tools first. Thing I notice is it crashes when Google Play store is trying to install or download something. I tested it a couple of times to see when it crash and it does crash when downloading or installing something. I was still able to install 3Dmark and run it with wifi off. It completed the test without crashing so it couldn't the processor issue. I then look for another rom and tried flashing it. This time I had issue with it failing at system.img even if I use recent rom that worked. I then keep trying till flashing TWRP worked and flashing the rest of the rom is fine again.
What bothers me is why doesn't it crash during the first couple of hours. I've search similar issues and they say it may have been and app issue. I've already disabled bunch of app but nothing changed. Run the phone in safe mode but this time instead of crashing and rebooting right away it freezes for a few seconds. I suspect if google play or something being an issue since I've tried disabling it and it didn't crash for a couple of hours. Looked for allot of related thread but none of them seam to solve my problem.
I suspect either its the rom that I'm using and it can only be fixed by using the original rom, or its having a memory issue but don't know how to pin point it. Anyone can suggest on how I can debug this? I'm used to debugging things in real time and my knowledge with android is a quite slim but as a programming understanding the errors won't be a problem. I hope.
Edit: Hmm. Does copying kernel log with TWRP work or the kernel logs get overwritten every time the phone reboots? Because I see the kernet logs but don't see anything failing except for something saying SHUTDOWN but I don't think thats it. :S
Still no reply. :S I think its /system dismounting it self while doing a write operation. but it doesn't trigger until a certain amount of time after the phone is flashed or factory reset. I have to go to recovery and mount system back but that only happens on marshmallow. over version it remounts it self after the random reboot. After factory reset I'm able to install COD mobile and play a couple of match. after a long while it just decides to reboot.
I also tried z3x and after reading PIT from phone OK. the phone just reboots and flashing completes without it doing any flashing.
I have a sm-g930a s7 at&T. about 2 weeks ago my camera and flashlight quit working. I have tried the following:
disable smart stay
, reboot phone.
went to camera app, force stopped, cleared cache, cleared data, restarted phone
, restarted in safe mode, camera still not working in safe mode.
cleared system cache, wiped data, did factory setup. camera not working
Changed the software on phone using odin. flashed G930AUCUBCTB1. Odin worked, Camera not working still. I was considering trying a ball peen hammer, but not there quite yet.
My backup phone is a s7 edge with a beautiful pink line.
Any idea where to go from here?
I have the same problem, open camera and I get a black screen followed by a "camera failed" message. Tried different apps. Actually replaced the rear camera. Reset phone back to factory stock. Did all of the "other" stuff. Nothing works. The problem started shortly after the last (February) and final OTA update that ATT did. Anyone have anything I can flash to my phone with ODIN? It is a SM-G930A Baseband G930AUCUBCTB1.

Try installing a different camera app and see if that works. If it doesn't, it could very well be the camera itself.

I have tried 2 or 3 different camera apps. No help. I forgot to say that the camera will actually come on very very occasionally.
