After I updated to Nougat last night, I've been getting this message when I run the stock camera app.
Also, the Snapchat camera or the WhatsApp camera works fine.
Is anyone else facing the same issue ? & Does anyone know how to solve this ?
Thank You
Update 1:
So after so many times reflashing & trying everything possible that came to mind, I've come to a conclusion that relocking your bootloader makes your stock camera come up with this error.
You can relock your device, get the OTA update, but when you boot into the system, you well get this error message everytime you open the stock camera app.
Now, when I unlocked my bootloader & flashed the MM ftf, this problem was gone forever.
So unlocking your bootloader on Nougat via Flashtool, will ask you for a password to boot, which you will never know, maybe it is because the device is encrypted.
Update 2:
Unlocking your bootloader again on Nougat using official Sony guide fixed the issue for me.
The password to unlock your device is no longer present with this method
Make sure you don't use Flashtool to unlock your bootloader on Nougat.
If you have rooted , restore the original cam and clear cache and data , after that update your phone

I was on unlocked Bootloader + Root + Xposed on MM, I relocked my bootloader, reflashed MM & updated to Nougat through OTA.
So currently I'm not rooted & have my bootloader locked.

Yes reflash mm
Restore your original camera and clear cache and data
Update to android 7
Or do factory reset from android 7

Yes, you need to unlock the bootloader again to get back the camera. Seems to be flashtool relocking bootloader on xz i think.

Hello,
I have the same error msg "the camera may be in use by another application. Please close the other application and try again".
I got my XZ from French Orange Carrier and I unlocked the bootloader via Sony Official unlock
Then I installed Rom Xperia XZ Customized FR 39.0.A.3.30 via Flashtool and then relocked the bootloader by Flashtool but since then the camera keeps showing me this error message.
I tried software repair on Companion and reflashing Customized FR 39.0.A.3.30 but nothing help.
Issue still persist
Can someone help and tell me how to get back the camera working on MM with looked bootloader or should I unlock the bootloader again ?
Cheers!!

Just Unlock your bootloader again using the Sony official guide, you can't use the stock camera if you've unlocked your device & then relocked it.

Hi there, i got an issue trying to unlock again the BL on Nougat Romaur, at every time it gives me a FAILED feedback after the command, so the camera app doesn't work ( i'm on the modded stock camera app, so maybe a incompatibility with 7.0 ?)

Probably, try with stock app maybe.
Also use official Sony's guide to Unlock & not flashtool.

Hi guys,
I've just bought a Nexus 5 that got updated first to 4.4.3 and then 4.4.4 pretty much straight away.
But now I'm stuck, doesn't get Lollipop at all. I've tried the Google Services Trick, I've rebooted, I've tried without sim, I've tried another phone carrier (I'm in Australia and looks like my provider is still testing Lollipop and not sure WHEN it will release it at all).
Any other suggestions on what to try to get Lollipop? I'm an IT guy but I've never done the manual install or that kinda of stuff.. I had so far the Galaxy Nexus with 4.4.3.
If I install manually Lollipop and everything goes fine, what happens next? I mean, when a new version comes out, do I have to do it AGAIN manually? Losing all the data and stuff? Or ....?
Please advise
Nexus 5 4.4.4
Baseband version
8974A-2.0.50.1.16
Kernel version
3.4.0-gd59db4e
Build number
KTU84P
If you're 100% stock, download the OTA and manually flash it using the 'adb sideload' command - you won't lose anything
I bought it through ebay, how do I know if it's 100% stock?
More than losing data now (nothing on, it's brand new) what will happen when the next update will come out? I'll have to do it manually every time?
thanks for the help
If you are sstock there's not going to be any issues - and you'll continue to get the updates as they appear.
Look for the big OTA thread here on the forums.
Edit : You ain't going to lose data if you sideload the OTA - it keeps your storage intact. You only lose data when unlocking your bootloader for flashing factory images . Unlocked bootloader is not a requirement for sideloading OTAs
ok, understood. But to do the "sideloading OTA" the only requirments it to be 100% stock?
how do I find out if my phone is 100% stock?

reboot to bootloader ( volume down and power pressed ). On the bottom of the screen it will say if the bootloader is locked or not . If it's locked , there's a very good chance the phone is stock. If it isn't you OTA will fail but it should not affect anything.

Bootloader locked , and you have the stock kernel and rom. Sideload that OTA and you are ready to go !
ok, sounds awesome. I think I'll give it a try over the weekend!
Any other advise? I'll look for a guide or something to sideload the OTA and I'll cross my fingers

And another one for all the scepticals: You can allways lock your bootloader back, if you need a phone in factory state. So, flash people, flash.

Yes, it will work. Note that unlocking the bootloader and/or flashing the flash-all.sh will wipe your device so backup first off your device

but I won't have to unlock the bootloader, from what I understood, no?
Anyway, I got no data on it so for now it's not a problem. I'm more concerned for future manual updates, when I'll start having data on it

You will be master till new version released and there will be no problem for you. You will flash image without wipe or copy data to PC and make a full install or unlock bootloader and wait for OTA again. Even it is possible that you will be on some custom rom.
Just stop to be so scared about anything - the world of android is yours.

I'll do it over the weekend, I'll keep you posted.
Thanks guys
hi guys,
thanks to everyone for the help, I've sideload the OTA 5.0, so easy I couldn't believe it. Reboot the phone, command in terminal and that's it!
As soon as the phone started it found immediately the 5.0.1 update on its own, so I didn't have to do it manually.
AWESOME, I love Lollipop already!
you're welcome!
Hello Guys
I just got a M9 today. Reading here I see that the Android Oreo is available. My version is MHAL29. So, tried some methods to update but no success.
So, there is a way to update without unlocking bootloader ?! Like OTA or something like that
wait official ota

I don't think there's an offline firmware update zip like there is for the C636, which would basically reinstall your firmware. That's why I asked which version you were on.
If you can't find a way to resolve this then you could always rebrand to the C636 and it will reinstall your firmware in full
I'd try using firmware finder from the play store first and see if you can install an update using the proxy add-on, however, you'll need to get into system update to do this. Can you not even get into that from settings?
Hi all, currently running my pixel 2 on latest Dec security patch. 8.1. However due to bug in bootloader (66) unable to unlock the device. I can RMA but still want to know is there any way to revert back OTA update ?
I tried using OTA side load from Recovery but its giving me error saying current timestamp is newer than OTA so failing.
Any tweak to downgrade ?

As far as i know u cant downgrade. Regarding the bug in bootloader unlocking, that has been solved. Restore factory your device and you should be able to unlock bootloader.

I tried but facing issue. Its toggling but at the time of flashing fastboot command its saying locked.
I doubt something broke in 66 version of bootloader. That's why wanted to be on previous version to check the solution

Prolly yeah. But i was able to unlock bootloader on 2 pixel 2 phones running 8.1. mine and my fiance. Prolly weird and rare bug
I bought a XZ Premium locally second hand. THe phone worked great. I used Flashtool to stick EE firmware on as it had vodafone.
The thing is the camera does not work. when I select camera it shows the view. but when i press the button to take the shot ti does nothing, also the same with videos.
Snapchat video works?
any help?
UPDATE
OK so did the systems test and when I take a photo on front or rear camera it is green.
now looking online its something to do with DRM and unlocing the bootloader
I dont think this phone has been unlocked , the service screen shows as unlock possible - no
Seems like the phone has it bootloader unlocked you should flash drmpath thats the only way it will work.

For green photos you have to flash drmpatch which you will need unlocked bootloader and twrp installed. I'm not sure if it's possible but probably the owner before you relocked the bootloader?

Alright good luck
As my device was rooted a month ago but couple of days ago I lost the L1 cirtification, today I updated to latest firmware by downloading full size by oxygen updater and updated it with in-device local update method. But even after the update my device's L1 cirtification is still not back and it's showing L3.
I rooted my device by flashing patched image with adb. Now I'm afraid locking bootloader might cause issues... Any suggestions how should I lock my bootloader. Somewhere I saw that lock option for bootloader in developer option cause bootloop/brick.
Btw my own lock is greyed.
Relocking the bootloader will definitely cause issues, maybe this thread can help?
