The camera failed problem remains even when I update to nougat. Installing a custom rom can fix it? I didn't mess up with the phone yet but... If this going to continue I will. And yes, I did all the fixes (hard reset, changing stock rom via Odin, clear cache) and I know it is not hardware because my camera worked just fine a week, until I put a SD card into it. And the problem is the front camera, the rear don't have any problem.
Try using a third party application, even if that doesn't work then it's a hardware issue.

Whenever I open the Camera app on my Galaxy Y pro Duos Gt-5512, it shows this awkward view on the display (as if some special effect is switched on). the 1st and 2nd files attached down show the view at the display of my phone whenever I open the camera app,
The 3rd image is the similar to 1st one using other(normal) camera.
In the rear camera mode when I click the capture icon on the screen it shows the error (shown in 4th image) it doesn't capture the image and the camera application exits. Also when I switch to front facing camera it shows the same awkward colors but I am able to capture the image using the front camera(it doesn't give any error, that is how I am able to attach the 1st and 2nd image.).
What shall I do to bring back the original colors in my camera?
PS- I have changed the phone's firmware couple of times. I even flashed the factory firmware, still its the same story. At present I use Custom ROM (Hatyon ROM v1.1), and Compact kernel 2.5.

I'm encountering the same issue. However the phone I'm fixing is a Samsung GT-B5510 which is the single SIM version of GT-B5512.
Were you able to solve this issue already?
I have tried the following:
1. Wipe data / cache - it didn't solve the issue
I will have to try this when I get the phone back:

You can try this one out if this would work. Since wiping, reflashing doesn't work, it could be an issue with the data stored in the SD card as pointed out in the URL above.

how could it be solved by the method in the link you poster?i have completely flashed the Software. and still the problem persists. if you think tghe problem is in the mem card, then remove/unmount the mem card and then open the camera app it will show the same kind of crazy colors and end up with the same error..
thirdly the directory path shown by that person is non existing. i am not able to find /phone when i connect my samsung to PC. it just lets me access the MemCard .
Thanks
PS: how did you started getting this error?? did you drop it? flashed a worng firmware??

Thanks for trying it out.
I'm not pretty sure if the cause was when the Samsung's latest OTA firmware update was applied. So far that was the only thing that the owner reported. Though he hasn't tried using the camera right after the update was applied. 2-3 months have passed before he tried using the camera app again then found out that it's throwing the error.
So the assumption is, the official firmware update caused the issue.

any Advancements?
Strange problem here.
I noticed on Paranoid Android beta 5 that while in the camera app I couldn't switch to the front camera. I reflashed the ROM and still no front camera. I finally decided to reflash a factory image from google themselves. Now when I open the camera, still no option to use the front camera. I've attached an image to show that the option is missing still. Its not an issue of the camera app crashing when trying to switch, the option just isnt there at all. Anyone any ideas?
Interesting...
Maybe look at jinshus camera mod and try that. Or at the very least flash the stock camera
This is very strange especially after you flashed a factory image.
Did it work before?

Sometimes after flashing rom, some system files still carry into the new rom and this might break some of the lib files for the camera.
Full wipe before and after flashing stock image to see if it working.
It did work before. I locked & unlocked the bootloader, then performed a factory reset then flashed 4.4 factory image. After that I updated to 4.4.2 using the phones system update. Still no front camera menu. Is it possible it's hardware? I would have thought hardware would have left the option to choose front camera but crashed or black screened when I try and select it. I'm not even rooted now on pure out of the box stock.

If it is completely stock now and it still happens it does sound like hardware which is strange because normally you would at least have the option to switch to front camera and then crash or nothing or something.
Try a factory reset wipe cache/ dalvik againa nd if that doesn't work then I think it is time to look at RMA
Tried another factory flash, then tried the camera mod, both the modded file and the return to stock file. Still no front camera. Bizarre.
When I was using stock rom 4.2.2 .17 I tried to open my camera. then suddenly I got Error! Camera not Available. I tried Third Party Applications but that did not help, but it turned out that the front camera, the back camera and the flash light not working at all. I did a factory reset and reflashed the stock rom and I formatted my SD card but still the issues not solved. So I flashed CM11 then the back camera and the flash light work again :good: .. but the front camera still not working at all. any ideas gays?
Hello gays, need help here!!

Maybe try flashing older rom, and then via USB just update software.?
I've got cm11 and it's not same camera .apk as Sony.
If that does not help, try to extract that camer .apk from cm11 and just put it in your phone (remove stock camera apk).

I will try this, but I'm thinking of changing the KERNEL to see if that's could make it work
A few days ago my phone started showing this message ("Can't connect to camera") when I try to open anything camera related. I googled this problem and I found a workaround involving killing the "media" process but my problem doesn't seem to be related to that since this method didn't worked for me. I am sure that this is not hardware related either, I made a test with wiping my phone and with a fresh installation the camera works with no problem but when I restored my backup the problem returns with it.
Try going into the apps settings then clear all data for camera. Reboot phone before you open camera. This worked for me.

I decided to do a fully clean rom installation, my backup is ready already, I'm just waiting for the next nightly.
hi guys, I just experienced last few days where by when i installed other custom rom on my opo, suddenly my stock camera app cant be used. rear camera cant focus properly, and after that the phone will reboot. I tried installing other roms as well as changing back to stock rom (i was on cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0 unrooted) but problem still persisted. the phone wont reboot as long as i dont open camera app. it happens to all the roms that i installed so far. even after i used fastboot method to restore back to cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0 still the same. open camera app, image cant focus (blur), reboot.
now whatever rom i install, either:
1. can open but rear camera image blur, then phone reboot few seconds later
or
2. camera app cannot open, then phone reboot
or
3. camera app rear camera cannot use. only front camera can use
please help! thanks

But that can't do hardware damage,and your issue seems related to hardware only.You should get your device checked from a professional repair shop.

I never said to get the rear camera module replaced,I said get your device "checked". If the problem were of the rear camera module,you could've replaced it yourself. :/
