[Q] camera firmware flashed improperly. Possible fix?

After about 5-7 seconds of recording in 720p I was getting recording failed problems every time. It wasn't doing that before or at least not very often until recently. So I decided to update the camera firmware. I go to the camera firmware update screen by dialing *#*#34971539#*#* I selected phone to CAM FW Write and I go to update the firmware to version 2.0.3 it downloads up to 225/253 pieces then stops and says the update is a success, then it tells me to reboot. I reboot the phone with the volume down and power button, and I find out the camera firmware isn't installed properly. Now under camera info it is displaying.

I don't remember exactly what it said before but I know it said something different. The rear facing camera is now messed up and displaying green. This is happening with all the different camera apps that I tried on the market. I also did a factory reset, cleared the cache and wiped the data. Still I'm getting the same problem. The camera info is displaying the same thing to so I know for a fact that the factory reset didn't reset everything. Maybe someone here who has the same phone can help me out by dialing *#*#34971539#*#* and going to "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check." Tell me what it says if you don't know how to directly fix the problem. If someone here does know how to fix the problem it would be helpful though. I'm rooted and I'm currently running stock Froyo 2.2.1 if that helps.

Once I figured out how to root and flash with the Infuse, I didn't waste much time at all staying on Froyo. However, I've had video recording issues that ended up being caused by the kernel. I suppose it's possible that it could be an issue with the Froyo Community Kernel (I'm guessing/assuming that's how you rooted). Any particular reason you'd not want to just back up your apps and upgrade to Gingerbread?

I'm rooted and on gingerbread 2.3.6 now actually. It didn't fix the camera, but I'm able to go into the camera firmware settings and it's now showing

Every time I try to flash the firmware now it says "firmware update failed try again." I read somewhere that you have to remove the camera before doing a camera firmware update. I opened the phone up and it doesn't look like the camera can easily be removed and put back in.

I hate to keep harping on the same thing, but I'm not so sure it's a camera firmware issue, and you may be making a mountain out of a mole hill. If you happened to upgrade with Heimdall, and you're not already running one of them, it may be worth trying one of the kernels in this post, for ****s and giggles:

I've never had any issue with the camera, aside from what was caused by a kernel, so aside from that advice, I've nothing else to offer. Good luck.

Urgent help needed to fix a error

Hi Devs,
I had installed ateeq's rom 3.1 used it for 2-3 days after which i started getting a strange error when i open camera or camcorder
on ateeq's rom the apps i mentioned automatically close and when i tried installing cynogenmod9.1 build 11 and 14 it gives me the following error
"Cant connect to camera"
I need urgent help on this issue as i use camera a lot
any suggestions or fixes are most welcome
thanks:crying:
and i have tried removing the battery and restarting,
going to recovery wiping everything possible excluding sd card and flashing various rom's , but the problem seems to exists

If you have already tried flashing other roms after complete wipe , then it may be a hardware problem.

I faced this problema couple of times too...I would recommend you to use a camera app from app store.The Camera bug is present in many ROMs.Even in CM10 beta #5 which is almost stable has a bug in camera...I use Camera Zoom FX for now..it will give you good quality picture plus better editing options.

Unable To Flash Custom Rom, OrangeFox Or Anything Else

Hello,
since today I flashed definitly more than 100 times a custom rom to several Smartphones. So I know the procedure und what to note.
But now the Redmi Note 6 Pro makes me crazy since two days.
Waited 15 days to unlock bootloader, then flashed the first TWRP, Error 7, tried another TWRP for the phone from here - passwort error encryption etc. etc. I think I have seen all the possible error-messages.
I tried everything incl. back to stock rom via Xiaomi Mi flash several time an than the same from the beginning, always errors, some new like "zip-file corrupt" "can't map file". Thought about a hardware error already.
Has anybody been in the same situation? What should I try? Is there a workaround where I can check the reason for these problems?
Regards
Robert

Same problem here ? I can't solve ? plz help

Never fear, Google is here!
I had this exact same problem, but this post fixed it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762
I still haven't figured out what caused it in the first place though...

I don't think this programming-issue is the only reason for error 7. I have been trying 5 different roms, always error 7. Is it possible that there comes a wrong model-information from the phone?
Another problem is the passwort for decrypting in TWRP. In some threads is said, this password is the screen protecting password. I tried this - nothing - I changed it - nothing, allways wrong password.
This phone makes me crazy.... All the things working allways and xtimes without any problems - here not.

Same Problem
Had the same problem turned out that you need to flash pie firmware first befor flashing any pie-roms.

[HELP] Camera not working OOS FW 11.0.0.2 global

Phone model: Oneplus 7 Pro GM1911 (India)
Problem: Back camera not working - Black screen in the viewfinder
Wherever I try to open the camera from WhatsApp, snap, camera, gcam, etc.. my phone crashes and the only way to come out of it is to re-boot my phone.
If i long press on the camera app and select selfie my front camera works, so the problem is only with the back camera and whatever apps try to access the back camera.
Until recently I was in OOS 11 beat 4, realized my camera is not working so reset the phone to android 9 via an official update zip and then updated to OOS 11 stable V11.0.0.2 hotfix where many people were saying the camera started working again, but even after doing that my camera was not working.
Then I flashed PixelExpeiance ROM, following all the instructions for a clean flash. Still, my camera was not working
I again re-flashed the FW11.0.0.2 global with pixel experience ROM still installed, everything else works except my back camera.
Everything was working until I moved to Beta 4 of official OOS11, can anyone tell me how do I get my back camera working again??
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.
P.S: The country I'm living in right now doesn't have a Oneplus service center so taking it to Oneplus is not an option for me.

Update: Tried flashing the stock firmware using MSM tool, 10.3.8 still my camera does not work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try OOS 11.0.2 they say it was a hotfix for most of the problems people where facing. Just a suggestion

Another Bricked/stuck in bootloop device, please maybe somebody knows how to solve it?

Hi Guys, I bought a second hand 10 Ultra that had the EU ROM version 12.10. Battery life, everything was perfect. EXCEPT the camera! And the camera was THE only reason to buy this phone. Horrible photos, a lot of smear and haze when a light source was in the picture, like a light bulb, computer screen, almost unusable. So after reading that the chinese ROM can fix the issue I've used Xiomiflash and installed the latest official CN ROM : https://xiaomirom.com/en/download/mi-10-ultra-cas-weekly-V13.0.0.1.1.DEV/ . Fantastic photos, great camera overall but many bugs concerning all the apps installed via Google Play. no real time notifications, gmail interface very laggy , an important battery drain (10% overnight as with EU Rom was 1-2%).
So I have decided to go back. I have download and tried to install an EU ROM, it installed something but froze halfway and after a few hours I stopped the program.
Tried again and no luck, now I get the error message "anti rollback check error". I have google it, ran the cmd I have a code 1 in the phone.
On youtube there is a fix to that and all the comments are positive, so I opened the "bat" file in a txt editor and deleted the first lines about the rollback check.
Open the EU ROM with Xiaomiflash and It started to work but froze again after 10'-20' for hours.
So for the time being I think I have a bricked phone that starts with a bootloop, I can get in into the chinese recovery but using that it gets it again in the bootloop, I tbelieve that it"s booting into a corrupted ROM.
I have found this tool from XIAOMI http://zhushou.xiaomi.com/ but it's all in chinese, I have tried with a camera translator app on another phone but it's just impossible to translate.
I really really hope I can still get it back to work! Ideally with an EU rom, a 12.5 version, if downgrading it's impossible then again with the version13 beta CN ROM that worked.
Anyone any idea?
To resume evrything: Phone worked with EU ROM 12.5 - Used xiomiflash - wipe evrything- installed CN rom v13 - wipe evrything /tried to reinstall EU ROM v12.5- roll back error -stuck - wipe everything/tried to reinstall the same CN ROM V13- stuck halfway - Phone in bootloop/ fastboot -can access recovery mode that doesn't help.
I know it's long but I spent 2 full days and evenings trying to solve it :-(
Many many thanks in advance !

Hey, have you tried reinstalling using fastboot? basically start flashing from scratch. and stick to using only weekly or stable rom.
