[HELP] My camera stopped working after a failed update - Galaxy S II General

Help!!
I got the phone last sunday (15th May) from o2 and from day one I have had this problem
I updated the Samsung app then It said that there was an update available for the camera so I downloaded and started the install.
It said it would take 4 minutes but I got a error message after about 2/3 minutes and it stopped the install.
Trouble is now my camera doesn't work and I haven't got the option of trying a fresh install of the camera firmware.
Tried
soft/hard reset
flash ke2 firmware
but I cant get the camera functioning again
Any ideas apart from taking it back to the store which I dont want to do as they have no more in stock?

Have you tried flashing back to whatever firmware was on the phone when you bought it? I know you said you'd re-flashed KE2 but was that the stock FW? Try flashing stock KE1, see if that helps.

The firmware that was on it originally was the one before the ke1 but I cant find that one on o2.
I will have another look tomorrow after work.

[ROM] Samsung I9100 Original stock

thanks for the link todo700
I flashed with the very first software but still no joy in getting the camera working.
I noticed that one of the options on the *#*#34971539#*#* menu is -CAM to phone FW Dump
If someone can dump their working FW with this option then I assume I can install it with the PHONE to Cam FW Write?

Hmmm, crap... I'm actually a bit scared to try this Got the phone yesterday and would like to know for sure exactly what the Cam to phone FW dump does (even though the name is pretty explanatory).

Yeah I wonder if any can confirm that is safe to dump the camera fw to phone?
I have seen on the galaxy s forum that they have successfully used the write camera fw from phone to flash new firmware.
It would be good if it is possible to do it this way then we will be able to back up our camera firmware incase any has problems like I am having at the minute with my camera.

Right sorted phone exchanged instore (gave me one that was reserved for someone else cos they had none left)
Phone is already on KE2 firmware but this one is locked to o2.

damn, I'm another victim of the failed update via samsung apps.
Unfortunately I can not return it (bought it in another country).
Can someone take a dump of the cam firmware and upload it so I can write it properly?
Partial solution -
So I reflashed various firmwares, dumped the camera FW to phone and tried to reload it (this failed as they were the same version.
If I disable auto flash the cam works fine, though the video sometimes works and sometimes does not.

Help me plz i also have this problem and don't know what to do !!!

Do you know any firmware newer than this? bcoz i cannot update again it says i already have the latest version, but actually i have failed the update.

I got the same problem. Any solutions?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

Same here, anyone came up with workable solution to reverse the update or replace with a working firmware. If it was possible just to re-install the firmware using the update then things would be so much simpler !

long shot but have you tried the emergency firmware recovery option in kies?

this thread has convinced me*not* to update the cameras firmware!
is there a change log anywhere to show what the update gives?

Probably not. I just updated the camera with no problem at all. But can't say i noticed any difference, i still have the pink spot.

don't tell me about little faults i haven't noticed yet (or don't have)

Try reading a few threads and you will get worried, lol. Just a pink spot on camera, a yellow tint in the lower left of the screen when using lower brightness and a blue tint when rotating. Those are just the screen issues Ignore them if you wanna sleep comfortably at night

hmm, mine don't seem to have any of those

Just finished installation of this firmware.
First noticeable difference is that baseband version is different from previous versions, i think different from JPM too...
Will try this firm for a day or more and will post the comments.

free firmware with chinese as default language
I flashed this yesterday, after having bvjp9 for a while. I like it and it certainly feels faster. UK English was default language for me, although, i had to change the keyboard from Chinese to Samsung. No issues thus far, and little bloatware.

it wont work from JPM. You need to rollback to DDJG6 and then update to this one....
Also remove boot.bin and sh.bin from package to avoid bricking
i notice this ,Taiwan ver is ZFJPF is Provider firmware
have Q MARKET and some useless software inside
this ver I5801ZHJPF is me update from kies ZHJH1 "street buy ver"
it have a "windows live msg" is only work on hongkong 3G network(wifi is not work)
Been using this ROM since morning. So far so good. Below is my observation:
1. Battery bug is there. When battery goes down, restart phone and it is good again
2. GPS is same as JPM. Got sattelite connection in under 10 seconds
3. I dnt know but looks like its me with the popping sound. Majorly happens when i am using headphones and screen goes Blank. Wake up the phone and it pops
4. Media Scanning takes longer than JPM

The version I used was ZHJPF, downloaded from another post, using medifire, before this was released by Samfirmware, and there are no erroneous apps present.
I am now able to browse the internet using HSPDA, previously only 3G was available to me using JP9. Perhaps my GiffGaff signal has improved, but it seems coincidental.
It is most definitely faster, than JP9, and, I will be keeping a close watch on battery life. WiFi and GPS are also working well. I am now rooted, and my Live Wallpapers are running smoothly.
I wanted to keep my 5801 identity, and until we get something decent in Europe, I would recommend this firmware, as a good Froyo base.

Hi Guys,
I am facing problem re-upgrading to this ROM. Due to certain reason i had to install JPM. Afterwards i rolled back to DDJG6 and updated to this one but stuck at Samsung Logo.
Tried removing cache, factory reset but unable to upgrade to this one...
Kindly suggest

The Baseband version for this is I5801ZHJP3; not sure that helps you, but when I flashed initially, I went from JP9, and did not factory reset, and it worked just fine as an upgrade. I tried it, liked it and then reset and clean flashed.
Samfirmware twittered Froyo by the end of April for Galaxy 3, so our best bet is to try and use what we can for now.

I had the same very very sad issues the first day of use, then i updated the MDK firmware to latest available at this time (MF3).
And now Camera is OK.
(GT9500)
+ I somewhere read that it can be a RAM related issue, not enough RAM remains available and doesn't allow the camera application to well open. Check this!

Try a clearing the camera app data in settings/all applications and reboot or do a data/factory reset. If that doesn`t help reflash the rom you have with Odin.

This is Samsung software "numbering". From MEA release camera has been updated and for me cleaned all issues I have opening the application. (Now they are at MG1 version)
To update your firmware you should connect to KIES and Samsung will tell you what to do!
If you don't want to wait you should install an up to date custom ROm, explanation are available in sticked first threads.
Don't worry we were all beginners before!

I did a factory reset this morning, it was working well, then running the barcode scanner (which uses the camera), it rebooted again. Kies says I'm up to date..
Maybe a faulty phone then?

[Q] Omega Rom - screen rotation broken?

So, here i am, proudly owning a Galaxy S4 i9505.
I'm not really new to flashing, cooking and such stuff since i owned my sensation for 3 days
So i rooted my S4, decided to try this Omega Rom. All seems to be fine, till now when i realised that the auto-rotation is broken.
It is active in settings and i tried multiple launchers (that crappy TouchWiz thing, Nova and ADW).
Yes i activated it also in the launchers settings but nothing happend.
Restarted, took out battery, waited for a couple of seconds, nothing.
Is it a problem with the rom or maybe something went wrong during the flash process or is my sensor broken?
I thought i ask before trying go back to stock.
And dont blame me for this crappy **** of english.
Ok it seems that no sensor is working at all

Ty for this app. This app didn't get something so i went back to stock.
And now i have the problem that every VD2 firmware just gets me The SIM CSC which is a provider from Slovenian. Just curios things going on there. (+ no Vodafone apps installed)
DTB working fine though...

I went back to stock and tried a couple of original VD2 firmwares for Germany.
The first 5 i tried were located to Slowenia with the CSC: SIM. Kies told me that.
So i couldnt get updates OTA and from Kies.
Then i simple debranded my phone, and flashed the DBT firmware. All was fine. Updates working.
I tried another Vodafone Rom and now i got the Vodafone apps and the CSC: DBT???
So no updates OTA and with Kies.
I need to fix this and go back to CSC: VD2 because a couple of sensors are broken (warranty).

Some hardware of the device was broken. Samsung sent me a new one
I've got a problem quite similiar to you
havent tried to re up the ROM yet, and I dont think it's the problem from the hardware aspect

It is a problem of the hardware aspect at least with my phone.
I think i crashed it when i was drunk, so maybe check your right upper corner on collisions.
Samsung was in my case very friendly. New phone, no change of the sensors.

[Q] note 3 camera issue

I purchased a pre owned Note 3 from C-ex and the camera is not working, when u select camera it is a black screen with the camera icons tho, the icons are not responsive and after a while it says camera is not working. the man in shop where I purchased it from said they believe it worked fine before 4.4.2 update and only stopped working after this update.
anyone have any solutions for this so I can possibly get camera working

You've got some reading to do. Look for the stickies at the top of forums - usually there's a guide there for how to do basic stuff with your phone. First thing would be to find out how to use Odin (software on your PC) to flash the software for your phone. You can get the latest release for your specific phone from sammobile,com - they have the firmware listed. You will need to sign up but it's free.
You will need to DL the samsung USB drivers and install them on your PC.
Then you use Download mode to connect your phone to the computer and flash the firmware. When it's finished you have a as-new phone set up.
If the camera doesn't work then there is something wrong with it.
Feel free to ask, but make sure you do your research. XDA'ers help them who helps themselves.

Update for S8 Active [G892U] Firmware S1ARB3 (2/24/2018)

See picture
Model: G892U
file size: 98.67MB
security patch level: February 1, 2018
[edit] 2/25/2018
My Samsung Pay gets very laggy after the update. Even after the full wiped. Anyone else experienced the same issue?
My camera now crashes when trying to open after the update. Anybody have this issue? I've tried restarting, clearing the cache, starting in safe mode, and even factory reset. This is really pissing me off. I can use other camera apps but the stock camera crashes. I wanted to try odin back to stock but it keeps getting stuck on file analysis. Please help!
Mine works fine after the update. Therefore my Samsung Pay is still same stuttered since last update.

How about contact Samsung for a warranty replacement? I suppose they give you a new unit if they couldn't help you to get the camera work.
I have the Rogers S8+ and it's visibly smoother than before for me. Must be a T-Mobile thing.
Thank you
I know this is an old thread but can we, somehow, make G892U carrier free? Like I've got a sprint phone but am no longer in the US. Is there some unlocked firmware for this phone?
