[Q] Camera doesn't work after ROM flashing - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
last Thursday my phone had a boot loop, so I've decided to change the ROM.
I flashed my HTC Desire with Runny ROM 6.1.1 and since that time my camera doesn't work, flash either.
When I try to start camera app there is only black screen and phone restarts in 10 seconds.
I was trying with other ROM and official GB, but camera is simply dead.
Is there anything that I can do with it? Install some fix or update?
I have latest radio and cm7/r2 hboot.
Any ideas?

Do u test it by installing any camera app from play store?

with many apps but still the same effect

Try installing an AOSP build and check your result....what caused your phone boot loop?

Did you do a full wipe?

What is AOSP?
Yes, I did full wipe and build the partitions on sd-card from scratch.

AOSP is an original android rom, without HTC Sense or any other interface.(like sandvold's ics)

I don't know what caused boot loop, but I've tried cache and dalvik wipe, without success.
I will try later to flash some AOSP ROM and write here the results. Anyway I've tried already to flash RUU Gingerbread and camera was dead.
There's still no camera on AOSP Sandvolds ICS.
I think that I will disassemble my Desire and check the connections.

Wipe everything.
Boot, system, data, cache, dalvik. Then flash the ROM again. Wiping everything before flashing should be standard procedure for you.

I did it 3 or 4 times in a row. Nothing changed.

Hardware problem, try with connectors, but I think that you'll need a camera replacement.

ok, I disassembled my phone and checked all connections. Camera still doesn't work, but phone don't switch off when I try to execute camera app.
I will try one more time to do something with software.

Hi guys, ich disassembled my Desire one more time and guess what. There was one contanc loose. On the lower main board the left board-to-board connector. I put it into the socket and now everything works perfectly!
Anyway thank for your tipps guys!

Have u factory reset cleared cache and also cleared dalvik?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Alright..
Firstly, reboot into recovery and wipe full data & the dalvik cache.
Second, flash a rom to which your device fulfills all requirements (eg. not D2EXT, D++)
Third, restart your device after installing the ROM.
Fourth, WAIT!!!!! if it doesnt boot after like 15 minutes then something has gone wrong somewhere.
Just to make things easy to start with, you should try using a rom that doesn't require an ext2/3/4 partition and just uses fat. Unless you are confident you can do that correctly.

thanks all ,after wipe partition and wipe data factory , worked with me.
this wipe partion deleted my ext partition also?

Seriously, you should do a little reading tutirials and guides on flashing.
You cannot flash a ROM with a different base on top of another - that's why the bootloops. (E.g. Flashing DHDport on top of Stock Rooted or GB on FROYO won't work without wiping).
Secondly, it is wiped it - ergo FORMATTED it, the ext partition is still there.

I understand that i have to see which radio can work with?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Listen, everybody's here to help each other. It's what we android users do.
A little of "Please", and "thank you very much", "you guys are great"... goes a long way...
As for the radio, the easiest would have been, to upgrade your stock system to Froyo 2.29 before running the ROM.
Stock, before a custom ROM. This would probably avoid any radio problems.
If your phone is working and you have no issues, then you shouldn't worry about it.
Some people, get a little angry, when the same problem happens over and over again, and there are posts to cover these problems.
But, I think most of us, will jump right in, and give a hand to those who ask politely. And give a big thanks, when the issue is fixed.
Oh, and all ROMs are not created to work with Desire...

[Q] HTC Desire keeps rebooting

After flashing a custom rom which I downloaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038195, my Desire keeps rebooting.
You see the AlphaRev screen at the begin and now it won't go on.
I recovered the phone and tried to install the custom rom again and it still keeps rebooting!
My phone is rooted and S-off'ed
Can anyone help me?
Maybe I did something wrong.. I've no idea.
I really appreciate any help!
Ps. I'm a beginner at root, flash etc.
(Sorry for my bad English)
Did you do a full wipe? Data and cache.
If yes, do you have a ext partition and did you check the tread, I believe there are more people with boot issues on the latest leedroid.

Yes I did both wipes, and yes I have a ext partition.
Unless it's ext4 (should be ext3) you need to starch the thread for solutions.
Edit: you're using bravo stock hboot right?

Maybe try a different rom temporarily? If it works, problem is with the rom file, if it won't, problem is with handset or SD? Maybe need to copy important stuff from SD to PC then reformat the card?
I just downloaded another ROM and it works fine.
I think the ROM I''ve downloaded had problems or something...
Anyway thank you guys, I really appreciate it.
This thread can be closed.
I have a problem as well, my phone keeps rebooting when I try to record video, I just had the damn Camera repaired
Was running oxygen but flashed stock. Still happening.
Will it need to go back for repair, sucks to go days without it.

OK BRO..THANX FOR YOUR HELP...Right now device is at home...will re-download, and get back to you, my device is S-OFF, So using superwipe will not affect that? or i will have to re-root? give me the link of a guide for using superwipe if possible...once again thanks alot for your attempt to sort out my problem...
Superwipe won't remove s-off. Check out the origianl thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044992
It is a really good tool, I use everytime I switch roms and it does seem to make a difference.

@cjward23: As per your instruction, i downloaded it again and also used your superwipe to wipe data/cache..and then installed desire s g2 port, but still having same issue, phone booted up properly with my network logo appeared as well, but when i unlock screen, it shown htc logo, actualy all roms show it, but within 5 minutes i see htc setup like time zone, google accounts etc, but this desire s didnt, it just stucked to that htc logo like its installing something, but no setup appears, this time i waited for 10 minutes, but no change...so far i get back to insertcoin sense/gingerbread 1.4, which is working properly as usual...actualy i just need fm radio...can you help me geting fm radio on insertcoin rom?

Apps constantly crashing and wifi/mobile network not working

This started happening a while ago (app crashing) on a different rom, and since then I've tried the following with no success;
New rom
New kernel
Full wipe
New gapps (not required on my current rom)
relocked and unlocked bootloader, upgraded from 0.95 to 1.28
Nothing seems to be working on any rom, and now I have just got out of a battery bootloader bootloop the past couple days my phone seems also unable to handle connections; I supposedly have signal however I receive no texts, data connection isn't working as my gmail account has not been synced (so I have no contacts etc) and wifi crashes when I turn it on.
I'm starting to worry this may be a hardware fault! However considering I have unlocked my bootloader I won't be able to return it under warranty! Can you suggest anything else to try? I haven't fully wiped my whole storage (sd card and all) is that an option to try?
Thanks for any help I can get
bump, really stuck here
If you you are using an AOSP Rom a special kernel is required for the new HBoot. Or has this happened on the old HBoot too? If so a hard reset might solve the problem.

Yeah I am using an AOSP rom but it happened on HBOOT 0.95 and still on 1.28. Is that a factory reset from the bootloader? Also which kernel is it? I just used the boot.img included in the zip
You can do it from the bootloader. Essentially its just wiping everything including the sd storage. I dont have much time to look for it right now because im working. But if you use the search function you should find it have you tried to redownload the rom?

This is the rom I'm using atm http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784185 (CM is based on AOSP right?)
and is this the kernel you're talking about? http://htcfanboys.com/download/seadersn/?action=view&file=14552 ? However don't I also
need the zip to flash in CWM?
Yes it is an AOSP Rom, but you dont need the the modified kernel because tripnraver solved the problem in his kernels and Rom. Since you have the problem on other ROMs too i would suggest to perform a hard reset and see if the problem still exists. Just backup everything and reflash Rom.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I might try this AOKP rom that I used before, according to the OP there is a specific boot.img you must use for HBOOT 1.28, so I've downloaded that to and when I get home I'll give it a try. It says a full wipe is required, does that just mean cache/dalvik/wipe in CWM or do I need to run the SuperWipe.zip?

Sorry I just saw this reply, I'll try a factory reset before I try the other rom, cheers
I cant factory reset, everytime I do it just goes into CWM?
I just formatted each partition separately in CWM, re installed etc and pretty much everything seems to be back up and running However I am still having the SMS crash issue :S even though my whole SD card is wiped
At least the rest is working still weird though. Does that happen with any sms app?

[Q] Problem when installing PACman

I follow all the instructions for installing PACman on my HTC One V (GSM version), but when everything is finished and I restart my phone, it gets stuck on the HTC welcome screen. I figured it was because of a buggy kernel, so I used hellboy's, but when it does start up, it doesn't have any connectivity (no wifi, network, data transfer etc). I'm now running cyanogen without any problems what so ever, so I guess my phone's not broken. Any tips?
You have to do a full wipe from recovery,or it will give those bugs.
which pac man rom bro.... there is a 4.2.2 kernel u need to use that with the latest ROM
I did do a full wipe, like 5 times, and I'm using the bundled kernel.
