[Q] [Error] Camera Error - Can't connect to camera - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello all,
Ok this may seem a bit long, so I apologize in advance. I have been at this for a week and haven't been able to find a fix. I don't use my camera much so I am not sure when the problem started but I was running LiquidSmooth on my s3 and one fine day I get this error when I start the camera app, "Camera Error : Cant connect to camera" . I started restarting, clearing cache, no luck. So I restored stock ROM through Odin, and strangely the error still persists. Only difference is on a stock rom it shows up as "Warning: Camera failed". I searcehd xda and other sites and found other people having similar problems, but there is no guaranteed fix to this.
One possible fix is described here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006128 . I tried this but when I try to check my firmware version using the dialer code, i get an error " Factory test has stopped"
There are a number of other suggestions that U tried as well, some of them include finding the correct "SLIM_ISP.bin file and placing them on your /root folder, but so far no luck. I also have a spare camera module that I swapped but the damn thing still won't work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Look a few posts down. Might be your bootloader.
There is another thread.. Think in development regarding bootloaders with flashable zip files.
Good luck

I updated my bootloader and modem before the rom. That broke the camera for me. Updating the rom to 4.1.2 fixed it for me. Make sure your bootloader matches your rom.

Well, I just tried doin that, but no luck. I am currently on DLK3 stock rom. and I flashed the odin file from this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41503727 .. Were you referring to something else?

If you are running a 4.1.1 rom with the mg2 4.1.2 bootloader cam gets borked. There's an app that will tell you what bootloader you have. Vice versa I believe. Running the lk3 4.1.1 bootloaders on a 4.1.2 cam will bork.

Flash the new intergalactic rc5 a few pages back from last post and let me know if the cam starts working... Wipe dalvic ect after flash. Also get root checker from market and make sure your on mg2bootloader just to make sure it's not only the mg2 modem

Tried that , doesnt work, also i verified that the bootloader is mg2. I did a little more digging , if you go to /root/sys/class/camera/rear, you can see the firmware for the rear camera, mine only shows up as (null) (null), no matter which ROM or bootloader I install. The front cam firmware shows up fine. Dont know if that will help you guys identify the problem, just thought I would mention it. Any other suggestions?

Camera not connected
Weird, after having a lot of problems when I flashed the official I9300XXUGMK6 Official Samsung ROM JB 4.3 the phone any more could register to the net, looked and looked every where and many solutions appeared, I was afraid to apply some of them but then hierarchy666 suggested to apply the Ultima v 15 ROM and the patch for that version, did so but selecting the xxemh1 modem and the speedmod kernel , and yes it did work, my phone was alive again , but then I tried to take some photos and my camera presented the Camera not connected error.
So I reinstalled the ROM and patched etc etc etc and still I´m presenting the problem, then I decided to try the same Samsung Kernel included in the Ultima Titan ROM and after rebooting I had camera but no registered to the net, kind of weird and think something is missing or corrupted .
Any idea
Regards
Ultima ROM seems to be great and if it could work 100 % could be the best ROM to try.

Hey Avishek were you able to fix your camera problem... I have the exact same problem as yours and the can rear fw shows null null in my case too...

For all those who are having problems with CM or in my case even Gummy not being able to connect to camera. After scowering for 3 hours the internet I have finally fixed my problem. What I did was to flash CM and Gapps, making sure to wipe cache even before installing Gapps after CM. But this time instead of running camera straight off, I went into the file browser with root access. Navigated to my /system/cameradata folder and immediatlely 777 all the Slims.bin's..My camera now works like a charm! (for now)..
I noticed that when trying to change permissions after running camera for the first time, there were some .bin's that had different permissions than others (on some of them I didn't have to check as many permission options). When I went in before running it, any x or r were completely blocked, so I did my 777 and now all works correctly. I hope this helps anyone having this frustrating problem! I did NOT want to go back to stock rom, copy files, re-flash CM, paste files..or some other fixes that were out there..
Good Luck! (I hope this is in the proper area, I don't usually post in forums so forgive me if it is)..LOVE XDA! Has helped me solve countless problems!

hey guys, having the same issue, so Skype works (front camera) , If I launch straight into it after a boot., can't switch to the back camera
I tried factory reset, then I unlocked the BL and put on CM12 , the camera app would open and just hang there , when try to open again it would have camera cannot connect.
Run hardware info from Play Store, it sees both camera fine, this is just the strangest error...
EDIT:didn't see the post above will try that tonight

Yeahh this is an ongoing issue for both stock Os and asop OS
Not sure why.. sem to he an issue hardware wise

[Q] Unable to flash Stock ROM

I bought a T-Mobile Galaxy S 3 LTE with model number SGH-T999L. I used Odin V3 1.85 to flash TWRP recovery and CyanogenMod 10.0.0.
Everything went well but my camera doesn't work. On launching the camera, I get a "Can't connect to camera" error and it quits. The same behavior is observed when using other camera apps. I tried the instructions in this thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239414) but it did not fix my problem. I now want to go back to my stock ROM. I successfully downloaded and flashed stock recovery using Odin. However, Odin fails when I try to flash the stock ROM obtained from the samsung website. It gives me a "write failed" error and stops. Any tips or suggestions to help me out would be appreciated. Thanks
Is it supposed to use T999 firmware?
Only odin flash T999L firmware. I dont see it released yet at samsing-updates.com though.
Maybe samfirmware.com? I can look later.

Why not reflash the stock ODIN flash rom and make sure it all works ok for you, that will tell you exactly what the problem is.
If the stock rom is working properly, then there is only one thing left which is the culprit and that is the CM10/AOKP/AOSP
or PORTED roms which many people seem to like flashing.
The CM10/AOKP/AOSP and ported roms are excellent if you are a developer or if you like to do a lot of experimentation with your phone.
So the thing to do now is reboot your phone to recovery mode, do a "Factory Reset", "Wipe Cache", "Wipe System" and "Wipe Dalvik".
When that's done Open Odin and put the stock rooted T999 Tmobile Jellybean 4.1.2 into Odin's PDA slot, go into download mode
and once you see Odin is connected to the phone start the flash. Have patience for the phone to boot after its done flashing.
Here is the stock rooted Odin flash T999 Tmobile Jellybean 4.1.2 rom that you can download if you like: T999_UVDMD5
Official JB Firmware - Latest JB 4.1.2 Firmware
My suggestion to you is to only flash Samsung T999 Tmobile stock based Jellybean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 roms in the future.
But who am I to say whats best..... This is just my personal opinion...... Which usually is not worth a dime. LOL
Sorry, but untill we know more about it, I would not flash T999 firmware onto the T999L.
Its only been out a day and tgey are different model phones with different hardware.
If you decide to try anyway, please post your results

I am a newbie. I thought the T999 was the same as the T999L. That would explain why Odin doesnt flash stock T999 onto my device. Can anyone here post a link to the stock SGH-T999L ROM?
Just did a quick check and I dont see that the firmware has been made available for download yet.
If you want stock I would flash one of the stock based custom roms via recovery for now.
Out of curiosity, what is your current baseband version?

I had the same issue with the same phone. Got it 2 weeks ago haha. Did you happen to make a backup first using CWM Recovery? If so, you can just restore that backup and you'll have your camera functionality back. It's pretty annoying switching back and forth from CM10.1 back to stock just to take pictures but Rom manager makes it pretty quick and effortless.
Actually now that I think of it, they prob wont release the original firmware. Seems like the first build is never available, only when an update is released do we get firmware we csn download.
I am working with another member on getting something going for the T999L, but right now we are stuck until a verified safe method of rooting is found. (Dont want to flash a recovery or cf autoroot w/o knowing it wont screw something up)
Itll happen, but we just gotta be patient.
Just reread the op and see that you say you flashed TWRP. So you were able to initially gain root without any problems?

I used Odin to flash Clockwork Mod recovery first. I did not like Clockwork Mod's interface and reflashed with TWRP. I had no problems to gain root with either of these methods. I also tried Cyanogenmod stable 10.0.0 and then 10.1 RC2 without any problems. As far as I can tell, all apps work except for the camera. One word of caution though. As you can see from my posts, I am new and dont know what I am doing. I might have just gotten lucky since my device is still unbricked. I had only one "scary" moment during the entire process. I used TWRP to wipe my phone clean and was stuck with no OS install file. ADB sideload did not work since it could not recognize the device at that point. Luckily, I had a micro SD card lying around and was able to put in a new OS install file using my laptop and then TWRP was able to handle it.

Wish I had made a backup! Could you zip up the files contained inside "/system/cameradata/" folder and post a link here? It would help me and anyone else with the same problem restore the camera's functionality. In case you want to try it out, follow the instructions in this link but using the files from your stock backup

How did you get Cyanogenmod installed on the t999l every time i try it aborts with status 7
Mine was failing with this same error. I reverted back to stock, re rooted, then downloaded the flash directly to the phones internal storage. Worked like a champ. I think in my case, there is an issue with the SD card, its kind of old.

[Q] Wi-fi issues across the board. What should I do?

Hello XDA community, my brother has been having wi-fi and bluetooth issues on his T-MO Note II ever since applying the 4.3 OTA. Before I go on, the first thing I did was use CF-auto root and flash both agni pure stock and devil kernel and neither of them have worked. In addition, I have used dr.ketans patch as well as flashing some AOSP based ROMs such as AOKP and SlimKat and neither of them have yielded any results. I have tried almost everything I can find via XDA and I am truly stumped.
Do you guys have any solutions to the wifi issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated! :good:
Can you elaborate, what wifi issues ?
Frequent disconnects ?
Battery drains ?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Wi-fi wil not turn on whatsoever. I can press the icon to turn it on and it will slide to the on position greyed out, and then go back to off right away. The same for bluetooth as well.
If the phone was already on 4.3 then wifi patch was not needed.
I would advise to flash stock image and start fresh. Make sure to wipe dalvik-cache after flashing stock ROM.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Thanks, I will try that when I can. By any chance do you know where I can find a 4.3 image? I've tried looking into the stickies over at the Dev section and they don't have 4.3 as far as I can recall. The only 4.3 image I see is the stock root injected one from Mr.Robinson.
You can download one from sammobile.com. You will have to register though, make sure you download the file for sgh-t889.

I just wanted to say thank you to both ciphercodes and Squilchi for all your help. My brother also says a big thanks as he doesn't have an account here. When the Note II finished rebooting from the image flash via Odin, I almost freaked out because nothing had seemingly changed but then I realized I was already on the 4.3 OTA. I also had an spectacular noob moment by forgetting to wipe cache in stock recovery. After I did that, I am glad to report that Wi-fi and bluetooth work as it's supposed to. I can't say thank you enough. In the odd occasion that this should happen again, a wipe of cache in stock recovery should be okay correct?

Glad to know issue was resolved. By default it's highly unlikely that these problems will return on a stock ROM but if they do then flashing back to stock is the most optimal solution.
Unfortunately I may have spoken too soon. Wi-Fi was working just fine for a bit but suddenly it can't connect to the network nor see any other networks. It can still turn on but connecting to remembered networks and seeing other networks are a no-go. Bluetooth is wonky as well. I'm starting to think it's hardware but I doubt it.

I have yet to wipe data since it seemed okay although the notion has been floating in my head. I did wipe cache and shortly after, it didn't work.

Just a little update, I booted to stock recovery and performed a factory reset and wipe cache partitions but still nothing after it booted. To answer your question, I did use Odin 3.09 and it was already on MK7 prior to my first flash of the tar file in Odin. This is so frustrating.
Sorry for the double post, but I just did a factory reset and wipe cache and just re-flashed the tar file with update bootloader ticked and still a no-go. It's a shame the 4.3 update has borked my brother's Note II to this extent but it seems like the majority of people don't experience this. I'm stumped....

Prior to all this madness, I did try flashing JediMasterX2(I think) and AOKP, two ROMs that I would heavily associate with being stable and basically have everything work. Unfortunately, they didn't work. After all that went down and I restored my backed-up OTA all the way to now, it has been on MK7 stock kernel since then. I'm about to flip a table or something.

[Q] GT-N7105t and DN3 rom v3.2

Hi,
I have been a lurker for a while now, have not contributed before as usually any problem i have had someone else has had and posted a solution, but i have ran into a problem i can't seem to find a solution for and while some have had similar problems there has been different causes.
So here is my problem.
I have the above mentioned GT-N7105t Note II. not locked to any carrier. I have tried a few roms and really like the DN3 but the Phone app FC's on me. this is what i have done so far.
1. Factory reset
2. Root device
3. instal through twrp the dn3 rom
4. used the 4.3 boot loader with the N7105 MK5 kernel.
5. phone boots up fine and every thing seemed to work.
6. updated to v3.2, again everything seemed fine, wifi, gps,camera, sms. but never tried the phone as i was receiving sms i thought it was all good.
7. loaded Xposed installer and the tweaks/files i like.
8. received a call and the phone app Fc'd
from then on i went back to square one and the phone app Fc's from the very first instal even straight after clean fresh instal.
would this be a Modem problem? cause i tryed reinstall from the stock 4.3 rom and still does the same. sms messages come through fine, but receive a call or try to use the phone app and it dc's and the actual connection stops to for a few seconds to about 30, i gather this is because the app crashes.
anyone have any ideas? i have like i said done a search but can't find anyone with exact same problem.
Cheers
Which bootloader did you use ? The one in the op is for American variants only, it isn't for the n7105 anyway.

would this be a Modem problem? cause i tryed reinstall from the stock 4.3 rom and still does the same. sms messages come through fine, but receive a call or try to use the phone app and it dc's and the actual connection stops to for a few seconds to about 30, i gather this is because the app crashes.
anyone have any ideas? i have like i said done a search but can't find anyone with exact same problem.
Cheers

Not sure if this will help but give it a try, extract secphone from stock 4.3 and replace the one in your phone, set permission, reboot. I am no expert, but you can give it a try.
Thanks for advice. I gave up and went back to stock. Till 2 weeks ago. Now on DN3 +5 and everything is great except for gps. Doesn't work at all and all the fix advice on here doesn't work either.

Ok gps seems to be working for most people. Can you post in the main at&t thread what option you picked in aroma, any mods you have made/flashed, which bootloader, which kernel, which model/operator and where abouts in the world you are. If we can find something you have in common we can fix it

Think we have found the culprit and @Bajanman will be posting something later after he's finished testing it. Will you do me a favour and look in system/etc with a root explorer and tell me what the permissions are for your gps.conf file are
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk
That would be great. I have tried everything I can think of. Was going to look at if maybe i needed to flash a modem.
My permissions are rw-r--r--
Would the Knox have anything to do with it as I have mine tripped. It didn't worry me at the time but if that could be a cause I'll kick myself.

Your on the right lines with modem. It looks like you have to have the modem to match your gps.conf. @Bajanman will be posting something later today. I can't replicate the issue so can't really fix it lol
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk
Yeah following the thread he posted in. For some reason can't post in that thread myself. But the fix don't work for me I'm in Australia. Running stock kernel. Installed everything except the kids mode. The bill. Prop and Google drive.
As fare as mods/weaks only the usual SU/triangle away. Using twrp 2.7

The funny thing is the very first time after fresh ROM install and gps fix it works in that I can see satellite system but it takes ages to lock on . But then all of a sudden when I restart app all satellite system are gone. This is really sitting me off

Hi. I'm gonna try flashing modem and csc but can't find out how to extract from 4.3 or even 4.1 from stock FW to try to fix my GPS problem. And help or direction you could give me would be great. I have tryed searching xda but a little confused with some of the info so I thought I'd do it myself to make sure I got right files. I'm in Australia with undranded gt-n7105t.

do you have a stock 4.3 or 4.4 download for your device ? If you can extract the rom you can use this to extract the files you need from the system.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294909
The modem.bin will already extracted
I can only find stock 4.3 for your device

Thanks. I got the stock 4.3 and 4.1.2 I think from memory. Will give it a try.

Réinstallation of cm11
New Kernel.
Installation of the stock 4.4 rom still having the same problem!
New Kenel
Flashing the most updated modem.
Here's my info

Download the Google Specific No SSL version (first download link). Flash that in recovery. See if that helps.
If it doesn't, try the next one, the Google specific one with SSL
If that doesn't work, look further down the list and use the one specific to your carrier.
If that doesn't work...I dunno.
You will likely have to flash this again when you update the ROM. But no big deal. You can do it in recovery right after you flash the ROM update.

Yep. @kiruba8 is right. You have to delete the GPS cached data and give it some time and it will fix itself.

That was extraordinarily uncalled for.
I pointed to to where I had laid on detailed instructions on what you shoudl try first.
Why you are resorting to name calling because of it is beyond me. Good luck fixing your problem.....on your own.

I agree postmeridianlyf please go open your own tread as I don't wanna have name calling on mine, I want and answers...
Well see, I asked if op got it working. I appreciate your help in the thread but I'm not going to go flashing files without finding out if it worked or not... Seeing as it didn't, I'll gladly leave.

Hi,
So here's what I've done.
First Im pretty sure its related to the modem or radio? is it the same? I remember flashing a 4.3 rom from 4.2 and the network wasnt working so I had to flash a md5 modem.
Now I tried flashing official 4.2.2
No go.
Upgrading official to 4.3
No go
Upgrading official to 4.4
No go
Now I'm back on CM 11 because I like the rom.
I don't know what to do next...

If you have flashed official firmware then it is not radio/modem related. It would be hardware related. This is the reason I stay away from CM. It works perfect while you use it but once you go back to TW it causes conflicts for me most of the time. I have used GPS status and cleared the cached GPS data and downloaded the GPS data and it fixes itself within minutes. I also have at least 2 users that had your same issue use the app and followed the instructions and confirmed the method to be working. I believe that CM leaves remnants of the system that cause a conflict with any other system. I had a full wipe file in my extsd but deleted it somehow. I can't remember where I got it from but it does wonders. It wipes everything and prevents leftover crap from the previous ROM or system so there is no conflicts. For example there is a folder in my internal SD called wicked ROM that I cannot delete for the life of me! The only way that I could get rid of it would be going back to stock or flashing the full wipe zip that I no longer have because I lost it. Anyway I will try to find this zip and share with you and you can flash you ROM after. Hopefully it will work for ya.

I'm in the exact same boat as the op... And I've tried all the same steps to fix it (including the gps app) but with no luck. Only difference being that I'm not on CM. I'm on the 4.4.2 GE ROM (aosp)
Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks fellas
