[Q] Camera Not working after Rom flash - Need advice badly

Dear all, please refer my conversation with sotmax about why i am getting a camera failed message on V8....
Problem though, camera STILL wont work, i had stock and it worked, went to carbon rom and it didnt, i was told to wipe /sytem when i installed carbon? is that maybe the cause?
SO going to revert back to stock the go straight to V8, how do i go back to stock though?

Download odin installer and a stock fw my friend. Go to download mode by pressing vol down home and power and flash it
) ) ) over the air on GN2 ( ( (
Ok, i got odin ,re flashed stock, re rooted, install CWM , installed V8 and STILL the camera wont work, and i checked it when I installed root and it did work then
What is going on!
chaza218
Hmmmm....that lead to hardware my friend. Maybe the rom you flasged destroy your cam or its just quincidence and you need new cam.
A week ago my note was back for replacement as gyro sensor broje and got a new one...

Cam cant be broken, when i flashed the stock rom it worked?
chaza218
then if you flashed stock and is ok wipe data factory reset with stock and flash V8 after wipe
So to check, your saying I shoudl flash back to stock, root it, install CWM, then do factory reset, wipe davlik cache, wipe /cache, then flash v8?
Should i wipe /system?
also, i have checked, the MD5 of my V8 download is correct 100%
chaza218
Yes exactly that....you dont need to root. Root is needed only if you want to keep stock.
Just flash official then do a hard reset unrooted reboot to download mode flash philz touch recovery with odin(pda) wipe everything inside recovery and flash v8.
Notice that i have done a small mistake in v8 i forgot neak kernel file so if you choose neak kernel will not be flashed. Choose redpill instead...is better. I m uloading fixed version....
) ) ) over the air on GN2 ( ( (
But dont i need to root it to install CWM ? What is philz touch recovery? i was using redpill anyhow. After i have done all of that do i then root it?
Chaza218[/QUOTE]
No need of root if you re gonna flash a rom my friend.
My rom is pre rooted so the only thing you want is a good recovery.
I m suggesting this Philz touch.
Is absolutely the best.
In this link there are all files for root and recovery.
You just skip rooting
I have also a guide of how to do it
https://www.dropbox.com/s/154r7fx8y5..._by_sotmax.zip
Unzipp it in your pc and open the read me file .
You simply flash recovery then wipe data cache and dalvik and flash rom
This has still not solved my camera issue, does ANYONE have any idea??
chaza218

Conversation was quite hard to follow, hence I have a programme questions:
1. Do you currently have a properly functioning recovery programme (whether it be CWM or TWRP)?
2. Are you more or less acquainted with how to flash zips on your phone using the recovery programme. You say this all started by you flashing a ROM so flashing zips is following the same method so you should be able to do it.
If the answer to both questions is yes, then go here and download the zip file.
Place it on the external sd card of your phone.
Enter recovery mode (press volume up + power + home until Galaxy Note 2 splash screen appears).
Select the zip from your external sd card through the recovery programme and flash it.
Reboot your phone.
You now have 2 extra apps: Camera and Gallery.
Both of these are of the latest 4.2 firmware and your default system Camera and Gallery apps are now useless.
If all goes well, you now have a rather awesome and properly functioning Camera and a complementary Gallery.
???
Profit.
Let me know if it works out for you.

I can flash zips and everything yes, and my current gallery app works. When i boot camera app atm it says "camera failed"

In that case, follow this link: http://d-h.st/aIy
Download the file and flash it on to your phone. Again, let me know when you've done this and if it has worked.

Nope, didn't work. My stock camera says camera failed and the gallery works, while the 4.2 camera says that cant connect to the camera, and the 4.2 gallery is empty

I have already reply to you my friend.
Also as i said to you in my reply pm conversation is not for publish. No problem as we dont have something to hide but instead of opening a thread to public we can discuss it in rom thread without filling the whole forum with this.
Flash this and if problem still exists then you have problem with your camera module
Wipe dalvik n cache before flashing

TouchWiz ROM help

Hello there,
I'm new to Android (got me note 2 three days ago) and I rooted the phone yesterday, I flashed cm ROM into the note, because It was as simple as an iPhone, and it was fast, but I lost some of the greatest features that note 2, offers which are the multiscreen and the S-Pen features, I have posted a help thread about that and they replied that I need a Touchwiz ROM, I went to my close friend Google and searched for Touchwiz rom(s) but there were way too many, can you recommend a good light one with nice interface and noob-friendly? I would really appreciate it.
With regards,
OverDub

It's hard to say which is best. A twizz rom is a stock based rom. If you want a rom with lots of features I'd look at one of the note 3 based roms like ditto. If you want something light any rooted stock rom will do then you can use titanium backup to freeze or remove anything you don't use. If you want to increase battery life then check out apps like greenify and receiver stop. They help to stop rogue programs running in the background

Thanks for your help, seems that dn3 is good but I have a question, I'm using a Cyanogenmod ROM, will upgrading from cm to dn3 cause me any problems?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

No there will be no problem at all. If you are already on a 4.3 bootloader you will be fine If you aren't you just need to flash either the wifi patch or devil kernel to get wifi. I am on the n7105 which is slightly different. If you follow any of Dr ketan's guides you will not go wrong. Airview pen window and quad screen multi window are all pretty cool features in dn3

You can try Tiagra ROM, its supposed to be 4.3 Touchwiz ROM with the features of Note 3.

Thank you a bunch, I'm running a 4.3.1 jellybean CyanogenMod, im I going to need to flash a WiFi patch or a kernel ?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Just do a full wipe (is a must and most advisable) when you jump from 1 rom to another.
If you are not sure which bootloader you are in now (noobproof in my opinion) :
1) try download all the files you need first, and put them all on the SD card (ROM, Wifi patch N7100 dr. ketan).
2) Full wipe (if you are on philz cwm, do a clean wipe to flash new rom), and flash new rom.
3) let it boot. Try the wifi, if it doesn't work, it means you are on the old bootloader, then you have to follow the wifi patch instructions (or flash devil kernel on my device N7105).

Thank you for the reply, I have the ROM manager app which is associated with CWM, it has the (install a ROM from SD card) option, and if u press it There are two checks which are (wipe data) and (wipe cache).
Is it safe to use the ROM manager way of installing a ROM ?
P.S: I used the ROM manager way yesterday to change ROMs from cm 10.2 to cm 10.2 nightly and it worked perfectly.

Better flash MJ5 bootloader than Wifi-patch. A lot of people reported problems without new bootloader. MJ5 is knox-free.

You can try what dalanik suggest for the bootloader.
as for the flashing of DN3, I would suggest u flash Philz CWM, or TWRP. I myself use Philz CWM (I always use his since Note1, and so far give me less headache in my personal opinion/experienced).
Anyway, CM10.2 to CM10.2 nightly are still the same base CM. When you want to jump into TW from CM, I would highy recommend to do a full wipe. And the full wipe is the best do from recovery.
I'm sorry, I have no idea on using ROM manager to flash ROM on Note device. I left it long time ago. Galaxy S1 is my last device to use ROM manager.

Good advice. Most people seem to have more success with phils revovery on DN3. Aroma can be buggy at times and different recoveries can struggle with aroma

So... you really did it from ROM manager ? I guess you are faster then I reply earlier.
ok.. Now you go to this website : http://www.mediafire.com/?v6cyi52g2ydbd
and then download : philz_touch_5.00.5-n7100.tar.md5
after that you can flash it from PC Odin (since you said u still can go into download mode).
Once you see pass and your phone reboot, press vol up + home + power to go into recovery. You shall see Philz CWM there.

btw.. which version of CWM Philz installed on your phone ?
if you want the Note3 features, I only know DN3. Sorry I rarely see the N7100 ROM, because I only own a N7105.
But if you don't care about Note3 feature, I believe N7100 got so many rom you can try....

My CWM is 6.0.4.3 and the philz i downloaded before you told me to download 5.00.5 was 6.70.9 , i think its the latest.

yep correct.
If you ever consider to try again, inside Philz, when you choose wipe data/factory reset, there's option something like "Clean wipe to install new ROM". choose this one. It will do necessary wiping + formatting system/data and necessary formatting. Then you can wipe cache & dalvik. Then you can go on on flashing again.
Or... The best way that I always use, is to clean the internal storage (if I jump from TW to AOSP or the other way around), by using Zoots script. This script (custom wipe => mega wipe), will remove everything inside the internal storage. It will make a very clean place (until your backside ) to flash new ROM.
Link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983489
Use it with Philz 5.0.0.5
Just an opinion, if you would ever like to try again in the future.

All recoveries can be a bit buggy with aroma and bootloop is common. Sometimes turning the phone on and off works sometimes it can take 3 or 4 attempts to work so don't panic. I don't think one of us has never had a bootloop with aroma. As antique_sonic said I think earlier versions of phils play better with aroma. I think it's version 5.15 not 5.05 that's the one I used anyway

Im still here having problems booting 4.4.2

In all my previous posts requesting help of why my phone wont boot 4.4.2 ive never gotten a clear answer or any troubleshooting steps.
when i flash 4.4.2 with any recovery it goes to rom logo and doesnt boot past that. the only rom ive been successful with flashing is omni rom. whats the difrence between omni rom and any other regular 4.4.2 rom/
all i want to do is use carbon kk i had 4.4.2 working once before i flashed 4.3 and the wifi fix and after i flashed the wifi fix my phone stopped booting into 4.4.2 ever since ive been trying to get a odin wifi fix removal for my phone. i want to see if that will fix it but no one will help
also in cwm recovery upon wiping
you get an android_secure not found or somthing like that

The android secure issue you see is actually nothing. It is stating it cant find that directory on you sdext partition which you dont have unless you partition your sdcard.
Now why you cant boot 4.4 is kind of odd. I have gone between all versions for our phone aosp and touch wiz without any problems. I would suggest installing twrp and then running billards back to stock mc2 with counter reset (located in development section). Make sure you read the op for that thread and follow his directions. After flashing that before rebooting flash a root.zip (dont use twrp's root). Once your booted you can use odin or an app to flash cwm or philz (6.07.9 recommended) then you can flash any 4.4 you want. Just remember to wipe/format your internal sdcard (data/media) before going to 4.4.

My phone won't let me format the internal sd card it seems like Its locked or something also I've done back to stock 5 times and no luck

Which recovery and how are you trying to format internal?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Do what jlmancuso said. This will format your internal sd as well. Just go back to stock unrooted MC2 and don't bother with flashing the root till its back up and running stock unrooted. Once you do that use the Samsung Note 2 Toolkit (version 2 not 3) and choose the ALL IN ONE Root,recovery, busy box, etc option and choose the twrp recovery not clockwork. Once you get it rooted and on twrp recovery, immediately flash Phil's recovery. 6.07 version (or whichever version that has already been recommended). Then wipe everything as usual including dalvic, cache, internal sd. Then flash stock rooted MK4 in lorjay's thread. then use ODIN on your PC to flash the wifi fix. Do a prl and update profile while on stock rooted MK4. Once you are at this point you can then flash any KK rom and it should work fine. just make sure you set your phone down and let it complete the initial boot as it sometimes takes a few minutes to boot. If this does not work then you're screwed LOL. Good luck.

The red additional steps are unnecessary and make little sense. Otherwise, yup.
I'm of the hunch-ish opinion that it is the "wifi fix" that causes lots of these problems in the first place. Most everyone who flashes 4.4.2 builds and that has issues usually share the common thread of having that "wifi fix" on their phone....and that is a hunch, yes, purely on my part. In any case MK4 (radio, ROM, etc) is in no way needed to flash 4.4.2 builds.

I Have done every flash to stock with counter reset. and no matter how many times ive tried it still bootloops i need a DIRECT WIFI FIX REMOVAL

There is no such thing. All the wifi fix is a flash of the param.bin which is in the mk4 odin file. Also those who took the ota have it. It in no way effects aosp!
Are you flashing anything besides the 4.4 rom?

You mean 4.4.2? Install the latest philz touch recovery or Twrp 2.6.3.1 and higher wipe all partitions including internal , leave your external (SD card ) alone then install zip .if you are using philz touch recovery it will ask you to update binary after you choose to install zip like this "(x)update binary" uncheck that so (x) becomes ( ) and go ahead with install [no such update binary request is there when flashing via Twrp]. Also sometimes the screen is stuck on Samsung note 2 but people have successfully flashed it on the 2nd or 3rd attempt and it's a beta ROM so expect some bugs and you'll find most of your answers in the DN3 thread

1)what software version are you on now?
2)what rom are you trying to flash?
Note4 Rocking a Hybrid Rom

Not long ago, it was discovered flashing the wrong recovery will mess up the lock-screen.
Some were solved with KIES firmware restore; no root, straight to dialer type *#2663# and then TSP FW update. If KIES won't update it, power down, pull battery 30 seconds, Odin stock tar and boot then the dialer code and update.
Do that after you determine which stock tar or KIES update is recommended from Your response above.

I am using
Cyanogenmod version
12.1-20150814-nightly-trltespr 5.1.1
kernel 3.10.40-gef59855
baseversion
N910PVPU4COG5
GALAXY NOTE 4 SPRINT
How ever im trying to flash back to stock evrything.
so that i can flash a rom that uses stock fetures of note 4 (windows mode etc)
the cm 12 does not utilize these and i need those badly.
so i tried to go back even factory reset wipe all cashes
but some reasn during all those fails my system UI says fail. and my touchscreen is not in sync correctly.
i heard of wiping system cache not sure if i done that but with TWRP i wipe everything but SD

it seems this has been a common issue the word we are looking for is calibration issues
it seems it happens to this person exactly how it is happening to me
there was a solution at the bottom but those buttons do not work for galaxy note 4 spr
does anyone know the codes for doing so ?

Did you see post 3?
I suspect you need to flash OG5 first. Use KIES or Odin. I would suggest wiping all but ExtSdCard and factory reset or format data partition, then power off; pull battery 30 seconds prior to stock tar or KIES recovery.
There's a guide you can follow as well as the OP in this post/thread. But see the steps on post 3, this thread. Boot into stock right after stock flash to try to recover your touch screen. If your touch screen is OK, then follow the guide below to root stock.

I recommend you flash this rom. Mostly stock but very stable,and the developer is working on some goodies.

I recommend that you back up everything you want to keep because you need to wipe everything EXCEPT external SD card. Wipe cache, dalvik , system, and data three times. Then factory reset three times and then flash this rom.

Odin stock tar and try again.
There's also an update to CFAR (Chainfire auto root) for Note 4. After you fix your touchscreen, root with it and make a TWRP backup once that is installed. A TWRP restore plus full un-root in SuperSU may make OTA possible; CFAR backs up stock recovery.
You can use Flashify to install custom recovery. You may have installed the wrong recovery to have the touch screen out of cal like it is.
