Hey All,
I have the ATT S3 variant, and for the longest time I was running a TW based rom that was made from a galaxy note rom and supported multiview.I decided to flash my phone back to LK3 stock and now my camera won't work. Ive tried wiping the cache and doing a factory reset. I've tried the reinstall a couple of times. Out of curiosity, I flashed CM10.2 and the camera worked fine. I Once again tried flashing the stock rom, but the issue still persists. Whenever I open up the camera app I get the error "Camera Failed". I tried typing in the code to get the camera firmware version, but it just shows a black screen. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

Help, I brokeded my phone trying to use this ROM!
I recently tried to flash the 4.3 Stock MOD ROM to my ATT S3. It wasn't smooth for me so I Nandroided back to 4.1.1. and now my camera does not work and I get an error that says "Cant connect to the Camera" or "Camera failed" depending if I use the Jelly Bean Camera or the Samsung camera.
No fault of the ROM I’m sure but I need help figuring out what I’ve done wrong. I switched back to my Nandroid backup of 4.1.1 Stock because 4.3 was just NO smooth for me. Also I can’t stand regular keyboard, I need my Samsung Note 2 keyboard!
4.3 had a lot of laggy-ness and random crashing. I flashed the Modem, ROM and Kernel in the order with the steps listed per the OP.
When I decided to go back to my backup, I flashed the DLK3 Stock Modem, then flashed back to my backup and wipe the various caches.
Everything about my backup works BUT my camera. I also noticed I can’t use the flashlight option on my 4.1.1 ROM now. Anything related to the camera is broken.
I’ve tried killing and clearing the camera process per several articles I found on Google and here on XDA without luck. Everything suggested it was a hardware issue at that point and to warranty the phone. I deiced to try 4.3 one more time and sure enough, my camera works when flash back to Anroid 4.3 ROM.
I’m stumped.
Any thoughts sort of reinstalling 4.1.1 from scratch?

You have to have the bootloaders for 4.1.1 for the camera to work in 4.1.1. This happened to me a while back with 4.1.2. There's a thread here somewhere where you can download the correct bootloaders and flash with ODIN.
EDIT: Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321310
You need the DLK3 bootloaders (well, that is if you have the AT&T gs3) for the camera to work.

YOU ROCK! You have been thanked.
That completely fixed the issue. I didn't realize the bootloader changed.OK thanks again you saved me a lot of hassle and trouble shooting.
Hi,
I was previously using LiquidSmooth's ROM (Android 4.3). My camera was working fine until one day it started to bug out on me. I am able to use the front camera fine. However, I was unable to use the rear camera, getting a black screen and saying "Gallery has stopped responding". I googled some solutions and tried transferring all my pictures onto my laptop and deleted it off the memory. Unfortunately, it still did not work. I flashed Paranoid Android's 4.4.2 ROM (Dec 26) and GAPPS 4.4.2 (Dec 15) and now the error message I am getting is "Unfortunately, CAMERA has stopped responding" (bold for the difference between previous error). Help please? :fingers-crossed:
Sounds like there may be corrupt firmware was flashed for the camera at some point. I believe, flashing Stock firmware should clear it.
If you had already flashed Stock 4.3 Firmware (UVDUEJ ) then flash that again. If you had UVDMD5 before all this then re-flash that one.

Sorry for the late reply. I used ODIN and flashed the stock firmware. However, opening the camera now just says "Camera failed". Previously, I was able to use the front camera in apps like Snapchat but now the front camera does not work either. Both cameras just display a black screen.
Hi,
Yesterday I posted about why my Wifi and 3G didn't work after flashing CM11. With the help of of engine95 I got this to work (thanks!) but now I am running into another problem:
The GPS doesn't work. As far as I can tell the standard solution is to flash stock again and get a GPS fix, then go to back to CM. So I flashed ZVC_Stock_Root.zip again. This worked yesterday, but today it shows a message "cyanogenmod account has stopped" and reboots after a while. I have done a factory reset and wiped Dalvik cache but the message still appears.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
Delete system in recovery and re-flash ZVC stock zip to get rid of pop up message.

This ^^^^^^.
Also. when you flash to the stock ZVC, make sure everything is working and make a backup in TWRP/CWM. That way you can bounce back and forth when CM/AOSP Rom's have issue's that need to be fixed with stock. ie update profile prl, GPS.

Thanks a lot, everybody. Formatting system allowed me to boot up stock and get a GPS fix. I have backed up stock and can switch easily between CM and stock now.
It took a while but now I have a fully functioning Optimus G with CM11.
Hi,
last week i updated my cyanogenmmod to 20140526 and had some bigger Problems with the Dialer. I was not able to call someone. Every time the idcallerui crashed.
Because of this i tried some different roms like Paranodid or older cm roms. Now i dont have this Problem with the dialer but now my camera doesnt work any more. If i try to open the camera it stopps. Before i installed a new rom i always did a full wipe in the recovery mode.
I tried different gapps from paranoid, cm, mini or stock but nothng fixes my camera.
I dont want to send it back to samsung to get this fixed because i have to wait to long for my phone.
What did i do wrong? False Gapps for galaxy nexus?
What combination of rom and gapps can u recommend?
i now have flashed my device back to complete stock rom. But the problem still exists. when i try to open the camera app it stoppes.
i tried a app called facecam and there i get the error :"Failed to connect to camera service"
Should i send it to Samsung? I still have 3 Weeks Waranty
how can i see if it is definitly stock and samsung cant see that i had root and a diferent rom?

2 things!
1* You front facing camera needs to be replaced
2* Send it to Samsung like it is they do not care if the phone is locked, rooted, or a custom rom.
Trust me I've done it myself!
Hello,
I rooted my M919 and tried a few ROMs to hopefully find one that I liked, but it seems that they all have bugs that make the phone unusable for me. (Flashed a Google Edition rom, the proximity sensor didn't work anymore, so I couldn't end a call, ever).
Now I am trying to flash the stock firmware, and it seemed to have worked, except I get the com.android.phone has stopped, CONSTANTLY. I already have tried clearing data/cache several times, no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try using a different recovery. I've had that problem before, baseband and IMEI were shown as unknown and com.android.phone would force-close constantly. I don't know why the recovery would cause that, but switching recoveries worked for me.
I had this same issue yesterday, very strange that I would see this listed here about the same time. I haven't done anything different, that I haven't done before. Then I flashed the stock T-Mobile rom and it still kept doing it. Apn settings disappeared when this happened.
