M8 Rear camera black screen
My M8 has the same problem. When you launch the stock Camera app it crashes on opening.
I reset Camera app data, cleared cache. The camera app will open, but only to the front facing selfie camera. The rear camera can sometimes be accessed, but the rear camera will just show a black screen.
I installed and launched the Google Camera app. The Google Camera opens to the front facing selfie camera. When you select the rear camera the image is upside down and the axiis are reversed, when you pan the camera left the upside down screen pans right.
Factory reset did not correct the problem.

I shattered the lens cover for the rear camera on my phone. Yes, the one time I had the case off and I have no idea how. Anyway point is I ordered a replacement, put it in, everything is lovely, turn it on and camera is just a black screen.. All the camera controls and stuff are there, but everything is black. When I start the camera, I get a toast message that the firmware is updating but nothing ever happens. I have cleared dalvik, cleared cache and data for the camera app. Any ideas guys?
Here is where I ordered the part http://www.fixez.com/products/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s4/samsung-galaxy-s4-rear-camera-replacement
Cool I'll try that

Hi,
My treat camera used to work fine, but one day started the autofocus started to fail, and pictures taken are blurry.
I've checked using other camera applications (which don't use the laser focus) but all are having the same issue.
I've ordered a new camera and changed, just to find the same issue.
I've noted that when using the magic mode, the pictures taken can be manually focused and they are good as they used to be.
I've also run the camera test on the hidden menu, and it shows AF failed.
Any idea? Is it possible to calibrate the focus of the camera?
Thanks in advance.

SOLVED
I had to buy another camera, and now it is working.
It cost me about 10 US$ on ebay.

All,
I noticed yesterday when attempting to use the front facing camera that I get only a black screen, the camera app switches back to rear camera for a moment, then the app closes.
I am not sure when this became an issue as I'm not a selfie kind of guy. The rear camera continues to function just fine.
I have tried the following fixes
wipe data in the camera app
wipe user data
uninstall / reinstall camera update
boot into safe mode
uninstall / reinstall app that utilize the camera
None of the "fixes" have resolved the problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion where to head next?
Phone is S-Off, unlocked, rooted, and running the latest stock ROM.
Should I just say f-it and try a different ROM?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Update: I flashed LeeDroid ROM this morning and the front facing camera is still not working. Looks like it could be a hardware issue...

yah, that's what it looks like. hope you have warranty.
I have the same issue. Previously when I pressed the swirly-arrows button it tried to switch then locked up and wouldn't do anything until I restarted. Now when I press the button it just spins around and nothing happens. I used catlog reader to find some errors being logged. I posted a thread about it if you're interested.

Hello guys!
I've got a (big) problem with my G3. Rear camera is not detected anymore. Only front camera is working (image is upside-down)
I've tried to reflash the stock firmware, it opened the rear camera but the app crashed, so it didn't worked.
Do you know what can I do to get the rear camera back to life?
Thanks!
Open your phone and check the connection at the motherboard where the camera is.

I will try this as soon as I get the necessary tools.
If I reflash stock rom I can open rear camera for about 1-2 seconds, I can see the image, but it will crash and will end having only portrait mode and no flash.

PM me to help you tear down your phone and not make any mistakes.
Problem solved.
I don't know how, got fixed by itself.
I have to replace battery now because my phone won't start-up without charging (bootloop - 100% not a soft problem).
Thanks!
When I open the camera app, the screen is shaking hence can't take photos. Only happens on the rear camera photo and video. When taking selfies everything is ok. I already tried factory reset and it's still the same.
Can't attach the short video here, maybe someone can help me so I can show you guys.
Thanks for any info.

If this issue persists after FDR it is likely a hardware issue. Is your bootloader unlocked? As a last chance to rule out software you may want to try installing a full factory image from fastboot. Otherwise do you have any warranty options?
Maybe a video stabilization issue. Turn off the software option and see if it does anything. Either way, I would get a replacement.

Something weird, I tapped the camera lens at the back a bit hard multiple times and it fixed the issue. Problem is, after a few hours it shakes again and I have to tap the lens again for it to go away.

Sounds like a hardware issue to me. Time to explore any warranty options you may have.
