[Q] Camera Not Working after Flashing 4.4.2 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hey Guys, I'm using Clockwork Mod and flashed 4.4.2 in this thread posted by Zen Arcade:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2-att/development/rom-att-i317-ucucne5-mj4-stock-odex-t2802189
Everything seems to be working fine, except the camera won't work. Every time I launch the camera it says "Camera Failed to Start". I saw one other person had that issue, but didn't see a resolution to their issue and I can't reply to that thread (maybe cuz I don't have 10 posts yet?).
I tried a different camera app, no dice. I tried wiping and re-flashing, no good. I tried restoring the old version of my camera app and gallery apps from titanium backup, but that didn't work either.
For what it's worth I also tried flashing the latest version of DN3. but couldn't get wifi working on that one.
I feel like it's my Bootloader that's the issue, but I can't figure out how to upgrade it.
Anyone able to help?

What didn't work

Flashing I317_ODIN_UCUCNE5_BL_TZ.zip via Odin did not fix the camera. It still fails to load.

Also I've tried Buttnaked and other Touchwiz Roms and I have this camera issue with all of em.

Yeah, I gave up and use a camera from the market.

[Q] RhythmicRom v1.4 how to activate phone without Activate or My Account app?

So i made the mistake of doing the HTC ONE V OTA update back in march.
It was the "Software Update: 1.10.652.6 (73.1 MB)".
After doing so i tried to flash a custom rom.
The result was my phone being stuck in a boot loop.
I bought a cheap android phone and switched my number to that phone.
I saw that the RhythmicRom v1.4 worked with the OTA update and so i flashed my HTC ONE V to that rom and it stopped my phone from boot looping and so my phone works again.
My only problem is that for me to switch back to my HTC ONE V is to switch it back though the VIRGIN MOBILE website.
After i switch it tells me i need to use the "Activate" set up wizard.
RhythmicRom removed the "Activate" and "My Account" app.
I also cant use ##VIRGIN# with this rom
My question is, How do i reactivate my HTC ONE V without the "Activate" set up wizard?
I really want to use this rom.
Ive tried to look for ways to do it and tried them but none of them work.
Ive also tried some ## codes but some of them dont work or require some security code.
Is there anyway to reactivate my phone using that rom?
I hope you made backup of your stock. You wil lneed to restore it and flash the stock kernel in fastboot. You will then be able to activate it.
the only backup i have its the one before the update. ive tried to use it before but it just reverts me back to a bootloop. now that my phone had been updated it doesnt seem to work anymore.

ok so i tried it. the rom wouldn't work. it has done this with many roms ive tried. it seem the only ones that are working are RhythmicRom_v1.4 & jellybeer. maybe it has to do with the code?
but i tried the boot.img from your rom combined with my backup that i made before the update and it booted up finally without any reboot problems but the wifi had an error in it.
but i then went to reboot to double check to see if it was working it booted past the virgin mobile part (with the people dancing) got to the htc logo and it wouldn't go past that.
when i tried to use you're rom it would come up as "Failed" i dont think the code is compatible with my phone.
What version recovery are you using... I'll look into it
im using TWRP 2.5.0.0
Down grade to the one I have posted in the 3rd post in CDMA development thread
---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------
2.5.0.0 will always say failed because it's trying to format a partition or your sdcard that does not exist
i will try it out thanks!
Welcome
so i tried flashing twrp v2.2.0 and for some reason it wont mount my sd card so it cant read it at all.
Do you have ADB checked under settings?
---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------
P.S. whenever you are in fastboot mode send command
fastboot erase recovery (press enter)
You'll probably get an error but move on and send command
fastboot erase cache
Now send command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This should give you a clean install of your recovery
If the problem persists, I'll take down the link for the TWRP 2.2.0 in my thread
when i got my phone, i went and tinkered with everything and had a custom rom on there before i got a chance to activate it as well, i ended up RUU'ing back to stock to activate, then going to a normal rom, ever since then, i've never needed to go back... hope this helps!
How do I get into settings?
And to the other person, with the new ota update ruu won't work with my phone.

I'm pretty sure I have it set up properly. I haven't had a problem with it yet. I just didn't know there was a way to fully wipe the recovery. Thanks for that info. Next time I have internet I will try it out. For now I'm stuck using this rom. it works pretty good just a bit buggy.

Sorry for posting in this thread, but I don't believe I have enough posts to place in the development forum.

I may at some point try that, but with the exception of those two things, I'm not experiencing a ton with what I do. I have had a few DC but nothing too to major.
I must have a good download because I have not one issue with this rom everything is working. Double wipe then flash one by one while rebooting between every flash. After doing so I havent had any issues

Personnaly I prefer AirCommand over Quick Command, the only thing that bug me was that every time I do a double tap with the Spen it popup both Quick note and Action memo so maybe a good thing could be to erase the com.sec.android.app.SmartClip Service file so you'll have no more fc close with Quick Command and you can still only use AirCommand. And maybe no more problem with uploading video .

I don't really use the quick command, so not really a big deal. I don't seem to have the com.sec.android.app.SmartClip file on my device.
I'll try the double wipe and see what happens. Although everything else is working so good, I might just live without it for a while.
Thanks.

Wiped twice. Loaded the latest everything. Works amazing. I still cant upload video. I read somewhere that it could be the kernal. I have not flashed the MJ4 kernal as everything has worked fine without it. I guess I'll give it a try.
Have you tried the latest version of the rom, 9z? It works for me with pretty much all the features. I did a format before installing it.

No, I can't get it to download. I've tried multiple times today and get about 500mgs.
How big is the latest version of Sky note when installed on the phone? I tried it before and really didn't like the idea of having both note 2 and note 3 apps.
I dirty flashed it with everything working except video upload to ig. I'll wipe it a few times tonight and reinstall 9z.

Help on reset/recalibration my sensors?

Hi, my issues with my sensors are the following.
Accelerometer not moving, ( stuck )
Proximity sensor won't read
Gyroscope fails on the test done via *#0*#
Its like they all have wrong data, i tried mostly everything, stock restore doesn't help
Im willing to try anything, any help is very appreciated, i even tried taking out the sensors folder from another Note 3 N900T and it said i had no permission and gave error also,
Advice or help please, im desperate, been like this for a while.
If someone can push it out with ADB and make it flashable would be even better

You have a custom recovery? Have you tried a full wiping including internal sdcard? Just earlier today i flashed a mod to get optical reader working and the version i flashed ended up overwriting a few lib files.....next thing I know my sound isn't working....i was able to look through the zip and see which libs it wrote and took the original files out of the rom zip I'm currently running and got my sound back. My long point is that you may need to really wipe your phone down then odin stock rom.

[Q] T999 UVDMD5 - Can't connect to camera (rooted or unrooted)

Hi All,
I'm am absolutely stumped and have tried what feels like everything I can to resolve my issue to no avail. So, I'm hoping to find success from the wisdom of the seasoned XDA community.
I have an SGH-T999 with baseband UVDMD5. In early September, my camera stopped working. When I open the camera app, I'm greeted with the infamous "Can't connect to camera" message. The front camera works fine (via Skype), but the rear camera does not. I've tried all of the following but the camera still won't work:
1) Unrooted and re-flashed the stock root66;
2) Finding the correct "SLIM_ISP.bin" file, placing them in the /data folder, and set the permissions to 777;
3) Re-flashed the stock UVDMD5 bootloader, firmware, and modem;
4) Took the phone to a shop to have a new camera installed and they couldn't get the new hardware to work either (so, it's definitely software related);
5) Cleared the app cache and fixing permissions in recovery;
6) Restored a Nandroid from a previous state of the device when the camera was fully operational;​
I don't know what else to do. PLEASE help me folks. I really want my camera back. Thank you in advance for your time and insight.
I've attached a Catlog I recorded while attempting to open the camera, if that helps at all.
just a thought , but if you have a nandroid backup could you uninstall current camera and then grab camera from nandroid and install it ?
or if have titanium backup hit the install button on camera apk (even though its already there). these methods have worked for me with browser issues.
just an idea.
good luck.
err on the side of kindness
Have you considered replacing the camera hw? It's very easy to do and the part usually costs less than $10.

Hi Doc, I tried that. Sorry. Should have listed it. I took it to a shop to have a new camera installed and they couldn't get the new hardware to work either. So, it's definitely software related.
Thanks for the suggestion though. Please let me know if you have any other ideas.

mrrocketdog,
Would that work if the camera doesn't work even when the Nandroid is restored (despite that fact that the camera was functional when the Nandroid was created)? Thank you.
At this point I think that would be worth a shot. If it doesn't work though I'd have to say it sounds like it could be hardware related, even though you replaced the module. Might be a problem on the motherboard or something like that.
The only other thing I can think to try though is to flash a 4.1.1 rom. Then using the hidden code to write the camera firmware to the device. If the firmware got corrupted somehow, this could fix it. The problem though, is if you've updated to 4.3 firmware, it probably won't work. They patched against our ability to write the cameras firmware ourselves. If this was done in the controlling app, it may just work. However, if it was patched in the base firmware, there won't be any way I know of to do this.
I'll post the code in a min. Gotta hunt it down again...

Ok here are the codes:
*#34971539#
*#7412365#
Enter in the stock dialer.
I'm pretty sure the first one is the one you need, but both are camera codes which is why I gave both.
If it works, it will open a menu called Camera Firmware Std
You can check the firmware versions first if you like. If the phone fw is older than the cam fw, and you do this, it is possible you could loose some features. But if so, I imagine flashing the device firmware again will update back to where it should be.
To write the camera firmware, just choose Phone to Cam FW Write.
Good luck!

i think that would be the point. the camera was functioal when the nand was created.
dont know exact function , but what about going into recovery and fixing permissions.
and going into settings>apps>camera and clearing cache ? wouldnt take but a minute and it already doesnt work so....

Thank you for your response and the suggestions.
That point makes complete sense. However, what I'm saying is that I've restored s Nandroid from a state when the camera was functional. However, the camera still doesn't work despite restoring a Nandroid from a previously operational state. So, please correct me if I'm wrong, but, considering that, what good would extracting the apk from the Nandroid do if restoring the entire Nandroid doesn't make the camera work?
Regarding your second suggestion, I have tried clearing the app cache and fixing permissions, but it didn't work. I'll add this to my list of attempted fixes in my original post.
Thank you very much mrrocketdog. I sincerely appreciate your continued interest and support. I hope we can figure this out.
well dang it ! hopefully someone else will chime in with some ideas. sorry i didnt have anything new. will keep thinking.

Hi DocHoliday77,
Thank you very much for the reply and the suggestion. Your advice seems sound.
I'm not sure what you mean by "controlling app." I'm afraid my knowledge is too limited to tell you if I've flashed the 4.3 firmware.
Not sure if this helps, but I have intentionally not upgraded beyond the stock baseband UVDMD5 version. I understand the baseband versions following UVDMD5 are bad due to the addition of KNOX and the inability to flash back to previous baseband versions.
Currently, I have flashed Carbon rom, which states the Android version is 4.4.4. However, I don't know if the Android version number is reflective of the firmware.
Regarding flashing a 4.1.1 rom, is there a rom you suggest that would be better for this than others? Should I just grab an older version of Carbon or would it be best to use Odin to flash back to a stock root66 version of 4.1.1 ?
Btw, not sure if you saw, but I uploaded a Catlog I recorded while trying to launch the camera app. I don't know if that will reveal anything or not. I can't make two cents of Catlogs other than to identify that errors are occurring. I really hope this isn't a faulty motherboard.
Thank you again for your continued interest and support. I really appreciate your advice. It means a lot. I hope we are able to resolve this.
If you never updated beyond 4.1.2, you can fully downgrade to 4.1.1 and try that method I posted. The app is just the one that controls the cameras dialer code. You don't really need to worry about it. Don't remember which it is right now anyway...
If you like though, first just flash stock 4.1.2. The code might work there. I just can't remember if it was patched there or in 4.3. You'll know you need 4.1 1 if you open it and the firmware write choice is greyed out.
I suggest just flashing the root66 firmware rather than a rom. This way everything you need is included. If it does solve the problem you can flash back to whatever you like.

If you never updated beyond 4.1.2, you can fully downgrade to 4.1.1 and try that method I posted. The app is just the one that controls the cameras dialer code. You don't really need to worry about it. Don't remember which it is right now anyway...
If you like though, first just flash stock 4.1.2. The code might work there. I just can't remember if it was patched there or in 4.3. You'll know you need 4.1 1 if you open it and the firmware write choice is greyed out.
I suggest just flashing the root66 firmware rather than a rom. This way everything you need is included. If it does solve the problem you can flash back to whatever you like.

Ok Doc. I flashed root66 T999 UVDLJC (Official JB Firmware - Latest JB 4.1.1 Firmware). After rebooting the phone, I entered the first code you provided - *#34971539# - into the phone dialer. This pulls up an all black screen with a gray colored placeholder/header at the top that reads, "CameraFirmware Standard." Again, other than the gray header and title, the rest of the screen is all black with no text or anything, except for the notification bar at the very top. Then, after sitting on that screen for a few seconds, it closes and the message, "Unfortunately, Factory Test has stopped," displays in a pop-up message.
I can make my assumptions about what that means, but I'd prefer your opinion. What do you think?
Thank you again for your time, insight, and assistance. I respectfully look forward to your response.
p.s. Just to clarify my experience for potential future readers, the second code you provided - *#7412365# - didn't work. It displayed, "Unable to process request" in a pop-up message.
That tells me that the system is most likely having problems communicating with the camera.
I'd open it up and make sure it's properly connected. It's very easy to do. You can find disassembly videos on YouTube if you want to see what to look for first.
If the shop couldn't get a new one to work, I'm honestly not sure what else you can try. It does sound like a hardware issue though. My best guess is its got something to do with the motherboard.

I don't have any problems on the artmod Rom. I fixed the data by using the apn fix and sideloaded the Sprint data flashed and saved!! Perfectly working phone!! Better than stock!! The only thing that doesn't work is the data icon on the quick settings won't lite up blue. And I can't get to network settings. Do you have a fix for that? Please help. Also I might addI flashed this by using framaroot and freegee!! No computer!!???. You're Rom is so much better than anyone else's for optimus g!! And the g3 UI is by far the prettiest and most functional out of all phones!!

I still did it. It did not help! Network always disappears, then reappears on the short-lived. APN settings always flies. I save, get out of them. Then again, I go and see what my options are not present. Field clean.

Download "quick shortcut maker and search Network in the app. The second option under phone is Network settings. Choose that and select create shortcut. It will create a shortcut to network settings on your home page. I posted a picture of the app somewhere in the artmod thread as well as the GEE3 port thread.

Thanks will try now.

Thanks I found it cool. I need the link for the 5.3.1 ota fix. The link is broken. It keeps sending me to sound cloud.

Does the OTA not work? Go to the OTA app on your phone and find the update, it will let you download it and then you can flash it from recovery.

I've downloaded the latest version update a fresh wipe and install and now I'm getting a no service msg. It's said no SIM So now I have no service. Everything was fine before this. What do you recommend?
---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------
Downloaded the latest update and no service msg now and also won't read SIM. Had to flash previous version 5.2.1 which has no SIM problems but quite a few bugs. Is there a fix in the works? The first 5.3.1 version worked flawlessly.

What do you mean the first 5.3.1 version? Also, Take the build.prop from the 5.2.1 and replace it in the 5.3.1 The reason you get that is because there are mods in the build.prop to be able to use on the ls970, but when you flashed the "official" update it wrote over the build.prop mods we did.
KwakuIsrael
Can you send me a link with the 5.2.1 build props and a new 5.3.1 zip. I don't know how to flash seperately. Thanks for being so helpful. I haven't flashed a Rom since froyo gingerbread days on my old LG optimus v lol. And thanks Art for the best Rom running right now. Also the links are down. They are taking me to sound cloud. And the ota isn't moving either.

Thanks now let me get to it.

I don't have the rom but I might be able to make you a flashable zip for the build.prop. Not today though. Maybe tomorrow. But all you really have to do is make a backup (just copy it somewhere else or pull it from /system inside the zip of 5.2.1 or the one from this thread) and then replace the one in the new update with the backup, and set the permissions the same as they were, reboot, and bam.
Here, I attached a 5.3 update (don't have 5.3.1) with the same build.prop with an updated custom OTA. It says 5.3 and is 5.3.
Flash this over the artmod rom.

Did you attempt to relock the boot loader? Check out the softbrick thread, that should get you up and running. You'll need to flash a bin file using lgnpst and that's easy to install. Everything is in the soft brick thread.
Thanks the other way was far to complicated!! Plus I couldn't understand dudes accent!!? I'll have access to laptop in morning. I have the 5.3 to reflash but I'll have to flash 5.2 first because I bricked the phone before you sent me the link. Thanks so much my buddy!!

Ha ha. What's the other way? Did you fund a YouTube video?

The other way was the long way flashing back to stock. Sorry I been gone so long had a lot of personal issues!! Thanks for all your help and fast response!! One important question for you my friend!!? What do you type in the command prompt to get teeny bin started?? I can't get back into recovery mode unless I have the right command to type & it's not in any of the you tube videos!! I see the art mod Rom is all the way up to 5.4 now. I know my nephew is dying to get his phone back running again. I also had to factory reset my HTC one because I downloaded an incompatible app and couldn't use my internal storage or music pictures movies etc.. Sense toolbox on unrooted phone. Didn't work to well. So therefore I had to start from scratch again!! I also need the Sprint data apk. That's how I got the data working on the optimus g on art mod 5.2!! Works without messing with the apn settings!! So much easier!! It's hard to find everything all over again. Can you please bail me out once more!! I also want to try the art mod Rom for my HTC one m7 as soon as I can find a safe way to root it!! I meant the Sprint data zip not apk.

I see what you mean now, command should be "adb reboot recovery" But I think you need download mode, which is a combination of buttons, not a command. Try pressing volume up and down, holding power, then releasing when the phone flashes. Or hold volume up and power, then when the menu comes up I think you can select "download mode"
I understand the button push part. I was reffering to the part where it' says the phone should reboot at 67% or 83%. That's why I wanted to know what to type in. So do I type in "adb reboot recovery" then run and if that fails do the button press? I just wanted to get get the teeny bin moving. So far I have had it plugged in to download mode not knowing how to proceed from there.
