Ok, so I've had this phone for a couple of years and I kept running into the same problem: videos not working in Snapchat.
Yesterday I decided to get B709 to see if the problem still persists and it still does.
So now I want to try out another stock firmware to see if it solves the problem (and many other, battery drain etc) and I can't seem to install any UPDATE.APP, it always fails at the VERLIST. I've tried everything I found in these forums, extracting the .app and editing the verlist, but nothing. It doesn't work
Any help guys?

Hey,
I'm new to writing in the forum but have been viewing topics for quite some time.
In the past week I had my HTC One X crashing on me with 'com.google.process.gapps' / 'Android.process.acore' has stopped unexpectedly causign all the apps not to work.
I'm running Jelly beans (4.1.1) with Sense 4+.
I browsed the forums for a while and saw suggestions to cancel google internet sync and to clear to contacts cache.
I did both and after it did not help I tried factory reset and recovery boot.
Although things run a bit better i'm still encountering these errors every now and then (and I have to hard boot the device).
Any suggestions how to resolve this issue ? Could it be a hardware malfunction ?
Would love to hear any thoughts on the matter.
full wipe and reflash could solve the problem, or maybe you downloaded a corrupted zip but the ROM still managed to flash - happened to me before.
My phone is not rooted and does not use a custom ROM so I don't think a corrupted zip is the issue. Should I root it just for reflashing it ?
Greetings, I wonder if somebody can solve the following problem. I'm from Venezuela and I bought this model GT-I9192 in December 2013 when the update came out this year it was updated from 4.2.2 (JellyBean) to 4.4.2 (KitKat). I almost never use the camera of this phone and then I noticed that every time I opened the camera app I would get "Warning: Camera Failed". Thinking it was the update I proceeded to install the Cyanogenmod rom 11 for this model, but continued with the same problem. The flash works every time I turn the flashlight application. I took it to a technician telling me that the problem was not hardware but software. This is where my troubles began. I do not remember which firmware was installed. I tried to install several firmwares 4.2.2. but without success all with flashing failures. However, I could install version 4.4.2 of Trinidad and Tobago but with the same camera error. Hopefully someone can help me with this problem. I would like to know exactly what firmware should download to install? Thank you very much.

I registered here just to answer your question.
My Android expertise is very limited but I try to learn from past experience. If I understand correctly, your want:
1. the camera should work.
2. the phone should function properly.
If you do not remember your original firmware, do not worry as it does not matter. Once your upgraded to KK, Knox (google it) kicked in to prevent you from downgrading to JB. That's why all flashing efforts to downgrade failed. So, you can keep your phone with KK if the phone works except camera. In case you want to downgrade to JB, I am sure that able XDA members can help you with that. I am unaware if such methods exist.
Now, to see if the camera works there are several methods. I encountered the same problem with my wives i727 Skyrocket which has JB 4.1.2 installed. One day the camera suddenly failed with the error "Warning: Camera Failed". The flash-light worked flawlessly so I was a bit perplexed. I researched and found several remedies:
1. From application manager, clear cache/data of the camera app and restart phone - Tried this several times, did not work.
2. Perform factory reset- Thought I'd use it as a last resort as the phone had gigs of data in it.
3. Uninstall apps (last installed app uninstalled first and so on) - I uninstalled the last installed app and restarted the phone. Voila! The camera was back. I have no explanations why but it just worked.
Let us know how it goes, good luck!
On the i9195, it is possible and easy to downgrade to JB since there's a 4.2.2 firmware which is similar to the 4.4.2 firmwares, but I don't know about the i9192.
Be careful with this;
If you know what you are doing, get the CWM recovery, format system/data and flash a 4.4.2 firmware again. If that didn't fix it, I suspect that it's a hardware problem and it's having problems with the software, but there should be something wrong with the hardware, for sure.
Good Luck.

Tried that too and nothing. I also suspect that the problem is a hardware issue. Thank you for the reply.

The problem, in fact is a fault in the hardware problem. If it's still under warranty, request a new phone.
Hello guys,
I managed again to brick my phone.
I flashed Fulmics as I wanted to swap from those not fully stable nougat roms. Well, I have no idea what caused my problem - Fulmics run without prolbems for a 2 or 3 days including xposed etc.
Then today I changed my ChromePie options and that's when the reboots began. I don't know if this the real cause was though.
So I tried to flash another rom but always got random reboot even in recovery after few minutes/seconds. So I went all the way back to stock rom (4.4.2) with LG Flash tool - which worked after a few tries. Then I installed MM rom via .kdz file and flash tool 2014, which also worked after a few more tries. But then the reboots started again. Can't say if the 4.4.2 rom was without boots because I updated to 6.0 quite quickly.
The strange thing is that after some reboots phone won't boot again and I have to take and leave out the battery for some time to boot the phone again.
Any solutions for my problems?
Best regards
..bumped into the same 1/2 year ago. Didn't want to put to much effort so,..went to stock and back, worked for me.
Good luck.

Which stock and how did you go back?
As mentioned I already went back to stock but the issue kept occuring.
Hi, got the same problem with my G3
wi fi and bluetooth didn't work and phone loop rebooted
Here below the steps I followed to solve
1) First attempt (didn't solve): had cloudy rom, got back to stock official but still rebooting, tried fulmics and other rom but problem persisted.
2) second attempt (didn't solve): went back to stock and changed battery (found somewhere in internet), now I have a brand new battery but a phone still loop rebooting
3) third attempt (SOLVED): found that the wi-fi / bluetooth chip (one for both) copuld have unwelded and solved so (it appears I can't post outside link, delete spaces to have the correct link):
youtube .com / watch?v=1zWpzYh2DPI&t=15s"
youtube .com/ watch?v=6_0jzp65eLY&t=256s
Now i'm on fulmics and no more loop reboot
Hope you can solve
[sorry for my english]

used flashtool
have to say restoring and/or flashing isn't always that stable. I've experienced it sometimes needs a 2nd try.
Hopefully it isn't a hardware issue in your case.
So I tried all of oyur suggestions but nothing seems to work.
On the contrary I ended up in a status where I can't even flash a new firmware.
In LG Flash Tool 1.8.1 I get the error
"Donwload Fail!!!"
PID: NULL
IMEI: NULL

In LG Flash Tool 2014 (flashing MM with kdz file) phone shuts down in middle of process.
But I can still access Download Mode.
No more ideas?
I really think I finally broke my phone... But the fact that I can still access download mode keeps my hopes up.
So, after 2 months I just tried to reawaken my phone. Still the exact same problem. It just keeps shutting down aber some while, but just when I start flashing something. If it stays connected to computer whitout doing anything it can stay on for like ever.
Can anyone confirm that this could be a hardware defect?
Hello everyone.
A few days ago i was just normally using my Xperia Z5 Premium then all of a sudden my phone started lagging. No button was responding, screen became totally unresponsive as well. I had to hard shutdown the phone and restart it. It worked but then after about an hour it started to happen again. I just flashed the latest 32.4.a.1.54 firmware (clean install) and started all over again. It worked for a day or two and then back to the same ****ty lag. I am unable to figure out what exactly is the problem. At first i thought that maybe the ta_po+Magisk 14.5 is causing the problem. To clear the doubt i tried to use old drm fix from tobias's tool but it is also happening after it. I have flashed my phone over 10 times to solve the issue by trying to know if a magisk module is causing the problem or not but nothing. I cannot find any error in magisk log nor did this happen on installing any thing. It all started out of nowhere and now i'm pissed. Please someone help me troubleshoot this issue.
I am using stock rom stock kernel for modifications and not the available custom kernels or roms.
P.S: while doing all that drm + root thing i have always followed the exact instructions in doing so. My method worked well with the past firmwares. It also worked with this latest S.H.I.T but now it's bothering me. I have tried searching the web and tried using the available solutions (So called Movie Creator app problem and Blah Blah Blah) but S.H.I.T happended.....:crying::crying::crying:
Hi,
Since I got the latest Oxygen OS update (I'm on Oxygen OS 9.0.4) . My Phone App has started crashing if I make a outgoing call or get one. First the Phone App crashes and then the system UI Crashes. The Phone was working fine till this update.
Thinking this is an issue with the Oneplus Oxygen OS update, i tried to move to Pixel Experience OS. The version I installed worked well but again when i did a OTA upgrade the same issues started recurring. There I also faced crashes if I used the camera app.
Frustrated I moved back to the Stock Rom.. But the Problem of the Calling app still exists. I"ve tried installing alternate diallers but its the same effect. I'm attaching my log file here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nLldKekVd_ZLWRghbPeJP94cdimQpsf6/view?usp=sharing
Can you guys help figure out whats happening ?

try clean flash any beta version of oos , or use unbrick tool to restore all firmware to factory setting.
Hi
Would this be the unbrick tool ? https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....5t-unbricking-tool-confirmation-t3733012/amp/
Seems like a very old version ?
Hello
I tried doing the clean flash to the latest Beta.. But still getting the crashes. Will try un bricking now.. However is there a chance its related to the hardware ?

no, perhaps its related to software. are u using any mod or theming?
Hi,
Currently none. The phone was on Stock Oxygen till 3 odd months ago and was working fine. After one of the OTA Updates, this problem started happening. Since I could not find any consistent users reporting the same issue on Oxygen, I decided at that point to try using a different ROM and switched to Pixel experience. The phone worked ok for 2 weeks or so post that. Again after a new OTA came and I upgraded it started crashing again.
In the team time i saw another update to Oxygen had come so it thought i'd try going back to stock.. But not avail. Its still crashing.. Its only the Phone App that acts up. Everything else works fine. However the first time this issue came video playback was also freezing.
The logs that i have posted show these crashes but I dont have enough knowledge as yet to understand the reason.
After the above response to try clean flashing the latest Beta. But the issue persists..
Try see if the phone app is set as standard app for handling phone calls.
Hi
Tried that ..it is set as default.. The latest trial I did is cleanflashed an older version official ROM v5x of Oxygen OS... Problem is still the same..
Infact worse.. now I've got the settings app crashing and random reboots in addition to the phone app crashing !
I'd thought if this issue is due to post 9.02 upgrades this would solve it . But it's made it worse..
