UNSOLVABLE camera error on Lineage/CM - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm using a Z008, and everytime I take a picture with PixelMaster, it returns a green picture (only Auto mode and Manual mode, HDR works fine). I tried to make PixelMaster a system app, turn off Optimizations, still no help. It happens on EVERY custom rom, on both LPblobs and MMblobs builds. It used to work partially before, and now it doesn't work anymore. Have anyone experienced this?
Thanks in advance.

Camera crash when switching video back from slowmo

For me stock camera disconnects and can't connect again without reboot, when I got video to slow motion and than turning back. This only happend to me when using franco.Kernel. The dev is sure though, that the problem can't be in the kernel.
ATM on latest stock rom, latest vendor flashed.
I attached a logcat, so hopefully somebody can help me find the reason for my problem.View attachment camproblem.log
Found the problem. It was enabeled EIS on system level. Just toggeling in the camera was not enough to be rid of it. Had to be handled via build prop.

Rear camera not working

Hi, the rear camera and flash seem to not be working a few days after installing Viper on my M9. Camera worked for about 1-2 days after flashing latest Viper ROM, but then stopped altogether. Anything trying to utilize the flash also doesn't work (HTC and Google flashlight). I've tried wiping the camera's data & cache, and I flashed the upgraded camera software that is available on Venom Hub, still no luck. Launching the camera app shows a black screen for a few seconds, then crashes back to home screen with no error message. Front camera works fine. Service provider is Sprint. Recovery is TWRP. I know that I could likely get a functioning camera back by re-flashing the Viper ROM or another ROM, but that's time consuming, and I'd prefer to only do that as a last resort. Any help greatly appreciated!
There is no fast way. Reflash the rom over the top, it shouldn't erase anything as you are recovering, not upgrading. Otherwise you're looking at going back to stock to test.

this happened to me without any software change (that I know of) just a hardware change. I even bought and installed a new rear camera which now allows the use of the front camera but the rear is not detected in the app and the flashlight just loops forever with a "loading" message. I am also SPRINT

Back camera not working/Flashlight not activating on stock, custom ROM or safe mode

Hi all,
I've been having quite a few problems with my month-old HTC 10, specifically with the camera (and the WLAN coverage, but at least that's working somewhat!) I finally unpacked it last week and have spent the whole week since attempting to fix the "Camera has stopped/Unable to connect to camera" problem. The selfie camera, however, is perfect and can be used in other apps, but attempting to switch to the camera on the back results in a freeze/force close. Considering I decided on the HTC 10 because of the camera quality, I'm a bit disappointed so far. A google search reveal a number of people having the same problem, but no real solution. Here's what I've done so far:
- Set up phone, comes with Nougat 7.0. Camera works at first, though seems to have problems with the auto focus. Camera app then updates overnight and stops working. Clear data/cache, remove updates, hard reset - no good. Flashlight does not work either, simply says "loading..." and stays like this indefinitely until closed.
- Factory reset, no change. Switch to safe mode, no change. Decided to unlock bootloader and install custom ROM after hearing that would fix it (I know, I know...I should have just sent it back at this point). Install Viper 5.10 + root with magisk, camera and flashlight still not working. Safe mode, not working. Full wipe in TWRP, RUU back to stock firmware (CID: HTC_034, flashed 2.41.401.3 signed firmware). Set up phone again on stock firmware, still no change in camera or flashlight.
- Install LeeDroid 10 3.7.0 custom ROM, root with magisk. I get a breakthrough here; turning off "OK Google" in settings gets the camera and flashlight working again! Still have the "laser autofocus blocked" issue, but I figure I'll deal with that later. Backed up with TiBu.
- Next day, decide to use a ROM that includes the latest security patches (got a bit annoyed waiting for HTC to push out the European updates, still on 1st January patch) so went for Resurrection Remix. Wipe, clean install etc. Camera stops working again, no change in safe mode. Wipe, clean flash back to LeeDroid, camera is no longer working, in normal mode or safe mode.
- Went through a bunch of custom ROMs at this point; ICE, Dirty Unicorns, LineageOS, then decided to try RR, LeeDroid and Viper again - camera still not working in normal mode or safe mode. With the ROMs that required GApps, used every package in both Open GApps and Dynamic GApps to install. No change to camera, Google Camera was unable to start as well.
- Flashed upgraded RUU (2.41.401.4 signed firmware) and went through the process of wipe/clean install custom ROM/test camera with all the above custom ROMs in normal mode and safe mode. No change in camera, though the ROMs were all excellently made
At this point I'm pretty stumped If it was a hardware problem, why did it work when I first installed LeeDroid, but not after? It's not been mishandled, it's just been sitting on my desk since I got it. The fact that it doesn't work in safe mode would suggest to me that ,maybe, a camera driver has been deleted somewhere along the way? I also tried a load of other methods I found on various message boards; flash it with no SD card inserted, flash without SIM card installed, etc. but absolutely nothing works.
Third party camera apps also don't work; most simply crash on starting. Open Camera says "Unable to access camera. Maybe being used by another app?", so I tried removing the permissions of all apps that had access to the camera except the camera itself - no change. Deleted cache/data/preferences of all apps - no change.
Finally, I had a look at the HTC diagnostics test using *#*# 3424 #*#* on the dialler - the camera test doesn't even show up! :crying:
I've run out of things to try at this point, so I'm posting this here to see if anyone can possibly shed some light on this very strange situation. Is there something I can do to fix it? Or should I start begging Amazon to give me a refund? Unfortunately I'm a week outside their 30 day return window...lesson learned for next time; if in doubt, send it back!
Oops, meant to post this in the Q and A forum. Don't want to spam a duplicate, is it possible to move it over?
Hardware issue. Contact HTC for a replacement. sounds like it may just not be connected. I had one with no working vibration notification, the motor would turn on, you could hear it, but the phone wouldn't vibrate. Got it replaced ASAP! I recommend you do the same!

Same issue here. The only thing that works for me (so far) is flashing back to a Marshmallow rom. HTC has been completely silent on this issue in terms of actually fixing the problem. They know the problem is there for only a small number of us and so aren't going to do anything about it. Fine. This was my first and will be my LAST htc phone. Buh bye htc, you'll never get another dime from me.
Did you fix the issue, coz i have the same in my HTC 10
Hi
follow my post in anildsouza73 blog..I will show how to fix it if someone really spoiled it...have a good day..
from yesterday morning the problem appeared to me. Initially, the difficulty in focusing, then rebooting the impossibility of opening the camera app and the flashlight. I found on Youtube the videos that showed the same problem. Is there a solution today?
Hi all
I found if I cleared my flashlight cache and then the camera cache, soft reset phone I could get the camera working again. Only problem now is the autofocus is not working properly. Any ideas for that?
Same problem. Focus stopped working, then I cannot launch camera app. Anyone found a solution?

Camera issues- help needed

Hi all, I have tried hard to figure out my camera issues but I'm just going to have to reach out and ask for help. I have wiped/factory rest etc, I have completely reflashed the OEM image, I have flashed twrp and currently am running carbon rom and have root access to try to figure the issue out. When I launch the camera app it launches normally but there is no image just a black screen. If I flip the camera to front facing, same issue and same issue with video. It crashes shortly after launching. I have tried different camera apps and have not had any luck. Is there a permission I need to fix or a file that's corrupt and needs fixed/replaced? I can't seem to find anything about my specific problem. Seems most are third party app issues. Oh, speaking of which, the results are the same in safe mode. Sorry if this is not the right forum, hopefully I'm asking in the right place.
If the black screen occurs in both the stock ROM and custom ROM, then yours is a hardware issue. Otherwise, the custom ROM is the likely culprit.

Camera problems with Android 11 on Willow

So basically I am having problems with the camera on every Android 11 rom on Willow (Redmi Note 8T). Tried formatting everything, latest 12.0.2.0 firmware flashed, tried every rom here, same problems... I can take photos (always in a vertical orientation, it won't rotate the photo if I took it horizontally), but video recording won't work at all. When I press the record button it goes for a second and then the app freezes. When I go to video mode and then back to photo (switching between modes takes 5 secs), the camera app crashes with an error "can't connect to camera''. Same problems with any camera app, only with gcam instead of freezing on video it records a one-second file and then stops as if someone pressed the stop button.
I asked many guys here, seems like no one had problems like me, maybe this problem is related only to Willow because of no Android 11 firmware yet
Also, I find out just now that auto rotation won't work at all, not only in camera
Edit: Fixed by flashing persist.img from miui fastboot rom
