broken camera kjam

I believe my camera is broken - black screen. I'm not sure but I think it's happened after I upgraded to wm6.
Does anyone had the same problem and was able to fix it or the hardware is ****ed up and there's nothing to do?
Thanks

no....
honestly I don't believe that an upgrade to wm6 can "break" your camera...
... and then there is a simple test that you can try: come back to the original shipped i-mate rom (ftp://ftp.clubimate.com) and you see what happens.
but.... why don't you give us some more infos?
like: is a G3/G4 locked or unloked, IPL/SPL version...
hi
tommy

well, I did that. I restore the original rom and the camera still didn't work.
My phone is G3 locked and I installed on top wm6 from faria (a nice one!).
Of course it could just be that my camera gave up. Since I was not using it regularly and at some point after the upgrade to wm6 I saw the problem it was one of the link.
Can the hardware of the camera be affected by the overclocking?

hey~
i think i may have a similar problem (but the explination doesn't go in to deep detail)
when i try to snap a picture, about half the time it will snap....half the time it just goes black (the screen) and no matter what....it WILL NOT SAVE the photo.
i've tried changing where it saves the photos (main memory or sd card) as well as changed all the settings one by one (megapixels, fine:super fine, snapping type [full press etc] etc. etc. etc. i also tried changing settings via the advance config tool often mention onthe forums)
i haven't updated the rom (stock at&t rom is installed....i'm savy but not savy enuf to change the rom lol) nor have i updated windows (it always gives me an error...says it cant connect to the server or something, oh well i don't much care for micro$ucks anyways lol)
it's running windows 6.1 professional...i have plenty of memory free and hadn't installed anything new or tweaked any settings the day it stoped working....
any ideas?

ps.
oh yeah, oddly...the video record function still works....

Camera might be out of the connecting socket - open your device and make sure it's connected. Failing that - the replacement cameras can be purchased fairly cheaply.

thanks i'll give that a try and let ya know if it works!
i appreciate the very fast reply it's nice to know im not the only insomniac out there lol

Moved since problem is not ROM related.

Haha, I am 18 hours or so ahead of you.

thank you and sorry i placed my question in the wrong area....where has it been moved to though? :s (while ive been a member her for a while, i am still new to posting...ill admit i usually read...but i hope to change that )
~j

No worries. Let us know when you get it fixed and how.

hey all~
enigma....now i see it's enigmaNZ so new zeeland i assume is where you are....so maybe im a lone insomniac lol
jwzg....thanks again
all....as to the suggestion of opening the phone case....well with my nerve disease i'm going to have to have a friend do that since my hands are often no where near steady...ill let ya all know if that works.
mean time i may also look for maybe some other camera software....like i said, it will snap the photo but it refuses to SAVE the photo....so maybe the software is corrupt who knows....ill try it all
~j

hey all~
so i dove into my system registry tonite....i tweaked some things, changed the localtion of where stuff gets saved, changed some 1's to 0's an vice versa an it now seems to work....hope it remains working!
~j

Must have been a bad camera package.

jwzg~
yeah who knows, i'm just happy it's working again
~j

damages or...?

Hy everyone i`m new on this part of XDA forum,I just bought my self a HTC Tytn and i have some prb with it.Sometimes the display suddenly turns white but i don`t know why even when i press long power button,in the menu i have the camera shortcut but when i try to access her it just won`t open the camera,the signal allways changes rare when it stays full signal.I have the official wm6 ROM eng what can i do?

You appear to be suffering the dreaded whitescreen... There are a heap of different things that seem to cause this and it can be a royal pain to fix as there may be multiple causes (do a search for whitescreen hermes). If you bought 2nd hand then thats why...
As for the camera, a Hard reset or different rom may fix this as long as the camera hasn't been jarred loose off the mainboard contact. You'd need to open to fix that.
Cheers...

When i bought it it had wm 6 black 2.0 and still didn`t work after that i put the official wm6 ROM but still don`t work i openit and the camera it is still on the main board i don`t know what to do with it none of the 2 cameras works

Did you check the camera was plugged in correctly. It is quite easy to remove and can look attached when in fact it isn't. Refer to the HTC service manual to pull it apart properly.
Cheers...

i took it off and then put it at her place again but still doesn`t work the OS sees her but i can`t access her

i just flash the latest spl 2.03 but when i enter the bootloader it shows me..
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-1.40.Oli pro
does it show correctly?
...sorry for my bad english...:">

Its ok you have HardSPL
With this you can Upgrade whatever you find in your way jajajaja
Try to search there is outside a Thread related to this trouble White screen.

But make sure you Hard SPL your Hermes again to 2.10 olipro. Hard SPL V7...

i did it thanx for the support guys so now i got...
IPL-1.04
SPL-2.60.Olipro is this a good spl?

Even that!!!
How can you change to 2.XX.Olipro?
If you were 1.40.Olipro!!!!!!! i want to do this too!!!!!!
BTW does it have a high difference? and the IPL what? does I need to upgrade it too?

i just run the RUU the ipl i whant to upgrade but i ain`t sure that this can be posible..differences betwen the other one oli pro`s SPL i can see any untill now but i`m sure it has to be some i saw that the differences betwen the version`s are poasted on the spl thread so...i don`t think that the differences can be seen

Elf won't start

hi all,
I've a problem with my htc touch, it doesn't won't to start !
everytime i turn it on it turns off right before the HTC welcome screen comes !
any idea what is that ? or how can i flash another rom ?
*it's fully charged
*my rom is Touch_of HD lite 3.0
Thanks

Hi,
Did you flash a new rom or something recently? How old is your battery? If possible....try changing the battery and giving it another shot.

it's a new battery about 2 months or something

Thanks for your quick response

Hmmm...there you go. That seems to be the problem. Perhaps you'd want to go back to the thread from where you downloaded the rom and check to see if anyone else has had similar problems on their device. Or maybe try to get in touch with the person that cooked it. You can PM them or something. I'm sorry but beyond this....I cant tell you what to do....I've never flashed a rom on my device. Still learning Perhaps someone else on this forum can guide you.
Good Luck

Thank you but i don't think the rom is the problem,
I entered the boot loader and tried flashing 2 different roms and the same thing happens right before the HTC welcome screen "the animated picture where HTC logo appears" the device turns of !
so what is that !!!!
any help please

mine like the fridge!
For troubleshooting, try to cool it in the fridge for some minutes before you turn it on. If this helps, then I have no idea what causes the fault! But you are one step closer by knowing if its a hw or sw issue

If this helps, then I have no idea what causes the fault!

lool
I tried what you said but didn't work too !
I think it might be the RAM or something .. what do you think ?

could be
I've red somewhere that its a RISC controller in the Elf. If so; it contains a RAM itself. So even tough I'm not a specialist on this things I belive that it could be a internal fault in the RISC or the multiplexer to the external RAM or the RAM itself. These things are all a motherboard issue that needs a replacement - in other words a new phone!
If its a SW problem it should work fine with the orignial ROM. On this field I shall keep my mouth shutt 'cus I know nothing about phone/smartphones!! I do think you should make it to the bootleg whit any ROM.. I belive!

have you tried to hard reset
1) Simultaneous press and hold "Power" and "Camera" key.
2) Press "Reset" once with the stylus and then release all keys.

Yes I've tried hard reseting !

That's a relief

Have you tried flashing one of the original roms onto your device? If not....give that shot. You'll find a list of all original shipped roms on the wiki.

I'm not sure
If the mailfunction started after you ROM-flashing "upgrade", then its more likely that its the software. But I know nothing about software on this things or what the symptom may be if theres a missmatch on the phone configuration/model and ROM.

guys I've tried everything even original roms
I think i've to change the board !
Thank you all
