[help]g2 always reboot when i open camera

hi, I have just bought a htc g2 magic(TIM). I got a very terrible problem as the title says, it aways reboot itself when I try to use the camera.
I have tried several ROMs, but I still get this problem though other ones told me that it is ok for them.
Is it a hardware problem or software problem or other?
the following the detals of my phone(if any other information you need, please let me know):

really appreciate for any help

Maybe your cam is brokken so when you try to access it you get hit with a FC,

not sure. but not crash every time. if you try it after rebooting, it is ok for a short time.

Have you tried any sense or 2.0/2.1 roms?
They have cam drivers now so give those a go.

thank you for your info. but i am really a newbie here.
i don't understand the sense and rom, could you be so kind to provide me a link or sth.?

You don't say which ROM you are using. There are quite a few Magics that have the reboot problem with the Donut 1.6 ROM, mine included. T-Mobile was replacing them. See this link:

You can flash a 1.5 ROM like I did. The camera works fine but I gave up voice directions in Google Maps and Voice Google search.

thank you. I send my phone back to my provider and let them test it.
I think it will save me a lot of time.

The only resolution is a 1.5 ROM like the one I'm using.

TIM camera reboot
sorry that i pick up so old thread but.
Does anyone found a fix for this problem?
I also have a TIM HTC Magic black with red border and another black HTC magic with silver border.
On TIM's one there is a problem with random reboots when using camera on 2.1 eclair roms (i've tried a lot of roms - random reboot when using camera on all)
With silver magic there is no problem
It looks like the problem is only on TIM magic.. maybe different hardware.
Also, as described above on 1.5 rom (I've tried CursorSense 1.2.6.1 which is cupcake) there is no problem with camera.
is there solution for 2.1 based roms ?

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

Same with my Rogers Magic. Only 1.5 roms are okay.
The problem is that Rogers hasn't rolled out a 1.6 or greater ROM. Once they do I can complain, but before that they'll say that I hacked it and it's my fault.
There's a ticket for this issue with cyanogenmod, have a look here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=792

android rom???????????????

Hi can anyone please tell me what android rom should i use on my hd2 which has the least problems and and best performance

Mdeejay_eVo_Sense has been really good on mine!

Since most of them are now pretty stable and mostly working (no camera on Desire HD builds yet), you should just try them and make your mind up. The problems that people have are generally different from person to person, so no-one can tell you what will be the best one for you.
Read & try - it's easier than flashing, so just give it a go.

helpp............

I do not understand exactly what you are trying to say. Are you saying that when you flash the radios, they do not work. Or when you flash the NAND ROM via MAGLDR, it doesn't load. If it is a radio issue, you may need to Run As Administrator in order for the flash to work. If it is loading a ROM and you have MAGLDR working, then go to Option 8 and load the ROM zip file from there. I would suggest looking at the ROM thread you are trying to flash to obtain additional answers there. The OP for this thread just wanted to know if it is possible to flash different radios onto their HD2 phone.

Dutch Rom Desire Z

Hello all,
Can someone help me?
I have a custom ROM flashed in my HTC desire Z and now i;m wondering how i can go back to the original ROM.
My phone had a Dutch ROM and I am unable to find the Stock ROM.
For so far I can see there is nothing on the HTC site and also on this forum i couldn't find anything
Am I missing something or isn't there a Dutch Stock ROM for the HTC Desire Z (not Branded)??
If there are any questions plz ask them.
Greetz Robin

As far as i understand.
There is a european stock version. And that holds the dutch language. That is my understanding but i could be wrong
Via HTC Desire Z

thats correct, on my dutch DZ from Vodafone the standard WWE rom was installed.
now running Vision unity though..

Thanks for the reply.
Does someone have a link to that ROM?
Thanks Robin

Solved
Hi there,

Hi Robin,
I'm in the same situation: I have a dutch (unbranded) HTC Desire Z running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3. As HTC is currently pushing Gingerbread images I'm interested in going back to the stock firmware. Can you tell me which image you used?
My only worry is that I won't be able to reflash to Cyanogenmod, because I assume they didn't root this image yet?
Thanks for your reply,
Maarten

The best way to get your phone back to stock is to use the htc RUU.exe files.
You can find all of them here.
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
I hope this helps. As i had the same issue.
I had a partial brick, and with one of the World wide edition roms was able to recover my device back to stock.
Let me know if you need some help with a tut for this

Hye Maarten,
If you want to flash cyanogenmod, Use an ruu.exe file to flash you DZ back to an earlier rom. This works coming from any rom.
I would suggest usinghttp://shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Vision&file=RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.4_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.24_M_release_155297_signed.exe
this is a world wide edition that i use to flash back to stock froyo to be able to root my device. I hope this helps ;D

You should try powering off (battery pull) hold the volume down rocker and then the power button and scroll down to factory reset, let me know what happens

Umm... I can tell you what will happen, it will erase all userdata, and then possibly stick at the white htc screen. I wouldn't recomend doing this until you have a rom to flash

U sure?
Being Cool from my HTC G2 running CM7

I have used the following ROM to flash it back to stock if I remember correctly:
RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.2_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_160660_signed.exe
I have had alot of trouble to get the S=off back to S=on, eventually i succeded but to succed i had to flash my device mutiple times with different ROMs, therefor I cant be completely sure that i used this ROM.
Hopefully this information is useful.

Beta Test for BootManager(multi-boot app)

We've gotten alot of response from the Desire community so thank you all for your help. At this time we do not need any more testers for the desire. BootManager should be updated with support for the Htc Desire in the next few days. The app currently won't support rom's that use apps2sd and data2sd but our team is working on getting support for those as well. Thanks.
Hey guys my team has developed an app called bootmanager which went into the market today. The app let's you install rom's to your sdcard and boot between them. I had originally done an inc only version here that used your recovery for installing rom's. The new app installs the rom's directly through the app and then let's you boot between them. Anyway on to the point of this post...i'm looking for 1 or 2 beta testers to add support for the desire. You'll need a little knowledge of adb, root of course, and just a little bit of patience. So far has worked pretty well on every htc device wev'e tried so I'm confident we can add support for the desire as well. You can get a little more info about the app from the link in my sig or looking at it in the market. If your interested pm me so I can get the info needed for the desire(.i.e partition sizes and a few other things that i'll tell you how to find in adb) and I'll send the apk for you to try. Thanks for your help....

Very interesting app! Would hboot have to be compatible (ie right size) with all the installed roms or as they are installed to SD does it not matter?

by hboot your refferring to the bootloader? This doesn't change the bootloader. It makes img's on your sdcard which hold your system/data/cache files for the rom, then it edits the boot.img for that rom to point to those img's when booting. Then the app flashes the boot.img for the rom you want to boot too.

I would be very interested in trying this out as I pretty much change my ROM on a daily to weekly basis haha, I just can't stop! This would be a good way to nurture my need for all the ROMs I switch between all of the time.

Would this app work on a non rooted phone? I mean having the stock ROM in the phone and a rooted one on the SDcard. But I guess it wouln't...

No you need an unlocked bootloader to switch the boot.img. And root to do a number of other things involved in setting up the rom.

Once you go MIUI you don't go back I can't bring myself to use anything else LOL!

Oh I tried MIUI-XJ, it's nice to know that you're happy with it ^^ I used it for about three to four days and felt that I was using an iPhone more so than an Android and I prefer the feel/look of Android devices... I loved being able to theme it so easily, though. I like the transparency mods in NeoPhyte ROMs and bits and pieces of many others... I should just figure out how to make my own.
I hope that you got my response, Conap! My sent items folder said I hadn't sent anything but I am most positive that I did so I will wait to hear back from you =D.

Yeah, sure I could help with the testing... Do you want somebody with that knows ADB etc..?

got Miui XJ on phone rom and tried to boot CM7.
working without problems so far!

thank you. gonna look into this now

Should we run the update after the rom has been installed, so it updates the boot.img ? Haven't tried running the update.zip directly from bootmanager yet, but works fine from recovery.
Installed MIUI-108050 on my HTC Desire (stock boot/S-ON)

looks fantastic....im new to android and my desire but i am currently using neo's reflex s rom and i love it...i really want to try MIUI but i love reflex!
