Hi All:
I bought a P3400i about an year ago and the camera on the phone has not been working since the day I purchased it.
I tried tapping on the camera icon under Programs, Tried pressing the Camera button on the device, and even tried locating the Camera EXE file and tapped it. The camera app doesn't open at all. I tried a hard reset as well. It still is not working.
(But whenever I tap on the camera Icon under 'programs' it promptly appears on the 'recent programs' list under the 'start' menu)
Please help!
Is there a solution to my above problem? Its so frustrating to have this phone without a camera. Would be great if someone could help.

Try to load a custom ROM and see if its a driver related issue. Or try a stock ROM from the wiki. But PLEASE PLEASE Read the stickies about upgrading in ROM Dev section properly before taking a dip.

Before downloading the stock ROM, you will have to find out whether your gene is 'Old' or 'New'. To find that out there is a thread by ramersonw in the Gene\ROM Development section - have a look there.
But make sure that you do not patch your SPL (since You never said that you want to flash your device with a custom ROM ).
You can find your stock ROM in the Gene wiki. at

Thanks Addicted. A couple things though:
1.) The HTC Gene Wikiwiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Gene only has two stock ROMs. One for WM 5 and one for WM 6. I have a P3400i running WM 6.
So, When I click on the WM6 link there, it goes toforum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396744. Now this thread has another linky to a rapid share file called Old_gene_original_WM6.rar. Is this file only for the old gene? Where do I find the stock ROM if my phone is a new Gene?
Please advise.
2.) I couldn't find the thread for identifying new and old gene. Please help!
dude plz do hard reset ur gene......no need to do all the stuff......but if u wana do,then plz read all the threads of upgrading vry carefully.....
@above
I did try a hard reset. It still isn't working.
Actually, I am scared of this ROM flashing thingy
Is there any other way to set this thing right. May be a driver or something I can install for the camera to make it work? Any help would be really appreciated.
plz change ur rom.......i think it will help u out of this stufff......b4 changing rom plz read here each & every step carefully....all d best

Dear Friend
I think u didn't have your hands on a good 6.5 ROM
There are 6.5 ROMs with good battery backup in the OPAL forum
Jagan has created this magic for the first time but its a customized version, you may like it
But if u want a ROM like default HTC version you may try my ROM on this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655572
Its awesome on battery...just like original 6.5
Some users had a issue while installing this ROM because of different versions of ONBL on OPAL...
My ROM is based on OS 1.35.0.0 and ONBL 1.35.0000
If ur device holds same specs u may use this

HEy,well,the main problem with me is i m a bit stubborn on accepting the fact that the start menu in all the new roms is being put at the bottom and not on the top as the original 6.5's...currently,m trying out the Evo2 by Jagan..its awesum,but misses out on sum important facts and icons,such as on the start menu bar,there is no display of the lock icon when i try out other themes..agreed that hez currently made the best roms here,but it also misses out on the usb connections menu,from which i can have an access to change the actie sync and disk drive settings...i put a lock code to my device,hence,it doesnt appear(on my device,yes i m facing this)also,if suppose,it does come,and if i check the 'dont show this menu again',the =n i m in a complete mess....the rom is stable,but in the long run,the lock icon on the start menu disappears.well,whatever Jagan has made,its commendable,I dont even kno a single percent of what and ow,a stable batery backup rom has been made with utter precision,but,as a friend,i wont like this work to go hay wire...this is not criticizing,but a note to make things more perfect,so that no 1 has a chance to complain....
whatever it is,m keen on the next updated version of the Evolution series,this time with the start menu up....
thanks for making roms...u people make our life work...
love u guyz,thanks for advice...

Backup?
Hi Shreyas18,
before flashing the ROM did you take the backup of your current Stock rom and SPL? Did you use any backuptools? If yes, can u kindly share those?
Thanks in advance.

before flashing which rom???well,i donot take any back up for any rom...all i keep is the .nbh file.thats it...after that its a normal copy-paste work to be done...the .nbh is to be copied,and put into the installation package...to download the installation package,visit the evolution 2 update post posted by jagan 2..google is a great help...but if u dont find a stock rom,u may ask any of the senior members here..they'd be a gr8 help..if u planning to hav a back up of ur rom,please ask for the procedure..i am not aware of it...i advice do not back up ur current rom(6.1 or 6.5)just go on with your customisation...untill u r 100% sure that u hav the stoc rom put up on either xda or google...6.5 is way better than 6.1...camera functions are too good,and it is lot more stable...if at all u need to degrade ur rom frm 6.5 to 6.1,visit a htc service centre and ask the tecnitian to do the needful,swear they are a gr8 help,and it wont cost u nythn..
Link if u need to DEGRADE to WM6.1.

But im not too sure how >< Can someone tell me the steps,
Im using original rom and ive never modified anything thanks.
Hello Deepak, first thing I would say go to the Rom section and read this thread.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668926
And if you have specific questions on a Rom ask them in the appropriate thread or directly to the Chef..for sure he will react....

hi every one , i am trying so hard to fellow this awsome forum rules its not easy but i am doing my best
i installed
[28.June.2011][MAG/cLK] NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.8 [GRJ22/Android2.3.4][K: tytung_r10]
on sd , it works great but once i leav the phone for couple minutes and screen locks , it stuck on the black screen and never open again, i have htc hd2 tmobile
this happen with most of the rooms , except one rom , also is it possible to install call recorder ?? like that one on mui , i have so many questions , but lets do one at the time , plz help and thanks
also is it possible to boot straight from sd using mcldr instead of boot windows and run clear and hearts, plz provide the guide link if its possible
I recommend using NAND ROMs, they have more development and they're more stable.
