So picked up a G2 from a guy on craigslist. Everything works fine except the camera app crashes everytime and I have to force close it. The dedicated camera button does nothing at all. Have tried doing a factory reset and no luck.
Any ideas for options? I am pretty sure the warranty is not in play as I am the second(third /fourth) owner.
thanks in advance
Could you post your phones software info?

Are you willing to root the phone and try custom rom?
Otherwise you can try to search for another camera in market, to see if it works.
I'm guessing this a sense Rom you're using and since its android version 2.2, the camera will not work. This is because sense is closed source and it would mean virtually rewriting much of sense in order to get it to work. Since you're running 2.2 you must also be rooted so why not try out a custom 2.1 sense rom, they have a working camera. I suggest villain rom 13.

Ah, I see, he has 2.2, while 2.1 is the last official version from HTC. In that case I can reccomend latest FroydVillain release.
I am using CM7 nightlies, but they are not as stable and have some annoying problems.

Thanks for the response guys. Are you sure 2.1 is the last official release? I have the TMobile G2 which I though received an OTA update back in October for Froyo (2.2) . Isn't this the official version?

You can warranty the phone if the manufacturer date is under a year old. I did!
Ok, maybe I suck at searching, and if I missed it, I apologize, but...
Has anyone made a rooted version of the OFFICIAL (not leaked version) stock Gingerbread rom yet? I'm basically looking for the complete OTA update with no changes except root.
And please don't make fun... I actually LIKE some of the T-Mobile bloat, but much of it does me no good as I'm using the handset with Wind Mobile. I want to stay stock, but keep root so I can freeze/delete the bloat I don't need or want.
I suspect it's a little early in the OTA to be looking for this, but I thought it was worth a shot anyway.
Thanks

No problem. Although you should try VU if you haven't. Much more appealing than TMO's mySense.
EDIT: Wait, I notice that you're in Canada. So I'm assuming you have the HTC Panache? If so then I'm not sure if this would be compatible. Again I'm just assuming, just make sure.
Unlocked MyTouch 4G actually.
Main reason I'm sticking with stock is that I actually like the genius button feature and swype keyboard.

Yeah, I thought it was the OFFICIAL version myself. Now I have a few issues after flashing the ROM, and being a new member, I can't even let anyone know about it as I can't post in that thread....
1) Lost my Mail app. No big deal - I just installed Maildroid.
2) GPS isn't working. It's turned on, but I'm not getting a lock at all in either the coverage mapper app or Google maps. This IS a big deal.
If anyone has a solution to problem #2, please let me know.

Well, the radio is definitely wrong comparing to the official version, and it looks like flashing the newest radio should fix the issue according to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1185039.html
So assuming that the newest radio is 12.55.60.25P_26.09.04.26_M, if I can find it then it should play nice with the rest of the updated ROM?
Alternatively, can I just download the Panache radio version or the Froyo radio I had before and flash one of them?
Sorry for the noob questions here, but I'm just getting into this and I'm trying to be careful. Files and directions I'm finding with no problems, but compatibility specifics are still a little beyond my reach.
You have stock radio. if you wanted updated radio for that you should have renamed the zip as pd15img and flash in hboot... I think... Please read the whole thread before doing so. anyways try flashing KC's version of the leaked tmo. btw radios are the top sticky in the android dev section.

LOL! ”I think” does not inspire confidence....
This whole thing is frustrating, and it's largely my own fault for just taking someone's word for it instead of checking myself.
Either way, what's done is done, and I'll just try to switch the radio and run as is until someone makes an untouched but rooted official stock version.
When and if that happens, I'll start fresh.
I'm not feeling up to setting up my phone from scratch yet again at the moment.

lol sorry i remember going through the thread over a month ago or so, and I was on my phone and too lazy to search it myself. I am still lazy to search it, but from my experience, KC's version is more "user-friendly" it's stock too, so give that a go.
I have a plan, but I understand that flashing a radio is somewhat of a risky procedure, so I'm looking for verification on a few things before I start.
As I said above, once someone comes out with a rooted but otherwise untouched OFFICIAL (final) Gingerbread stock ROM with radio, I'll just replace the whole mess, but until then....
So, I'm permarooted using visionary. S off checked in hboot. I do NOT have radio s off though, from what I've read - don't know if that really makes a difference.

That's exactly how I did it; GPS is working fine now. Radio flash was very easy. S=off (without true radio s=off) is all you need. If you can figure out how to get radio s=off using this rom, lmk...

There is no "perfect" radio solution for everyone. Each person has a different experience with each radio.
If I had to make a recommendation to a T-Mo US user with a G2, it would be the stock OTA radio. That would be Vision_Radio_12.52. 60.25_26.08.04.30.

The radio I posted is the most up to date radio for T-mobile USA. The one that came with the 2.3 OTA. So yes, you will probably see better results with the updated radio.
Since we on GB radios shouldnt it be a ICS radio
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
Since the MT4G isn't getting official ICS, there won't be an ICS radio. Radios really aren't something that can be ported between devices. We know the MT4G is soon getting a small update of some kind, so it's possible a new GB radio will be part of that package.

The baseband builds in newer phones have nothing to do with OS in any case. There's no "Gingerbread radio" or "ICS radio". The newer baseband build in the OS package is just that - a newer build, not even necessarily a better one. Just an opportunity for manufacturer to update everything on the phone.
The last HTC phone that had the baseband tied to the build (requiring baseband update to use camera) was Nexus One, AFAIK.

The latest radio came from the latest MT4G OTA update from a few months ago. I know this because my friend has a stock MT4G that received that OTA and we both have the same baseband/radio version (I'm running the newest from the radio thread). Not sure what you mean about the latest radio coming from the DHD.

Unless HTC decides they are going to build an ics rom for the mytouch (which thus far they have not included the glacier in their update lists) there will not be an "ics" radio. I would bet football works for HTC, he always finds their "leaks" whether or not they are even released.

MT4G was updated and received the same radio as DHD, which was also updated. It doesn't matter which one you'll take the baseband build from - most likely they share the baseband build anyway.
DHD will receive official ICS, which might come with even more updated baseband. Needed or not - pretty sure that it won't be necessary for full ICS functionality, but not 100% sure.
I would like to add something. I come from the inspire/dhd side of things. As mentioned by Jack your latest ota radio matches with our 3.6.405 build radio. I downloaded the radios and compared the md5 sums and they were different. So they are the same base just with alteration for our specific devices
Possibly bootloader signatures? Need to run a byte-comparison to see. If the change is only in the header (first 1-2kB) - then it's most likely the signature.

They might have the same version # but they are NOT interchangeable. If you don't believe flash one through hboot a see what happens
The baseband will be the same since its the same hardware however, the information embedded in the file will be different because of different carriers.
HKM: Do NOT flash any radio.img of another device on MT4Glacier. You will get hard-brick with remotely little to no chance of recovery even with jTAGing since you don't have lld image.

From the development point of view, having 2 builds that differentiate in anything, but share the same version number, is extremely unlikely.
I've byte-compared the radios. There's 1 byte difference in the header, which most likely means nothing since it's in the signature area, and a small (~several tenths of bytes) block of difference at the end, where it again, might nothing (past the actual code block). Which means, in simple words, that these radios have a very high likelihood of being completely identical. Not 100% certainty - since they're obviously not completely identical - but the differences might not be of any significance.
[edit] It also makes good sense for them to be identical. Both phones use the same Qualcomm SoC with integrated multi-band baseband, and the difference between basebands might lie in HW only - like it is between 2 different Nexus One versions. I'm tempted to flash DHD radio just for kicks. Maybe I will one day.

2. If not then would i have to upgrade to the rooted 2.3.4 and then be able to change the radio?
3. Also does a nand backup made on one radio and firmware work on a different radio and firmware or would it just revert back
I've never heard of radios being incompatible with ROMs on this device.
The radio is not backed up or restored by a nandroid.

1. Gingerbread radios are for Gingerbread, and Froyo radios are for Froyo
2. Yes, upgrade to 2.3.4 then change the radio ONLY IF YOU NEED TO
3. Nandroid doesn't make a backup since wiping everything does not change the radio.

Yes. You will be stock GB, except rooted.
You may be right, as I know other devices have this issue. The thunderbolt, for instance has at least one thread dedicated to the topic. However, I don't recall anyone EVER reporting a brick related to radio version on the Glacier.
Can anyone report that they have?
