better option is to unroot your phone first and then go and consult your nearby samsung customer gallery

yeah the problem seems to be your hardware....remember to have your custom bin count to '0' before taking it to samsung..........

hey make sure that u r running on stock rom before unrooting the device and taking it to service center if its in warranty period..

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Any clue would be appreciated

Same here on the SM-N9005 LTE. I've wiped the whole phone, took out the ext sd card, went back to several different stock firmwares and still crashes. Pictures work fine, as soon as press the video recording button it freezes and a few seconds later it reboots the phone.
I'm afraid this will be a hardware issue....

I was able to solve it by going back to the stock kitkat (4.4.2) rom through ODIN. There my camera was recording video perfectly fine. I then updated to Lollipop again and the camera (video recording) was still working fine. Very strange as I wiped/reflashed several times before downgrading to kitkat and that never worked.
recording failed on any lolipop rom
i have a same problem here. I dont think it was a hardware issue as when i was in KK the video recording works perfectly, but when i flash ANYKIND of lolipop rom, the video recording failed. but if i was to used AOSP lolipop, the video recording works fine.
anyone can help? i've tried searching and all, but doesnt seem to find the solution.
feels like i'm stuck at KK and cant move on. feels like u have a hi tech computer but u only can use windows xp, sad...
much appreciated guys!

Really Nothing
Is there a reason why no one has posted a fix or a how to for this I have seen the Update bootloader and CP but in my attempts to do this Odin has failed I have done everything under the sun to try and fix this and nothing I have looked up and down on Google, Androidpit, and obviouslt here on XDA and I have found nothing does any one want to lend a hand here or does no one really know how to fix it????
There's a solution in this thread
Well downgrading then upgrading seems like a bit of a hail Mary pass worth trying will update as to whether or not it actually worked thk8gh it sounds more like a one in a million fix.
So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.
So I tried to flash the latest stock lolipop with Odin and marking checked (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update).
I suspect that the Phone EFS clear did the trick. It's function is related to the modem and radio of the phone. And clearly the modem has a problem here.
I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.
This problem happened after trying to flash lollipop using FlashFire app to reserve the root that I had in my previos Android KK 4.4.2.

[Q] [Help]....CAMERA problem, your opinion please

:crying:
Hi everyone, hope all doing well.
My Note 3 with Stock Samsung ROM KK 4.4.2 [N9005XXUGNG1]
Rooted, TWRP 2.8 recovery on it.
The Camera Only work if the mobile just restarted and it'll work nice up to 20~22 hours of device stand-by time after that if I need to use it it will not work at all unless I restart the mobile and once the mobile just freshly start it will work nice
I got message like: Camera Failed, Unfortunately Camera stopped, Can't Connect to the Camera.
I tried to Flash stock ROM kitkat 4.4.2 GNG1, UAE, and I made root and I observe the Camera it work up to 56 hours of device stand-by time but after that
the same happen and it never work or response unless I restart the mobile.
Now it is again up to 20~21 hours of stand-by or working mobile hours and it will not work unless restart the mobile.
I tried to install other Camera application like Camera KK, the same when the stock Camera Not work also the other application Not work.
Is this Hardware problem ( Camera it self need to replace ) ?????
Or is it Software issue ( ROM, Firmware, Kernel, .... ) ?????
Please any idea and your opinion to solve this problem.

Camera Not Recording (log inside)

Greetings,
The camera on my Note 3 is not working for video recording (taking pics works fine). I have switched a lot of roms and kernels on it, but I noticed the camera app would not record and, instead, show me a "Warning: Recording Error" followed by a force close and, usually, a reboot.
I decided to switch back to stock Lollipop to see if this would revert it, but it didn't work.
The phone specs and other info:
SM-9005
Currently on official Lollipop from Brazil (N9005VJUGBOD5_N9005ZTOGBOD4_ZTO from sammobile)
Stock kernel
These are the things I did to try and fix this, not in order:
1- Changed kernels
2- Changed roms (always wiping everything but internals on recovery before doing so)
3- Cleaned cache
4- Cleaned camera cache
5- Tried google camera app instead of the official camera app (it did not FC, but while it said it was recording, it would never save a video file of it)
6- Did a factory reset on the stock rom
7- Updated modem and bootloader with the files on the Aryamod thread
8- Tried removing the SD card completely
9- Tried reseating the SD card
10- Tried changing to internal card in the camera app
11- Changing recording resolution options
Last custom rom I had was the Omega Rom. First Lollipop rom I installed was the official (non leaked) Poland rom, and I did not use a pit file back then (as, according to the thread this was featured it, that file was meant only for users coming from the leaked lollipop rom).
This is the log from the camera bugging out in the Omega Rom:
http://pastebin.com/TkCA2KbT
I took a second one for precaution:
http://pastebin.com/1exMLTk3
This is not a hardware problem as it worked on KK. The problem persists on the official rom I just installed. Also, the SD card has a lot of space available, as does the internal memory.
Also, not sure if this is relevant, but most kernels give me a bootloop, exception being the Omega kernel and the Darkqueen. I also *may* have flashed by accident a rom based on Cyanogen at some point, but my memory is very fuzzy on this. I think that this wouldn't matter as I wipe everything before putting a new rom in, anyway (and if I did that, the new and now correct rom I put after that wouldn't leave any traces of this accident).
I have no idea what else to do to fix this.
I have exactly the same problem. I have a ZTO Note 3 with the same problem as well, sometimes the whole android crashes after I try to record it.
The whole problem began after I installed the Omega Rom, I used CM12.1 for quite some time and the camera record correctly. I am not sure if you managed to wipe the whole thing by using the TWRP, but once I did, I found out that it was a MTO problem, which I searched about and it was nothing major.
Did you manage to fix the problem?
Maybe install latest bootloader?
Try changing the camera app video resolution back to 1080P - there's been a number of people had problems with UHD mode.
It's quite possible that BL and Modem flash will not work unless you turn the phone off and then go into DL mode for an Odin flash - rebooting into DL mode doesn't let them flash. So maybe once you went to a ROM that had the UHD issue, you haven't fully come back to stock?

Sorry for the time taken, I flashed the Omega Rom once again using TWRP, and then I flashed the bootloader and modem recommended for such rom using Odin, but the problem still continues. And I have tried change resolutions, storage and everything possible, the problem still continues.
Funny thing is, I thought it was the back camera problem, it could take photos but it freezes during video recording. Once I tried the front camera, the same problem happens as well, it does take pictures, but it does not record.
I am getting a little desperate now, I have a feeling that the omega rom made such problem but as of yet it did not fix said problem! What should I do?

Video not recording
Do you have a link to the kernel and has anyone else tried this? I'm also having the same problem with the video recording not working and I'm not sure what to do about it.

I'm having exact same problem
I'm also having this exact same problem with my N9005 Note 3. Its running Lollipop but i don't really much about roms as i bought it used from some shop. Everything works fine both cameras take pictures but video recording doesn't work at all. Also i downloaded a screen roader app and its videos are also not recorded. When i finish recording them and go to gallery it says File Corrupted. Please anyone got fix of this problem yet?
So I solved it by:
Using Odin 3.11.1
I have already tried Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flashed the latest stock Lolipop or older lollipop with ODin and nothing solved the problem.
So I tried to flash the latest stock lolipop with Odin and marking checked (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update).
I suspect that the Phone EFS clear did the trick. It's function is related to the modem and radio of the phone. And clearly the modem has a problem here.
I hope this will help anybody out there having this issue.

Hi everybody,
@hayder78,
I tried to do the same to fix the issue: flash with the last firmware available for my region code (XEF - N9005XXUGBOK6) using Odin 3.11.1 and the same options (Auto Reboot , F. Reset Time , Phone EFS clear, Phone Bootloader update) but I still have the issue.
@Fenrir007
Did you manage to fix the issue using the same method?
I had the same issue with a 6.0.1 ROM (MagMa-NX UX8.5) on my Note 3 N9005. Any attempt to record video merely resulted in a "recording failed" message after about a second.
I thought I had installed a recent bootloader and modem using Odin 3.11.1, but although I did it twice I had used a "Reboot to Download" restart and for some reason that does not seem to have taken properly - although I have no idea why, all the display messages said it had worked.
So I have just done a full (remove battery and then three-finger power-up) boot into Download as advised in this thread, and then sent the same BL_N9005XXSGBQA1 and CP_N9005XXUGBOJ2 files to the phone via Odin, and now video recording works fine.
So when people say clean boot into Download, they do actually mean it. Thanks folks!
Oh, and I did NOT need to tick the "clear EFS" option, which seemed a rather risky thing to try so I was avoiding it as long as I could.

"Camera error please restart camera"

I am on stock rom and rooted using the Super SU method. The only things I've flashed are the wifi fix, and edited build.prop to unlock tethering. My camera app will not open, and I get this error every single time. Doesn't work in instagram, snapchat, nothing. Anyone know what may be causing this?
Anyone? I would really like to get my camera working again
had the same problem today. restarted the phone and it worked again

I've restarted several times even gone so far as to install a new OS. I'm thinking about undoing the changes just to fix this.
Try booting in Safe mode

Camera still doesn't work
your cam may be disconnected from the motherboard. try claiming warranty
Wiped and installed the AOKP ROM and that fixed it.. Could've been the ROM or could've been the wipe, although I wiped several times before and it didn't fix it.
did you get the error again?
I had the same problem and I installed AOKP rom which fixed it at the beginning but after less 1 day the error back again.
now I'm on stock rom .35 (rooted with Magisk) and no camera error so far after 4 days
As far as i know, it is due to custom kernel, you may have installed that.. try flashing stock rom without any custom kernel..

yes, I had custom kernel first time I got the error.
but then I got it also with custom rom.
now I'm on stock rom and stock kernel....but does it mean that I can never flash custom rom/kernel because of that error?

Custom roms do not have that error... and on stock rom you can use elementalX 2.0 , it is made for the .67.. so the camera issue is resolved.. i think this will help
I had this error on Stoneware .67 (stock based ROM) and resolved it by dirty flashing Stoneware and Magisk v.13 again.
and I had this error also on AOKP rom
I have been having this problem on the Stock ROM, non-rooted, for quite some time now. I have no idea what's causing this error. When I open it sometimes, it just throws an error. If I close it and open it again, it works as it should. It's very annoying.
I had the same thing, flashing roms didnt fix it so i flashed stock via RSD lite and everything was back to normal.
Same issue here, completely stock unrooted. This is not the first Android device I've had that's struggled to connect to the camera consistently... how hard can it be?
Can people getting this error try to disable the image stabilisation in video mode please? One of the errors I see when downloading a bug report refers to the stabilisation code and I've not had the "please restart camera" message since switching it off. Could be coincidence though as it's not like I get it every time the camera loads...
Hello ,
I tried rooting my Moto G5 using Moto G5 toolkit (flashing superSU). t
Then I flashed TWRP and Flashed the WLAN_CUSTOM
Now i get that generic warning screen of unlocked boot loader however My phone is not rooted. and I cant open camera at all , getting error as " Camera Busy - Camera unable to start. If this happens again, please power off your phone and restart."
Can someone help me fix this camera issue? or just help me to revert back as it was previously no root nothing, I guess this TOOLKIT has some bugs in it.
Any help will be appreciated as I am newbie with this android development.

Camera error! Hardware or Software problem?

Hey guys, need your help! I've flashed a lot of roms on different phones before, but this is the only time something didn't get fixed by returning to stock ROM flashed via ODIN.
So here's what happened. I was on this ROM for my W8 canadian Note 4: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/note4uxs7edge-t3416225
Everything worked smoothly and I installed the N7 camera zip file included. My camera worked perfectly but I decided to flash the N4 zip in the thread via TWRP.... Suddenly BOOM! "Server Error. Restart camera". Now no matter what I do, the rear camera won't connect, even after a full wipe and ODIN'd back to stock W8 ROM!
Is this just a coincidence that my camera hardware failed or do you guys think it's corrupted camera firmware?
