Camera failed error

I just got my S4 from koodo and i can't get the camera to work keep getting camera failed error and black screen, I've have tried everything cleared the cache and factory rest the phone. The thing that really sucks is a just got a sim unlock code, i guess i should of tried the camera as soon as i got it. Is there anything i could do that could help that i have not tried ?

Have you tried re-installing the factory stock firmware via ODIN or Kies? You can find more info on it in the Development section. If that doesn't work I think you may have some hardware / warranty related issues. Good luck.
You can also try to download a camera app from the Play store and see if the camera functions OK with a different App.

Tried some apps but they lockup as well, I am going to try and re install the firmware.

Can't open apps I've downloaded. "unfortunately XXX has stopped"

I recently did the root from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291827
and the hot spot mod from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256950
I've reverted the hotspot mod and still the same result.
All my old apps work fine, nothing new that I download can be opened.

try clearing the data/cache on the apps then force close them and try to relaunch.....i had that issue with slim for a bit but it seems that whatever changes in build 6 were implimented fixed the issues.

stock rom.
Just tried a factory reset and now everything is crashing before I can even get into the setup process.
all services/apps that try to load crash.

I'm also unable to wipe cache from stock recovery, it says error.
is there a way to do it from odin? I'm waiting on stock firmware download, hoping that will make my phone useable again.

would installing TWRP and flashing an aftermarket rom potentially fix it? stock firmware is taking forever to download.

Stock firmware fixed the issue, scared to reroot the phone now tho....

if your having issues booting after a wipe try moving to to differant rom. if you like the TW UI there are still plenty of options for you in the way of custom roms. also if your going to be formatting your phone (i.e. wiping cache and dalvik and system components) i would recommend you load a custom recovery. you dont have to have one but it is advised.

Phone not operating, need urgent help!

When my phone (i9505) is on, all I get is :
"Unfortunately, Nfc service has stopped."
Once in a while I get:
"Unfortunately, Samsung Link has stopped."
And sometimes I get:
"Process system isn't responding. Do you want to close it?"
And this causes my phone to be unusuable. It's just stuck and I keep getting these messages, being able to actually use the phone for a few seconds every minute. I had removed those apps with Titanium Backup and now Restored them, and this is occuring.
thanks.

I would do a factory reset. Try to see what happens after. If it works, try to reinstall apps with TB. if after that you have again problems, it means something is corrupted and you have to install all apps manually.
Maybe before that you can try wipe cache and wide dalvik from recovery... see if that helps.

What does the following mean when I want to factory reset:
-The key for decrypting fils on the SD card will be erased (You cannot use files on the SD card after a factory data reset)
??

Ok I'm in desperate need of help. I did a factory reset and as soon as the first screen loaded, I keep getting the NFC error and other errors, just this time in a language I don't even understand. I'm at the language choosing screen and keep getting those cursed errors.

Edit coz u removed those files it's giving u those errors do not remove files u not sure what it does
Download a firmware and flash it using odin
Once flashed just reset the device all done and for firmware use my signature link.
Or Sammobile.com
.

Since there is no stock firmware for my country (Israel), is there anything else I can do? Perhaps any way to deal with the NFC by reinstalling any of the services?

Whichever variant u have download any one of that from other country also and flash no plm
And ya u can re store those apk if u have it with u that also will solve the issue
But i personally suggest u to flash a fresh firmware
And which model number s4 u have?

I have an i9505, forgot to mention. I tried to reinstall nfc.apk from google and even from Titanium Backup before my factory reset, but it ended up with "Application not installed".

.

apps lag and crash on stock 5.0 even after full format ?!

is there any fix for this problem ?
i tried also installing the ROM again using Odin but no luck . i m not sure but the problem happen with social apps like twitter , Instagram
also YouTube app don't load the videos although it work perfectly using the browser.
im using slim 6 right now and everything work fine except there is no s-pen function which i mess a lot

Pen function requires a stock rom.
What happened to cause Odin to fail?

Did you wipe your data partition before flashing in odin? Odin doesn't wipe data.

Thanks for the replay
Odin didn't fail , I installed the stock ROM normally and installed the apps from google play
Then like after 10 min of using the app its start to lag and crash
Deleting app data and app cache will work also for 10 min the the app will start laging and crashing again.

Yes I did factory reset
Also I wiped data using twrp before using Odin
I don't know I feel that apps are no more supporting android 5.0
Because I'm running costom ROM now with android 6.0.1 and never had this problem.

Rooted s8 problem.

Okay i have rooted s8 and running costum rom but i have problems with google apps. If i try to download something from playstore i get different errors like (490,491,403,505 and more) when im using chrome i get ssl errors. And other google apps like youtube is giving me network errors all the time.
Things i have tried : cleaning Google Play services Cache, removing and re-adding google accounts. deleting hosts. file with root explorer. Cleaning cache in twrp. Re-flashing gapps. Re installing stock rom- with odin and smart switch (but stock rom crashes and reboots all time so im unable to use it) I also have tried all costum roms.

Pls i really need help

Hard to believe the stock rom keeps on crashing just because you rooted, some samsung apps might not work but that's about it. Which roms did you try? Did you try flashing/wiping through twrp rather than odin?

.
Stock rom keeps crashing and rebooting. i did flash stock rom with odin and i tried smart switch too. i have tried all costum s8 roms and flashed them via twrp, i always did a full wipe. Running renovate ice 2.0 atm but having problems with google apps.

Please i still need help

Not too sure but i think i have some hardware problem, if i try recovery via odin my phone updates to 32% and then says erasing... and then it boots but everything crashes. Im able to use costum roms but i still get some crashes and google apps are not working well.
