Hi i buy an elephone p8 from guy here in Mexico and two days after my camera stop working..i open my phone and see the flex of the camera is broken..and i cant find who made this crap of phone...i can use another camera module for jiayu or inew..or not working for any reason..or aybe some one can tell who made that phone...
thanks.
OR MAYBE SOMEONE HAVE A P8 FOR SPARE PARTS OHHH THAT WILL BE NICE..
if i were you, i would try to flash another Firmware. Its a KitKat-Version out already, you could flash that, and have a look if your Camera is working again after that.
Hi, I'm sorry that my post can't be useful for you, but can you tell me how you open the smartphone? After I unscrew I don't know what part I have to remove to reach the motherboard and the speaker (I got a problem with my speaker). Thanks.

anyone have experience taking apart the phone and replacing the camera module? or know what instruments are needed for this? thanks a lot!
Which Camera module did you need to replace ?
The main module (The one next to the battery) or the low res version for Video Calls ??
Both are fairly straight forward to replace (The Main one is actually easier than the Video Call One).....
The biggest problem you will have is obtaining one of these modules...
Having said that though, I did see a link here not so long ago for a place in china that was selling parts for these things relatively cheap (Screens, cases, etc).....
As for getting to the main module...
1) Remove Battery cover, battery, and all the screws around the battery area..
2) Remove the bottom cover (From memory there are 4 clips... Take your time and prise them off with a screwdriver...)
3) You should have access to the Camera module (From memory... Its been a long time since I took mine apart)....
There is a workshop manual on here somewhere... Definitely download the thing as it explains everything in regards to taking apart and putting the thing back together again....
yeah the main back camera
ill look around for the manual.. thanks!

It's on the ftp. Something with confidential in the name.
BTW I took mine apart (to replace the LCD and later again to replace the flex cable) and now the camera doesn't work anymore.
Hi man i have the same problem with you once my phone fell of and i think the camera is damaged so pleas if you find any links of the selling parts post it hear.I also damaged the flash light too.
Wow, my camera just started working again. I had the "Failed to initialize camera 3600:100:x" error.
I actually tried fixing that by swapping the camera from another MDA Pro, but that didn't help.
My main camera is not working and the flash too its not giving me any errors when i start the camera it takes some time to start and the only thing i have is a black screen my flash is not working too.Is there a place to bye one of these?Or if i send it to qteq will they fix it?And how much they will charge me for this?and i was thinking to sell it oh man.
Hi all,
I've got a completely ruined Xperia over here. The volume keys are missing but the buttons still work only you need a pencil to use it. There is a little crack in the screen (sort of crack) but touchscreen and screen itself are still working. Everything else is working except the keyboard is acting weird you need to press a few keys to get something working. I thought maybe there's some dev that want to have it to develop and test things before breaking his own device. Or that might be some people that need parts of it! Well i would like to hear from you! If you want some pictures ask me and ill share it with you. I can send it to you but the shipping costs are for the buyer. I can also disassemble it for you if you only want a few parts.
Greets,
Wouter
I am no dev (wish i were) but i do have a dead Xperia X1 that would probably work if i replaced its mainboard and ribbon cable. Im in the US.
Camera module
Hello. My camera module is not working property so I want to replace it. But I can't find replacement.
So I want to buy a camera module from you if it is working good. How much it cost? Could you ship it to Europe\Lithuania?
PS: Sorry for my poor English.
Hi,friend.I don't know if you would sell it,but I need urgently the front camera,all screws and this thing:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868849 .I think you can help me?I will pay you by paypal,i want to get my xperia working!
Hello again
So i got a i9505 s4 dirt cheap (20euros), the screen was broken, last owner said it stopped working when he tried installing cyanogenmod.
I ordered new screen(original), installed stock rom and it got stuck in sview, i tried everything and nothing worked.
Next i tried rom called aosb (i don't remember if its the correct name, similar to cyanogenmod) it got me to home screen, for 15sec it worked great but then screen went black, phone was still going but everytime i tried to unlock it went black again.
Next i took phone apart, maybe i missed something or frogot to connect, but everything looked good. I googeled for possible problems and found that the proximity sensor(next to the top speaker) maybe broken, disconnected it and still same result. For testing purpose i disconnected front camera and phone worked, but only for 20min when the android tried to update gapps and then i was stuck at not able to unlock again.
Took phone apart third time, cleaned all the contacts etc, installed cyanogenmod and it works, but without front camera.
So my questions are
1. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?
2. Is there a way to use back camera without front one being connected? i can live without front camera
3. Why it goes to sview with stock rom?
Sorry for my english.
I hope somebody can help me.

Well try changing the ear piece module..its something in it maybe.. the proximity sensors are with the earpiece module..
1. Sview random appearances have been noted by many, there must be more to the mystery of this broken S4. A possible magnet sensor error..try disabling it via the xposed modules..anyhow.
2. Well you disconnect the font cam and everything works fine? Eh..never heard something like that..
3. Maybe because of a broken/weird magnetic sensor. As i said..
Plus are you sure without breaking rhe flex you removed and replaced and removed..
Your front cam not working could be because of a bad connection too..
Best is to try *#0*# in the phone menu and try testing the front cam and everything to check whether everything works fine
All the best
Press Thanks if I helped

Hello there to all.
I´m newly registered to the forum, although i´ve been using it to search, learn and use roms in my Samsung s3 for some time now.
I´ve bought recently a used S4 i9506. At the time i tested several key points of the device to check if it was all working, however (and don´t ask me why because i cant explain it), i completely forgot to test the cameras.
My problem is the following. Everytime i try to access the camera it says that camera failed or something like server connection failed. I´ve tried every single resolution i could find on the internet and so far all failed to solve it. The problem seems to be in both cameras, i think, because when i try the code *#0*# both Mega cam and front cam give error. Here´s what i tried so far:
- Soft Reset/Hard Reset/factory reset;
- Cleared cache both from boot and manually erasing cache from com.sec.android.gallery3d;
- Tried 3rd party camera apps from GooglePlay;
- Tried the RestartCamera.apk;
- Tried 3 different firmwares for i9506;
- Tried rooting it and then flashed several different roms;
- Switched the rear camera with a new i9506 rear camera module that i bought;
- I cant also test the cameras, because when i use the code *#34971539# they bring a menu on which i can´t use almost every option (see image);
http : / / rghost.net/6Zby4zXFD/image . png
Anyone have any other possible resolution?
I´m thinking on maybe buying a front camera module. Could that do the trick? Could the front facing camera not working properly make the rear camera fail as well?
Thank you for the attention to all who took the time to read.
So far 60 people read and nobody answered. ... is it because you don´t know what else i can do? I´ve been reading the problem may be from the motherboard. What can i do on the motherboard to make things right?
Thanks again
Be patient my friend someone will answer soon
Hi,
I've got the same problem with my s4mini. Both cameras aren't working and all the solutions you explained don't solve it.
I'm thinking about buying another S4mini with broken Display in order to change the motherboard. This might be the only possibility to solve this......

Hey there m8.
I know the feeling, right?!
The thing is that for a faulty i9506 model i could almost buy myself another motherboard and mount it, but i was hoping to find some other solution, maybe even some electronics expert opinion on what i could do in the motherboard to make it work again. There are some videos on youtube that teaches how to change some components on the motherboard to solve problems like dead smartphone or constant auto reboots. Also, finding a faulty i9506 model isn´t as easy as finding a regular S4. :crying:
Thx for sharing the problem and for the opinions,
and greetings from Portugal
Today i've changed the mainboard aaaaaaand -> cameras still not working
So i started to change the front cramera and the ear-brightness-sensor from the old s4 mini with the broken screen into my working one. And now both cameras are working again!:good:
I think the cause is most likely the brightness sensor which is combined with the ear speaker. This could explain why both cameras are not working.
I'm not completely sure due to i changed the front camera also. However changing the main camera did not do anything as mentioned above.
Maybe i should mention: A few weeks ago i've changed the earspeaker-brightness-unit because the speaker wasn't working anymore. Right after this both cameras stopped working.

Thank you for the update on your situation m8. That could be some relevant information there. Can anyone confirm if the sensor is the same for all s4 models? If so i could find more easily one from another s4 model and try it, for the sake of desperation.
cheers
Helllo guys...i have more problem with my Pro 3 like CDLA only after restart ... quick charge problem...and so..

Had the same on my Le Pro 3 after a dive in my swimming pool
I solved this problem by changing the whole board module, it contains the 2 mics (multimedia+phone) + charging port.
If you want to do it, you certainly have to buy a new screen also and have desoldering 2 wires from the speaker and resoldering back on the new board.
Here is the board I bought:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...034.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.48d74c4dxSCKI8
You'll find a lot of different displays at different prices too.
Good luck

Hello, i have such problem
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/help/le-pro-3-x720-microphone-doesnt-calls-t3867413
What do you recommend me do to? To buy new board (the one you showed) would fix the issue?
i just dont understand the part "buying new screen" . My screen works totaly fine, why do we need to change? Can we not put it back by a special glue (for screens) ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Sorry for your phone, it's hard to say it's related to the mic board because it's working after the reboot... but maybe it's a question of temperature... for the money that this board costs, you can give a try.
Now, why the screen? because I'm quite sure that when you will remove your screen, you'll damage it. Or I'm really bad for that I opened it two times and broke it two times :laugh: I also bought a B7000 special glue.
I hope you'll find a fully working phone soon.

You are right, the only way to successfully remove the screen is carefully with a Heat gun. But long enough that the screen will fall off, when you tilt it to the side. The heat shield will also have residual glue.
