I know it's years to late but just for reference as this thread came up early in search results:
try using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl&hl=en with PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK enabled. That solved the problem for many people (including me). I also had reboots when trying to open the camera.

[HELP] My camera stopped working after a failed update

Help!!
I got the phone last sunday (15th May) from o2 and from day one I have had this problem
I updated the Samsung app then It said that there was an update available for the camera so I downloaded and started the install.
It said it would take 4 minutes but I got a error message after about 2/3 minutes and it stopped the install.
Trouble is now my camera doesn't work and I haven't got the option of trying a fresh install of the camera firmware.
Tried
soft/hard reset
flash ke2 firmware
but I cant get the camera functioning again
Any ideas apart from taking it back to the store which I dont want to do as they have no more in stock?

Have you tried flashing back to whatever firmware was on the phone when you bought it? I know you said you'd re-flashed KE2 but was that the stock FW? Try flashing stock KE1, see if that helps.
The firmware that was on it originally was the one before the ke1 but I cant find that one on o2.
I will have another look tomorrow after work.

thanks for the link todo700
I flashed with the very first software but still no joy in getting the camera working.
I noticed that one of the options on the *#*#34971539#*#* menu is -CAM to phone FW Dump
If someone can dump their working FW with this option then I assume I can install it with the PHONE to Cam FW Write?

Hmmm, crap... I'm actually a bit scared to try this Got the phone yesterday and would like to know for sure exactly what the Cam to phone FW dump does (even though the name is pretty explanatory).

Yeah I wonder if any can confirm that is safe to dump the camera fw to phone?
I have seen on the galaxy s forum that they have successfully used the write camera fw from phone to flash new firmware.
It would be good if it is possible to do it this way then we will be able to back up our camera firmware incase any has problems like I am having at the minute with my camera.

Right sorted phone exchanged instore (gave me one that was reserved for someone else cos they had none left)
Phone is already on KE2 firmware but this one is locked to o2.
damn, I'm another victim of the failed update via samsung apps.
Unfortunately I can not return it (bought it in another country).
Can someone take a dump of the cam firmware and upload it so I can write it properly?
Partial solution -
So I reflashed various firmwares, dumped the camera FW to phone and tried to reload it (this failed as they were the same version.
If I disable auto flash the cam works fine, though the video sometimes works and sometimes does not.
Help me plz i also have this problem and don't know what to do !!!

Do you know any firmware newer than this? bcoz i cannot update again it says i already have the latest version, but actually i have failed the update.
I got the same problem. Any solutions?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Same here, anyone came up with workable solution to reverse the update or replace with a working firmware. If it was possible just to re-install the firmware using the update then things would be so much simpler !
long shot but have you tried the emergency firmware recovery option in kies?
this thread has convinced me*not* to update the cameras firmware!
is there a change log anywhere to show what the update gives?

Probably not. I just updated the camera with no problem at all. But can't say i noticed any difference, i still have the pink spot.
don't tell me about little faults i haven't noticed yet (or don't have)

Try reading a few threads and you will get worried, lol. Just a pink spot on camera, a yellow tint in the lower left of the screen when using lower brightness and a blue tint when rotating. Those are just the screen issues Ignore them if you wanna sleep comfortably at night
hmm, mine don't seem to have any of those

S4 9500 lockscreen crashes !!!!

Hi guys, i am in Malaysia and got my S4 few days ago. After a couple of days i noticed that if i swipe to unlock d screen it doesn't respond, although the small bright spot is moving on the lockscreen. After about 10-15 sec blue notification led goes on and phone restarts.
This happens almost 5-6 times in a day and is really annoying. I don't have any 3rd party lockscreen widget or any app Has anyone faced this issue ? My baseband is I9500DXUAMDK.

[Q] Google Nexus 4 updating problem

Hi there, fellow android users !
So here is my problem: Yesterday my phone downloaded the kit kat update and tried to install it, but at about 70% i got an error so after about 5 minutes of waiting i just turned it off then on again, but now when i click on "check for update" it says it's up to date and yet i'm at 4.3.
So i tried sideloading it but i got "error in /tmp/update.zip(status7) update aborded", is there anything i can do to fix this and get 4.4 (i'm willing to wipe everything on my phone ?
Thank you !

I have a EUR model so I will have to wait. But is the bug that the LG G3 had since the update to Lollipop solved? The bug where the screen goes on every 10 seconds after the battery is fully loaded using a wireless pad? Since the update to lollipop I cant use wireless charging anymore since this is a very anoying bug.
Wouldn't know. This is my first time on Lollipop.

I just updated my D855 SEA model with the latest OTA, did a fully wipe and started fresh. Charged it last night on the wireless charge pad and no such issue.
Cheers
Thanks, @cheetah2k

If this V20B SEA an older version than the current V20E?
I believe so, @twosix but the thing is, it doesn't have much bloat, IMHO.

My SEA/20b version has intermittent weirdness with wireless charging. It often wakes in the night to say its charging slowly. I'm using an LG WCP-700 charging pad.
Guys, for some reason I feel that 20b is better than 20e (had that before the official launch of lollipop for SEA).
after updating via pc suite and checking for another update, it shows two upgrades available with version that is still v20b.
can someone please let me know if they have successfully upgraded their phone with both upgrades?
thanks.

well that didnt go well, it was a two part update to 20b, after the first part installed it got stuck in a boot loop and then second part installed still in boot loop, after install finished it just kept boot looping, i had to put it in recovery mode and do a factory reset, that worked but it loaded up with 10k 4.4.2 kitkat, so pluged it back in and ive just updated back to 20b, think ill leave it there unless somebody wants to try it

Same thing happened to me, except i think i only got the boot loop after the second update.
Did you happen to catch the firmware file name of the second update?

in the box on the screen on the second update it was already showing 10 k 4.4.2, i can only think that the first part of the update rolled it back to kit kat
Reporting after update
Update sucks, a bit laggy, and usage bumped up from 14% to 20% in smart cleaning. And there's really no need for T-action, though quick remote did get its very much needed upgrade.
I think this has some added bloatware to it, guest mode is gone (i mean half-a$$ed), quick memo+ does not activate when pressing its icon from the integrated home button, but I did discover a way to use it.
First, open the quick memo icon (green), close it, then press the shortcut on the home tray, now it works!
does anyone of you know what's the difference between the brightness slider on notification widget having C on it and without C? I cannot understand what's the difference, it seems the same for me.

I think we have to wait till we get our version.
Well, a big thank you !
This is great...
I am runnig a C6906 from Rogers in Canada
Installed the rom from TWRP (super clean, wiped everything except the Ext-SD), then reinstaleld TWRP over it (Just to be sure)
It booted to the T-Mobile screen and froze there. I had to go out and just left it in my pocket.
When I next looked (30min or so), the screen had finally gone dark. I woke it up and was at the fresh install start up screen.
Had root, had TWRP.
Instaled Titanium and started removing the german apps and t-mobile apps.
24 hours later and no issues at all.
Thanks for a great upload.
For those looking to install just be patient.
Good Luck..
