Flash the ROM again to fix your WiFi. While the ROM may help, I believe your camera problem is a hardware issue. You'll have to replace the camera module.

ok i just updated 5.0.1 . and how to flash rom via odin?
Flashing a custom ROM won't help fix your WiFi. You need to flash a stock ROM through Odin, and there are threads in the S4 forums which explain how to flash a ROM. Please use the search engine to find it.
Same Problem...
Just noticed this problem 3-4 days ago. I've done a factory reset and also tested a known working rear camera in my phone - I still get an updating firmware message or can't connect to camera message when I open the camera app. Also, the flashlight won't work and disappears from the pull-down menu in Lollipop. I'm unrooted on an I9505G (GPE S4) running 5.0. Not having any other issues with the phone and have tried re-seating the rear camera on the pins over a dozen times. Cleared cache /data from the camera app, uninstalled upadates, etc. I'm stuck. My best guess is either the board, or software related and I haven't figured it out.
With the OP, once firmware had been ruled out as a problem, the only thing remaining would be a motherboard issue. He had already replaced his camera module.
i just want my camera to work no matter wifi work or not. i m stock lollipop
so kindly suggest me something for camera. btw today i will try to flash ro
Take your S4 in for service. If you've updated the ROM and still do not have a working camera, you have a problem with the motherboard, not the camera module.
I have an XT1644. I rooted it and installed Xposed about a week ago. Out of nowhere, today the camera no longer works. I have not installed any new apps or done anything else to the phone. When I open up the camera, the image is all black and the onscreen buttons are not responsive. I have to wait a bit and then it says "camera error camera must be restarted". I have rebooted into safemode and factory reset and the problem persists. Anybody have any idea whats going on?

I flashed stock and that fixed it, but then I again rooted and the problem returned. If I boot into "factory mode" the camera works. On safe mode it doesn't, so I'm guessing it's not a hardware problem.
i had this problem yesterday.
Rooted no problems, Installed Xposed stable version, and then out of the blue after 1 day my camera wasn't working.
Even after i disabled the modules it still was not working.
I had to restore a backup i made the night before....

I fixed it by flashing the newest stock firmware. The old stock firmware was not only messing up the camera, but other things as well. Ever since I did that, I've had 0 problems. Rooted and Xposed have been working just fine for weeks. Give it a shot.
roygbiv859, where do you get the "latest firmware" and how to flash it?
I am hitting this problem and my phone says software is already up to date. Same thing as you guys -- camera and flashlight only work in factory mode.
I have Xposed and root as well, but I remember things used to be working all together.
I noticed that in "factory mode" cellular network does not work, and battery never charges, otherwise I do not really mind running in that mode.
I saw a version number "MPJ24.139-48" at bottom of status page, is that the firmware number? Looks like I am already on the latest.
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?
Hello,
The camera on my father's N9005 (stock LP, unrooted) sudden had stopped working - first error was „server error occurred” and now the error I get is „camera failed”. After hours of xda/reddit searching for a solution, I ended up by replacing rear camera with a new one. The result is unchanged. Now the phone is rooted and flashed with MagMa-NX VX1 ROM and the camera error is still there.
All fixes on the internet (wiped cache, wiped data, reinstall stock ROM via ODIN after MagMa flash, etc etc) doesn't worked for me.
Now I think that is a hardware problem, maybe some resistor on motherboard is ****ed up in the cam area, or I don't know...
Is there anybody that had had the same problem? Wich solution worked for you? Thanks!
Same problem was posted .
Use xda search .

Hi, I've been trying to fix my camera for a week by now, everytime I open it, tells me it's busy by another app. I disabled it, removed updates, cleared cache, remains the same.
I reflashed the stock rom once again and still remain the same. In the last time I even updated it to Nougat but remains still the same. Tried safemode, same happens.
One of the other apps I installed to try it out, returned me a different error however, saying he couldnt get the camera, because the ID of that camera didnt existed (I don't remember by memory the exact words)
Did anyone experienced this and could overcome it ?
