Hello!
I recently got a LG V20(H990DS) as a gift and it was all good until i tried to flash a custom rom. I unlocked the bootloader through DirtySanta`s method, I rooted it, i tried flashing weta and kept crashing because of the kernel. Yesterday i flashed a stock rom and entered the camera app, the back cameras were working just fine, but when i switched to the frontal, it crashed. And it still keeps crashing when i open the app. The cameras still work though, on messenger/snapchat i can use both the frontal and the back cameras.
Any ideas on what to do?
Thanks in advance.
What ROM was Ii?

Had this phone for about 1 week now. Everything been fine until today. I tried to take a few pictures, but I couldn't. Received an a pop up with "Cannot connect to camera" I'm not sure what's causing this issue, I cleared the data/cache on it and still occurs. Is there any solution to this issue?
Thank you.
I have exactly the same situation.. But it's weird - ported LGCamera works without errors, other apps (market or aosp based) throw error. Sometime clear app data help, but only sometimes..
It could be hardware problem?
I've had this happen when I was on an older CM11 nightly.I did have to preform a clean install to fix the problem.

18/03? It didn't helped.. I was testing old and newest ROMs - same situation I think it could be some hardware problem - currently I have version from Singapore build at 02/2014
EDIT#1
Weird.. I will go back to stock - test, then install custom ROM.. Something go wrong - when I'm using ported LGCamera.apk in CM/Slim/PA it's working, other camera apps - don't..
I guess I found out the issue of why it was being caused. I also have a Nexus 5 and both had the APP Flashlight by Go Launcher. Seems to me when I downloaded and used it couple of times it caused my camera not to work on both phone. Uninstalled it and now it's working fine with now issues. I'm not sure if you guys also have a flashlight app, but maybe you can give it a try.
I got a replacement g2 from my insuarance and from the box mine done the same thing i tried every app i could find one day i flashed a diffrent rom and was bored. Clicked on my cam and it worked went back to my stock backup for my updatez and it wouldnt connect found out its was a software isse broken software from the factory i put a new stock rooted rom on and good as new. Mine was down. For about a month whrn i notticex what was wrong i thouvht i had a hardware failure but it wasnt there is always a chance of a bad cam but also some app like certain flashlights do take over your hardware if uve rooted and the phone is new goback stock unroot and have swapped
I'm on stock KK right now = 0 problems, so I think it's not hardware. LG camera and other apps always working fine.
Now I will go back to AOSP and test apps again

Hello,
Did you go back to aosp ? Is the camera ok now ?
Thanks
Here's a thought. After a new rom anybody feel there is a dial pad code to bridge the connection gap.
help, question

THANKS，I got the same problem and after I deleted the Go Flashlight the camera worked again!
Same issue. Go flashlight solved thanks to this thread.
Having similar issue. Flashed a new bootstack and camera stopped working. Factory reset, fresh install tot, then kdz, then cloudy g3. Camera still force closes and other camera apps can't connect. I can take one picture after a fresh install (which I did three times flashing from tot...).

Nothing worked. Just gave away the phone and bought an LG G3
Hey everyone
Having a really weird problem here where I cant get the camera to work on my G900I kltedv Vodaphone AU S5.
So I had my first S5, rooted it, installed TWRP, wiped it, installed the latest CM12.1 nightly, and this worked perfectly. Encryption worked, camera worked. Awesome.
Bought the exact same phone the next day (G900I, kltedv VodaAU) and followed the exact same proccess. But for some reason, I went to launch the camera after everything was done and the camera gave me the error "Cant connec to the camera"
After not being able to fix it, I flashed the phone back to stock. The camera works fine on stock. I then proceeded to try 3 different roms (Vrtoxin, CM13 unofficial, Cm12.1 nightly) and all 3 give me the same camera error. I always wipe everything before and after install to make sure its clean.
Dont understand why the camera works fine on one phone but not this one? Really not sure what to do here or how to troubleshoot this but I REALLY need to fix this as I bought this phone for CM basically.
Please help me!
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.

I had the same issue as you after using the toolkit, did you fix it?
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?
I used to have Havoc OS and everything was working fine but the location. it never worked for some reason and i needed it on my everyday life.
So used UPPERCUT to install stock ROM, ONLY to quickly realise that CAMERA, FLASHLIGHT and YouTube didn't work.
(when opening camera there was only a black screen, flashlight said i was using a camera app and YouTube was endlessly loading without showing my feed)
I wiped everything and flashed stock ROM from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...-h870-eu-30b-rom-t4007979/page10#post83380121
STILL having the same problem.....
when using havoc OS i didnt have this problem...
any ideas?
Did you flashed Nougat first? If not flash Nougat
to further explain my problem,
even though Camera used to work fine on HAVOC OS,
now even when using a Hardware Tester from Play Store, the app can't find a the camera...
can flashing stuff on your phone kill hardware?
I had a similar issue with a H872. Camera & proximity wouldn't work after flashing back to stock Oreo from Havoc. Someone here suggested flashing back to Nougat. Lo and behold...it fixed all my issues. I then performed software updates to get to the latest stock version.
Good luck!
