This happened to me too after a while. Some people say to clear the cameras storage/cach, but this didn't work for me.
Here's what worked for me:
- Disable moto camera app
- Install Open Camera

I switched to the Pixel Experience rom, that fixed my camera issue.

didnt work open camera can not find the camera , did you do anything else ? step by step maybe ?

Did you root with SuperSU? That always gave me camera problems. Switched to Magisk and haven't had a problem

yea i did use supersu but i just flashed the pixel rom , it doesnt have root the previous file i used to add root didnt work either , can you link the file for rooting the pixel rom ? root is a must , i have to block dem ads

Sorry, but Im on the stock rom. You can try the Magisk root guide on here and see if it works. Make a back up first

Thanks for the recomendation! i flashed the pixel rom and am very happy with it. it fixed the camera issue i was having and its an 8.1 which is leaps and bounds ahead. my previous phone had a locked bootloader from at&t so it was permantly stuck on 4.3.1 i could not flash it at all.

[Zenfone Selfie] Enable Adoptable storage on Stock ROM ?

Hi all,
Like the Zenfone 2 Laser (ZE500KL), Adoptable Storage is disabled by Asus on the Zenfone Selfie (ZD551KL).
It has been confirmed by several owners on the net -and I too- and by checking Asus' Android Marshmallow Stock ROM changelog.
I have the Zenfone Selfie and I do really need Adoptable Storage. I saw some people tell it may be possible to enable it back (with adb, etc), but I dont know if it really works.
Here are the guides I've found (ordered by most promising link first):
http://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-79993-1-1.html
http://www.zenfonehelp.com/2016/06/asus-zenfone-sdcard-to-adoptable-storage.html
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comme..._your_lg_g4_stock_no/?st=iqoyswji&sh=ce67ad13
http://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-69149-2-1.html
Can someone who upgraded their Zenfone Selfie (ZD551KL) to Android Marshmallow confirm if they managed to get Adoptable Storage back with one of these guides ?
Delete this comment please.
I did this on my ZE500KL and is working:

Thanks for the reply, but that's still don't confirm for the Zenfone Selfie (ZD551KL).
By the way, you've confirmed it for the Zenfone 2 Laser ZE500KL, which I also have and will try on it
Also, how did you root your ZE500KL's Marshmallow Stock ROM ?

By the way, are you sure your phone is truely rooted and that apps needing root really works ?
Because in the official SuperSU page on XDA I put up here, the developpers says your phone must already be rooted before flashing SuperSU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1538053
Edit: Your phone may not be rooted, because another member got a problem when he "rooted" his phone the same way you did: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67975226&postcount=16
He got a problem with BusyBox, does yours works perfectly ?

Is rooted. SuperSu is rooting your phone when you flash it, all what you need is the bootloader to be unlocked. The root works fine for me, the only problem is that I need to enable it in ASUS Auto Start Manager or it will not start at boot and will not be able to grand permissions I used the SuperSu from here and everything is working.

I also got the same confirmation from the other member, everything's working now.
I also wouldn't have known for ASUS' Auto Start Manager, Thanks !
The problem was that he used a beta version of SuperSU, while telleing others to also use it
Although, I still find SuperSU's official XDA page warning -aka being root before flashing SuperSU- a bit strange though...

I think that warning is for an old SuperSU when the phone was new or something like that. I'm glad that is working

If your device is indian version (XT1686), install stock ROM. I was facing same issue. Installed below stock rom.

Kamera App doesn't work after rooting device

Hello guys,
I hope some pro reads this and knows exactly what to do, to fix my problem.
When I installed the new Hyper-Rom version 4 with my data from version 3, the result was that the system wasn't rooted anymore.
To that point the stock Samsung Camera app (camera 9.0.05.29 .apk) works though...
But then, when I root the device maunally via TWRP with Magisk19.zip, the camera app doesn't start up anymore.
I open it, the app starts and I see the camera shutter/galery button/lense switch, but the rest is black and then after 5 seconds the app closes.
"Open Camera" app from playstore works fine all the time, but the Samsung Camera app stops to work after rooting device manually.
Hope for help.
Thank you for your attention and helpfulness.

Hello AndrOmega,
thank you very much for replying.
Hmm that's strange. It always worked when I used other roms with root.
The Open Camera App is ok, but I really loved the Samsung Camera App
Maybe there is still a way to fix this

Well you have to watch videos on YouTube to prevent brick your phone!
For twrp installing:use the latest version of twrp and don't forget that untick auto restart at odin
When it passed on odin unplug your phone from pc anf get out your battery and after 5sec put it in.and try to go to twrp by volume up+home+power
Good luck

Feel free bro..i will always be happy if i can help
No bro we don't have such thing at samsung
Unlocking bootloader is just a option that you can install custom rom without any issue
BTW:where you got that error?
SCS and and your phone model and what app do you use would may be helpful

The problem occurred after unlocking. And the toast notification showed, "Unable to open camera, camera is being used by another application". (Sorry I couldn't grab an screenshot. I thought it was hardware side problem but I checked it. Even if was the rare camera issue then the front camera should work. The flashlight isn't working too,)
I forgot to backup the stock ROM and lost it on ROM installation but after installing ROMs, same issue. I tried 3 ROMs, A8 Port, LineageOS 16 and currently on EvoX.
Tried different camera apps , tried WhatsApp camera also, no luck..
Even CPU-Z isn't recognising the Camera.
The device model is J53gxx.
I flashed TWRP exactly as you said.

My advice would be flash stock ROM through Odin and start all over again.
Boot stock rom and make sure camera and flashlight works, then enable oem unlocking and USB debugging and install twrp and a new rom.
If that doesn't solve the issue then it may be hardware related.
Also you could get a log of trying to open camera app and post it here.
