So a couple of days ago I bought this device and after testing all hardware was fine, I rooted the device. When I tried to use again the camera it did not longer work. I tried every possible option to fix this issue including a hard reset and it still didn't work. Finally I decided to relock the bootloader so I could try and ask for a new device. Boom, this actually solved the problem and the camera worked again. Now I don't know if I should keep the phone, if I can try and root again the device hoping the camera will work or if I should give up and turn the phone back. Does anyone know what could have happened and if this will happen again if I root once again?
Same problem with my phone as well. I flashed the elementalx 2.02 kernel and its fixed. I dunno what caused the camera crash but flashing the kernel fixed it

Hey guys (and girls),
I've got a strange problem with my phone.
Almost every time I have to shut it down it won't turn on again.
I can try everything like going in recovery or download mode, just nothing happens.
I installed JDC optimized cm 12.1 on the phone but the problem appeared after a failed factory reset in stock rom without anything flashed.
It helps when I remove the battery for a longer time, like an hour or so.
I installed a new bootloader and modem, I flashed a pit file but nothing helped. Flashing works without problem, once it turns on.
Generally the phone runs smooth and without any bugs or errors.
Could it be an hardware failure or is it a software thing?
Thanks in advance for any help! If you need more informations just ask. It's a i9505 by the way
It appears to be a software problem. If it is a hardware problem you would get the problem regardless of the rom that you flahsed.
Install the stock rom via odin and wait and see for two weeks whether the problem comes back or not. If the problem comes back then you might have a hardware problem.
I have the same problem. In another forum someone told me to be something relative to the power button but I've not tested that at the moment

I have actually no problems once the phone startet, everything works fine.
It has had the problem first with stock rom, then i flashed JDC optimized Cyanogen and it was still present.
Then i thought it could be some problem with the Memory and i flashed a PIT, but that didn't change a thing.
Right now i'm without phone since 15 o'clock, its 00.15 now. That really ****s me up!
Hi All
I have an issue with my S5 Plus (G901F) a few days ago I rooted, TWRP and installed the stable MM ROM from Tkkg1994 and have been happily using my phone. This morning while I was opening the Gmail app the device rebooted and when it came back up I noticed WiFi was not on. Pressing the quick menu WiFi button turns it green for a second before going back to disabled. Likewise going to into settings - WFi and using the slider does not work either, it just goes back to off.
So far, I have wiped ART/Dalvik, reflashed BL and Modem, factory reset. Wiped the whole device and redid everything including diffrerent ROM's on the same BL/Modem (CPE1) and have the same result.
Everything else works, just not WiFi, I should also add I have tried with and without the SD card and disabling/enabling other radios (GPS/BT) in different combos has not worked either.
Has anyone come across this and can they suggest next steps?
I'm currently downloading the stock ROM that came with my phone to see if that helps.
Cheers
Stock ROM did not help.
Did you find solution? I have recently started to have same issue with same device.

Probably not. The S5 seems to suffer a lot by such issues. I bought mine 3 months ago in a shop. It worked for about 2 months very well. Then all of the sudden it became hot in my pocket so i had to quickly remove the battery. After this the device suffered by ocessional reboots. Nothing helped. Even trying to reflash the stock firmware by trying several Pit´s.
Finally got a replacement as obviously either the RAM or the CPU got defective. The other phone lasted for one week as the wifi module got defective there. Nothing helped either. Now it´s my 3th S5. This weekend my flashlight and camera stopped working. Fortunally got this fixed by reflashing the stock firmware.
Honestly I like the phone but it seems to be quite buggy. Never got such problems with my old S4 and am thinking about going back to the older device.
dude try flashing 4 files flash through odin
Before some weeks ive been asking here what ROM I should use. Ive done this cause my power drains to fast.
So I switched back to OxygenOS3.0 and everything worked fine until today.
Today my phone got always authentification problems with my WiFi at Home.
So ive thought to fully unroot my device and go back on the first stock ROM.
But it fixed nothing and I also restart my router so thats not the fault.
Also the Fingerprint Sensor including the Touch Function doesnt work anymore ive also got this problem before a half year but fixed it very fast after installing CM13.
Now ive wanted to know if someone got the same problems or one of them and could help or give some advices the phone is only 1 year old and I didnt want to swap to another one until a year.
What I would do is flash some other roms and make sure that you're using the hybrid twrp
Or probably start over again after flashing stock ROM.
Before that try clearing cache and Dalvik which solves issues on most deodexed ROMs.
Hello,
Yesterday i receive the notification for update for android nougat in my phone. The update ends without any problem but right now with this new firmware I have 3 BIG problems:
Back camera don't work > The camera apps open the front camera and i don't have the button to switch for the other camera.
Flash don't work > Flashlight app only controls the screen but do nothing to the flash.
Laser: The app for measure with the laser don´t open.
I already have done a factory reset without any success.
I already enter in safe mode without success.
I already clear all the cache without success.
Any ideas?
Are someone with the same problem?
Thanks!
Hi I updated my Zenfon 3 to Android 7 two wks ago after receive the msg from Asus. After reading your posting, I try all the problems mentioned in your article but it don't exist (maybe I'm lucky), in fact some of the pre exist (problem come with my purchase) problem such as the ear-phone connection problem has resolved. I have yet to find any major bugs in my Zenfon 3 yet. Overall I'm happy with the update.
Try reinstalling the ota. Flash via bootloader. Get the update file via asus site
I have done that but without success
I haven't experienced any issues. I factory reset right after updating though - you may want to give that a try.

If that is the case it may already be a phone issue. Flashing a device will do a clean install of the software. So any software issues should be resolved.
I suggest trying downgrading to the very first os in the asus site. Make sure you're using the same version though
I just started having an accelerometer issue. Suddenly my device started vibrating and turning the flash light on and off. Turns out the accelerometer was triggering the flashlight gesture. It is also screwing up my ability to use my camera because it thinks my phone orientation keeps changing. The only fix that I have found online is to do a factory reset but I am running TWRP and Nougat flashable stock build from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/twrp-flashable-stock-builds-t3813351
I have tried flashing a backup I have from a couple months ago but that didn't help. Any advice on how to proceed is greatly appreciated. I do want to move up to Oreo but haven't taken the plunge yet because I need to research the issues with IMEI disappearing or something to that effect. I will do some research and maybe try to re-flash the Nougat stock build that I am running and see if that helps, after I backup all data.
Fixed it. Downloaded the build i was using and flashed it and it resolved the accelerometer issue.
