Hi, I need help with my front facing camera, as soon as I switch to my selfie camera it just reads camera failed and it reboots. Same message in a loop, if I clear the camera cache and data cache it loads just fine when in rear camera mode but as soon as I change to the front facing camera it just fails again. I am on the latest software update checked that all but no luck, rebooted no luck
Checked the web, removed whatsapp, turned off smart view same error. I went into safe mode, same error. I cleared my phone cache same error. Interesting when I tried to load bootloader to clear the cache it said updating software No command but 30secs later took me to the prompt to clear the cache, reboot phone wipe data etc. Clearing cache didnt work so I rebooted my phone tried to go into bootloader again and got the prompt to download the offical software firmware will void warranty do I want to proceed, I selected yes no it reads downloading do not turn off target and its stuck on that prompt Ive never seen this before what is it what do I do now?
Ok researched that stuck on bootloading screen so I found the keys to hold I can boot into my phone now but why cant I go into bootloader now to do a factory reset as a test? Camera issue still exists by the way

Hi There,
Shortly after updating my Nexus 4 to 4.2.2 OTA today the screen went blank and I've been unable to get it to function correctly again.
The phone is still showing some signs of life, I am getting notification LEDs and I am unable to unlock the phone with facial recognition even though the screen remains blank - I can tell from the vibration and the LED stopping that it has unlocked. Pressing the power button to lock it starts the notification LED again.
I have tried a hard boot (Volume Down + Power) and the screen did come on to display the google logo followed by the X but as soon as they had been shown it returned to a blank screen.
Does anybody have any ideas of what this could be or how to solve it or should I contact Google in regards to this issue?
Thanks in advance for any help
seems like the OTA update has corrupted somewhere. You should reboot into bootloader and use fastboot to flash the stock 4.2.2
Is there anything else worth trying before doing that? I wouldn't have a clue where to start as this is my first android device
Ok so I got it working but did lose all my data. If anyone else comes across this issue I had to boot into recovery mode and do a full wipe/factory reset. The first time i did this the phone started up with no problems but during configuration when I entered my Google account the blank screen strangely returned so I again did a full wipe in recovery mode, skipped the 'set-up google account' step and then entered it manually later in settings once the device had started up.
No idea what caused this and if its a bug in 4.2.2 or an issue with some settings in my google account that are being backed up and restored to the phone but either way I had no problems until 4.2.2 update installed and the issue occuring even after first data wipe rules out any third party apps being the cause.
I had a similar problem after updaing that the screen stay blank and it wo'nt unlock
As soon as i disable the bluetooth the problem solved.
It's happened when i paired it with my pc
The Galaxy note 3 (9005, Kitkat 4.4.2) camera doesn't work anymore, only a full black screen visible with none of the options are touchable and the phone freezes while only the home button works. I have tried the following, but didn't help:
Removing the battery for few minutes,
Deleting cache and data for the stock Camera app
Tried deleting the cache partition,
Tried turning it on in Safe Mode.
None of the above methods worked, does that mean I should go for the factory reset or any other recommendations?

Hey everyone,
So my phone died and then I got it charged and turned on and it booted up to the encryption lock screen where it says to start up your device, enter your pin. So I enter my pin and then its says, "verified" and then "starting android". and then a padlock appears on the screen, it opens, and there's like a load up circle going around it. At first, I let the phone sit to see if it would do anything but after an hour, I figured something is wrong. I dont know why this happened, I think I might have accidentally turned on the secondary encryption, but this really sucks, I don't want to have to factory reset and lose all my pictures and data. I can boot into recovery mode but sometimes when i turn it on it shows a screen that says installing update and has like a google ring looking thing that should be spinning around but it looks like its glitching out, after that screen it will go to a no command screen, and then it will eventually reach recovery mode. I really hope someone can help or knows what is going on because, I really dont want to lose all my stuff.
Thanks for your time
I tried posting link but im new, if you look up s7 edge frozen encryption, its the first link , another person describes the same issue.
I had this issue. In recovery, tell it to clear the delvic cache. Then try a reboot.
It too a few attempts before the phone would not boot directly into recovery. But once i got it to do a normal boot, it started normally.
Then after it's running, back it all up, boot into recovery, and do a system restore.
Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. I restarted my phone, it asks for my pin which I enter correctly. It then gets stuck on spinning padlock. I've tried a soft reset (I think that's what it's called, holding down power and volume keys). It restarts, I enter pin, it says starting android then gets stuck again. I'm not very tech minded (typical girl). Can anyone help. I'd rather not lose all my photos and apps. Thank you so so much in advance. Toni x
I am facing the same issue, but with a Samsung Galaxy S8.
- Safe mode: doesn't boot
- Recovery mode: works, clear cache doesn't solve the problem.
So since nothing worked to make it work (except the Factory Reset, but I didn't tried this option), I decided to wait in the padlock screen. After 3 hours the phone started.
I guess that the phone is decrypting some big file during startup. Indeed, some days before before this problem happens, I downloaded some big files via torrent (~2-4 GB video files).
I'll delete these files and make some tests to understand the source of this problem.
Have same issue after recent update, tried clearing cache and safe mode but didn't help, been on padlock for about 10 hours now, any solutions/experiences?
ps: on stock rom with stock recovery, no root or anything of that sort at all.
Have exactly the same issue..Please help

Hello everyone
I have an S7 Edge with no operator software (it's free) and I have received the security update with the September patch
I have installed it, it has been installed (blue screen with the bar that is filling) and after the restart, it re-enters the same blue screen and reinstalls it.
It should take about 100 times
I cannot enter recovery mode to clear the cache (I understand that because the update jumps before recovery)
I have entered download mode and nothing, I even connected the Odin in case there was any option to clear the cache and nothing.
Any ideas beyond installing odin all the software again and losing all the data?
Regards, and thank you very much
Hi guys,
so heres the full story :
i plug in one of my usb drives through the OTG and my mobile suddenly hangs, i press the power off button just once to make the screen go to home but suddenly after the screen goes black a blue screen appears and it starts saying "installing update" and then "erasing data" after that it goes black so i try and go into the recovery and this it what it says
No support single sku
supported api - 3
dm- verify error
E : failed to mount / system (invalid argument)
so seeing after this i figured i had to flash the phone with stock rom (i had nougat 7.0 and flashed the same) and did the flash, flashing took around 20 mins which was unusual and after the flashing was complete it went automatically to the recovery (even though it shouldnt go to recovery just boot normally)
and said no command but then suddenly it send the following the command like reboot , wipe cache etc came up and this is what was written below :
No support single sku
supported api - 3
# manual mode #
-- Applying multi csc--
-- Applied the csc code : ECT
successfully applied multi csc
successfully verify for dmverify hash tree
after reading successfully verify for dmverify hash tree , i thought everything was ok so i did the reboot now and it got stuck at the samsung logo with the blue notification light beeping for around 45mins.
i searched and found that the cache should be cleared , i went to the recovery and wiped the cache and mind that even while going to the recovery and while doing the wipe cache the blue dot notification light was still on which is very very strange , wiping the cache took another 30mins , after the wipe cache completed it went back to the blue screen and said installing update and then it said the same above thing till applied the csc code : est and then suddenly the screen went black
now i dont know if it went black because of low battery or just got bricked , it just went black
i tried powering it on , it didnt turn on but then suddenly it turned on with the screen completely scrambled (will put a pic of it), this happened 2 or 3 times till the phone got completely dead
in case u are wondering how i remember all the steps i was making a video while doing everything
soo guys any help at all is highly appreciated , i have over 7000 contacts and over 31gb of data , mobile was of 32gb capacity.
i am pretty sure this problem is very rare in the way it happened like 2omins to flash , 45mins at the logo screen, blue light on even while clearing the cache and on the recovery screen
i suspect my usb had some kind of virus or malware which suddenly hanged my phone and started this.
plus the day before this happened the phone was really heating up.
also let me know please if any of you guys know anyone who has fixed this problem and recovered all the data.
i live in dubai, i will leave my whatsapp number also below
+971 56 910 23 69
Thanks so much
PS i cant find a way to post the scrambled image up, i am new here
