Camera Fail Error! Please help!

Hey Omnian. Sadly, that's what I did and unfortunately still no camera.

So that leaves one thing: rooting. Having read through the link you supplied, I don't feel comfortable doing it and I don't really see the full benefits other than the possibility of a working camera.

Would you suggest talking to Samsung? A lot of guys on here don't like them but I think Rooting should be the last resort and being the only thing left, Samsung can't hurt?

What do you reckon?

Hey Omnian. Been a while...

I'm struggling to find a Samsung Shop in my area! There isn't a dedicated shop anywhere in or near Hampshire! Where are you situated? All the Samsung "repair" centres are within other shops, is that what you're referring to?

Oh...So Sorry Akhtar. Totally missed this thread. Did not receive any notification for a reply...again.  

I'm in Indonesia.

If those "repair" centers can do firmware upgrades, then yes, you can go there. Firmware upgrades are Free.

Actually, there's no harm rooting your device. It just let's you have access to you device's system files.

Anyway, I'm also not sure the method for rooted device will work for your camera problem.

Hi dextaville,

NP and this thread is not old. I just missed the notification of a reply. The case is still not solved.

What did you do before the problem occurred?

For bro Akhtar's case, was he'd apply the "PHONE TO CAM FW WRITE" in the system menu.

Just to confirm, can you check whether there's anything blocking the camera?

If you want to try, download This .zip file and extract it.

There are 4 files inside:
CE147F00.bin
CE147F01.bin
CE147F02.bin
CE147F03.bin

Copy them into your device's /system/firmware/ folder, replacing those that are there.

Restart your device.

From your default dialpad, key in *#34971539# and select "PHONE TO CAM FW WRITE".

Restart your device and start your camera.

Please note that I am not sure whether it will work, those 4 files was extracted from my GT-i9000.

And if it does work for you, please post a confirmation, hopefully this can provide some help to bro Akhtar too.

Thanks.

Okay Akhtar,

Let us know how it work out, when you get your device back.

Now I got a notice for your reply. Something is wrong with the notification system. 

me to having same prob plzz help me 

service center will able to fix my prob ??? or ihv to suffer

mr.kany, is could be a HARDWARE issue that some people on here have had problems with. If you have tried everything available on this site, try samsunggalaxysforum.com or xda-developers.com. They will also have more info and resouces.

But like I say, it could be a hardware problem which is why I've sent mine away. I tried everything bar rooting and changing root files and you would know that if you did read this thread.

It may be best to send it away for 2 reasons: they're pros and know what they're doing and you'll get it back with the latest firmware and (possibly) software.

Hope this helps!

Hey mr.kany.

Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for the phone to come back. I was told it would take 7 - 10 days and it was handed in on wednesday.

I was going to update as soon as I got it back but it hasn't been sent to a Samsung repair centre but to an o2 repair centre via the shop that supplied me the phone.

Now it's just a waiting game...
