Unfortunately I happened to get the same issue, opened my tablet up once again and apparently it's got nothing to do with the connector.. My hands aren't steady enough to open that camera module up but probably something's wrong inside there.

So it's not self-fixable..Don't even try..

Biggest possibility is a badly soldered sensor.. which on pressing reconnects.

But finally not even pressing helps btw.

I'm way too lazy to send it off atm.. maybe I should... But it's way too obvious that I've tampered with the insides..

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
thanks for trying and letting all of us know!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
Thanks for this great info...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
I put in a technical inquiry on the VIP site and all I got was the PWR/DWN volume boot and wipe data response. Anyone have success using that method? I don't feel like doing that unless it will fix the problem permanently. Remember this is my 8mp camera that I'm having issues with.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jetbruceli:
I am having the same issue with the camera, i am gonna try opening it up and fix it. My warranty is voided with the unlock bootloader so i dont think i have a choice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
praying that you could fix it... then we all have hopes fixing our own device too.. if you're successful, a video is very much appreciated...

RMA for Rear Camera - 2nd time !!!!

Frustrating.. did an RMA in April for green rear camera. Waited about 3 weeks for it to be returned in May... here I am in July and oh joy, green rear camera again. I have not dropped it. This is VERY aggravating. I will call Asus again about yet another RMA for the same issue.

When I had returned it the first time, they had to wait for a part. well ..the part aint working.. or the workmanship on the connections stink. I wish it was a software issue.. argh !!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
And also suffering from the green read camera issue now :/

Never dropped it and it worked for about half a year, now suddenly *poof*...

No warranty after opening it up in the past and unlocking, so might as well open it up again... Sucky asus and their issues, hell. After breaking 2 chargers (by ehm, just using them) this is a nice one as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sahilcc7:
Also got the green camera issue suddenly. Pressing no longer does anything. Along with my LCD mura, and crappy wifi.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
Still hesitant to RMA mine fearing that they would LOCK my device and can no longer unlock it... many users confirmed this right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erick0423:
I have same green issue with back camera' my device is unlock and rooted , lucky I have squaretrade warranty plus adh' don't wanna deal with Asus, I called squaretrade and honor my problem, they fixed my tf201 in just a week
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
Is their service international? The square trade...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erick0423:
I'm not sure but u can check at their websites or call them. www.squaretrade.com
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tsmt971@yahoo:
I have checked my Camera today and found that it is green. I can't activate the, the from camera or video capturing. When I tried to start the front camera and video capturing the Prime will reboot. It was working fine on HC ROM, ICS .14, .21 and .28 until today. I can't believe it happen to my prime as it is working fine from April.

I checked the logcat during initiating the camera and the log show camera <

D/NvOsDebugPrintf( 111): NvMMCamera timeout: error: 0x0 int 0x400> . Is there anybody can shed a light on this issue? I really don't want to send it to RMA. My baby really likes it for youtube and game.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hollywould:
I called yesterday to ask about getting it fixed. They told me that they could RMA it, but since I'm unlocked my Warranty is void and therefore will be charged for service. I'm very hesitant to send it in since they didn't even give me an estimate on the price.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
did you told thm that you unlock it? some owners just send it rooted and unlock, and they fix it, but seems that when they got their primes back, ASUS LOCK it again, which owners find difficulty to unlock them...

i really don't know what will be my PRIMEs future if i will send it. the only fear is that what if they will RESET it, unlockable shayt. hehehe..

HOPE they give you an estimated price, so that i could also get ready.. goodluck bro..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hollywould:
Unfortunately I did tell them that I unlocked it. Hopefully get an email from them tomorrow with the estimate. Will post what it is if they do. I may just hold on to it and see if the next FW update fixes the problem. I never use the rear camera, so it's really not that big a deal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Its most likely a physical problem with the camera as many of us have had the camera replaced during RMA. Hopefully they will not charge you for a hardware issue!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
Thanks man... hope it's not so pricey.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Peter Galbavy:
Ditto. I use it so little I thought/think it was a consequence of the recent update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GS_Dan:
Does anyone know of a contact email for Asus RMA in the UK? The contact page is broken and the only email I received was a 'do not reply'.

They've had my tablet for 2 weeks, waiting for spare parts and I'd like an ETA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeallen0:
I'm not sure about the UK, but tomorrow the TX location will be getting close to 300 cameras, and atm, we have around 265 on hold.

This message was smashed through a small grate by a slice of lemon wrapped 'round a large gold brick.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tsmt971@yahoo:
For the green camera issue, Will ASUS replace the camera only or entire motherboard when you RMA?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GS_Dan:
Cool, thank you. That's quite a sizeable number of cameras that need replacing!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mtbr442:
I too have the green scrambled camera issue. How can so many cameras go bad all at once? This is nuts!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Mine was just the camera
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
Were u unlock then>?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
No I can't. See my main thread in the general forum for more on that lol. (The petition thread)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
i see, so that's you. hope ASUS will hear your petition, and maybe will be my petition too soon...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dagrim1:
Had contact with Asus and they say I have to send it in to get it repaired, depending on the findings I may have to pay... Considering I have opened it up and unlocked it I think I'll haev to pay.

If I choose not to repair it I still have to be about 75 euros of research fee.

So guess I'lls tick with the green cam for now :/

Anyone with a clue if it's possible to get such a cam module (and replace it) yourself?

Hi there. I'm a new DHD user. I have installed GB with 3.12 and sense 3.0 and want to install MIUI and there is a problem. I have read a lot and I know that I must downgrade my firmware to 1.32 if I want make root. But every methods don't work. When I making downgrade with this Dovngrade v3 tool I always get $ mark what mean I don't get temporary root. I can't get into HBOOT, when I press down vol button and hold with power button phone turn on normaly. Please if you know what I'm doing wrong tell me :)

To start with, turn off fastboot in the power menu then follow all instructions and you shouldn't have a problem. All your answers are in the forum.

I turned it off as first and still cant get into Bootloader/ HBOOT
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwraggcan:
Pull the battery. Then reload the battery and power on while holding volume down.

DON'T DOWNGRADE TO VERSION 1.32...that will mess your phone's bootloader. If you have read the development section of the forum, then you would have seen the Advanced Ace Hack Kit. That is the only working tool for downgrading, rooting and gaining S-OFF in your device. You don't have to do anything but read instructions and follow them....

Now I see your post there...yes u can use it with any version....just read carefully. All the information you need is in the OP (opening thread) and in the manual...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amrit1986:
THE AAHK works. I recently downgraded rooted and installed a custom rom on a friends phone. Make sure to disable the antivirus as that will cause trouble and also make sure you read the manual.

IT DOES WORK!

Anyway kudos to poster & developers

there are a lot of beginners would like to know how to install this into their MT6573 phone...

well...

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

eventhough there is a How to Install in the MTZ file..

confusing..

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Auto Installation using ADB

1. Download & install usb driver from the above link if your phone doesn't comes with it.

2. Copy the extracted ADB folder to c:\ drive.

3. Double click Start.bat & all files will be installed.

4. Follow on-screen for instructions.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
@sevensaints

First, on your android phone, enable usb debugging... Setting -> Applications -> Development -> put a check mark on "USB debugging"

Typically, when you plug-in your android phone, windows will detect it & will prompt you to install the driver...if it doesn't then follow the steps below...

Go to Device Manager -> double click on the MT65xx Android Phone -> Update Driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> Next -> Have Disk -> Browse -> to wherever you have extracted the downloaded google usb driver -> android_winusb.inf -> OK -> Next -> Install -> Close -> Close

Whew, i actually replicate the actual step, by step... :p There is also another auto-installer, Pdanet, you can check it out...

Then double-click SuperOneClick & it will do its job... :victory: Answer yes when ask whether to install busybox

Actually, rooting & installing google sdk usb driver is scattered everywhere on the web & also here at xda...SuperOneClick

@breaky9973

Thanks, breaky9973...It would be great if you could post the model of your MT6573 then others users will benefit from it too... :victory:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] breaky9973:
I have an i-mobile i695 and I got it succesfully restored (with one minor issue).

Your script works for me but it took me a couple of restarts to be fully initialized on my phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
guys, thank you so much for your feedback... ;)

@breaky9973

actually, it works right after reboot, the problem is mediatek's mt6573 is kinda of slow while booting up & yes, what you said is correct, it actually needs around 1 to 2 minutes to fully initialized... :silly:

@sevensaints

when i got my android phone, 1st week got it rooted, 2nd week brick it, 3rd week found russian forum to restore it back... :laugh: i presume most users will root their phone once they got their hands on it... Point taken, i have included DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit with it now... :good:

As mention before, would appreciate if you guys that has this mod working on your phone to reply with the model of your mt6573 so that other users would benefit from it too... :cool:

Thanks...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] para_dox77:
Hello yuweng,

Just want to confirm this mod works on Nexian A899 based on MT6573 stockrom. because of I used Link2SD before, seem like get problem to increased the internal storage and after factory reset, it works! get it free of 1.3 GB :cool:

btw, the start.bat not works under Win7..only works under WinXP. :confused:

Thanks! :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
Thank you so much for your feedback, para_dox77... :laugh:

Actually, best size for sd-ext is 1GB. i've install 200 over games to test & found out that after 1.2 GB of data fill up, after reboot, the launcher screen is not responding, all apps are missing & i have to wait around 3 to 4 minutes then everything show up ! After that, everything is quite responsive. So i guess thats the max. Same as our PC... :D On top of that, you'll save 500MB of space if you format your sd-ext 1GB instead of 1.5GB...

Both ported scripts are develop & tested on Win7 OS, so my best guest is that you didn't turn off the user account control settings...it'll block whatsoever bat/ exe/ setup file that is trying to run... :o

Another lesson learn, so guys please delete whatsoever link2sd, a2sd, d2sd & etc that you have or else this mod will not work... :fingers-crossed:

By the way, this mod should be call data2sd or d2sd...You can refer to this post by croniccorey. You can also try his scripts & see if it works on our mt6573...been super busy with work lately so no time for modding... :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jinxie:
Hey, this is great! but I am having a little issue. I have a "NEOBOX NEO" phone, and since I was stuck with the stock recovery I could add init.d support but no ext2 support so I was using link2sd with a fat32 partition, but I still had problems with storage. I uninstalled links2sd and formatted the partition to ext2, ran the .bat and it worked, now I have plenty of space and no more annoying low space messages. The thing is, whenever my phone sleeps, when I turn the screen on, it hangs for a while, and then it prompts like 3 to 5 times like it has a new sim card. My guess is that it moved the sim app to the sd and when it sleeps it is not actually reading from the card hence the problem. I haven't done any further testing but I am guessing this would also cause trouble with other apps that need to be running in the background like messaging and whatsapp and basically anything that syncs. And if I am right and that is the problem, then the solution would involve having the phone not to sleep and thus drain the battery very fast. Correct me if I am wrong (and I certainly hope I am because otherwise this seems great and the solution to my problem)

EDIT: it does the "sim thing" not only when sleeping but anytime. specially anoying when listening to music. Anyone with the same/similar issue? the card is a 16gb verbatim HC card class 10. never had a problem with it b4.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
Hi jinxie,

I've read alot on generic a2sd mod, data2sd & etc; many users has been reporting problem with class 10... :confused:

My suggestion to you is that you remove all scripts except 01data2ext.sh & monitor from there onward...

This is the best part of ungaze's SD Tweakz, just add or remove any old/ new tweak scripts from your SdCard scriptz folder & you phone will be back to normal or even better/ faster with the correct modded scripts... :good:

The other thing is that i change the read_ahead_kb from the original 03tweakz.sh; from 1024 to 8192... :o You can refer to here for more info... May be it is too high for class 10... :o Use Notepad ++ & change it to a lower value... :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jinxie:
Thanks for the quick reply! I will try that!

So, update: After trying it yesterday all day, very unstable, rebooted like a ziliion times, and then it looked like finally everything was in place and it started to work fine, so I installed a bunch of apps. Like 5 or 6, usual stuff, facebook, twitter, etc., rebooted, and now it bootloops. removed the card and boots fine of course, but no freaking space. What now? heh
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jinxie:
UPDATE:

I decided to do a clean install, and since there is no custom recovery for my device I cant flash zips, I erased all data and flashed the system.img partition again. I also formated both fat32 and ext2 partitions from the sd card. Then I applied your script (prior to that y reduced the read ahead kb you mentioned by half). No luck, same issues. So i deleted all scripts but the data2ext. It runs better, but I still get FCs, it hangs for a few secs, then I lose all connectivity with the "restricted access changed" message, and the new sim detected pops up constantly, so I also get a lot of dropped calls. I also noticed battery drainage, much faster than before, I think it is because of the same connectivity issue since looking for networks does drain a lot of battery.

Apparently, it has to do with data connection, since I have deactivated it and for the past hour I haven't had those problems, but I can't tell for sure, I'll test wifi when I get home.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
Thanks so much for the update, jinxie... :o

AFAICR, some mt6573 has different mtd for system.img...

at adb shell, cat /proc/mtd & see if it is mtd11...

if it is different then i think you have to edit 01data2ext.sh, line 22, 33, 130, 138 to your system.img mtd location...

hope it works out for u... :fingers-crossed:

Added on August 03, 2012

- Earlier original ungaze [mod][mt6573] Data2sd on stock rom Test Version

Attach script is the original script format from ungaze's Data2SD... :fingers-crossed:

Steps

Option 1 - Replace file at SdCard

1) Delete 01data2ext.sh from SdCard scriptz folder

2) Format SdCard ext2 partition

3) Restart & let it settle down

4) Copy this file to your SdCard scriptz folder & restart

Option 2 - Reinstall this mod all over again

1) Format SdCard ext2 partition, factory reset, wipe data

2) Restart & let it settle down

3) Copy this file to & delete 01data2ext.sh -> files -> scriptz folder & run start.bat
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jinxie:
I had a record of my tables but I cant find it, but if the mtd was different shouldn't it not work at all? because it does work, I have the internal memory the size of the partition, but it is unstable and slow.

I installed terminal but it FCs so I am installing ADB because I formatted my pc recently so I will tell you in a few minutes.

Btw it seems the SIM card problem only happens when the data connection is active, maybe it has to do with the network changes from E to 3G and H. I haven't been able to disable fast dormancy. The battery consumption showed almost 50% in Cell standby. But it still hangs, FCs and that kind of weir stuff that makes it really hard to use and a challenge to my patience. Thank you for all your help. Is there any other alternative you would recommend for the low storage issue for us the poor ones with stock recovery? Link2sd worked for a while but then memory got full anyways, dont know why because I had almost every app on the SD. I wish I could use a2sdx...

EDIT: yup system is mtd11 :S

[Miscellaneous Android Development] gp.triple:
hi

without a custom recovery there are some way to make a2sd work?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
Yes, in fact you can ! But it will be quite tedious as you need to manually copy a2sd's files to its appropriate folders, manually set permissions & etc for it to work.... :o And you will also need bgcngm's MTK-Tools to unpack boot.img...You can refer to here for more info...

Why don't you use my universal cwmr Android Kitchen plugins for porting cwmr to ur MT6573 ?

I've created this thread specially for MT6573 users that are happy with their stock ROM but needed larger internal memory...

Originally, most of these data2sd scripts require some kind of modding to the boot.img or system.img while the one here doesn't require any of that... :o

Kudos to the original DEVs for these excellent scripts.... :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gp.triple:
THANKS!!

this night i study everything i try to make a working cwmr for alcatel 991!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gp.triple:
hi friends another question

after runnig your script, whitout flash a2sd from recovery, can my phone support ext partition?

becouse if i try link2sd, it don't work with ext2 partition...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
yes friend, however, you need to delete the whole contain of 01data2ext.sh & add as below to start ext2 module...You can also rename 01data2ext.sh to 01link2sd.sh as not to confuse yourself... :o Prepare your 2nd partition & format it as ext2, primary partition, cluster size 4Kb...

#!/system/bin/sh

[COLOR="Blue"]su[/COLOR]
[COLOR="blue"]insmod /system/lib/modules/ext2.ko[/COLOR]

In fact, i have tested link2sd with ext2 & i can confirm it works on MT6573...From my experience & other users feedback, link2sd is good for normal users that doesn't install much apps...if you are a power user & like to install alot of apps then link2sd will run out of space & you need to redo the whole setup & use other apps2sd/ data2sd scripts later on... :laugh:

Since you are interested in DT_a2sd, i'll try to mod it to run on stock ROM just for you... Theoretically it should work so lets hope it does when i get my hands on it this weekend... :fingers-crossed:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gp.triple:
after 1 or 2 reboot after link2sd installation it start to works with ext partition:victory:

if you really want help me can yo make a custom recovery for me and every alcatel 991d user?

here sacreew post the original 991 rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
with the plugins, its already super simple to port cwmr via Android Kitchen, all you have to do is just copy, paste & press enter...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gp.triple:
HI YUWENG!

i share your mod in some italian forum

another user have the same problem with a2sd

instead the dark tremor port working fine for 4 or 5 people!

thanks again for your work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
you are most welcome... :D

haha, glad to hear this... :laugh: Now, MT6573 users can start enjoying their phone without having to worried about low internal memory issue ever again... ;)

Fyi, the new MT6577 is 'STILL' having this same low internal memory problem 'again', what was mediatek thinking... :rolleyes:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] baditaflorin@gmail.com:
This is working for Alcatel one touch 918 not n.m.d ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yuweng:
i've ask users for feedback & with 600 over downloads, the list is less than 10...

Confirmed working is Alcatel D & N & if yours is the M then i guess you'll have to try it & find it out yourself...

As said in the first post, this mod/ hack make use of a loop hole/ unused script & the best part is that it exist in all MT6573, doesn't matter what brand, screen size, ROM, RAM & etc... :good:

All i can say is that, this mod/ hack it is very safe to use & if you encounter any problem, just remove your sdcard & your phone sure will boot up back normally... :cool:

use any root explorer, delete xlog.sh, format your ext2 partition sdcard & that will remove it...If you want, you can also reboot to Stock 3e recovery wipe data/ factory reset... :o

As mention before, this mod/ hack it is specifically for users that uses Stock ROM & doesn't have any custom ROM...

fyi, for Alcatel 918N, Banjo0917 has made custom ROM for it & it supports data2ext natively... :good: however, most link that i know are down lately so you'll have to hunt for it yourself... :D
