That's the thing. It will never show zdfi02 for him. All the drivers are loaded in every firmware (except those ota leaks we were getting for a little while, even those might have had it but there was no updated drivers so no one noticed) and phone recognizes what camera module it is and will only recommend equivalent.

I'm on 4.1.2.

Dialing *#34971539# doesn't take me to camera firmware update menu.
[Galaxy S III General] searius:
Guys i have those drivers

Cam FW Ver: ZDFE02

Phone FW Ver: ZDFF03

What should i change here guys?
[Galaxy S III General] tisazalay:
I had the same configuration, I downloaded ZDFF03 and followed the steps described in the OP and everything worked.

ONE BIG WARNING THOUGH, since I asked it and was answered otherwise,

Before you apply you can check FW Write Count, mine showed Rear (0:0) Front (0:0), after this, mine shows Rear (0:1) Front (0:0).

So sadly the counter did get changed, I wish there was a way to revert that but I don't know how. Just take it into account. The camera is working fine. I think it would be nice if the OP included the warning that the flash counter will be increased.

EDIT: I just found how to get it back to 0:0

The easiest method is to go to Settings - Application Manager - choose tab "All" - and find the FactoryTest.apk and just do a clear data.

So that would be a final step recommended for paranoid people like me. Now everything is perfect :)
[Galaxy S III General] Idan73:
That counter has no bearing on warranty. But glad your paranoid mind is at ease.

Poor camera Quality

Did anyone notice the camera shots deteriorated in quality after flashing the leaked 4.1.2 rom? No more "night mode" but replaced with "Low Light" mode instead.. i tried it and the picture was grainy and some part looks blurred out.. Night Mode never was grainy and picture was sharp. I updated my camera firmware with the one in the leaked rom. Should i flash back the older cam fw ? GDFF03 i think.. Advice please :)
[Galaxy S III General] STELIOSFAN:
I have the same configuration but, although i unzipped the bin in my pc, then transferred the file to the phone and placed it via root explorer to the upper level of the internal memory, the option Phone to CAM FW Write (rear) is grayed out..... :(

any thoughts ? help?

EDIT: no prob, i've found the solution :)
[Galaxy S III General] stfudude:
I have the same issue. Don't know what could be the cause. My phone config is listed in my signature.
[Galaxy S III General] STELIOSFAN:
maybe you deleted factorytest.apk by mistake.........
[Galaxy S III General] stfudude:
So that's the function of that app! I always freeze that app along with other apps that I think useless. Thanks for telling me this! :good:

EDIT: I found out that I must defrost FactoryMode.apk as well. I will immediately freeze both apps after finishing with this upgrade because I'm not happy with the way it's sucking my RAM all the time without doing anything.

EDIT2: after reading OP one more time, I now know that I shouldn't mess with this if "Cam FW ver" and "Phone FW ver" are equal. Shame this important info doesn't present in the OP. But never mind that because I didn't do it yet (almost going to actually).
[Galaxy S III General] PIRATA!:
Ok read this:

I'd like to change CSC on 4.1.2 leak (that means that I will wipe)

We know that 4.1.2 leak must go onto another stock rom.

I was so thinking to flash DLJ5 before 4.1.2 leak as a base for it.

What will I have with DLJ5? GD or ZD???

;)
[Galaxy S III General] Idan73:
I tried to explain concise bit in case you still confused you actually have best and detailed answer by @mopral that you just quoted btw.

Not sure why you even have any questions regarding this.

Csc has got nothing to do with any of this so please don't even mention this in relation to camera firmwares and modules.

Testing JKay alpha on GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] PIRATA!:
I made a big quote so to have all together as a manual for fixing this!

About csc, I was only saying that as I'll change it, I will for sure wipe...so I will lost all my apps and for this I am not forced in remaining with my rom installed before installing the leaked.... this means that I can install any rom before leaked, and so I was asking here if there was a rom that had correct camera drivers or if the internal drivers could change in installing some particular stock rom.

That's it.
[Galaxy S III General] Idan73:
Wiping rom will not do anything to your camera drivers. If the rom contains newer drivers it may auto Update itself, but if the rom does not have them or they are older, it will not downgrade.

Although manual downgrading stays as possibility.

If the phone auto updates it will always choose correct set of drivers for itself. We can always screw it up manually forcing wrong set if we chose.

Guys where did you get these drivers? Are these official ones?
[Galaxy S III General] PIRATA!:
Ok I've updated to last DarkyROM v7.0 and I have found this:

Cam FW Ver: GDFD06

Phone FW Ver: GDFI02

...so I think I might be ok, right??

Now I'll try Siyah kernel...even if I'll put last v1.8 release that should have been fixed the issue by it self.
[Galaxy S III General] Mopral:
You still need to update your camera firmware...
[Galaxy S III General] PIRATA!:
Oh....right!

Hahaha!!!
[Galaxy S III General] The S3 Kid:
This is what I have.

Cam FW Ver : ZDFF02

Phone FW Ver : ZDFI02

Do I need to update?
[Galaxy S III General] Mopral:
You have an update available.

Your choice to do it or not...
[Galaxy S III General] The S3 Kid:
Is there any proof that it makes a difference?
[Galaxy S III General] jody2k:
No and it wont improve your cam quality
[Galaxy S III General] Mopral:
I did not make test yet...

You can still try it and if you can't find improvment, then you flash back to previous driver
[Galaxy S III General] The S3 Kid:
Ok. :)
[Galaxy S III General] tisazalay:
For me it did as expected. It fixed the video recording without needing to apply the fix for a different kernel. ... so I like it for that. Allowed everything cam related to work properly. ...
[Galaxy S III General] Crest+:
HEY GUYS!!!!!!

Why is it not updated automatically? Even using Kies?

Where did you get these firmwares anyway?

Can anyone answer this?
[Galaxy S III General] hefonthefjords:
The firmware is not public release till next month.

It was posted here for manual flashing at owners individual risk.

Learn to use the search function.

We are long past the point where camera driver changes are going to bring marked improvements in image quality. I think the only way you will improve or adversely affect your image quality via the driver now is if you end up with the wrong version for your sensor.

A general warning to updating to the latest driver:

In my case, it broke AOSP camera. Paranoid, CM10 gave the infamous error 'Can't connect to camera' and stopped working.

I'm on my way to reverting to ZDFE02. Will report back.

Edit: Yes that was the issue.

Updating to 4.1.2 driver will break AOSP camera.

How to flash this cam fw? Was it thru CWM?
[Galaxy S III General] Idan73:
No!

Instructions in first post. I suggest reading several times till you are comfortable if this is your first time flashing cam driver. Basically if you screw this your camera can be gone for good. Most important never interrupt flash.

OK! [HOW TO] DUMP FW CAMERA TO PHONE SGSIII

1. Downloading any fw of your vendor from first post.

2. Place it in the root of the /sdcard/SlimISP.bin. If you don't has folder /data/cfw make it. Permission/owners for this:

rwxrwxr-x system:system

3. Start the service utility for a check the camera: Important! that all the menu items are active.

4. Choosing Cam to Phone FW Dump (Rear)

5. After the messages are completed, you can take a dump on the path /data/cfw/SlimISP_ "vendor".bin

6. For restore put it /data/cfw/SlimISP_ "vendor".bin and rename /sdcard/SlimISP.bin

After 3 days of testing, I can vouch that note2 GKFI03 is fully compatible with sgs3 GDFI02, so basically a GD range.

Tested extensively everything I could think of, never crashed and all is working well.

In fact I think it's starting camera app a little faster. On my sgs3 firmware, the camera app, when started from lockscreen would show skewed and stretched lockscreen, most noticeable on clock, before starting camera. Now, with note2 firmware, it just fades to black and camera starts.
