getting camera failed error , phone is rooted and on a custom kernel , will samsung replace my camera ?? purchased on 11th july or do i have to unroot it and install stock kernel ?? for them to replace it costfree? i mean its a hardware issue why would they be concerned about kernel change... (-_-)

and also to go back to stock kernel do i have to download and flash the whole firmware or like i flashed the custom kernel i can flash only the stock kernel ?? whole firmware is 1.69 gb.. it will take 12 hours to download :( and it already failed once on 76% :( my net got disconnected and hotfile dont support resume capability ... PLEASE HELP
[Galaxy S 4 General] rl421403:
What do you mean camera is failing. Is camera app not opening.

Which kernel are you on. Adam Kernel from wanam?
[Galaxy S 4 General] BuT_TeR:
whenever i try to open camera all its giving warning camera failed error ...

i tried factory reset clearing cache and all still giving me error ... i am on perseus kernel with stock rom

PS: can i flash back to stock kernel ?? without download the whole firmware??
[Galaxy S 4 General] kannanX10:
my suggestion is that u better flash the entire latest MG1 fw via odin and do a full wipe/reset
[Galaxy S 4 General] rl421403:
Okay. If you have not flashed any custom rom so far and just only custom kernel then going back to stock is simpler.

Flash stock kernel again and you will be officially stock.

But before that I would recommend you to try other kernel like Adam Kernel. I never had any issue with it.

http://wanamlite.com/2013/07/17/adam-kernel-galaxys4-v1-7/

If you have a custom recovery (like CWM) installed, then flash GT-I9500_AdamKernel.V1.7.CWM.zip file. If you do not have custom recovery then you can flash GT-I9500_AdamKernel.V1.7.Odin.tar with odin.

And let us know how to goes and if you still have issue with camera.

BTW was camera working before?

Did you drop it in water or a hard fall? The camera circuit might have broken! If you haven't void your warranty, take it to the service center
[Galaxy S 4 General] rl421403:
OK, he already voided his warranty. Because he rooted and flashed custom kernel. So it trigger hidden binary counter which he cannot reset, as of now.

So he might get lucky if they do not check binary counter and fix his phone. Which is less likely because they always do.

But I don't think this has anything to do with hardware. Coz he has some issues with camera app and might possibility experiencing FC. Not sure though until we hear from him more.

Dear All,

After receiving Free S - View cover (BLACK) from Samsung, 2 weeks back, today I got a call from Samsung asking for verification whether I have received cover or no.

Also she asked which color did I received the cover, and are u satisfied with it or no?

In reply I said I wanted S view cover either in either Orange or Blue, so later she said they will dispatch another cover either in Blue or Orange as per the availability in stock and will receive that in a weeks time.

I don't know how true is this, as I have read in earlier post that few have received headset instead of cover.

Well!!! abhi mere maan mein do!! - do!! laddu... futttaaa.

i tried different kernel same problem .... its not a software issue many people with stock rom and kernel are also having this issue ...

so i need to take my phone to samsung to repair it , if i can unroot my device and revert back to stock kernel then they wont know if i installed custom stuff on my device therefore my warranty will be applicable , downloading the whole firmware is a problem its 1.7 gb it will take atleast 12 hours to download.... last night i started the download but today morning it failed at 90%... :( dont wanna go through that again so is there any way i can only install the kernel without download whole firmware.. ????

Phone is not physically damaged in anyway!!......
[Galaxy S 4 General] Arjav23:
Is there any way by which hidden android files can be viewed on windows 7 pc via mtp or any such thing?
[Galaxy S 4 General] rl421403:
If you believe that then flash stock firmware and try it. If there is same issue with camera then it's definitely faulty hardware.

Also, do you know there is a hidden flash counter in S4 which keep tracks if you flash something unofficial on your phone with odin?

It increases as you flash recovery or kernel or anything with the help of odin. It's a kind of security measure by Samsung to know if a device been flashed. And as of now, there is no method to reset this counted on our S4 I9500. So if you take your phone to service center they will know you flashed you phone. But if you are able to convince them then they will fix it for you.

It happened with my brother. Service center guy told him that they do not fix rooted phones. But then my brother convinced him somehow.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BuT_TeR:
so i have to flash the stock firmware ?? cant only flash the kernel ???

When you have both current binary and system status official, you should get OTA ideally. You should have stock recovery also.

In Galaxy S3 and S4 only glass is not replaced the complete digitizer is replaced. However if you search on youtube u can find a way to replace only the screen and that would cost you around rs2000. but that method is extremely risky and advanced. you need to use a hair dryer to loosen up he glass and then paste the new one on the digitizer itself.
