OP - take it to someone who knows what they're doing. I suggested that thread (which covers every possible thing that could stop Odin from working) this time yesterday, you've clearly shown you're unable/unwilling to even try everything (anything?) in the thread. So until such time as you do (or do as I suggested in the first sentence of this post), your phone stays busted. We can't fix it for you, only you can.

Hi guys, i realy need your help, my phone is dead.

In the beggining i had a problem with power controller: Phone thought that it is constantly charging (For that time i thought that the problem is in micro usb port or in firmware)

I decided to flash it and go to stock via backup made by CWM a year ago.

But during this process the phone made a reboot by itself and after that there was no loading. I could see only name of the device and thats it.

No recovery. Only download mode.

I gave my phone to service center, they told that I have two problems: 1st is connected to power controller, 2 - dead flash memory. They say that port usb is ok (tried different board with micro usb port). They try flash it via Riff box Jtag but process stopped at data.img.

I took the phone and tried to flash it via Heimdall with brick fix pit.

After using this pit file, the phone was flashed normally and even turned on normally.

But in the phone info menu I saw no any data about internal memory. (It was damaged and required format). I tried format through phone menu and it did nothing.

I decided to flash the phone via Odin with normal 16 GB pit file and had a bad luck. I experienced freez during re-partition. After this, phone is a complete brick.

When I connect it to PC without battery pressing vol down and rower buttons it connects as unknown device but there is nothing on the phone display. No recovery, no download mode. Nothing - just reflection of my frustrated face).

Currently i'm tring to make a Jig, maybe it'll put it in the download mode, but hope is dying...

I've herad somewhere that it is possible to put it in the download mode in linux. Any other suggestions?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guigui96:
Sometime ago after purchasing a new W100 (THL),

I started having the "can't connect to the camera" message.

It has been debated widely over the different forums, and was always associated to ROM, software, permissions issues and such.

First, I'd like to say that this phone is fantastic value for money.

The other day, after trying numerous roms, and permission fixes, and with no luck,

I was playing with the charger cable (while connected), while the camera app was working.

I noticed that fidgeting around with the cable had influence on the app, freezing it at times, making the camera input flicker etc.

I knew right then, this was a connector issue, hardware, rather then something else.

I immediately decided to abandon the "warranty" procedure and take it apart to find the problem.

There is a little rectangular sponge which was right above the connector, but apparently was not pressing it enough,

so I attached 3-4 little squares of thin cardboard (really thin), in the same size of the sponge.

Re-assembled the phone, and voila!, works like a charm ever since!

I will post some photos later, if someone wishes, but the phone has been working for some time now, with no problems what so ever.

So that's it,

the mysterious "can't connect" issue, SOLVED,

at least for me, and to another phone I had ordered which had the same problem (also THL w100).

Gideon.

I had a similar problem with my thl w200. I google and tried numerous ways to solve the problem.

But none work. I experienced the same thing like you when I put on the charging cable.

I believe we had similar problem... It would be nice if you can post some pics on how to fix the connector.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Gideon,

Brilliant. Thanks for the pics.

How did you figure that its loose connector?

if I open up my phone, I would guess it's some motherboard issue.

Thanks a lot. I am looking forward to fixing my camera
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guigui96:
Thanks.

Well, the first time I took it apart, I just took the connector out, and firmly in again,

but that didn't "fly" fully, still did problems related to touch/pressure (on the area), so I just decided to thicken that place a bit.

Just be careful with the entire procedure, it's not difficult (far from it), but still,

would be a shame to fook something else :)

Hello, I'm Italian, sorry for my English is not good.

I have thl w100 and I have the same problem of the camera. My rom is 130912.

I change rom (also cusotm rom), wipe & reset.... nothing I still have the problem.

I tried your solution with the paper under the frame but nothing: "can't connect to the camera"

I have observed the operation of the camera and I have an idea

I have observed that works depending on the battery

I recharged the phone twice using a power bank and the camera is back to work for several days.

Then the last charge came only 99% and returned error.

The error disappears if you restart the phone and the screen does not open before 5/10 minutes.

Then once you open the camera and it works.

Has anyone observed the same things?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capcorn88:
Hi Paolorata,

Your English is all right. I understand what you wrote.

I don't think it has anything to do with the battery.

My camera did work even when it is not fully charged.

Maybe when you charge your battery, your charging cable tweak the connector and the camera works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capcorn88:
I thought I shared my experience in fixing my THL W200.

In the first picture, I removed all the screws and start plying open the casing.

It's tough to ply open the casing. A combination of flat head screw driver and finger nail.

The plastic edges were damaged in the process by the screw driver.

In the second picture, you will see my camera connector.

In the third picture, I cut a small slab from those 3M stick-on-wall sticker and paste it on my casing.

It's quite thick. I mount my casing back. I tested the camera with the casing half mounted.

I wanted to make sure it worked before I mount the casing fully back.

The removing of the casing was quite troublesome.

You also see the power and volume button in the picture.

My observation so far.

The casing is slightly arched like what Gideon has mentioned. The camera works without failure.

But when I put back my sim card, my camera works on and off. Most of the time it works.

I believe it's because the contact point of the sim card is on the motherboard while the end of sim card is on the plastic casing.

This possibly creates a small gap between my sticker and the camera connector.

Possible solution.

Cut my sim card or cut the plastic casing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paolorata:
Thanks for answers.

I tried to move the usb connection: the first time it work :) , the second is not. :(

The only method by which I can run the camera:

1) restart the phone,

2) wait at least 10 minutes without touching it

3) then open the camera.

9 times out of 10 it works.It is also confirmed by some androidiani.it users.

can you try it and let me know?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guigui96:
If by playing around with the USB connection it works, then I would presume you have the same problem as me...,

and the connector is is troublesome.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octavia:
My problem with the camera is partially solved but it's not a hardware solution (I think). I flashed ThL.W200.130817.JBV2.HD.EN.RU.COM.8P64_MT6589T(zound v.1.5), which gives me the option to Hot Boot, every time I restart my phone with this method, the camara works fine. If I start or restart the phone normally, the camera does not work. Occasionally I have to hot boot the phone but that does it since I don't have the know-how (or tools) to modify my phone.

EDIT:

NEVERMIND, that didn't work after a while. I tried your way and it worked perfectly. Thank you!!!!!

UPDATE: After working for a couple of weeks, the camera stopped working for good. I tried different degrees of preassure on the camera but no luck at all. It's a shame because it's a good phone otherwise.

After it was re-assembled, with sillver tape taped to the plastic to make pressure on the cable, it didnt work, i tried again making pressure but it didnt work anyway, i guess my connector is totally screwed up =(

Hi
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgObaBa:
Hello Gideon,

I did the steps that you suggested here, and at the beginning the camera worked for a while, but to the end of the day it gave the same error. So the next day I put some more paper, because I thought that the paper did not push enough the connector. Same: worked for a while then stopped. Also, it started to give me a green screen once, then the error again.

I also read the "charging cable" idea, I tried to find out whether the cable causes the camera problem or not, but I could not figure it out.

For some days the camera does not work at all.

Do you have some idea what I could do wrong or what I shoud do differently to make it work?

Thank you for your reply in advance.

Cheers,

Ágota
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitalium:
I have the same problem with the camera. I thought that it has to do something with the ROM because I have MIUI on my THL W200.

It also gives the error most of the time. Sometimes even after few restarts it still does not work. Sometimes it gives the green image only and it is possible to take photos blindly, which is not very helpful. I will try the methods described in this post tonight and post my experience soon.

Good luck everybody!

Reason of problem "can't connect to camera"

Dear friends, i wanna share my experience which this camera problem of the THL W100 / W100S .

I have some electronic experience :) and i wanted to figure out what is the real probem of this issue.

Fortunately i had 2 THL W100 cellphones so i could exchange the parts from one to the other.

Summarized the reason of the message "can't connect to camera" is bad solder connection of the FRONT camera.

The manufacturer had used to less solder paste so the contacts of the SMT connector is not properly mould with tin.

After resoldering the contacts under the microscope the camera works well, regardless which firmware is loaded.

Please be careful when soldering and take care to do this with ESD protection. I hope to help you with this hint.

how can I make it?

please!!

Can you spell out how can we make the resoldering?

I'm sure everyones will be so so gratefull with you if you make a little tutorial about this method.

I have no electronic experience, and when I opened my cell, I dont watch the connectios which are shown in your picture. :crying: I only see a black connection plate.

I have put on the connections the pillows twice, and the mistakes appears another time, after some days.

I hope your explain, pleaseeee

Resoldering instructions

Dear friend,

if you have no electronic equipment for resoldering SMT parts inclusive ESD protection i highly recommend NOT to resolder the connection points. Otherways you damage other parts too. Note that the space between each pin is only 0.1mm .

The connectors of the camera can only be seen if the middle case is removed incl. the 10 screws.

Hi friend, I have tried to do this by booting into factory mode. If you disconnect the non working camera and than make first time test of the working than you could skip the error message in normal operating mode. Please note that Android store the last state of the connected peripheral devices so it is necessary to make a factory reset before detecting the new environment.

Hello, my thl w100 has been sent to China for warranty service. After 3 months !!! i got it back and it seemed a bit better- from time to mite the camera worked. And looked like it has nothing to do with the hardware. I could play around with the charger plug or press the camera area- no impact at all. Started looking for different rom but finally i said to myself: lots of ppl have the issue even after changing roms so it will not resolve my issue. I also didnt plan to send it again to China so decided to open it and do the trick as described here.
