Can anyone posted pic of their phone body after changing the camera module? I just wanna how bad it could be after that camera replacement ?
[One (M7) General] Kay2daCee:
I will do it this weekend, but I guess it really depends on how careful you are and what tools you are using :3
[One (M7) General] Liorcifer:
it's this, the same module

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultra-Pixel...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item43d20e4d63

with this one?

http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-rear-facing-camera.html
[One (M7) General] Kay2daCee:
I did it! Replaced both battery and camera. Here's the album: http://imgur.com/a/n8QxV

The body is completely fine, because I've only used the plastic tools and picks to open it.

One thing: You have to be careful because of the antenna cable! Good luck! If you have any questions feel free to ask.

EDIT: I added copper tape to the OV module
[One (M7) General] Jooosty:
I commend you all for your bravery and efforts.

So basically the module that comes with the stock M7 is prone to heat ?

Look at the images a quarter down the page does it look familiar? i'm going to head into the kitchen and see if i can fix the tint seems to be the image sensor burning up not a board or getting hot around it just the sensor itself well back in a few!

did this mod while it improved it seems like i need the new good module anyone know where i can buy the omnivision one?
[One (M7) General] harryfokker:
Please this is important , i need the link where you buy the Omnivision Camer module, please
[One (M7) General] Kay2daCee:
Hi harryfokker. Here is the link (I think it already got posted though) : http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-rear-facing-camera.html

When I bought it I wrote in the notes that I need the Omnivision module. Do not buy from eBay even if it is cheaper, I'm pretty sure they will send you a different one. Do yourself a favour and pay a bit more for a fully functional camera. Also for the people getting slightly green tint after changing modules, you need the m8 calibration file.
[One (M7) General] electric123:
Where can I find this file and where do you place it?
[One (M7) General] Kay2daCee:
You can get it from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2744757

It worked for me, hope it will work for you =) At least it's not a hardware problem anymore.

Just order camera module and repair set... Let's see what happens.

Here in Finland HTC do not thinks this is within "extended" warranty and I'd like to try this myself and it seems that fighting not helps...

I bought this module: http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-rear-facing-camera.html

And these tools: http://www.amazon.co.uk/FiveSeasonS...+tool+repair+SAMSUNG+GALAXY+S2+I9100+S3+I9300
[One (M7) General] Kay2daCee:
I used these tools: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00DGSDOR4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . They look almost the same as yours. However I recommend using the bottom left blue plastic prying tools and the picks only to open the HTC, or else you will damage the body. Also be very careful at the speakers as they can be bend easily and do not insert any of the tools to deep, because of the antenna cable. If you need help I can have a look at the disassembly via Skype and give you some advice. Just pm me.

Good luck!:good:

My phone repair by HTC was successful. Sent it off on Friday the 2nd and got it back yesterday (13th). The camera issues have been fixed. The phone takes good pictures in low light situations again now. And when I turn the camera on and set the phone on a table the screen is mostly black. No charges by HTC. I'm a happy customer. :)

Don't buy on ebay, bought 2 of them (cameras) none of them working, what is worse phone is sitting for 2 months waiting first than second to come from ebay.
[One (M7) General] PeeHoo:
Just in case... anybody could give me a link to buy back cover (just in case) before I am starting to do this... :o
[One (M7) General] harryfokker:
On the same page etradesuply, you can buy Back Covers; and another spare parts. The only Item which cost more than other sites is the back camera module(omnivision of course) ; Back Covers, Lcds, 3M double sided tape, and mostly other things are in the same prices then Amazon or Ebay, so you can order everything to etradesuply and receive it togueter

Hi... i would like to change my nexus 5 with an htc one, and there is a doubt I have about the purple tint....

does htc solve the problem by repairing it? Or it is just a temporary fix, with another camera module that will have the same problem ?
[One (M7) General] iamisraeli:
this one? http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-one-rear-facing-camera.html

paid 50$ for the camera module?

they asking for additional USD $21.41 for shipping.
[One (M7) General] Kay2daCee:
I think HTC also uses the OV module to fix it. Haven't heard about any problems after the repair.

Yes it's this one. The thing is, you can keep trying to buy from other websites and hope to get lucky, or you buy it straight from etradesupply which is a guaranteed OV module.
[One (M7) General] Kukubski:
If your HTC One M7 is still under warranty HTC should replace the faulty camera module free of charge. At least in the UK they do.
[One (M7) General] rajackar:

[One (M7) General] lebmb:
I was actually just about to post that i spoke to them and they said the part number on the actual camera is the same as in the picture ending in 402 so i ordered it. we shall see. it's around $20 with shipping. I'll post back when I get it. I think normally when I order from China on ebay it takes about 2 weeks.

To be continued...
[One (M7) General] letmeknov:
Good day. I would like to get one camera module to replace my faulty one, but I got few questions before pulling the trigger. After reading this thread it seems that I need an OmniVision module to get rid of purple tint. Thanks to this thread I found some links with OmniVision camera modules for sale, and got quite confused about which module is the best and compatible with my phone. Some shops are stating that their modules support HTC One '801e 802t 802d 802w', some stating '801E/S/N 802t 802d 802w', while the others does not mention any model code at all. Is it true that some OmniVision modules might not work with specific HTC One M7 models? My HTC is 801s.

And one more thing I would like to make clear. Looking at the pictures of these camera modules from different shops the second number below the 13P1BS402 is different. I am sorry, I can't add links yet, because this is my first post here, but some of these numbers are: M1432B1.0, M1408B1.0, Y1425B1.0, Y1344A1.0. If anyone knows what does this number mean, and how it is affecting the module itself?

Any information is highly appreciated!

:)
[One (M7) General] Semseddin:
Those whose camera unit got exchanged by htc service center, does your have any gaps after the replacement or any kind of damage in plastic part in the middle ?
[One (M7) General] deeevan:
[MENTION=2367031]Semseddin[/MENTION] I got a perfect looking phone. Pretty sure they replaced the whole back and sides. Some glue on the speaker grill edges, but that was easy to scrape off
[One (M7) General] Dac0908:
Yes, out of 24 there are just 3 months warranty to go and I just got camera replaced - no more purple tint! I also had at least one dead UltraPixel. Backside includes sides and that white plastic which got pretty yellow, now looks like a new phone! Because there are no scratches on display so it's nice. They also replaced USB board for some reason, don't know why but it says so in the report.

Of course, things cannot be so simple. Got it back with malfunctioning microphone, cannot make calls unless on speakerphone or headset. :mad: And microphone is located where? On USB board which they replaced! https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+Teardown/13494 (step 18). Damn.
[One (M7) General] tsvet:
Sorry if this is not the right thread!

My HTC One has the purple tint, but it has been doing ok picture and videowise in daylight until recently. Since then video became odly scrambled with some coloured patterns, spots, mirrored images etc. I wanted to attach a video for illustration, but I don't have sufficient publications to be able to add it. It is on youtube on this address "youtu.be/IZa48RxNBHY". While you are filming the picture on the screen looks OK. It is the recorded video that is affected.

My question is is this a camera problem or some software/other hardware fail. Would that be caused by the same termal problem that causes the purple tint? Do I need to replace the camera or the fix, dicussed in this thread will fix the video problem too?

Thanks a lot to everyone that has an advise for me!
[One (M7) General] e11world:
I got mine fixed

I GOT MINE FIXED :)

Instead of re-typing everything, I'll post a link to it here. Sorry people but I love XDA too so this is why I'm trying to help my fellow developers/htc owners.

To make it short and sweet, here's the summary.

Call/Email HTC, tell them the issue, be agressive a bit, get a ticket number & make sure FutureTel or HTC will contact you for the next step

Wait a couple of days or so, FutureTel will email you with their ticket number, call them, double check

Back up, format then send your phone

If they say you need to pay, DON'T. HTC needs to do this.

Enjoy your new camera.

Hi, im really sorry if im repeating something that has been told 10000 items in this thread. I saw that you guys were ordering cameras from online stores, can somebody of you that received a working one give me a link to that product so i can get one for me too?

Also i saw that this one was working fine but its out of sale: http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=171166536403
[One (M7) General] bartch:
Only buy the module which has 13P1BS402 on it, its from Omnivision and discussed a lot here in earlier posts on this thread.

You better not buy from ebay, because the images of the numbers on those camera-modules aren't always accurate.

I bought one here in the Netherlands from a store, but had the same purple issue. Now i ordered one from Etradesupply, but because it's Chinese Newyear, all the chinese shops are on holliday for a couple of weeks...

Dynafix, the official repair store in the Netherlands won't sell me a seperate camera module or give me any information at all about which module to get..(because i am unauthorized to repair HTC phones..)

Good luck with finding the right module, i think there are only one or two suppliers with the new type camera module.

grtz

[One (M7) General] iamisraeli:
I agree, don't buy at eBay. I tried 3 different modules from 3 different sellers on eBay, they all come with the same problem. so I just Googled that serial number and found some seller on aliexpress she wants about 25$ include the international shipping with a tracking info and she accepted my PayPal payment as well just PM her.

The link: http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6453807472.html?orderId=65471347376203

Replaced the camera and I can confirm it working wonderful. the size of the module a bit different a little bigger but still fit well even with that metallic cover.

The feeling like I have a completely new phone also replaced the battery and upgraded to lollipop.

Here is 4 pictures as example with the new module.

the pictures were taken at 30 Celsius room temperature (pretty warm because of the air con!)

3 pictures was taken at medium room light (the pictures previously was a bit purple all around!)

and the last picture when I am covering the module with my hand. as you can see it completely black as it suppose to be!
[One (M7) General] NexusS4gFreak:
So all you did was replace the camera? No copper tape?
[One (M7) General] iamisraeli:
With the tape but just as it was originally covered by htc.

Actually you don't need it, but I added it for extra cooling and safety...

The guide over here not fixing your problem! The only way to fix it is by replacing the defective camera module which is extra sensitive to heat.
[One (M7) General] Crake:
Btw, can you please tell me where did you bought the battery?

Mine is almost dead, after the 3'% of charge, it takes only 5 minutes to die...
[One (M7) General] iamisraeli:
Not sure what did you said haha, but bought mine from here:

Works and looks like genuine.
[One (M7) General] ThaSik1:
So I just got off of the phone with HTC and they want to charge me to repair the phone's mainboard since my phone is no longer under warranty. I previously spoke with a representative well before sending it off (about 2.5 weeks ago) and they said that I would be quoted for the repair but that would be waived upon calling. Now they are telling me that they will waive the camera fee but I still have to pay $110 to replace the mainboard since the device is out of warranty. The "Escalation" Dept stated that since HTC moved their repair center, they no longer do "partial repairs" on out of warranty devices. I'm pretty pissed about it honestly because I KNOW they can repair it but don't think there's much I can do since the rep won't budge on the matter. Any suggestions?
[One (M7) General] e11world:
WOW they are really not admitting this issue. I really feel bad for you and I wonder if they told you what is the issue with the main board exactly? If you know there is no issues with it, maybe look and buy the camera part alone and get it done yourself or with some help. It is probably a lot cheaper that way (you loose on the shipping fees you spent sending the phone though). I would say try again with the call and this time escalate to a manager level maybe and get them to replace the camera only if you again think there's nothing wrong with anything else. At least tell them to send you the phone back with the replacement part of the camera.

$110 is not too much but if you're close to the end of your contract, wait for it and maybe put another $40-$140 on top and get the best phone out there for under $250 with another contact. That's how I would do it if the first option didn't work.
[One (M7) General] ThaSik1:
Yeah they wouldn't admit it still but I ended up speaking with a Supervisor over in Escalations and after spoon feeding him the text from a live chat session, he agreed to cover the cost of the repair but they will only do it if it involves replacing the mainboard. So I agreed and I'm now looking to see if there is a S-off exploit for the firmware they are likely to put on the device. I did try to see if they'd just ship back the phone as-is and send the camera module but they refused time and time again. So I just accepted the offer. Gf is highly upset (Won't be getting another HTC for a while) about it taking this long to achieve the agreement but I'm just glad it's getting done at this point. Thank you for your help on this matter and to everyone else who posted info in this thread!
[One (M7) General] e11world:

Hi guys,

Just wanted to chime in here.

Last night I have completed camera replacement according to Alejandro Nemo on you tube (sorry cant post links because im a new member) and have also added copper tape below the camera.

I bought a camera kit on ebay from Vertical Group - Back-Rear-Main-HDR-Camera-Ribbon-Cable-Repair-Replace-TOOLS-for-HTC-One-M7-

phone started up again but still having purple tint issue. my next step is to return the above mentioned kit ,

I have already ordered 13P1BS402 3rd Newest Version from AliExpress to see if this works. I will report with the results when I replace it again..

Thanks!

You're welcome.

I did not even know there also is a dual sim version out there :D

I guess it is the exact same camera module. Why would it be a different camera?
[One (M7) General] cyrusct82:
One question.

The back is glued to the rest of the phone or not? Because some says that is glued some not.
[One (M7) General] jagermeister1:
Mine was not glued. The back cover came off pretty easy by using guitarpicks .4 mm en .5 mm. Just be carefull you don't stick them in too deep. Follow the video tutorial and you will be fine.

[One (M7) General] bartch:
I also bought a 13P1BS402 form aliexpress, but it was not working! My m7 didn't even recognize it, and after booting, there was no sensor file.

Now the seller at aliexpress says that this 13P1BS402 isn't compatible with all M7 versions..can anyone confirm this please?

They offer me now 13P1BS401 or a camera module which looks very similar to my own broken Camera module, but on this one i can't read the model-number printed on the flex-cable. (black text on brown, hard to read)

My old /original camera is (according to the sensor-file): st vd6869

[One (M7) General] bartch:
hi, i recently bought a new camera module from aliexpress for my m7 because of the purple pictures.

I got this model from the shop: (there are 2 codes on the camera)

13p1bs402

m:442b1.0 (or m1442b1.0 not sure if it's a "1" or a ":" )

However, this one didn't work at all! The phone didn't recognize it.

(I have a htc one m7 801N)

So, i ordered one from a different aliexpress shop, which had this numbers:

13p1bs402

y1425b1.0

This ones worked! No purple screen..So, even it says 13p1bs402, it is not a guarantee it will work!

I think maybe your model number (801N etc) has something to do with it..or the camera i received was broken, that could also be the case of course.)

Btw, i have Lollipop with Viperone 8.0

Bart
[One (M7) General] iamisraeli:
U bought from the seller that I've posted here earlier?

If the answer is "yes" it suppose to work fine without any issues.

Check maybe your connector not sitting well try to disconnect it and clean also clear the camera cache before you doing anything.

Which android version you are using?

I am on lollipop, heared you most be at least on Android 4.4.x
[One (M7) General] bartch:
i don 't know which seller you had, but I had a seller on aliexpress and

afterwards I noticed they mentioned it was only for

some specific m7 models. The 801n was not listed, so that could be the reason it didn't work. I tried several times to install it but no luck. Also cleared the camera cache, but that didn't help.

the other module I bought worked instantly. My m7 has lollipop.
[One (M7) General] davidvan:
I bought a nexus 5 battery from them yesterday, and contacted with their customer service, they said their QC team use the Cadex C7400 battery analyzers to check whether battery works fine or not, I'm not sure it's true, but their customer service is very nice and polite. I'm willing to trust them.

and more, i found their website has levels such as A-grade, B-grade stuff, i think their products may be have different quality level.
