[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrFhenix:
I am giving a $40 buck bounty who ever cracks this one *** This is a Tread to get all camera firmware update Help and information for our models G900****

* i get the bounty and i take any donation gladly :)

***** i am not responsible for what you understand***** so please read carefully

If you are not capable of following this simple steps and somehow magically EFF you camera just

Full Clean wipe Reflash thru odin or so they say and cross your fingers :)

SO... After i decided to sit and make some time to reverse engineer the camera test.apk

i managed to solve this one..

**PS: for all of you saying that ones you odin upgrade it will update the CAM.fw automaticly then go ahead and skip this thread as i tried personally flashing 4 times thru odin and nothing happened only the phone fw would update not the camera fw/ besides i don't want to delete anything and this is a better faster way

All you need:

*Any Galaxy S5 G900*[m/t/f/h/w8/any] series with kk4.4.x

[not tested on 5.0 you are welcome to try my solution with the well deserve credits to my self]

*Touchwiz only (you can always update your camera and go back to CM)

*no need to be rooted

* you need to make sure you unfreeze or have installed the CameraTest.apk (FactoryCamera_FB.apk)

if you are using any de bloated rom or you have ran any debloaters

** if you don't see the flashing options enabled..... with you CameraTest.apk then replace it with the one i will indicate below.

First and most important step:

* dial on your phone *#34971539#

( you will get the Camera Firmware Standard screen if you don't then read the steps above again.. see what you are missing)

2.Click on the first options see image above ... Phone/Cam FW ver...

3. take a screenshot of the results on the notification and write down your CAM fw information

*** F16QL, C16L and F16QS Are your camera sensor / Module this information is for you to know what FW you need..

*** last 6 digits are your fw release version

Now that you have that information you may proceed..

1. Get the latest CAM fw for your device with that information..

**.Download any Flashable ROM for your Device model (or if rooted get them from your phone)

2. go to \system\cameradata\

search and extract these 2 files: "yoursensor model"_Isp0.xxxxx.bin / "yoursensor model"_Isp1.xxxxx.bin

3. Save them some where else where you can edit them...

4. Rename "yoursensor model"_(Isp0).xxxxx.bin to CamFW_Main.bin

5. Rename "yoursensor model"_(Isp1).xxxxx.bin to CamFW_Companion.bin

6. Save them and put them on your Internal Memory root directory (not your exterternal sd card)

7. Download the ****.Key file that i will send you and place it in the same directory as the fw files.

******

After this you are all set up and ready..

dial on your phone *#34971539# again and you will see all options are no longer greyed out

2. click on Cam/Phone Fw ver and check that the NEW FW is being detected

(compare with your previews info)

EG. i Had CamFw F16QL"GB00SB" and phone version F16QL"HC04GB" * same as Rom release coding

3. just for safety click on both CAM DUMP options

4. Click on Phone to Cam FW write (main) ones done reboot..

5. Go back to the firmware screen and click on " Phone to Cam FW write (7cxl) or your model number

REBOOT... PROFIT!!!!!

Go to check cam/phone FW ver again and see both are the same now :)

****If you say Thanks you can take the link to get the ****.KEY file****** ;)

Upload your FW on this thread just add your Device Model and FW version :)

***Modders i have endlessly searched and nothing is available yet for the G900* series**

Previews Research:

***I have tried the Note 3 **** this is not working***

Factory_CameraFB.apk method and i am not risking it..

you can actually replace the APP and works but it is very different than the one for the G900* it does not include the Front section and stuff but they have done some improvements if you want to get some pointers here is the thread: Note3 Camera Update

**

Other methods only works for S3

With the galaxy S3 you dial *#34971539# and open the Camera Firmware flashing tool

As soon as you had the updated SlimISP.bin(firmware file) file in the root of your internal memory the software would detect it and enable the

Flash Phone to Cam FW option to update..

Firmware locations

on your phone you need root they are located in system/cameradata (TW442) and in some cases system/vendor/firmware

you have various files ending with .BIN and in the name they have Isp and your camera hw Model F16QL

Mi G900T has ( F16QL ) this is the HW type then i have version GB00SB in stalled on the Camera

but the Phone version is HC04GB

WAY TO UPDATED and i wants to be able to flash it
