Hi...I didn't make a NANdroid backup of the stock ROM. In hind sight I probably should have.

Try ruu to go back to stock and see if that makes a difference.... If in stock it doesn't work then you might have a hardware defect
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saragn:
It's a hardware fault. I have a 3rd party app that is not a camera app BUT allows you to upload pics into the app via a camera function. When you hit the button to take a pic it connects to the camera but the picture is just stripes and purple haze. It's heat damage, I think.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
There is no way you can be sure of that, if you don't return to stock. It doesn't seem you've done any troubleshooting to confirm its not software or firmware. In particular, the firmware is the bridge between software and hardware, and can be fooling you into thinking its a hardware issue. And the fact the problem arose after flashing ROMs (and going from old ROMs to recent ROMs) is highly suspicious, and almost certainly means you firmware is outdated.

What is your hboot number?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saragn:
Hi,

HBOOT number is: HBOOT-3.19.0.0000

Ok so maybe I should have mentioned why I thought its a hardware failure issue. When I unlocked the bootloader and installed the SkyDragon ROM the camera was fine, there was no issue with it whatsoever. That was for about a month. Then as time went on the camera app would cause the phone to seriously slow down when I tried using the camera. It would hang for up to two minutes, you would not be able to switch the phone off or do anything. When it did that you had to leave it to let it get over what ever was going on and then a restart would get the phone back to normal.

Then, after weeks and weeks of that, the camera eventually just died and would not start at all and that's where I am now with it. The next problem I have is that I do not know how to return to stock, I made no "NANDroid" backup of it before I installed the SkyDragon ROM. I didn't see anything on any of the forum "how-to" documents speak about doing a NANDroid backup, had I seen it I'd have done it.

So in short, I have done "some" troubleshooting, maybe just not to the level that you are comfortable with. So do you understand now why I think it's a hardware fault?

Thanks for the replies.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Do you understand why I might be skeptical of that? See from your first post:

It seems your story is changing. Or at the least, you didn't give the full story to begin with, which makes it hard for us to help.

I'd still recommend returning to full stock. It certainly doesn't hurt, and helps to eliminate the possibility that its a software issue. You've now probably spent more time giving excuses to not return to stock; than it would have actually taken to do so.

Either find your stock nandroid for your CID from the collection here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

Or run the RUU if there is one for your CID.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saragn:
Well, yes, of course the story is changing because what I have experienced with the phone since posting this has made me think otherwise. It's been some time since the first post. At first I thought it was software but then the cues I got from the device seemed more hardware related. Being human my mind is allowed to change. My follow up posts have clearly explained everything.

I never discounted the idea of returning to stock, neither did I make excuses for not wanting to I don't think. You have a very funny way of helping someone mate, either way I do appreciate it, maybe not your tone, but that's irrelevant. Thank you for responding and helping out I do appreciate it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazzacbr:
[MENTION=6526264]Saragn[/MENTION]: a custom rom is just that. its been modified, hacked, changed, upgraded. it was built on the devs own phone which means it works perfect (unles he says why it doesnt) on that exact model.

even if you have that model its possible that there are minor differences that cause that rom to not work perfect on yours.

as [MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION] says, the only way really now is to go back completely to stock and try it again.

if it works then you will just have to try different roms until you find one that works for you.

if it doesnt, its almost certianly hardware and you need to return it. which will require it to be stock anyway.

this is a good time to learn how to take a nandroid backup so you can easily swap back again to try something else.

p.s. check out [MENTION=660462]redpoint73[/MENTION] thanks count. at least 3834 people on here appreciate what hes doing to help here and are obviously not bothered about his 'tone'

I've looked for an RUU exe or zip that works. The RUU packages for this specific version (4.16.401.10) all come out corrupt. I've downloaded various versions from all over this forum, other forums, I think I've downloaded over 10GB in total, 7 or 8 different downloads and they all come out corrupt and so the RUU process doesn't work. I'm not sure where else to get an actual RUU file that works and that isn't corrupt.

Any ideas? Not sure what to do next. Thanks guys.

PS...Never mind about the tone, its how I read it....doesn't matter!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saragn:
ALSO....I've checked this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735235 and it doesn't seem to work. I can't get the device to be S-OFF as the thread suggests and it also doesn't show up as LOCKED....it still shows UNLOCKED. So I'm a bit lost now.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazzacbr:
hi, the thread you are quoting there is for going completely back to stock for selling or rtm for repair.

you dont need to go that far.

S-ON/OFF is the security lock, you dont need to bother with that for what you are doing.

LOCKED/UNLOCKED is for the bootloader. you unlocked it to flash a custom rom now you have to relock it to go back to stock.

you will need to relock the bootloader for this if you are still S-ON but this can be done easily through fastboot usb on the phone and 'fastboot oem lock' from a command prompt.

if you have the right stock zip file for your phone you can flash it back to stock anyway by renaming it to 0P6BIMG.zip, copying it to the sd card and booting to hboot.

hboot it will check the file then ask if you want to install it.

note that you can open and view the zip file but cannot safely extract anything from it. it is probably not corrupt.

check the MD5 if you want to be really sure.

an ruu.exe can be done from windows but there are not many of those around.

(anyone else reading here please correct me if i am wrong)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saragn:
Hi...Thanks for the response.

Ok so I've done all of that, oem lock...I have confirmed on multiple ROM's that I cannot open the zip file. When you try open it simply to view the contents windows says it cannot open the file as it is corrupt. I'm fairly certain I know how a zip file works and how to tell when the archive is corrupt. I tried each file on more than one computer and they all say the same thing so the file locations, mostly listed on threads on this forum, all result in faulty downloads. I have a big pipe at the office so can download anything fairly quickly. So I don't know where to find a zip file that works....I have done the whole renaming to 0P6BIMG.zip but the file does not work, none of them do...I've tried several downloads from several different locations and they are all corrupt.

Really, it can't be that much of a challenge to get back to stock. I don't know why the oem lock doesn't work but they device stays unlocked...the bootloader screen confirms this.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazzacbr:
Hi,

not sure why the bootloader will not relock.

only other alternative is to pay $25 for sunshine and get S-OFF then you can install the rom without relocking the bootloader.

maybe if you mention the exact names of the stock roms you have tried, i assume they were from the xda rom collection, in that thread and check if someone has already used one of them.

did get the MD5 and check that out?

there is only one rom for mine (dual sim) which i downloaded before and that works perfectly, but as i said, i can actually open the zip file but just not extract it.

Sorry if this question was asked before but i wanna know if there is a methot to root sony Xperia z ultra 5.0 lollipop,model C6833 with firmware 14.5.A.0.242. If anyone knows a good way to root it please post it here. TThanks in advace!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BragaisG:
I'm afraid that we don't have "one click root" right now.

You would have to downgrade back to 4.4.4 (with root and custom recovery) and flash a pre-rooted 5.0

This guide worked for me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] timoftetudor:
Thanks but the thing is that i am allready in 5.0 and i don't have a rooted device....so...how can i di that downgrade in order to root it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BragaisG:
There is a section there when you are already on 5.0.

I too was already on 5.0 and no root but following this guide, I now have a rooted 5.0.1.

Basically, the steps are:

1) Unlock bootloader

2) Download 4.4.4 FTF and use Flash Tool to downgrade your phone

3) Root and install custom recovery on your downgraded phone (you should already be on 4.4.4 by this time)

4) Download 5.0.1 FTF and create a pre-rooted flashable 5.0 using prefCreator

5) Flash your pre-rooted 5.0

Read the guide, you can never get lost. :o

My suggestion if you cannot get into recovery is maybe try reflashing the twrp recovery image using fastboot. To do that power off the phone then press the volume down key and power button simultaneously for a few seconds until the boot menu pops up.

Then, plug it into a computer with adb/fastboot on it and navigate in command prompt to the folder containing adb/fastboot and the recovery image then type:
