[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chamelleon:
It must be something related with DRM keys. I had same problem when I restored backup from my Z3c on my gf's phone. Everything was fine except camera. It seems You can't restore data partition from one phone to another. I only deduced that it's something on data partition cause after restoring system and other partitions camera is working, only when You restore data it fails. Never solved this issue, only wipe data is fixing this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jijishthomas:
i am facing this issue in my Z5C., pls help!!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisabore:
Well, it sounds in this case that wiping deletes (among other things) the content of the TA partition. If that's the case (someone would need to confirm, I wouldn't expect it to but I might be wrong), then you could simply wipe that partition after you restore your backup to restore your settings and not mess up your camera functionality.

The DRM keys that enable advance proprietary processing of the camera are linked to a given device (to a mainboard, to be more specific, I'd wager). They are stored in the TA partition. So while you can restore the DRM keys onto the same device, you can't restore them on another device.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Depressed T.Bear:
I had that problem a while ago on my Z3C (and also years ago on my SG S3). It's a software problem in 99% of the cases.

You can try:

- test your camera with apps like "Phone check"

- clean all data of camera app

- different camera mods

- "fixing apps" like Camera Restarter or

- restore your TA partition

- factory reset the phone (from inside the rom), then wipe everything within TWRP and reflash a "clean" stock ftf with flashtool

As always: Backup everything before making anything (TWRP Backup, Titanium, internal + external SD etc)!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisabore:
If the phone fell, there's a good likelihood that the problem is a hardware problem.

The phone is really quite fragile inside. My phone really only fell once, on the top left corner, and only a while later (a couple months) did the camera just stop working, from one day to the next.

The component that fell off the motherboard/mainflex is tiny, it's not that surprising it broke at the end of the day.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infy_AsiX:
I found stock MM with the DRM fix included in kernel with EliteKernel, could be TWRP Nandroid restored across devices without the camera stuck black. I posted about it awhile back here https://xdaforums.com/z3/help/nandroid-restore-z3-t3043999/post68645956

Since moving onto AOSP N with no DRM fix, restoring to another device has the camera black again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infy_AsiX:
So it is DRM related after all. On stock ROMS using libdrmfix.so works. On AOSP deleting /data/credmgr files afterwards works. I just figured this out, more info here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74655027&postcount=1798

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burakzeytinci:
I have the same problem. First i thought it just pop out from its connector and opened phone but everything was OK. And read this thread and now i see there is nothing we can do, need to buy another phone(NOT SONY, NOT AGAIN, 3.5MM JACK PROBLEM, CAMERA PROBLEM, NO UPDATES ETC.)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcogiannetta:
Sony is the best and the fastest (after Google obviously) to update devices for 2 years. Z3 line had a perfect support, we didn't receive Nougat because of Qualcomm not supporting Vulcan APIs on 801 platform and because Nougat has been released in August 2016 ( 1 year and 11 months after Z3 launch).

Then hardware issues are not a universal thing, I bought my z3c 3 years ago and never had any problem.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allofmex:
Another success message: After fixing the 4-pin chip as shown by @Fukel, the rear camera is working again :)

In my case, the chip was still present, but clearly not correctly connected on one side. After 2 tries of soldering, all fine again (with original chip, no bridging needed).

Fixing definitely requires soldering flux, desoldering braid, lupe and bit of soldering experience. It is very very small piece 😬
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbenco:
Hello everyone,

2 days ago i tried rooting my friends phone using kingo root.

I know its a one-click root app and easy but it didnt work.

It got stuck at 40%, its when it powers on the phone to download mode.

unplugged the phone and removed battery, the phone booted normaly and everything on the phone was still intact and opperating normaly. ( glad it didnt write anything to the phone yet. )

So i adviced my friend there is an alternative way to do it (sorta) manualy and flash it with odin. I did it before on my own phone and of some friends but theres a higher chance of human errors. He agreed so we proceeded and i found a neat guide that walks us past this proces.

The guide can be found on ( cant post links yet):

galaxynote3root dot com / galaxy-note-3-root / how-to-root-galaxy-note-3

Or found searching for this google: "galaxy note 3 root"

So i got all the necesary things, got the right files for the right model (sm-n9005) running on android 5.0 and started the proces.

Now in odin it didnt succeed and i dont really remember the exact message but it emidiately failed when it started to use the download mode. (i can use download mode but it stops when it starts sending)

at this point i

couldnt

use the recovery mode (volume up + home button + power button) but

could

use the download mode (volume down + home button + power button). it also didnt boot and gave an error that i needed to repair my firmware.

Now i knew i had to fix it and i read that i can go back to the official firmware from samsung using odin also.

So i head over to ( sammobile dot com ) and got the right firmware (Netherlands, Vodafone).

After getting the right firmware i started it and it failed again at the start of the download mode.

Odin gave an error about the EXT4 partitions. after some research i found out i needed to get a .PIT file that repartitions it for you while flashing. So i tried the PIT file for the SM-N9005 32GB, it didnt work... again an error.... :(

I wasnt sure if its 32GB so i tried the 16GB PIT file also. this one gave another error.

So the errors were something like this :

16GB Error: whrong size

32GB Error: EXT4 102400 < 408600

My excuse for not the exact error, ill look it up later.

Thanks in advance for reading about my problem!

I really hope somebody knows whats whrong and how to fix it if it can be fixed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!:fingers-crossed:

[Elephone P8000] TheOnlyCoon:
Hey guys!

I'm new here, but i've read alot on xda since the past few years. I have a Problem with my Elephone P8000 that's driving me nuts.

I wanted to install the Nexus ROM on it, but it already fails at the intallation of the drivers. I'm working with Computers everyday, but I really can't get a solution on this.

My computer (Win7 Pro 64bit) doesn't recognize the phone. I just hear a "connected" sound and then a "disconnected" Sound. The only drivers my PC installs are the Android MTP Drivers, but as I understood, I need the MT67xx Drivers which I can get from the SP_Drivers_V2.0 but it won't work. Including these problems, my computer is now in Build 7601, which I can fix, but maybe that helps.

I'd really like to use this ROM, because of the few bugs in the stock ROM of the P8000.

I hope you can help me. :)

Best,

TheOnlyCoon

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Easiest way to get root would be to flash TWRP in Odin, then flash supersu.zip from TWRP.

CWM is outdated in comparison to TWRP.

Here is the link for tar version of TWRP 2.8.70 for the ATT s3 (d2lte): https://dl.twrp.me/d2att/

I prefer Odin 3.07 for flashing: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA&bvm=bv.111677986,d.dmo

Supersu.zip: http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

Place supersu on the phone's internal memory or micro SD card.

How to get root:

place SD card into the phone if you did not save supersu the phone's internal memory;

open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time;

connect phone in download mode to computer;

place twrp in PDA slot and flash;

when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, use button combination to boot into recovery;

flash supersu.zip from TWRP;

reboot and allow supersu to disable knox and update binaries if required.

Hey, Thanks for this info, I have been trying to get twrp on an ATT S3 as well and having problems. The steps above have been a huge help.

Everything seems to be working fine until Odin looks for the pit file. It appears there is not one available to it. The couple that I have found in the forums are dead links now. Does anyone happen to have a pit file for a 16Gb S3 AT&T Model?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
There is no need to flash a PIT file with TWRP unless there is something wrong that requires a re-partition.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Lockuff:

Are you flashing TWRP in the PDA slot?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Lockuff:
Yeah, I downloaded the latest twrp, add it to the pda slot and hit start and it asks for a pit file.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Maybe try using Win7 in vmware to flash? If that doesn't, try and get access to a PC for a few minutes.

Forget my carrier. I'm from Cuba. No longer AT&T or Verizon or Sprint. I wan't to create a hotspot to connect to other devices. I have stock ROM and the phone don't allow me to create a hotspot with my actual carrier, it says invalid sim, because isn't AT&T. I can create a hotspot only if I took off the SIM CARD.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ComiKo:
I read a little and I'll try to install Xposed (apk) and Moto Tether (apk). Some Samsung users resolved the problem with this two apk.

I can tell you that the camera is good in the daylight but very poor for low light?

Oh yeah... The macro is terrible(read no macro) since the 05112015 update till today. Except from that the phone is very very very good. Especially if you have Eragon custom rom! But if the camera is no. 1 thing for you buy m2 or wowney...

Pretty much this.

Camera takes pretty OK pictures in good light, terrible pictures in low light and doesn't macro well.

Camera is decent for a China mobile phone.

Sometimes the edges are a bit blurry but it's okay.

And in my opinion low light pictures are decent as well.

I mean it's the same sensor as the one inside the Galaxy S4 but the software is not well adapted to the sensor with our P8000.

I have no issues with Macros at all. Not with the "workaround" and not without. :good:

[Xposed Framework Development] traco1:
I am finding that of all the modules I have tried most settings do nothing to change the phone. I have tried Gravitybox, XBlaster even Wanam & Lp.

Wanam seems to work the best . I managed to get the header panel & the pull down settings menu to change to ...well....... some what of what I want it to look like. I also managed to get the clock up to the left of the status bar, but thats all.

Lp themer allowed me to change the top panel color. (which is what I wanted). It's a small but works.

Gravitybox let me put a nav bar in . That's all.

Xblaster let me color settings icons , That's all.

I don't know but maybe the modules work more thoroughly when you have fully unlocked bootloader. Maybe they need to work alone not with other settings.

If that's the case I wouldn't need xposed any way I could just install a Rom & be done.

I like the ideas & praise the developers .

Have you restarted your phone each time you tried to change any settings? Also, try deleting and redownloading, that worked for me whenever my modules weren't working.

Not all those modules will work if you have a TW rom on your S4. For instance, GravityBox is more for AOSP/CM roms. The only thing you can use is wanam or some of the others that say they specifically target Samsung phones.
