It's on stock rom now, but flash count is 3 (tryied to install docextreme but it didn't work). And it is rooted.

Reset flash counter using triangle away and flash stock or custom Rom.

I think you should first use triangle away app to reset counter to zero than u should flash stock rom and check your camera if it's work than ok otherwise I recommend you to visit service center as soon as possible. But before go to service centre please boot you cell in download mode and check status ROM -- official and counter --- 0

if it happens again just clear dalvik cache in cwm
and also force close it in app manager then clear cache then it will work again

Today I went to the SC and it was closed (some kind of holiday)... So I threw the smartphone in the backseat and camera was working! At home I opened the phone and saw that the flex cable (camera to "motherboard") wasn't fixed properly. Problem solved!

Need help in solving camera problem

I am having this problem for a while now...my camera doesn't work.when i press the icon, camera application launches with the camera buttons and then with the small preview icon on the right side being black.The screen displays what is in front of the camera but the buttons are totally not functioning. If I wait for it, it then says "camera application not responding" then gives me the option to wait or force close.
-rebooting doesn't help
-clearing data doesn't help
-using another camera application (same result)
-The best solution that I came up with is reflashing ROM (wiping everything)
-if that doesnt work, reformatting SD card
sometimes it works..sometimes not
when fixed, it just runs for a couple of weeks then afterwards, the same thing happens again and I am getting tired of it.
So I would like to seek out your help now enlightened members of xda...please help me
PS..this happens on any kind of rom (oxygen and currently LEWA OS)
Anyone out there who can help me? anyone who experiences the same issues?
Do u have any kind of cell tracking application(like androidlost or something) installed on ur phone? Or any other app that uses camera?

The camera work on the official firmware? (V20E) When did you first notice this problem?
Typically, problems arise with the camera when changing kernel ... Try to flash the kernel from Franko

After Flashing Oxygen V2.6, this problem started after several days...was able to resolve thru reflashing rom wiping everything but after several days reoccured.
I am already using LEWAOS M7 and it happened to me twice now.

Flashed new rom with full wipe, cleared cache, cleared dalvik cache as well. Nothing helps. Think it's a facebook app! Just did everything from scratch without installing facebook app and system is working fine! Have all apps insalled and put into folders etc and all good. Anyone had issue like this before?

Well you can rip the relevant files out of a rom and replace .
Or use the flashable modded TW files .
My suggestion would be to download and reflash the firmware .

Turn off developer options in settings, the green button at top right of screen and then reboot.
Remove your screens and enable your developer options and reboot again.
The problem is related to animation settings.

I was testing a JB rom and then i got back to X-Gamer. But as soon i flashed the rom and tried to download titanium backup to get my apps back, i got this same rror, but this time with EVERY app in market. I changed the rom to ATOMIC 7.0 and the same error appears.
Seems it's not a rom problem now, how can i fix this?

[MOD] SysScopeFix [12/06/2013]

I've started a discussion topic about Samsung's new headache SysScope and System Status: Modified
Finally we think we've fixed the problem for now (until samsung comes up with something new)
What Tested/Reported :
"Device Status" in Settings should always remain "Normal"
"System Status" on Bootloader screen should always remain "Official" (Except "Flash Counter" and "Current Binary", they are bootloader related)
FOTA Firmware Update Check is working but we're not sure because there is no update
It's reported that AllShare is working
A CWM package made from N7100 XXDME1 firmware: SysScopeFix_n7100_XXDME1.zip
* the Apk files in the cwm package may not be compatible if you have a different device/firmware. Backup your rom first!
[For Developers]​
You can take a look at the modified sources and commits.
All the info you need is on Github: https://github.com/sinancetinkaya/DeviceStatus
This is an open project. If you have anything to contribute, please feel free to join.

No, you will need it to reset Flash Counter and Current Binary
System Status (Bootloader) should always remain "Official" (Not the Flash Counter and Current Binary)

Thanks go back to [email protected] for getting this idea going and putting it all up on github! Glad I could lend a hand
Now hopefully some folks that know a thing or two will come by and make it even better
This really needs more attention.
Edit: To make sure it will work on all Samsung firmware (for the usual status in settings) and all ROMs (for the download mode status), is it possible to make an Xposed mod? That would be helpful, because it won't need to be adapted to every ROM.

for the settings, it should be no problem since i coped with the settings's status by modding it months ago. no idea for the counter or status in the download mode though

As far as I've seen, with TA version 2.37, it does reset the download mode custom status if you're on the stock ROM/kernel/recovery. It doesn't with version 2.99.

i tried ta twice only and i gave up finally becoz the custom mode status in download mode is not a problem for me anymore, i mean i don care if it shows custom or not as long as i can reset/reflash the phone back to stock version for maintenance, just in case and touch wood.
although i had another idea to change to status in download mode but it is too risky and i don want to wait for 2 weeks again to get my phone's motherboard replaced (i hard bricked my note 1 before)
perhaps the op has brighter ideas to cope with it

I don't like to comment about the things (like this) that I don't know well.
To communicate with bootloader you need a kernel that has j4fs driver.
As long as I know Perseus kernel has that. And may be that's why on perseus kernel TA is able to reset it without a restart.
Somebody with a good linux kowledge can mount bootloader partition with a proper kernel like perseus and can see what ChainFire is changing.

i am using self modded perseus and j4fs can be loaded as modules for other kernels
btw, i really dono perseus can reset the counter on the fly. may be i will try it later. thx for ur big hints
IT IS WORKING!
I flashed it on Omega v16 and now i have status NORMAL!
Thank you and I wish you everything best in life man!!!
I have tested before with everything available so far including wiping and Triangle Away - every possible version and nothing worked! This WORKS!
Edit:
I just noticed that even though the download of apps from the Samsung store does not work yet but this does not bother me for now.

Yes, unfortunately Samsung has spent big efforts to mess up with our powerful Note2
They've put the same check routines into several APKs.
Honestly I have no intention/time to check all of them.
That's why we put the sources on github and wrote what we did.
Tell your rom developer about this, he can easily do the same thing to the other APKs that we've missed.
I just want only one thing from people: Please send your additional solutions(commits) to my github.
Two head is always better than one
@DaveBG
I couldn't find anything in SamsungApps.apk
Can you send the not working program's apk you've downloaded from the Samsung App Store?

I've installed this mod and I still have modified in device status in settings and the same in download mode plus I have flash count 1 in download mode even though I've reset flash counter in triangle away. BTW triangle away shows me flash counter 0, and system status normal but other options that I mentioned shows me modified. I'm using Adam kernel, Philz recovery and DMC3 firmware.

Okay guys, for now we're trying to get rid off SysScope completely
For now FOTA firmware update checking is working without SysSope (I guess )

Can't connect to camera

I get this error "Can't connect to camera'
I tried using a 3rd party camera from play store, but still when I try to film, it freezes and 2 sec later it closes. when opening it, error.
I read somewhere that bootloader must be working good with rom? I don't wan't to brick my phone with messing around with odin.
Factory reset doesn't work, I always do a clean install on carbon rom update.
PS: I am using Dalvik runtime, maybe fix on ART?
I don't know how to fix, used rom & kernel in my signature.

if it works properly in ROM provided Camera App ??
if it works then try again installing app again..
if not then.. try different 4.4.2 ROM.. or ask in OP's thread if all users have this problem..??
if only you are having this problem then.. start from the scratch again.. and install ROM again by following steps provided in OP's post..
if still didn't work try in any other ROM or stock ROM..

If your ROM is based on CM, it's the ROM issue. Know for a loooooooooong time.

Billions of fixes have been implemented, but apparently non of them work. If u get lucky, it'll work. So I'll recommend reflashing till u get it to work.
