Some days ago I installed a Resurrection Remix Rom (I actually don't know which one, sorry. I just know that it's got Lollipop) and when i went to the camera it said: <<Can't connect to camera>>
I still had warranty, so I installed the stock rom (I checked the camera and it still didn't work) and I sent the phone to the company. IMPORTANT NOTE: In the warranty ticket it said <<SOFTWARE ERROR>>
The only camera I can use is the "selfies" one
When I received it, the error was fixed, so I tried to install another ROM, so I installed CM12. But... I got the error AGAIN and I haven't got warranty anymore
That's what I tried
-Install Reset Camera and Camera (CMFix) (Camera CMFix didn't open and I had Restart Camera Installed :v)
-Checking if an app is having troubles with the camera
-Rebooting in safe mode
-Holding down the volume/power/back
-Clearing Data and Cache of the camera
-Removing my SD card
-Renaming the DCIM folder
- youtube. com/ watch?v=Fa9qggQJ990 (I can't even access to that menu ._.)
-Find “Use NuPlayer” and uncheck it & restart
-Using other camera apps
-Disabling the Google Camera and using the default one
-EDIT: I installed the Stock Rom with odin and did a factory reset. I even did a "system reset" with odin. AND IT STILL DIDN'T WORK OMFG. Then I tried to update the camera firmware (youtube. com/ watch?v=Fa9qggQJ990) because I've got KK now, but the "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check" is disabled. I googled my camera Cam FW Ver and it's not old
Thank you, I'ts a really annoying error. My S3 is giving me too many troubles, I'm starting to hate it... But I can't buy a new one :crying:
OHMYGOD I CAN'T FIND A WAY TO FIX THAT ERROR HELP PLEASE

If you're confident that its not a software issue, then go ahead and unroot your phone and show it once (sometimes the problem maybe that the camera slot just got loose). But 'can't connect to camera' is common from cm12 onwards. Maybe its a kernel problem. The fact that stock firmware also failed is something abnormal. Even in a few Touchwiz roms, kernel changes led to cameras not working.
Anyway, If you're still on stock rom do to the dialer and enter
*#7353# quick test
*#*#4636#*#* for test and information
*#34971539# for Camera Firmware Update and
*#7412365# Camera Firmware Menu

I did *#7353# and tested the camera and it told me Can't connect to camera again, I can't choose "Phone to CAM FW Write (Main)" in *#34971539# and *#7412365# and *#*#4636#*#* didn't work
I guess It's a kernel problem
Thank you so much!

Hi been having problems with my SGS3.
The fault is it keeps rebooting its self, sometimes you can get on the homepage but after a minute or so it'll reboot again. If i use the rear camera it works fine, but as soon as i use the front camera it says camera has failed. To use the rear camera again i have to clear the camera cache. Also when i use S Voice the phone freezes. I'm using 3UK Firmware Jelly bean stock and the phone is not rooted.
So should i RMA it or is there a solution to the fix..?
Any help would be greatfull.

Believe that a software error.
Use Odin or Samsung Kies to flash new firmware.
Firmware can be found on sammobile.com
Think that should work
try a factory reset, but you will lose data, so backup first
i've done all you mentioned but no luck. RMA it this morning.
I've got another problem with camera after update to 6.2.A.1.100...
When I use Quick Shot/Launch camera - sometimes i get a message 'Error! Camera not available'
The problem is ONLY when I use Quick Shot/Launch on locked screen. When I normaly turn on camera, by using 'Camera' app from menu, everything is ok:
img19.imageshack.us/img19/5672/screenshot2013061315454.png
(copy and paste it to web browser)
I've tried repair phone by PCC but it does't fix my problem (or install fw Generic World or Central Europe).
On ICS, Quick Shot works perfect, but on 6.2.A.0.400 I've got another problem (black screen / camera FC)
Can you escalade my problem (try to several (maybe 5-6 times) Quick Shot/Launch the camera on locked screen and next lock screen)??
I tested Quick launch in Safe mode. And what?
Everything works perfect!
There must be a process which can't run the camera in quick launch (I have not installed anything apps using camera).
Which one?

I tried to clear data, reinstall software many times... anything doesn't fix my problem.
Finally I found the solution - I have installed JB MoonBreaker v3 (test) from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42565512&postcount=836
Everything was ok, so I thought 'I have a warranty to my phone so I have to back to stock firmware .100'
After flashing the firmware by flashtool, resetting to the factory defaults, problems came back
I'm sure that is not a hardware problem - only software must have a bug.

my last opinion for your issue maybe you can try to re-download ftf file fw 100, because on me camera work fine..

What do you mean, saying 'camera'?? When you choose 'Camera' from menu?? Or choosing Quick Launch on locked screen?
Camera - from menu always works fine for me, but Quick Launch - not always...
I downloaded .100 Generic World and problem still persists (earlier I had .100 CE).

Try a Full Wipe by Deleting Everything on /sdcard.
The Option is on the Mounting Option in CWM 6 . ( Format /sdcard) .
Then just install the ROM again and it must work because it ever worked on my Phone.
Good Luck.

If its software related, a clean install should fix it (wipes+reflash firmware).
Otherwise its a hardware malfunction, so yeah, service center. (When it happened to me it was faulty camera hardware).
maybe u can search "restart camera.apk" and install like normal apk.
click the app restart camera, and open your camera phone
hope it'll working!
and if thats not solve your problem, try with another camera. focal, etc

Hello, I'm Laurent from Belgium. Juste arrived in Taiwan couple of days ago.
I put CM13 a couple of months ago on my beloved S3. (I9300 from belgium)
Everything was fine, sometimes camera plant and just have to reboot.
But Monday when I arrived in Taiwan (pity) I wanted to take a picture and than big freeze and the phone totally blocked. It was on a boot loop (logo animation).
Arrived at the hotel than I try others CM (nightly and snapchot) with or without gapps and flashed correctly but still on a boot loop, once he arrived at the first step (choose language) but as soon as i touch the screen freeze, than boot loop again.
I arrived finally to get the stock rom and put everything back on 4.3 (from updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model ).
Can't use the front camera, rear camera and flash:
- The stock camera app: i see all the buton but don't do anything if I touch them (settings, color, switch rear/front ...) and the screen is black. the menu button on bottom left just propose me "edit shortcut"
- All other app: instagram and others don't work (it launch but do nothing when I push the picture button)
- Flashlight app freeze too, when I launch, black screen and the flash never light.
- When I used the code *#0*# (or something) it launch the soft but if I choose "mega cam" black screen and than "test factory is not responding" (now the front camera work with this test factory)
- when I used the code *#34971539# to launch "camerafirmware standard" I just have this title on the top but again nothing under, black (not the menu with upgrade camera firmware etc)
I try so the full wipe and reinstall without wifi etc (so don't go on my google account dl straight app etc)
I try the app manager: force stop and clear cache and clear data.
I try a small package fix camera found in a thread here
I try recovery and wipe cache, wipe data, factory reset ...
I bought a screw driver and open it and move cables etc (not totally remove the motherboard
I try to put an other kernel.
I try to update the camera firmware by recovery (but don't know if it can work or not)
I read and read and read so many thread all over google hours and hours ...
The thing is that so the flash doesn't work either: when I install the flashlight it tell me "need to access camera" so say yes of course, but so plant when I launch, so means that the app try to pass by the camera driver to open the flash no? problem is that I can't update the firmware as the samsung code plant also. I don't know if on stock I can install it by an other way or either remove/reinstall camera driver or stock camera app.
I was thinking to buy a new phone here anyway but no in a hurry and the first month here in taiwan I want to travel so take pictures as well I will try to find an old shop with broken phone and replace the camera.
ps: I'm not sure about the carrier/region of my phone ! is it possible to find it somewhere? with iemi or SN ? When I use kies he told me I'm already update, but I'm not sure if I have the right stock rom. (everything else work fine so)
GT I9300
FDD ID: A3LGTI9300A
SSN: -I9300GSMH
IMEI: 354793/05/342885/2
S/N: RF1CAEFX6HB
(internet connection in the hotel is slow, I need to go to a coffee shop to DL rom, so I can't try every other stock rom )
Thank you if you took time to read uh uh
yeah, just read some french thread.
Apparently this is a well known problem. Hardware camera...
Will try to get one for cheap.
But I don't get it that the flash and the camera stop to work in the same time. Are they linked ? if the camera is dead, the soft won't detect it so ll not run so the flash won't work as well ?
