Camera lost autofocus feature - Sony Xperia XZ1 Questions & Answers

Device comes with Android 9.0.
I've unlocked it, flashed Android 8.0, put TWRP recovery and gained root.
But during testing i've discovered the fact that camera lost it's autofocus ability in stock application.
Tried OpenCamera with Camera API 1/2 with the same result.
Any ideas?

so you didn't read about what happens when you unlock bootloader?

miui stock camera broken?

Hi, miui 9 global, android 7. samsung sensor.
i just magisk rooted my phone and edited build.prop to emable camera2api , so i could try google camera.. thats great, but now the stock camera no longer works in hdr or panorama modes. enable hdr mode and it says "cant connect to camera" and crashes.. panorama mode just immediately crashes. panorama mode on google camera is terrible, so i will really miss this feature.
i hoped that installing the extra features on the stock camera might help. i added those with a magisk module. new functions appear but same issue.
in frustration, i reverted build.prop back to original state..
camera still broken!!
ive rebooted and cleared cache in twrp.
help?

Urgenttt!!Please!!!Selfie Camera not working!!

Hello,
I have a leagoo m8 pro and recently I had tried to flash a new custom rom on it and it didn't work. My phone was soft bricked and I brought it to a store and it repaired it by flashing an official android os on it but since then my selfie camera has stopped working
I tried downloading other camera apps to switch to selfie mode but it still didn't work, I also factory resetted my phone but it was still not working
I was thinking that maybe it was the os or else it's a hardware problem..please I really need your help!!:crying:

No issues with camera or fingerprint here on my device.
Try clearing data for camera or something. Have you tried anything at all with your camera app to get it working?
I did a factory reset after updating to 10. Set fingerprints, installed all apps, fhen restarted! That restart broke my fingerprint completely. Its completely non functional now. Only works once after restarting to open the phone, then its not there at all.

My camera is working same goes with fingerprint. But it is not featured the way it was on pie.
No 32s on pro mode
Fingerprint requires a tap for fod to display.
The rollout was pulled due to bugs. I had downloaded a copy and booted into recover using the power and volume up buttons. Once I saw the open Android I pressed power and tapped volume up again to get to options menu. I hit the apply update from SD option. It started to update but kept failing shortly after it started update. Kind of glad it didn't since there's a lot of bugs. Let's see how long before they start pushing update again SMH.

G8342, XperiFix, Camera still not working(missing files?)

Hello.
After installing XperiFix, my camera is still not working. I am uploading the logs below. I noticed that the Magick 17.1 version from XperiFix doesn't work, and when I try to update or upload from a new one, I see a black screen after booting the phone, but when I press and hold power button I see a window to a turn off device and sometimes top bar appears (time, battery, etc.). I tried to install Magisk v25.2.
I also tried to upload the stock camera (https://gitlab.com/xperiance/camera/-/releases) but without the higher version of Magick I can't do it.
I have FW .205, before that I tried .270 but it didn't work, bootloop when starting the phone.
In the morning I will install the update from OTA to .235 and try to upload XperiFix or install the .145 version and see what happens next.
I tried Open Camera and made logs, but they didn't save, but the camera still doesn't work ;/
EDIT: I flashed FW .145 but didn't help.
I flashed Android 9 FW 47.2.A.11.228 to test, but I cant flashed XperiFix, because in TWRP write "read-only partition detected" and I see that I flashed Magisk nothing happens, it's as if it didn't install, I don't know why but I didn't have a problem with it before... In TWRP this options "read-only" is unchecked.

Is it possible to fix this somehow, anyone know anything? I've read a lot of forum posts about it but nothing works, I'll just add that after installing some AOSP(probably Android 11) the front camera works but very poorly and after taking a picture you can see green artifacts on it.

F.A.Q.​
Q: Does it need Root?
A: No, didn't I mention it in first post?
Q: The color of my Booloader/Modem version is orange. What does that mean?
A: Your Booloader/Modem is from 2015 release and might be outdated. If you face RIL issues or any other issue that might be related to your Booloader/Modem, consider upgrading if possible.
Q: The color of my Booloader/Modem version is red. That's not good right?
A: Yes, you have one of the oldest Booloader/Modem (from 2014) which will definitely cause RIL issues or bootloops at setup screen in modern Custom ROMs. You should upgrade to the latest Booloader/Modem if possible.
Q: What does SLSI_S5K4H5YB/SONY_IMX175 mean?
A: SLSI_S5K4H5YB = Samsung camera sensor | SONY_IMX175 = Sony camera sensor
Q: In camera section, all my camera types are okay but the camera status shows "Not working". What should I do?
A: That means you either have a different camera sensor or (if you're sure its the correct sensor) your camera hardware might be broken. If the first one is the case, flash a different Firmware/ROM that supports your sensor. For example, if your camera types show "SLSI_S5K4H5YB", flash a Sony firmware.
Q: The back camera type note shows "Your back camera kernel type does not match the others but it should not affect the camera functionality". Should I be worried?
A: No, as it says in the text "..but it should not affect the camera functionality", because it actually doesn't affect the camera functionality at all.
Q: The back camera type note shows "Your back camera firmware type does not match the vendor type" but my camera works?
A: If you camera works then good for you! This case however is unusual but happens if you flashed a stock firmware before which was meant for a different camera sensor. So the text in Vendor back camera type is your true camera sensor in this case.
Q: The back camera type note shows "Your back camera firmware type does not match the vendor type" and the camera status shows "Not working"! Help!
A: If your camera is actually not working then you need to research how the ROM you flashed does manage that:
Does the ROM offer a camera patch? If so, flash it to fix the camera.
Does the ROM offer an option to select the camera sensor (e.g. SEPerience-ROM)? Then you selected the wrong sensor. Reflashing the ROM and selecting the other sensor should fix it.
Does the ROM offer different builds (e.g. LineageOS)? Then you flashed the wrong build. Flash the correct build to fix the camera.
Tip: check what the Firmware back camera type does show. For example, if it shows "SLSI_S5K4H5YB" but your Vendor back camera type shows "SONY_IMX175" then you have a Samsung sensor.
Q: The Vendor camera type shows "SLSI_S5K4H5YB && SONY_IMX175", does that mean I got both sensors!?
A: No, but there are two reasons why that could happen:
You flashed a camera patch fix that didn't remove the unused camera blobs
Or, the ROM developer does include both camera blobs in their builds
In this case it's not easy to figure out which camera sensor you actually have. Thus, Back camera status will also display "Unable to check your back camera type".
Q: Can I install the App on a different Android device than S3 Neo?
A: Yes, you can install the App on any Android device but the features the App offers will be limited as it was desinged for the Galaxy S3 Neo.
