help! mda pro failed to initialize camera 36001:100:1

[shahraz3]

please help, my mda keeps showing this message, the camera doesnt work and the sound doesnt either, ive returned it to htc europe for repair twice, the first time they changed the mainboard, i got it back and it worked for about a minute then when i next tried the camera, the message appeared and the sound went, as in not even a beep when moving the slider, i returned it to them thinking theyd done a cr*p job but they changed the mainboard again blaming that as the problem, i know they are the ones that make it but it seems they dont actually know whats wrong with it, as twice it has worked and the same result, worked for a minute then no sound no camera, its been going back and fourth for over a month, anyone any idea's??? ive tried the obvious, hard resetting, ive not installed any software third party or otherwise.

I bet your speakers don't work either...

Try tapping the phone, I heard that happened after a bad drop...

Just...(as weird as this sounds) keep tapping it...very firmly.

Search around and see some other methods.

my o2 exec having the same problem too. i didnt drop the phone at all..

[woaychee]

i m got the latest news from the technician.. he said the connector is broken. so, i think is time to change to new phone.

Hi i think i have solved the problem (at least i had the same problem and now my universal is workin)

what i did was so simple 1. downloaded user manual from xda ftp
2. disambled the device according to instructions, i took out the main camera and replaced it back.
3. reinstalled the rom. now its okey just working like before.

(it may be a camera connector issue.)

i had this once after installing a new rom, this was easily fixed with a hard reset, and then a new rom install after hard reset , i think it is more a driver issue rather than hardware.

Before doing this i made lots of hard resets and i used all wm5-6 roms available, anyways: people, before disassembling ur universal make hard reset in case it works :))

TBH id certainly not recommend anyone disassembling there devices unless they know 100% what they are doing and the device is out of its warrenty.

:cool:

yes i agree

I had the same error message.
I am sure it was NOT an hardware issue, because each time I reinstalled the OS (VM5) of my device, the camera was working fine, and won't work after the first reset.
