[Q] SGS3 T999 Variant Camera Failed

Hi,

This is my first post in XDA. I'm pretty sure there are similar posts regarding my issue but none of them have solved my problem. My friend gave me his SGS3 T999 (T-Mobile). But the camera won't work, I just get the following message:


I've already tried the following:
1. Flash stock rom
2. Tried other camera apps
3. Tested both front and back cameras with *#0*# USSD code

It may be related but the Accelorometer doesn't work either.

Checked the firmwares:
Rear Camera
Cam FW Ver: GDFD06
Phone FW Ver: GDFI02

Front Camera:
Cam&Phone FW Ver: S5K6A3

I have a hunch, would it be possible to change the camera's firmware verson? That's the only thing I haven't tried so far. I read somewhere that the problem started when they updated the firmware.

Wrong forum. Hope you didn't flash anything from this forum, as it would ultimately result in soft or hard bricking.

Sorry. And thanks. I've been trying to find that but our internet connection wouldn't load past S5. -_-
