Hello Guys,

yesterday i decided to root my phone due to battery issues (lasts one day).

Rooted the phone,flashed 4,3 rom and i discovered that camera does not work:

"Camera Failed" message
Tried different 4.3 roms and other kernels nothing works,same error message.
Also enter diagnostics menu and same error there for camera testing.

Tried to format,remove,cleared cache for Gallery And Camera,same fault.
also installed 3rd parti cameramx ,same error.
Front camera works fine.

i'm out of ideas, can anyone assist?

when flashing custom ROM make sure you flash the stock kernel first, take a few photos and then flash a custom kernel like Agni. Should sort your problem.

You can also try this ROM (TGP v14.03 based on Samsung Stock Android 4.3), it worked like a charm for me without doing things like "flash stock kernel, take photos, flash custom kernel, etc."

Weird, perhaps it depends on the GS3 model....Or maybe our pre-install procedure is different (system wipe, data and cache wipes, etc.)...
So, you just have to do what Hbohd said previously. Is it working for you ?

As Hbohd said :
1- Install your favorite 4.3 custom ROM with STOCK KERNEL
2- Take a few photos with it.
3- Then flash ONLY CUSTOM KERNEL and camera will work with your custom ROM + Custom kernel

Did you already read this thread ?
Try to read it and test it. It will be clearer than my explanations.

After that, I'm not sure if I can help you more....
In my case, I already had the same problem as you but using TGP ROM v14.03 with default installation solved my camera issues (as I already wrote in this thread).

    Just flash stock KERNEL for your 4.3, reboot and take a photo with it. Then flash custom kernel and it will work !
