S500 camera doesn't work

[altec223]

Hello!

I got a problem with my s500i. When i turn the camera on and take i picture it just turns the camera off and goes back to the menu. It's kind of wierd because i can record movies with the camera but i can't take photos.

Can anyone please help me? I'm good with phones and i've triead flashing it. The phone is currently cid 53 with firmware R8BE001.

Okey thank you for the quick answer. But how can I record videos with the camera then? And i can see picture when I open the camera, the only thing I cant do is save the photos i take. I've tried taking different kind of pictures, for example i tried taking pictures with frames, and it worked!:confused:

But thanks anyway if you have other ideas please post them!

Hi,

I've exactly the same problem on my w580i CID53 DB2020 flashed. The camera was working, but after installation of a few patchs(vkp), the camera doesn't work anymore. I tried a hard reset, and a complete flash from scratch, and the camera doesn't work anymore too...

Sorry for my super english, i'm french ;)

Sorry, I can't help you, i've choosen to don't use the camera... Nobody can say me how to solve the problem...

Thx

My k750i has the same problem. But I havn't flashed, I just upgrade the camdriver0.dat.
Have you backup the camdriver0.dat? I compare the drivers and find out that
cam_ss_sync=7 (version 3.8) change to cam_ss_sync=f (version 6.0).
And I edit the new driver, it work.
May be the old machine can't support the new setting. My k750i's firmware is the first version.

I think you have a good point there! I mean why does some futures on the camera work and some dont? I think it's something wrong with the cam driver. My only problem is i don't have the original one unfortunately:/ if anyboy has please post it!

Thanks again!

You can extract original driver from FS.

You can extract original driver from FS.

How can i do that? Can you post a link to a guide maybe? That would have been great!

Thank you!
