SONYk750:Camera Driver not installed , cant even install

[max_demon]

me facing same problem

Hi,

I have been trying to fix this problem for two days without luck, so I'm asking for some help.

I have a CID49 K750i phone, and it does not have any Camera driver installed, and I am unable to install it.
When I open the camera shutter I see a black screen with some camera settings that quickly exits out, and when I select Camera in the phone menu the screen just flashes and nothing happens. I have opened up my phone multiple times and reconnected all the cables, so I don't think the problem lies with a faulty Flex cable because opening the camera shutter triggers camera mode, it just doesn't do anything since there is no camera driver installed...


going into service mode, I see this

as you can see, there is no Camera driver installed. And no matter what I try, I can't get it to install. The firmware it came with for the k750i was R1BD001, and I have tried re-updating using the Sony Ericsson update utility thing to reflash to R1BD001
I have also tried
W800_R1BC002_FS_VFE_2_RED49.fbn
W800_R1BC002_MAIN_EU_1_CA_RED49.mbn

and currently am using
W800_R1BD001_FS_EMEA_1_RED49.fbn
W800_R1BD001_MAIN_EU_1_CA_RED49.mbn

I'm gonna try K750 R1BC021, but I'm doubtful if that will help since other firmwares didn't install any camera driver either. Absolutely everything else on the phone works fine, just no camera function at all.


have tried uploading with FAR manager the following cam drivers, I am doing this by copying the camera driver as camdriver0.dat and placing it into FS/ifs/settings/camera (deleting the old file and putting in the new file)
I have also tried some other camdrivers without luck:
camdriver0_8.52_Paparazy_2007
camera_driver_v.5.31
Kriomag_v21[1].8_fixed
camdriver_65_with_configurationtool_02_BETA_by_rai der
8.54_update1

when I was reading forums someone said that he was "using patch that redirects driver to Phone Memory: Other\drv and now i can upload driver with MyPhoneExplorer"
how do I get this patch so I can try placing camdriver0.dat into that folder to see if maybe that fixes it?

To flash I am using PhoneXS_2.10_Alpha6 and FARmanager 1.70 and SEFP 10.0.51


anyone got any further suggestions on what I can try to get my camera driver to install and work?


much appeciated

thanks

when i try to upload via FAR it stucks at



PLEASE HELP

regarding the patch which places the driver in the /others/drv folder, get it form SE-NSE forums. i think the problem is being caused due to some patch.
