Every time I started the camera app, it'd try to enable GPS for geo tagging and would fail, which I guess resulted in the not responding error. Later on, I'd enable GPS, open camera app and then disable geo tagging first. I would then proceed to manually disabling GPS from phone setttings.

Just tried flashing now after it completely crashed, it just shut down, and when I try to boot, it is stuck at nokia. Won't boot at all. I have tried and enabled rd mode but that hasn't fixed this. Am not sure whats wrong with my phone. The sim tray am using is new hence my product code is can not be seen, on the other hand, nemesis won't detect my phone so as to read the product code neither does Nokia Software Updater. Is there an alternative way to know what my Product Code is? Kindly assist.

@Lucazz990 - It's currently crashed, will try on successfully flashing it. Now got new worries on the Product Code.

I flashed the firmware and the emmc and somehow, everything was cleared but the problem that led me to flashing is still there - camera not responding, even after enabling the gps from settings. Says, Panorama says 'camera is reserved by another application', Camera+ says "Camera error. Please restart the application." The stock camera gives the standard error "Camera not responding....."

Any idea how I can stop GPS completely and/or get the camera to work.

Regards,
Fredrick

Unfortunately if flashing the device fails to mend the problem you are facing a real possibility that your device has a HW fault. :(

I do second that. :(

(Did you flash also eMMC? Not that I think it makes any difference, but to be on the safe side. If that also fails, HW failure ...)

Yes, I flashed the firmware first, saved my data and then the emmc.
Something funny happened though, when I flashed the firmware, all things were intact (msgs, call logs n contacts) unlike what I had expected - thought a firmware flash would delete anything like messages, contacts etc. Is this proper?

meanwhile - I will check my hardware...thanks..

A firmware flash only flashes firmware (i.e. rootfs).
User data on /home and eMMC stays intact.

Please flash both files together!

Holy moly, I went and deleted the twitter folder in /home/.cache/data and now it seems to be working! ..and fixed just about every other issue I previously had!

I hope this helps others too
