hi rayan.vengara
if you got fcam-drivers uninstall it (that package come with blessn900 and hdrcapture and fcam applications )
another thing if you bought it used flash your N900 so you got all clean then start with it :) .
have fun.
./sifo

Re: N900 cam shows operation failed
 

Did you reflash your N900 when you got it? Have you or, if you didnt reflash it, your friend installed anything that could have something to do with the camera like fcam drivers?

uninstall the fcam drivers and reinstall them.

Re: N900 cam shows operation failed

Re: N900 cam shows operation failed
 

what is kernal power 50?how do i install it..am sorry as i said am not familiar with all these stuff...apreciate ur intrest

Re: N900 cam shows operation failed
 

Reflashing restores the phone to factory state (removes all user data and reinstalls the OS), the "reset to factory settings" in the settings menu doesnt do the same. For more information see:

Also to install kernel power v50 you must first enable Extras-testing and the install kernel power through application manager.
