Root Installed 2.2 Camera and internal mem not working

Bug Splat

Installed the new leaked froyo and now my camera does not work. Both Pic and video app come up but the screen is black. Also my internal 8gb of storage says "Unavailable". I tried formatting the storage a few times and reboot each time and nothing.

I had root my Dinc the old way so I unrooted back to stock, installed the first OTA, then rooted using the Unrevoked tool then installed the 2.2 zip file. Every step went exactly as the videos showed.

Can anyone help me? :(

UPDATE!!!!

OK I figured it out. The Wireless tether APK that you also install with Froyo is doing it. I tried 3 times to follow the video exactly and each time I lost thee camera and internal storage. The 4th time I left out the WIFI tether APK and froyo installed and the camera and storage work.

Hope there is another wifi tether APK that comes out that works. Good luck guys.

I had the same issue. Used Clockwork to wipe the data/cache and reinstalled 2.2 again, no other steps (Left Root and the original Leaked OTA Radio Update in place). On reboot (avoiding the wireless tether apk) the problem was corrected.

Wish I would have known that 5 hours ago ;). I was so afraid of bricking that I downgraded back to 2.1 factory every try. After the whole "don't install the leaked OTA over itself!!!" I was scared to do the same for Froyo.

Me too... ;) it was my second or third complete trip down that little lane before I ID'd the wireless issue and figured out how far I'd have to go back. I was just about to make a thread about the issue when I saw your posts and realized it wasn't just me... :D

It's all golden, now, though. Got wireless tether working via the other workaround and I'm all good...

Sorry, Bug... Had too many threads going at once and thought I had already linked to it in this one.

I used the .bin file and wireless tether apk from this thread (created an "android.tether" folder in root of sd card and placed them there).

Resolved my memory issue and wireless tether is working like a charm...

I'm having this same problem. I've tried uninstalling Wireless Tether and deleting the android.tether folder and my phone storage and camera still aren't working. I'm REALLY hoping I don't have to reflash the stock ROM. It took me like 5 hours to apply 2.2 since I had to reflash the stock ROM, apply the OTA, install 2.2 and then restore all my apps and settings with Titanium. Any helpers out there?

You're going to have to reflash the ROM. The good news is that you don't need to through everything again. I've been bouncing back and forth between this and adrynalyne's ROM all night with no ill effects.
