the same thing happens to me. WHEN I TAP THE CAMERA ICON THE PHONE REBOOTS. I tried restoring it, and it still happens. I though it was jsut s spot in the camera so I even moved the camera icon to a whole new area. it still happened. The phone was previously unlocked. My firmware now is i think 3.1.2. I’d tell you the exact firmware, but my phone just rebooted again.

u may just delete the folder /var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE
the system will rebuild the folder
and give the folder ’777′

Hi Schimmelkolonie,
Good news!
After restoring the 1.1.4 firmware, can you describe step by step what you did to fix the problem.
Thanks

PS: I restored my iPhone with the winpwn custom 2.0 firmware. I was able to take 3 pictures but the problem came back after rebooting the iPhone.

Well it worked for me.

I restored my pictures after a refresh of the 1.1.4 firmware.
Afterwards I copied the pictures, changed permissions and ownership and everything workd again.

It happened to me few months ago when I installed CameraPro. I thought it fixed the problem but the same issue came back as soon as the iPhone was rebooted.
I also had no luck with winpwn thus we can only hope that the new 2.0 firmware would fix this problem.

OK, I took some pictures then deleted some and guess? Had the same problem again. Reinstalling Snapture did not resolve the issue and my camera is rebooting the iphone again.

I did not spend more time on it to try figure it out. But at least we know that this is a software issue.

Hi Silvano,
Great news for you but unfortunately it doesn’t work for me as my iPhone still crashed when opening Snapture.
