iPhone 3g BLANK Picture problem resolution – After updating with Apple’s iPhone 2.2 update

Hi All

I got a problem with my camera. It just take pictures, but it’s all blank / white in my iPhone 3g after i update it with 2.2 update. I’ve jailbreak it with 2.2 also, nothing works. Video does not have any issue. I tried above option, but, it didn't worked for me.

I found below URL; http://modmyi.com/forums/ziphone/32461-problems-iphone-camera.html

Bottomline, you need to execute below command in SSH command prompt.

It's basically DCIM needs -R permission ( i think read, im not a unix guy, im a .net guy).

I followed the below url, since 1st time im doing ssh. I used putty, but, since i dont have much knowledge of unix commands, i used WinSCH as mentioned in the below URL;

Step 1: Go to URL - http://sleepers.net/blank/install-and-use-ssh/

Step 2: Download and follow this section "On Windows (using WinSCP)" for just login only, not the whole section. Once you login, come to "Step 3" below. Before you click "Login" in WinSCP, see the Note below, which might be useful.

Note: Before you click login, makesure you click Advanced settings and select "Windows Explorer style"  property instead of Novel style.

Step 3: Now, once you're in you'll be in the below node "/private/var/root/Media"

Step 4: Go to "/ <root>" folder and now navigate to the below folder "/var/mobile/Media"

Step 5: Now, in WinSCP, select the folder "Media"

Step 6: Now, in WinSCP, at the Top, you can see a BLACK icon called "HOM" (there will be only 1 black icon). Just click that

Step 7: It opens up a Terminal Window

Step 8: In the "Enter Command" give below command;

chown -R mobile DCIM

Step 9: Now, click the button "Execute"

Step 10: If the Terminal window shows as below, then you're all set.

/var/mobile/Media$ chown -R mobile DCIM

Take a picture, you'll be able to see it, and no BLANK picture problem. It's resolved.

Step 11: If it throws an error saying "no folder DCIM exist, it means, you've not selected the right folder. Basically you should be 1 folder up of DCIM folder.
