My Razr V3 used to take pictures fine. All of sudden now when I hit the camera button the phone just freezes up. The viewfinder comes up and it says 18% of memory used. But the screen stays black and the phone freezes. I end up taking the battery out to be able to use the phone again. Anyone have suggestions? I've already done a master clear and master reset. Everything else works fine on the phone.

I've actually seen that when my phone used to be able to take pictures. In searching for an answer to my problem I remember reading that if you transfer the pictures to your computer the 'blockiness' goes away. Can't verify that for you though as I've never transfered any of the pictures I took to my computer.
Anyone have any information on my original question? Seems like flashing my phone might do the trick, but I'm not exactly sure what that means?

Go here www.motox.us
Here you can download the necessary flash files to use.
I`m sure there is a flashing section in the Motorola tutorials on here.
Good luck!

I found the below post on another forum. Sounds like the same problem I'm experiencing but the flashing didn't solve his problem. Anyone else with some suggestions.
-------------<Post from other forum begins below>----------------------
Hello all,
I have a razr that has problems with the camera... When accessing the camera option, the screen will stay all black. Thinking that it could be a defective camera, I replaced it for a new one. The first time I tried out the new one everything seemed to be OK. When I tried a second time, it froze and not even the "back" button works... and I am obliged to remove the battery to reboot.
I do not think it is a hardware issue and, by the way, I have flashed the phone with the new video enabled flash to see if it repaired the problem and nothing... still no camera and a frozen camera screen.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

I have been recently having the same issue, when I use the camera, or videocamera the viewfinder comes up and it would say on my phone 21% of memory used. But the screen stays black and the phone freezes. But this all started when my phone was hit with rain, it dried out, and all works now except for the problems I just mentioned.
Any fixes or suggestions for this?
I am also new to this flashing scenario, how would I flash my phone? any tutorial websites for a razr v3? I want to make sure I flash with the write files.

Sounds more like water damage to be honest - there are some nice tutorials at http://www.themotoguide.com/
though
