To do this, turn off your phone and hold down both the Power button and Volume Down button at the same time until you see the Android system recovery menu appear on-screen.

Once you see this menu appear, use the volume buttons to navigate to Recovery Mode and press the Power button to select it. Then, when you see an Android logo with an exclamation mark appear on-screen, hold down both the Power button and Volume Up button at the same time for about 30 seconds.

Next, use your volume keys to scroll down to “wipe cache partition” or “wipe cache” (the option may vary depending on your device) and press your power key to select it. Once that’s done, use your volume keys to scroll down to “Reboot system now” and press the Power button to select it.

Your phone will now reboot and you should be able to open the camera app without any issues.
