I did some searches and found a number of solutions that did not work for me, for the sake of clarification I will list them below:
1) Install the BlessN900
2) Install the "new" fcam drivers
3) Remove any software that deals with the camera (as in BlessN900 or fcam)
4) Install an older version of the kernel
5) Install an older version of the power-kernel
6) Format the 30Gb partition using the nokia n900
7) Format the 30Gb partition using linux (mkfs.vfat)
8) Restore default settings (so the camera would save on some "right" path again)
9) Flashing the device
10) Flashing the eMMC

I didn't try anything with a SD card because I don't use one.

The kernels I used were the ones on this thread (as were all the fixes I mentioned above).

Still no working camera.

Output of dmesg | tail is
Code:
[  321.369934] cam_shutter (GPIO 110) is now open
[  322.869689] adp1653 2-0030: failed writing fault register
[  322.870361] video4linux video0: can't power up slaves
[  325.932495] cam_shutter (GPIO 110) is now closed
So, any ideas ?

P.S.: Forgot to mention that the files I used for the flashing were:
RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin
RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin

P.S.S.: I followed the instructions here to flash the device.
I resolved it by removing all the custom camera apps, leaving the stock one.

Can u list the custom apps u talking about? My camera has been very blurry for some time now but today i discovered its only showing a black screen.

i have removed some camera apps like flashlight and mbarcoder and blessN900, used apt-get to remove fcam-drivers but to no avail. switched the phone off and on again. Taken out the battery. Nothing seems to work..

Thinking of a reflash (which i hate so doing). Might not install CSSU again.. Wil consider kernel-power though.

Any Suggestions of what might work to restore my camera to its former glory before i undertake this monumental task of flashing and restoring all my apps again?

i have long resolved that problem and no i didn't get error msgs, it just

didn't work back then.

My problem now is i get a blurry focus so my camera is useless for now.

i can't take any pic.

i have tried cleaning the lens and also hitting it(Camera lens) hard as

suggested in the camera blurry/focus-issue thread, didnt work.
