I'm using the MIUI 14 Weekly rom and without any rooting. My main camera suddenly stopped working today. When I open the Camera app, it just said can't connect to the camera and the app will shutdown after 3 seconds. If I choose selfie from the quick open menu it works(which means the front camera works).

I tried clear cache and Dalvik in TWRP. I also updated to the latest weekly build.
 
Did you maybe try with another app? Just to rule out any hardware problems

Yeah I used the other apps and it seems to be fine. Video shooting using the rear camera also works. I can confirm that only the photo and portrait mode that involves the Leica functionality doesn't work.
 
I just realized that the camera module has some contact issues in the hardware level. Shaking the phone, I can hear something wiggly from the camera module area. I tried the engineer mode, and the telelens module cannot pass. I guess I have to find someplace to resolder the module back on the board. It feels bad that I spent a lot of money on the phone and I only get to use it for 2 months before something went wrong at the hardware level.
