You may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 80% battery.

Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).

Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

Dopo l'installazione dell'aggiornamento la fotocamera posteriore non funziona piu. Ma si alternano le due fotocamere anteriori... Come posso fare? 

After installing the update the rear camera no longer works. But the two front cameras alternate ... How can I do?

Try:

Settings/applications /caméra

Click the two selections: force to stop and desactive the application 

Then the application may disapers from your deskstop. Go to the applications folder and search for the camera and lunch it.
