Hi I saw that some comments said to take off the SIM card and put it back then the flash and the back camera should be working again, does this work for 100%? And also do you need to wait a few minutes before putting back the sim or hours?
Hi there Gilthequeen,
If the flash and rear camera aren't working on your iPhone, removing the SIM card won't affect or help with the issue. Also, removing the SIM card could potentially create new issues with your cellular network connection.
If the flash or camera isn't working on your iPhone, try these steps: If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working
If the issue persists afterwards, the next best step is to have your iPhone inspected. This link will help you get started: iPhone Repair and Service
Take care.

Hi Gilthequeen,
If the steps above do not resolve the issue with the camera, we'd recommend having the iPhone inspected.
You can contact Apple Support for options here: Apple Support
Take care.
I already tried all of these fixes from the apple support and Google and they didn’t work, I saw older discussions about taking out the sim/battery and putting it back so I thought maybe this would work but I haven’t tried it yet and I don’t know what to do, I’m thinking about going to replace the back camera since I can’t get rid of that error
Gilthequeen,
We appreciate you following up. It's possible that servicing the device could resolve this issue. However, we're unable to say with certainty what will resolve the issue without evaluating the device first.
Cheers!
Will replacing the back camera help the “flash is disabled” error?
