I have been having this same issue for over a month ago and even after surfing online for the solution and trying them(changing battery, hard reset including all the solutions here) nothing worked. Yesterday while checking up fixes on YouTube I saw a recent video on how to fix this issue and it actually worked for me. Hope it works for others too.. video link:

Dear Friends,

I have iphone 5 and after updating my camera was not working. "The error message was "Flash disabled and your phone needs to cool down". I have done reseting 2 times and i kept the phone tissue wrapped inside the deep freezer .

i kept there for almost 15 minutes and just taken out and checked the camera is working ....LOL..... Trust me its working now .... You all try out this.

Thanks
