Help Nexus 5x camera is broken

[havens1515]

My phone was working fine, then I upgraded to 6.0.1 and now my camera won't work. Not just the stock app, any app that uses the camera. The app will open, but the image stays black.

I used the phone for a while on Android 6.0 and everything was fine. I took some pictures and videos and they looked great. Then I got some USB-C cables, unlocked my bootloader and flashed the 6.0.1 factory image. Even before rooting, or any other mods, the camera didn't work on 6.0.1.

Anyone else seen this happen? Any suggestions on how to fix it? This isn't my first Nexus, or my first time flashing a factory image. I just tried to re-flash to see if that would help, but it's still broken.

Figured it out myself. I didn't flash the "vendor.img" file. Once I did that, the camera works again.
