Hey guys, having trouble with deleting old pictures from my phone.
I'm rooted using bobcat 4 ROM.
When deleting the files show as gone but on rebooting the phone they reappear.
New pictures just disappeared.
Looking for a possible solution and also to ask if there is a solution to locating the new pictures I hve taken?
Many thanks in advance

I just recently purchased my Verizon LG G2. I transferred all files from my SD card onto my G2. When I try to find the files on my phone, they aren't there. I was really upset when I first found this out because I thought I lost all my pictures, videos, music, etc... I bought the pro version of an undelete app to retrieve my files. I found them using this app and restored them. I then preceded to connect my phone to my pc again to sort them. I saw that all the files I thought I lost were right there where they always were. Also, I couldn't see any of the files I just restored using the undelete app. Any ideas? What do I need to do in order to view my files on my phone? PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!:crying:
Bumping this. I still need an answer. Can't ANYONE help me???
Hi Gurus,
I have flashed S4-gt-i9500, many time with the custom roms.
Recently I have flashed it with AICP kitkat NIGHTLY rom. Everything was working fine, later I have switched it back to my stock rom backup.
After restoring the stock rom backup, everything was working fine, however after two days I am not able to download/share any photos on whatsapp even I am not able to change the profile picture as well.
Tried to share pictures with Facebook and Viber, both did not work.
I had not made any changes and suddenly started to get this error in whatsapp.
Tried reinstalling whatsapp. Clearing data/cache. nothing worked :crying:
Please guyzzz help me.. I really want to use whats app in stock rom.
God knows what went wrong all of a sudden.
WhatsApp Error: Sharing failed please try again
Is this a known issue with android? Its happening with facebook/viber/whatsapp)
Here is how I switched back to stock rom:
Stock Rom->backup->Custom Rom (AICP NIGHTLY)->restore stock backup->use whatsapp->get the error.
I even can not see my friends profile pictures. it shows me blank screen. (Formatting the SD card also did not work.)
Appreciate all your help guyzz
Switching it back to custom rom AICP, whatsapp and other apps work fine with the file sharing option.
Any inputs on this?
I recently also had this problem. This is the fix I used.
1. Rename your DCIM folder to something else.
2. Use your camera gallery to recreate the DCIM folder.
3. Copy back all the photos only into the new DCIM folder.
4. It'll work back to normal.
I discovered this from the forum post about using external sd card. I checked that out and it worked, but wasn't happy with the solution.
Hello there
My device is GT-I9500 and i used to hide some personal pictures using gallery and no other application ..
the problem is that I didn't back up most of my marriage photos and just kept it hidden, and somehow I accidentally deleted all of it.
I tried a recovery app called diskdigger, it helped on recovering only 3 pictures that were hidden and the rest were old pictures.
Please help me recover my pictures they worth a lot to me :cyclops:
Help, anyone ?
Hello,
i use S5 SM G900F with Lollipop 5.0 (BOD3)
I recently managed to delete all my pictures out of my gallery by a mistake. I use a software to synchronize the dcim/camera directory with a hard disk at home. so i was able to restore the photos back in the camerafolder. Now i see many blank thumbnails in the category tabs (scenes,events, persons etc.). i am not able to delete them. I rebooted serveral times and waited for the card scanner to do his work but the problem still exist. the restored pictures did not even been added to the categories!
So i decided to use app manager to delete data of the gallery app (and camera app). But after restart the problem still exist!
What do you think i have to do to start over with gallery again?
thanks in advance...
I solved the symptoms of my problem. I moved some photos to a categorie with empty thumbnails, removed them again and the empty thumbnails were deleted too.
I still not sure how to remove all data from gallery database but for now my problem is gone.
A friend took a picture and decided to try and delete it. When he accessed the gallery app where the folders are shown (the pic he took was the thumbnail of the folder), he deleted the whole folder. Is there any way to retrieve deleted photos? I tried a google search but all of the programs i found such as Dr. Fone etc all require me to purchase the software itself. Is there any way i can retrieve these photos? My Samsung device is not rooted and i haven't ever used the google+ apps and so when i access my gmails etc the photos aren't in the bin. I had about 300+ very important photos

No it's impossible unless you are still running Android 4.2.2.
Every information about recovering files is outdated and cannot be used anymore.

I am running android 4.4.2, seeing as this is still kitkat is it possible on this version? Why or why not?
I don't know if they can be recovered if they were on the internal memory.

Because Android enabled Trim from 4.3+ and up.
Wow that sucks. Is there no way i can restore these pics and vids?
Edit: YAY i recovered the pictures by using the google play app "Diskdigger photo recover" app it's the only thing that worked after trying countless of countless of programs on my computer. Anyways the videos that have been recovered have turned into image files. Is there any way to convert them back to the videos they once were?
