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,
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.

Backup data and restore your Nandroid backup or Just factory reset.
Hi,
I can't perform a Whatsapp backup since January this year, regardless if Google Drive Backup is checked, if the Whatsapp app is stored in the local or on sd card memory, automatic backups are being cancelled, too.
After I hit "Backup", the Dialogue "Messages are being backed up" shows up, which closes after 10 sec without any error message.
I tried to contact the WA Support, but they insist that my S4 is rooted (which it isn't, maybe because of the custom ROM I use).
I have flashed my Samsung I9505 in January this year from CM 12.1 to CM 13. At the beginning, the phone ran smoothless except BT. After a while, WiFi stopped working as well. I tried to flash the CM 12.1 backup and radios without any success, just a new mainboard helped. I installed my CM 12.1 backup from January via TWRP from my old mainboard, which ran without any errors on it (after a fullwipe on the new one).
The phone works great, except the WA backup.
WA gets always updated to the current version, I have ~1,2 GB free internal memory, I tried to update to the latest CM 12.1 5.1.1 version from 12/26/2015, perform a backup via 4G, 3G, Wifi, with an without Google Backup checked, cleared the cache and wiped Dalvic Cache, there is no app deactivated.
I use Baseband I9505XXUHOD7 and Kernel: 3.4.107-cyanogenmod-gab9afd6clyde.
Running a custom ROM means you are rooted.
Now, I don't know why whatsapp wouldn't work on a rooted ROM, but if you want to backup you can use titanium backup.

There is no root, please check the screenshot below.
Since there is no root, I can't use Titanium Backup, however, it wouldn't be the most practicable way to backup your Whatsapp history every time with Titanium Backup.
Besides that, I don't think this would work if I would like to transfer my history to a new phone on which WA Backup should work as intended as I won't flash the ROM/install root and void the warranty.
WA backup worked perfect with the old logicboard before flashing CM 13.

Root has to be activated from developer options.
That is definitely a whatsapp problem if it worked before.

Well, I haven't even unlocked the developer options until now..
Any idea how to convince WA doing it's job? Anybody with this problem before?
if you really want a backup it makes more sense that you either activate root or flash superSU yourself rather than wait on whatsapp to change their code just for you. they've already told you effectively that they aren't going to do anything for you and don't have to.
backing up the app and data with TiBu and copying the whatsapp folder achieves everything you want and has worked flawlessly for me many many times.
Well guys, got a new phone but the problem persists when trying to restore my history on the new phone and really need your help.
Got root on the old phone and saved the com.whatsapp folder of it with the key file and databases. How can I encrypt the msgstore.db to msgstore.db.crypt8?
I have tried the app Whatcrypt, which creates a msgstore.db.crypt file, as large as msgstore.db, but Whatsapp on the new phone does not recognize it as a backup file.
When using whatcrypt.com and uploading the key and msgstore.db, it tells me "Encryption failed / Incorrect account?"
Also tried Omni-Crypt app. It creates msgstore.crypt, which Whatsapp ignores as well ("searching for Backups" with waiting triangle for hours)
I don't know any other way and I'm literally stuck now
when i mentioned copying the apps folder i was thinking of the one on the root of your internal storage, not the one in Android/data/...
you can paste that onto a new phone and restore the app and data with titanium.

Of course I can copy the Whatsapp folder on the root of the storage but this folder only contains the wa media files of my old phone since there are no msgstore.db.cryptX files created by Whatsapp.
For TiBa I would need to root the new phone which is a S7 Edge and I would like to avoid this until the warranty has expired. It is not as easy to do repairs by yourself as the S4..
fair enough, have you tried copying both folders over and installing from playstore ? or rather, install the app but don't open it, copy over both folders and then try and see what happens...
Hi. I have Huawei P8 lite phone (ALE-21). I have never made root on this phone. Today I created backup of all files (messages, contacts, media, applications - over 2GB) with encryption. I made the factory reset and tried to restore files from the backup with the password, but it failed. Phone displays information that password is oncorrect and doesn't accept it. What I noticed is the UI is different than it was before the factory reset but when I'm checking the update from the phone level it is saying that the version of firmware and EMUI the newest (or rather that there are no updates). My questions are is it possible that I have encrytped the backup with another version of firmware and EMUI and in effect with another alghoritm (I suppose that because I needed to make the reset because something was broken since half year and I was not able to use Google Services) and is there any another way to restore these files (most important for me are calendar, alarms, contacts, and messages)? Could you help me with that?
