I recently did a Nandroid restore to a different unit of the 6P. Everything works fine except for the following :
- Camera does not allow playback of pictures after pictures are taken.
* I manually restored the DCIM folder but still it does not show my old pictures. Only the newly taken pictures are shown although the old pictures are still in the DCIM folder
- I installed FV-5 and also noticed the same thing. Restored /sdcard/DCIM/FV5 folder and the old photos from the restore are still not getting shown
* I took new pictures and the pictures are getting into the /sdcard/DCIM/FV5 folder but those photos cannot be viewed in the FV5 app although it used to work
What's the recommended way to restore photos after a Nandroid restore? I went to the old unit and found that the photos are still being displayed without problems.
The nandroid I restored is based on the July update.

i recently rooted my X with a liberty rom, and since doing all my pictures thru gallery have been lost. My downloaded pics can still be seen via astro, but all of my camera pics are gone. Thought maybe the rom was at fault so flashed a liquid rom and the problem still exists. Anything i can do to recover my lost pictures?
thanks
Your camera pictures should be stored on the sd card under the folder DCIM. Flashing a ROM usually doesn't touch the sd card, but I always plan for the worst when making any major changes. For future reference a good way to backup all your pictures is the sugarsync app. It syncs all your new photos automatically to your sugarsync account.
This isn't exactly an SGS5 issue because auto backup was working fine until last week.
But I noticed yesterday when opening the Photos app it was telling me that Auto Backup failed; when I click to backup manually it just sits on pending.
Any ideas on how to get it kickstarted again? Reboots have not helped.
EDIT: I'm lazy and post here before I do much of my own troubleshooting. I scrolled through media and noticed that Photos showed 3 items with no thumbnail and the message Media Not Found when opening them. I disabled Auto Backup, deleted these items, emptied trash, force quit Photos from task manager, cleared Google+ app cache, opened Photos and verified bad files were no longer present, enabled Auto Backup again which claimed everything was up to date. Then took a test pic and it was backed up successfully. No clue what those weird files were but they clearly broke auto backup from processing new content until fully removed.
I recently reset my phone and re added all my photos from my computer back into my Camera folder, the issue is that on my phone the picture order in which the pictures were taken are all messed up i have year old photos as my most recent and my recent photos scattered all over, Im using Cloudy 2..2 i tried to sort by dates on 2 different gallery apps but it did not help has anyone come across the problem before or knows of an fix?
I'm hoping someone can help me.
For no explainable reason on my part, all my photos have disappeared. I can not see any photos in gallery or Google photos. I can however located photos that I took with my camera in DCIM Folder, however these don't show up in either photo app. I have tried restating and clearing gallery cache etc I have even tried restoring using smart switch to an earlier backup however the problem still exists.
Any clues what's going on?
Update: for some odd reason my phone was filled with ".nomedia" files. I deleted them all, restarted my phone and ran an app called "Media Re.Scan" and they magically reappeared. However only camera photos have reappeared. Other media has not, but I'm not sure they were visible to begin with. I would really appreciate if someone has a theory for this.
Update 2: Don't delete all .nomedia files as this will cause all jpeg files to show up in your gallery including system files and apps etc that have images. Instead only delete .nomedia files found in your photos folder and folders you want to appear in gallery etc. Make sure show hidden files is selected to find these files in the first place. I used ES file Explorer Pro.

Thanks. problem solved!
seeing the same problem in s8
i just got samsung s8 recently. i am new to the samsung phone but i am seeing the exact same problem. i see pictures i took from earlier today and a few fays ago just magically disapper. I have tried multiple things like deleting the cache, data, using quick pro, cut and paste the dscim in a new folder, deleting the .nomedia but i CANNOT make those missing pictures reappear anywhere. Anyone else who ran into this and maybe have fixed the problem?
I'm having the same problem on my S8...taking new pics & downloading pics/gifs then they disappear out of nowhere the next day or so. Just started happening after the last software update (4/3/18). Not sure why or how to recover them. I've had my phone since April 2017 & it's never done this before.
Photos corrupted
Hi guys,
sorry for resuming this post.
Happened this summer and never before on my SM-G935F ITV smartphone, never rooted and stock rom (Android 8).
I loose all the latest photos, or better they are on the card but the thumbnails are grey, I tried to open them with an hex editor and I discovered they are all filled by 0x0.
I used to save them directly on a SD from Huawei 256Gb, scanned and works perfectly.
The only dubt I have is the number of photos saved into the dcim folder, they are over 2048...magic number!
Once I moved the photos in another folder I can take the photos again as usual...
It's just to know if I discovered a bug or what...
Any one with this issue?
Thanks, Pier
Here's a new one on me. I took some pictures and all a sudden I can't share them with messaging or messenger. I get sorry "messenger was unable to process the file" I am using quikpic and also tried snap gallery. i tried clearing data/cache for quikpic and messages, did a smart clean and a reboot. I'm lost. any help is appreciated. I hope i don't have to reset.
looks like my camera pics moved back to the internal memory somehow and my explorer app still shows them on the SD card and when i try to open them then they won't load because they're not there. stock cam still shows SD card for storage. one of my camera apps must have glitched the phone.
So i copied the pics from internal camera folder to the external now i can' t look at those either. i think the file folder structure is glitched. the quikpic still can read pics from the memory card other then what i copied over. i do'n't know what happened. could have happened with Gcam froze up last night after taking a few pictures. so i loaded a diff camera to take pictures in a hurry. they must have both been trying to write to memory.
i still can't get my photos to my computer or anything. i can view them with photo galleries, edit with snapseed and send to mom with messaging through snapseed but the exported files can't be viewed either. i have some really nice pics of my pet birds that isn't easy to take sometimes. Is there some way to recover them?
now i am having the same problem when trying to load music from the file manager. the players say the file was modified or deleted.
