All my pics were/are stored on SD Card. Before Stump root when I went to Gallery app I could see all my pics and albums. And now after Stump root my Gallery has 1 camera pic in it and 2 preloaded videos but I still have all my pics on my SD Card. I cannot find a way to repoint the Gallery location to SD. Any ideas?
thanks in advance....
In Gallery if you back out all the way to Albums there might be 2 Camera albums, one old and one new. That is how mine is since I redirected my photos to SD card, but I don't think that was a root-related issue. If that's not the solution then I don't know.

Same thing happened to me after root with stump. I also used SD card fixer from the market and copied from internal so I would have 2 copies. After a few days I woke up in the morning and card was empty and lost my pics in gallery.
I don't know if it had something to do with stump, SD card fixer etc. I also had a security warning at the same time with my avast App about towel root which surprised me.
Anyways I used an app called undeleter and got most of my pics back. Some were corrupted but better than nothing. I don't know the cause but hope I helped some with the Undeleter app.
After you rooted did you uninstall stump after rebooting?

First thing I did.
Like I said in my post, may have nothing to do with stump. Could be SD card fixer. It could be software. Some weird ghostly things have happened since I got the phone.
SD Card Issues after using Stump Root
When I used Stump root, my music collection on my SD got funky in a bad way. songs corrupted, mp3 metadata sloshed around, and 30-40% of my songs just dissappeared. Other things were corrupted after rooting as well. PDF's and pictures, but oddly no videos were damaged. Maybe it does or does not have anything to do with Stump. But as a general rule and fair warning, always pop out your SD Card before root, unless the exploit needs an SD Card, which I did not follow.

ok thunderbolt wont find my photos or music on the sdcard after root. they are still there checked with root explorer. any idea how to get them back??
Restart to see if the scanner will find them. If not, just install quickpic. It's a thousand times better than the stock gallery.

I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago. It happened about two weeks after I had rooted. I was not a happy camper and tried to reformat the card (after copying the contents to my PC) and that didn't work. I did put in the SD card from my OG Droid, copied the contents and voila - the pics showed up in the Gallery and the music in the player.
I went to my sales guy at the Verizon store and he told me to just call Sandisk and they would replace it. Just before I did that, I reformatted the disk, partitioned it and tried one more time to copy the files. To my surprise, everything is working great.
I know it is a hassle, but worth the try.
Good luck...
Download an app from the Market called SDrescan
Ive noticed for whatever reason sometimes the phone will not scan the sd card on its own.
Try that out it worked for me. Every Once in a Blue Moon Now I have to run it to get some pics /and/or any media for that matter to show up.
Went to look at some pics off my SD card last night and realized that the phone had deleted them.
But what was weird, beside the fact that they got deleted, was that the phone didn't delete all my pictures. Out of about 200 pics, it deleted around 190 of them. Very strange.
Has this happened to anyone else??
Not I. The SD Card and the pictures contained should be virtually untouchable without direct user interaction. Did you possibly put them on the external SD? Are you trusting Gallery or did you check with a file manager as well? Lastly, have you used HTC sync or any other tool that could copy/backup these pictures(and maybe delete them after sync)
Same thing happened to me. Lost about 90% of my pics. Don't know how it happened. Was able to recover most of them using a program that is on hirem's boot cd.

I used ASTRO file manager to double check that the pictures were actually deleted.
I don't sync my phone with my computer so I don't know how the pictures would have been deleted.
Needless to say, it's very disconcerting that my SD card could be vulnerable to something like this. I can understand, somewhat, if it was the phones internal storage, but not my SD card.
Luckily I had backed up my SD card on my computer recently (copy and paste method) so I didn't lose too many pictures.
He didnt like your dirty pics

I would say keep your SD backed up and if it happens again exchange the phone.

as a backup method, you could use sugarsync. They have a 5gb free account and can back up all pictures and videos automatically.
Hey everybody, let me speak to this.
More than likely your pictures are NOT deleted.
This has happened to me several times. I'd open the gallery and would not see any of my pictures, save for a few that are on the Phone Storage.
All I did was 'unmount' and 'remount' the SD card in the settings menu under 'SD & Phone Storage.
I have not been able to pinpoint the exact cause of the external SD mount getting jacked, but it might be around the USB debugging, or setting your phone to usb disk drive mode.
Anyway, a quick unmount/remount, and all my pictures were back in the gallery. I hope the same works for you, good luck!
There was also an issue where if you where flashing boot.IMG through hboot they were being ereased. Check out dsb kernel thread over at team bamf.

I was just reading that thread!
I think they were talking about the internal card and not the external though. Still, something to watch out for. Always good to make a back up of everything before flashing.
Sure surprised me. The update left everything else intact. The Gallery app doesn't even have my Picasa photos either. I can choose Picasa and it shows the folders, but every album has no content in it.
Update: after a refresh a couple of times the gallery app finally agreed I had albums and photos in Picasa. Still no sign of any photo that was previously on my phone. Even a photo I took in the morning right before I updated the phone has disappeared.
Anyone else notice this?
Are you sure they are missing from the sd card? An OTA update never touches the sd card.
Use a root explorer and see if your photo's are still on your sd card, if you can see them then either your sd card needs to be formated or it could be bad.

Thanks. Found the photos using a file explorer. Can use the file explorer to open the photos using the Gallery app. Apparently they hard coded a change in the Gallery app to where it looks for photos though, because I can see an photo I've take since the update, but there appears to be no way to tell the Gallery App to find and display the prior photos right where they were originally stored on my SD card.
Anyone have an "easy" way to fix this?
Comments withdrawn
Once the File Explorer proved the original photos were still on board, I simply plugged the phone into my PC and moved them to where the camera/gallery app are currently saving/finding photos. Took a moment to thin out and sort them as well. Could have done all this with the File Explorer, but much easier on the large screen of my PC.
Ok so tonight, I decided to clean up my SD card. I had noticed that some how I had 1500 pics on my internal SD card, SO I moved them over to my external one and cleaned everything up a bit, combining all the folders. Now when I go into my phone and SD card, all the pics are TINY in size. LIke if the pic before was the size of the screen, now its 1x1 inch. I use wallpaper wizzadrii to set my wallpapers and its setting them all for TINY as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
you probably copied the thumbnails
I did now what?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
If you deleted the actual pictures and are just now stuck with the thumbnails try an app called DiskDigger. It'll find your deleted photos if it was just recently done. It won't go as far back as a PC would. But give it a shot. Oh yea, must be rooted for it I believe.

I wouldn't use an android app, I'd connect the phone to a PC, mount it, then use Recuva to scan it.

going to try that now.
Also, I just realized that all the pics were on my internal storage. I know I never set it up that way. I have always put them on my SD card. For future reference, how do i get everything to be automatically saved to the external SD card?
You mentioned that you cleaned up the images by copying them from your internal SD to your external one - if what you're trying doesn't work, do you remember which folder the files came from? You can just move them back but I have a sinking feeling that you're going to go to your Gallery and when you review your images, you'll see a bunch of white boxes with and 'x' inside which indicates that you're missing the image that was where it was supposed to be when the Gallery accessed your photos. I did something similar a while ago, trying to consolidate photos into a folder on my SD and when I moved the files, I had the white boxes I mentioned. The fastest way to fix the issue is to move ALL images off your SD, go to Gallery, erase ALL, then mount the SD card onto the PC and move images back onto the SD, go to Gallery, and let the thumbnails regenerate.
It's a pain but if you do this once, you'll not do it by accident again. Android does something similar to Apple's iTunes. You can have files in several folders and the program will 'find them' for you but if you move them, you can cause yourself quite a headache.
Good luck!

The app I posted works fine, I've used it before. It looks for only photos whole recuva will find any file ever...
For setting it to external SD that's an option in the camera
Another program you can try is testdisk. It's free and it has recovered everything I've ever needed and then some. I've accessed files on a drive that both windows and OS X told me was not formatted. Got all 450gb off of it and could also retrieve tons of deleted files. It's a computer app, not a phone app.
Can we have the option to save pictures and videos taken to be saved on the SD card without having to root the phone? I played with the camera software and couldn't find anything on this. If someone can help it would be really great

Till now we have no such option "to save pictures and videos taken to be saved on the SD card" without root.
there is always a workaround to move them to SD card till you get the support... patient.. Oxygen OS is still in evolving state...
What happens to app data? Does the folder Android/data go to sdcard or internal storage? Huge installations like Asphalt 8 put files in Android/data and that usually sits in the sdcard.

Could be because of Android 5 permissions to write on SD card?
