I have searched vigorously for a similiar problem with my phone and have found nothing. Ever since the Kit Kat update select applications do not have access to my photo gallery. Applications include Adobe Photoshop and the One's own messaging app. When I choose to select a photo from my gallery it simply takes me back to the album page when a photo is selected. This continues in a loop until I get frustrated and decided the photo didn't need to be edited or sent in the first place. Twitter however has no problem uploading photos from my gallery which I find quite odd. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
As for the root questions I want to know what I can do with my phone. I'm on a Verizon stock htc one on 4.4 with s-on and a locked bootloader. I am unsure how to proceed with my phone. When I attempt to unlock my bootloaded I am confronted with the 160 error code. Should I purchase Sonics java s off or not? I am completely lost. Again any suggestions are appreciated
Thanks for your time and understanding

Its better not to mess with s-off and bootloader unlocking. Just backup your data and photos and make a factory reset
Factory reset would fix the photo problem?

Its a possible solution. Just remember to backup all your data before factory reset
I did a factory restore and the problem is still present

I don't understand how you could get this problem without rooting, but normally this is caused by screwing up the permissions of the data in /sdcard (copying data to /sdcard when the phone is running recovery rather than Android). To test this, rename /sdcard/DCIM to /sdcard/DCIM.bak, take some new photos, and see whether applications can access them properly.
The normal way to fix this is to change the permissions with the shell, but since you aren't rooted, you may have to copy the files to your computer then copy them back. You can use "adb pull"/"adb push" or try to copy using the easier and less reliable methods.

Hello!
I recently flashed the google edition rom (probably an unbranded version of cyanogenmod) to my htc one, which alone brought me problems. Mostly due to the file system being used in a different area on my phones storage through the new rom. I could not listen to any of my music or view any of my images from my previous stock rom, therefore I took it upon myself to go into a file viewer and move the files from the old location/directory into the one that the new google edition rom was using. I was then able to see/interact with my files and listen to the music I had previously had on it and view all of my pictures and videos. After having the rom for a while and getting sick of some of the lag issues it had, I reverted back to stock after moving my files back to the old directory that I knew the stock rom would use. But immediately after I booted back into stock, I noticed that I couldn't see any of my images or documents again, or my music. Through searching through root browser, I found the files in the proper directory, but am not able to move them to different ones in an attempt to correct this problem. Yes, root browser has been granted permission by SU, which is updated to the latest version. Not only that, but with all of this, my stock camera will not, at all, save images that I have taken or video. When attempting to record video, it crashes and doesn't give me an error or anything.
I feel that through all of my struggles, that I am probably going to have to revert the phone to completely stock, but am feeling iffy about that, considering the process of correcting this could be much simpler with the right help. If anyone at all has had a similar problem, and can help me, please do.
Thank you in advance!
To start I broke my holster this morning. So I put my phone in my pocket like everyone would do. I apparently didn't lock the phone first. (This of course being just after I rooted and installed some Root features such as Titanium Backup) This led to only God knows, my phone opening many apps including TiB and settings. Somehow google account syncing stopped working. I read some suggestions and tried them all including a factory reset. After the reset nothing changed now except I had a phone that had no contacts or anything else tied to google. I retried editing the hosts file in /etc. I cannot edit it with Root Browser, Root Explorer, or even after using another program called mount r/w r/o. I did another stupid thing by deleting the host file in an attempt to replace it with another I created. Only good news is now the google account will get past the screen that says i don't have a reliable connection to the server. Still cannot access the play store but I do now have calendar, contacts, and a few other things. Any ideas how I could write to /etc
Sincerely,
My stupid self.
P.S.
I already ordered another holster.
EDIT: I factory reset once more and play store started working. I did root again and the host file is still deleted.
If you're not worried about your apps and data, you could always ODIN back to stock and start over. It may not be the best way to go, but its definitely the easiest...I already did it 3 times since the root came out XD

I read if you have the OTA version you can't ODIN back since the newer firmware is not out. I didn't get to the phone in time when it OTA'd. I will probably do that when the newer firmware is out. I am not anywhere close to a dev. So if I am way off base correct me its the only way I learn.

Hi All,
So I've come to these forums a bunch seeing new rooting methods and just generally interested in androids in general but I'm having an issue that I can't seem to find addressed anywhere or at least I'm having no success currently getting this to work. So one of my clients has a verizon moto maxx running 4.4.4 kitkat. He used the phone to take a bunch of photo's and video of a trip he went on and when he was trying to move the data onto his computer he accidentally deleted it. Now the phone is a corporate phone, given to him by our company, so rooting isn't really an option and even if it was his bootloader isn't unlocked so I'd have to unlock it which would reformat the phone anyway. So I was wondering if anyone here has any suggestions on how I could recover his data which is very important to him without rooting and\or a root work around that I can do without unlocking the bootloader.
Thanks all you're my best hope,
Ber

Technically, the only the international versions of this device are called the "Moto Maxx", the Verizon versions are called the "Droid Turbo". There are no root or bootloader unlock methods available for the Turbo.
He might be able to recover the data, depending on how he deleted it and what's he done since deleting it. If he hit a delete all button or something, then he might be good. That only really deletes the "hooks" to that data and makes the storage space the data exists on available to write on, because that's a lot faster than actually deleting all of the data. The only way the data really gets deleted is once that storage space is overwritten with new data.
There's no way of knowing if the data is still there to be recovered, and you need to use 3rd party software to do so. My friend has used this service before with success: http://www.wondershare.net/ad/dr-fo...geK_vorCLp-HKwHo11cOy-LBrNS29vKP50aAoOg8P8HAQ
I've never personally used it, nor do I know if it costs anything. It doesn't appear to, but I haven't installed it.
Try using Puran File Recovery. I've used it in the past when i've accidently deleted a file off my phone. I believe it's free to use.
@joshm.1219
I used Dr. Fone and it said the phone was not a serviceable model. It still said it could recover the data but required the phone to be rooted since it wasn't a normal model for it. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hi there, I am a huge noob (as in I just started trying to retrieve my sms messages today) and am hoping Puran can help me... After trying to root my phone for a long time I found out that Android Maxx 4.4.4 can't be. So now I'm looking at recovery options that don't require the phone to be rooted. I downloaded Puran to my computer, but can't figure out how to run it on my phone. So I also tried to download it on my phone, but the file won't open.... How have you run it on your phone in the past? I am beyond desperate to recover these texts and any help you can provide will be HUGELY appreciated.
I mistakenly did a factory reset and I need to recover files. My device is not rooted and cannot be rooted (G925VVRU2OAF1), and the recovery tools I've come across while searching the forums require root to work fully. This also renders DiskDigger and Undelete useless to me. Is there ANY WAY possible for me to recover my files? Or I'm done for without root?
Hi
Here is your post(I mistakenly did a factory reset and I need to recover files. My device is not rooted and cannot be rooted (G925VVRU2OAF1), and the recovery tools I've come across while searching the forums require root to work fully. This also renders DiskDigger and Undelete useless to me. Is there ANY WAY possible for me to recover my files? Or I'm done for without root? )
and answer is given below
Many reasons may cause the data loss, such as, mistakenly tapping the “Delete” button when you are exploring the new features of S6.Thats why you should avoid the deleted button. The available backups is far enough to avoid data loss. To get back you can follow this link and i hope you will get your answer(http://www.jihosoft.com/android-recovery/galaxy-s6-data-recovery.html )
I feel like im in the twilight zone and there's all these body snatchers trying to make me pay 50 dollars to recover a ten minute video.
I'm in the same boat as OP. Was in Maintenance Mode and forgot that menu is select and not power. Also on OF1.
I've tried more things than I can count. My solutions thus far has been to just wait until somebody discovers a root method. Preferably something to bypass the locked bootloader altogether but...meh.
In the meantime, my S6 gathers dust as I don't want to chance overwriting anything.
Try some recovery professional app.
My wife's phone is in the similar boat.
Word from the wise- 1) turn OFF the "factory reset after 15 failed screen unlock attempts" security feature, or 2) NEVER let a young relative handle your phone when it's been locked.
My wife had already maxed out her backup storage, so there's a couple months worth of pics that are in danger of being forever lost if she dares use the memory.
And it's been updated to 6.0.1, so root options seem to be nil at this time. So frustrating.
Probably not correct place, but hoping someone will help me out. Android 10 I have and want to root without wiping. Need to retreive photos videos that have been accidently deleted.

There are different file recovery tools available. For many methods, you do not need to root your device.
To get general guide to check basic recovery options first, check the following article:
