Problem: Some of my pictures and videos no longer work and they show either one of the symbols (shown in attachments). I can't seem to figure out any sort of pattern other then the majority of them seem to be older pictures/vids. When I mount my phone to my computer it can locate problem files but cannot open them. "media player cannot open file because it is unsupported" or something to that extent.
I'm running Clean Rom 4.0 SE
I recently deleted some old TitBackups and some old Rom back ups....is it possible when I backed up it corrupted some of my files? I'm not positive if the pictures/vids were working before I had done this or after.
The file is probably corrupted. There have been a few threads where people have flashed things and lost pictures and videos on their phone storage.

So I've been looking in every file in my phone and I can't seem to find where vaulty hides the files. I saw on their website that there should be a folder that says vstdata-DONOTDELETE and I remember seeing this on my phone but now I don't see it. Maybe they changed their way of hiding the pictures and videos? Does anybody know?
Sdcard/DCIM/vault/pictures
That is were mine are stored.

Thank you sir. My SGS2 saved it in external card under DCIM. Not the internal. It's probably like that because I have AOKP.
Try this
Sdcard/DCIM/Vaulty/all images
Here there will be multiple files with extension *.vdata
Rename it to .jpg if image
And .3gp or .mp4 if video

Can you see them in on your phone at all

Is it only those two folders not showing?
Are both the internal and external SD card showing?
Are they, by some chance, marked as hidden?

In your Windows Explorer folder settings / options, there is an option to "show hidden files".
Also, you can view the info of a file or folder on your Android from a file browser.

do you have a file manager type app? can you see /sdcard/DCIM from that?
there isn't nessesarily a "sdcard/music" folder unless you created one, the media scanner will find music and photos no matter where they are stored. the files would be stored in /sdcard/download if you used the browser to download them, they may also be in folders that are created by apps if you use some mp3 downloader app.
the lack of */DCIM would be odd though. unless you use a 3rd party camera app.
Yeah I use root explorer and I can access it with no problem and on windows I already tried to show hidden files too.
Already tried going to stock.

If all else fails, try uploading the to Google drive then pulling them down to your PC.

If they're not hidden, I wonder why they don't show in Windows when the phone is plugged through USB...
Do you have a USB micro SD card reader dongle?
If so, try taking the card out of the phone and plug it directly into your computer.
If the files show, something on the phone (somehow) is messing something up.
If they don't show, there's some sort of issue with the card.
Here he is having your same problem:

They suggested deleting a .nomedia file somewhere in your sdcard and removing rom manager

The problem is that I don't use rom manager and the files don't show in my computer. In my phone I have no problems

You don't have to use it for the problem to show up. If it is installed it may be affecting it. Also, the .nomedia file is a hidden file so make sure show hidden files is turned on in your file explorer.

.nomedia isn't his problem.
He said everything shows fine when viewed on his phone.
He wants to view the files on his COMPUTER (pc) when the phone is linked with usb and storage mounted.
But those two folders won't show in WINDOWS.
The problem is entirely different from that thread.
Tavitos, have you tried plugging the SD Card directly to the computer with a dongle like I asked?
Posted from my Paranoia Infused Android, now featuring Butter flavored JellyBeans!
Oh I see, sorry. I misunderstood his situation.
That's quite strange though.. something similar has happened to me with my tablet before. Could somehow your usb connection be malfunctioning?
Maybe the cable or the ports?
What rom are you currently running? If the problem persists consider reflashing.

I'm running Aeon.
and the only issue is my internal. Not the external. You think it can be a driver issue?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
If the computer is popping up a folder at all when you plug it in, it wouldn't be the driver...
So they're on the internal SD?
Hmm... On a whim, take out the External card, boot up your phone, then hook it up to the computer and see if those folders show.

But formatting makes you lose everything! xD
Kidding, glad that fixed things. Still wonder what caused it in the first place...
Good to know you won't be having this problem any more, though!
First my battery died.
Then I powered back up.
Only to find all galleries contained nothing.
Sdcard was healthy, all files in tact.
Reboot / remount / rescan all didn't work.
Accidentally deleted all .nomedia files with a single click.
What fixed my galleries and playlist was clearing cache & fixing permissions from recovery.
Back to the bit where I deleted all .nomedia files.
I have readded .nomedia files to applicable folders using a third party app purely for convenience.
All folders in android/data are still showing up in 'choose image' dialogs.
Basically every app I have installed comes up as a gallery folder for its icon.
I've set my media gallery to hide these folders, but for choosing files from other apps its a bit annoying having to scroll through so many pseudo albums.
Any suggestions, or ideas why the nomedia files aren't doing their job anymore?

You need to rescan media again, if you haven't already, for it to pick up those .nomedia files.

Greetings,
Recent pictures dragged from my PC (Windows 8.1, 64 bit OS) to my Note Edge cannot not be seen using stock gallery app. I download jpeg, jpg files and folders containing jpeg's and jpg flies to the picture folder on the Device memory and to the picture folder in my SD card. The dragged and dropped files can be seen using the phone's file manager, but can't be seen using the Gallery app. Older pictures initially downloaded to my phone can still be seen using the Gallery app. My unit is running ver 4.4.4... Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
I posted something similar few days ago. No response.. No support.

Thanks for the heads up. I will contact Samsung's customer support and post my finding here.

Greetings all,
Upon conveying my issue with a Samsung Rep online, I got this resolution:
Put the pictures and folders not detected in the Gallery in the DCIM folder. This seems to work but I am not satisfied with this answer because I have some files and folders in a separate location that are detected by the Gallery app.
I initially performed a "soft reset (removed and replaced the battery after powering off unit)" with no change or resolution. Next, I cleared the Gallery app cache with no change. I then dragged and dropped a picture file (.jpg) from my pc to the Phone's DCIM folder. The picture was detected in the DCIM folder by the Gallery App. Then I cut and pasted a folder that wasn't detected by Gallery in the DCIM folder on my SD Card. The folder was detected. The pictures can be detected if you put them in the DCIM folder in either the phone or SD Card.
As I have mentioned before, I am not fully satisfied with this solution because I have pictures outside of the DCIM folder that are detected by the Gallery app, but this option seems to work.
