Iphone 4S wont save pictures to camera roll

[igalku]

Guys please help!
I restored my Iphone 4s from a backup from a previous iphone 4, everything is working fine, but the camera. pictures are not being saved!
I searched the web and tried any menthos, including deleting 3 files from PhotoData..and etc. I dont want to set it up as a new phone as i will lose all my sms ( more thab 1000!! )...Has anyone had this ? Does anyone have a solution??



Thanks alot!!

Restoring and setting up as a new iPhone is pretty much your only opion

igalku... i encountered the same problem but I was restoring after an ios upgrade to 5.1.1. This is rather late but I solved this after about 4 days...

Problem: After restore, pictures taken aren't saved on the camera roll and screen caps also do not save to camera roll.
Steps taken:
1. Jailbreak device (I jailbroke this only for the purpose of making edits onto the file system. If you can do this without jailbreaking, then you can do so. I think you can use iFunbox. If you do jailbreak, you can install iFile from Cydia
2. Launch iFile and browse to \var\mobile\media\photodata\MISC and open DCIM_APPLE.plist
3. Look for the line: DCIMLastDirectoryNumber. Underneath it should read "<integer>10?</integer>" where ? could be 0, 1, 2, etc. In my case it was 2 or read as "102"
4. Then still using iFile, browse to \var\mobile\media\DCIM\. Inside this folder I had 100APPLE. I just pressed the right arrow to edit it and changed the name to 102APPLE. I did this to follow the "102" indicated in step 3 above.
5. Went back to my camera app, and started shooting. It worked!

I don't know if this works for you but it sure did for me. Good luck.
