xnotte: the files are encrypted using AES-ECB, so the contents is random. It is unlikely that the file signature will remain constant. Additionally, reading your phone's flash memory to find deleted .nomedia files will significantly increase the wear-and-tear on the NAND, potentially shortening its lifespan. I would not recommend doing that.

You can use inotify to copy the .nomedia file when it is received by snapchat. Functions to use inotify are available in the android.os.FileObserver class. If you copy the file to the SD card before it is deleted you can decrypt it later using the techniques described previously in this thread.

Okay folks for me on the Moto X rooted and updated snapchat location for .nomedia is "\data\data\com.snapchat.android\cache\received_image_snaps" was unable to move the .jpg.nomedia files to desktop. But used share email method and downloaded them. Now when change the file from ".jpg.nomedia" to just ".jpg" when opened with picture viewer their is no image, so it is encrypted. Now I need help I using windows and need guidance on how to de crypt the file to view it? Windows 7 64X OS.

Snapchat new decryption algorithm

Hi guys, I wrote a script to obtain a copy of the unseen images from Android Snapchat.

The script is at github.com/programa-stic/snapchat-decrypt

Snapchat 5.0.34.nn version now encrypt images with AES CBC using a random generated key which is stored in an ecrypted file named 'bananas' under the 'cache' folder. This file decryption key is predictable ( md5(android_id + 'seems_legit'). For more information about Snapchat innerworkings you can read the README.

Hope you enjoy it =)

Snapchat images

Thanks for the explanation. I did find the video folder & as you said, the videos ended with a mp4.nomedia format. I tried copying them & renaming to .mp4 but the videos don't work. Also, I actually wasn't able to find the photos folder. I used a file manager. I really want to know where the images that I send on snapchat are stored? I am not keen on finding the received images but the ones that are sent. Would really, really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Search

So I tried to connect my phone to my laptop and search through the file tree, no luck, so instead with my phone folder open I searched *.nomedia and up popped all of my snapchat photos and videos.

unfortunately even though it allowed me to copy them to my computer, and renaming the file name to .jpg i am still unable to view any of them, they all have the files size which I would expect, but obviously I need a simple way to decrypt them on my laptop, suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You won't find a simple way. It is encrypted with a closed proprietary algorithm that corrupts the image after it is viewed. You could just use xposed with the right modual and it will save the images and videos in a readable format.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikodem:
So there is currently no easy way of getting into the .nomedia files of the snapchat? I use SaveMySnaps usually for saving snaps (like to have my stuff archived), but it does not save pictures from the chat and I have some of these in .nomedia format. Help! ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Use keepchat. This automaticlly save the pics. Mind you this will only work until 5.0 as xposed doesnt work on ART and most likely never will. Also Sanpchat is working on ways to prevent this and other things from working at all as it defeats the purpose.

How to download an image you sent through snapchat messenger

Okay before I start I'm relatively new to the de-encryption of snapchat nomedia files types, and through numerous attempts haven't had any luck yet. I have managed to get ahold of some of the nomedia files, and saved them as a back-up so I don't have to worry about losing them. The one question I have is that I noticed that many of you have said you can only gain access to the content (nomedia files) before you look at them, but what about downloading after you have already viewed the photo or video and saved said message with snapchats newest feature of saving messages. Since I assume the data is there how would I retrieve it, being its saved by snapchat messenger. I have a photo example hopefully it clears up.

You mat have issue there as snap chat has been blocking root users now for a while.

Yes they are, but if you are logged in before rooting, then you will be in safe, Casper.io is a third party app that can login to snap chat, but if you want to login both apps at the same time you need to use root in casper and in this case you will not been banned, but this method need to detect login session that can be found in that folder

Yeah I know, that is how I use it. I was just looking up Casper (I only use snap chat for my kids as no adults I know will use it lol) seems people are still getting banned from its use. Snap chat is working hard to block things like this.

If opening it temporarily helped, then I would suspect the screen cable may be loose. That is the large brown flat ribbon on the motherboard.

Sounds like the display drivers (the hardware) have failed. I think it's warranty return time, but maybe someone else can come up with an idea.

Warranty return is when the little sticker isn't broken, and you need to break it to get to the display connector.

Doesn anyone have a good source for warranty stickers? There must be special factories that make them. I'd like to convince one of these factories I do procurement for some major electronics firms, and get tons of different samples.

Two answers...

Do companies in Europe really check this? I've opened exchanged quite a number of products that I've opened, never a question. I always figured those were there as a deterrent, nothing else. Actually come to think of it, I'm not sure that US laws would allow a company to void a warranty for opening a product unless it could be proven that it caused the failure.

On my US unit, the only sticker is on the screw on the MB at the top of the unit. You don't have to remove this to remove the display cable from the MB, only to remove the MB from the device.
