Camera photos won't save to iPhone: fix
Several users have reported an issue in which photos taken with the iPhone's built-in camera will not save to the device, vanishing immediately after they are taken.
The most successful fix for this issue we've seen thus far is as follows:
Restore your iPhone using iTunes, but do not restore custom settings data from the computer-stored backup after the restore process is complete. Do not set up as a new iPhone, and do not restore from backup -- just disconnect the iPhone when prompted to make this choice. Note that you'll temporarily lose text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, etc with this method,.
Try taking a photo -- it should properly save to the device.
Connect your iPhone again, and in iTunes, restore your personal information from the backup when prompted.

Navigate to var/mobile/Media and issue this command.
chown -R mobile DCIM
No need for restoring or backups or anything.
You need a wi fi to connect your Iphone to phone zap. click on Take a picture and take a photo.
It takes the photo and displays that as well. You can checkout the photon phonezap website also.
Try clicking some more pictures and check the white boxes in phone. Photos are actually there.
Then go to your camera, click and photos are there.

Or you can ssh into your iPhone and issue a command.
Navigate to var/mobile/Media and issue this command.
chown -R mobile DCIM

Just instead of SSHing into iphone I used mobile terminal (available in Cydia). Here is the full list of commands that need to be issued (commands should be typed as posted below because terminal commands are case sensitive):
su root
Password: alpine
cd /var/mobile/Media
chown -R mobile DCIM
Thanks!

(8 Comments)My camera roll suddenly stopped saving pictures.
After hours of searching I tried to download CameraPro to fix my problem but I couldnt find it for the 3.0 (I tried in my friend's iphone that has the 1.1.4 and had a similar problem and worked fine :) )
I find an app in Cydia called SwapCameraRoll that creates a new folder and now I can save my pics there, my old pics were not erased but I can only see one folder at the time but still there. So try it it is a simple solution. Hope this may help someone else!
