Invalid or Unsupported Image Format Recover CS50 - c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdint.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
// open memory card
if(argc > 2 )
{
printf("Usage: ./recover image");
return 1;
}
FILE *file = fopen(argv[1], "r");
FILE *img;
// repeat until end
int i = 0;
// 512 bytes into buffer
uint8_t buffer[2048];
char *filename = malloc(8);
// if start of new jpeg
while(fread(&buffer, 512, 4, file)) // read card
{
if(buffer[0] == 0xff && buffer[1] == 0xd8 && buffer[2] == 0xff && (buffer[3] & 0xf0) == 0xe0) // if start new jpeg
{
// if first
i++;
sprintf(filename, "%03i.jpg", i);
img = fopen(filename, "w");
fwrite(&buffer, sizeof(uint8_t), 1, img); // fixed
}
//else
else
{
// if still reading jpeg
if(img != NULL)
{
fwrite(&buffer, sizeof(uint8_t), 1, img);
}
}
}
//close
free(filename);
fclose(file);
return 0;
}
I think my code is pretty close to being done but the images returned are invalid or unsupported image format. It compiles fine and it returns 12 images. I do not want to look at a solution to fix this. Where did my code mess up?

RECOVER code returns 51 jpegs and are incorrect i need some cues

So I'm trying CS50 Recover exercise (where you need to search for jpg files in a memory card and whenever you find one- you open a new file and write the jpg found to the new file). My code compiles and returns 51 jpegs instead of only 50 and all of them are incorrect. Please, I need some cues on what to focus at and fix/replace.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdint.h>
typedef uint8_t BYTE;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
// Check for valid usage
if ( argc != 2)
{
printf("Usage: ./recover IMAGE\n");
return 1;
}
// Check for valid image
FILE *image = fopen(argv[1], "r");
if (image == NULL)
{
return 1;
}
BYTE buffer[512];
int i = 0;
char new_image[8];
FILE *output;
FILE *output1;
while (fread (buffer, 1, 512, image) == 512)
{
// IF Start of a JPEG
if (buffer[0] == 0xff && buffer[1] == 0xd8 && buffer[2] == 0xff && ((buffer[3] & 0xf0) == 0xe0))
{
sprintf(new_image, "%03i.jpg", i);
//if first JPEG
if ( i == 0)
{
output = fopen(new_image, "w");
fwrite(buffer, 512, 1, output);
i++;
}
// if not first JPEG
else
{
fclose(output);
sprintf(new_image, "%03i.jpg", i);
output1 = fopen(new_image, "w");
fwrite(buffer, 1, 512, output1);
fclose(output1);
i++;
}
}
// if not start of a JPEG
else
{
output = output1 = fopen(new_image, "w");
fwrite(buffer, 1, 512, output);
}
}
fclose(image);
}

recover problem: file format not supported error

I'm trying to solve this problem which consists of reading data from a "memory card" and write it into new readable jpg files.
I'm getting 50 files named correctly as far as I can tell but their data is incorrect. to me it looks like it should be writing into each jpg the data read into the buffer from the card or argv[1] but I'm guessing I'm missing something and I can't figure out what.
this is what I wrote so far:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdint.h>
typedef uint8_t BYTE;
int is_jpg(BYTE(buffer[]))
{
if (buffer[0] == 0xff && buffer[1] == 0xd8 && buffer[2] == 0xff && (buffer[3] & 0xe0) == 0xe0)
{
return 1;
}
else
{
return 0;
}
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
BYTE buffer[512];
//checks argument validity
if (argc != 2)
{
printf("Usage: ./recover image\n");
return 1;
}
FILE *file = fopen(argv[1], "r");
//printf("continuing program\n");
//checks if the file exists
if (file == NULL)
{
printf("No file found\n");
return 2;
}
int file_count = 0;
char file_name[8];
//sprintf(file_name, "%03d.jpg", file_count);
FILE *image;
while (fread(buffer, 512, 1, file) == 1)
{
if (is_jpg(buffer) == 1)
{
if (file_count != 0)
{
fclose(image);
}
sprintf(file_name, "%03d.jpg", file_count);
image = fopen(file_name, "w");
fread(&buffer, 512, 1 , file);
fwrite(&buffer, 512, 1, image);
file_count++;
}
else if (file_count > 0)
{
fwrite(buffer, 512, 1, image);
}
//fwrite(&buffer, 512, 1, image);
}
}
When you detect the header, you do an extra fread [after the image = fopen(file_name, "w"); call].
You want to write the header to the output file/stream. But, the extra fread trashes the header data and the first block of the file is data and not the header as you desire.
You only want the fread at the top of the loop.

Does "if" Interrupt a "while" function?

I'm trying to solve the problem sets of CS50.
Task is, to recover jpegs from data.
My code produces jpegs, but it seems to take just one chunk of 512 bytes instead of the whole picture.
Does my "if" interrupt my "while" condition.
Here my code
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdint.h>
const int FAT_SIZE = 512;
typedef uint8_t FAT [FAT_SIZE];
typedef uint8_t BYTE;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc != 2)
{
printf("Usage: ./recover card.raw\n");
return 1;
}
// Open files and determine scaling factor
FILE *input = fopen(argv[1], "r");
if (input == NULL)
{
printf("Could not open file.\n");
return 1;
}
FAT fats;
int number = 0;
char filename[8];
FILE *jpg;
// Going through the input file
while (fread(&fats, 512, 1, input))
{
if (fats[0] == 0xff && fats[1] == 0xd8 && fats[2] == 0xff && (fats[3] & 0xf0) == 0xe0)
{
if (number == 0)
{
sprintf(filename, "%03i.jpg" , 0);
jpg = fopen(filename, "w");
number++;
fwrite(&fats,512, 1, jpg);
} else {
fclose(jpg);
sprintf(filename, "%03i.jpg" , number);
number++;
jpg = fopen(filename, "w");
fwrite(&fats,512, 1, jpg);
}
}
}
fclose(input);
fclose(jpg);
return 0;
}
I found a solution , but I want to understand, why my code is wrong
I didnt write following code. It's written by JosephR , it's just for comparision.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdint.h>
typedef uint8_t BYTE;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc != 2)
{
printf("Usage: ./recover image\n");
return 1;
}
else
{
// Open card.raw
char *input_file_name = argv[1];
FILE *input_pointer = fopen(input_file_name, "r");
if (input_pointer == NULL)
{
printf("Error: cannot open %s\n", input_file_name);
return 2;
}
// Initialise variables
BYTE buffer[512];
int count = 0;
FILE *img_pointer = NULL;
char filename[8];
// Repeat until end of card:
while (fread(&buffer, 512, 1, input_pointer) == 1)
{
// If start of a new JPEG (0xff 0xd8 0xff 0xe*):
if (buffer[0] == 0xff && buffer[1] == 0xd8 && buffer[2] == 0xff && (buffer[3] & 0xf0) == 0xe0)
{
// If not first JPEG, close previous
if (!(count == 0))
{
fclose(img_pointer);
}
// Initialise file
sprintf(filename, "%03i.jpg", count);
img_pointer = fopen(filename, "w");
count++;
}
// If JPEG has been found, write to file
if (!(count == 0))
{
fwrite(&buffer, 512, 1, img_pointer);
}
}
fclose(input_pointer);
fclose(img_pointer);
return 0;
}
}

Segfault cs50 pset4 recover

I'm always getting a segfault when trying to run the code.
I think it is caused by the last lines fclose(file) and fclose(img), but I don't really seem to understand why exactly.
If I delete both lines nothing happens.
Could someone please explain to me why segfault is called and why it is not creating new .jpg's?
(I have to implement a program that recovers JPEGs from a forensic image)

CS50 pset4 Recover, got a segmentation error

I got a segmentation fault with this code. Can anyone help? I have tried a couple of ways but still could not solve the problem. I tried replacing FILE *img = NULL by FILE *img, but it gives another error said variable 'img' is uninitialized when used in fwrite(buffer, 512, 1, img)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cs50.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
//Open memory card
if (argc != 2)
{
printf("Usage: ./recover image\n");
return 1;
}
FILE *file = fopen(argv[1], "r");
if (!file)
{
return 1;
}
//Read 512 bytes into a buffer
int counter = 0;
unsigned char buffer[512];
char filename[8];
FILE *img = NULL;
while (fread(buffer, 512, 1, file) == 1)
{
if (buffer[0] == 0xff && buffer[1] == 0xd8 && buffer[2] == 0xff && (buffer[3] && 0xf0 == 0xe0))
{
//If first JPEG
if (counter == 0)
{
//open a new file
sprintf(filename, "%03i.jpg", counter);
img = fopen(filename, "w");
//write the array into the new file
fwrite(buffer, 512, 1, img);
counter++;
}
//if not first JPEG
else
{
//close the file
fclose(img);
//open a new file
sprintf(filename, "%03i.jpg", counter);
img = fopen(filename, "w");
//write the array into the new file
fwrite(buffer, 512, 1, img);
counter++;
}
}
//Else, if already found new JPEG
else
{
fwrite(buffer, 512, 1, img);
}
}
//Close any remaining files
fclose(img);
fclose(file);
return 0;
}
When this if (buffer[0] == 0xff && buffer[1] == 0xd8 && buffer[2] == 0xff && (buffer[3] && 0xf0 == 0xe0)) is not true (as with the first read), what does program do?
This comment //Else, if already found new JPEG needs to be put into code; ie the following write needs to be conditional.
