I believe this has been fixed in the latest version:

omg I have the latest version… anyone can help me restore zecwallet-light-wallet.dat, I dont have the Seed :(((((((

The seed is how you restore with ZecWallet lite, it doesn’t run a full node so there is no wallet.dat file.

Did you delete everything before trying to re-install? Is it perhaps still in your trash folder that you can retrieve?

Version 1.1.9 says it specifically fixes this issue, I’m not sure what else you can do to fix it.

What version are you on? New version was Released March 3rd. “This version of Zecwallet fixes an issue where some users would see the error “Failed to fill whole buffer””

Zecwallet.Lite-1.1.9-win its not fixed…

Ok, @adityapk00 will have to take it from here.

It’s going to be very hard to recover a wallet without the seed phrase.

I see you’ve filed an issue on GitHub, let’s follow up there.

Check your Email, Wallet is not Encryptet, maybe you can fix corruption
