File not saving as ParseFile, Android

I am attempting to save a photo Parse. The photo is taking, and I can preview it, however, I am not seeing the file on the Parse backend.

Here is my code:

* returning image / video
         */
        private File getOutputMediaFile(int type) {

            // External sdcard location
            String appName = CameraActivity.this.getString(R.string.app_name);
            File mediaStorageDir = new File(
                    Environment
                            .getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES),
                    appName);

            // Create the storage directory if it does not exist
            if (!mediaStorageDir.exists()) {
                if (!mediaStorageDir.mkdirs()) {
                    Log.d(appName, "Oops! Failed create "
                            + appName + " directory");
                    return null;
                }
            }

            // Create a media file name
            String timeStamp = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss",
                    Locale.getDefault()).format(new Date());
            final File mediaFile;
            if (type == MEDIA_TYPE_IMAGE) {
                mediaFile = new File(mediaStorageDir.getPath() + File.separator
                        + "IMG_" + timeStamp + ".jpg");
            } else {
                return null;
            }




            final ParseFile photoFile;

            FileInputStream fileInputStream=null;

            byte[] bFile = new byte[(int) mediaFile.length()];

            try {
                //convert file into array of bytes
                fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(mediaFile);
                fileInputStream.read(bFile);
                fileInputStream.close();

                for (int i = 0; i < bFile.length; i++) {
                    System.out.print((char)bFile[i]);
                }

                System.out.println("Done");
            }catch(Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();

            }


            // Save the image to Parse
            photoFile = new ParseFile("profile_photo.jpg", bFile);
            photoFile.saveInBackground();

            mCurrentUser.getCurrentUser();
            mCurrentUser.put("ProfilePhoto", photoFile);
            mCurrentUser.saveInBackground();

            return mediaFile;
        }

I am using this as a reference: https://www.parse.com/docs/android/guide#files I also realize I need to get the data in byte format. So I am attempting to do that, but may not be doing that correctly.

sample below uses apache httpClient rather than parse.android.SDK.saveInBackground() ... but it may help you with mapping the files bytes

                FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(mfile); 
                FileChannel fc = fis.getChannel(); // Get the file's size and then map it into memory
                int sz = (int)fc.size();
                MappedByteBuffer bb = fc.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, sz);
                data2 = new byte[bb.remaining()];
                bb.get(data2);
                ByteArrayEntityHC4 reqEntity = new ByteArrayEntityHC4(data2);
                httpPost.setEntity(reqEntity);
                fis.close();
