Storage Card Missing Data following Recent Flashing of WM6 ROM!
 

This one was a real stumper!

I had my 2 Gig MiniSD San Disk in the port at the top of my Verizon Wireless VX6700... and it was LOADED with priceless bits of information, you know... photos I hadn't uploaded or copied to the desktop - yet; music files I always keep handy; video files of favorite movies, TV shows, and family; ring tones; numerous data files and proprietary programs for work - that I chose NOT to install on the PDA's main memory (for fear of losing them...!).

Here I was thinking that all I had to do was to install the latest WM6 ROM - compliments of the Good Gentlemen from this site - and I was back in business (save but for a few re-installations by way of ActiveSync*). Oh, not so Grasshopper! The installation and following reboot were without issue and the device loaded fine. Simple modifications to the main screen were made, and as I was selecting the photo for the background... I... uhn... wait a minute...! What the f**k...?!? Where the HELL did ALL of my photos go... and my audio files - where ARE they...? Not just one of 'em, but the whole freekin' lot of 'em... GONE! And - not just them, either! Whole bunches of files AND programs!

This has never happened before... when I've uploaded and burned the latest Kitchen-of-the-month... I've ALWAYS left my storage card in the device, and never attempted to remove it. (I do throw a layer of tape over, to prevent any unfortunate pre-ejac... er, uhn... accidental releasing of the card).

Okay, just for shits and giggles, I'm admittedly a sucker for punishment (it's not enough that I occupationally choose to run into burning buildings or get someone else's uninvited bodily fluids all over me...) I RE-install and flash the latest WM6 kitchen (from VerizonGuy) and after booting - I discover that even MORE files are now missing... even some that I only minutes before uploaded to the drive! What the...??? I can't even click and drag - or copy and paste a selected file.. but, I CAN others...! What gives?!

Evidently, the road to wisdom is filled with many a pothole, and this is one of them, or so it seems. Am I alone on this path..?! Can I be the only one lost in the darkness...?? Helloooo...?! Is ANYONE monitoring this channel...?! Mayday! Mayday! Octoberfest, even...!!

*I've addressed a sudden issue regarding ActiveSync 4.5 that has also cropped up - in another posted thread.
Anyone out there....?!?!

I had my sprint 6700 completely erase the storage card with the stock rom, I always remove it when flashing the rom, look for recovery software designed for flash drives. I got all my data back, hopefully you will have similar luck.

Storage Card Recovery software
 

Hey... what is the name of the program that you used to recover your "lost" files - where did you get it and how much was it? Information is greatly appreciated, as it will surely help not only me, but many other folks!

Thanks for your kind reply.
