Not cheap.
But if you really had that many irreplaceable docs/images/music, and especially that many family pics that you could not lose, and kept them on the phone, what were you going to do when/if your phone was stolen?
But back up, back up, and back up....it's freeMobileMadness002 likes this.08-20-14 01:09 PMLike 1 - You never backuped all that data and blame your BlackBerry? Also what's the brand of your SD card and class?

As for retrieving the data, I assume you tried checking the card in another device or a computer so unless you want to try and pull it back with a SD recovery program, which generally aren't cheap for anything worth its salt, then the data is gone. Your 'Other Data' issue can be solved by wiping the device.Dave Bourque and Carl Estes like this.08-20-14 01:11 PMLike 2
- Wow, I am really kinda shocked that your post was shut down so quickly, especially when other CB users were trying to reply with possible options... trying to reply before this one gets shut down....
Have you tried the following?:
Remove the SD card and do a hard reset of the BB (volume + &-)
Re-insert the SD card once device has booted
I ask this because although I am running a Z10, I had the same type of issue - turns out the OS was not seeing my SD card "correctly" and once I inserted it back, along came all my pictures and purchased music and I immediately did a backup using Link and USB cable and copied the entire contents of the card (which DID show up as Drive letter "Y" on my laptop).
Also, if connected to your PC, can you explore the SD card as a new drive? If so, what does it show?
Just some thoughts to try and help bro - if perchance anything above works, immediately back up your SD using Windows explorer as copying to a new directory on your PC/Laptop.
Good luck...08-20-14 01:17 PMLike 3 -

"Once You Go Black You Never Go Back"08-20-14 01:23 PMLike 0 - Yea I've rebooted to the point where I'm surprised I even have any battery life left lol. Gonna try plugging into PC to see what happens. I simply don't understand why my stuff is other data. These are important files and this BlackBerry Z30 corrupted them
"Once You Go Black You Never Go Back"
The files may not be truly corrupted, depends on what you see after a hard boot with the card out and then inserting it back in, as well as what Windows Explorer sees...Carl Estes likes this.08-20-14 01:26 PMLike 1 - I've never had a card become corrupted, but that seems to be what happened to you.
Edit: to clarify what zephyr said, turn off device, remove sd card, turn on device - wait - insert sd card then wait for indexing.
If that doesn't work, make sure you enable USB mass storage in settings > storage and access
Plug device into computer and see if you can browse the drive
You can try using windows to right click on the drive, properties, check & repair the disk. Probably won't work though.
In the meantime, while you try to recover your data... just buy a new card and this time make backups and use windows to defragment it periodically08-20-14 01:26 PMLike 0 - Yea I tried the reset process. Seems like there's no hope. I always thought apple people were in a Cult and blind but after seeing my previous post get shut down and being told that it's not the phone that caused the issue I'm forced to believe that some Mods and people are even worse than apple fans. Clearly the phone caused this. Not me...
A backup would have helped but for what? So in another week it can do the same thing? But it's ok cause I have it backed up right? Lol let's be realistic. These phones need major help
"Once You Go Black You Never Go Back"08-20-14 01:28 PMLike 0 - But did you reboot with taking the SD card out and then placing it back in? Also, what OS are you running (forgot to ask that one)..

I've had this OS for a while now. Been slightly buggy but nothing memory related. Just 8 months ago I wiped my Z10 and it mysteriously wiped all my memory card data as if it was encrypted. so I believe BlackBerry has some issues reading cards

I had a friend who lost all of her pictures as you did, only on a digital camera. For some reason, she never backed up/copied to pc and carried it around for months. Needless to say, the surge protector fail, and spiked her camera, pc, and nothing was useable or recoverable.
She now transfers all bits to a pc, and 2 separate back up hard drives, one of which she keeps at her sister's in case of fire/theft, she will always have a copy.............zephyr613 likes this.08-20-14 01:33 PMLike 1 -

No, that was not your fault,
but keeping sensitive/precious docs unbacked up is.......

- Never understand why people blame the devices..... seen a number of Android phones with same issue..... not the fault of the manifactures..... it is like saying all Sony TV are worthless just because your brand new one died a couple of days after purchasing it..... Bad news to the OP but any device can "Kack" for no particular reason.....Repair computers for a living and see countless people who's harddrive crashed for no reason...lost all their data because they did not back up... if you do not back up your systen on any device,,,,, and you lose everything.....the only one to blame is the user.....Carl Estes likes this.08-20-14 01:39 PMLike 1
