    1. Always, always, always, always do a manual backup of the device before loading, installing, updating, upgrading, etc.

    2. Search your computer for a file with the name something like (LoaderBackup)11-20-2011.ipd. Search the whole computer.

    Hopefully, this backup file was created and you can use it to restore your data.

    If not, do you have other backups that you have done either on the computer or with an app such as BlackBerry Protect or SmrtGuard?

    If you haven't done any backups, then you are out of luck.

    Good luck.

    Open Desktop Manager. Click Device > Restore... from the top navigation. Then browse to the .ipd file with your backup.
