okay, I'm almost too embarrassed to even post this...

I was flashing my XDA last night with the Developers Edition Rom, and that went smoothly. however, it was really late, and I wasn't paying any attention (lol) to what SD card was in my fone when it askedme if I wanted to format. Stupidly, I said yes I want to format, and then realized that the card inside was the nifty little 32 MB card that came with the phone from At&t that had all the cool games on it.

so my questions are:

1) does anyone know of any utils that can unformat a SD card?
2) does anyone happen to have that at&t card with the games/etc on it that they'd consider making a copy of?
3)does anyone have any other ideas of how I can get another copy of that data??

yeah, it's a petty problem, and I'm a dumbass for flashing my fone at 3:00am, but I'd still appreciate any help :)

It is possible to unformat a hard drive I believe as the data isnt overwritten, not sure how you would go about it with an sd card, I think its just the header that is changed so if you havent written to the card since format all the data will be there. You could try a disc doctor program such as norton and see which files you can salvage through your card reader.

nope...haven't written anythign to the card yet at all. I've got a copy of Norton utils someplace....I gues sI'll try and see if installing that on my desktop somehow lets me unformat on my SD card though the card reader, lol.

My phone did that to my little games flash, all by itself. I downloaded tons of utilities, but was not able to retrieve anything :(
