I just upgrade my mini to bigstorage. I did backup the original rom using a 256MB SD, a full backup with Sprite Backup and hoysync my PIM. BUT I FORGET those VERY IMPORTANT files inside original storage. How stupid I am? Now I want to know is it possible to get those files back? In what way? It's seems that the Sprite Backup doesn't include the storage.
Those files are really important (that's why they stored in storage, not sd), please help.

I hope this could helps (but I'm not 100% sure):

- Backup your previous ROM from SD to computer, if you didn't do that yet.
- Backup your current ROM to SD and then to computer.
- Backup all your other data, PIM etc.

Downgrade from SD ROM backup:

- Write your previous ROM to SD card and then update your pocket device from SD.

If you want to recover Extended ROM content do this:

- Hard reset your device and when configuration (align screen, time zone...) is done and you are asked to tap the screen, tap it and soft reset it immediately.
- Open Pocket File Explorer and you should see Extended ROM folder on root, if not repeat previous step
- Copy Extended ROM folder to some safe place :-)

Else if you want to recover usual Storage folder, if it appears after downgrade in Pocket File Explorer, copy it to safe place.

Upgrade back to your current ROM:

- Write your new ROM from computer to SD and then to pocket device and update again, than restore all your data backup.
