[Q] Sensation erased all data on SD upon update

[Prenihility]

Title says it all. I was prompted for an update on my phone. All data was erased on the card, i believe. Since my contacts are still intact. As well as the apps i've downloaded.

Why in the HELL did this happen?

I'm sure the question of getting my data back is out of the equation. Oh well... at least i can ask the former question.

What the hell happened?

Are you rooted or was this a ota update? All I can think of its possibly a faculty SD card. Was there any option to format SD card or was it a straight over the air update ? Seems like the SD was bad. Perhaps get another ad card to prevent this happening in the future. This is a guess. Very strange indeed. Never heard of this happening with a ota update. Best wishes.

Did you check the space remaining on your memory card? Maybe it's just a reading error after you updated.

Perhaps you want to manually mount your sd from the settings

Mount manually? ...errrm. No need to. Also, i have no idea what "rooted" means. I saw a notification for an update, so i updated. Also, like i said, the data is gone. There's no music, photos. Nothing that i've saved myself on the SD card. Just the apps i've gotten that are on internal memory. This has become a huge question, more than anything. I'm curious as to what in the hell made this happen. Also, as for suggesting the purchase of a new SD card. That's funny. I'm in no position to spend money on something that came with my phone, and SHOULD be working. If anything, my service provider should do that for me. I didn't do anything to the card. I updated the phone, and everything that was on it got erased.

Dude maybe your sd card is unmounted and you need to manually mount it... go to settings > storage scroll down and find mount sd card..

It's BEEN mounted. Was never un-mounted. Phone updated, SD got erased.

UPDATE: Ok...I've explored the phone on my PC, and found a folder called DCIM (generic digital cam folder name), and all my pictures were there. But when i go to the gallery on the phone, they don't appear there... ?!

As for my music, haven't found it.

Also, there's a folder named "LOST.dir"

But it's empty.
