Help plz: accidentally used "Clear device"
 

I was checking the setting and stuff in my n900, i touched the "settings" and a menu came out that has " restore original settings"
"clear device" and "enter code to remove operator clock"
i hit the "clear device" by mistake and it deleted every thing except the applications, i keep a backup copy of every thing in it every time i put something new, but the backup files were also deleted.
Any help plz to get back the backuo files or to restore every thing as it was before what happened.:(

Good question!

I don't know if it may work or not, but you could try for plugging in your n900 to your computer in storage mode, and run a recovery soft on it.

I'm gonna make a little test right now to see if it works.

EDIT:

I just tested deleting a file (a video file) from the file manager, plugged in in usb storage mode, and run Recuva on it, and i could recover the file, also with some other deleted music files.

Hmm, isn't there a confirmation message that pops up before actually clearing MyDocs?

E: Yes, there is, not sure how you managed to click two buttons in opposite sides of the screen by mistake...

You can try a scan and see if your backup files can be recovered
Unless the clear device do a full wipe of the data, or you installed something that may overwrite the physical space where the backup files were stored, i think you would be able to restore it.

Good luck!
