Awful bug, even after restoring my pictures the order of the photos is corrupted and the thumbnails are all gone. Now the movie camera no longer works. Blackra1n, how I miss thee.

Ahe wonderful you can try Stellar Phoenix Macintosh to recover your lost photographs from hard drives, memory cards, memory sticks, iPods and digital cameras. Loss of pictures from any of the above storage area primarily occurs due to human errors, virus infection.

Is there any hope in finding older back-up files (step 2)? I only see 1 back up file, which was from after the jailbreak.
