Hello,
Prepare yourself...unless you have a backup, you may well have lost all of your data. Backups are something that must be done proactively and as a precaution...not as a remedy.
In any event, given what you did (the WIPE had already started, and once started cannot be stopped), please try these drastic recovery measures:

KB27956 How to recover a BlackBerry smartphone from any state

You might be lucky regarding your data...depending on exactly how you did what you did and the selections you made while doing it, you might actually have a backup on your computer...it normally takes one during major update processes since it basically does have to wipe the device, reload the OS, reload the apps, and then reload the data. Search your hard drive for files with either IPD or BBB extension...any with a date/time near when this happened would be candidates for use in restoring your data.
Good luck!

  • Blackberry 9320 HELP PLEASE !!!!

    My blackberry can seem to turn on and all it does is the red light appear and the blackberry sign turn up and it load half way through and then the red light start flashing. sometimes it turn on but then it automatically closes within 1-5 min. i try to repair it in some repairing shop but all they are telling my is that it is a software problem and that they can do anything about it. 
    Thanks! 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You will need to wipe the device and try to reload the OS:
    1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/dow​nload_sites.jsp
    2. If you can, do a manual backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion and unplug BlackBerry. You can get BlackBerry Desktop Software here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    3. Download the OS file from step 1 to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Also check the following locations for vendor.xml files and delete any instances of the file:
    On Windows Vista/7 navigate to C:\Users\YOUR_USER\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (Where "YOUR_USER" is your username)
    On Windows XP navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML (Where "YOUR_USER" is your username)
    5.   Use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a complete backup, if possible) then after you get the error 507 (no OS installed) then proceed to next step.
    6. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader

  • CS5 to CS3 help needed now!

    Anyone out there with CS4? I need someone to help me save to CS3 so that I can get some work to my new boss. Please contact me at [email protected] asap please!

    Discussed to death...in short you can't.
    You'll need to export to IDML, open in CS4 and export that to INX.
    By the time you're done there's a reasonable chance that your layout will be unrecognizable.

  • Indesign and Photoshop?HELP NEEDED NOW!!!

    How do I make a copied photoshoped picture bigger without distorting features in indesign? Please help I have  this project due in a couple days and am starting and don't know much about indesign!

    Anytime you enlarge a bitmap bigger than 100% of its pixel dimensions there will be pixelation. It is only as good as it will get at 100% of its original size.
    When you place an image directly on a page its initial placement is at 100%. The scale percentage has nothing to do with pixel dimensions, but rather the image's saved inch dimensions.
    So these 3 images are all at 100%, have the same pixel dimension (1200x750), but have been saved at different pixels per inch 72, 254, 500. The 500ppi image could be scaled to 160% and still have an effective resolution of over 300, and the 72ppi image has a scale of 100%, but not enough resolution for most print applications.

  • Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verif

    Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

    Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
    Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

  • Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords are not working now can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS

    Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Blackberry 9320 shuts off and needs to remove the battery to turni it on.

    My BlackBerry 9320 keeps shutting off even if my battery is half full. Is this unit/device related, battery related, or OS related defect? Thanks.

    Hello jrcalara
    Well.. No one can predict or guess that way unless you  try it yourself some workaround regarding your problem. It may be an hardware / Software / Battery issue but somtime a bad app can also create such issues . So can confirm if recently installed any application before this Problem started ? Think carefully !
    If you have then try to boot your device on Safe Mode , On Safe Mode delete any application which you think might be responsible for this issue , from Options > Device > Application Manegement > locate and delete any newly installed 3rd party application , it might help in resolving your issue :
    KB17877 : How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    If above fails then try a Good fully charged Batttery and test it on your device , it will reveal if the problem is within your device or the battery itself .
    If it's a device issue then you can try an OS reload , which will fix any software glitch .For that you can refer to this Knowledge Base :
    KB03621 : How to Reload BlackBerry Device Software and application using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    If even after an OS reload problem continues then you can consider your device had a hardware issue , for that you have to visit your service provider to get it fixed.
    So, try those thing it will let you know the exact cause.

  • HELP! My Blackberry 9320 keyboard won't let me type with some keys!

    My Blackberry 9320 keyboard won't type the letters: Q, W, R, T, F, G, J, C, and V, my password contains R, please help me as I'm unable or use my Blackberry!

    Hi OllySpyrou
    If our BlackBerry ever got wet then we should not try to Turn it ON to see if it works . Should immediately remove the Battery , also SIM  and Media Card. We should place it in a bag of Uncooked rice which absorb the moisture . Should leave it for atleast 3 to 4 days unless we are sure that moisture has been completely absorbed . Then we should place our BlackBerry on any heat emitting surface like stabilizer , Or in the dashboard of a car on a sunny day. Before inserting the battery we should be sure that it is completely dry.
    Have you done this after your device got wet ?
    Still after following those steps it is not guarantied that our device will be trouble free and will perform as earlier , because when moisture or any liquid substance enter our BlackBerry  it starts corrosion which leads to problem like quick battery drainage , problem in typing and many more .
    In all condition we should try to avoid our BlackBerry from any moisture intrusion or any liquid , liquid or moisture is the worst enemy of our BlackBerry or any electronic devices. 
    If its already too late then you should visit any mobile repair shop to know if they can repair it .
    Good luck.
