you can check your phone memory location using file explorer go to device, my documents, they should be in my Pictures.
Another way is go to Camera tab and press Album (left corner) this will give an overview of what is stored on your device and Storage card check each one
I suggest also going into your camera options and changing the storage option back to storage card

If you flashed a ROM then all prior data is technically unrecoverable. Sorry! ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATA!!!!

Oops I missed that you had upgraded your ROM bugger
You could try a data recovery software search google there are lots of freeware
Run the program choose your SD card and see if it finds any JPEG files
I have done this before and was successful
Good Luck

thanks but the photos must have been on the phone all the other photos are still on the card , can you run recovery software on the phone itself
cheers
marty

Ok i've found tons of software to recover from the card but none to recover from the phone itself does anyone know if any exists or a way to see the phone with pc software cos only the card shows up
thanks in advance
marty

I hate to tell you this but once you flash a rom it erases everything on the phone and rewrites it so those pics are gone.

There's no such thing as a photo recovery software for a flash ROM.
I'm sorry for your lost, but once you flash a different ROM, everything is wiped clean. It happens to the best of us, OP. I had similar things happen on my Diamond. Just remember to go through your checklist of the things you need to backup/save before you update the ROM.

Ok strange things
i ran recovery software on the card and found photo's taken on the correct date,
recovered them to pc, can see a thumb nail of 1 which is the wedding but none open , anyone know good recovery software ? i've used kroll ontrack recovery pro
seems flashing the rom did do something to the card (i think)
note to self "always take out card when flashing "
thanks for all help
i live in hope

You wouldn't happen to move the HTC album cache to the SD card, did you?

I always get that error.. it still accesses sd card though.
Are you pressing the camera button firmly enough to select?....
You could always fastboot it to 2.2 (some other thread has the files needed).

Mobile is working but problem is Can't aceess SD card through recovery nor with Android

I would try flashing back to 1.6 and see if you can access sd card then, have you tried a different card? If you kbow someone else with an android phone pop your sd card in theirs and see if it works... you could also copy important files and try formatting it? Let us know how you get on?

Make sure that the sim and sd card are inserted properly and close the back cover tightly before turning the phone back on.
Sent from my XPlay using XDA App.

After a few reboots, it'll find them.

Okay the memory card is working but still i can't get the sim card to work :/ any solutions to this ? i've heard about some program like Setool that can repair but i can't find a download site where i can get a version that works for xperia play.

I have Motorola x play and after issues with my old sd card (32gb) being corrupted when I updated my phone, I managed to get the files off of my phone and then bought a larger- 128gb sd card. I thought my problems would be solved, now I cant even format the new one and it comes up with a little message in a grey box at the bottom of the screen containing numbers and letter, essentially saying its failed every time I try and format it- i've tried formatting it as portable and internal, resetting my phone to factory settings, the same thing happen, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP SO I CAN USE MY PHONE PROPERLY AHHH?

phone won't detect sd card after marshmallow update

Hello everyone, I have a serious problem and I was searching over the internet to find a solution but failed. So I had a Ale L21c185b120, then I updated it with the firmware c185b525 middle East and African version available on the Huawei consumer pk page. After the update everything was fine, all my apps, files, sd card was there. But I noticed that phone was a bit slow so I decided to factory reset it. I took the Sd card out of the phone, also the card tray was out and I did a factory reset. Here starts the problem. When phone rebooted and I put the card again, nothing happens and card was not read by the phone. There was not a single error etc like card is damaged etc. It's just like phone doesn't give a damn either sd card is in or out. I checked sd card in another phone and also in Pc. It's been read by both means card is perfectly fine. Even I formatted the card from Pc but still in vain. Also no other card is being detected by the phone now. I just wanted to confirm is it a firmware or hardware problem?
BTW phone went on notifying me of new updates and now it's on b572. Plz help?

...

Yes its updated, its now on c185b572. Still problem is there. i am not able to find a solution so it means i can't save a trip to service center.

...

Hopefully.. thanks for ur time bro..
