Has been a long day for me , sorry.

Safety first: If you have a linux pc available you could make a clone copy of the device via dd command. This would clone the whole partition to have a backup in the case something goes wrong

You could try to write the backup of the first sector (bootblock) to the partition
Code:
sudo gainroot
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=512 count=1 skip=6
fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p1
If no errors occur, reboot to check if your files are still intact.

You could install recovery-tools package and have testdisk try to read the partition, and hence recover the files to some external microSD. Here is a short walk-through for testdisk http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=16 , but this might be a time consuming procedure, if testdisk finds your files and folders.

Good luck!
