Hi seanmcne

What version were you running  RC or 1.51sp1?

I have just fixed orl1pcc Shield after many hours of work and learning, but this sounds the same , all files missing or deleted, i'm thinking that may be the Shield is trying to do a firmware upgrade  or some how the system restore script is being called which deletes all files except itusrestoreimage. I have found that if the restore script is run and a restart is done then the Shield has not files, but if the restore script is run and when it asks for a restart  you do a factory restore instead (power down , hold pin in for 30 seconds whilst powering back up ) the Shield boots up with files in the right place. The trouble is once files are missing you have to copy over the overlay folder and run  the restore script. I'm still learning what the Shield is doing on start-up, but there is a fail safe mode which is read only but is only available during loading bootstage3. if you need help sorting just ask but i'm away for 4 day as from today.
