Thanks to all who had replied to the thread. I had been in touch with the Transcend guys for the same and they provided me the steps to get my device back in shape.
You need to have the serial no of the device handy for that.
This will make the device as a fresh (formatting low level) thus all your data would be lost.
Do let me know how can i upload that utility here.

Hi Friends,

Please find the utility which will help you to recover the trancsend Flash USB drives, if gone bad.
All you need is the Valid Serial No of the USB flash drive.
Refer the Link to find where the Serial No could be for your drive.
*www.transcendusa.com/Support/GetSerialNo.asp?FldNo=3&LangNo=0&PType

Find the utility @ *www.esnips.com/web/USBfiles/

usage is very easy and explained well in the user manual. If you still have the doubt PM me.

Thanks for all those replies

Regards,
Amit Kumar Malik

Hi Amit,
I have similar kind of issue with my 8 GB Transcend JF V30 Flash Drive, i have downloaded the tool and the manual, but when i run the tool a command windows pops up and closes. I am not getting the screen which is mentioned in the Manual. If i try to run the tool from the command line it says "Program too Big to fit in Memory" Please let me know what can be the issue.
Is there any other way to download or run the tool.

Thanks & Regards,
Pavan Ram.

Hi Pavan,

I am not very sure about why the utility is not working for your 8Gb Flash.
If I remember correctly, Internet connectivity is required for the utility to work.
I had re-uploaded it to "*www.esnips.com/web/USBfiles/"
you can also try to get in touch with the "Transcend support" they are really helpful.

support email id: techsupport@transcendusa.com

Hi Realdan,
you can find the location of the S/N on your device
*www.transcendusa.com/Support/...LangNo=0&PType
If you are unlucky to find it contact the customer support, probably they might have some utility to do it without that as well.
S/N incorrect. Please check your S/N again
