Hi,

The actual error is JVM Error 517. It means the file system on your blackberry is corrupt.

To correct this, follow the steps outlined below:
1. If not already installed, download BlackBerry Device Software and BlackBerry Desktop Manager from the wireless service provider web site.
2. Install BlackBerry Desktop Manager and then install the BlackBerry Device Software.
3. Use Application Loader to reload the software on the BlackBerry device.


Good luck and thanks for using fixya!

Hi,your phone is corrupted,need to reset or update with firmware.

Use this instruction to reset

There are three main types of Reset that apply to the Blackberry. These are listed in order below. Instructions for Blackberry Pearl are slightly different - see bottom section of the Tip.

1) Soft Reset - simply press the ALT+RIGHT SHIFT(CAP)+DELETE keys.

This reset stops all applications that are running on the Blackberry and will help if you are having problems connecting the device to computer. This reset will not erase any information from your device.

2) Double Soft Reset - this reset is almost equivalent to a full hard reset. First perform a Soft Reset as outlined in Step 1.

As soon as the screen is no longer black - repeat the steps once again exactly as before.

This takes you to another screen showing an hour glass. Allow the device to reset. This helps if the device has suffered a more serious error. Be aware you may loose some information from your device. A backup is advised prior to proceeding if at all possible.

3) Hard Reset - this is the full blown reset and will fully reset the device to help resolve critical errors with software or hardware. Again back up important information before proceeding if possible.

Note: For RIM models 850, 857, 950, or 957, you must insert the end of a paperclip or similar blunt object into a small recessed hole on the back of the unit and depress the switch inside. The device will reboot and be hard reset.

Other Models: With the device turned on - remove the battery for 30 seconds or more. Now replace the battery. The device will reboot and be hard reset.

Blackberry Pearl: To reset to factory defaults enter 'Options' from the main menu. Scroll to Security Options and press the trackball. Choose 'General Settings'.

Press the left soft key, then scroll to "Wipe Handheld" with the trackball and press the trackball. To initiate the factory reset, your phones security code may be required in order for the process to complete. Your phone will now be restored to its original settings on leaving the factory.

A hard reset can be achieved with the Pearl in the same way as outlined at Step 3 by removing the battery.

Be aware that resets such as these may erase data, such as contacts, ring tones, pictures, text messages and stored Internet files and emails. Make sure to back up important information beforehand if at all possible. You can obtain software to back up the device to your computer directly from Blackberry right here.

Hope this Tip helps. If so please do leave a vote for the solution.

Thanks.

and after resetting if no response,then you will need to update with firmware.GO to blackberry web site for update .

I droped my phone in the toilet now when i put the batterie in it says jum error 517 & reset . tired to reset it but it wont work ?

Take the battery out and let the handset dry out, this will take a day or so, then replace the battery and power the handset up. If the error/issue continues, the you will need to replace the handset. If you have insurance, then you can file a claim and at&t will bill you for the deductable.

Hi, the JMV 517 error code is as a result of software corruption. One way or the other, your Blackberry's operating system file has be corrupt.
Your Blackberry OS needs to be reinstalled in order for the problem to be solved. You will need Blackberry Desktop Manager installed on a computer, download the latest device software from your carrier website and perform a clean reload of the device software. Below is a link that will guide you on how to do the clean reload .

Once the link is opened, scroll scroll down the page to be able to read information.
Note that due to the JVM error(s) , unless you have done a backup of your personal data of have contacts on a SIM card, you WILL LOOSE all personal data on the device.
If your Desktop Manager can't recognise your device, you will need to contact your Carrier and have a Technical Support Agent assist you.
