It sounds as if you are mis-typing your password -- and after the maximum number of allowed attempts, it automatically wipes the device clean (as a security precaution, on the assumption that you are not the "owner" of the device). What it also does, during the password retries, is to show you the password in clear text after some number of failed attempts.

Getting the jvm error 513 on blackberry curve, i see where they say you need to reload handheld software but how do you do that? I do not have a password for it so I have no idea why the error popped up...

download JL commander (google search for program) choose "Reset to factory defaults' option then use Blackberry desktop software to reload OS current version. All of your data will be lost once wiped but it is unaccessable already.

BlackBerry Curve 8300 Smartphone: jun error 513...

Hello,

Thank you for using Fixya1

Based on www.blackberry.com the error message you are getting is due to typing incorrect password for a couple of times (10 or more).All of the data and applications on the BlackBerry smartphone have been deleted.

The BlackBerry® Device Software must be reloaded on to the BlackBerry smartphone. For instructions, click HERE

Note: Due to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) error, the BlackBerry smartphone will not show a Connected state in the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager. Proceed to reload the BlackBerry Device Software using the Application Loader.

Sincerely,
stif_nec

How to reload software 513?

I have a blackberry curve that drove me crazy because the application loader didnt work with mine either but here is what I tried and it worked for mine so hopefully it will work for yours. First, go to the blackberry.com website and click on software. Then click on device software. Select the version that is compatible with your phone. Be sure that your phone is connected to the computer with the USB cord that is came with. Then click download and follow the instructions from there. This should reload the software on your phone.

JVM ERROR 513 BLACKBERRY 8310

JVM 513 indicates all data and application on the device have been deleted. To restore, you need to reinstall the Blackberry handheld software and restore the data from the backup file if you have it on your computer. To reload the software, you will have to connect the device to the computer and run Blackberry desktop manager and then application loader. In case you do not have thse software on your computer, check with your service provider and they will have the software available for free download on their website.
