- Like Hgouck says, try a battery pull. Take the battery out with the phone turned on. In most every weird instance that will bring functions back to normal. If not return for more help. Most anything can be restored on a BlackBerry. Hope springs eternal.08-01-12 06:43 AMLike 0
- Sounds more like 507 to me, but either way......
You've never done an OS upgrade, which would create a backup automatically, set up BlackBerry Protect, used the internal device switch in Setup to back your info on your SD/internal memory, utilized your carrier's backup assistant app, or the backup features within BBM itself?08-01-12 07:35 AMLike 0 - http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/b...ListHelperImpl

Overview
The BlackBerry� Bold™ 9900 smartphone stops responding, and the following error message appears:
JVM error 517 Reset
Back to top
Cause
JVM Errors are raised by the BlackBerry Device Software during various activities to make the BlackBerry smartphone user aware of a failure in which the BlackBerry smartphone could not safely recover normal operation. Although JVM errors may occur as a result of software related issues only, JVM Error 517 is known to occur due to interactions with the BlackBerry smartphone hardware:
JVM Error 517: The BlackBerry Device Software encountered unexpected data in a memory location which is used for normal operations
Back to top
Resolution
Ensure the BlackBerry smartphone is running the latest version of BlackBerry Device Software provided by the associated wireless service provider. If it is running older BlackBerry Device Software, please upgrade to the latest available version. For instructions on how to update the BlackBerry Device Software, visit the BlackBerry Device Software Updates web site or see KB03621.
If the issue persists after reload or upgrade, please contact the wireless service provider for repair or replacement options should the BlackBerry smartphone still fall under the warranty coverage.

Workaround
Though JVM Error 517 is typically indicative of an issue with the BlackBerry Device Software interacting with the underlying BlackBerry smartphone hardware that is no longer operating as expected, this specific occurrence of JVM 517 can be resolved by updating the BlackBerry Device Software.08-01-12 05:07 PMLike 0 - Yeppers
And good reason why, no matter what device you choose (PC included), it's always a good idea to back up regularly. Nothing is infallible, but helping yourself is easy.08-01-12 06:44 PMLike 0
