How-To Wipe with JL_Cmder

[Crucial_Xtreme]

Ok, I've seen alot of people lately using JL_Cmder to wipe the device, but some are having problems. So, heres a How-To on how to use JL_Cmder. I hope this helps a few people out.

1) DownloadJL_Cmder from the attached file below, unzip & install to the computer.

2) Now, go ahead and sync all of your info or back it up. If you DO NOT, you will lose it ALL, obviously because we are wiping the device.

3) If you do not have the latest version of the Desktop Manager, download it fromHERE
Also, make sure, that you have the OS you are wanting to install to the device, installed to your computer as well.

4)Make sure the Vendor XML file is deleted if you are going to install a OS that is not from your carrier. The vendor XML file can be located by going toC:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\ResearchInMotion\Applo ader

5) Make sure the DM is closed and plug in BB to computer via USB

6) Go to theJL_Cmderon your computer and double click it to start. Now, this may take a few tries to connect, so keep trying until it does.

7) On the first screen, Press any key to continue.


8) Now, if your device uses a password, enter it now. If not, press "N"

9) Press 4 to initiate the WIPE

10) Press "Y" to continue

11) Now type "blackberry" to continue

12) Now you will see a white screen with a'507' Error Don't worry, this is what you want! You are now ready to install the OS.

13) Open the DM

14) Select Apploader and step your way to the finish. After the OS is installed, it will take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes to reboot the device. DO NOT UNPLUG THE DEVICE UNTIL THE APPLOADER SCREEN SAYS "THE LOADING OPERATION WAS SUCCESSFUL!!

15) Almost done. Now, with the DM still open go to the Main page and Select "Backup & Restore" and restore from the backup that was made before wiping.

That's it! You have now wiped your device withJL_Cmder
Make sure you follow the instructions, and you shouldn't have a problem. I hope this helps.

Below is a list of App Errors:

* 101 Internal JVM error.
* 102 Invalid code in file system. The .cod files in the handheld have been checked for modification and it has been determined that there is a problem with one or more .cod files.
* 103 The starting address for the boot .cod file cannot be found. This might mean that a boot .cod file has not been installed on the handheld, or that its format is invalid or corrupt.
* 104 An uncaught Java exception was thrown in the Java code and diagnosed by the JVM. Execution can be continued or the handheld can be attached to a debugger on a desktop through a serial or USB cable. The event log should contain the traceback of the thrown exception.
* 105 An OS file system API returned an error status for a certain operation. This can indicate a corrupt file system or an error in the JVM.
* 106 An error has been detected in the graphics system of the handheld.
* 107 Internal JVM error.
* 108 Internal JVM error.
* 109 Internal OS error.
* 110 Non-idle event downtime error. A problem has been detected in the accumulation of JVM down time that represents how long the JVM has been idle. This indicates an error in either the OS code or the JVM code.
* 200 Application manager threw an uncaught exception. The application manager event thread threw an uncaught exception and so cannot continue running.
* 201 Initialization of the cryptographic system failed and the handheld cannot continue to operate.
* 202 An attack on the key store has been detected, and the handheld cannot continue to operate.
* 203 The application manager console process, usually the Home screen ribbon, has failed, like due to an uncaught exception.
* 501 Internal error.
* 502 All processes exited. The last Java process has terminated, and there is nothing left to execute.
* 503 Internal error.
* 504 Internal error.
* 505 Internal error.
* 506 An uncaught Java exception was thrown in the initial VM Java thread thus killing the only live thread in the system. The event log contains the traceback for the exception.
* 507 A dependency on a .cod file could not be satisfied due to a missing .cod file. Load the missing .cod file onto the handheld.
* 508 Invalid object. A problem has been detected with a debugger command to the VM.
* 516 Error occurred during garbage collection, which might indicate a corrupted file system.
* 510 All threads are waiting on objects, which results in a deadlock. The system cannot recover from this state since no thread can release a lock.
* 511 A problem has occurred during debugging.
* 515 The reachable objects form a group that cannot be represented properly by the VM because there are too many objects or the total size of the objects is too large.
* 516 When committing a persistent object, the VM found that the persistent store id counter has reached its limit. The object was not committed.
* 517 An inconsistency has been detected in the VM persistent object store.
* 518 Internal error.
* 519 Internal error.
* 520 Internal error.
* 521 Indicates that Object.wait() has been executed by a thread that holds a lock on another object; occurs only in simulator if the JvmDebugWaits application switch.
* 522 A thread has acquired two locks on objects in an order that doesn’t match the order that previous locks for the two types were acquired, which indicates a future potential deadlock situation; reported only in the simulator when the JvmDebugLocks application switch is set.
* 523 A critical Java process has died and the device cannot continue to operate normally.
* 524 An object has been marked as recovered by the Low Memory Manager but it was not freed during a garbage collection. This is only checked in the simulator under the control of the JvmDebugLMM application switch.
* 525 Bad persistent object. An auto-commit operation during a garbage collection has detected a non-persistent object reachable from the persistent store root. The type of the object has been output into the event log.
* 526 The class definition for java.lang.Object cannot be found.
* 527 The class definition for java.lang.String cannot be found.
* 528 The file system is corrupted. Data on the handheld is unrecoverable.
* 529 The file system is corrupted. An attempt is going to be made to recover data, but some data might be lost.
* 530 Internal JVM error.
* 531 Flash memory has been exhausted.
* 532 A JVM assertion has been violated. This error can occur only in the simulator, not on an actual handheld.

Thanks Tyroni. I hoped it would. I've seen alot of members having problems. I wish I could have put the 1st pic up, but it would only let me put up 4. So i figured the 1st was the least important. But, thank you, I appreciate it.

How-To Wipe with JL_Cmder part II

This is for the few times you cannot get the above instructions to work. ** Make sure you try to get JL_Cmder to connect 5 or 6 times before doing this.**


The same as above applies for this. Make sure you have the latest version of Desktop Manager & OS installed to your computer.

1) Make sure DM is NOT running.

2) Connect BB

3) Start a Command Prompt in DOS from your computer.
** XP ** Start>Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt then type loader.exe/nojvm


4) The AppLoader will then open

5) Select Next

6) A drop down list will appear with the Communication ports & one USB port entry

7) Select USB:Unknown

8) The Apploader should connect to the device and you can now re-install the OS.

If you do not see USB:BBPIN or USB:Unknown

1) Then disconnect your device from the computer
2) Make sure you leave the Apploader screen up
3) Remove the battery & stick it back in
4) Quickly while the RED LED is on reconnect your device to the computer
5) When USB:BBPIN OR USB:Unknown appears quickly Select Next
6) Then run the Apploader


Once again, JL_Cmder usually connects to the device after 1 or even a few tries. This is if you CANNOT get JL_Cmder to connect. I've tried to make this as complete as I can. If anyone has anything to add, please do so. Either post here or PM me.

I really appreciate the time you took to post this. I bricked my Curve a couple of weeks ago and was using bits and pieces of info I found in these forums to get JL_Cmder to work and I never had any success. I spent four hours trying to do it. I finally used the technique of pulling the battery and then clicking really fast on the COM port button in DM.

I will bookmark this for future reference.

[Crucial_Xtreme]

Sounds good. Only sorry I didn't make this earlier then. And thank you

after i typed in blackberry it did nothing for me?
