My blackberry is stuck in the JVM 517 error loop and I desperately need to make a backup of my organizer data (particularly of my calendar, to do list and notes). Any suggestions on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated. I am unable to back up my data using Desktop Manager but I am able to use BBSAK to save all COD files (I have a curve 8310 and I was able to save 270 COD files totaling 26MB) but don�t know if this is helpful or not. I was also able to retrieve the log of events just before the error loop started and in case this is of any help in solving the problem here it is:

[Reed McLay]

The bad news is, COD files are computer program code files, not data files. BBSAK is not designed to backup data.

The Backup/Restore programs are part of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager program. If you have a backup of your BlackBerry, it will have an IPD file type.

if you find out what 517 means i would be interested. i think ive got a bb with a 517 error. i tried reflashing but cant. might be hardware. mighta been a different error number tho.

[aznlgcy]

Here is a link explaining what each JVM error is:

KB19442-Hardware related JVM error codes

Usually with any JVM error there is no way to get the data back as far as I'm aware
