    Hello, I've been searching the internet for days and just can not seem to find what I am looking for. I love my blackberry, I have the Pearl.

    I put a password on it, then one of my friends tried it 10 times, to wipe everything, while it said "wiping" i tried to take the battery out for it to stop, but it didn't. Then it started "scrubbing" it, and finally turned off. When i turned it back on, all I get is the JVM Error 513 and then below it , it says RESET, which is highlighted. It is a white screen and thats all it says.

    I do not know what to do. I bought this phone used off kijiji, but it has never done anything like this before. From what I have read, the problem is all my apllications and everything is gone, so it cannot start up and I need to install a new OS (operation system) but I have no clue if that is the case, and if it was how to do that!

    Is there any way I can fix this at home? And if so, how? Also if I can't, is there any way bell could do it for me, even if i do not have a warranty?

    If anyone could get back to me as soon as possible that would be great. Life is hard without my crackberry!

    First, calm down. This is an easy fix assuming you have a PC and a little time. Check the BlackBerry 101 link in my sig for "How to recover a nuked BlackBerry" it has great instructions there. If you run in to any problems send me a PM and I'll try to help you out
