I have blackberry 8310 (at&t), but one day my curve reboot it self and show this error 'JVM Error 547 flash write failed. Scroll for available commands"
can some one help me with this "JVM error" please :17:

I've try anything but no luck...

2. upgrade OS (still the same error) :aargh4:
3. down grade to OS 4.2 (no luck) :aargh4:

Please help me.....:17:

I am not familiar with your device, but I am sure one of our Team Members will be able to help you shortly.

Are you able to get it connect to a computer, load an OS, and run it? Where/when does this error show up?

Yes, I can get connect to a computer and I can load an OS. but I can't wipe with JL_CMDr, said some thing like "no port found" but yes I can load an OS by DM or apploader.
The error shows when starting device, when time glass show then the error message popup with that comment

Hmm okay. I should have also asked whether or not you can click okay to get around the error and still use your phone? If you can, here is what I'd like you to try.

Go to Options > Security > General > Press Menu > Wipe Handheld.

Check the box to include third party apps. Click Okay. And then type the word blackberry when it asks you too.

negatif......my device stuck with that error in the startup and can't load the OS. I can scroll the option when the error show, like "reset", "hibernate"....etc
but no luck

Okay. Next I would give BBSAK a try. See if that will connect to your device.

I've try that one too,but cannot connect, same problem with jl_cmdr. but yesterday i've try to downgrade again the OS to 4.2, while apploader sait "connecting to jvm, wait for device..." (the one that try to connect the device), my device always reboot it self (about 2scnd loading and reboot) again...again...again......(never ending story)

Do you have all of the latest windows updates installed? What version of windows are you using. If you don't have the latest updates, I would try running windows update.

I'm using the newes DM 5 (official) and I'm running on windows xp sp3 (all patch and all update on windows xp allready install on my PC)

I've done that......
well I guess It just my bad luck......I'm so hopeless
hiks...hiks...

To me, it sounds like a straight-up hardware issue. The problem with Flash Memory is, it has a finite lifespan (only so many read/write cycles). This, coupled with the fact that the 8310 is a rather old model; has be convinced that one of the Flash chips inside may have simply worn out.

The error was something akin to Windows bluescreening when it attempts to write to a failing hard drive.

First....If JL_cmder isn't connecting but your still able to load an OS that doesn't make much sense....even if you plug in and it looks as though JL_cmder isn't connected just stay plugged in and go through the motions of a wipe command with JL_cmder and you might be surprised.

Secondly....try and scroll down through the list of options it gives you when you get the error message and look for "Secure Mode" if it gives you this as an option select it and you should be able to do a secure mode reset at the next screen possibly and you might be all set to connect with JL_cmder and do a low level wipe and reinstall after this.

Third....If you don't have that option or that doesn't work look for (get out your glasses the text will prolly be small) "delete persistent store" and "reduce heap stack 6.5 Mb" execute both options.....your user data will bet lost FYI...if none of these options work than read the rest of my post:

Fourth.......I'd 2nd the motion that you MAY have fatal hardware issues...the only other thing I can think of is that if you have a microSD card installed.... take it out and give it another try. I doubt that's the case but you may get lucky, only a few things it could be when "flash memory" is referenced; the on-board "flash" memory (RAM) or your expandable flash memory (microSD card) is bad....you could have bad onboard RAM chip or bad memory card reader circuitry along with a faulty mini USB port on your device possibly.

I have a suggestion:

Try following my how-to guide HERE

Basically you create a shortcut to loader and add "/nojvm" to the target in that shortcut... its pretty simple.

Try that and let us know if that works and I'll update that thread for searching purposes (if it works that is...)

thank you for all for supporting my problem
I have buy a new blackberry bold
So I think my old 8310 I will use for spare part

Ahh yes.
Paperweight mode

Thanks for the feedback.
Are you running the 9000 or the 9700? Either one is a very nice upgrade.
