1VM Error Code List

`` 101 Previous startup failed The device has been reset during the JVM boot process. This
error indicates that the JVM Iound the -oot in progress Ilag was set on startup. The screen is
intended to break continuous reset loops so that corrective action can be taken.

`` 102 3valid code i3 filesystem The system has checked the .COD Iiles in the handheld Ior
modiIication, and determined that there is a problem with one or more .COD Iiles. II all loads
Iail, it could indicate a build process error where there was a problem signing the codIiles. II
some user action to the device caused this problem, the reset cycle will be continuous since the
code in the Iilesystem has been corrupted. The only recovery method is to wipe the device and
restore a new system.

`` 103 a33ot fi3d starti3 address The starting address Ior the boot .COD Iile cannot be Iound.
This may indicate that a boot .COD Iile has not been installed on the device, or that its Iormat is
invalid or corrupt.

`` 104 &3caut. n uncaught Java exception was thrown by 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 oI the thrown
exception.

`` 105 ample, DbRecSi:e( d ) -~ d The Iile system !I has returned an error status Ior a
certain operation. This could indicate a corrupt Iilesystem or an error in the JVM.

`` 106 rapics system error n error has been detected in the graphics system oI the device.

`` 107 operator 3ew() called C class in the JVM has not been coded correctly to inherit
Irom VMRamObject that has the correct override Ior operator new. Extract the current (post-
reset) BUGDIS!

`` 108 operator delete() called C class in the JVM has not been coded correctly to inherit
Irom VMRamObject that has the correct override Ior operator delete. Extract the current (post-
reset) BUGDIS!.

`` 109 PriorityMessaeou3t error. The value returned by Rim!riorityMessageCount is
negative when it should always be greater than or equal to zero. This indicates an error in the OS
code. Extract the current (post-reset) BUGDIS! and EVENTLOG.

`` 110 o3-idle eve3t dow3time error. problem has been detected in the accumulation oI
JVM down time, which represents how long the JVM has been idle. This usually indicates an
error in the handheld Iirmware or the JVM. This could also occur iI the tick count rolls over aIter
400 days oI device time.

`` 111 o3t e3i3e error n error has been detected in the Iont engine system oI the device.
Extract the current (post-reset) BUGDIS! and EVENTLOG.

`` 112 ava ative Assertio3 ailure n error has been detected in the Java native code. Extract
the current (post-reset) BUGDIS! and EVENTLOG.

`` 200 Applicatio3 ma3aer trew a3 u3caut eceptio3 The application manager event thread
threw an uncaught exception and so cannot continue execution.

`` 201 rypto i3itiali:atio3 code failed The initialization oI the crypto system Iailed and the
handheld cannot continue execution.

`` 202 A3 attack o3 te key store as bee3 detected The attack has been detected and execution
cannot continue.

`` 203 o3sole process died The application manager console process (usually the Ribbon) has
died. This is likely due to an uncaught exception during execution.

`` 204 Persiste3t o3te3t ceptio3 n application tried to commit a plaintext object to the
!ersistent Store. This will only happen iI Content !rotection is on and a process tries to save
something in the !ersistentStore that is marked as plaintext. Since this exception was not
handled, the persistent store is in a bad state. We need to reset to roll back to the last good
commit point. %E: This JVM error reIlects an error in the Java code, the JVM is simply
diagnosing the error. This is not a JVM problem, the eventlog will contain inIormation about the
erroneous Java code.

`` 501 'MTHRADSWTHD. 3ter3al rror This is an error return used internally in the
VM. It should never be reported as a device error.

`` 502 'MPROSSDATH. All processes eited The last Java process has terminated.
There is nothing leIt to execute.

`` 503 'MTHRADDATH. 3ter3al rror This is an error return used internally in the VM.
It should never be reported as a device error.

`` 504 'MTHRADSWTH. 3ter3al rror This is an error return used internally in the VM.
It should never be reported as a device error.

`` 505 'MBADOD. Bad Byte ode n error has occurred in the JIT compiler.

`` 506 &3caut ceptio3 n uncaught Java exception was thrown in the initial VM Java
thread thus ending the only live thread in the system. The eventlog contains the traceback Ior the
exception.

`` 507 &3satisfied Li3k dependency on a .COD Iile could not be satisIied because the .COD
Iile is missing.

`` 508 3valid obfect problem has been detected with a debugger command to the VM.

`` 509 'MPPOTLOOP. i3fi3ite loop i3 PPO pase of The maximum iteration
count Ior the !!O phase oI a GC must be the maximum number oI Iile handles in the system.
This error indicates that the iteration count has exceeded that count and hence there is a Ilaw in
the !!O loop or a corrupted Iile system. The extra hex integer in the error string is the Ilash id oI
the current record where the inIinite loop was detected.

`` 510 Deadlock ll threads are waiting on objects, resulting in deadlock. The system cannot
recover Irom this state because no thread can release a lock.

`` 511 Debu co33ectio3 died problem has occurred while debugging that may be caused by a
VM problem or an incorrect debugging command being sent to the VM.

`` 512 Aborted n idle garbage collection has been interrupted by a user event, such as
pressing the keyboard or moving the trackwheel.

`` 513 3eeds ru33i3 n opcode requires that a class execute beIore it can continue execution.

`` 514 3eeds ru33i3 new instance oI a class has been allocated and it must be initialized by
the deIault constructor beIore it can be used.

`` 515 Obfect roup too bi The reachable objects Iorm a group that cannot be represented
properly by the JVM because either there are too many objects or the total size oI the objects is
too large.

`` 516 Persiste3t ids eausted When committing a persistent object, the JVM Iound that the
persistent store id counter has reached its limit. The object was not committed and a critical error
was reported. This error should never happen unless a device is heavily used Ior years.

`` 517 ilesystem corrupt n inconsistency has been detected in the JVM persistent object store.

`` 518 &3epected lo3fmp garbage collection marking phase was terminated via a longjmp.
This indicates that the marking phase was interrupted when it should have completed without
interruption. This should never happen because these actions are executed when the device is not
idle, and GCs can only be interrupted when the device is idle.

`` 519 3ter3al rror The JVM host is missing or has been disabled.

`` 520 3ter3al Retur3 n internal state that indicates a Java method return needs to be
executed.

`` 521 Da3erous Wait n Object.wait() has been executed by a thread that holds a lock on
another object. This is only checked in the simulator under the control oI the JvmDebugWaits
application switch.
