List of JVM Error Codes

JVM Error 101 – Previous startup failed
The device was reset during the JVM boot process. The JVM found the boot in progress flag was set on startup. The screen is intended to break continuous reset loops so that corrective action can be taken.

JVM Error 102 – Invalid code in filesystem (Fix for this error is covered on website)
The system checked the COD files in the device for modification and determined that a problem exists with one or more COD files.

If all loads fail, a build process error might occur (a problem exists with signing the COD files).

If a user action on the device resulted in this problem, the reset cycle is continuous because the code in the filesystem has been corrupted. The only recovery method is to wipe the device and restore a new system.

JVM Error 103 – Cannot find starting address
The starting address for the boot COD file cannot be found. This might indicate that a boot COD file has not been installed on the device or that its format is invalid or corrupt.

JVM Error 104 – Uncaught:
An uncaught Java exception was thrown by the Java code and diagnosed by the JVM. Execution can continue, or the device can be attached to a debugger on a desktop computer. The Microsoft® Windows® Event Viewer log should contain the traceback of the thrown exception.

JVM Error 105 – Example, DbRecSize( %d ) -> %d
The file system application programming interface (API) has returned an error status for a specific operation. This might indicate a corrupt filesystem or an error in the JVM.

JVM Error 106 – Graphics system error
An error was detected in the graphics system on the device.

JVM Error 107 – operator new() called
A C++ class in the JVM was coded incorrectly to inherit from VMRamObject that has the correct override for operator new. Extract the current (post-reset) BUGDISP.

JVM Error 108 – operator delete() called
A C++ class in the JVM has was coded incorrectly to inherit from VMRamObject that has the correct override for operator delete. Extract the current (post-reset) BUGDISP.

JVM Error 109 – PriorityMessageCount error:The value returned by RimPriorityMessageCount is negative. It should always be greater than, or equal to, zero. This indicates an error in the operating system code. Extract the current (post-reset) BUGDISP and EVENTLOG.

JVM Error 110 – Non-idle event downtime error:
A problem was detected in the accumulation of JVM down time, which represents how long the JVM has been idle. This usually indicates an error in the device firmware or the JVM. This could also occur if the tick count rolls over after 400 or more days of device time.

JVM Error 111 – Font engine error
An error was detected in the font engine system on the device. Extract the current (post-reset) BUGDISP and EVENTLOG.

JVM Error 112 – Java Native Assertion Failure

An error was detected in the Java native code. Extract the current (post-reset) BUGDISP and EVENTLOG.

JVM Error 200 – Application manager threw an uncaught exception
The application manager event thread threw an uncaught exception and cannot continue execution.

JVM Error 201 – Crypto initialization code failed
The initialization of the crypto system failed and the device cannot continue execution.

JVM Error 202 – An attack on the key store has been detected
An attack has been detected and execution cannot continue.

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

JVM Error 204 – Persistent Content Exception
An application tried to commit a plaintext object to the Persistent Store. This will only happen if Content Protection is on and a process tries to save something in the PersistentStore that is marked as plaintext. Since this exception was not handled, the persistent store is in a bad state. You should reset to roll back to the last good commit point. This is not a JVM erro; the JVM is simply diagnosing the problem. The eventlog contains information about the erroneous Java code.

JVM Error 501 – VM_THREAD_SWITCHED:
Internal Error This is an error return used internally in the VM. It should never be reported as a device error.

JVM Error 502 – VM_PROCESS_DEATH:
All processes exited The last Java process has terminated. There is nothing left to execute.

JVM Error 503 – VM_THREAD_DEATH:
Internal Error This is an error return used internally in the VM. It should never be reported as a device error.

JVM Error 504 – VM_THREAD_SWITCH:
Internal Error This is an error return used internally in the VM. It should never be reported as a device error.

JVM Error 505 – VM_BAD_CODE:
Bad Byte Code An error has occurred in the JIT compiler.

JVM Error 506 – Uncaught Exception
An 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 for the exception.

JVM Error 507 – Unsatisfied Link
A dependency on a COD file could not be satisfied because the COD file is missing.

JVM Error 508 – Invalid object
A problem has been detected with a debugger command to the VM.

JVM Error 509 – VM_PPO_INFINITE_LOOP:
infinite loop in PPO phase of GC The maximum iteration count for the PPO phase of a GC must be the maximum number of file handles in the system. This error indicates that the iteration count exceeds the maximum. Hence, a flaw exists in the PPO loop or a corrupted file system. The extra hex integer in the error string is the flash id of the current record where the infinite loop was detected.

JVM Error 510 – Deadlock
All threads are waiting on objects, resulting in deadlock. The system cannot recover from this state because no thread can release a lock.

JVM Error 511 – Debug connection died
A problem has occurred while debugging that may be caused by a VM problem or an incorrect debugging command being sent to the VM.

JVM Error 512 – GC Aborted
An idle garbage collection has been interrupted by a user event (for instance, a key was pressed or the trackwheel was used).

JVM Error 513 – needs running (Fix for this error is covered on website)
An opcode requires that a class execute before it can continue execution.

JVM Error 514 – needs running
A new instance of a class has been allocated and it must be initialized by the default constructor before it can be used.

JVM Error 515 – Object group too big
The reachable objects form a group that cannot be represented properly by the JVM because either there are too many objects or the total size of the objects is too large.

JVM Error 516 – Persistent ids exhausted
When committing a persistent object, the JVM found that the persistent store id counter reached its limit. The object was not committed and a critical error was reported. This error should not occur unless a device is heavily used for years.

JVM Error 517 – Filesystem corrupt (Fix for this error is covered on this website)
An inconsistency was detected in the JVM persistent object store.

JVM Error – 518 Unexpected longjmp
A 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 error should not occur because these actions are executed when the device is not idle, and GCs can only be interrupted when the device is idle.

JVM Error 519 – Internal Error
The JVM host is missing or has been disabled.

JVM Error 520 – Internal Return
This is an internal state that indicates a Java method return needs to be executed.

JVM Error 521 – Dangerous Wait
An Object.wait() was executed by a thread that holds a lock on another object.

JVM Error 522 – Interlaced synchronization
A thread acquired two locks on objects in an order that doesn’t match the order in which a lock on the two types were previously acquired. This indicates a future potential deadlock situation and is reported. The check is only available in the simulator under the control of the JvmDebugLocks application switch.

JVM Error 523 – System process died
A critical Java process has terminated, and the device cannot continue to operate in a normal manner.

JVM Error 524 – LMM error (Low Memory Manager)
An object has been marked as recovered by the Low Memory Manager, but it was not freed during a garbage collection.

JVM Error 525 – Bad persistent object
An auto-commit operation during a garbage collection detected a non-persistent object reachable from the persistent store root. The type of the object was output into the eventlog.

JVM Error 526 – java.lang.Object not found
The class definition for java.lang.Object cannot be found.

JVM Error 527 – java.lang.String not found
The class definition for java.lang.String cannot be found.

JVM Error 528 – Corrupt filesystem.

Unrecoverable. All data will be lost All data will be lost when execution continues. The error message screen contains a number representing an internal reason for the corruption.

  • This error is not diagnosed if a COD file was removed because the JVM must delete objects that were defined in the removed COD file.
  • Thus, this error is not expected in normal device operation. Refer to the following reason codes:
  • Root array reference is not a valid array reference
  • Root array type is not Object[]
  • Root array size < 1 (i.e., Object[0])
  • Contents of root[0] is not a valid ref
  • Type of root[0] is not a LongIntHashtable
  • Persistent segmented array header contains an invalid reference
  • An entry in a persistent Object[] contains an invalid reference
  • An Object’s type refers to an unknown codfile
  • An Object’s type description in the codfile doesn’t match the size in the store
  • A reference type field in an Object has an invalid reference in it
  • A reference type field in an object points to an object of the wrong type
  • A persistent Object[] is missing its descriptor
  • Object in persistent store is not marked as persistable
  • Root array is segmented and one of the segments is invalid

JVM Error 529 – Corrupt filesystem. (Fix for this error is covered on website)

About to attempt recovery. Some data may be lost Some data will be lost when execution continues. The error message screen contains a number representing an internal reason for the corruption. This error is not diagnosed if a COD file WAS removed because the VM must delete objects that were defined in the removed COD file. Thus, this error is not expected in normal device operation. Refer to the following reason codes:

  • Root array reference is not a valid array reference
  • Root array type is not Object[]
  • Root array size < 1 (i.e., Object[0])
  • Contents of root[0] is not a valid ref
  • Type of root[0] is not a LongIntHashtable
  • Persistent segmented array header contains an invalid reference
  • An entry in a persistent Object[] contains an invalid reference
  • An Object’s type refers to an unknown codfile
  • An Object’s type description in the codfile doesn’t match the size in the store
  • A reference type field in an Object has an invalid reference in it
  • A reference type field in an object points to an object of the wrong type
  • A persistent Object[] is missing its descriptor
  • Object in persistent store is not marked as persistable
  • Root array is segmented and one of the segments is invalid

JVM Error 530 – VM_PREVENT_GC_OVERFLOW: _preventGC overflow
A fixed number of native objects can be protected from garbage collection. This error indicates that a native has exceeded the fixed limit of objects that can be protected. If the device is reset or thread tracebacks are logged, the name of the actual native can be extracted.

JVM Error 531 – Flash exhausted
There are certain operations where the JVM cannot withstand running out of flash space. In these circumstances, this error will be reported if the JVM cannot allocate a required amount of flash space.

JVM Error 532 – VM_ASSERTION_FAILED:
Assertion failed Normally this JVM error should not be reported since the device is not shipped with assertions enabled. The simulator may report this error in debug mode indicating a VM assertion was violated. Try typing BKPT to activate the debugger and dump the native call stack for forwarding to the VM team.

JVM Error 533 – VM_RUN_METHOD: needs running
This is used internally for ECMAScript to call Java methods.

JVM Error 534 – VM_FAST_RESET_DISABLED:
Fast Reset Disabled This is used internally to indicate that fast reset capability is not available. Often used in platform-specific code.

JVM Error 535 – VM_UNUSED_535:
Unused This is an unused VM error.

JVM Error 536 – VM_FAST_RESET_BAD_INSTANCE: VM Instance Check Failed
This is used internally to indicate that the VM structure passed in is at the wrong address or has been corrupted.

JVM Error 537 – VM_FAST_RESET_BAD_HEAP: Heap Check Failed
This is used internally to indicate that the VM heap has been corrupted or pointers into the heap have been corrupted.

JVM Error 538 – VM_FAST_RESET_BAD_IRAM: IRAM Check Failed
This is used internally to indicate that the VM IRAM checks have detected corruption of VM data structures (threads and local stacks) that reside in IRAM.

JVM Error 539 – VM_FAST_RESET_NOT_IDLE: Not Idle
This is used internally to indicate that the VM was not idle when the reset occurred and, as such, cannot continue with a fast reset.

JVM Error 540 – VM_FAST_RESET_MULTIPLE_RESETS: Multiple Resets
This is used internally to indicate that the time since the last fast reset is less than a minimum time. By disallowing multiple fast resets in a short amount of time, this should prevent fast reset loops.

JVM Error 541 – VM_HEAP_COMPACT_INFINITE_LOOP: infinite loop detected in heap compaction
The VM detected a problem in its RAM heap that indicates its RAM was corrupted. The problem was detected by identifying a possible infinite loop during RAM heap compaction. A bugdisp log and eventlog should be extracted quickly when the device is in this condition. If possible, images of RAM should be saved.

JVM Error 542– Memory leak
The JVM detected that some memory was not freed, indicating that a memory leak has occurred. This condition is detected as early as possible to improve chances of isolating the cause.

JVM Error 543 – VM_FS_MISMATCH: Incompatible Java filesystem installed
The VM detected that the operating system binary is different from the operating system binary used to create the Java file system. This means that the Java native methods may not be linked properly and as such, the integrity of the system cannot be guaranteed. The system can be recovered by using the VM DLFX and DLPS commands to delete the fixups and persistent store. This will clear all data and fixups and let the filesystem re-link to match the new operating system binary.
Note: The recovery order is:

  • Delete fixups
  • Delete persistent store
  • Reset device

JVM Error 544 – VM_SECTION_MAP_OVERFLOW: a module references more than 255 other modules
The VM detected that a module is trying to reference more than 255 other modules. Extract the filesystem immediately when this error is
detected.

JVM Error 545 – VM_INCOMPATIBLE_FILESYS: an incompatible or corrupt filesystem was found (Fix for this error is covered on website)
The VM detected an incompatible or corrupt filesystem. Extract the filesystem immediately when this error is detected.

JVM Error 546 – VM_UNUSED_546: unused
The VM detected that the RAM image of its filesystem is corrupted (failed CRC check). Better to reset than to duplicate the corruption into flash.

JVM Error 547 – VM_UNUSED_547: unused
This is an unused VM error.

JVM Error 548 – VM_UNUSED_548: unused
This is an unused VM error.

JVM Error 549 – VM_UNUSED_549: unused
This is an unused VM error.
