Error 102 showing on phone but cant back up data

After trying to download an app today I was told on screen that i would have to update the app world software. I tried to do this by following the on screen instructions but have received a message on screen stating ' error 102 please reload software' The phone wont reboot and when I connect to Blackberry desktop it cant connect to my phone and says I need to download the latest version of the device software for it to connect. It also says i will loose all my data if i do so and of course I cant back it up in the usual way as it cant read my phone data.
It seems im stuck in a dead end unless im prepared to loose all my data. Is there any way around this so I can back up the data somehow ?
thanks

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB10068 "JVM 102" error is displayed on the BlackBerry smartphone
Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.
Unfortunately, with that error, it is highly likely that your data is already gone from your device...hence, a backup would be irrelevant. Regular backups, like insurance, are neither a reactive nor an optional activity.
Good luck and let us know!

    Hi, please can someone help me?
    Have just returned home from abroad where my iphone 4 worked perfectly.
    Now at home it wont receive wifi. It picks up the signal which shows in phones display but cant connect to the internet. Computers and ipod all working fine so I assume it must be a problem with the phone.
    Have checked that wifi is turned on and tried resetting phone to no avail

    Hello melissa82686,
    From your description, it sounds like you may have been using the SMS feature of Continuity in iOS 8. If this is the case and it has somehow become misconfigured after a recent change, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
    SMS
    With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a  conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.

    What happens when you try to sign into iCloud on your PC?

  • HT1926 when i try to install itunes onto comp the message keeps coming up fatal error during installation please install again over and over again i now have my phones but cant sync to my account

    so how do i get around the problem of installing itunes

    the older version of bonjour could not be removed
    Let's see if we can make some progress with that one first.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT4946 Just backed up my phone but cant see my contacts in iTunes info. Are they there?

    So I need to restore my iPhone as its doing all sorts of funky stuff while on calls. I backed up via iTunes however when I look at the 'info' area in my device contacts is blank with only the option of 'Syncing with google contacts'. To sync or not to sync?! Do I need to sync? Should I sync anyway?
    So long as I have my contacts post restore Im happy.
    Thanks!

    You should have been syncing your contacts to your computer form day one.  If you fail ot do this regularly then you will likely lose them at some point.

    Is your backup in iTunes or iCloud?

  • IPhone 4G syncing with iTunes The screen does not show my phone number and backs up to an old file from four months ago.

    iOS 6.0 was available this week, so I updated my iPhone 4S. At first it showed a long yellow (other bar) of 10GB, then took the entire day to update my photos (about 20,000 of them.  So I tried restoring the phone and the message on iTunes was that I had restored from a different phone. Now I cannot get my phone number to show up on the summary page of iTunes. It says n/a.
    And it restores from a backup in June. And those are locked.  Any ideas how to get back up to date?
    Thanks,

    Never mind. It updated itself...

  • Want to upgrade a phone but cant

    There is nothing on the website that lets me upgrade, the thing says account maintenance but I don't have that, This is the main account for the plan and should be able to pay bills and do what ever, but for some reason I cant upgrade or activate phones.

    Are you able to view the usage details and bill for all of the lines on your plan?  If not, then you are not signed in as the account owner.  Sometimes, the wrong line can get registered as the account owner through MyVerizon, so try signing into your other line(s) account(s) and see if you get the option to upgrade.  It should appear as a button right next to the picture of the phone on your main page.
    If you need help identifying the account owner line, or you want to switch it, just call *611 and they will help you.

  • TS3992 why does my e mail not back up on icloud its set to do so on my phone but doesnt back up to icloud

    why does my email not back up to i cloud from my iphone 4 it's set to do so in my icloud settings on my phone and backs up contacts but not emails

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Your mail isn't backed up in iCloud. If you are using your @me.com or @icloud.com, all your mails are stored in iCloud, and when you delete them from here, you can't recover them. Mails aren't backed up onto iCloud. When you have Mail turned on in Settings > iCloud, it just means that you are using your @me.com or @icloud.com address on your iPhone
