Error 102
This is a java file error and means a .COD file on the device is corrupted. You will need to reload the software on the device. 

Error 350-359
These errors are associated with third party applications. Some data or the application itself is corrupt and needs to be removed. This can be achieved by using Desktop Manager to remove the installed applications, or a complete wipe and reload the BlackBerry OS.

Error 502/505/507/552
