Had a 10.0.6 device tha wouldn't boot up. Connected it to Desktop Manager and performed a repair which left the device installed with 10.0.4.

Connected the device to Desktop Manager to upgrade it to 10.0.6. Once the upgrade was complete, the device boots up and displays the following:

Thank you for participating!

The BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha

device program has ended.

Any way I can get out of this?

Thanks.

Never mind. It seems others were also experiencing the issue. A device reset seems to have solved the problem (for the time being).

Hi, How did you reset the device my device is not getting detected also.

[smdesai]

I kept the power button pressed until the device shutdown. Then pressed it again to restart.

Pressing the power button for 10 seconds should perform a hard reset.

I tried that and worked thanks for your replay.

[gperry]

Great, can we  mark this as answered so we can better track issues?

Some people are reporting that they have to repeat each day, so you might have to do that.

Yes I think you can as there's a solution that works.

I for one will make sure the device always has a charge. Mine got into a state where it wouldn't boot so I had to repair it and then update from then on. The whole process was time consuming.

[nimithingu]

Instead even if you restart the device after the reset it again pops up so again have to do the reset.. so need to be careful while using it....

Just whent through this myself. Did a soft reset, was presented with the message, hard reset and I'm back in business. Hope the next beta update does something about this.
