Hi there,

I'v done that like 4 hours ago, and it keeps showing a window with a message "uploading RAM image".

Is it right to take that long?

Should I restart all over again?

Thanks in advance.

What does the 1 red light, then 6 red lights mean?

Also it does not start, only a black flat screen

How do I unbrick it?

Thanks

i've got the problem

i've wipe the BB10DA because my password too short only 2 characters.

then i try to repair it but FAILED

now, my device only RED BLINKING 10111011

can not UPGRADE the latest OS again

need more advice from RIM.

I've solved it.

I was using the BB Desktop Software for windows as instructed. (Using VMWare on my Mac).

Then I unpluged the device and got the red blinking lights. (1 red, then 6 reds)

The solution: I connected the device to my Mac version of BB Desktop Software and a message appeared telling me if I wanted to repair the device, I selected YES, and about 20 minutes later the Dev Alpha rebooted itself.

When it started, it had already installed the new version of the OS.

i've fix it too

in my case is only use WINDOWS 7 on your PC/LAPTOP.

i've try on WIN XP SP 3 for much times and always FAILED.

so change your system of PC/LAPTOP.

WINDOWS 7 is recommended

Try this:

1) Plug Dev Alpha into computer
2) Open device manager (right click on my computer, properties, hardware)
3) uninstalled the “RIM PlayBook CD-ROM” drivers that were installed
4) uninstalled USB Mass Storage Device that connected to RIM Playbook
5) unplugged dev-alpha
6) killed all processes that have “RIM” in them
7) Reinstalled AppLoaderWebSL_7.1.0.34.msi
8) ran desktop manager
9) rebooted dev-alpha (at this point, there should have a popup saying “BlackBerry smartphone driver installing”)
10) reboot dev-alpha again and desktop manager should prompt you that it can’t connect – click “repair”
11) press and hold power button again until you see red LED and now, it should recognize the device and sees an update and updates again.

Looks like I double posted, http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Other-BlackBerry-Smartphones/Warning-Do-not-secure-wipe-your-....

Sorry folks

Also, if you think it is frozen, you can verify this.

Windows 7: 

1)  Control+Shift+Escape

2)  Goto Performance

You should see lots of activity

3)  Press Resource Monitor

4)  Double click on launcher.exe, and monitor the download
