Testing and Deployment

"It has been frozen there for about 30 min"

Mine was stuck for a couple of hours.

Then it must have timed out, after which it gave me the option to retry. When I retried it more or less immediately started to install.

I don't know what it would take to permit over the air updates (as with Playbook) but whatever it would cost must be worth it to avoid this nonsense every time. I've wasted most of this afternoon and evening on what is rapidly turning out to be a waste of time.

Technically it is unrelated to this problem, but it is causing more and more people to wipe their devices.

This kills all the enthusiasm built by the Jam Events.

Got a bit further this time, as far as writing to device then got the error:

Unspecified error encountered [A:0x00000080]

It is booting now so I'll try again...

This time for sure! -- Bullwinkle

I got the error 0x80 today and it was because I was missing some space on my computer. Might be your case too.

Got mine working.

Ok, I got mine to detect a "repair" following most of what papped said, in combination with the following:

*NOTE* YOu may only have to start at step 13...

I got mine working using the following:

1) Plug Dev Alpha into computer

2) Open device manager

3) uninstalled the 2 "CD-ROMS" that were installed

4) uninstalled USB Mass Storage Device

5) unplugged dev-alpha

6) killed all processes that have "RIM" in them

7) uninstalled AppLoaderWebSL_7.1.0.34.msi

8) uninstalled desktop software

9) reboot PC

10) downloaded Desktop Software v7.1.0 B33 (BlackBerry - Desktop Software - US)

11) installed above

12) installed AppLoaderWebSL_7.1.0.34.msi

13) ran desktop manager

14) rebooted dev-alpha (at this point, the "smartphone should install")

15) reboot dev-alpha again and desktop manager should prompt you that it can't connect - click "repair"

16) *SUPER IMPORTANT* press and hold power button again until you see red LED and voila ... it recognizes the device and sees an update!

Lots of space on my machine, but I will keep an eye on that to see if if fills up as we go.

I ran the .msi file again and that reset the process back to downloading the module. Network seems busier now so it is taking longer but it is progressing steadily. Fingers and toes crossed.

At least it has never bricked yet, I always get back to 10.0.6

Edit:

I take it back. I had 8 GB free on C Drive and at about 20% done it was down to 7 GB free. So I freed up another 6 GB. Hope that will be enough. I have 14 GB free now.

Edit:

So the 0x80 error was disk space. Success!

Wow looks like its working for me so far! Thanks alot!!

[CrozyBB]

acolagrosso, what did you do to get it working? I followed the steps above and that has done nothing for me

Steps if you've bricked your Dev Alpha (only have web browser):

Launch WipeReload.bat

1. Make sure your mouse is over the disabled button to update on your computer
2. With your Dev Alpha plugged in, restart the device (hold power button for 10 seconds after the countdown shows)
3. When the dev alpha red led lights up, you have a split second to click that button in the WipeReload.bat application instance. If you miss it you'll need to wait until the dev alpha starts up and try again.
4. Update the device
