Testing and Deployment

[rcheriton]

Here are the steps I took to de-brick my Dev Alpha(done the de-bricking at least 5 times) and keep it on 10.0.6.386 without bricking again.  I figure I would share it for anyone still having problems.

-Open BlackBerry Desktop manager version 7.1.0.32

-Plug in Dev Alpha to computer with USB cable

-Hold down power button until red LED comes on.  

-In about 5-10 seconds Desktop Manager will show a dialog box with "Repair" option. Click "Repair"

-Click Update

-Wait for computer to communicate to Dev Alpha (could take up to 10 minutes)

-Click Update again

-Update process will download and install 2 modules

-Device will reboot in approximately 5-10 minutes

-Complete setup wizard

-TURN PASSWORD OFF (having a password seems to prevent me from rebooting successfully or waking up the device from a lock screen).

I previously have used the same way to enter de-bricking mode,  but just this morning successfully upgraded to .386

Now, can install apps from BB App World :d

I wonder if they will make a breakthrough where our data are still kept intact even when the device is bricked?
