Testing and Deployment

Hmm...I'm going to do a new install on a other machine and see what happens

[fbloise]

hopefully it solves your problem

Yes it does solve your problems. But its irritationg when you have to wait downloading the updates for an hr three times a day. There should be some concrete solution for this.

I have tried on two machines with the same outcome. The desktop software is telling me to enter the password on the alpha device but the alpha Device doesn't pass the boot screen to enter the password. Its a catch 22. I'm locked out. I have not bothered writing any new code since the update came out. It should be easier. I don't think anyone should spend this much time for an update.

WOW !!! one more time... Just fixed the Dev Alpha sucessfully... Just opened the App Store.... and Boom... The Black Screen is back Again...   is there any way to sort this or should we stop developing apps until something rigid comes out?

I meet the same issue. After reinstall the system by Desktop manager 7.1, it still can not boot.  I seems that the imame isn't stable enough.

i had a simmilar issue today my device went dead and only the red light was blinking so i pluged it into the desktop manager then it asked if i wanted to update the os to 10.0.6 i clicked yes then it asked if i wanted to repair my device.

after i repaired it that way now the device works  normaly again.

the only thing is that you loos all your data.

Found a better Solution

Hello Guys I found a better soultion to get rid of this update. Reverting Back to Your old OS  10.0.4.197 

Steps

After updating/repairing your BB10 to 10.0.6.386 sucessfully

0. Ebable Developer mode and wifi file sharing on your PlayBook. Also, make sure that your Dev Alphak is charged to at least 25%.

1. Download Dingleberry. It is still available from http://dingleberry.it/

2. Download the BB1o Developer Alpha OS. You can choose either of these versions:

10.0.4.197,10.0.6.386 from http://www.theiexplorers.com/bb/OSs/PlayBook%20OSs/

3. Open the zip file and extract the qcfm.image.com.qnx.coreos.qcfm.os.sdk.desktop.xxxxxxxxxxxx.signed.bar (the other bar seems to be a wireless radio that is not necessary). The bar you want is the larger of the two.

4. Place the qcfm.image.com.qnx.coreos.qcfm.os.sdk.desktop.BB10_0_04.197.196525.signed.bar in the \Firmware\Custom folder of the Dingleberry folder. If this directory does not exist, create it.

5. Run Dingleberry and select Firmware. Select custom, and click update. Your firmware should update.

 NOTE: your sim might stop working after this. (I know, who cares, its of no use anyways).  I will not be responsible if your BB10 stops working. 

Now you can develop apps hasel free with your old OS.

TO RIM: If you want developers to contine develop Apps for BB10 Please do not stop this method, as RIM has no answer for this, so let others help.
