Anyone see Desktop Manager 7.1 in Beta Zone?

The note provided with the dev alpha states this should be downloaded to perform an OS update.

I know full well an OS update is not available but after doing a wipe I need to get back to square one and was hoping to try this method. Unfortunately I am unable to connect my device to device manager to perform an update as drivers are needed.

I believe you will probably have to start from scratch if you do a wipe... I would assume you would be able to connect to the computer though. The RIM usb driver is a generic one, device non-specific. Try the BDM that came with the PB 2.0.1.358, 7.0.0.58, and see if it recognizes. It is the newest version of BDM.
After you wipe, once you connect to wifi, it should allow you to download the necessary modules, like on the playbook.
But then again, I don't have an actual alpha device, i'd love one

. I'm writing this based on my knowledge of the QNX system, and how it works on the playbook.

This process abruptly fails. I am quite sure desktop manager 7.1 is going to be required for a reload as the dektop manager literally displays nothing about this device hence the "Unknown Device" and a PIN of "0".

It tries to connect briefly to find an update only to immediately return a misguided internet connection failure alert (which is not accurate). I have not thrown a packet sniffer on the system to see what it tried to connect to however.

The info included stated that Desktop Manager 7.1 would be available and I am trying to find out if anyone has seen it...

There is currently NO firmware for the Dev Alpha device.
I have done the proper firmware requests and the update server is empty.

If you brick, you're bricked out until a firmware update becomes available.

Its likely just a matter of time till they release an update or at least the current version for reload. I will wait.

Can you post the EXE or DMG for 7.1? I can not find it in my BetaZone account.

It's not there for anyone yet. Patience

Since they are beta testing 7.0 in the Beta zone. They would naturally want to make the fixes for 7.0 first and put it into 7.1.

DM isn't keycode protected so might as well just get it from the Beta Zone.
It doesn't look like there's an OS available for the Dev Alpha yet.

I downloaded this today and it hasnt shown up.

My BBDM still looks the same and nothing like the pic on the first page of Crackberry.

Any ideas why ?

EDIT: My bad I thought it was a complete face lift.
