Silly question...but I like living dangerously...I read somewhere about running the Dev Alpha OS releases on the Playbook - I want some BB10 goodness to play with right now...any chance anyone could upload the OS once sorted?

**altrax** · 09-25-2012, 01:20 PM

Lol I cannot download the tool... the download link loops back to the same page... can anyone post or pm me the direct link address?

**altrax** · 09-25-2012, 01:22 PM

Lol nevermind... sill RIM and disabling stuff when you are using the blackberry hotspot. I switched to my wifi network and the link works fine.

*edit* I guess to be fair the webpage detects what OS you are running (by browser type maybe?) and shows the appropriate download link... so the hostpot running through my 9900 confusing the heck out of the page and it displays nothing.

Very exciting!!!

**djqstorm** · 09-25-2012, 01:50 PM

I can not get this to update using my mac... is anyone using a mac?

**cylaer** · 09-25-2012, 01:51 PM

Downloading right now! Cannot wait to test it!!!

**stickyiki** · 09-25-2012, 01:51 PM

I'm having trouble updating the device. I keep getting the 'Thank you for participating!' screen. I've had a few instances where I was able to get into the OS and try updating. It would say Install complete but it would not reboot the phone and my phone would still be on the same OS it was on before.

Any ideas?

**altrax** · 09-25-2012, 01:53 PM

Im downloading now. but can anyone confirm email / texting capabilities (assuming you have a sim.)

I am pretty sure they would have email available but texting would be cool

**snufkin** · 09-25-2012, 01:55 PM

error on installing installing every time, i tried desktop manager, then the new apploader, now i'm back to the familiar dev alpha random blinking red led and refusal to turn on.

I don't see any e-mail or texting capabilities - looks like the BlackBerry hub is a placeholder "Coming Soon..." as well. BBM is available.

I can't get my SIM card to recognize in any of the betas...Any suggestions?

I had the same issue, had to install the new AppLoader "AppLoaderWebSL_7.1.0.34" and then run WipeReload.bat and it took awhile but it downloaded 2 modules and it worked for me...

**altrax** · 09-25-2012, 01:58 PM

For those having trouble. download the apploader file listed in the first post but then instead of just running the .bat file run the apploader msi file

After running the and installing the msi file my Desktop Manager will now successfully (fingers crossed) debrick my DevAlpha... before it was erroring out before it started every time

I connected my device and the used the power down button to turn my device off, then back on. I was able to finally select repair and now the update is going through. I got the BlackBerry 10 splash screen on it.

Back up your device if you have any apps that you want to keep.

Thanks! That did the trick

**matt710** · 09-25-2012, 02:38 PM

I have just downloaded the update and installed on my alpha. However when I am unlocking the home screen and it is asking me for a password.

Anyone have any ideas what this could be as I haven't set one on the device?

Have you tried using your development mode password? I have noticed that when you set this password it also sets it as your device password.
