Setuping BlackBerry Dev Alpha for development

Hello,
at first I did not know where to put this, since developer support forums are more code oriented, so I choose this forum, I hope it is okay, otherwise please move it to correct forum.
I am trying to setup BlackBerry Dev Alpha device for development on my workstation. I am running Windows 8 Pro x64, freshly installed and I installed latest BlackBerry Development Kit and BlackBerry Device Manager. The Alpha device was updated to the latest version. Now I am having trouble connecting to the device in the IDE.
My question is, why my PC cannot connect ot BlackBerry Dev Alpha device? IDE displays Unable to connect. Check USB cable or WiFi connection.
The following facts are true:
- Device is connected with normal MicroUSB cable without hubs
- Device is detected in BlackBerry Device Manager and IP is displayed
- Development mode is on, password is set
- IP of the device is 169.254.1.1, set in development mode screen (tried also another IP, no effect)
- Target in Momentics is created manually (autodiscover does not work)
- Windows Firewall is OFF
- Pinging the device IP in command prompt returns no reply
Is there something wrong with the device? Considering I cannot run camera, I might have received bad device.
Best Regards,
Legoless

I got same sometime.
I'm use action as below to solve.
1. Check USB Cable
2. Check Device in Device Manager , you may found UNKNOW Device or device with yellow "!" sign.
3. Remove all unknow device.
4, unplug USB Cable and re-plug again
5. try detect hardware by scan hardware,
6, If device not complete , Try force install device driver for new hardware that you computer found.
Hope it help.
Sorry for my English.
If it helped please click LIKE for me.
Thank.

1. Download DDPB Installer for windows (http://ddpb.dauden.vn/)
2. Download *.bar files at http://playbookbar.com
3. Turn on your BB10, Option-Security - Development Mode ON
3. Execute DDPD
4. Connect BB10 to PC, add the *.bar files and install it.

Dev alpha c official os update requested

Hi friends
If u get some news about the BlackBerry dev alpha c official Os update, then post here....not the leaked one
Thanku

Ok, looks like I had to do a battery pull and then just keep tapping the 'Try it' button. Eventually it moved me to a screen where I could swipe in an app and perform the tutorial actions. Huge PITA, but I hope I'm the edge case here.

Independent developer needs dev license for BW

Hello. What are the steps for an independent developer to get a non-trial license of BW for development purposes?
Thanks,
Tim

Here is the "License FAQ" for the Connector. The PDK might have a different license.
1. Do I need a developer license for the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET?
Developer licenses are always required when SAP development tools and functionality are being used for development.
2. We already use ABAP for development. Do we need additional licenses to use the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET?
If you have existing developer licenses these named persons already have the required license to develop solutions based on the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET. If additional persons want to develop based on the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET, you will have to acquire additional developers licenses for them. In any case, all customers can download the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET from the SAP Service Marketplace under the Quick Link Connectors.
3. How can I purchase developer licenses for the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET?
To obtain the necessary license please contact your local SAP office.
4. Do I need a runtime license for running an application that uses the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET?
The runtime does not require any immediate license fees. However, please note that each user accessing application functionality through the SAP connector for Microsoft .NET is required to be licensed under a respective solution or component license.

Q10 10.2.1 OS on a Dev Alpha C?

Hello,
I would like to use the "full" 10.2.1 OS release of the Q10 on my Dev Alpha C and not just the Developer OS version of it.
Would the full Q10 OS work on a DAC?
If so, where can I download it?

Yes, two ways.
I would recommend using the Sachesi install process here.

You can also use this:

Check out OSBB at this link here http://opensourcebb.com/2013/01/download-links-for-all-playbook-and-dev-alpha-oses/ I'm not sure where BlackBerry keeps a backlog of these or if they do. But you might want to use your PC / Mac to download whatever the latest OS is from developer.blackberry.com That's what I did before sending it back.

Upgrade dev alpha to bb os10

hi, recently i acquired my z10 with the bb os10 software. However, there is a problem with the BBM as it can't connect to server. Then i use the autoloader for bb dev alpha and the bbm works. Now i want to revert back to bb os10 for the official release, is that possible? because i can't access my media features and most features went missing. Please help me with this problems.

The BBM server issues from the past 24 hours should be remedied by now, and you should have no problems.
If they persist, you should call your mobile provider and have this issue escalated to RIM's technical support.

To load stock OS (last resort)
If for some reason the above steps don't work using BlackBerry Link you can always reload the OS using Internet Explorer. These steps are a bit trickier so read through and make sure you understand everything before you get started.
- Make sure you don't have any BlackBerry software running on your PC (BlackBerry Link and BlackBerry Desktop Software)
- Detach all BlackBerry smartphones, including the BlackBerry 10 device that you are going to restore.
- Using Internet Explorer navigate to www.BlackBerry.com/updates then scroll down the page and select the Check for Updates button.
- Connect the BlackBerry 10 device you want to restore
- Hold the power button for 10 seconds until the device turns off, then press the power button again so it turns on.
- A prompt will appear and the BlackBerry smartphone will show in the drop down list on your PC shortly after the LED lights up (it could show up as USB: UNKNOWN or USB: BlackBerry (PIN) – both are normal/fine).
- Click the OK Button as soon as it becomes enabled - you only have a few seconds to do this!
- Once the above steps are completed successfully a dialog will be displayed stating Checking for BlackBerry Device Software updates
- Your device power itself off after two minutes. Shortly after, the device LED should turn green.
- Continue to wait after the LED turns green and you will be prompted to install BlackBerry Device Software. Follow the prompts to install the BlackBerry Software and finish the software installation
Note: You need to be running windows again for this.

Want to Un install the BB Z 10 Dev Alpha

Dear Team!
After a recent update to my BB Z10, it shows as Dev Alpha and now my BB Z 10 has got limited functions.
Please be kind enough to advise how can I go back to my original BB Z 10 software.
Kind Regards
Aslam Fidha

Hey aslamfidha86,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Did you update your software from an official release from your network service provider or was it a different version from the computer? Also what version did you update to?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Do I need a separate iPhone for development?

Hello fellow developers,
I'm excited that I'm finally accepted to the dev program so I can test my app on my iPhone. Before I start testing, I have a couple of questions though. Do I need a dedicated iPhone device for the development? or is it possible to use my only iPhone for both development and personal use?
Another question is, I've read that I need to install an iPhone OS on my device. Given that I have updated my iPhone today with the latest official 2.0 firmware, do I still need to install another binary for the development?
Cheers,
Jake

1) I use my iPhone both for development and personal use. The last few beta updates have been pretty stable so personal use is possible and is not as annoying as it used to be. However, you should expect some performance issues (mostly due to extensive logging and probable debug builds) and unexpected crashes since the releases were still beta (point 2 might affect this).
2) I haven't been able to update my iPhone to the latest gold master v2.0 of the iPhone firmware yet. Since I already have v2.0 beta 8 installed, iTunes doesn't seem to be able to distinguish between the two versions. According to the information available on the development portals, we should be able to use the GM firmware for development purposes, which imho would be awesome!
