Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum (and to WP7)... I've been trying to install some .xap's, I successfully unlocked my HD7 with chevron, and I deployed one .xap with no problem... then I reconnected my phone to my pc and tried to deploy a few more but I keep getting the same error (with Application Deployment tool):
"Error - Installation of the application failed. XAP package signature is not valid or the WP manifest file is invalid. Re-sign with valid signature and fix the manifest file."
Can anyone please help me out with this? I can't seem to find anything about this on the web
yeah, its odd...some xaps install fine, but a particular few that i download give the same error and its killing me

THIS I HAVE NOTICED TOO
I tried to install a game my friend was developing on 3 devices and no dice. I thought it was a registry setting but evidently no.
Is there a registry edit to regulate app size?
yes, same problems , anyone know how to fix that , please share the trick
I didn't notice this. I'm going to check when I get home.
Sent using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
yeah i noticed it too
for these big xaps, i just install them with a smaller size and then install the big files with touchxperience or another phone->file-manager

could you explain your process a lil bit more? dont really get it ^^;
ok
First I extract the .xap into a folder. Next thing is to open the xap and remove the large files and look which guid the app has in the manifest.xml .
Install .xap . Now we use TouchXperience or Advanced Eplorer to copy the files into Applications/Data/guid/* and voila. extra-big-xap is installed
Holy Smoke °_°!
Thanks for the hint, gonna try that one out~
Man... this question was asked by me before already ... i guess i wasnt specific enough on my title ><
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020532
and i also checked the folder structure...
it seems the file was deployed to Application/install/GUID/Install
well thats where i found the deployed files
AND IM HAPPY TO SAY IT TOTALLY WORKS!! YAYYYY THANKS FOR DISCOVERING THIS METHOD!!!
Hm didnt work for me ^^;
May I ask for a step by step guide?
File transfer is extremely slow, i'm getting old transfering 200MB apps....
If the game only has 1 big file, you can use the usb trick for windows, your files will be then in my document / zune /content / ...
I cause that problem too, but when I tried installed 2 files (with small file size) in same times that working
but i fail the method delete big file in xap and installed
by the way I don't found XDA app for WP7. I search for a week and my eye nearly blind thanks
yay... I success install big xap to my phone. method delete big file is working but copy file to phone is need to wait for age
There is a MUCH easier method. Simpy deploy using Homebrew Marketplace found here:

Thanks, i'll reupdate to NoDo and try it out
EDIT: not working
On what OS did you try? did you use the MS dev tools or ConMan libs?
I used Dev Tools with this program. I deployed Guitar Hero 5 (212 MB) as a test and it worked. The Harvest also gave me no problems.
Edit: Now I tried it again and got a timeout error. Then I launched Windows Phone Device Manager 1.2 and deployed again with Homebrew Marketplace and in worked. Weird
Edit 2: My desktop OS is Windows 7.
This method is if everything fails (quite tedious).... it worked for me every time so far
You need:
- Unlocked phone
- TouchXperience (Windows Phone Device manager) or advanced explorer (So that you can transfer files from PC to Phone)
1. Make a copy of the .xap file (just in case u screw it up)
2. Open the .xap file with winrar
3. Extract everything into a New folder
3. Find the file "WMAppManifest.xml" - open it and check the "productID", record this number down
3. By using winrar, delete files inside the .xap file until you have around 20mb left of the .xap file (Make note of what you deleted it, i usually just delete the content folder)
4. Deploy the modified .xap file
5. Now by using Touchexperience, transfer the files u deleted into the following destination in ur phone: (Just in case u forget, you have already extracted all the files previously, so find the deleted files from there)
Applications\Install\"Product ID"\Install
(make sure the folder structures remain the same as it was in the .xap file)
6. And you are done
I hope i was clear with this!!~~

Need some advice please guys
I have a samsung omnia 7, that is chevron unlocked. I would like to install mango OS on it. I currently have os version 7.0.7004. I have already followed the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152422 and have copied over the relevant files (.xml) and I have also got mango ready to install.
COuld somebody help me out?
Thanks
First things first. I would suggest using zune to update to 7392. Make sure you update to that first and still are unlocked. Once you have done that there is a wealth of information in this thread on how to proceed from there.
The main thing you need to remember is in that zip file there is a xap called -Unlock_Mango_XBMODDeployer.xap deploying this file and copying over the file it creates to your Windows directory on the phone is CRUCIAL to keeping the phone unlocked throughout the procedure. Basically it makes a file called CustClear.provxml and this file is located in My Documents\My Ringtones\ on the phone after you run that xap. Be sure to install TouchXplorer.xap on your phone and just use that to copy that file to your windows directory.
And AFTER you have run the update do the provision of that file. On samsung devices I am not sure how you do that but search through this forum and I am sure you will figure it out.
Good luck

Thanks for the reply man!
I was really starting to doubt this commnity.
Can i use any version of zune to update and how do i keep the unlock?
Will zune just update to the NODO one alone and not bypass that and update to the latest firmware?
Okay, so i have updated to the latest build of mango and i have lost my unlock. I followed the instructions to the letter and no joy. Can i get it back?
Remember that custclear file? You have to re-provision the phone to unlock. Hard to copy links via phone but in the developer section there is a walk through on how to do that on a Samsung. It works with the diagnosis code to do it
Sent from my HTC Surround, filled with Mango deliciousness.
Here is that link to how do re-unlock it with a samsung.

That would have been perfect if the program you built worked. Thank you very much but I am going to have to seek another solution. Every time I try to use the IsoStoreSpy, the software crashes.
UPDATE
@contable and when I try your method, the application deployment program tells me the XAP is invalid.

My .xap file is working well on chevron unlocked devices, so it should also work on developer unlocked devices.
I can deploy the file with the official deployment tool or WPV xap deployer 1.5.
When I unzip the XAP and change any of the XML files is when it decides the XAP file is invalid. I can upload the original file.

I have changed the xml files inside the xap 1000 times.
Did you change the file extension from .xap to .zip before unzipping ?
Here are the steps
1. Unzip files after renaming extension to .zip
2. Update XML
3. Rezip files with 7zip
4. Rename file extension to .xap

I use Winrar not 7zip...
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
same result using winrar compression
is there another way to deploy apps?
Anyone have any suggestions?
Are you on Mango or NoDo? If Mango you have to do some reg edits when you get to Mango or you can't side load unsigned apps (I think; I could be wrong).
I was trying to be able to do what is described in my first post of this thread. Those tweaks can be applied and carried into Mango, I am currently on NoDo. About to give up though
I cant get from 7392 to 7403. When I click on update it just says my phone in up to date. What am I missing?
I am using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215501
I can load the crustclear file on to my phone and move it into the windows folder using touchexplorer. But when I connect my phone to zune it wont update. It says I am up to date using version 7392.
u need to connect ur phone make sure zune is closed and Open the "NoDoToRC" folder and run the file "ISV_Provisioning_Live.exe" with admin rights after that zune will find mango beta 1 update follow instructions ...
Will I stayed unlocked?
which phone do u have
T mobile hd7. I am at 7392 unlocked
7. How to keep chevron unlock when moving on from (in my case) 7392 to Beta 7403
a. If you don't allready have this: Run Marketplace, select HTC Apps and select and install HTC ConnectionSetup
b. Start XBMOD.Files.Deployer (Installed in #5) on your device, it will install a file called CustClear.provxml. Remember to uninstall XBMOD.Files.Deployer after its done.
c. Run TouchXplorer and copy CustClear.provxml from My Documents\My Ringtones\ to \Windows, then exit Touchxplorer.
d. DO NOT RUN CONNECTION SETUP NOW, IF YOU DO, YOU WILL LOOSE UNLOCK IN 7403.
after that run the nodotorc file
