[Q] Can't deploy XAPs anymore - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Samsung Focus (rev 1.3) which is interop-unlocked using Jaxbot's WindowBreak.
Everyt
My desktop (Windows 7 x64) was able to:
1. Connect and sync via Zune
2. Deploy XAPs
3. Create backups using the Easy_Backup tool
4. Connect to Cab_sender
While it is still able to do 1, 3, & 4, it just cannot deploy XAPs anymore. It's not a problem with the phone as I can still deploy xaps from my laptop.
Every XAP deployer I use returns the following error:
"Failed to connect to device. The specific module cannot be found"
I've tried re-installing Zune, my .NET is upated. I even tried installing the full WP7.1 SDK but it didn't help.
Googling the error hasn't turned up much.
What could be the problem here?

I had the same problem, but I didnt want to reinstall the whole wp7 sdk. Uninstall the wp7 sdk(only if you dont need it) and then try W.I.N.C.O´s wp7 mini sdk. That one worked well for me

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. I had this installed prior to the start of the problem. I installed the full SDK only later.
I tried this again, but the installer just disappears moments after it executes.

Device not connected - Help, can't deploy apps anymore

Hi,
I have an unbranded HTC 7 Mozart T8696 Device running NoDo 7392.
It was chevron unlocked before I upgraded to NoDo and I was able to install apps aferwards. Currently sideloaded apps still work, so I assume the chevron unlock is still active. After about one month I wanted to sideload another app, but I always get an error telling me the device is not connected to the PC (I tried XAP Deploy and "Windows Phone Device Manager" even though Zune is running and showing the device as connected.
Any Ideas what might be wrong? I already tried uninstalling .net framework 4 and windows phone developer tools and re-installing, but it still shows "device not connected"
try this ... go to C\windows\system32\drivers\etc , open the file named "hosts" with notepad and delete any lines that say windowsphonedevelopement...
Hi,
thanks for your feedback. my hosts file is empty, still not working.
I am still using Zune 4.7 should I update to 4.8?
i had this same problem with my hd7 before and it worked after deleting that ... thats weird , yea 4.8 is now officially released u should update ..hopefully it will solve ur problem
still no luck, even with Zune 4.8

thanks, but this just doesn't help me
Failed to connect to the device. Ensure that the device is completely booted and is connected to the PC.
This can be caused by several reasons, including if the device is off. If the device is already connected, sometimes disconnecting and then reconnecting the device may fix the problem. Rebooting the device may also fix this problem.
This is what i tried multiple times. Rebooting the PC, rebooting the phone, re-installing .NET Framework 4, re-installing WP7 developer tools... all to no avail...
did u make sure the phones sync relationship with zune is not guest
Yes, I made sure it is. Nothing has changed on my PC really, except i switched routers. I am not sure what's happened...
hmmm maybe u can try going into device manager and uninstalling then reinstalling the phone drivers
I also went along and tried that. Still no luck.
EDIT: to clarify, I selected to uninstall the device and delete the driver files along with it. When I connected the phone it was re-installing the drivers.
tbh, i give up now. It's probably my phone and I can't be bothered to start from scratch again.
sorry i couldnt help u fix the problem
Instead of zune. Try using wpconnect.exe instead.
Thats all I use and its alot quicker that opening up zune and everything.
If you have Developer Tools 7.0 and the January Update wpconnect can be found here
C:\program files\microsoft sdk's\windows phone\v7.0\tools\wpconnect\
Restart your computer then connect your phone via usb wait for computer to recognize the phone. Then run wpconnect.exe... Dont run zune at all.
Hello,
thanks for your feedback, but wpconnect is giving me the same error as all deployment apps:
Failed to connect to the device.
It suggests i open zune and close it again. Zune itself recognises my phone and is able to sync data to it. WPconnect and deployment apps keep on telling me the phone is not connected...
*Bump* Anyone else have this problem?
could it be a pc registry problem ?
*bump* Still can't sideload
Hello !
Actually I've got the same problem.
Reparing .NET does nothing.
I've tried many things, as uninstalling programs that could interact on USB (VM Ware Workstation, Oracle VirtualBox, Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 and so on).
None of the XAP Deploy application works... And ChevronUnlocker is concerned to.
I don't know what to do.
Here I am too...same problem with my gf's optimus 7, no deplyment tool can connect to device, error 0x89731812, Zune works flawlessly.
Did you guys find the problem after warranty repair?
So, I seem to be running into this problem every 4 weeks... I am starting to hate this, I can never fix the issue aside from hard resetting my phone with a new ROM...
Anyone found a solution to this problem yet? I am currently on DFT v2 and I can't deploy xaps via PC. I can still deploy with the built in XAP deployer, but I have 2 xaps that I can't deploy using this method...

[Q] Help! Reformatted computer and can't deploy xap anymore

Hi I've just reformatted my computer and installed the following setups related to Windows Phone
1)Windows 7.1 SDK
2)Windows Developer Tools CTP
3)Zune
4)XAPdeployX v0.9
5)Microsoft Visual Studio
For some reason no matter what deployer i use it gives me an error
1)XAPdeployX doesn't even let me open it up. It gives an error "Error: Unable to start. (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.) YES i have installed CoreConInstall and vs_sdeprolightup-enu
2)Phone 7 Deployer didn't work as well giving me an error "Error Deploying to the device. It is not properly configured."
It's as if my phone is not unlocked which i am 100% sure because i could deploy XAP before i reformatted my computer
Thanks in advance for the help
Not sure why you'd deploy the dev tool CTP, or at least why you'd say it's related to WP7. It's probably not your problem, but...
Out of curiosity, what version of Windows are you running?
Win 7 64bit and its updated.
Why isn't CTP related? I thought you needed Windows Developer Tools for deployment of XAP
Nope. WP7 SDK and Zune is all you need for XAP deployment.
A full copy of Visual Studio can ease development but isn't needed. A third-party xap deployer isn't needed at all, though the official one is kind of feature-bare. The Windows dev tools (as opposed to the Windows Phone dev tools) aren't even relevant. Certainly not the CTP ones (I assume you mean the ones for the Win8 tech preview?) as those weren't even available until a few months ago. Visual Studio installs the standard Windows SDK anyhow.
I assume you're able to connect the phone to Zune and sync files, etc?

[Q] Accessing IsolatedStorage from PC

Guys,
I used Windows Phone Power Tools to access my isolatedSotorage folders on my LG Optimus 7, but since I don't want to install the full WP SDK, it doesn't work anymore. Any suggestion? Maybe some other software.
BTW the error WPPT gives me it some missing VisualStudio Assemblies.
Also, I don't like TouchExplorer really much, since it installs Windows Device Manager which I never was able to unistall.
To deploy I just use W.I.N.K.O.S.'s mini SDK

Samsung WP7 USB - to - PC not being recognized ?!?!?

Hi all !
This is so simple but it is driving me crazy.
I run Win 7 X64 and have a new [ network unlocked ] Samsung Focus 2 SGH-i667 phone.
No matter what I do, the PC will not fully recognise the phone when it is usb connected to the PC.
Zune *does* see it
Kies [ latest version ] does *not* see it.
Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools does *not* see it.
Windows *partially* does see it but it does not load the "Qualcomm CDMA MSM" drivers - as such,developer unlocking so as to side-load application XAP's is impossible.
I have tried numerous USB cables / numerous different USB ports / the *latest* Samsung USB drivers / forcing Windows Update / even a clean machine etc..... all to no avail.
I plug the phone in, it starts to load the driver and then it comes up with Device Driver not found - I let Windows Update do its thing, but still no go.
Please Help !
This is such a simple thing,
How can I make Win 7 X64 *see* my Samsung WP7 phone fully so that I can developer unlock it to side-load application XAP's ?
All help will be hugley appreciated.
Ben
I pl
my first suggestion would be to remove all the drivers you have installed and get it working correctly with zune, the best way I find to do that is use This program, it lists all USB devices, delete all the ones that maybe associated with WP, delete and uninstall!
then remove zune
install zune, restart then plug in your phone, see what happens then, for now, forget any other driver you may think you need,

Hi RC
Genuinley - many thanks for helping out.
Did what you suggested - everythinhg is clean as a whistle - still the same issue - Zune sync's and see's the phone, but Win 7 X64 see's some of it but not enough for the developer unlock [ chevronwp7 ] to proceed - it jusy comes up with the error saying something like cant connect via usb - try re-opening zune etc.....
Please see the attached " devices.jpg " to see what my system is " seeing " .
My phone is a newer Focus 2 SGH-i667 WP7.5 phone - maybe its too " new " ?
Any help will be grealty appreciated.
Thanks again,
Ben

if its syncing with zune then your at least half way there, did you leave zune open when using the XAP deployer? did you install the full SDK? I know there are "smaller" packages out there but where theres doubt there are potential problems, we need to turn them in to real problems or rule the out so uninstall whatever SDK you used, make sure the full SDK is re installed.
Im actually about to try installing my Focus S on a brand new Win 8 x64 system So ill double check all the steps but I didn't think we needed the Samsung drivers to XAP install, I thought that was cab updates and QPST stuff.
Anyhow, make sure zune is running and is synced, make sure you remove and reinstall the full SDK and get back to me, ill check all the steps today
its connected to win 8 at the moment, no zune, no SDK and its installed as a portable device (Samsung SGH blar blar) im just getting the zune package, ill sync it, then ill install SDK and attempt some XAP deploying

Thanks - I'll do that and report back - look forward to hearing how you go at your end too.

ok, exact step by step - clean install of win 8
plug phone in (device manager lists it as a portable device - Samsung SGH-i937)
Download zune 4.8 and install, it will ask you to unplug the device so unplug it
plug in device and sync it properly
turn off zune
download and install the full 7.1 SDK note that it will throw up all sorts of errors, just install it anyway
don't restart
then download the SDK 7.1.1 patch, that will let it run on windows 8
don't restart
turn on zune and sync (note that device manager still lists it as a portable device - Samsung SGH-i937)
open up application deployment from the sdk and upload your XAPs (assuming you have it unlocked that is?)
the mere fact that is installing other drivers tells me its maybe conflicting, remove all traces of the drivers using USBDVIEW, also uninstall them, check the add remove programs in the CP and remove anything in there as well, the strange thing is I get those drivers installed when I mess about with the low level hardware using QPST, oh try a different USB port as well, not on the same bank, use a different set if you can.

Hi dazza
In your Device Manager, do you get any " yellow flags " like I do with the .jpg I posted above ?

Error 0x89731812

Hello, I tried deploy a XAP in multiple ways, but I constantly get 0x89731812 error.
I use a Windows 8 PC (I think here lies the real problem, there are no tools for Windows 8)
I tried developer XAP Deployer
I tried TomXAP Deployer
I tried Windows Phone Device Manager (Never worked anyway)
Zune is running
If i sent the XAP via email to myself i can install it, but i want to install it from the PC!
same problem here
