Hi,
I just want to register at Windows Phone App Studio and asking for a invitation code that requesting from Microsoft and after three days still haven't received.
Does anyone know where to get or how to get a invite?

Your devices will still need to be unlocked using the Windows Phone SDK. It doesn't matter if you use the WP7 or the WP8 SDK, they both have the stuff to Developer Unlock your WP7.5/7.8 devices. Your phone will need to be connected via USB for the unlock and the deployment of your apps. The app generated from the site will need to be downloaded and installed to your phone using the Application Deployment tool on yopur computer. Just make sure it says Device instead of emulator when deploying.

[Q] Syncing HTC HD7 with PC

Hi, I just recieved an HTC HD7 with Windows Phone 7 v. 7.10 (7720) and I have no idea how to sync it with PC as external storag, I mean I must take same printscreens and I downloaded an app called [XAP] Screen capture but I don't know how to copy it on device and then how to find it and install.
Can you help? I will be grateful.
Can somebody replay?
Try using the registry hack.
http://wmpoweruser.com/neat-registr...e-direct-loading-of-media-on-windows-phone-7/
And then there is the Zune software you can download.
The link is down.
Is there any other way to install an app or just to take a printscreen?
Downloaded XAPs can only be sideloaded with the Microsoft WP7 SDK developer tools, and you need to unlock your phone to sideload, which has a yearly fee of $100 to register your device for the ability.
The phone does not officially support mass storage, and simply copying a XAP to your phone using any mass storage hacks will not install the application.
So the conclusion is there's no way to take printscreen without "unlocking"?
One more question, is there any way to.do that if i'm running mango 7.5 ?

How to tell my phone is unlocked or not

I've just bought a second-hand Samsung Focus (SGH-i917) from a local cellphone vendor for developement purpose. From settings, about, it reports software version Windows Phone 7.5 and OS version 7.10.7720.68. Is there a way to find out if my phone is unlocked or not. If unlocked, how can I load XAP onto the phone? If locked, how can I unlock it. BTW, I do not pirate, just for developement.
Hi
You can see if your phone is locked or not trying to deploy a XAP file on it.
You can do this using a deployer like Tom XAP Installer.
You also need the Windows Phone SDK (download it HERE) which is necessary to develop applications and deploy them.
After installed, download a XAP file (or use your own), connect your phone and run WPConnect (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\WPConnect) and open Tom XAP Installer, select Add XAP files and click on Install. If the installations finishes correctly, your phone is unlocked, otherwise you have to unlock it.
You have two ways to do this:
- Official jailbreak by Microsoft (HERE), It costs 9$ and allows you to deploy 10 applications. You won't lose warranty.
- Downgrade to the 7004 firmware (VIDEO) and unlock it using ChevronWP7 (Download HERE), then before updating to Mango you have to send a file (unlock.xml) to your phone (Tutorial Here), otherwise you'll lose the unlock.
Thanks, I'll try your instructions.
@AshleyT: A couple of minor corrections:
The official ChevronWP7 Labs unlock is not by MS, though they permit it (thus "official"). They don't get the $9, though you do have to use a Live ID.
There is another official way to dev-unlock your phone: get a Marketplace developer ("AppHub") account. http://create.msdn.com ($99, goes to MS) or http://dreamspark.com (requires student email address, free). For these methods, use the Windows Phone Developer Registration tool that comes with the SDK download.
The reason I point out the apphub account option is that, if the OP wants to develop apps, he or she may want to publish them to the marketplace at some point. You can't do that with a ChevronWP7 unlock, official or otherwise, but you can with AppHub.
Chevron can check whether your phone is unlocked, or u can try to install one simple xap application to test this.
It seems that my phone is locked.
First I tried Tom XAP installer, it said:
-Please Make sure your phone was unlocked!
-Please Make sure you connected device to PC and Zune launched
Try again?
Then I tried Application deployment from Windows Phone SDK 7.1, which said
Error - Failed to connect to device as it is pin locked.
I am sure my phone is connected to PC as I can see music/video/picture in Zune.
Could someone explain to me what is "pin locked"?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To remove the error of pin locked u just need to swipe up the lockscreen and try to deploy the xap file.. it will be successfully deployed..
I countered the same problem earlier..
Hope this helps
i have successfully unlocked my Dell Venue Pro and i have 5 applications installed. Now when i do Hard reset I'd be able to install only 5 or 10 applications?ยจ
PS Sorry for my english

[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

[Q] Quick developer unlock wp7

Hi there, I saw these posts about developer unlock for windows phone 7. I tried to do every single one of them, but somehow somewhere I always get a mistake... I want to root or however you call it my windows phone 7.5[mango] and i am a noob when it gets about that.... I currently possess HTC Trophy, and i want to do this because i want to be able to send and transfer files via bluetooth. I also tried to install xap files via ie on wp but it say file type not supported... Anyone know a way i can install .xap file on my windows phone 7 that it's easy?
No such thing as a quick developer unlock for HTC phones.
This is the best guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
Nope
Nope, i need a tutorial on how to install .xap files, and on a link you gave me it says to install .xap file with xap file deployment tool... how the heck am i gonna do that when i can't open xap files since it's developer locked???
3. Download this attachment to your PC: HTC Interop Unlock.xap
4. Connect your device to a PC running Zune and install the xap-file using any xap-deploy-tool. You don't need to start the app. If it starts automatically, you can close it right away.
Currently, the only ways to dev-unlock a Trophy (or other HTC phone) are to get an AppHub account or use a custom ROM.
hmmmmh...
ummm, how do i do that? how do i use or set custom ROM? is there a guide or something... ?
For more device specific instructions and custom ROMs, go to the forums for your device. HTC Trophy, you said
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=809
In order to load a custom ROM, you need to downgrade and change the HSPL/RSPL. For the Trophy see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503298
As far as deploying XAPs to your phone from your computer, many options exist, but you have to be at least developer unlocked, and the only way is through AppHub right now. Thus, maybe flashing a custom ROM would be a better way to go.
Good Luck! and hit Thanks if you found this helpful.
