Hi,
I am new to this forum and a total beginner. Can anyone tell me how can I install apps using .xap files on a developer-unlocked WP7 device?
If you downloaded the Dev tools, you have an app called "Application Deployment" there ya go.. Or hunt down a XAP installer, there is a ton on this site.
Don't forget to hit thanks !
Also, when deploying make sure the device is actually plugged in, had a chance to connect, and that the screen is on and the home screen active (not locked).
Hey,
My LG E900 is the OS version: 7.10.8107.79. And I want to unlock it take to install applications and games XAP. I used the method by MFG, I put XAP in a Tom XAP Installer to install, and gives me this error when installing:
-Please Make sure your phone was unlocked !
-Please Make sure you connected device to PC and Zune launched
Try again?
What happening? This method does not it? You can get the original ROM and remain the ChevronWP7 up to this latest version? I have another way?
Thanks in advance and sorry my english!
PS: I can put original Rom, install ChevronWP7 and remain to Last Version (7.10.7740/7.10.8107, or other)?
Use the official Xap installer tool "Application Deployment" that comes with the SDK. The third-party installers are plagued with bugs and bad error messages. Many of them also require at least a few components from the SDK, even if they say otherwise.
If you want to make sure that the phone is ready to receive apps, try synching a file to it from Zune - Zune must be running and synched with the phone for XAP deployment.
I have unlocked my omnia w using my MS student dev account.Now i have sideloaded and tested 2 of my apps,and came to know there is a sideload limit of 3 apps.So i'm going to interop unlock to remove sideloading limit.
NOW THE PROBLEM IS,
Im going to follow Heathcliff74's method for interop unlocking,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
since i can only sideload 1 app more(2 apps already sideloaded),
ill deploy this app shown in his post to interop unlock( Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap).
but after this will i be able to deploy samsung tools and wp7root tools?(as my quota of 3 apps will be over).Beacuse if i cant deploy samsung tools after interop unlock,my 3g will be screwed.
So will i be able to sill deploy apps after deploying Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap?Please help,thanks
OK, you've got several things wrong here:
1. The easiest way to both dev-unlock *and* interop-unlock a Samsung phone is WindowBreak. It doesn't require being able to deply apps (dev-unlocked) at all, nor does it use up unsigned app limite.
2. You can remove the interop-unlock app immediately after installing it. The important change it makes is made through the installation, and is not removed by un-installing. There's no reason to even ever run the app.
3. You *could* always remove one of the other two apps, of course. When you un--install apps, they don't count against your limit (crazy, right?).
4. Since the whole thing that interop-unlock does is change the registry key that controls the unsigned app limit - and you even appear to already know this - why are you even asking? After interop-unlocking, your limit will be raised to a few billion, so yes, of course you'll be able to install more apps.
5. Most hacks of this type for Samsung now incorporate Auto Data Config. You *should* only need to reboot the phone to get your 3G back even if something happens to it.
Thanks for the quick reply.Windowbreak is not working on my phone.The exploit has been patched by samsung in its
recent update.
My question is that after i sideload Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap,will i be able to sideload WP7root tools?
(cuz my sideload limit of 3 will be over).Does just interop unlocking provide unlimited sideloading,dont we need to
edit registry with wp7tools or use removesideloadlimit.xap to provide sideloading after interop unlocking?
Else Without deploying wp7 root tools,i would not be able to touch the registry,and my interop unlock will be a waste!
Healthcliffs Interop Unlock will not work
I am in the same situation as you. I have student unlocked my Omnia W. I have tried loading Interop Unlock and it did not work on diagnosis version 1109. Also windowbreak does not work as the phone is updated. I have tried rolling back to old firmware using Flash tools. But they can't flash this phone. There is also no custom ROM available for Gen 2 Samsung. So, as of now, those with Samsung Omnia W updated to diagnosis 1109 cannot roll back. Waiting for something to happen with fingers crossed.
Interop Unlock *is* the "unlimited" sideloading. That's what control whether your phone is interop-unlocked. i think you have cause and effect reversed...
If you revert the Samsung firmware update (either roll back the update using Zune's backup, or re-flash an older stock ROM) you can use WindowBreak. If you don't, you won't even be able to use Heathcliff74's interop-unlock; it works exactly the same way as WindowBreak except it uses a XAP file (deployed via PC and requiring dev-unlock) instead of a ZIP file (deployed from a website and requiring no unlock at all).
If/when you are interop-unlocked, yes, you'll be able to install WP7 Root Tools. Why would you assume otherwise? Anyhow, interop-unlock is useful even without WP7 Root Tools (since it allows sideloading lots of apps) and, for the record, you can edit the registry without WP7 Root Tools (interop-unlock *is* a registry edit, nothing more - specifically, it edits the MaxUnsignedApp registry value that controls how many apps you can sideload).
So there is nothing to do,than waiting for new exploits,for omnia w?Thanks for the clarifications
Well, or what I suggested...
If you revert the Samsung firmware update (either roll back the update using Zune's backup, or re-flash an older stock ROM) you can use WindowBreak.

If you have a Zune backup, you can restore it by connecting your phone to the Zune software, then (on the PC) going to Settings -> Phone -> Update. There should be a button for restoring the latest backup. Note that you'll lose all changes to the phone made since that backup was created, including things like SMS and app data. You'll be able to re-install purchased apps, though.
I recommend also backing up your backups (more properly called "restore points") since otherwise Zune overwrites them with each new update. They're stored in %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\ and you can just rename the folder to prevent Zune from overwriting it (the folder will be re-created with the old name).

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.
Hi All,
I have been using my 2nd gen Samsung Win Phone for a while (Omnia W - GT-I8350 to be more specific). I have recently interop unlock it.
The main account on the phone is a US Live account. So the app store tied to the US version. I however now living in the UK and wanted to install O2 Priority Moments. The app is only on UK store and when I tab the link on O2 website from my phone, it doesn't allow me to install it due to country restrictions.
I managed to found the app page on my PC, and downloaded the XAP for installing via SD card. But my phone doesn't have a card slot. I tried to sideload the XAP using Deploy software. But it cannot be read by the application.
Also, I thought normal XAP should have no difference to a ZIP file. But those I downloaded from Windows Phone website just cannot be open with 7zip or RAR software. The same happens to another free app that I wanted to install, but only available in the Hong Kong store.
Can anyone shed me some light on sorting it out?
Many thanks,
Jack

As far as I know, XAP files cannot be opened and edited like, for example, apk files in Android, because Windows Phone isn't open source. Therefore, all the apps are protected from editing (you actually CAN open them in WinRAR!).
If you have a proper XAP file of the app, you should be able to sideload it with Tom XAP Installer for example. But I'm fairly new to the world of Windows Phone, so you might wanne wait for someone else's answer. In the meantime, take a look here, it seems to be possible to change your region and therefore download the app the official way: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/f...-allow-changing-your-windows-id-live-location

I have no problem in deploying other homebrew apps and/or "modified" apps in to my phone. Only those XAP downloaded from the windows phone website, those supposed to be installed via SD card, does work for me.
Anyone know how to make it work?
Thanks,
Jack

I think it's because now apps from Marketplace are encrypted, so maybe only Marketplace app can decrypt and install them.
If you're phone is unlocked, you can make an archive file for each installed app and then save it into your pc (if you search in this forum you should find some threads about this item).
Winrar or similar software "don't know" they need to decrypt the xap file.
"XAP downloaded from the windows phone website, those supposed to be installed via SD card"
