I have an HD2 running the WP7 Rom, with the XAP installer running under admin.
Whenever i try to install an app, I get the error connection message...
I have zune running, and i've unlocked the phone and i downloaded many apps via marketplace. and also i cannot use windows SDK deployment it says "invalid xap"
i have seen this in many posts but bno threads and no answer at all
Please help!
if u have installed the registry trick that your phone is shown as usb device u cant install via sdk.
Well I just installed WP7 on my T-Mobile Leo and also downloaded some apps. I'm discovering the forum maybe for 7-8 hours and got many solution for this. After I installed necessary programs like Connection Setup, TouchXplorer I didn't get any problem but after sync with Zune I couldn't install other apps I downloaded then as usual I searched if someone had the same problem and figured out Zune relock your device after every sync. That might be another problem but after I tried to unlock it again via Chevron, it worked and now I installed all apps with current sync.
You can try to unlock it again via Chevron and use TOM XAP as before if you ever unlock your phone '.)
i had same trouble few times... here is what i did... i uninstalled all the sideloaded app... and used the unlocker to unlock the phone... and used the xap provided here to prevent zune from unlocking it again... then installed sideload app limit removal... and installed other xap's normally ... and it hasn't locked or gave me any problem since then....

If i am not wrong tap and hold on applications icon until a menu opens , then select "UNinstall"
I had this trouble.
Do you have Net Framework 4 installed?? If not then this is probably your problem.
Also try a custom ROM. These claim to be unlocked and this will make installing xap a breeze. I currently have HD2 1.00.00.WP7 and it works fine. Dont have to go into flight mode when connecting by USB to sideload apps or games and I havent had any apps come up as revoked by Microsoft yet in 3 days.
Hope this helps.
I had this problem too and I solved it by reinstalling just .NET Framework 4.
Now it works as before.
Ive searched and searched. I know there are a million threads too.
I had my mango 7720.68 unlocked with chevron before but relocked it because i thought it was causing boot freeze.
Now it won't unlock, i've tried everything.
Cleared developer services in c:/windows/system32/drivers/host
Turn off firewall/anti-virus
Why would it previously work? Now its just
Uh-oh
Sorry im having trouble communicating with your phone
-please make sure its connected using USB
-please start the zune application
Please some feedback!! Thanks
becoz n mando the old chevron willll nt wrk i guss bt chevron opned a fficial site and for unlock costs $9
because MS cant fight anymore against it and decide to make money with it

I had the same problem, but then I used the wp7 update cab sender and dev_unlock.cab which worked

custom ROM is already unlocked (BTTF and HD2O) but people not read instructions... chevron is useless for this ROM's
Alright i've checkron chevrons website and the tokens ($9) aren't for sale right now, but thanks everyone.
how to
since it took some time for me to find out how to side load apps in WP7.5, I'll explain it to other noobs:
You need to install Zune, the .NET 4.0 Framework and Windows Phone SDK 7.1. Then install Phone7Market (you can find it here). It comes with the Phone7Market itself, from which you can download your .xap files and with the Phone7Deployer. Connect your HD2 via Zune, create a desktop shortcut for the Phone7Deployer, get your xap file you want to deploy (i.e. from the Phone7Market) and drag&drop it on your desktop shortcut. It won't harm to check the two boxes (remove drm and the other one). A few seconds later, you should find your app/game on your device.
btw, this is FREE, so you don't need to pay 9 bucks for chevron.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I can't help you with that since I don't have this error. The only two things that come to my mind: You need Windows Vista or 7 for the SDK and you should try a hard reset on your device (backup your data before of course).

Same error here.
So, I am using "[ROM] Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] [7740]" - and am really having fun using WP7. I still miss some features of 6.5, but 7 is cool.
I came across programs with XAP files that I thought would be useful. It seems there are several different types of programs that are used to install these XAP files and I tried installing one and hosed my phone.
No biggie, I started over, but which methods of making my device XAP capable should I use? I mention "Back to the Future" because I also wonder if the XAP file support is ROM dependent.
Sorry, to ask something that I actually know is already in the forum. I see Chevron, and TOM XAP and I guess official Windows development tools. I really just can't seem to discern the difference or (dare I say) best method. Or maybe I just have yet to find something you can point me to that spells it out for noobs like me?
Thanks in advance for any help! Happy New Year!
chevron not needed for HD2 ROM's.... all ROM's is unlocked... only after install, you must do hard reset to avoid bugs with unlock...
BTTF not bad ROM but bad thing is locking SD card....
you can try others ROM's and find which one is best for you....
is the question what the best xap installer for windows

Yes. Thanks, I am content with the BTTF ROM - it is the only one I have tried. What xap installer should I use is the question.
any XAP installer....which you want... no matter which you ROM have you can use any XAP installer
Tom XAP installer is good but cant do Update to already installed XAP
for this XAPDeployX is best...
also you can use Windows Phone Power Tools or Windows Phone Device Manager
Windows Phone SDK 7.1
if you want extra fetures!
Windows Phone Power Tools
I am using Application Deployment it works fine transferred couple xap apps without any errors, i tried other apps but when i lick deploy i get error.
"Error-Installation of application failed. Xap signature is not valid or the WP manifest file is invalid. Re-sign with valid signature and fix the manifest file."
Well anyone got solution cause i really need to install couple apps but it keep giving me this error. My phone is unlocked it was pluged in and zune was running.
I need your help please if possible.
did you try XAPDeployX?
also from where you downloaded this apps? from this forum?
i got it from this forum
i tried the other deployer same error
did you have installed:
.net Framework v4
WP SDK 7.1
if you unlocked phone with Chevron (old free or paid) you can deploy only 10 xap files
my phone is unlocked etc i have everything installed hm
I modified the registry keys so that the phone shows in my computer, so I added some games onto the phone but I cant seem to locate these games in the file explorer on the phone
it did make a difference to "free space" proving that it is on the phone ... I can access it using my pc but not by using my phone
please help I couldn't find help anywhere :crying:
games and apps on WP7 install with XAP files... you cant use games and apps from WM6.5, only games and apps for WP7
you must install WP SDK, .net Framework 4 and Zune on computer
phone must be synced with Zune, turned on and screen unlocked (not in stand by)
with XAPDeployX instal XAP file to phone
