Harah! Another Solution to the dreaded lock of wp7!

I think I have found another solution. Follow these steps.
1) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 100% BATTERY!!
2) Airplane mode on in wp7.
3) Make sure you have zune installed and have a msn acc signed in before doing step 4
****some people have said that you wouldn't need wp7 sdk tools installed so this is an option you can do IN my case i have the sdk tools installed
4) Disconect all connections on your computer.
***MAKE SURE PORT 443 ISNT BEING USED
*** also in my case i didnt turn off my antivirus (you can if you want to).
5) connect phone to computer and sync it.
6) make sure zune starts up and your phone is showing in zune pc application
7) make sure that your phone isnt locked or the screen isnt off
8) start chevron running with admin priv. *(doesnt have to be in root of c)(i left mine in a folder in desktop)
9) load any app of any choice from other guides
*(i recommend doing the unlock reg hack install FIRST!!! B4 DISCONECTING THE PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER[to keep the phone from relocking its self] and the hd7 reg hack install [if you want to download apps from the market].)

REG hack
AFTER THIS HACK I CAN RESTART MY PHONE AND SYNC WITH ZUNE AND IT WILL NOT RELOCK THE PHONE BEFORE I HAD TO UNLOCK AT ALMOST EVERY RESTART...
YOU CAN MOVE TO FIRST POST IF YOU LIKE
~mOe~

i have done all that.
Phone is unlocked without any problem.
But when i try to deploy a xap file with tom xap installer it says make sure you're phone is unlockend.
Usb cable is connected and zune is running.
All ready did a master reset, turning off wifi and on airplane mode.
Date and time auto is off.
Can any one help me with this?

hate to say it - dont think its as simple as a master reset - think youll need to reformat sd and reflash wp7.
if sd is buggerd, use 'panasonic sd formatter' with 'format size adjustment' on.
then i guess ud need to follow the tried n tested guides on forum to finish off the install

flashed back to 6.5, format the sd.
Then step by step by the book to 7.
Still same error, unlock without a problem but can't deploy a xap to the phone

If your phone is unlocked and you can't deploy with XAP....try Aplication Deployment from Windows Phone Developer Tools (you'll find it in start-all programs-....). XAP gives me errors so I use this tool...and it works like a charm

I also tried that yesterday.. But i think in order for it to work you need to activate the program from Microsoft!

is there a way to work around that?
I read that more people use the MS program to sideload the apps.
Did the sign in?

Problem with 'WP7 Update Cab Sender'

Hi all,
I have a problem with updating my phone via the update cab sender.
My HD2 is on WP7 7392 now, so I need the wp7 update cab sender and the deviceprovicioning cab. Like this, right?:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then if I run the update cab sender.bat as administrator, and choose 'S', I get this error:
And if I don't run it as administrator but as normal, I get this error (and the same when I drag 'deviceprovisioning.cab' in 'WP7 Update Cab Sender'.
(Sorry it's in Dutch)
It's without typing or clicking on something, just opening 'WP7 Update Cab Sender'.
I also reflashed WP7 because I thought that that may help but after reflashing and updating through zune to 7392, I still have the same problems.
So can please someone help me or give me a tip or something. I need the mango update because in the Nehterlands WP7 is only supported since mango, so I can't use the marketplace with NoDo.
Thanks in advance.

i'm also having same problem...
please some one help us to solve this problem.....
and thanks to "jellenl" for creating this thread with details.

I assume you are running windows 7 on your desktop pc. Dont start it as Administrator as it will cause what you allready had. Just extract the tool to your desktop and add the .cab file you want to deploy in the same directory. Make sure you are not extracting the .pks files! They may look like zip files but they are not.

I don't know why the folder "If needed install this tool" is there. Get rid of it.

I to am experiencing a similar problem as listed in my post [Q] Update Error C00D070A There's a communication error with your phone.
I have received the same error on two machines, both W7P SP1 (64bit&32bit), can you tell me what operating systems and their basic configurations were? I can make a third attempt if needed.
Thanks -Airstream

for sending CAB to phone you can also use this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315179

your phone should have the date and time as the computer has.and also,have you installed your x64 or x86 tool?
let us know if it helped at all.
also,screen always on,and zune not working

Thanks for the posts.
@dxdy
How would I use this utility to upload standard cabs (my phone has a standard rom and I have no interest in changing that), do I have to update the cabdata.xml file?
@florin_stann
My date and time is sync'd with the computer, x64 tool is insalled on 64bit machine, x86 tool installed on 32bit machine. Screen is set for 15 minutes and Zune process is terminated.
Thanks -Airstream

Problem Solved!
Taken from my thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22853654#post22853654
After manually backing up my data (there are automated tools you can use) I factory reset my phone and attempted an update to 7740 using the following tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315179 with a custom CabData.xml that I created for my phone (VZW Trophy). I updated my OS (7720) and Languages (English - United States (0409) and Spanish (0C0A), the two languages installed by the default) to 7740 successfully, and then updated OS and Languages to 8107 succesfully. After the update process I reseated my battery and factory reset the phone once again, and as expected the latest OS 7.10.8107.79 (8107) is still present on my phone.
It's important to note that I have a factory ROM and my phone already had it's firmware updated automatically (via Zune) to the levels noted in my original post. I believe the WP7 Update Cab Sender would have worked as well but preferred the slick interface wCabSender provided, thanks guys!
No thanks Verizon and HTC, a BIG Thanks to all at xda-developers!

install .net Framework 4, WP SDK 7.1 and Zune
and use XAPDeployX
P.S.
if you use Windows 8, you need to install
1. Games for Windows Marketplace Client
2. WP SDK 7.1
3. Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 Update

is there WP SDK 7.1 for WINXP?..

yes generally use Windows 7 (on laptop for flashing and other "playing" with phones) and also have Windows 8 Pro on PC computer...

Would like to join this question. Im suing same rom, but 7.8 version (v8.9).
As I don't have Activation Code now (will try tomorrow, maybe Monday) I cannot use Marketplace, but I would like to have Youtube and some other free apps installed.
How can I use Xap Deployer (the one installed on device)? Or maybe not how to use, but how to make it see .xap file?
When I connect it to PC, Zune starts and I don't see if it has a way to copy this files.
When I turn it off and use WP7USBStogrageEnabler I got HTC HD2 Media Device with Storage inside it, but its empty (no folders or files, but it's capacity is the same as Internal Memory I gave my HD2).
I can copy any file, but than cannot find it on device itself. If I connect it again to PC, the file is there, so it exist...

[tutorial] How to install XAP on Windows Phone - Legal Way [ for Dev unlocked ]

Hello ! this tutorial is about " How to install XAP files in your dev-unlocked Device from PC using Application Deployment "
Requirements :
- The Windows Phone SDK ( Download SDK from Here ).
- A dav-unlocked Windows Phone Device ( Here The Steps : Legal Way ).
- And a Windows Phone Dev Center Account ( Dev Center ).
OK! let's start :
1- Get your XAP ready ( Google is your Friend ^^ ).
2- ( i think that the SDK is installed ) so ! search for this application " Application Deployment " ( don't forget to plug your Device with the USB cable ).
3- in the Target ComboBox choose " Device ".

6- Enjoy your App !
------------------------------------------------------------
*Remember : this is a legal way to deploy your XAP files , and this work only for Windows phone App developers
------------------------------------------------------------

Windows Phone Power Tools is an even better tool to install XAPS. You get the integrated Iso store explorer and you can update a xap without having to reinstall it.

Also, this really probably belongs in general. It's not a hack (just basically re-stating instructions from the Microsoft tools) and while it's relevant to development, that's true only in a very vague sense. It's nothing new, or anything that most devs wouldn't already know...
Not saying it's a bad tutorial at all, just that I don't understand why you posted it here.

The Windows Phone Power Tools is only for WP8 isn't it?

WPPT was originally developed for WP7, I believe. I don't know if there's a version that can do both, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I think who knows how to developer unlock his/her phone of course can Install apps!
It's not a really strange thing for developers .
as @snickler mentioned using WP Power Tool is so much better because of visual Iso Storage browser and ability to update apps (that it's only possible using Command Prompt in original SDK Deployer)

I feel like this isn't the first guide on how to deploy XAPs. There is another one somewhere.

Well, for a start, you could try searching before posting (you know, number one rule of the XDA-devs forum?) and reading up on that very well-known error code.
Additionally, you could try installing your store apps from the store, instead of trying to sideload them for some reason. (Yes, I know what reason. Go on, say it. The mods actually enforce *that* rule.)

I think his point was that the answer to your question can be found by googling it or using xda search. Also, he is right about the Mods not liking warez, discussions of warez, and we even don't like asking for help getting warez apps to work.

Whoa... I was about to say that I don't actually have a clue what "The End of the central map can not be find" means, but putting that exact phrase into Bing, without even correcting the grammar or anything, led to a discussion which clearly indicates it's either a corrupt archive (.XAPs are just ZIP archives, except for the DRM-encrypted ones), a multi-part archive (this should not be the case for a .XAP), or it's not actually an archive at all.
Search! The knowledge is out there (and it's faster to find it that way than by posting anyhow).

Lumia 950 Image Cloning or APP Extractor

Hi guys.
Does anyone know a way to copy an app from one Lumia 950 to another one without going from the store?
Or alternatively anyone knows how to clone an entire Lumia 950 phone to another while keeping the same APP?
I'll explain my issue...
My primary Lumia 950 has fallen into the water and now it has some function problem.
I had to buy another one.
Into my primary Lumia, I've installed an app called FACETUNE (I bought that) but this app is no longer avaible on the store
My primary Lumia 950 is interop-unlocked and i've installed "App Data Manager Tool" but this app create only a backup settings of the app not the entire App....
I searched online but did not find a .XAP archive of the latest version of FaceTune for Windows phone (v 0.7.2) to install it with the deploy manager...
Now i've a brand new Lumia 950 without my FACETUNE App...
Anyone can help me?
Thank you very much, Max

I've enabled advanced options and i've created a entire backup (.ZIP) of FACETUNE APP.
I've copied this backup into new phone but it's impossible to install it because App Data Manage Tool doesn't have any restore option for entire Backup.
This is the problem....

You must extract only Install folder from this archive and pack it as xap files and deploy xap file via computer to phone. Look my signature, i make some xap files already, if you dont know, send me backup and i make you xap file.

I've extracted Install folder and repack with ZIP (renamed .XAP at the end).

Thanks very much.
