[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ikovac:
The strange thing is that I managed to install a couple of XAPs getting the same error message! I cannot tell you how - I was just clicking Install all the time and closing Zune and starting it again and somehow I managed to install like 3-4 XAPs. I even unpluged USB a couple of times. Suddenly it installed one XAP and then it started showing errors again. So it works but I don't know what to do in order to install a XAP from a first attempt.

I am running HD2O WP7 v1.22 on HD2.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Sierra76:
Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong? I just got ChevronWP7 unlocked Mango phone, running Zune and have Tom Xap installer v1.2 and it keeps telling me that there are communication problems with my phone.

I had zero problems using v1.1 on NoDo, what went wrong?

Basicaly the same error message like the guys from previous page.

Edit: I think we need to Interop-unlock the device too.

Edit2: I managed to install some applications too, but dont ask me how, its more or less like @ikovac did. I repeated it, unplugged, closed Zune, opened Zune, and bam! I see 2 new aps, but ..... cmon, wtf? :)

Whart is "Windows Phone 7 SDK"? Where I can get it?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ttblondey:
you can google it and type windows sdk7.1
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] l3v5y:
It's Microsofts development tools for WP7 apps, and can be found here
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Mihkel.ee:
it would be really awesome if the first post in this thread would state that one needs:

1 .NET 4.0 Framework

2 Windows Phone 7 SDK"

And it basically also means you should use Windows 7

I'm running xp and got errors, it took some hours before I realized I should use W7 + SDK + .NET4
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jumpistef:
same error message :

-Please make sure your phone was unlocked

-Please make sure you connected device to PC and Zune lauched

Try again?

and also, when I launch tomxapinstaller, I have another error message regarding the access to registry
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Mihkel.ee:
I have a HD2 with Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] [7740]

Do I still need to unlock this with ChevronWP7 in order for

Tom XAP

to work?

Because I get errors and am not able to install anything, although I think I have done everything right, except unlock with ChevronWP7:cool:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ambious:
Is there currently no way to sideload without installing the SDK? It's bloated like hell and I hate it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lucid:
Well.. I just installed the PDAimatejam ROM, so I guess it should be unlocked,

also have WP7 support tools installed, zune connected but same as above, no XAP can be installed.

I'd really like some help as I cant install nokia drive now :)

OK< it was that easy.... RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] EgoMaximus:
Is there any way just to increase the download limit via network? I'd rather just get all from marketplace but don't want to hook it up to pc to download.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] itsraining2008:
After installed WP SDK 7.1, anyone got problem with multixap installer? When i try sideload app from multixap installer, I got some error and the XAP file is disappear.

When I try double click on XAP file and install with tom XAP installer 1.2 is work fine.

May be problem occur when try to signing.

installing on emulator

Hi,

I'm trying to run the emulator without visual studio.

http://forums.silverlight.net/t/173359.aspx/1

It works great. But, now I want to deploy my app to this emulator.

When I choose to deploy to the emulator a new instance of the emulator opens, and a complete OS reboot is preformd.

Is there some way to choose to which emulator instance to deploy to?

cant install more than 3 apps

Hye guys , i have developer unlocked device thats nokia lumia 800 !

but dere is a limit of 3 apps deployment , not more than that ! if the limit reaches , i had to remove the previous one !

its really irrritating ..any way can i get UNLIMITED xap file deployment on ma phone ! please help ! :(:(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ttblondey:
You need to unlock your device and install custom rom.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Well, a paid AppHub account would get you a 10-app limit. Only the student account is limited to 3.

To get "unlimited" sideloading, you need to be able to edit the registry on the phone. This is also referred to as "interop-unlock" and will allow running higher-privilege apps too. Some Lumia 800 phones have a USB Mass Storage mode in their bootloaders that allows you to replace the registry files while the OS isn't running. Go read the Lumia 800 section of the XDA-Devs forum to find out more.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] BigJeff:
Will this allow me to install XAP's to my phone on an old laptop that doesn't meet the ZUNE system requirements? Like can this deploy with the SDK but no zune software? Thank! P.S. it's running XP not 7
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ch3mn3y:
How it works? I got some homebrew apps (no activation code = no marketplace for now) and it seems that this application install xaps but just temporary? As I left the app and there was not icon for it.

I didn't use Chevron, 'coz I think my soft (pdaimatejam Rom for HD2) is enough "unlocked".
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] athompson:
For the fun of it. They already paid $99 for developer unlock, so they have no need for it for themselves. Plus they got a trip to Redmond to talk to the Big Bosses. Now they are fairly famous, they have a reputation for being good at what they do (try putting 'first to unlock WP7' on your resume, it'll be good), and don't REALLY need to do anything else.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] megagprime:
keep the chevrons coming!

I agree with half that statement. They seem to be the best at what they do, that's for sure. .. But I don't think they're goin anywhere, there'a cookin up something =)

I think they'll be the TeamXecuter of Xbox for WP7

bringing us all the goodies we can handle

(I hope so!)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] omegapointsingularity:
This means only can use XAP install method 10 times --- THEN WHAT ? Can uninstall and swap around??? Any way to get around this ??? How can I also get full file system, registry, etc access ? Want to install regedit, taskmgr, and explorer to MOZART... And how to get into BOOTLOADER ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TheShowStopper:
Hi Tom!!! I have 2 questions if i may.

1. The device MUST be unlocked with Chevron before i can use your program to add XAP files for ringtones... is that correct or incorrect?

2. When using Microsoft Expression Encoder 4, it saves your encoded file as the same name if you do one tone at a time... is it right or wrong to manually rename each individual file to say... ABC.Ringtones.xap, XYZ.Ringtones.xap, 123.Ringtones.xap etc etc?

Many thanks in advance if you can answer this for me and keep up the great work!

Oh... almost forgot... does your program work on XP SP3??? :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pbelcl:
DO i need to install any developer enviroment like visual studio ore something?

i ask because when starting XAP Installer then i see the windows where i can select to install to device or emulator and then i get an erroro message like you see in attachement
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thesecondsfade:
This XAP installer makes it so easy to install XAP's. Great job with this!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sIiiS:
I have this problem too, installed .NetFramework4.0 and SDK but still have this error when I want install .xap
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pbelcl:
Thanks for this, so i am not allone at all ;-)

Maybe somebody can give us a hint to look for?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] AzmanIshak:
Still cannot install TOM XAP Installer

Phew... at least we've got the same issue. still wondering why it cannot install on Windows 7 64bit Pro. got so many problem. All required thing like .NET 4.0 already install.

Weird!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TheShowStopper:
Seasons Greetings one and all!

Right, my findings and results... I officially quit! Been trying to get this XAP working for the past 7 hours (as i have with Chevron)... what a way to spend Christmas Day :( Got no joy whatsoever so until someone has 5 mins to reply and help the clueless (me for one!) then i'm ignoring the whole idea cus this seems to be a bit messy if you're not sure which direction to go in.

All this hassle just to change to a ringtone seems a blummin farce in my eyes. Anyone else thinking it's a bit of a trawl just for the sake of this? Micro-toss really made hard work of a light job on this one eh :( Pretty unimpressive.

Anyway, off for a mince pie or 3 so hopefully someone can pitch in after they've downed all of their beer! lol

Cheers and have a good one folks! :D

run it in admin, your getting that exeption cause it cant write or load blocked files, but i still cant get the officiol program to run in admin, cause i cant find it
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] l3v5y:
It seems like you're missing Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity, which is a part of the WP7 Developer Tools download. Try installing this, and then trying TomXapInstaller.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bigfoune:
thnks l3v5y

hi

i wanted to know that how can i install an app for emulator without having ZUNE?

tanx
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TheShowStopper:
without??? dunno if you can but i'm sure someone will tell me i'm wrong if that's the case! :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] l3v5y:
With the Windows Phone developer tools, you can deploy to emulator without Zune. You need the XAP though.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] l3v5y:
There's one in this post.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] athompson:
Do you have the source code?

------------------------------------------

Edit: I built one of these for the command line using the same library. If anyone wants the source code, PM me.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] richard_uy:
thank you for sharing...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Mr.zeus:
so what's this?

http://0o2.815.82.img98.com/out.php/i571879_Untitled.png

all xap apps show this eror
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Frasch:
Can you install this on the HD7 phones unlocked with the t-mobile code?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] martani:
Can you share the source code please?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] l3v5y:
Toms XAP installer only deploys to WP7 Devices, rather than the emulator I think.

It only searches for "Windows Phone 7 Device" rather than "Windows Phone 7 Emulator" for deployment targets.

Use the Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools to deploy to Emulators.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] l3v5y:
I doubt Tom will post source code (that's not his style) though looking at it in Redgate .Net Reflector helps (it's copied and pasted from the WP7 Developer Tools, with a few modifications to skip checking for Emulator images, and adding file associations).

I'll post some code for my version of this when I'm on my desktop.

Bear in mind though, there's a function for application installation in the Device classes, which doesn't help at all with file deployment if that's what you want to achieve, and the file manipulation functions of the Device class give Access Denied.

Tom XAP

I am trying to add ringtones

zune is open - connecting with phone

phone is unlocked ChevronWP7

what is wrong
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TheShowStopper:
Well clearly, by looking at that image, your phone is not locked or it wouldn't give that message. Suggest you try unlock process again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bobo80:
Great application thank you.

I have one baby question having released its windows phone and having installed this soft where they can find games on marketplace to install them on our phone ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TheShowStopper:
maybe a google for 'free WP7 apps' or something along those lines might be in order mate? ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bobo80:
Thank you I come to try and I confess that I find nothing unfortunately :S

I am French and I search therefore applications of type " detector of radar " or as games " need for speed ".

Thank you still for this good work :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Yakkaimono:
I take it that you're looking for xap files of these applications?

You won't find xap for paid apps like need for speed anywhere at the moment and definitely not on this forum since piracy isn't allowed here. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bobo80:
OK thank you for this precision ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thesecondsfade:
However, THIS PROGRAM downloads free marketplace apps and removes DRM, making them capable of being deployed using Tom's XAP Installer.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] doublecheese:
Hi Guys

I keep getting this error !!!!

What should I do ?

The Chevron worked fine and I managed to run it but this wont work !!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] l3v5y:
Try running Tom XAP Installer as administrator, or turning of UAC.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] francequentin:
What do you mean by " turning of UAC" :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lucasryan:
same problem with me, im getting same error and have used the chevron alot but cant get the tom installer to work.... if i have the unlocker and it works, is the same tools thats required for it required for the tom xap installer? or is there some other things that need to be installed?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] doublecheese:
I think he meant TURNING OFF , but what is UAC ?

I have to make a search....
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kirimaru89:
UAC = User Account Control?

I think it's very familiar :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lucasryan:
i turned off the uac and i still dnt get the icon on the xap files nor am i able to click on them to install. Not getting the error mess anymore when i start the installer, so what would be the next step to try? Is there any other programs that need to be installed besides sdk tools? thats the way i always deploy the xap file.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lucasryan:
Nmd i got it now
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] l3v5y:
For all those having trouble with sideloading, have you tried using the official tools to do so? They are part of the WP7 Developer Toolkit, that you should have anyway, and they're a lot better put together and tested.

If those don't work, there's a bigger issue with the way you've got everything set up.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] l3v5y:
Did you uninstall (or even install in the first place) Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone?

What's missing is Microsoft.SmartDevices.Connectivity, that's included with the WP7 Developer Toolkit, in theory, you should have had it for Chevron to work, but did you uninstall anything?

Can you also check if the official deployer tool works correctly?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] doublecheese:
1) Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone? I don`t know what this is ?

2) Chevron works fine right now .... I did not uninstall anything as far as I can remember ...... Do you mean uninstall from PC or WP7 ?

3) WP7 developer kit , should I download this or what ? Where to download it

I have been a HTC owner since 2006 , but this year for the first time I quit Wm6.5 and moved to Android and WP7 at the same time.

I bought both the HTC Desire HD and the HTC HD 7

I am almost learning Android but I am very new to WP7 still, so please help me with this and traet me as a beginner.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] l3v5y:
Have a look at this thread I've just created, it should lead you through the process slightly more clearly, and has links to the software you need on your desktop.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] doublecheese:
Now , got it , thanks

it`s a 433MB file and its being downloaded.

The problem here as far as I see:

I have the same problem with Android and WP7 , WM 6.x was easy

But these are completely new platforms to me and I can not follow the XDA 24/7 as I have to work and spend time with my family and daughter .

So when writing a HOW TO DO TUTORIALS , the persons who write it should think of their readers as they have just started WP7 or Android just a few hours ago with ZERO knowledge.

For example in WP7 they say that just install TOUCHXPLORER , yes OK I should install it but how to install it ? What software are required to make the installation.

It`s the same story for the Android , I was trying to root my DHD , but the persons who right the Tutorial think of every one of us as advanced users and they skip some of the steps thinking that everybody should know this.

But the truth is , these are new platforms and everyday there are new comers with Zero Knowlwdge.

I think the main idea should be when writing HOW TO DO GUIDES or TUTORIALS , they should think that everybody is a beginner and do not miss any steps in the process .
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] l3v5y:
I think there's an assumed knowledge in the people that develop the tools (I've certainly made assumptions with the tools I've released) that just isn't useful for new users, but the people that release the tools are generally those that enjoy hacking bits of phones, rather than writing about how to do things. The assumptions may or may not be correct, but this is XDA-Developers rather than anything else.

If there's anything you think would be useful in my post, let me know and I'll add it in (I'm not a new user, so I can't see which bits aren't obvious and which bits are).

I think there's something to be said for having a release thread for tools, and a "how to" thread as separate entities, though whether anyone else shares that belief I don't know.

This is now entirely off topic, so I'll stop, drop me a PM if you want (or there's always the off topic forum.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chillta:
Hello,

my Trophy was officially developer unlocked, but as i got the student developer account, i only got 3 developer apps deployable. so i unregistered the phone and used the unlimited chevron version. handy unlocks perfectly, but everytime i try to deploy a xap through tom or the official application deployment tool, the handy is relocked.

i assume zune has something to do with it?

any thoughts on that?

Edit: I just tried to deploy throu tom, using the WPConnect.exe as described in the other tutorial around. So i dodged zune. Handy was locked again. Then i played around a little bit, it seems every time the handy establishes a connection to the pc, it locks. Must be because it was a developer handy? Factory Reset?

EDIT2: The Factory Reset did the thing. Seems the Phone had remaning flags or something.
