I have few applications on my PC for WP7, is there any way to install them into the smartphone... ?
Yes, if you have XAP files, you can deploy them to phone using "Application Deployment" from Windows Phone 7.5 SDK.
But you need to have developer unregistered phone (or Chevron unlocked). No unlock = only Marketplace.
do i void the warranty if i unlock it ? and btw, how do i see if mine is locked or unlocked?

I need guide to set my phone to unlimited number of developer app.
This is my phone's details
Model : HTC 7 Mozart T8698
Software : WP7.5
OS version : 7.10.8107.79
Thanks
Hi,
To increase the max number of app on your phone, your phone needs to be interop unlocked to be able to install a regedit app and to modify one registry key.
But, if your phone is interop unlocked then your max number of app is near from 2 millions so, you don't need to modify the registry key anymore
With your firmware version you won't be able to interop unlocked your phone except if you use a goldcard to either install RSPL/HSPL and install a custom rom or to install a old version of WP7(a nodo version), update to the first version of mango, use the interop unlock app of Heathcliff.
In the two case, you will have to reinstall all of your apps, photo, ect...
Good luck
Hello guys,
I'm new to wp7.. I recently bought a lumia 800 and tried to unlock it by installing the certificate and then running the wp7unlocker on pc (with Zune running in the background).
An error pops up each time stating that i make sure that the phone is connected using usb and the zune software is running. I googled it many times and still haven't found a solution.
I have installed the latest 12070 update via Zune and haven't flashed the phone or done anything else.
Awaiting a prompt reply.
The free Chevron unlock never worked on the Lumia 800. You have either to use the official Chevron method (which is currently not availably) or unlock your phone via AppHub. If you are a Student you could try to get a free dreamspark unlock.

Good day everybody.
I have samsung omnia 7 (downgraded to i8700) and trying to unlock for market apps installation.
I have read this thread about unlocking and it works until execute zune updates.
I successfully install chevron certificate and unlock with chevronwp7.exe.
Then I can use XAPDeployX and install a reg- Editor WP7RootTools 0.7 alpha.xap.
I mean it works everything until perform zune updates.
When I try to deploy some xap file i got this message:
Deployment FAILED with the following ERROR:
Failed to connect to device as it is developer locked. For details on developer unlock, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195284.
I read something about offline updates from this link but I am not sure that this can help me.
Is possible to have unlocked windows phone 7.5 and how. I really cant figure how can I accomplish this.
Please Help !
Thanks...
hey if i developer unlock this via the sdk i have dreamspark will i be able to install custom roms and XAP total noob at WP
No you will only be able to get Developer unlock, this allows you to sideload .xap files to the lumia.
To get full interop unlock you need to have the Qualcomm bootloader

Hello!
I want to flash a custom ROM on my Sony Xperia phone, but the bootloader unlock isn't allowed. I know the solution for it, but since unlocking SIM lock would cost at T-Mobile Hungary 15000 Ft (about 48 €), I thought maybe PC Companion can do it this way, too. (The official Android updates also just 'flow through it' to the phone.) So I've selected Repair sotware in PC Companion. It downloaded some files, the actual software is likely to be here: C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs. Here are (among others) 3 files beginning with 'FILE_', ending with a 9-digit number (they don't heve extensions). I could decrypt them with Flashtool (Tools -> Bundle -> FILESET Decrypt), so they must be the OS insaller files.
Now, my question is: how could I do this reversed? So, if I have a custom ROM, how can I convert it to a 'FILESET'? If this was possible, PC Companion might be able to flash that ROM on the phone. It would be a much easier way.
I hope this is possible - I'd welcome any ideas connected to the problem!
