Hi,
i am using windows 8 and i am wondering if i would still need zune for anything or anything on the pc at all?and how do i get mh updates..just over the air?
Updates are over the air. For music and photos you have the windows 8 client which installs automatically or just simply open the device through usb.

Recommendation: goto http://windowsphone.com. All the information you need to become familiar with windowsphone is there, including any sync giles you need to download. After you read and get synced, then come on back and ask your questions.

im wondering if any1 has the cd that came with the t-mobile mda....the cd with the drivers and the activesync...if any1 has it please post it...in iso form...or just all the stuff that is on it...
CDs are generally useless IMO, I would recommend going to the Microsoft website to get the latest version of Activesync and your provider to download any official updates for your device.
Of course you wouldn't be here if you weren't interested in cooked ROMs.
well let me explain my problem...i have windows vista and cant update because it isnt compatible but i got a virtual pc and it sayes that i should use the cd...to get the drivers for the t-mobile mda...cuz i already have the activesync...buti need that installed...

Get ActiveSync direct from Microsoft. It will install the USB drivers needed to sync with all supported PDAs and SmartPhones. You don't need anything else... besides Outlook to sync the contacts, etc.
ok ty ill retry
vista's activesync is build it, dont worry about it, it should just automatically install the nessesary stuff
mda cd tmobile
..i found it....may be a little late...still interested
Not sure if anyone has been looking fot them or if anyone knows, BUT the Hero manual and HTC sync are loaded onto the supplied memory card.
Just connect it to your pc select notifications at the top of your hero then you you should see USB connected. Select it and then select mount. It then sees your Hero as a USB drive. Just drag and drop the files onto your pc`s desktop. Then install HTC sync. It then allows you to sync contacts in outlook etc.
I've got a real problem!
Just got the Hero home, WITHOUT knowing HTC Sync was on the card...
Turned it on... the SD was indicating as broken... "please format"... so I did... no more HTC Sync...
Is there a place I can donwload it from? I tried the HTC Support website... but it can not find the phone on either PC...!
Can anyone Help please?!

dont even bother trying htc sync if youre running win 7 x64, it simply doesnt work... even if you install the vista driver manually from the android sdk, i ended up importing my contacts into my google mail account and syncing over the air, better that way anyway as it is always sync'd live.
It should sync with win 7 64bit if you install the Dream driver

I have the same issue... and even with the Dream Driver installed, it won't sync... I now sync over Gmail as well.... and as a Workaround, this is OK for me.

Thank you!!!!
yah but we want the htc rom update utility ,...how to get that the serial no doesnt match
I've got it working under Windows 7 x64. You just need the Windows Vista x64 drivers and a copy of dpinst.exe and you should be good to go. I can mail you dpinst when I get home if you pm your address.
If there's a need for it, I can create a msi package that will install the drivers automatically (but not until at least the weekend).

Hi,
I updated my Lumia 800 to WP7.8 using Nokia Caresuite. Now I tried to unlock it with the phone registration tool coming with WP8 SDK. I am using Windows 8. The problem is, that the phone cannot be connected. Further in Zune I can't see how much space I'm using on my phone. Is there a new Zune for WP7.8?
Greets
update:
Windows 7 and WP 7.1 SDK worked.

No, just go ahead to control panel and uninstall everything whose manufacturer is Nokia (no need to uninstall ncs, and, of course, don't touch zune), and, of course, reboot. I had the same problem and it helped me and couple of other people.
I had a similar problem on my bro's Win 8 PC (as I am an osx user). We couldn't deploy the xaps so we just uninstalled zune and downloaded it from microsoft's site again and it worked fine after that.
I managed to unlock my phone and deploy the apps through the WP7 SDK. Did it on Windows 7, though. Worked like a charm.

I had the same problems, I had to uninstall the drivers after use of the update software. For some reasons the drivers of the updating software did not seem the same as the Zune standard drivers. *using 64xWindows8
After uninstalling everything, worked fine again

All you need to do is uninstall the WinUSB drivers so the Zune drivers will be used again.
hey guys. i'm here because i too have a lumia 800 wp7.8 and it has been unlocked using the windows phone developer registration app.
the problem is, i can't deploy any application onto my phone. i've tried countless of .xap files to deploy (using Application Deployment) but the status keeps saying:
"XAP file is invalid".
My phone is registered. it connects to the zune software (which i have uninstalled and installed according to the posts above).
I tried it with Tom XAP Installer and it said "Make sure device is unlock" and "make sure it is connected to zune & pc".
I also tried it with MultiXap installer and it said "nullable object must have value".
Please help me!
Is there any way around this? greatly appreciate your help.

What kind of XAP's are you deploying? Pirated apps, your own, or copies from the Marketplace?
Do you have any error codes? Are you using WP7 or WP8 sdk, which OS?

My XAP files are downloaded from the Marketplace. I chose "Download and install manually" and that's how I got them.
No error codes. When I click on "Deploy", the App Deployment program just wrote "Status: XAP file is invalid".
I'm using the WP7.1 SDK with the SDK WP7,8 update.
My laptop is running Windows 7. My phone WP7.8.
Thanks for the quick reply
Hope I provided enough information!

No, you cannot install xaps from marketplace this way, why would you need that? All this apps can be installed via marketplace on the phone. The point of developer unlock is to install homebrew apps and those that cannot be submitted to the marketplace.

How did you unlock your Lumia 800 ? I cant unlock it ...
i dont even know if it is unlocked or nlocked
So first of all I just want to say "it has nothing to do with preview for developers". That's first.
Back then when I was using Lumia black (8), things seem to be fine.
After updating to 8.1 using preview for developers, yeah I live it very much. But I don't know what happened to my device. I was able to sideload stuff like, you know, install paid app for free. But that was for a while. Now I'm not able to do that anymore. Whenever I connect my device to PC, it keeps on showing device decriptor request failed.
DONT SAY "TRY USING DIFFERENT CABLE OR USB SLOT". I did ask those IT guys about it, but they seem stupid (no offend). All they told me was this line I mention in DONT SAY.
I have 5cables in my house, 2laptops and 1desktop, all with Nokia sdk, with total of 15 USB slots. I tried it all and it's not working.
I wish someone in here can help me since google couldn't. Sorry for my English.
to sideload XAP files you need WP SDK 8, developer account (pay $19/year to Microsoft) and dev unlocked phone with WP SDK... work fine on my Lumia 920 with preview for developers...
Didn't I say I was able to do that? Yeah I can. But pc won't recognize my device.

I swear to god, I have windows 8.1 64 bit, all on 2laptop and 1 desktop. All have Nokia Software Update and Nokia care suite thing. Maybe last month, or 20 days, I did side load amazing spider man 2 just fine. But today, it's not reading my phone. Again, I swear, I did not install or uninstall anything on both laptops and desktop. It just suddenly stops working. Or maybe it uninstalled itself from all 2 laptops and 1 desktop?
or maybe is hardware problem with USB connector on phone
Or an issue with the update. I was having all kinds of issues connecting to blue tooth devices after the update. A couple of hard resets and a fresh profile later and most of the kinks are worked out.
If all your computers and cords work, the only thing left is the device. It's either hardware or software, and the easiest thing to test is to put it into recovery mode and see if it detects it / can write to it.
I have the same problem but in a different scenario. I have bought a new Nokia 215. Its user manual says it can connect to a PC as a removable drive when it has a memory card in it. That's one of the reasons why I bought it in the first place.
To my utter disappointment, the same error (device descriptor failed) showed up. I tried to use google but couldn't find any useful solution. Tried other thing, eg changing cable, PC, USB slot etc but nothing worked out.
Then I connected it to a computer with linux and it worked in the first try. The memory card was accessible as a removable drive and I could easily read and write files.
I am amazed how poorly the programmers at Microsoft have been working lately that a phone made by Microsoft can't connect to a PC OS written by Microsoft.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to use Nokia Xpress 1.7.0.1043 browser on an old WP8.1 Lumia but it's not available from the store anymore. I found a direct download link for the store app but it won't sideload because it's no longer supported (why do companies remove apps they don't support rather than just leave them there with a message saying "no longer supported, no more updates"?!)
So, first question, does anyone know how to sideload store apps that are no longer supported? Do I have to interop-unlock the phone or something like that?
Alternatively, if anyone has the unencrypted files in a XAP then please can they share it? I found Opera Mini here on the forums and deployed it successfully.
All help much appreciated.
Cheers
Change rar to xap, copy to phone, click on it.
Disable data restriction, surf on web
Thanks for the file. I did as you suggested, but it wouldn't sideload. I also tried deploying it with the VS2015 WP8.1 SDK app deployment tool but got error 0x810301B. I'm a bit stuck but will try a few other things, any suggestions much appreciated.
Cheers
Dont sideload, y already tell. Copy to phone and click on it. Im mad....
I thought that copying to the phone was sideloading. Anyway, I did that and it tells me that there is a problem with my company app and it can't be installed, same the Opera Mini XAP I got from here did. So I tried to deploy it, which worked for Opera Mini, but didn't work for Nokia Xpress.
Unfortunately the phone froze a short time later, wouldn't recover after soft reset and is now bricked and only shows as QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager. I guess I need to use Thor2 to recover it (since WDRT no longer supports older Lumias!).
How old? My lumia 530 is suported.
Ok, here is the app to sideload from PC. Delete rar extension.

The 530 is supported. I've got a 925 which is unfortunately (and bizarrely) not supported. There's no published list but if you load the tool, say your device cannot be detected then you get the list to select from. It supports the 1520 and later, excluding the 2520 or 525. Basically, the 525, 2520 and anything earlier than the 1520 are NOT supported, which unfortunately includes the 925.
So the app you put up is to copy from the PC to the phone then open with "install local apps" in the store, or to deploy with the SDK application deployment tool?
Thanks.
Deploy .
