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?

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

I hade the same problem and i've just reinstalled zune
it worked
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.

I have used this method couple of times and I confirm it working on XP except you can not run emulator, that is not required in our case either I guess.
The problem is that I still could not unlock WP7. It stucks at Chevron unlocker stage. The same problem has been reported by almost all users here. I haven't witnessed anyone unlocking WP7 through WIndows XP machine.

I finally got it to install on XP!
Here's what I did,
Download the .iso file (it's at the bottom of the page) :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=04704acf-a63a-4f97-952c-8b51b34b00ce
After, make a new folder on your desktop and extract the ".iso" file into the folder.
Next, I grabbed the ".zip" file from here, : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9618980&postcount=81
Take the baseline.dat from the .zip file and replace it in the one with the extracted .iso files. Then just run setup.exe from the file. It should work! But make sure you have about 3 gb free from your hard drive. And emulator doesn't work, but I'm sure its fine if your not a developer.
Remember to hit the thanks button if it worked for you!

And with the same result too. Chevron opens but gives error.
i couldnt get chevron to work either on xp. i finally broke down and reloaded my vista and got it working. took me over two days to install vista and all the updates and service packs. i got an old slow computer.
How can install on Window7?
Excusme for my bad english
does the chevron executable even work on XP ?
u wouldnt want to use the SDK on XP if chevron doesnt
Soo?? Somebody got it working or what?

SDK is useful in a sense that it atleast makes Chevron open on a XP machine. Without SDK, you can not even open Chevron.
But once you click unlock in Chevron, it always gives you error whatever you do.
I personally had to install WIndows 7 Ultimate on my laptop and then the whole process was like of 20 minutes hardly. No problems faced. The tutorials posted are fantastic and makes your life easy.
Exploring unlocked and activated WP7 on HD2
So we have to purchase Windows 7 and delete everything?
I do not have money to do this...I hope the devs find a way.
I LOVE windows phone even in the sad state mine is in. I have a Zune HD, and I haven't used it since WP7 came onto my HD2...If I could access the marketplace, I'd love it...guess I'll have to download it (windows 7) tonight...
i had the chevron unlocker working with XP SP3. I'll try it again in a bit to verify it again. will let you all know.
I checked and double checked. My phone was already unlocked, so i performed a Re-lock.
Ofcourse, I couldn't get it unlocked again under XP. Having probs now as well with Win7. Scratching my head now. lol

Emulator will never work on XP nor its required for you as you are willing to deploy things on actual device i.e. your HD2. In short, forget emulator.
For DotNet 4 issue, try installing it seperately.
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I am reading this right, having the SDK installed on XP is beneficial regardless if Chevron works or not. This is how I see the events playing out:
Use a Wiindows 7 Machine to do the unlocking process with Chevron
Use the XP machine to do the side-loading of applications.
Once the Chevron process is complete, there should be no need for a Windows 7 based machine, as the app loading will work fine from XP.
Am I correct with how I laid that out? I ask because my main workstation is an XP machine. I have 2 Windows 7 machines (my HTPC and my laptop are both Win7); the HTPC is buried under/behind the TV and does not have easily accessible USB ports, and the laptop has a small (17") screen and I can barely see what I am doing on it, which makes it a non-feasible option.
Now, if I were to use the laptop for a few minutes to do the unlocking with Chevron, I should (in theory) be able to perform all of the other options on my XP machine...I hop I am correct with that assumption, as it will be the best way for me to go about it.

You are absolutely right. This is what I was doing before I moved back to NAND Android.

Try installing it again, just copy the link from that window to your browser and install it, it should resolve your issue.
I had the same problem.
Don't use the given link. Instead search for the program on the Microsoft site and install it.
Do you have a x64 or x32 system?

If you look closely its asking you to install different versions each time. SO run the instakker and it will ask you to download something else, do it and repeat the install process and it will ask to install something again. Just keep doing this till it has everything installed that it needs. It is a silly install process but does work.

you don't need to uninstall all the stuff.
the most important thing is to deactivate the UAC (user account control).
and then install vc++ 2005 sp1 --> vc++ 2010 sp1.
I had the same problem.
What worked for me is i extracted the .msi with 7-zip. Go in the extracted folder and there will be a file called 'vcredist_x86_2010.exe', run that and it will install the visual c++ its whining about
thx for youre help but i finally managed to install NCS.
first i was tryieng to install the latest version of Nokia_Care_Suite_5.0_2012.12.5.3 and with this version I couldn`t get past the vcredist_x86_2005_sp1 screen but then i downloaded this version Nokia_Care_Suite_5.0_2012.5.5.5 and it work and works great. I don`t now why I cant install the latest version...thx for all youre replies

Similar rubbish here, kept asking for 2005 + 2010 when I ran the installer from Firefox downloads window, running it straight from Explorer downloads folder solved the issue.
thats just a crap same here windows explorer worked for the first time.
I'm having the same issue. Any time I try to install any of the VC++ it tells me I have a newer version already installed, but the Nokia suite is still asking me for it.

I've been unable to install the ADB drivers for the Nook Tablet on Windows 8. I get as far as browsing to the folder which contains the inf file after clicking on Have Disk... and I get a message saying Windows could not find driver software for your device. I've tried on two different computers.
Has anyone had any luck installing the ADB drivers for the NT? I'm running Windows 8 RTM.
question: why would you have windows 8...
whatever
If I am correct I heard you need to disable drivers signature checking by Windows (google it, shouldn't be hard) and then it works like 7.

Because many people are allowed to have it for beta testing as well as corporate enterprise testing. It isn't pirated if that is the reason for the why followed by the whatever.
my bad homie, wasn't accusing you of nothing
but my reply did it work?
(Shrug) I didn't post with the problem I was just addressing what seemed like a possible disgust emotion brewing for having pirated software. Just wanted to set the record straight for those not in the know about Win 8's release status.
I have a Lumia 710, did downgrade to Dload (asks to format drive when plugged into computer in OSBL mode), installed latest Rainbowmod, sim-unlocked, etc.. In the end however, I decided to stick with the stock 7.5 rom since it seems to be faster, so I downloaded the rom via Navifirm+, and installed it using Downloader.
Now, things are fine, except Zune is having problems connecting with the phone. It recognizes the phone, can do sync and file transfers and such, but it can't read the storage properly.
Total storage and Available storage both show 0M.
Due to this, the App Deployment tool from Microsoft does not work, because it cannot connect to the phone (It worked before the issue came up). Windows mobile center also can't connect to the phone, etc.
What is the cause to this and is there a fix?
I've recall reading somewhere about Rom/Baseband mismatch and such..
Sorry if this issue was brought up already by others, but doing forum searches didn't give back much.
Edit:
Problem fixed.
Went through the support pages on the Microsoft site, ended up downloading a program called Microsoft Fixit (MicrosoftFixit50577.msi), which basically just deletes Zune for you, then opens a webpage with the download link for Zune. Not so much of a "fix" I'd say. Anyways, it's Zune 4.8, and the package is 170mb, which is actually different compared to the one found on the XBox section, http://www.xbox.com/en-CA/Live/Partners/Zune. This one is only around 100mb in size.
However, I didn't want to download the 170mb package due to slow internet, so I just ran the old 100mb Zune package, installed it, plugged in the phone, and noticed that drivers were installed.
Everything perfect now. I guess it's still the drivers that are messed up.
I'm pretty sure I've tried re-installing Zune before and not fixing the problem. Maybe the Fixit program is a cleaner uninstall which gets rid of the drivers as well.
Note: The Fixit program complained under Windows 8 about unsupported platform, and does not do it's job. Booted up Windows 7 (dual boot is the way to go..), and it works fine.
Note2: Running the program in compatibility mode under Windows 8, the programs works OK.
Edit 2:
On my Windows8, I deleted the driver called "Nokia Phone USB" (I think), and Zune detects the storage properly now.
I had this issue.
I just went into HELP in zune software(upper right corner next to Sign In etc..)
From there i just looked for : "Computer doesn’t recognize your device on the Zune Software" - it's the 8th thing from top to bottom.
from there I just followed their steps and if that wouldn't resolve my problem,i would just hit the NO button,and they would tell you something else to try.I ended up downloading a software from them,that finally resolved my problem.
Best of luck !
If you have trouble into following that I've just said,just PM me.
You need to uninstall the drivers that came with navifirm. They prevent zune from properly interacting with your phone.

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 .
