Microsoft SDK 7.0 developer tool not working - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

I've tried to register (to be able to deploy some apps) my friend's Dell Venue Pro with my computer.
The developer tool (Microsoft SDK 7.0) tells me it's unable to connect to the developer server.
I'm running WIN XP SP3 and I think SDK 7.0 is the newest SDK version you can have with the OS of my computer.
I succeeded to register my Dell Venue Pro and one of my friend's Dell Venue Pro in the beginning of this year and I still have one phone to registered (since the limit is 3 phones).
I haven't altered any of my development settings and when I connect my DVP to the developer tool, it says my phone is already registered.
But I cannot register my friend's phone. So my question is: has Microsoft stopped supporting SDK 7.0? I didn't find any information about it even though I tried to do some google search. So if the support for SDK 7.0 has stopped, how do I register phones (in the future) with my WIN XP SP3 if I cannot install newer version to my computer???
Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance!

Windows CE instalation problems

hello,
I have a hitachi g1000 with windows mobile 2002, i want to rid off from sprint win version with all functions and feature and install a normal winCE.
the problem is, I cant do that, downloaded from micrsoft website trial verision but when run setup.exe it stops and ask tell my windows on PC need some other application and etc and etc. I install one application .NET Framework 2 but still not possible to go on with setup.
I would like to know is it only with me or someone also experince similar problems, please share with me yourexperience if you have installed on your pda win CE and how.
is there any other way to install it on my hitachi, or what I'm doing wrong?
Hello dar22.
It seems you misunderstand the whole Pocket PC OS issue.
You cannot just install Windows CE because it is not a generic operating system like Windows XP.
First, Windows Mobile is a derivative of Windows CE, but it also adds some functions. Even if you could replace your OS pure windows CE cannot run most apps developed for the PPC.
Second, Windows Mobile is custom tailored for every device (so is Win CE) and the result is called ROM image. You can't just install a generic version and then add drivers because they all come together from the manufacturer.
So to conclude this:
Unless the devices OEM provides an upgrade, there is no way to change the OS.
yes I uderstand than the generic WIN CE comes without drivers for a specific PDA, but the whole idea that I don't need that pda's most of it's functions such as camera and phone functions, I need only to have WINCE on it.
Can anybody advice me how to rid off from original Windows Mobile and install instead of that pure win ce version?
I mean what applications should I have on my PC to flash my device with WIN CE?
You still haven't understood me.
When I said 'drivers' I meant such basic things like memory, touch screen, device buttons.
Even those things need specific drivers from the OEM so there is no way to install Win CE on your device, unless:
1) You can dump the original ROM and extract all the drivers.
2) You can get MS Platform Builder (full and legal version), incorporate the drivers and create a special image for your device.
(I think you actually have to be an OEM and have contract with MS for the second part)
I am not sure what you tried to install, but there is no Win CE version you can just flash to any device and it will work.
levenum, thanks for your support, what you think can I install linux instead? I just don't want to have the sprint windows version
Well, you could try looking for linux version, but I am not sure there is one for your device.
You see, for mobile devices it is pretty much the same thing with linux. OEMs do not release even the basic drivers so there are no generic OS for these devices.
There are linux projects for HP iPaqs and also xanadux project (look in the WiKi) for HTC devices, but I don't know of anything for your device.
Perhaps if you specify what exactly bugs you about the OS maybe we can recommend apps and reg tweaks to get around is.

Flashing on a Mac

Hi guys, I've searched already, and found nothing that answers my question, so that's said. Now, my Windows computer (a laptop) was SMASHED by a cousin of mine. That was the computer I used for flashing (everything else, I'm an Apple-lite, so I use my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro) But now I can't flash. Is there any way to do this with Missing Sync? on Mac OS X?
No there isn't. To bad. I use a Mac too (and the Missing Sync). All the rom flashing and stuff happens on a PC.
But...
Since you've got a Mac with an Intel processor, you can use Apple's Bootcamp or some sort of Windows emulation app.
ah!! A fellow Apple-lite. Hmmm... Can't flash... that IS rather depressing...
Flashing on a Mac Solutions
I also am searching for a solution to this problem. I have a Powermac G4 so, alas, I can't do mine through intel via bootcamp. I would have to spend the money and lower myself to Virtual PC. I'd rather put that towards a new Macbook Pro! You can do it through bootcamp. I did it at my Dad's house on his macbook pro while I was visiting.
In my searching I've discovered that you can flash via your sd card, but you need a program to extract the .cab and make a change to the file. They were sugesting cabextract. Problem is, that it's not available in Leopard right now, and I haven't found another solution yet. I'm still searching though. If anyone can give any more light on this or correct me if I'm wrong that would be great. I really want to come up with a solution for us mac guys!

Check out VMWare Fusion which lets you run XP in a window. I use that to flash to my MDA Wizard and it works great. The only thing I haven't been able to do - and it may be resolved now in a later release of Fusion - is upload maps for my iGuidance navigation software. For that I have to use the PC.
Hope that helps.
You can use BootCamp to install & run Windows XP natively on your mac.
One of the problems is that I don't have a copy of Windows XP SP2 or above... I have SP1, but not SP2. And I don't have Vista either.

I don't know how to do it sans Windows. Please let us know if you figure that out.
In other words, I can't use Boot Camp, cos it requires at least XP SP2.
get ur device CID unlocked(CID unlocking requires activeSync)
n then try SD card formatting it doesnt require any computer
After my desktop fried, and i'm always on the go, i purchased a macbook and its my primary computer. I use windows xp running through VMWare's fussion to flash roms, hardspl, cid unlock, tether.. basicly everything for my WM devices. Works perfectly fine for my hermes and kaiser, but wouldn't work on my wizard(that was with parallels) and haven't tried on my magician.
Anyways, i used to use parallels before fusion and it also said it needed an xp sp2 cd, but i went ahead and installed it through the xp sp1 cd and downloaded the sp2 update after xp was installed and everything worked out fine. SO go ahead and give it a try with sp1 and see what happens. Also if you decide on running parallels or fusion, make sure you have enough ram! (i have 2gb ram on my macbook and fusion is set to use 1gb when its running and it runs perfectly!)

Windows 7 USB Driver Issues

Well, I know this is a long shot, but I am hoping that someone has found themselves in the same situation as I did. I am beta testing Windows 7 and when I attempted to connect my HTC Cavalier to my desktop, Windows is unable to locate the appropriate driver for it. I had no issues with my Windows XP and Vista versions. Anyone found a fix for this? I have looked everywhere for the HTC USB driver download, with no luck. Maybe someone can export the driver from their Windows copy?
Any help would be appreciated.
Not the answer I guess you want to see - but I have the cavalier working just fine with Windows 7
Any chance u could send me the driver .INF? I would really appreciate it.
I didn't have to download any specific INF file or drivers - it was supported directly via Windows Update and the WMDC.....check your version of the WMDC - latest build is 6.1.6965

hi i'm syg, i'm a new member.
I'm havin the same issues with my HTC Touch Pro & windows 7.
except now, my usb mouse doesn't work & I'm having issues with my external hard drives. so I'm hoping someone else knows what's going on.
You need to install WMDC 6.1. They have both versions - drvupdate-amd64.exe and drvupdate-x86.exe - for the 32 and 64bit , check Microsoft... (Google 'WMDC 6.1')

Windows Sideshow

When I try to install Windows Sideshow I get the following errors:
1. A problem has occurred with tmarshaller.exe
2. A problem has occurred with shell32.exe
When I click these errors away the installation is finished, but then my device doesn't respond to anything.
After a soft reset I can start Sideshow, but even when the device has a bluetooth connection with my computer it gives the following message:
"Make sure that this device is paired with the PC over Bluetooth and that the PC is turned onn and within range.
If this problem persists, wait a few minutes and try again."
When I remove the application and reinstall it again I get the same problems.
Anyone know what I can do to make it work?
Using Windows Sideshow on Xperia X1
Hi, I can't help with the error codes but I have successfully loaded Windows Sideshow onto my Xperia X1 and can see information from my Desktop PC.
Background info:
PC Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Xperia Operating System: Energy ROM based on WM 6.5.3
The steps I took were to install my USB Bluetooth adapter but install using the Standard Bluetooth stack drivers that are built into Windows 7, create a Pairing between my X1 and PC so i never need to input a code when transferring data.
I then installed the Windowssideshowforwindowsmobile.cab and .NetCF V2.cab to my X1 (Install to Device and not storage card)
then go to control panel on your PC and under Devices you should see your Phone/PDA listed - access the settings option by right clicking and go to the 'Services' tab, select all Bluetooth services by putting a Tick into the box.
I had options for Activsync over bluetooth and windows sideshow.
then on your Phone/PDA start the Sideshow app and select connect.
to add new apps/gadgets to your device go to Control panel/windows sideshow.
Hope this Helps.

[Q] .net framework sideload stopped

Was playing around with the beta 2 mango, when the firmware update for my HD7 was made available. (note after mango upgrade never could sideload apps and windows device manager stopped working but the phone remained unlock). So I downgraded everything: Phone, Zune and the WP7 SDK back to the way I had it before mango. But now I can't sideload a thing, the Chevron tool doesn't even communicate with my phone anymore. I thank it is the version of .net I have installed. The SDK work but the WDM doesn't then when I update the .net so that the WDM can work the SDK stops working. HELP

Might be Zune. Try uninstalling Zune and reinstall.
Ok, thanks for the suggestion
