Register Windows Phone 7 as developer phone - windows-phone-7

I am running win 8.1 x64 and have followed this guide because I tried to resolve this message:
I have found this kb article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2468307
I have also closed zune, deleted the certificates and restarted zune. which did not help
and also tried to add a copy of the certificate to the trusted ones, as listed in the kb article.
I am becoming desperate. The ipoverusbsvc is running fine. I did register a windows phone 8 device and have this error also at an other windows phone 7. So it is just my pc and windows phone 7 devices. Have tried an htc trophy and lumia 800 the lumia 920 (wp8) works fine.
The lumia 800 has an active sim in it. the trophy does not (I think) Is it required to have zune logged in (live id)?
edit I have read somewhere that you do not need to launch zune! When I navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\WPConnect\x64
and run WpConnect.exe it gives this message:
Failed to connect to the device. Ensure that the device is completely booted and
is connected to the PC. (0x80070103)
But the phone is booted, swiped away the lockscreen... When I run phonereg.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\Phone Registration it tells me to verify that ipoverusbsrv should be up and running, which is up and running.
I also added zune to the firewall exceptions and followed these steps on the device: http://forums.wpcentral.com/developers-corner/211829-visual-studio-stopped-connecting-wp7.html
edit 2 I tried to install win 7 in a virtual pc to test if it works on that os. But I got a message that the wp sdk 8 cannot be installed on win7. it was packaged with the visual studio 2012 express for windows phone...

The device that wanted to be registered as a developer device should be logged in with a Microsoft Live account. If you can download any application from marketplace this means that phone is logged in.
Could you try again registering your device with another usb port or another micro usb cable?

The answer was to run Windows 7 in a virtual machine with Zune. It does not work on Windows 8.1 with Zune. You cannot register a Windows Phone 7 with windows 8.1

When I run phonereg.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows Phone**v8.0**\Tools\Phone Registration
Your problem is "v8.0". I tried on a Windows 8 (not 8.1) machine running this file -
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\Phone Registration\PhoneReg.exe
and it worked like a charm. Note the "v7.1" in the path.
I tried to install win 7 in a virtual pc to test if it works on that
os. But I got a message that the wp sdk 8 cannot be installed on win7
Correct, but irrelevant. If you want to register a WP7 phone you need to use the WP7.1 SDK

Might be a bit late, but perhaps others try to register their phone in the last minute just like me:
Windows 8.1 Pro Update (= latest version as of today)
Control Panel → Program and Features → Turn Windows features on or off → .NET Framework 3.5
Zune 4.8
Windows Phone SDK 8.0
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\Phone Registration
I registered one phone with SIM inserted, one without.
I registered one phone with Windows Live ID, one without.
I registered one phone as Zune sync guest, one as full partner.
I registered one phone with Windows Phone 7.5, one with 7.8.
Windows Phone SDK 8.1 did not work for me.
Windows Phone SDK 7.1 did not work for me, even not in Windows 7 Ultimate (not required because the Windows Phone SDK 8.0 comes with SDK 7.1 actually).My Microsoft Account has two-step verification enabled.Now, these phones are listed in my Windows Phone Dev Center.

Windows 8.1 dont have hyper-v - cant use Windows Phone Emulator

Lately i wanted to get into Windows Phone 8 development and i installed Visual Studio 2013 + Windows Phone SDK 8 + Visual Studio 2013 Latest update.
My system parameters are:
- 8gb ram
- Windows 8.1 64bit system
- Intel i5
The moment i try to run a Windows Phone project a dialog appears and it says:
Title - " Cant start the windows phone emulator"
Subtitle - "The Windows Phone Emulator requires Hyper-V.Your PC is missing the following pre-requisites required to run Hyper-V:
-Windows 8 Professional(64 bit)"
After i saw that i checked for how to upgrade Normal Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Professional.
With no luck i tried to find out more about to install Hyper-V with the BIOS configuration with no luck as well.
Usually i develop on Android with Eclipse(with the Emulator) so i can't understand the reason why a emulator of Windows Phone can't run on my system.
P.S
I dont have Hyper-V feature in the Windows Feature list to Turn off/on
Thanks heads up for each answer! :)
The error is saying you need Windows 8.1 x64 Pro or Enterprise to be able to install Hyper-V. You can still develop phone apps in the edition of Windows 8.1 you have but you must debug on on a windows phone the emulator will not be available
System Control -> Programms and Functions -> "Activate or deactivate Windows Features" (in the left bar)
(freely translated from my german win8.1)
There you can activate Hyper-V if it is inside your Windows-version. Then try to restart VS2013 and start the emulator. I had to "deactivate" my Hyper-V and activate it again for some reason. Then it worked.
Good Luck! :)
The Windows Phone 8 emulator is a special Hyper-V image. It cannot run on other virtualization technology.
Without the emulator, the alternative option would be to use an actual device.
you can use a virtual machine to deploy windows phone 8 OS. Your System processor does not support hyper-v so, you can install win phone 8 on a virtual machine. you would found this link helpful.. check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WANk_XaovqM
Step which i followed; ( I already have windows 8.1 64-bit machine )
Enabled 'Virtualization / Hardware assisted virtualization' in bios. [ https://www.google.co.in/search?q=enable+virtualization+in+bios&oq=enable+virtual&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5117j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 ].
Hyper-V option came in 'windows features' after I did this step.
Later, I Became a member of Hyper-V admin group.

Hyper-v in windows 8.1 single language

How enable Hype-v in windows 8.1 single language for emulator windows phone app ( in Windows Phone "Sdk" 8.0)
hyper v is not available in windows 8.1 single language need to upgrade to windows 8.1 pro or use oracle vm
If you are developing Windows Phone app then surely you need Hyper-V to deploy the app over the Win Phone 8 image. But in case you are having Win 8.1 SL, you would be actually in trouble. The alternative is any other virtual tool. Here I suggest Oracle VirtualBox. After installing virtual box you have to create a machine with an OS image. For windows phone 8 or any other version goto "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Emulation\Images". You can also go to v8.1. What I mean to say is to locate the directory for Flash.vhd. Copy the whole directory("\Images") to some other location. Start your VM and create a new machine with OS Windows 8 or 8.1 (depending upon the image version). In the next screen allocate RAM >= 1 GB. Then finally locate the Windows Phone image (Flash.vhd) after clicking "Use an existing virtual hard drive file". Click "Create" and all done!!
Another way of doing this without having any Virtual Machine is by Microsoft XDE. For this you have to start the CMD with admin rights and change the directory (CD) to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.0
(Remember the last directory into this path could be 8.1 as well). Then run the following command
XDE.exe -vhd “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Emulation\Images\Flash.vhd”
Now I would suggest one more thing. Before doing all this first check where is all the stuff installed in your PC. And sorry, I have not taken care of so much formatting of this post. Enjoy :)

The Windows Phone Emulator wasn't able to set some properties on the virtual machine

I've installed Windows phone 8 SDK successfully and I have run the applications successfully on the emulators. Everything was fine.
Now I have updated my Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 for Windows Phone Version 2 to Version 4.
And I have downloaded and installed the Windows Phone SDK 8.0 Update 3 Emulators. Now I run the application in Emulator WVGA 512MB and the application running successfully.
Now when I try to run the application in Emulator Update 3 1080P, then I am getting the below error.
Please help me how to solve the above issue.
Thanks
WP 8 Emulator works on a virtual machine, so you should check virtual machine settings on Hyper-V. It seems that Emulator needs more memory and your computer has not enough.

How to deploy Windows Phone 7 app, to Windows Phone 8 phone?

The title pretty much sums it up. I've written a Windows Phone 7 application and now I want to deploy it to a Windows Phone 8 device (HTC Windows Phone 8X). I have registered and unlocked this phone for development.
When I plug in the phone via USB and I want to deploy to it using Visual Studio 2010 it keeps on stating that a deployment error occurred as Zune wasn't started up. Windows Phone 8 phones now don't use zune though.
How can I get around this so that I can deploy the WP7 app to the phone?
You can't deploy to a Windows Phone 8 device without the Windows Phone 8 SDK, which requires Visual Studio 2012, which also requires Windows 8. So without upgrading, you can't do it.
Hard to believe, but it's really possible.
I deployed WP7.1 application to the Windows Phone 8 device (HTC 8X) from Windows7 x64 machine:
Install WindowsPhone8SDK (solved on stackoverflow here, detailed instruction here, don't forget to aggree with numerous error and warnings)
Register and unlock your device by PhoneReg.exe tool ("...\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\Phone Registration\PhoneReg.exe")
Build your app in VS2010 (I haven't figured out how to deploy the app from VS, this doesn't work)
Deploy the app by XapDeploy.exe tool ("...\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\XAP Deployment\XapDeploy.exe"). Select the "Device" and point to the directory with *.xap file (...\AppName\Bin\Debug)

Didn't find windows phone 8 emulator

I installed Visual Studio 2012 and Windows Phone 8 SDK successfully. I created a new phone app and trying to run but it doesn't show me any emulators in Visual Studio 2012.
Make sure that your PC satisfies the system requirements for running the emulator:
Windows 8 Pro edition or greater
A processor that supports Second
Level Address Translation (SLAT)
If your computer meets the hardware and operating system requirements,
but does not meet the requirements for the Windows Phone 8 Emulator,
the Windows Phone SDK 8.0 will install and run. However, the Windows
Phone 8 Emulator will not function and you will not be able to deploy
or test apps on the Windows Phone 8 Emulator.

Pretty much #Olivier's answer. Also, make sure you have Hyper-V enabled on your computer.
In lieu of this, There's a very nice tool on codeplex that pretty much checks if your computer is able to start hyper-v and the windows phone emulator.
If that passes, you'll want to follow this article in order to get hyper-v set up. Specifically the two enabling sections.
There was a post a little while back on what is required specifically here on stack overflow. It can be found here
