I think not, but you can try install some homebrew app.

i used Windows Application Deployment (SDK)
then i tried some apps and some went ok and some failed.
what i did installed the XBMOD.cer onthe phone
and signed the XAP with the WP7-3MktPlace tool (via settings)
i installed satview 1.2 ,remote desktop_1.13 , devstore 8 and HTC interop unlock from heatcliff74

EDIT!!!
i managed to start the HTC interop unlock !!!! and now ? what is the next step ????
what can or must i do to unlock this phone ?????

Windows Phone 8 can install xap's, this does not mean it can run or start them if they require interop unlock. Currently interop unlock is not possible.

pffft...finally got this (allmost) working...
it doesn't lett me in several of these folders....
working on it...i will update later...

You can change any value by Registry Editor and save ? (or not - I think so not)
For check you can try to install an application that needs access to the root eg: Shutdown: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21751650&postcount=1
You can install app but not run (when tap, app is back to the apps list).

Oh wait it's only for Windows 8 WTF? There is no way I'm going to upgrade to that crappy os.

Very nice news! Hope to see this on HTC 8X too!

i follow you men!
i have an HTC 8S too, i will install VS 2012 and make DevUnlock with the SDK tools.
i will help you if you need testers, i am just begginer i can not help you to develop.

wp7mktplace cant sign these apps anymore
try other things or already signed homebrew apps

It possible to call all funcs from system dlls. But a lot of funcs returned Access_denied.

How about we all save some time and stop trying this silly idea, huh?
The interop unlock you're trying to install was for older HTC WP7 devices. It doesn't work on newer devices, and it certainly won't work on WP8 devices. The apps won't work for two reasons:
-Your device isn't interop unlocked
-The binaries are compiled for WP7, not WP8. Not even simple innocent apps like Orientation Lock run under WP8, because they aren't compiled correctly for WP8, nor do they use the correct APIs.
What should be encouraged, however, is an evaluation of the OEM apps on the device, to see if any have exploitable holes. I'm guessing that HTC has learned its lesson by now, but hey, worth trying.
Also, I'm curious to see if this XAP will do anything if sideloaded. I'm guessing no, as it won't have interop privileges, but I'm still curious to see what happens.

I'm with you, trust me I want the same thing... I have a edu Dev account and I am sick of the 3 app limit, never mind the lack of custom colors (Advanced Config), It seems a interop unlock for my 8X would be the only thing I need now to enjoy it more.
As long as these apps will work with a 8X of course

These are the steps I did to get this working.
1st I unlocked phone with ChevronWP7 Unlocker & Cert here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127
2nd Install to your computer Tom XAP Installer v1.1 to load XAP file to your device here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860964
3rd Download Advance Configuration tool XAP File from Touchxperince Site here http://forum.touchxperience.com/view...1&t=590&p=2349
4th I thought I was done at this point but installer was not reading xap file and someone recommended I install Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=04704acf-a63a-4f97-952c-8b51b34b00ce
After doing that everything worked fine. Hope this works for you. If it does dont forget the developers that makes this great hack possible send a donation their way

wow all that to install what should already come with the phone, great,
so its not as simple as it was on the HD2, just copy and past the cabs and run them, wish me luck.
Good luck,but you should be fine. All the tools are there,and this should be the only time you need to do this.
I'm unable to install this on my HD7. It tells me to make sure that phone is unlocked and is connected to zune which they are.

It doesn't need to be active. But, be sure your phone didn't relock. It happens when the phone is plugged back into Zune. Do a search and you'll find a few topics on blocking Zune from relocking the phone. One has to do with a certificate and hack. The other has to do with blocking a url from your routers (or read blocking through your firewall) dns config.

if you unlocked your phone with chevron or any other registry editor you are fully unlocked. However if you have a true developer unlocked phone (via a dev account with MS), then you cannot install interop apps on Mango. See here for details.
A user with a legit dev unlocked device cannot deploy ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES xaps. They just get the dreaded E: 0x81030120 error.
Here is what the expert says.
but there is hope for Samsung and HTC users. Heathcliff just released a new procedure to fully unlock without going back to NoDo here.
---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------
btw. there is another thread announcing the app. Schaps also updated the registry editor which works fine on my LG Quantum.
there is no straight forward way to uninstall the newly installed apps from the settings page. I successfully uninstalled with XAPDeployX. Sideload the xap again and check "force uninstall if application is already installed". Then click deploy. The program will uninstall the existing one on the device first and report this in the deploy tool with a success message. Right then you unplug the phone from the USB. Voila - it is now uninstalled and gone from settings.
Somebody else posted that you can install an older version (e.g. v1.3) that will show up in apps. Then you uninstall and it normally and it will be removed from settings as well.
just in case it doesn't work for you and you want to remove it...

if you are on Mango until now only LG users were able to get into the registry via the MFG tool to unlock their devices. Other users would have to go back to NoDo, fully unlock, set measures to prevent relock and then upgrade. But Heathcliff seems to have found a way to do this without going back to NoDo. He seems to be very close to a solution, working on Samsung and probably soon on HTC as well. I'd suggest you wait and follow that thread before going the painful back-to-NoDo route.

I'm on Mango beta. To install the official release, I'll have to revert to NoDo. I did on a previous phone, and escaped unharmed.
So depending on which arrives first, how do I fully unlock, etc. before installing the official update? I tried previously, but must've done something wrong because it didn't work.
I am following Heathcliff's thread. With reverence, awe and bated breath.
Again, thanks.

Many believe that if on 7720.68 you will just see firmware and radio updates rolled out to your device and you are all set. We really do not know at this point and might as well throw a coin. There seems to be some evidence that those on 7720.68 won't have to roll back.
If you do have to go back then unlock and stay locked using these guides

im on unlocked samsung focus mango 7720.68 using version 1.4
deployed OK & showing under settings but when clicked i get error "UnauthorizedAccessException"
then if i hit OK then the app opens but i do not think its working correctly after that
Tried to install on my hd7 with mango, but can't see on my apps list. Don't know why because it was working fine with 1.3

developer unlock to full interop unlock ? possible after Tango ?

I've been running around in circles for hours, is it possible to go from a developer unlock to a full interop unlock -after- having updated to Tango 7.10.8773.98 ? I can load some XAP's, but root tools and wintt fail.
I had to format my PC and lost my backup.
I'm sort of in the same boat as you. I will be going to my local at&t device support center and getting my phone flashed. I'm hoping the guy there can use the oldest rom he has and or give me a copy of it. I'll post results.

no is the short answer if you have already got the newer firmware, the Windows build has little to do with it,although the tango builds do phone home to relock but that can be prevented
dev unlock is not interop unlock, which is needed to access high privileged functions
if you didn't update the firmware but you did let it relock then simply reapply the unlock and then apply the relock prevent xap, but I suspect you have already tried that suggesting you have the new firmware as well

perhaps ATT will flash the older ROM, I doubt it though and I doubt it even less that they would give you a flashable copy
but stranger things have happened so lets (hope) wait and see
Not what I really wanted to hear, but that's about what I figured/expected. I can't imagine going into AT&T & finding someone who had a clue about re-flashing a WP device.

you cant load other OS
you cant SIM unlock
you first need developer or appstudio account
also need WP SDK to unlock and deploy (XAP) files
with interop unlock you can change registry settings, enable or disable many options in WP, deploy homebrew apps....
Thankyou for your help
