Hi,
If WP7 was not official launched in India you cannot access those features.
You must create or change your Windows Live account to a region that has WP7 official (UK, USA, Spain, Germany)
Thanks
Had the same issue.
So I have 1 official live account with India region(which I will use when WP7 releases world wide)
and an unofficial live account I currently use for downloading free apps.This one uses the address of a US Mc. Donalds outlet in Bethesda .
Cheers.
Have the same problem.
Can you provide a small guide as to how to go about it.
Btw is it possible to have to live accounts on the same phone?
Also I have already activated the phone with India all over.. so do i have to reset it to enter the fake ID?
Thanks in advance..
I just mailed HTC India regarding it since its now officially available moreover I bought the product with a 1 year warranty.
We can do this without creating ( and wasting time ) a US account
Use regedit and navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Zune\Features
You will find 3 keys in it
Apps
Marketplace
singInavailable
in all those key values add IN for example
AT,AU,BE,CA,CH,DE,ES,FR,GB,IE,IT,MX,NZ,SG,US,IN
Launch Zune. Now you will be able to see marketplace. You can make purchase with your credit card , download free apps / games.
Only catch is : after we sync it with zune , registry value changes. You might have to redo this stuff. But the advantage is that when the marketplace is launched in india it will be seemless integration.
Hi asksaravana,
Your tips was truely helpful. I could download some useful apps from the marketplace.
I recently bought a T-Mobile handset HTCHD7 from US.
I want to use it India. Unfortunately all the T-Mobile applications are US specific.
Is there any ways to get Airtel specific applications?
Regards,
Ram.

This works, but now some of the downloaded applications have new versions. How to update them. Marketplace in phone shows 10 updates, but when you click, it gives errors that not available in your country/region.
Found a way to update installed applications on phone.
Install marketplace browser.
Search for the installed application in marketplace browser.
Once you open the application page, you will see update button if there is a new version for the installed app.
Click update and update all your apps one by one.
Marketplace thru Wifi / GPRS
Hey guys, just reached this thread, is there a way any one figured out to get marketplace working either by wifi or gprs / 3G
Coz trying to browse the market from the phone shows " Not Available on your Region" - Zune works perfect.

Solution Found for Marketplace in india
open up zune.
create a new live account from within zune. select location as US.
it will automatically sign you in .
go to your control panel - region and language.
set the location to US under the location tab.
apply the registry hack as mentioned in the above posts.
restart zune.
you can access apps , music, videos . podcasts in marketplace now.
i have been doing this.works all the time.
( you need to change the registry settings everytime before opening zune. or create a registry and that will make everything little easy )
have fun
So is Marketplace still not available in India?
I just switched to Windows Phone. I even bought an app using an Indian account and an Indian credit card. However, the only way I can access Marketplace is by making the registry changes. I can't access it in my phone.
I just uninstalled an app and I have no idea how to re-install it. Can anyone help?
now Microsoft said that the SDK is free + development is free (i have win8)
soo it meens i can install a third party app on my WP8?
(i remember in WP7 that a dev can install any app he want)
lets say WAZE for WP7 its a .cab file
link for app: http://meirtsvi.wordpress.com/2011/06/27/waze-for-wp7-downloads/
thanks
Development is free but deployment to the device is not. You're either a registered developer or a registered company or you can only use Marketplace Apps.

got it.... it really seams to esay
is it possible that i sideload apps that i did not download from the official website?? if yes then how??
Assuming you mean un-encrypted homebrew or beta apps, yes. You need the WP8 SDK from Microsoft, then use the Windows Phone Developer Registration tool to dev-unlock your phone. Dev-unlock with a free account (that is to say, any typical Microsoft/Windows Live account) will only allow sideloading up to two apps at once. For $19/year, you can get up to 10 at once, though. In either case, you would then use the "Application Deployment" tool to install the XAP.
If it's an app that you *should* have gotten from the store - a game, or any paid app especially - then no. It will be encrypted with a DRM scheme that we haven't yet broken, and honestly, I wouldn't tell you how even if I knew.
I'm a little confused with all these new things.
There is not now another way to sideload un-encrypted homebrew without developer registration?
It is not possible to modify the xap of an homebrew to show it in the marketplace thanks to a proxy?
No and no.
Ok thank you. It was to be sure because I had a doubt when I read what o2neouzr tries to do there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398275&page=8
Hi !
I'm new on WP8 dev and when I started to develop my app I was facing a problem
Actually, I haven't unlock my Phone and I haven't got a Dev' Account
I just would like to know if there's a way to put my app on my device w/o paying anything.
(It's only for my personal use, I don't want to put it on the store)
So, thanks in advance and have a nice WE !

Dev-unlock is free... just run the Windows Phone Developer Registration tool and follow the instructions. You can use any valid account.
A free account will only allow you to have two sideloaded (unsigned) apps installed at once, though.
Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot ... I haven't this kind of problem with android
A question from a totally new windows phone noob.
Long time ago i buy an app for check my phone balance (calls credit, mobile data MB left), now that application was removed from store and i cant reinstall that because i changed my phone from HTC HD7 to Lumia 1520.
My question is: i have the XAP file of that app downloaded from official store before the remove, if i dev unlock (basic unlock - 2 apps) my Lumia 1520 i can install that application?
Thanks
Can you open xap with 7-Zip and view files inside ?
I have 2 XAP of that app.
1 is opened by 7-zip the other not
U can deploy the opened variant.

For deploy i need "2 app unlock" or i can simply install with the SD card tip?
A little background: Sometime around the end of the WP7 lifetime, Microsoft started encrypting Store apps with DRM. Those cannot be sideloaded using app deployment, though they can be installed via the SD card if the app is allowed to be installed at all. The bold part is important; installing from SD still requires accessing the store to get a license for the app, and Microsoft can just not give you one.
Non-DRMed apps (recognizable because you can open them as ZIP archives) can be deployed using Application Deployment if your phone is developer-unlocked (the 2-app unlock is fine) and the app doesn't require any special capabilities (for WP7.x apps, that just means the app doesn't have ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES in its manifest). If there's a file called WMAppPRHeader.xml in the .XAP, you'll need to remove it before deploying.
If the app has ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES in its WMAppManifest.xml file, you'll need to interop-unlock the phone first. This is now possible for Lumia phones with SD cards, such as the 1520. I'm not going to explain the details of doing it here; they're easy to find on the forum in the dev&hacking section especially.
Note that an app which has been un-published may simply no longer work. Many apps have to talk to a server somewhere for the app to function. That server might no longer be available for your app. This is pretty common for unpublished apps; no reason to keep a server running for an app nobody is using (or it could be the other way around; they might have unpublished the app because it wasn't worth the cost to keep the server running and without the server the app is useless). Basically, even if you get the app to install and run, there's no guarantee that it'll work.
