Phone : HTC Windows Phone 8S
Thank you
Hello again.
Windows Phone Developer Registration tool doesn't "see" my device. I've double checked all requisites (.net framework, IpOverUsbSvc, phone listed in file explorer, screen unlocked, correct time, internet connected, etc.) The only issue I can think of is the fact that I still haven't set up a Microsoft account in the phone; but... is this reason enough for the WPDR tool to not even see the phone?
Any hint appreciated. Thanks!
That's probably the cause, yeah. You could try setting up the account to see if it works, then...
Well, I've found something interesting: when I've plugged my device to a virtual machine running win8 and the full WP8 SDK, it recognized my phone instantly. So, now we know that a device that has not been set up with a Microsoft account can be dev-unlocked.
So, definitely there's something wrong with my installation of the hacked SDK-lite. Or maybe the drivers. I have a kind of mess in my laptop because of all the previous drivers and programs for Symbian and my Nokia C7. I still find it hard to get used to the idea that Nokia is not Nokia anymore, but Windows. I have to repeat to myself twice a day: "I don't own a Nokia Lumia, but a Microsoft Lumia".
Thanks for caring, GDTD.

Well maybe the virtual Win 8 OS with WP8 SDK recognized your phone because Win 8 has the winusb drivers build in. On Windows 7, you need to install these winusb driver (you normally have a unrecognized device called Windows Phone 8 in the Device Management).
Link to the drivers : http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=winusb http://catalog.update.microsoft.com...updateid=90462af8-f533-4522-9ad1-dcc969d94832
Hmm... Well, this is strange. My device seems to be perfectly recognized by the system. Actually, every time I plug the phone in I get a popup window listing it under "devices and printers" with the correct model (RM-892 | Nokia Lumia 925). In the device manager it appears as a Nokia USB device, with no exclamation marks nor any sign of "wrong driver". Yet, the hacked SDK insists in not finding it.
On the other hand, I've tried to install the "winusb" driver you mention, but the link you provide redirects me to somewhere where there is no such driver, and I haven't been able to find a download. In any case, there are at least five copies of winusb.sys in my system...
Don't know what am I doing wrong.

You need to visit the website with Internet Explorer. Go to google type "winusb windows phone microsoft update catalog" and go to the site with "catalog.update.microsoft.com" in the URL. If you don't see the download link of the driver type "winusb windows phone" in search. There should be an unrecognized device called "Windows Phone 8" in the device manager (start menu -> My Computer -> right mouse click -> Manage -> Device Manager in left context menu) for this driver to be installed, if not I can't help you further.
Thanks Bruce. I've done what you said and was able to download winusb. It's a .rar package containing two files, winusbcompat.cat and winusbcompat.inf. Now, if I'm not abusing your patience... what do I do with them?
[EDIT] Ok, don't bother. I figured out how. Actually this solved my problem. After properly installing the winusb driver, the WP8 SDK lite by Arnold Vink recognized my phone.
Thanks to everybody who helped me "out".
Now I wonder how could I mark this thread as "solved"...
Hi,
My Nokia Lumia 925 won't respond to anything (NSU, NSU->”My phone does not startup or respond”, Nokia Care Suite->recover phone, volume down + power button,…).
Already leave it charging for several hours. Can’t have any reply from the phone.
Now the phone is kind of dead. Can start it and the only thing I see Is a QHSUSB_DLOAD (Nokia Emergency Connectivity) in PC.
I have tried many things according to internet but i can't get any success windows device recovery tool is also not detecting my phone and it is not listed in it. i have tried thor command also not working it says invalid hex file.
Please help me to recover my phone from QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.
Please help me
i cant update my pc to windows 7
but i want project my screen for windows xp
or if anyone know any other software to record windows phone screen then please say me
TIA
Dude, if you're still running XP (which is 14 years old and unsupported, with serious known security issues) you have much bigger problems than not being able to record your phone's screen.
Considering that Win8.1 will run on any computer manufactured in the last eight years or so, and that you can buy an entire Win8.1 machine for less than $300 even at full retail pricing, I'm skeptical of your claim that you *can't* upgrade.
Hi all,
After trying to install W10 on my 630 it seems that I am now unable to since it has been removed from the W10 insider program.
After doing some digging around it seems my only option would be to flash a W10 image myself but after a whole lot of searching I cannot find any sources for an image someone has made.
Did I research this right?, is it even possible?.
Thanks for any help.
I'm also in need of this if it is possible, I believe you are right that this is the only way to get Windows 10 on the device. It seems like almost every device can get Windows 10 besides the 630. Which really sucks because at one point it was able to get updates for windows 10 then it became unsupported and they took down the old update files.
I have a couple Lumia Phones on Win8.1 and I want to update to Win10, but obviously I cannot connect to the store. I cant believe I didnt know about the Windows Store shutting down before now!
The really bad news is my Lumia925 does not have a File Explorer app so I dont know how to install anything on this. I've tried downloading various .xap and .appx files, is there no way of updating this phone?
so I was following the guides posted for setting up Windows Phone Internals to unlock the bootloader and mass storage, I thought I had done everything correctly as I found the FFU for my phone, I flashed it once and then selected unlock bootloader, but now my phone is softlocked with a blank screen that just says Nokia. I cant shut it off and this model Lumia 925 doesnt have anyway to remove the battery. hopefully I can recharge/reset it after the battery dies
I thought the 925 was like all the other Lumias but it doesnt even have an SD slot sigh! I guess this wasnt the right Lumia for me to buy lol at least I still have my Lumia 1520 working just fine, but I wish I didnt just throw away $50 on this thing
I was hoping to have a smaller sized WP (as backup to my 1520) but the only other model I want is the Lumia 950 and for that price I could buy a full windows tablet/winbook with keyboard lol... is the 950 worth it? or should I just wait a couple years for small notebooks to decrease in price
update: my battery finally died and when plugging in the charger the phone came back... now to see if i can figure out what went wrong :good:
Press and hold together [Volume down] and [On/Off] keys. This will reset your phone as a battery pull.
You can try a method call "offline update Win 10 mobile" to up Wp10 for your Lumia 925 in this XDA forum, it don't need to unlock bootloader. I can't get link to you in this post, sorry !
