Thumbs up [Q] Quick developer unlock wp7

Hi there, I saw these posts about developer unlock for windows phone 7. I tried to do every single one of them, but somehow somewhere I always get a mistake... I want to root or however you call it my windows phone 7.5[mango] and i am a noob when it gets about that.... I currently possess HTC Trophy, and i want to do this because i want to be able to send and transfer files via bluetooth. I also tried to install xap files via ie on wp but it say file type not supported... Anyone know a way i can install .xap file on my windows phone 7 that it's easy?

No such thing as a quick developer unlock for HTC phones.

This is the best guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1271963

Post Nope

Nope, i need a tutorial on how to install .xap files, and on a link you gave me it says to install .xap file with xap file deployment tool... how the heck am i gonna do that when i can't open xap files since it's developer locked???

3. Download this attachment to your PC: HTC Interop Unlock.xap
4. Connect your device to a PC running Zune and install the xap-file using any xap-deploy-tool. You don't need to start the app. If it starts automatically, you can close it right away.

Currently, the only ways to dev-unlock a Trophy (or other HTC phone) are to get an AppHub account or use a custom ROM.
Win8/Windows RT Projects:
EnableFlash script
List of desktop apps for hacked RT devices

WP7 projects:
XapHandler, Root Webserver, OEM Marketplace XAPs, Bookmarklets collection (Find On Page), Interop-unlock hacks.

For more device specific instructions and custom ROMs, go to the forums for your device. HTC Trophy, you said

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=809

In order to load a custom ROM, you need to downgrade and change the HSPL/RSPL. For the Trophy see here

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1503298

As far as deploying XAPs to your phone from your computer, many options exist, but you have to be at least developer unlocked, and the only way is through AppHub right now. Thus, maybe flashing a custom ROM would be a better way to go.

Good Luck! and hit Thanks if you found this helpful.
