It’s important to test your apps on a real phone. Before you can deploy
apps to your Windows Phone, you have to register the phone for
development. After you register your Windows Phone 8 phone, you can
install, run, and debug apps that target Windows Phone 8 or
Windows Phone OS 7.1 on the phone.
To register a phone, use the Windows Phone Developer Registration tool. This is a stand-alone tool that’s installed as part of the Windows Phone SDK.
Your phone is now registered. You can now deploy apps to the phone.

To register your phone by using the Windows Phone Developer Registration Tool
- Turn on your phone and unlock the phone screen.
- On your phone, ensure that the date and time are correct.
- Connect your phone to your computer by using the USB cable that came with your phone.
- On your computer’s Start screen, switch to All apps view.
- Under Windows Phone SDK 8.0, click Windows Phone Developer Registration. The app starts, as shown in the following image.
- Verify that the Status message displays Identified Windows Phone 8 device. Click the Register button to unlock the phone.
If your phone is already registered, the Status message indicates this and you see an Unregister button. - Click Register.
- In the Sign In
dialog box for your Microsoft account (formerly known as a Windows Live
ID), enter the email address and password for your Microsoft account.
Click Sign In.
If you’re a registered developer, be sure to use the Microsoft account associated with your developer account. - After your phone is successfully registered, the Status message displays Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked your Windows Phone.
If you have trouble registering your phone, check the following requirements.
- Is the phone connected to the computer with the USB cable and recognized by the computer?
- If you’ve connected a Windows Phone 8 phone, make sure it’s listed as a drive in File Explorer.
- If you’ve connected a Windows Phone OS 7.1 phone, make sure it’s recognized by the Zune software.
- Is the phone turned on and the screen unlocked? If you have to retry registration, be sure to turn the phone on again and unlock the screen.
- Are the date and time set correctly on the phone? In SETTINGS | date + time, turn off the Set automatically setting and then retry registration. After registration succeeds, turn this setting on again.
- Are both the computer and the phone connected to the Internet? On your computer, make sure that your web browser does not have Work offline enabled. Also, you cannot connect through a proxy server that redirects to a login page; for example, in a hotel or an airport.
- Is your Microsoft account information correct and valid? If you use more than one Microsoft account, make sure that you have signed out of the other accounts and then retry registration.
- Is your Windows Phone Dev Center account active and valid? To check your account status, in your web browser, browse to the Account page.
- Is the IpOverUsb service (Windows Phone IP over USB Transport) running on the computer? If you still have a problem, consider restarting the service.
