IMPORTANT :
Since the APP HUB IS UPDATED FOR WP8 , THERE WILL BE SOME DIFFERENCE IN THE TUTORIAL WITH THE APP HUB PROCESS, SO MAKE SURE YOU DON’T GET CONFUSED.
Important : The college site is down on weekends for maintenance.
Make sure you follow it step by step and do not skip any step unless one is completed. If you do not get the email from the college , it may be due to server downtime, and I would suggest you check the email after a few hours.
You require your current hotmail/livemail/outlook id which is linked to your phone.
Check this video :
PLEASE READ THE WHOLE TUTORIAL FIRST AND THEN PROCEED WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Video Update Coming Soon : Will make one soon with new steps. Follow the screen shots and the rest of the tutorial for now.
So here is how to register your phone as a developer phone FOR FREE. You can deploy upto 3 XAPs to your device at a time installed. Also, you can unlock 3 Windows phone using 1 Live ID.
Instructions :
1. The most important step is to get a free student account ( i.e an “edu” email address)
2. Incase you don’t have already, create your hotmail/live mail account HERE
3. You THEN need to sign up HERE
At the signup page, Follow the screenshot, do exactly as I have done :
SSN number you’ll get here, copy and paste it without the “-” , for example if you get the SSN number 123-45-6789, you have to paste it in the SSN box on the college website as 123456789 without quotes.
Make sure you save all this information with you, in a notepad.
Also make sure you add your real address for the permanent address so that it gets accepted.
In ‘Your College Account’ you need to add a 4 digit number which will be a part of the email you receive, save that email in your notepad.
Download the image for better view.
