I HAVE FOUND A NEW WAY FOR STUDENT DEVELOPER UNLOCK!! STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES!! CHEERS!


***********PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING*********


IMPORTANT : Sicne the APP HUB IS UPDATED FOR WP8 , THERE WILL BE SOME DIFFERENCE IN THE TUTO WITH THE APP HUB THINGS, SO MAKE SURE YOU DONT GET CONFUSED.

Important : Timings i noticed to see the Maricopa Community College activate accounts is 8PM IST,so youll can try to make the accounts at that very time.

V.Important : Make sure you follow it step by step and dont 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.

I would suggest you make a fresh Hotmail ID because the Apphub updated and use it at the registration tool.


PLEASE  READ THE WHOLE THING FIRST AND THEN PROCEED WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Video : Will make one soon with new steps for now follow the screen shot and the rest of the tutorial.


So Here is how to register your phone as a developer phone FOR FREE....You can deploy upto 10 xap to your device, also u can unlock 3 Windows phone using 1 Live ID.

1.The main thing is to get a free student account i.e a edu email address.

First of all make a new account at OUTLOOKhere.

You need to sign up, HERE.

At the signup page, Follow the screenshot, do exactly as i have done :

SSN number youll get HERE, copy and paste it without the "-" , for example if you get SSN number 123-45-6789, u have to paste it in the SSN box on the college website as 123456789 without quotes.

download this image for better view of the details

Image

Make sure you save all these info with you, in a notepad or sumtin.
Also make sure for the permanent address, you can add your real address so that it accepts it.
Also in the "Your college Account" u need to add 4 digit number which will be part of the email, save that email in your notepad.

After you have done the part from the image above and you submit that form youll get you STUDENT ID, save that i the notepad as well.

Now goto this PAGE

and login using the student ID and password, leave that page, now open a new tab and goto this page

Here you login using the college ID, and dont use "@email.bakersfieldcollege.edu", just the part before that.

once you login , youll get google accounts page , goto the bottom of the page, click on "I Accept. Continue to my account"

Now this is the college email ID..keep it open.


Now goto  https://www.dreamspark.com/ and you need to login using the Live ID u just made.


Follow this link  https://www.dreamspark.com/Verify/Default.aspx

You will be asked to sign-in with ur Live ID or u will b taken to this https://www.dreamspark.com/Verify/Default.aspx?wa=wsignin1.0

page directly.

These are the options to be selected..

1.What country do you live in? - United States

2.How would you like to verify? - Verify as a Student

3.How would you like to verify your account? -  Get verified through my school

then click continue,

next page is "Get Verified With DreamSpark"

1. United States
2. California
3. Los Angeles

Select "BakersField College" in School Selector

Next page Should ask you for the EDU email address, enter that..

Once your done here, you should get a verification email in your .edu email, so go chek it out there and click on the verification link , now you have an edu email and a dreamspark account!!

i.e ,  click here  https://www.dreamspark.com/Activate/Activation.aspx  and enter the verification code that is provided to you in the edu email.

Now Create an Apphub account and link it to your Dreamspark LiveId.

a.After Dreamspark is verified, go to App Hub - home register your Windows Live ID and signup as a student. It will ask if you have a verified Dreamspark account.

i.e here  https://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/register

Enter these :

Select this option if you want to sell apps as a sole proprietor or using your DreamSpark student account.

you will get a page with :

We’ll send you an email with instructions to confirm your account. In the future, we’ll also use this email address to send you messages about critical updates to your account.

Now goto your Live/hotmail ID and verify the account.

b. Download the Windows phone developer tools from here
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13890

offline installer here : http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=201927

or if you have it  just ,
c. Run the Windows Phone Developer Registration tool. Sign in with Windows Live ID you registered at AppHub, connect your phone and make sure it is not screen locked, viola, Windows 7.5 Phone now unlocked. And you can unlock 2 other Windows phones too for a total of 3 phones.

Note to some users which may have some enquiries about bypassing the Geotrust verification.

Geotrust Verification is NO LONGER needed for Student accounts to unlock their phones. I have a valid student account from my own institution and too was surprised verification was no longer needed.

The reason Microsoft provided was to save time. So don't worry about having to code a dummy app and submitting it to MS just so you can receive the Geotrust message and verify your account.

I had the same error. The way to fix it is to change the country from United States to the country you are actually in.


Complete the details and voila,success (for me anyway)

You will get another email saying your details will be checked. I don't know if they actually check your details, my account seems fine after 3 days.

Please note you only get to install 3 apps (wtf!) using this method. Using the Windows Phone software you can however delete an app then deploy another app.

I still haven't been able to find a working registry editor for my Lumia 800. Apparently, you can change a reg entry to enable unlimited apps.

Hope this helps you out.

Thanks for this. I got this to work on my Dell Venue Pro!

Just a note, you can only sideload up to 3 apps for students (paid memberships can sideload 10 apps)

Thanks for sharing!

guys...since the apphub got updated now the tuto is a bit changed and you can get around 6 apps deployed..or even 7.


bdw pls make sure u wait for the ID, because it depends on the server timings...20 mins is just the initial part of the registration.

Hit thanks B)
