I am trying to deploy some code to two Windows Phone 8 devices from Windows 8. Unfortunatey, the 920 and 820 are both not causing me some amount of trouble. When I plug the devices in it recognises them as Windows Phones and I can explore the files on the devices but when I press deploy on my code it says no Windows Phone 8 device detected. When looking in device manager there is two versions of the Nokia device I am using and an exclamation mark, update the drivers says "drivers not found online" and uninstalling the drivers just removes them but then after a restart the two versions both with exclamation marks pops up again.

In the logs I have found this:

Something is going wrong but I can't for the life of me think what it is, please note the cables and devices work as expected on another window 8 pc.

The Windows Phone Windows 8 app functions correctly despite all this....

You'd be better off asking the people on the developers forum for assistance with this as this forum mainly deals with consumers, not developers.

They sent me here......http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Discussion/showthread.php?238433-Unable-to-connect-to-Windo...

If you have a developer unlocked device that you are trying to deploy code onto then it is a developers forum issue.

If your phone isn't developer unlocked then that is probably the reason why it doesn't work.

It was me that suggested asking on this Forum because of this information:

"When looking in device manager there is two versions of the Nokia device I am using and an exclamation mark, update the drivers says "drivers not found online""

It seems to me that this is a driver related issue, and if thats the case, there isnt much we can do from a developer point of view. I though that by asking here, perhaps someone that had the same issue wityh drivers could help.

[psychomania]

But is it a driver issue with a consumer device connecting to a PC or with a developer unlocked device trying to connect to the SDK? They can behave quite differently and if it is a developer device/SDK issue this forum isn't the correct place for it.

Obviously there is no harm in leaving the topic here to see if anyone knows.

Right click on the Nokia icons in your Device Manager one at a time and select Update Driver... Have it search online for the driver. It will update to a WinUSB device (yes there will be 2) and then you will be able to connect via the developer registration.
