"File not found" error when deploying to Windows Phone 8 - deployment

I'm trying to deploy my first Windows Phone 8 app to my brand new Lumia 920, after getting everything up and running on the emulator, but I'm running into the following error during deployment:
1>------ Deploy started: Project: AudioFilteringPhone, Configuration: Debug ARM ------
1>Deploying C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\AudioFiltering\AudioFiltering\Bin\ARM\Debug\AudioFiltering_Debug_ARM.xap...
1>Connecting to Device...
1>Optimizing for device...
1>Installing the application...
1>Deployment of application to device failed.
1>Error writing file '%FOLDERID_SharedData%\PhoneTools\11.0\Install\{29b31259-9af9-47a5-9891-c3098315d3d8}\AudioFiltering_Debug_ARM.xap'. Error 0x80070003: The system cannot find the path specified.
If I manually try to deploy using the Deployment tool, I get the same error. Does anyone know what the cause of this is and how to alleviate it? This happens even if I just start a new WP8 app and immediately try to deploy it, so it's something wrong with my environment, not my application configuration.

I had exactly the same problem, but solved it by simply rebooting the phone. No software updates were required.

It turns out that there were software updates that needed to be installed. If anyone knows a way to find out the names of the updates applied, I will post them here, otherwise all I can say is that I had to update to OS version 8.0.10211.204.

This also can be because of wrong USB cable or port. I have a long cable for charging which works with android devices, but doesn't with WP.
Or maybe using another USB port helped.

Could not receive a message from the daemon in Flutter

I know this message has been already asked before but none of the answers has fixed my issue,
The error message:
I have already tried disabling the hotspot of my emulator (which is a Pixel XL API 30) but it doesn't work. I have also tried restarting my pc, IDE and emulator and also changing my IDE from vs code to Android Studio but the error doesn't go away. I am new to flutter and I don't want to give up at the start!
Disable your mobile hotspot. If you use windows 11 that was my error try, will run normally easy like this.
For me, it was the Windows Hotspot Wifi as "#Salah dine Maham" said.
As I know it is related to a gradle issue (shows up from about gradle v6.3), I went to the
android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
I updated the distributionURL into :
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.1.1-all.zip
You "may" need to update the gradle plugin on the android project.
And now you can debug again freely through Windows Hotspot wifi.
So, as I said I couldn't find any solutions but here it is:
delete ANY VMware processes or, if you can, unistall VMware and use virtualbox instead, even if vmware is not running it will confict with other emulators.

Bootstrapping 'Device' failed WHEN deploying UWP to my device

Hope you can help me out with the following:
I saw that there is a similar if not equal question for this. However this is for Build 10240: Error : DEP6200 : Bootstrapping 'Device' failed. Device cannot be found
This are my specs:
Windows 10 Pro
Version 1511 (OS build 10586.63)
Latest SDK installed
Visual studio 2015
Nokia Lumia 920
Windows 10 Mobile
Version: 1511
OS build: 10.0.10586.63
Surfing on the internet I saw that one of the possible problems is that the IpOverUsbSvc services is not running. In my case that service sometimes is running and some times not when Windows OS has started. In case it's not enable I only start the service.
Even doing that I get the same exact error
Does anyone have a similar problem? or have found a fix or workaround for this?
Just faced the same issue. Tried restarting VS and services and it didnt help. What helped was
Unplug device.
Go to Devices and Printers.
Remove Lumia XXX. This will uninstall the device from your system.
Plug in the device again, and it will work.
MikePR,
All you need to do is,
First approach:
Login to dev center account
Goto Dashboard -> Account Settings -> Unlocked Windows Phone and delete your devices. This will work.
Second Approach:
Plug already registered windows phone device and unregister it.
Now you try the device which is not working and it will work.
Thanks.

Error : DEP6200 : Bootstrapping 'Device' failed. Device cannot be found

I've read every StackOverflow that I could find on this issue, but I still can't work it out.
I'm trying to deploy an app to actual device (NOT emulator). But I receive the following error when i try to build:
Severity Code Description Project File Line
Error Error : DEP6100 : The following unexpected error occurred during bootstrapping stage 'Connecting to the device '30F105C9-681E-420b-A277-7C086EAD8A4E'.':
SEHException - External component has thrown an exception. App1
and
Severity Code Description Project File Line
Error Error : DEP6200 : Bootstrapping 'Device' failed. Device cannot be found. App1
It's worth mentioning that I went from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It's also worth mentioning that my computer was missing the IpOverUsbSvc.exe (not just the registry post, but the actual service was missing). Couldn't find any way to get this back so, so my colleague sent over the .exe and the DLLs and I placed it in it's location. And the service is now running and no longer gives any errors. My device is recognized by the PC, it's running Windows 10 Mobile (but I've also tried with a device running Windows 8.1).
Specs on PC:
Windows 10 Pro (Build 10240)
Using Visual Studio 2015
UWP Tools
Any suggestions to fix my nightmare? Thanks!
Steps that helped me. I have windows 10 mobile build 10581 (and now 10586) installed on phone
Turn off Developer mode on your phone.
Deploy app (UWP or SL) by VS2015 -> Error.
Turn on Developer mode on your phone.
Deploy app (UWP or SL) by VS2015 -> Working.
If you change another device or re-connect you must close VS2015, re-launch and do again!
Finally managed to find a solution to this illusive bug.
It seems that if I didn't have the Windows Phone 8.1 Tools installed I couldn't build to an ARM device (not even Windows 10 Mobile).
So my step to solve this was:
Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Microsoft Visual Studio ... 2015 -> Modify. And then select the Windows Phone 8.1 Tools.
Pretty pissed that one can't get a reasonable error message when things like this is missing.
I had this issue after updating my device to win10 ver:10.0.10581.0. I tried many things but finally after installing latest sdk and emulators i got it working. You may try installing from this page sdk and emulator:
https://dev.windows.com/en-us/downloads/windows-10-developer-preview
Somehow the new emulators were not visible in vs, they got visible after few restarts and then on device debugging started to work.
But one problem still remain from me that vs crashes after ending debug session with device.
desktop-->my computer--> right click--> management--> service--> start the service Windows Phone IP over USB Transport (IpOverUsbSvc) although maybe the starttype is set as automatic
Seems like there are many issues causing the same error message.
This one worked for me Windows Phone deploy Issue
Essentially you need to remove/uninstall the device from Windows. Then after unplugging and plugging back in, the device and drivers are reinstalled.
I tried many of the suggested solutions to no avail.
After changing the USB-C cable from a USB 3.1 port to a USB 2.0 port on my computer, the error goes away. YMMV
I see it is quite an old post...but I still get this problem. In my case, this happened after I deployed to a second phone I had for testing. After that, VS 2017 now only wants to deploy to that phone and not to the other phone no more. If I start another project, the other phone is recognized and deployable to (listed as device under debug).
Restarting system fixes this...
Also, if I add another project as reference (like a background task) to my project, I will loose the ability to select the devices and emulators under debug. VS 2017 simply then seems to deploy to the last device selected...(really no clue what this is). I have not been able to get the selection of emulators and devices back yet on this one. I only will have the "Start" and "Download new emulators" options. I think this has to do with the fact that VS maybe doesn't know the type (like arm/86/64) of the reference project because it is not set (not needed as this defies the purpose of referencing a project for dynamic references and not the compiled device specific file...)
Hope it helps someone ....
I uninstalled the existing version of the app in device and re-ran it and it worked for me
I got that error for a really simple reason...just opened a new solution I downloaded from GitHub, pressed F5, and got it!
I had left my build configuration in the default "Debug - ARM" setting, when I changed to "Debug - x64" it worked fine!
(Just adding another reason for completeness, not likely to affect your case!)
In case it's helpful for others... I got: DEP6701 bootstrapping failed ... access denied.
Thanks to comments here, I only dev-locked then dev-unlocked my phone (was originally dev-unlocked). Totally works now (took some time installing missing frameworks at first). All good.
Thanks
One more thing could be tried.
Uninstall the existing app if any and then deploy from Visual Studio.
Try on another usb port. It worked

Visual Studio/WPConnect Unable to Connect to WP7 Device

For some reason, I'm no longer able to connect and deploy to my wp7 device. Zune does not show the phone as being connected, despite the fact that it is connected and the phone shows that it's being charged ... and the wpconnect tool gives the following error:
Failed to connect to the device.
Ensure that the device is completely
booted and is connected to the PC.
(0x80070103)
I rebooted the phone, and I've deployed to it before, so it's definitely developer unlocked. I verified that my computer has internet access. Any other troubleshooting thoughts?
Hey, I run into this all the time. Simply restart your phone and connect again. Make sure you plug in and unplug the phone several times, waiting at least a minute if it doesn't work.
In short, it's temperamental, Keep trying.
Make sure that you have switched off WiFi and Bluetooth on your phone.
I have found that I cannot deploy when Wifi and Bluetooth are switched on - even though Zune is syncing music and other content in the usual fashion. The error messages are frustratingly unhelpful!
As a short term workaround try using the Application Deployment utility to deploy the xap file.
I had the same issue. When I changed the Project properties target OS to 7.1 it worked.
I had the same issue. Only restoring to the previous OS version helped me.
Also I would that it usually happens when internet sharing is turned on.
I think I finally found the problem!
When I had this problem a few days ago, I had been charging my phone (Lumia 900) using a faulty charger which keeps on getting disconnected. And now that I've changed the cable and charger, it started working again!
I had the same problem with my previous phone as well (HTC Mozart), and I had a bad cable back then, but never made the connection (geddit?) between the problem and the cable...
My theory is that when the phone is running on bad power supply/not getting enough power, it sets a flag in the registry, which throws that error.
Also, bizarrely I just found that if you have internet sharing turned on then it won't let you connect.
Any of above mentioned did not work for me. I had many different error messages (included the 0x80070103)
What did is this:
Go to https://dev.windowsphone.com, uregister your phone.
Launch registration tool ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\Phone Registration\PhoneReg.exe")
Unregister in tool from 2) too (if it is showing still as
registered).
Now disconnect phone and connect it again
Register phone in tool from 2)

Running directx SDK samples on a Windows Mobile 6.1 device

I tried to run the directx samples from ..\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Samples\PocketPC\CPP\win32\directx\d3dm\tutorials on a Samsung Omnia and on the emulator and it doesn't work because of a deployment error.
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and have installed Windows Mobile SDK Standard and Professional refresh.
The device is correctly plugged in and set up for active sync (I know this because other samples work, also a creating Win32 smart device application and running it works).
When I try to run a directx sample application it compiles without errors but the message:
" There were deployment errors, Continue? Yes/No" appears
If I manually copy the application from the debug folder to the device and run it from there, it works.
The same deployment error message appears if I try it on an emulator. Other applications are deploying successfully.
Is there any way to make the deployment work? Maybe there is an obscure option I need to set...
What I do is:
Connect the Mobile device to the PC,
Open Visual Studio 2008,
Open a directx sample project,
Click Run (in Debug or Release mode).
The problem with the deployment is that the file msvcr80.dll could not be found.
It was specified at the deployment options as an additional file "Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->Deployment" then "General->Additional files"
with the paths msvcr80.dll|$(BINDIR)\$(INSTRUCTIONSET)\|%CSIDL_WINDOWS%|0;
Removing it makes the deployment successful. I have only tested this on a Windows Mobile 6.1 device and with the D3DM reference driver on an WM6.1/WM6 emulator.
What I haven't figured out is where does $(BINDIR)\$(INSTRUCTIONSET) point to.
Also I don't know why msvcr80.dll is in the addition files if it is not actually needed.
Is there actually a msvcr80.dll compiled for Windows Mobile platform on an ARM cpu?
I was able to resolve this issue after doing some low-level Sysinternals Debugging. It was trying to deploy NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab to the device and in my case it was deleted for some reason. Re-installing .NET CF fixed the issue for me. Wish VS 2008 said what file was missing instead of a generic message. Hope this helps you too.
