Unable to connect to Windows Phone 8 device

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.

Quick question. Have you installed the Windows Phone 8 client app from Windows 8 store?

Yep, that works fine and I can see everything that's on my phone. Just can't deploy any code to it, and it is developer unlocked (had to do that with a friends pc)

I don't have one of the new Lumia's yet, so I cant be of much help here. But I would recommend you to try and post the issue on this forum, as this seems to be more of a device / drivers issue than a developer related problem.

They've sent me back here haha [url]http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/Unable-to-connect-to-Windows-Phone-8-devices/m-p/1616334/highlight/false#M26170[/url]

So it seems that its suggested that the problem may be with the Driver for the Unlocked device. I didn't know that there where 2 drivers. One for Consumer devices and another for Developer Unlocked Devices. Try to remove and re-install the WP8 SDK and see of that helps.

It seems that your phone is unlock, so the problem does not come from here.
To deploy an application the lock screen of the device must be unlocked.
Are you using a virtual machine?
Do you see WP8 devices on windows explorer?

Thanks for the help. I've transferred the thread over to the MSFT support forums ([url]http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wptools/thread/314a50ee-ac0e-4c78-8c8d-c81092fd362b[/url])
