Error communicating with the Windows Phone Dev Center. (ErrorCode:0x64) - windows-phone-8.1

I am trying to resolve the following error:
Error communicating with the Windows Phone Dev Center. Set the correct date and time on the phone, check your Internet connection, and try again. (ErrorCode:0x64).
I've checked our developer account and can see there are no devices unlocked so we haven't hit our limit. (We did have 3 devices previously unlocked but they have since been deactivated and removed from the account).
The date/time are correct and the device is connected to a valid Wi-Fi with Internet access.
Here is what I have done:
I have rebooted the PC (Windows 10)
I have rebooted the phone (Windows 8.1)
On the phone I have switched the date/time settings to manual and then back to automatic
I've factory restored the device to original settings
I've checked local host files for anything related to windows/Microsoft/development
I've restarted the IpOverUsbSvc service many times

There was a server side problem with the Dev Center that blocked device unlocking. It should be fixed now, so try again, though it may take some time to propagate.
In general you should contact Microsoft Dev Center Support with problems like this as it's not something anybody outside of Microsoft can help with.

I just got this.
Nothing worked until I finally connected to a Internet capable wireless network.
Hope this helps someone else.

An Internal error occured error code 0x4 remote desktop connecting to google cloud Compute Engine VM

When tyring to login to RDP the "old" remote dekstop connection gave "an internal error occured"
And the new modern UI remote dekstop from windows store with version 10.2.1810.0 gave: error code 0x4 remote desktop
It seems a colleage has been logged in with wierd screen size. How can I resolve this without rebooting the machine?
I found a solution.
In the new GUI untick:
"Uppdatera fjärrsessionens upplösning vid storleksändring" in Swedish
Which translates to: Update the resolution of the remote session when resizing
Update remote sessions resolution when size change
Actually, even moving the port off 3389 doesn't help (for long)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
if there is an open port allowing RDP they will find it eventually and you will need to implement one of the above programs noted by Daniel. That was exactly my issue as well. You can usually tell if the problem is intermittent since it's just luck to get by the constant pounding on the open port...
For me, it was the graphic choice. No idea why but as I swap between the 4 options, only one works
I needed to set it to Highest Quality (32 bit)
However, I then restarted the server, and it no longer worked but True Colour (24 bit) did work! So, hopefully by toggling through each will get you through
In my case the cause was AVG Firewall blocking some RDP connections. I had to configure AVG Remote Access Module to allow RDP connections from some known IP addresses.
Hope this helps someone.
Looks like this error code pop up for many things... from screen resolution resize to colour depth to firewall and more... Which is quite odd. You have to check what is your specific case.
In my case, when I had problems with error code 0x4, it was related to unprotected RDP port.
In my case, it was caused by open, unprotected, RDP port 3389. As many would guess, this is a highly targeted port by bots. If your port is open to anyone in the internet, it's just a matter of time that your server or computer will be targeted.
The best solution would be to only allow connections from trusted IP addresses, the ones you use for connecting to your server.
Of course, that can't always be possible, so another solution would be something like the fail2ban utility used on many Linux servers.
The two solution I've found are EvlWatcher which is free and open source, and IPBan that have a free and open source version, but also a paid version.
You only need one of them, as they do the same thing. Do not install both. They will scan your logs and will temporary or permanently block any IP address with repeated fail connections. I suggest you always have your main IP address whitelisted, so you don't lock yourself out.
Best regards to you all.

How to access a device that has invalid SSL certificate from linux mint/debian?

I have several devices that have invalid SSL certificates, mostly old routers,iDRAC,iLO etc.
It now appears to be impossible to access these devices via Chrome and Firefox.
In the past I have been able to add exceptions to access these devices, but I no longer seem to get the options.
Now I understand fully that these devices should be upgraded and I know there are very big risks when ignoring certificate errors, so please do not put a ton of replies telling me to upgrade, as this is not always possible, some of these devices do not any any upgrades available! also how do you upgrade a device that can be upgraded if you cant access it in the first place?
So the question is, is it possible to tell Chrome or Firefox to ignore all SSL/Certificate errors (like invalid certificate or incorrect SSL version), or is there an alternative browser that will work in there place that still allows things like javascript etc to run. I have tried a few browsers in the falcon/surf/hv3 but none of these work.
I cant find any method for the latest versions of chrome and the only thing I could find for firefox was 'security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling' and that didn't seem to make any difference :(
I would prefer to use my current install rather than creating a VM and running a totally outdated OS, which also creates problems with SSH and VPN access.
As request, example of error accessing old draytek router via firefox, no option given to bypass:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to IP-ADDR.
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.
Chrome error when trying to access HP iLO, get option to ignore, but then get :
This site can’t be reached
The web page at https://IP-ADDR/login.htm might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_SSL_BAD_RECORD_MAC_ALERT
But in general looking to be able to access sites that chrome & firefox have decided in the last year or so that I am incapable of deciding if I trust the site (emphases on the 'I').
Both of these errors do not seem to be related to the certificate at all and can therefore not be solved by ignoring certificate problems. These are not trust problems but these are protocol incompatibility problems.
The problem with HP iLO is likely because the device supports only SSL 3.0 which is insecure for years and thus is not usable in any modern browser and OS. The problem with the Draytek router is not fully clear (there should be more information available in the browser) but it is likely similar, i.e. only SSL 3.0 or some unsupported because insecure cipher like RC4.
One option to deal with these devices is to install some older OS (like Ubuntu 12.04 or even older) in a virtual machine and use the browser from this machine to access the device. And of course note that these devices are long out of support and continued use might cause security risks.

Unable to register Windows phone 8.1 for Developer Account

This is really annoying. Microsoft needs to grow up and fix such silly issues.
I already have a developer unlocked device in which I was able to debug until now. All of sudden it started showing device is not unlocked for developer. Now when I am trying to register it is showing iPOverUsbSvc is not running. I restarted the service. Stop and start the service. Phone and system both restarted. Nothing working for me.
I tried this but nothing seems to be working
Okay finally go the solution. I needed to change the name of device from File explorer and it worked
But the error message we get of no use.
Thanks

Windows Phone 8 Emulator Deployment Issue with Internet

I am facing an issue with windows 8 phone emulator.
Windows Phone emulator wasnt able to connect to Windows Phone
operating system. Phone didnt respond to connect request
This is the error that I get. When the emulator starts with internet but my application doesnot deploy. The ip that gets assigned is 192.168.137.1. Previously it worked fine,
but then suddenly it started giving this issue.
Below is the list of troubleshooting that I have performed:
169.254.xxx.xxx address set to internal emulator via dhcp, Application deployed successfully with NO internet connection
Have tried MAC address spoofing but nothing works when I use these settings.
Have changed External Virtual Switch in Sharing mode this starts the internet with ip 192.168.137.1 but application doesnot deploy
In debugger errors shown are:
Invalid pointer error
App deployment failed
Have tried Network bridging but still it doesnt work.
Created all settings manually including the internal switch and external swithch. But same issue faced when it gets 192.168.137.1 ip then internet works but application doesnt deploy.
And when it gets 169.254.xxx.xxx ip series application deploys but no internet connection.
No firewall are turned on or no antivirus is blocking any connections.
Wireless router used for network connectivity, still not successfully
Have also tried clean installation of everything but still no go.
Need help with this issue as I have been trying to get it resolved since a week.
This issue is not faced if installation is done on the same pc through a virtual machine.
What I did was :
Have allotted 4gb ram, 60gb hdd & 4 cores to the VM.
1)I installed a virtual machine with default settings.
2)Then I stopped your virtual machine (shut Windows 8 down, DO NOT suspend it).
3)At the VMWare Virtual Machine list, right click Windows 8 machine then click "Show in Finder".
4)Right click the file then click "Show package contents", then find and open with a text editor a file with the extension .vmx
5)Go till the end of the file and add this two lines (first check whether they were previously added):
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"
vhv.enable = "TRUE"
6)At the VMWare Virtual Machine list, right click Windows 8, click "Preferences" then "Advanced". Choose "Intel VT-X with EPT" as "Preferred virtualization engine".
And then when I started the windows in the virtual machine it seems to be working fine without any additional setting change. However it is still not running on a physical machine
I recommend if someone is facing a similar issue then to use a Virtual Machine till this kind of issue is resolved.
Struggling with the same problem for 3 days I finally solved my issue by disabling windows firewall for "Guest or public network". I have yet to figure out what application/service to allow through so I can re-enable it.

Windows phone 8 emulator not showing maps

I am trying to create a windows phone 8 application but the emulator does not show me the map. all I get is this.
as you can see no land mass is show and no roads are shown. I have panned around and come across nothing and the emulator location is set to an area where land should show.
If I run it on my device it works fine and the map loads.
Could this be due to a port blocking issue or something silly like that.
Cheers
Mark
The approved answer might not be 100% correct. Check out the following blog post, and you will notice, that your emulator probably doesn't have an access to the internet.
http://michalstawarz.pl/2013/01/26/windows-phone-8-emulator-maps-display/
Windows Phone emulator supports Bing Map for sure.
It seems the Problem may be due to
Network Connectivity Issues with Host PC
Proxy Issues
Other Issues
Workaround for the above Issues.
If you see blank blue map screen as in http://michalstawarz.pl/2013/01/26/windows-phone-8-emulator-maps-display/ as Michael referred.
Then its good to go. Problem is Internet connectivity / proxy not configured.
If its is Network Connectivity, then troubleshoot your system network adapter. Problem may be due to limited network connectivity / PC not connected to internet.
If it is proxy then,
Get IP Address of "Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator
Internal Switch" using IPCONFIG in CMD prompt
Then Enter it under Exception List in IE's LAN Settings >> Advanced >> Exception
Other Issues may be due to Not Configured / improper IP configuration when adapter's IP setting changed manually.
If it is the case -- then Remove all virtual adapters using Virtual Switch Manager Menu in Hyper-V Manager and RUN Emulator with ADMIN Privileges.
Maps are not supported on the Windows Phone 8 emulator.
Maps are now supported, and the original question is no longer valid.
If the answers from Micheal and Prakash doesn't solve your problem.Then try this-
Open regedit in the C:\Windows folder.
In Registry Editor open
for 64 bit Windows-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\MAIN
\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION and then create XDETools.exe with hex value 2328.
for 64 bit Windows-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\MAIN
\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION and then create XDETools.exe with hex value 2328.
