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

Question

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)

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

I uninstalled the existing version of the app in device and re-ran it and it worked for me

Answer 3

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!)

Answer 4

Steps that helped me. I have windows 10 mobile build 10581 (and now 10586) installed on phone

1. Turn off Developer mode on your phone.
2. Deploy app (UWP or SL) by VS2015 -> Error.
3. Turn on Developer mode on your phone.
4. 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!

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

Try on another usb port. It worked
