Today without any reason VisualStudio was not able to connect with the WP7 device. When I selected “deploy solution” I received the following error:

------ Deploy started: Project: ...

Deploying D:\MyProjects2010\...

Deployment of application to device failed.

This operation returned because the timeout period expired.

========== Build: 2 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

========== Deploy: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========




Zune client was on.



Zune client seen the device.



Device was dev-unlocked.



Everything worked fine for weeks…



I don’t know why it happened, but I resolved doing the following steps:



    
  
  • Turn off PC 
    • 

  
  • Turn off mobile 
    • 

  
  • Remove and reinsert battery from mobile 
    • 

  
  • Turn on PC 
    • 

  
  • Turn on mobile 
    • 

  
  • Visual Studio is able to connect with device again 
    •
