Microsoft had released the Windows Phone 7 Series SDK at MIX few days back but the SDK along with the emulator was locked down restricting developers to check out its full features, until now. With few hours of tinkering, Dan Ardelean managed to unlock the ROM image giving full access to the build. Needless to say, this is quite an achievement and devs at XDA-developers are devouring the ROM image trying to uncover anything and everything they can find.

You can find the ROM image here and follow these instructions to make it work.

1. Download & Install Visual Studio 10 express, Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP
2. Rename the file to WM70C1.bin
3. Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\WindowsPhone\v7.0\Emulation\Images
4. Rename the existing WM70C1.bin to WM70C1_old.bin
5. Copy paste the downloaded bin file
