You can read about the whole process here.

Here are the steps but if you encounter any issue while following these steps go the the page linked above to see how to fix your problems.

  1. Turn on your phone and unlock the phone screen.

  2. On your phone, ensure that the date and time are correct.

  3. Connect your phone to your computer by using the USB cable that came with your phone.

  4. On your computer’s Start screen, switch to All apps view.

  5. Under Windows Phone SDK 8.0, click Windows Phone Developer Registration. The app starts, as shown in the following image. Developer_Registration_Tool

  6. Verify that the Status message displays Identified Windows Phone 8 device. Click the Register button to unlock the phone.
    If your phone is already registered, the Status message indicates this and you see an Unregister button.

  7. Click Register.

  8. In the Sign In dialog box for your Microsoft account (formerly known as a Windows Live ID), enter the email address and password for your Microsoft account.
    Click Sign In.
    If you’re a registered developer, be sure to use the Microsoft account associated with your developer account.

  9. After your phone is successfully registered, the Status message displays Congratulations! You have successfully unlocked your Windows Phone.

Note: You need to have Zune installed and running with wp7 devices

If Your Device is Registered and not working so You Should Un-Register your Device from Dev Center and Re-Register it.

The Registration Process is Shown here for WP7.

then Try to Deploy app on Device.
