Thanks for the work here, this is pretty cool. I have successfully loaded WP7 and everything appears functional.

Hey guys...

To all the people who are saying that MS is catching on and the call agents are not giving out a key because of that...well...I highly doubt it.

I called MS more than once and always got what I wanted... You have to keep in mind that it`s a common thing that people call there to ask for an activation code. Even brand new WP7 phones sometimes need a new code. Otherwise MS would not have such a service at all and in Germany they have put up a special hotline just for this issue (and for paranoids, this hotline exists longer than WP7 port to HD2).

I posted this in another thread but it couldn`t hurt to post it here too:

You can call the US Microsoft support hotline from all over the world and get a key (you have to speak english thoug). Only thing that matters is that you bought a US device. They don`t care where you are from.

AND you can call that hotline for free via skype...

And just get your story straight, don't just say...mhhh...I need an activation code.

It's possible that MS can detect non-original WP7 phones in some time and will ban your live id/account...That is why I am going to wait a bit more till I actually use the code.

Ah ja, THANK YOU COTULLA AND DA_G AND DFT TEAM (Actually I hope some people are also going to donate to Da_G and not all to Cotulla, cause he earned it too)

just to add to that: if your experiencing problem 2 (which i was) you want to make sure that your windows firewall is disabled, antivirus disabled, and skype disabled, and disable any network connections on your pc. also, make sure that you have airplane mode turned on on your phone. you want to also have airplane mode on when installing third party apps through tom xap installer but you can worry about that after you unlock your phone.

in addition to doing whats in the above post, do what i listed and it should work fine. Thats what got it working for me, hope this helps! :)
