yeh mine was fine for a while then started getting that error, for some reason my times and dates had messed up and was saying it was 2012. I've fixed it now but I did several things, not sure which one worked.

1. had mass storage hack on my pc so changed it back to normal.

2. changed the time/date to manual

3. rebooted

4. changed internet explorer settings to disable cookies

5. changed the time/date back to automatic and checked regional settings were correct

6. synced with zune

7. rebooted and tried to sync hotmail and gmail account

8. worked fine again

Hope this helps!

Sadly, I'm getting the same error others are getting in Chevron...

I have the WP7 SDK installed.

My computer's registry has the correct key. It was installed by the SDK.

I have the phone synced with Zune, no sleep mode on the phone.

Antivirus is off, same with firewall.

This is so frustrating.

I even have a key ready to go!!

ChevronWP7 Connection Error Fix

I was getting the Connection error with ChevronWP7 unlocker for the past 5 hours and saw this on another website and it worked, so I am passing the info on to everyone here.

REMEMBER: The "hosts" file only can be edited with admin rights => open a command prompt with admin rights

Browse to the folder windows\system32\drivers\etc and type "notepad hosts".

Delete all hosts at the end of the file.

Save the file.

Turn on flight mode of your phone, restart phone and computer, connect phone to computer, connect to zune, start chevronWP7.exe and unlock the phone.

keep me informed....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jdschrack:
Thank you

Gentlemen thank you for your hard work on this. I was able to contact Microsoft and they were willing to generate the key.

The article 2431699 from Microsoft has the support center numbers for those of you digging all over. I guess I haven't replied enough to post the actual link.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jdw97702:
Thought I might help some. Took me a while to figure this thing out but managed to pull it off. Ill give you a step by step that I was kind of looking for.

Step 1 - Install wp7 sdk found here. No idea why but I did because people said to. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=04704acf-a63a-4f97-952c-8b51b34b00ce

Step 2 - Go get Zune for your pc. Just google it and install it. Pretty much all I did there.

Step 3 - Go get chevron the unlocker. Heres the Link. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857127

Dont Forget to grab the certificate at the bottom of the first thread! It wont come with the chevron download.

Step 4 - Get your phone on wifi or the internet. Get an email setup on your phone so you can recieve email. From your pc grab the certificate and email it to your phone. Install it onto your phone by just clicking it from your inbox.

Step 5 - After the certificate is installed plug your phone in. Zune on your pc should see your phone. Run chevron's unlocker. Check both boxes. Done with that...

Step 6- Go grab toms .xap installer from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=860964

This through me off a bit. Just click it once downloaded. A box will pop up but nothing will show you that its installing. Just give it a sec then click the x and if your pc asks you if it was installed right just choose yes.

Step 7 - Go get the HTC connection setup from here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=911309 also get this touchxplorer from here http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=582

Install the connection setup first by just clicking it . Make sure your phone is on and unlocked. Toms installer will pop up and just install that badboy. Same with the touch explorer.

Step 8 - Grab Xbmoddeployer from here http://localhostr.com/download/vSPCa1C/XBMODDeployer.xap

Install it.

Step 9- Open touchxplorer on your phone. Go to My Documents then My ringtones. Click the custclear.provxml just to highlight it. Then bottom right of the phone click the ... Then choose copy. Click back arrow twice. Then choose your Windows folder. When it opens click the ... on the bottom right of your phones screen and paste. Once thats done back out to see your phones apps list. You will see connection setup. Run it.

After that setup your live account and put in the code that you called in for. Hope this helps. I know I sure wish I had a step by step when I was doing my own. GL

Whew.

So Singapore Microsoft have told me that South East Asia needs to call HTC directly

I spoke to quite a few of the clueless people at MS, until they point blank told me that all keys are generated by HTC only.

Anyone else in Singapore (or SEA) got a key?

Any issues calling HTC? Will they ask for more information?

I don't usually beg, but if anyone has a spare key that would be great.

Update:

Well, there's me complaining about MS, and they call me back and give me a code.

All's well.
