chevron is now not working has there been an update.

for some reason it just says having trouble communicating although usb connected, zune running screen unlocked certificate installed and date and time correct. Have I missed anything.

This is really doing my nut now.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] BRG:
i will give 10€ for a key pm me
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Snake-Plissken:
Thanks for that great tutorial...

the hardest part was really to get the activation key, took me the longest time...but with just one phone call ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] fost4real:
Thanks for the tutorial. trying now...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] n_god:
Can you help me get an activation code. I live in turkey and they told me that since wp7 has not been launched here they cannot assist me. who is kind enough to help.

please pm me.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] bountygiver:
for those whose ms support for wp7 is not available in their country yet... you can try use skype to call 1-800-936-5700

skype call to toll-free numbers are free

or you can use google voice (set language to English US and you can use in your gmail)

I have the same issue, got already my activation code and was able to sync with my live account, but if I try to install something from market I get above mentioned error code. Is market not working with hd 2 ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Akademist101:
hi there reporting similar issue with above posters as in

i received my activation code and synced with my live account. But its not letting download or install any apps. The big problem for me is that it cannot determine the country/region where you put your date of birth and a tick box to personalise. I've resetted it although it just keeps loading and the accept button greyed out.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Akademist101:
I've managed to do it. you WILL need to reset your phone. Re do the getting started although leave the language on English (US) do not change it as I occurred problems as a result. go through it like normal activate, and then marketplace should all work now
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] suadcandir:
try to run it as administrator, it helped me :)

chevron has a probleme to communicate with my phone

Hi !

Thank you for the tutorial

But Chevron does not seem to work on my laptop. I always receive an error message that says it can not communicate with the phone.

Does Chevron works on vista?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Snake-Plissken:
had the same issue, is zune software running and is it showing your device in zune...otherwise click connect in zune....

was running fine under win7 64
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Sklar:
Please may I have the UK number to call for the Activation Code?

I have searched, and all of the numbers don't give the options I require.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Snake-Plissken:
just did a factory reset, activated it again but same message again. do i need a sim card in the phone to actually use the market?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] TheRockSays94:
Well, ever since I installed chevronwp7.cer on my WP7'ed HTC HD2, my computer doesn't recognize it anymore. Anyone for a help, please ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] shatroghistro:
Info please?

I would call someone from usa to get the code for me

app help

ok first off, thank you so much for this tutorial, it worked flawlessly for me except after i got everything working, the touchxplorer had to be uninstalled and whenever i try to download an app it says "Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while." i saw someone else with the same problem but couldn't find a solution, can anyone help? i really wanted the Netflix app and all:(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] shatroghistro:
It sure is

Not many people replied on the other thread, so I am looking for help wherever I can.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] TheRockSays94:
Hi everybody, and thank you very much to bazgee for this easy and cool tutorial. Now I post this message to let you know about my problem, so maybe you could help me out. Here goes.

When it comes to deploy XBMODDeployer.xap (or even TouchXplorer), it always comes with that message: "ERROR - 0X89731813".

And I have searched all over the internet for that thing, and either it was in a language I don't understand (Asian most likely), or something I already did (Zune open, Screen not locked).

Can someone bring me the light over this matter ?

Thank you in advance ! :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Snake-Plissken:
i had same issue. but make sure you start chevron as administrator, check both settings and hit unlock, and keep chevron running dont close it, that was my misstage...

after that it should work just fine...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] TheRockSays94:
It worked, like you said ! Thanks so much ! :)

Now I'm facing another problem: There's not any file in the "My Ringtones" files. How come ? Is there a solution ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Snake-Plissken:
after you deployed XBMOD Deployer to your device you have to start it once. its in your app list on the very bottom and after you started it, it should give you a message that the file was extracted to the ringtone folder...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] durkaya:
Perfect Tutorial Thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] TheRockSays94:
It worked perfectly ! Thank you, man ! Awesome.

A question though: Do we have to keep the files in the phone, once everything is done ? Or can we delete them ? (Except for TouchXplorer that I want to keep)

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] bryangopan:
Are you guys having any luck ? PM me if not
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] shatroghistro:
Solution!

Guys, if you have troubles getting the code from MS outside the US, don't pay to this guy above, he is asking to pay 10$. I got my code 5 minutes ago, it took 3 minutes to finish. Just download the program Hotspot Shield and you're fine. I got my code from Serbia. Listen to me, DON'T PAY, getting codes is free and legal!

Yea right .. no wonder the thread you mentioned above got deleted by forum Admins. Also guys its no where "LEGAL "" unless you get it from MS itself . and that too we know very well that we are not assigned to use WP7 on our devices .... so its better we avoid any or another word with the same meaning .
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] shatroghistro:
It is not legal to ask for money from people for something that you say it is illegal. Everybody can contact MS and get the code. Give them your personal information and it's ok. Nothing illegal in it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] bryangopan:
Yes it is provided you have a WP7 licensed device ( HD7 , Mozart , surround or any other ) and you are in the country in WP7 is officially launched . If not better dont and try other means ..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] myname008:
bryangopan was very helpful with the code , i really recommend him if you guys have no luck with the code
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Dalalala:
Yes i agree too .. He was very quick and prompt .. And i dont mind donating if any one does a favor ...I too reccomend him ...:)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] theanswer32006:
Is MS still giving activations out or am i too late to the punch? If not, am willing to donate for one. Will be out for a bit so pardon the late response. Thanks in advanced.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] shcuris:
Thank you for this great tutorial it worked great, the problems I had were all answered here in this thread.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] shatroghistro:
This is so obvious that the same guy opened different accounts to try to trick people. Oh come on, no one is that stupid, we see that these are new accounts. If someone has troubles with the code, I will do it FOR FREE
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] shcuris:
To add to my reply earlier,

I just wanted say that today I tried to get an activation code using chat and the other guy on the other side was this Ken guy and he replied very quickly letting me know I had to call 800-936-5700 for support.

I called the number given from the chat with Ken, it stated as if I had to pay for support. I really didn't know what option to pick so I picked tech support and told the guy I wasn't sure if I chose the correct one and told him I was calling because I needed to activate my windows seven phone, because I wanted to use it to purchase some apps; and he said he could take care of it for me and asked if I lived in the US or Canada I told him Phoenix, AZ he asked me for my name and phone number and then he took a few minutes and then gave me a product Id code xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx and that was it. Not sure if it just a coincidence but the first 2 letters in the ID code were my first name and last name initials probably a fluke but thought I would mention it.

So I guess it is hit and miss with some of the people over at Microsoft, but I can say keep trying because it worked for me.

Thanks again for all the help from all the people here in this thread.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] theanswer32006:
I don't know if you are referring to me as "that guy", but today is my first day on this site. If you are willing to give me a free one, i won't argue with you. But I was just asking before I called MS. Please let me know. Thanks a million.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] bryangopan:
There were 2 series of codes released by MS .. The activation for the first series is no more being accepted by the servers ... I advice you to try calling them again
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Dalalala:

apps work, memory now

ok, so after reading through this thread again and again i found out what i did wrong and restarted the process and got apps to install perfectly, now my phone says im out of memory, even though i have the 16gig SD card in, any ideas? i though i saw a post about this but i havent seen it in my searching lately
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] mcbyte_it:
I tried contacting MS thorugh their support form on their website, asking for activation code for my HD7 (in reality HD2 ;)) but the answer was to call a local support call center :(

i am from italy, can i call italian support to ask for a key or just US microsoft support? i have a google voice number which i can use to make the call in case it must be US support...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] krypticos:
Bryangopan was very helpful and i got what i was after very very fast. he kept me well informed of what was going on and everything.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] mcbyte_it:
Update to my post:

I followed the chat method, and the operator on the other end was nice and stupid :)

I said i got an HD7 and it needed activation, he asked from where i got it, i said a gift from walmart, he said from Italy? i said no (there are no walmarts in italy), i got it from a friend in the states (If he was smart, he should have known that US phones are mostly operator locked and can't be used in italy).... he said he ok, he can help me, he said that my name was a nice one ;) then asked for full name and phone number, and after few moments gave me a key, and asked me it worked, the problem is that i am running now android, during the week end i will try to install WM7, so i said yes anyway.

Question:

is this key valid for my phone for more than 1 install or just once used i can no more use it again ??

as i currently prefer android, but want to try WP7, later if i want to get back to WP7, can i reuse this key?

: May I know the IMEI number of your HTC HD7 Phone?

: Please dial *#06# in your phone to get the IMEI number.

: XXXXXX

: does that look right?

: Please give me a moment, while I validate your IMEI number.

: Thank you for waiting.

: np

: I would like to inform you that the IMEI number you have provided is invalid for Windows Phone 7.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dragosj:
Thank you for the activation code bryangopan. It worked like a charm on my HD2 with WP7.

After donation the code come very fast from you.

Thank you again and I recommend you to anyone.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] matziq:
Same here. I got my code from bryangopan. Fast and worked perfectly on my HD2 w/ WP7. Highly recommended.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] lathera:
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned or not but, i just asked the nice costumer support lady how many time i can use the code i was given and she told me the one time only
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] bryangopan:
times

Well no ... you may use the code as many times as you like for a ( one ) phone . The code gets registered with the UNIQUE PHONE ID or IMIE . Of late there has been news saying that each code could activate up to 3 devices but not sure how much we can take that forward .

So get the unique code guys and don't share it

, pm me if you guys need help with the code .

You know what i think is a little easier than all this mucking around...? A modded WP7 Rom that you flash which is already activated to side-load apps... Thank you Russians :)

I just went to this alternative after too much mucking around with Customer Service, My HD2 not unlocking, all that jazz.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Angelusz:
EDIT: I've solved the problem, turns out my ROM was already Chevron unlocked by default!

After setting my region a and display language, phone restarted for saving these changes...and it's restarting and restarting so on!

I cannot BOOT my phone anymore :confused:

Help PLEEEASE!

wp7 code

Hello,

Would you like to teach me HOW I can get the code. What Phone # should I call?

My phone is running Android now, can It run on both software: Android and WP7? Or I have to choose ONLY ONE?

All your above questions have been answered and discussed in detail , please use search button . You will definitely get the answer .
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] agentfazexx:
From what I've heard, just calling Micro$oft and getting a code is how you activate Live... Just give them any email, and your phone number and it's done. Tell them it's an HTC, and HTC said to call Micro$oft for the key, and voila.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Amedeus:
Activating vis MS phone call

Hi

I'm in UK and phoned MS and told them I have a HD7 with WP7 and need an activation code as I cannot connect to download apps. They asked me for name, phone # email address [hotmail] and few minutes later..supplied key!

Certainly works no prob!

Cheers

A
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] SpiritWolf:
Well, I have gone through this several times and followed the steps exactly on my twilight wp7 rom, and it just won't accept the code i got from microsoft.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] agentfazexx:
This tut is b/s, as are all activation tut's. The only thing you have to do is call MS for a key, tell them you got a new HTC phone, and you can't get on the Marketplace. They'll give you the key after being on hold for 10 minutes or so. Just did it last night. This crap about registry edits and certs is baloney.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] don007:
Yes the MS ppl are asking too many details... better to contact bryangopan and he did the thing in no time... thanks so much and you rock bryan!!! :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] agentfazexx:
They only asked me for my number and make of the phone, gave em my number, told them it was an HTC. That's too much info?

Don't be afraid, this isn't illegal. If it was, XDA would have been sued by now.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] okeyus:
Hello.

I have send the certificate to my email adress and when i'm trying to open it i get an error 0x80070002. It says that the certificate might be unsupported or corrupt. Any ideas?

The problem is gone after I activated WP7 but I still can't move on.. I have installed certificate and Zone detects the phone. But when I'm opening ChevronWP7 i get an error which says that i should make sure that my phone is connected and i should make sure that Zune is running. All that is done so what's the problem?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Cero92:
Yes i also did so, they didn't ask me which model did i have... I also gave them an uncomplete number: the guy interrupted me while i was saying that
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] nofear365:
I'm 99% sure the problem is with Zune. Zune updated recently and now most of us have the same issue. Tonight I'll try to uninstall Zune and reset my phone. I'll reinstall Zune with my network turned off so Zune can't fetch the update. Crossing my fingers that Chevron will begin seeing my phone again...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] nofear365:
Well this is what happened.

I disconnected my network, uninstalled Zune, rebooted, reinstalled Zune via the original binary I've always had. While doing that I did a hard reset on the device as well. Plugged the phone in and Chevon now sees my device. However, it won't unlock it. I redid the certs, I cleared my host file, flushed the DNS, etc...

I think our only option is to try another ROM at this point. One that is already Chevron unlocked.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] nofear365:
I just flashed my phone with the XBMOD image and my phone works PERFECT!!! It's got the CHEVRONWP7 hack already embedded which means the phone is unlocked right out of the box.

Once setup, I called 800MICROSOFT and requested a key for my "HD7". They had me on hold for 5 mins and returned with my new 25 digit key. I'm now officially setup on my WP7 HD2 phone and downloading apps on through Marketplace as I write this.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] moserdaposer:
im curious is it illegal at all if i call and ask for an activation code and dont lie to them when they ask questions? and if so whats punishment?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] moserdaposer:
o yeah and now im really confused cause i read an article congradulating the guy who made chevron? im so confused all i care about is wether or not it is illegal to get/ask for a activation code.... not the apps
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] cyb0rgb0rg:
Well, if I would think the Microsoft way I would guess something like this.

There's an OEM license bound to the phone sold through retailers. That means we don't pay the license fee.

As mentioned earlier though, this can hardly be anything but a good policy for users (customers) like us who actually bother going through the paces getting it working on hardware that used to run software which is more a disgrace to Microsoft than anything else. I say big ups to ms for this one, should I not be mistaken in my theories. :-D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] moserdaposer:
k but say i were to call and ask they give the code yada yada can i get in any trouble at all legally and what not

thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] cyb0rgb0rg:
Not sure about the legal part. But I called Microsoft today and got my activation done. They needed my IMEI, name and adress. Anyway I got the key and was welcomed as a customer. Good stuff.

OT: WP7 is sweeeeet. :-)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] nyl:
will activation still work if i change ROM without needing to call Microsoft again?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] angel1977:
most files corrupted
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] mightycoco:
Yes. Just type in the same activation code you got from microsoft. Worked for me just fine.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] k2flipside:
this is one of the easiest explanations i have read on this site yet. thanks (from a noob)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] combatmikie:
I tried for a while to find microsofts UK call centre without any sucess, I found a chat app and got a pass for live their, only took a few little erm lies, told them it was a gift and I was using an HD7.

I'd suggest waiting til evening as they will give you their phone number, then say you will try when their pen, that's when they give you the pass code, it workd! Back on android now, I prefer it lol
