So I finished up everything in the tutorial and I then had new HTC section available in marketplace along with MMS finally working!

Then suddenly marketplace gives me error not being available in my country/region. How do you bypass this exactly? Just create an additional live account with home address USA or maybe some way to change my existing live account? Just the easiest way possible..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] homer.web:
There is a way to change the country of your existing live id account, but you are allowed to do it only once a year. So if you do it, and in the near future the marketplace would be introduced in your country, you will not be abble to swich it back. Also, if you do not have a valid credit card issued in US, UK, Germany or in any other of the 20 countries where the marketplace is available, you would not be abble to buy apps anyway. Also consider it, if you have used your existing live id with the xbox, than you could screw it up completly. So I would suggest not to mess up your existing account and create the new one. The only downside of this is, that you have to hard reset your phone, which means, that you will have to use your activation code again.

I have setup the Zune userid and got the activation code from Microsft UK. Activation went thru ok.

However, When I try to install the application from the Marketplace I get the following message:

" Can't get this information at the moment. Check again in a little while"

Tried this restting my phone multiple times and using different Live and Hotmail userids associated with Zune. Raised a ticket with Microsoft and the case worker escated the issue and Support at microsoft says it could be a hardware related issue and not the activation issue.

Can someone help me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Same problem here.

I've been using both an American mail, and now my swedish and I get the same error. I activate my Live ID properly but everytime I try download from market I get the sign with "It's unavailable right now"

Is this problem caused by the Chevron?? Or is it just something I've missed?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] homer.web:
Same as I mentioned above. If your live id country is set to sweden, and your phone was registered with that id and the marketplace is not available in your country yet, you will get this sign.

hey guys had the same prob then reliased i had forgotten this step.

7. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone and run XBMODDeployer.xap);

8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);

9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;

Did that then all good

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] homer.web:
On which country is your live id set up? If it's a country, where the marketplace is not introduced yet, than you will not be abble to download even the free applications.

You have to:

- change the country of your live id

OR

- create a new one and set the country as US. Than register phone to this new id (you will have to do a hard reset of the phone and use the activation key again)

Double check in phone->Settings->About

Repeat the steps that allow you to copy the xml files onto the phone and then use TOUCHEXPLORER to MOVE the XML

Once you have repeated and rebooted (soft, you don't need to hard) then confirm what it says in the settings->About

The number at the Swedish wp7 site redirects to us support and they don't give me a code because I'm in Sweden. I even mailed the support, and they don't give me one because I'm in Sweden...

Succes with e-mail !!!

Scanning through these last posts I had an idea. I also did not want to make a phone call to the helpdesk so I used Google to find all MS support with an e-mail address as contact (like Lebanon). I found these 3 other countries:

- Moldova (rouinfo@microsoft.com)

- Switzerland (custserv@microsoft.com)

- South Africa (mssatalk@microsoft.com)

I emailed Switserland & South Africa to ask for an activation code. E-mail was like this:

#########################

Good day,

Via eBay I bought a German HD7 Windows mobile 7 phone. The only thing that it was missing was an activation-code for the phone so I can use my live-account and Marketplace.

Could you please provide me with an acivationcode ??

Regards,

Name

Address

Mobile Phone Number

########################

I made sure that I used a Swiss or South African name. Also I found the mobile-prefixes for Switserland and South Africa and length of the phone-number not to draw to much attention:

Switserland: +41 79 xxx xxxx

South Africa: +27 72 xxx xxxx

Results:

Switserland --> emailed yesterday around 20:00 --> no reply

South Africa --> emailed this morning around 07:30

---> Conformation e-mail at 7:42

---> activation code at 11:42 !!!!

Hope you guys can benefit from this !!

I tried on XP, Vista and W7. Only system that worked was W7. I tried dozens of methods to accomplish this...was very frustrating!

Most important things to remember, that I have noticed is to have any anti virus turned off or disabled

Install WP7 dev tools FIRST! Then install Zune then make partnership! (WP7 dev tools creates the reg tweak for you)

Make sure port 433 is not in use (aka skype)

I'm not sure about the date change, (change phone and PC to 10/01/11) but it was active when mine worked

Make sure to run as admin (Chevron)

I opened up task and device managers to view what processes were occurring (there is also another tool included in some of the packages that will allow you to get a deeper view of the processes)

Keep restarting and retrying...don't give up so easily!

I have just completed all the steps given in the 1st post, called Microsoft UK on 0844 800 2400 then option 2 and then option 7. Got straight through and asked for activation code for a windows 7 phone and she asked me for my name, email address and that was it, she gave me the code straight away. No questions on phone make or address IMEI or anything like that. Very easy to obtain code for free. Can now access Live services OK

One little info when you get an " Can't get this information at the moment. Check again in a little while" error:

Where is that Chevron file located?

Cant find it
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Improve:
You are so right, I tried unlocking with Chevron on XP on 2 PC's. I even installed WP7 dev tools on both and tried WPConnect.exe as well. Finally after 5 days of trying every single hack, mod, and tweak out there I broke down and upgrade to Windows 7. FIRST TRY GO! I mean I feel like I exhausted every possibility on XP besides actually hacking further on running WP DevTools on XP. All I did was upgrade and follow the most BASIC steps here and it unlocked on the first try. Do yourself a favor if you really want this and especially if you want to develop for the platform and upgrade to Windows7.
