Hi there friends,

I have called Microsoft this afternoon for an activation code, which I got 30 minutes later in the e-mail.

My question is: The code is written in the subject line (16 letters and numbers) but no other message or attachment. Is that correct? There was talk about a certificate.

Thanks in advance.

hello,

i were trying to get my activation code for windows 7, but they didnt want to give me one saying i should be at HTC

could someone please share an activation code with me?

1. You are asking people to break the law on your behalf.

2. You are asking people to pay to phone MS for you.

3. There are LOTS of people asking for codes.

4. You CAN do it yourself pretty easily, just call the US or UK number yourself. If you want to save international bills install one of the thousands of IP Phone offerings.

Stop being lazy and rude and take 15 minutes out your own busy schedule. Lots of people have worked really hard to produce the working ROM and come up with a Live solution. I am sure people are still working hard to package this and come up with a way of avoiding the call to MS. A keygen is pretty unlikely though as we don't have one for Windows or Office.

No reason why you need to speak fluent English to prove you are in the UK. We have a high migrant population, lots of people don't speak anywhere near perfect English, even those born and bred.

I can verify that Chevron runs just fine on Windows 7 X64.

Here is what I did;

A) Download and mail yourself the cert.

B) Install that cert on the phone.

C) Connect your phone and make sure it shows up in Zune. In my case it asked me to "setup my phone" in Zune, where I named it and such. My Zune was not signed into any sort of account (though I don't know that it makes any difference.)

D) Make sure your phone is on and awake, and on the home screen.

E) Run Chevron, and make sure you're running it as an Administrator.

F) After Chevron loads, which it should, check both boxes and then unlock...

G) In my case, I got a "protected by PIN" error. Even though I wasn't using a pin, I had to go set one on the phone. Lock and unlock the phone. Reconnect it to Zune. Relaunch Chevron. Then it worked fine.

Don't know if that helps anyone or not - but good luck.

Stuck with the exact same situation and have been killing me since last night.. unable to get any proper fix for this...pls help...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ceesheim:
kill network connection , skype , firewall ,etz

first sync phone with zune (as owner , NOT GUEST)

go to the tile screen on the phone .

run unlocker and look that the phone stays on the tile screen (not the lock screen)

edit:

look at this to :

Finally I was able to solve all the issues and get the working market place. Installed a free app already.

There are three major issues all are facing:

1. Getting activation code.

2. Device not being detected by ChevronWP7

3. Market place gives error while trying to install free apps.

But I have successfully passed all these things and got everything working.

A1. See if you find any friends in USA or UK and get the activation codes for you. I hope a key generator will be released soon.

A2. Its due to time and date not be set correctly in device. If you have crashing issue, Make sure hosts file in windows/system32/drivers/ext isn't readonly.

Time settings has to be like this: 14.01.2011

A3. I don't why ppl had this issue but for me it worked directly when I tried to install. First it configured xbox or gamer id and then installed the app.

B3 If it isn't working try to make a new live account and use USA as location.

Here is the kit I have made for activating WP7 on HD2. Make sure you have to activation code already and follow the read me file present in the kit.

Wish and hope you all get it working.

Thanks...

Honestly? I'm not too worried. Microsoft obviously doesn't have the serial numbers for HD7 phones on file - otherwise they'd ask you for them before giving you a code. Which is probably why they're sending everyone to HTC now...

If you already got a code, awesome. So what? MS will just cut off giving out new codes and I imagine cut their losses on the already issued ones. It isn't a big deal. I honestly think nothing will happen.

Worst case scenario, MS deactivates your key somehow. If they can tell it is on an HD2, that is.

If they ever tried to sue you (which won't happen) just say you bought your HD2 on Craigslist from someone who had put Windows Phone 7 on it. Say you tried to use the marketplace and it didn't work - so you called and got a code. :P

A lot of people seem to worry, but honestly, it's Microsoft's own fault for giving out the keys so easily. I don't think they're going to go after people over it. Waste of time, for a very very tiny group of people.
