[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Blubster:
Just so you know, i can confirm that my girlfriends' Mozart has the same issues that our hd2s. Unable to download apps...

The issue is global, they are not tracking us down (yet! ^^)...

I am ordering a new sd card to see if the VEEEERY slow install time is due to my buggy one.

I ordered a "supported" sandisk, one that was actually marketed as compatible with Samsung Focus, i should be in the clear! :)

I am very happy with how WP7 behaves so far (except the battery, which is killed in about half the time it took to kill it with android), and having Marketplace support is like sugar on the cake!

I got my code yesterday morning, they asked the manufacturer of my phone, my name, email address and phone number. I didn't lie at any moment. I said i needed an activation code for my htc device, they didn't ask more! :)

Anyway, this looks to be the THIRD life my HD2 has had, which is above wonderfull. The very BEST device ever.

Lots of Kudos to every one who contributed to this! :D

When you open Touchxplorer on your phone. you can browse trough your folders. search the folder "my documents" and then "my ringtones" from there copy the file to the "windows" folder. opening that folder will take a while.

I think that I remember that Da_G was working on a kitchen for WP7. I remember that he released some tools for WP7, I am gonna go back to some of his threads and see if I can find something from him. I unzipped the Data file form DFT WP7 Rom and there are 5 .bin files. I am sure that one of those files has the registry files inside. I am going to try just to dump the .bin files and see if I can do anything with them. Do you know if he has been working on a kitchen? I have not seen any activity from Da_G in a while. Maybe you have talked to him?

Do you know how Cotulla and the DFT were able to make the phone model say LEO70 and insert their DFT logo as the lock screen? Maybe they already know how to edit the registry. Can anyone from the DFT please confirm if the registry can be edited before flashing?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] CRACING:
Part04.bin is the OS. Rename it to nb and read the file using HTC ROM Image Editor. However, its just for reading but you cannot modify it.

Sad to know that, Da_G has lost his data due to corruption of his 2TB HDD. He tried to recover but not much luck. :(

So I think he don't have the source of the tools which he had made. he has the wonderful knowledge and we hope he can recover back. Wish him best of luck. :)

By dumping the ROM we can :

1. Pre-Unlock

2. Enable installation of XAP

3. Change the device code to HTC HD7
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] kiloah:
i think ur a bit behind lol, u can already edit the registry with the registry editor XAP

i already did some tweaks with it and made my phone an HD7, so now the market has HTC apps and everythinig :)

dont askme how though please because i ruined my unlock(dont care because i got a code and the effects stayed) and really forgot how i did it :p

EDIT: did you mean for the kitchen? because if you did sorry about the misunderstanding :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Novembre5:
What I am trying to do is edit the registry from the dump of the WP7 rom. By doing this we will not have to unlock our phone with ChevronWP7 to edit the registry. The registry will already say that our phone is an HTC HD7. Many people are having issues with ChevronWP7 and I understand that with the new update Microsoft is going to block ChevronWP7 unlocking tool.

i had it up and running perfectly then it stopped working for no reason so I just gave up on it.

But I dont mind because my phone is already turned into an HD7 via registry tweak.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Novembre5:
Do you think it is possible to unpack Part04.bin, replace the registry file, and then repack? I am going to search for a tool to unpack .bin files. I notices that the DFT was able to edit the Logo file and some how add their logo. So the tools must exist?

I don't understand why some people are finding it difficult to activate it.

- I called MS support, asked to talk to representitive

- He did not ask for ANY INFORMATION

- Just gave me the code

- All the letters are in lowercase

- Type the on your computer in case you need to use it again (do not share it though)

BTW, how is everyone's luck with the hd2's 16gb micro sd card? mine is causing it to restart and lose data... have to power cycle every time to get them back.... I would love a 32gb

I may be mistaken but you guys could not use a Voip program to make a call to the US support desk and request a code? Even if your English is broken they would still be albe to assist since you can just say your a student traveling abroad no? If you need a legit US address just search google maps for something in any state/town. Here use this area Tampa Florida 33607 and you can pull any address from the map and use that with a bogus phone number. Not sure if this helps but figured I would try an out of box solution.

What should I do with my new activation code after I’ve entered it?

If you ever have to reset your phone back to factory settings, you’ll see the Activation Required screen again when you attempt sign in. You can use your new activation code on your phone again – so you should keep it in a safe place.

So i dont think that the activation code will expire or anything like that
