Before we begin make sure you have Magldr 1.12 and your WP7 ROM installed.​

Tools needed on PC before continuing:

1. Windows Development Tools - CLICK HERE

2. Zune PC App - CLICK HERE

Windows Development tools will take some time to download and install so be patient!

Now that you have all the tools ready to go on PC and your HD2 on WP7 its now time for the fun part!​

1. Download Chevron - CLICK HERE

2. Put ChevronWP7.exe in root of your C:/ drive

3. Download chevronwp7.cer - CLICK HERE

4. Attach chevronwp7.cer to your email and send to yourself. - Open up the email on your HD2 (I used google mail) and click the attachment once will turn into shield, Click attachment again to goto install screen and click install.

5. Now on your PC plug phone into USB and run Zune. (run as administator) ChevronWP7 in C:/ drive. - tick both boxes and click unlock. Now exit.

Now you have your phone unlocked and ready to move onto the registry editing.​

1. Download XBMOD Deployer - CLICK HERE

2. In your Windows Development tools you installed earlier there should be an application called "Application Deployment". Connect your phone and open the program and install XBMODDeployer.xap. This extracts the provxml into /My Documents/My Ringtones/.

3. Download TouchXplorer - CLICK HERE - and install this .xap the same way as step 2.

4. Using TouchXplorer copy the file in /My Documents/My Ringtones/ to /Windows/ , overwrite if asked. - Give it time to open the Windows folder it takes a while.

5. Download HTC Connection Setup - CLICK HERE - same as above deploy to phone.

6. Open HTC Connection Setup and setup your network.

7. If your camera setting are not showing, in settings region, change display language to: United States. - this shouldnt affect anything if you are in a different country. Im from UK

Now your phone is almost setup and ready to go. All you need to do now is contact microsoft for your activation code for your new HD7. Then just sign into live and enter activation code.​

Marketplace and LIVE service should all function fine now.

I hope this Tutorial was wasy for you to follow. Any problems I'll be happy to help.​

Thank you for the tutorial - One question though - I am in Asia - do i need to call MS as well or is there any other way for me to contact them to get the activation code?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] ceesheim:
you need to get yourself an activation code , so yes you need to call them or ask someone that has a code (you can use one code on 3 live accounts )

Im sure as of now the only way to contact them is via Phone.

I got WP7 running but when I get into camera settings the only thing that appears is the setting for flash. No other options like scenes. I can only record videos in 480p. Can someone confirm them having that issue, I may need to reflash the rom :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] bazgee:
Same for me! Im guessing there is no scenes! :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] ceesheim:
on a real wp7 phone you have :

Camera settings

Scenes

Efects

Resolution

metering mode

flicker adjustments

Restore

but I think that the hd2 wp7 rom has actually build number 6535 and not the 7004 you are reading in settings.

For some reason I cannot install Magldr 1.12 on my hd2 - it just sits at 0% and never moves. :(

It's currently using magldr 1.11 if that makes a difference. Apologies if I have overlooked something obvious but I've been going through tons of threads about wp7 so I may have missed something sorry.

Appreciate any suggestions how to fix this. Is there another process I must run prior to installing magldr 1.12 for instance?

Everything was working fine so, Put my 16gb card back in, went through the whole process again and can access marketplace, go to an app, (takes ages to come up install), press install and it just sits on confirm purchase with the dots going across the screen.

Have tried to get some aps using the Zune software but even that (when I've put my live account password in, shows cannot access the server

Did you try it on another computer? That is what solved my problem. Was running it from my main rig but couldn't determine what was blocking Chevron from access my phone to unlock it. So, I ran everything from my low power cheap Dell Mini 9 running Windows 7. Worked the first time.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] jetsetwilly:
Ok, I finally got mine to work.

I uninstalled almost everything from my pc - all microsoft stuff as well as Skype.

I also deleted the registry entry.

Then I reflashed my phone and followed the instructions on the first page verbatim. I didn't need to disable my wireless on my laptop.

Finally got round the USB issue and everything else I was struggling with. It's smooth as a native Windows phone but just doesn't hit the same sweet spot that Android and the app market fills. Back to Android? Not yet, maybe will dual boot to Android on SD but for now, beer. :)

Hey guys, I had the same problems as you guys, but when I unlocked the phone it worked. Power on the phone from standby and lift the lock screen to have it on the home screen. Worked like a charm. I hope it works for you guys too, currently calling microsoft to receive my activation key :].

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] antaed:
Thanks Bazgee for this great tutorial.

The good news is that I have succesfully completed all the steps on my 2nd attempt, including the activation.

The 1st attempt failed on my PC (Win 7 x32), but I've nailed it on my laptop (Win 7 x64) and I think I know what my mistake was the first time.

I did everything exactly the same except pasting the CustClear.provxml file to Windows folder.

In my 1st attempt I only highlighted the destination folder and hit Paste so the file didn't go into Windows. So the correct way is to OPEN the Windows folder, WAIT for the the content to load and only then, hit PASTE.

The bad news however, is that I cannot download anything from Marketplace despite the fact that:

- I have confirmation that the steps were succesful because the phone's name is HTC HD7 T9292 now (instead of LEO70);

- I have activated my Live account with the 25 digit key sent to me by MS;

- Region & Language are set on English (United States);

- Data connection works flawlessly both on 3G and WiFi.

Whenever I try to download a file I get this message:

"Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while."

I think this is happening because Marketplace is not available in my country yet and somehow my phone betrays its location.

I don't know what else to do, I guess this is it for now. I wanted to try this experiment only because I was very curious about all this WP7 thing but it was way beyond my expectations. So I'll be back... :)

Hi :D

I've done everything and it works perfectly ..

Only one thing : how can I get free apps now ?

What did Chevron actually do to my phone ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] antaed:
H is the symbol of HSDPA, which is an enhanced (better) 3G protocol (aka 3.5G).

So if you get H it means you also have 3G working.

I use 2.15 radio - see my signature.

Lol thanks one more question I have an 8gb memory in my phone however when I flashed the rom to my cell I had no sd card in it I put it after everything was done everything worked i downloaded some apps but after it says that i reached the maximum storage space so am thinking that the apps are installing directly to my phone so here is the question.... How do i make my apps save into my sd card??? can you help me please...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] map1989:
Easy I had the same issued lol... after you deployed the files to your phone the first one you have to do is open touchXplorer then go to my documents then to ringtones then select the file then on the right bottom side of your screen you'll see these little dots... Click on it the select copy and then go back to touchXplorer main screen then select windows and again click on the dots... Then select paste once this is done go to connection setup and open then follow instructions and that's it man you are ready to go.....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] map1989:
Chevron just unlock your phone to enable you to deploy those file touchXplorer, connection setup and the other one can't remember the name... Lol but it doesn't men it will let you download all apps for free.... If course there are some tho

Chevron connection problem

Also SSL and HTTPS use port 443 other than skype , so whoever has a running webserver like apache , iis or this kinda stuff , better switch it off.

and also check for the firewall rules that u didn't block chevron by mistake,

also i heard someone talking about the hosts file in

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

uncheck the readonly,

mmmmmmm

i hope this solves the problem for anyone , but try =/

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] samsamuel:
Blimey that took some doing. ended up reinstalling win7 on my pc from scratch (it had issues and was due it, so no biggie) and finally got it working.

a few key pointers

You have to run that app on your phone once its deployed, which isn't explicitly said, and i lost a good 20 minutes before i spotted it way down at the end of the apps list on the phone. If you dont run it, there will be no provxml file in /my doc/my ring/

Chevron - the phone relocked itself twice during the hour or so it took between first applying chevron and completing the final steps, causing deployment to fail, so you might need to run chevronwp7.exe again between steps and unlock it again if you get 'not developer unlocked'

Im also pretty sure this helped too

from THIS thread

because i forgot to do that, and it failed, but it was like the final piece in the jigsaw, as soon as i did that it all came together.

So, it works, i have a working valid activation code for live,, im happy now, i can go back to android and forget about wp7 :)
