Yup , just call there contact number in your country or even outside(Cheaper in the same :) ), and just tell them that you bought a WP7 like HTC HD7 or something ! and you cant get online unless you have that code and it was not provided ?!?!?!

give them a fake name and and e-mail and they will send it 2 you That is it !
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Dukan91:
Same problem but i fixed, just open a new live ID account, then change the account of the new xbox live to the new windows live ID, so your old Live account wont be linked to any live profile then you link it with your mail Xbox profile ins ted of your Yahoo !
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Nick14o:
It worked

Followed all the steps without problem, and called MS US via skype because I didn't wanted until tomorrow, said that I recieved the phone for cristmas, acted like a total noob and gave him a phone number from a sim card that I had when I was in the US for holidays. No problem he was a bit surprised when I gave him my Swiss e-mail adress but it wasn't a problem.

Thank's XDA

Question!

Guys, I have one question regarding obtaining the code from Microsoft. I bought my HD2 a while ago from US. Now I'm in Macedonia, but I can call them myself, or ask a friend back in US to call them for me. Do they need to know something about my phone (IMEI or serial number) or is it an activation code not generated by individual data? Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Nick14o:
No, it seems that the code is completely random. I called from Switzerland via Skype completely free and he only asked me for an e-mail adress, my name and a US phone number (the US phone number wasn't very useful for them because he gave me the code without calling it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] XFarellX:
I have a request. I live in contry which is no supported in Windows Live so, when i'm calling to ms, they tell me "sorry, we can't help you". So my question is: is there somebody here who can call to ms to get code for me ? If IMEI is requied i can send it on priv. Somebody can help me ? please :)

P.S I havent PayPall but i can make a small cash transfer ;:):):):) please help :o

Hey guys , is anyone experiencing massive battery drainage ? My battery is getting drained really fast when comparing it to when I had WinMo .. My battery is the stock battery , didn't get any other . Can anyone help ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] map1989:
Yeah I had the same problem here is the fix open touchXplorer go to DOCUMENTS then RINGTONES then click on the file then... on the right bottom side of the screen click on the dots.... And select COPY once you done that go back to touchXplorer main screen and this time click on WINDOWS (takes a while to open) once is open click on the same dots... And select PASTE this time then exit touchXplorer and open connection setup the XDA file that you supposed to deployed earlier and follow instructions that's it .... Open market again and try...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] map1989:
Well usually this is because your data is running automatically so what I recommend to you is that you set up all your email ( hotmail, yahoo, etc.... ) to sync manually only when you open them.. So they don't sync by themselves and also the light set it to medium otherwise high would just kill more energy... Hope it helps
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] antaed:
UPDATE for those of you who are experiencing the same issue as described above (see striked text):

I did it, I can finally download from Marketplace :D. The issue appears to have been related to my Windows Live account, so:

- If you have created a new account, make sure you don't forget to confirm your e-mail address! :)

- If your account is already confirmed, make sure your location is set in an area where Marketplace is available (I used United States) - check Windows Live Settings!

Good Luck!

When i wanna play it it just takes me back to the home screen. Can anyone help me please. Ive already tired restarting, hard resetting, and reinstalling the whole rom. Its not working. I think im the only one with this problem -_- im frustrated so much. Has anyone else had this happen to their rom?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] krugm0f0:
Crap!

I have unlocked the phone, but I fail on install the xap's. The "Application Deployment" program gives an error on deploying XBMODDeployer.xap. Or any other .xap-file.

"Error - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."

Any idea? Running as Admin, phone on.. I can deploy apps to the Emulator.

Same with Tom's XAP installer, can't deploy programs!

Any input would be appreciated!

Re-installed the Windows Development Tools. Works like a charm now :D

On the phone with MS Helpdesk Australia, as they were the only English speaking helpdesk available at this time of the day.

She asked for my name, my phone number (gave them my own number, no problem) and my e-mail.

She put me on hold for a bit, and came back with a code.

2. Extract the contents of the setup package by running vm_web.exe /x and choosing a path to extract to

3. Go to the folder you extracted to in step 2 and open the file baseline.dat in notepad

4. Look for the section named [gencomp7788]

5. Change the value InstallOnLHS from 1 to 0

6. Change the value InstallOnWinXP from 1 to 0

7. Save and close baseline.dat

8. Run setup.exe /web from the folder you extracted to in step 2
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zotek:
please help im stock on part

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.

where can i find my ringtone?? in my pc?? i look for it but i cant find it under /my doc/

help..

thank you
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hyellow:
the folder ringtones is on your phone. with touchXplorer you can go to that folder on your phone. TouchXplorer must be isntalled on your phone.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] papoble:
Hi for me everything`s O.K. and working except activation code. I have one from microsoft call center, but i have 24`s code and phone needs 25, so i don`t know if the problem is they gave me incorrect one or i`ve done something wrong...

Help please.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] daevoq:
guys.. i've followed tutorial step by step.. but by TouchXplorer can't find nothing in my ringtones folder.. can help me?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Nick14o:
Yes because you called the swiss support. I called the US number wich is 100% free and wich gives out codes for ****ries wich have no WP7 support+it chalenged my english.

@daevoq run XBMOD first
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] abhavananda:
It's a subfolder of My Documents. Once you deploy XBMODDeployer CustClear.provxml will be copied there.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] :
In wp7, you have to click the XBMOD.FILES to create the file. Then go browse for the file. BazGee forgot to add that part to the tutorial.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] abhavananda:
No. I've installed WP7 twice. When you deploy XBMODDeployer via Tom XAP installer, the file is created automatically. For me at least. Twice :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] :
And I've installed it 4 times on 2 different phones with 3 different memory cards. Maybe for people it's different.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] abhavananda:
That's very possible. I'm just saying BazGee didn't necessarily leave out any steps. Perhaps your solution should be added to post 1 to eliminate this as a possible failure :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] :

chevron cert installed on phone

chevron unlocker on pc

phone is now unlocked but registers as LEO70

wp7 sdk's app deployment tool to deploy xbmoddeployer.xap and touchxplorer.xap and connection setup.xap to the phone

on phone in app list at bottom run xbmoddeployer

using touchxplorer browse to /my docs/my rings and move custclear,provxml to /windows/

in app list run connection setup.

phone should now report as a hd7 in zune and market will work.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zkid2010:
make sure the screen isnt locked/sleeping when you try to deploy stuff to the phone.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zkid2010:
Have you run the Connection manager you were supposed to deploy to the phone and let it setup your sim data info?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Ultramilkwai:
Hi, I'm curious as to how did you make this work? I followed your instructions precisely and I still ended up having LEO70 as the model.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargeting Info]

"OemName"="HTC"

"MODeviceName"="HD7 T9292"

"OEMDeviceName"="Schubert"

these are the lines that will change it to be a HD7 correct?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] fusion06:
I followed the directions and did get my phone to say WP7 instead of LEO70 but when i went to the market to download something,it wouldn't let me. so i went into settings again and somehow my phone switched itself back to LEO70.. :confused:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] ceekay1:
I've managed to deploy everything else including touch explorer and xmod but just to deploy connection setup the application deploy won't let me. It keeps saying make sure my phone is booted and connected. It just deployed the other two just now with the phone the way it is now.

Anyone had this problem or know a solution?

Chevron unlocker

yeeeeeeeahhhh, the chevron unlocker must be the most inconsistent piece of software if have ever tried using. I went from getting the "uh oh" error right off the bat, to completing all the steps and still having my phone say it's a leo70. so i repeated the process and chevron gives me "uh oh " when i press unlock and now it says "uh oh" when i try to even open it. all of this within 30 minutes time. what the hell man....what the hell....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] homer.web:

when you connect your device to zune, sometimes Zune removes the lock. So you must unlock it again.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] lhernana2j:
I have no rpoblem connecting to Zune. How would I unlock it. Also it won't dl apps from market. If I can not resolve this can I go back to a Custom ROM and then install Magldr and WP7 again? Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] jonas2295:
just say u are from another country..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] lhernana2j:
Quick question. I did this before but not as thoroughly as you describe here. I can not dl apps although my windows live services is working fine. Always tells me to come back later.Should I flash a ROM then reinstall WP7 and start from scratch or go through all these steps on top of the first install? Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] cxjon:
the windows development tool is telling me i need 7 or vista...... i have xp sp3
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] rgencarn:
Well. I have to say that WP7 on the HD2 (TMO) is impressive. I had my doubts but I am liking the speed and the format over 6.5.

I had trouble at first trying to get magldr installed but I found another post that called for installing HSPL 2.08 first. Once that went through, everything else was cake. Had WP7 installed and running in less that 15 minutes. So far, no reboots and it's been running great for 4 days now. A call to Microsoft's Tech Support for the Live activation was simple. As other ppl have said, you call them with your phone number, email address and name and they will give you the code. Just tell them you have a new HD7 phone and it's asking for the activation code.

For those of you that are having problems, read as many posts as possible before trying. I used a Windows 7 PC to install. A friend of mine tried on an XP SP3 machine and he wasn't able to complete the process (TouchXplorer, Chevron, etc). The SD card I have was the one that came with my HD2 last year, a Sandisk 16GB class 2 card. The upgrade will reformat it so if you want to save your stuff, go buy another one.

Other than that, I haven't been able to keep the phone "unlocked". So I keep loosing TouchXplorer. But you don't really need it for normal day-to-day use.

So Im still having the chevron error, where it cant communicate with my phone. No port 433 issues, I checked that. Ive followed every step up til now as close as you possibly can. At first I had the 2.10.50.26 radio and I thought that might be the problem so I flashed back to WinMo, flashed the 2.15.50.14 radio, then flashed back through magldr112 and into WP7 again. No problems again up until chevron. Ive been seeing that its supposed to be a problem with the date/time, but mine are exactly right. My Hosts file is not on read only. Tried compatibility mode in xp, running without firewall/antivirus/wifi, all that stuff. I cant think of anything. Can anyone help? Its kinda annoying to not be able to do half the stuff I should be able to do because I cant activate it.

NOTHING!

Their systems are down and the tools that generate the product keys, are down! ARRRGH! I guess I will have to just sync some pre-downloaded music from Zune and wait this thing out! :(
