[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] CRACING:
Hey guys,

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. :p

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.

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.

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...

Best Regards

LOL!

Microsoft called me back "apparently I misspelled your email address sir, do you have a pen and paper so I can give you the activation key?"

This is plain awesome...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Inquisitor5:
Likely you won't need another activation code, however it was quoted earlier in this thread that Chevron has reported MS is laying the hammer on the unlocker with the next update. So hopefully a solution will be found promptly.

Now if I can get the unlocker to work in the first place.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] cobhc:

Stop sending me PM's in regards to calling for a key.

Since I called the local helpdesk here, speaking not the native language, they won't buy it, me asking for another key with other credentials.

Go to xbox.com and login using your hotmail id. Luck if it doesn't exists. if it exists, see which region it has logged into in address bar. i.e live.xbox.com/en-US/

There are few settings about change region and location.

1. http://live.xbox.com/en-US/MyXbox/GamerProfile

2. https://live.xbox.com/en-US/BillingMigration/SelectRegion

3. https://live.xbox.com/en-US/Account/BillingAccountInformation

See if it makes any difference in your market place by changing the above things on pc. :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ceesheim:
@ hyellow .

1. Download tool kit from first post

2. lnstall toms xap deployer and deploy XBMODDeployer.xap. This extracts the provxml into /My Documents/My Ringtones/.

3. deploy TouchXplorer (from the toolkit) 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. deploy HTC Connection Setup from the toolkit) 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.
