To ANYONE who cannot install applications:

YOU MUST INSTALL THE REGISTRY HACK TO MAKE YOUR DEVICE APPEAR AS HD7!

If you do not do this step, then when the market place checks your phone for model number and compatibility it does not work!

I have done the steps to make my phone appear as HD7 and market apps installing no problems. (I have only tried a few free games)

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Downy:
As we know from several threads, activation is only possible three times. I'm asking myself if this is related to different phones to activate or if every fresh installation /maybe due to flash of android in the meanwhile) I will loose an attempt.

So does anybody know how this is handled? Is it maybe a combination of live account and for example IMEI of the phone so that we can flash the rom without having to have an eye on the attempts as long as it stays the same phone, same IMEI.

Or will every time I reflashed the rom and try to activate the live account get me -1 attempts.

Perhaps someone can bring some light into this thing... thanks in every case :)

Serious Question

It’s actually very interesting to study Microsoft’s reactions people report after they called ms.

When this opportunity came up ms had no clue and gave the codes to just everyone who called.

A few hours later or a day later some call-center’s stopped to give us keys. I don’t know if they had a clue what was going on and why so many People were calling them but I don’t think they realized it.

People don’t stopped calling and some reported another day later that they got codes being honest and telling them that they have an HD2 or giving them their HD2 IMEI.

So I wonder:

Is Microsoft silently giving these keys to us knowing that there are thousands of HD2 users out there, calling them for the keys from all over the World???

I think Microsoft realized that they couldn’t really stop us without an major update or without annoying real HD7 owners with stupid questions.

It’s also funny that we don’t hear any official WP7 news from Cotulla and the DFT here in the forums.

Well I flashed this a few times yesterday & did the 'confirmation' steps easy, but now I just flashed it & the phone WILL NOT UNLOCK.

Chevron says its unlocked BUT NO XAP will install with an error of not unlocked.

I think m$ have done this to my phone or am I being paranoid.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Callumpy:
Agreed, I rang up earlier and said I need an activation for my HD2 on Widows phone 7, he took my IMEI and my Windows Live ID, then gave me the code. I did have to ring back once because I thought he said 'b' but he actually said 'p'. But it worked once I had the right code. Really nice support, when I rang back I got the same guy which was helpful.

I rang the UK number, Option 0 (Windows Phone 7 Help) and then option 4 (Windows phone 7 OS Help) ;)

I'm having issues with the ChevronWP7.exe

I keep getting the message that others have been getting:

"Sorry, I'm having trouble communicating with the device...."

I've done everything listed (installed the cert, connected to zune, disabled firewall, skype, etc., )

The only thing left is I think I have an older version of the WP7 SDK, so I'm reinstalling and hoping that solves my issue. I was really hoping to have everything up and running by now. I've been at it for over 4 hours so far and the SDK is taking forever to install/download. I'll update on my results when the SDK is done ...

Found a fix for chevron issues, this worked for me:

3. Wait till zune starts and sync completes

4. Verify that zune is not in a guest relationship

5. open a command prompt, type netstat -a to confirm that port 443 is not being used

6. navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ then opem hosts with notepad and delete any references to windowsphone developer services

7. go to the settings on the phone and turn airplane mode on (so that the phone is forced to use internet via zune)

8. While the phone is still on the settings page, run Chevron with admin privileges

Attention: if port 443 is used (see on your list) stop IIS or exit Skype program

EDIT: also make sure screen lock is off, not locked on PIN number etc.

I called MS USa and they asked me for my phone number, name, email

So I told them i'm in Vietnam and don't have a U.S phone number, next they provided me the number of MS Vietnam. I called, and they kept asking me my HD7's imei (lolz while i have a HD2)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Hamburg:
THanks. but I did that too. Also edited the Hosts file, turned on airplane mode, selected to run chevronwp7 in compatibility mode (and without), and everything else that's been advised :(

I'm pretty certain that I was thorough in reading the posts. I really think this SDK is the issue because I had the RC version from before WP7 was officially released. (ugh... 55 of 359 mb downloaded so far.... this is WAAAAY too slow)

Can anyone tell me how i can delete info onmy micro sd card. I have runout of space and i dont think i have anything on it
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Hamburg:
When you flash WP7, keep your SD card in the device and it formats it automatically.

If you've done that, try restarting the device, because I had an issue where it stopped recognizing it, and I just did a soft reset and it worked.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Johnnyboy21:

I have been using WP7 on my HD2 for a couple of days now, and the volume is starting to annoy me.. :(

the volume scales from 1 to 30 clicks.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] falconnw:
For all those with the error :"cant get this information at the moment, please try a bit later" ,in marketplace, this is what you are missing, you need to put the CustClear.provxml in the windows folder and run htc connection setup. Atleast that's what worked for me. A good indicator that this has worked is ,when you connect your phone to the desktop,zune software should recognize it as a HTC T9292 and NOT LEO70. Hope this helps.

You must insert your SD card on the first time when WP7 starts On BUT you should know that Windows erase and format your card so you must SAVE ALL DATA BEFORE ! if you have not done that the WP7 would not reconize your card. OR:

Maybe your Sd card is not compatible with WP7..

Hi All,

I now have my HD2 running WP7 but not activated. The device identifies itself as an HTC HD7 T9292 so I tried ringing MS NZ Activation Centre and was given another number to call. I got passed from one call centre to another and after five attempts gave up.

I already have a fully functional HD7 and it appears that the criteria for obtaining an activation code is phone number, live ID and email address. This might mean that the activation code that works for my HD7 might work for my HD2. Does anybody know how to find the activation code on a working WP7 device ?

Cheers,
