Just a silly question, where do you exactly activate the phone? In what setting/software? I only tried it upon connecting to the market :) Maybe that's where i went wrong?

yes it is.. first i got a message that there was no market av for my country.

I created a UK!!! live id... changed the location settings on my pc (else zune wont accept your id, restart afterwards).. then logged in to zune with my new account.

Then i resetted my phone (settings/about/reset).. Installed the phone (uk country setting) and followed the steps from post #1 in that excact order.

creating a UK id is important username@live.co.uk

Works for me.. hopefully it does for u :)

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Johnsel:
Awesome, I think i'm (one of) the first dutch people that tried and got a key yesterday (page 6). I chose something like "technische ondersteuning" and "particulier" in the menu. Since the calls can be recorded make sure you don't tell them any lies. Just ask for a code to activate WP7 because your phone told you to.

I used the PVK on 2 live accounts btw (install, activate, crap i used a dutch account, hard-reset, activate, create new account, hurray) and it still works, so i'm presuming you can use unlimited activations on 1 live account and change account max 3 times before you need a new code.

Create an US account through the phone! Worked for me!

LOL, its not like that. I haven't made those apps either. I just packed into one.

There is something with unlocker that we aren't understand. Sometimes it works and some it doesn't.

I have found few more points for device not being detected.

1. Disconnect the internet and don't connect until unlocked.

2. Fully turn off antivirus and firewall (both).

3. When you connect the device, make sure tiles are in front and not lockscreen.

4. Also make sure, zune starts itself when the device is connected.

5. Be tapping few times on unlock button. Not single time and leave it.

6. Make a soft reboot, both pc and phone if the connection problem persists.

Hope it helps. Until the real developer of the unlocker says whats wrong with the connection. :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Johnsel:
Well in my case it was Skype that decided to use the same port as Chevron (80 or 443, not sure). So if you're running that or a local webserver for testing that will most probably be the issue.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ceesheim:
they abandoned it , the original dev unlocker is the same **** :)

killing all the netwerk connections can help allot (the app is some sort of webserver faking the servers from ms)

killing skype also works (if skype run's the app don't work )
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] HannoSLM:

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] oc_masta:
JUST DONE IT!!

Have HTC apps in marketplace now and marketplace downloads work now!

Love this community!

just incase anyone needs some quick pointers:

-Sent the Chevronwp7 certificate to my email which i opened up on HD2 via wi-fi connection and installed that first off.

-To unlock your device with ChevronWP7 succesfully, i had to ACTIVATE WITH PVK CODE FIRST, by getting the code from microsoft and applying it when trying to download something from marketplace and came up asking for it.

intially had error popups when trying to unlock but activating first sorted it.

-Then installed the xap files with tomxapinstaller, by dragging the .xap onto tomxapinstaller which comes up with the xap program details and installs onto the device. installed one by one and run through setup for each on HD2.

make sure you copy the file that gets put in my documents/my ringtones on your hd2 into the windows/ folder on your hd2. MAY NEED TO UNLOCK AGAIN if error pops up.

thats it!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] KrewsialNL:

"""The WHY according to Microsoft :

To receive a Windows Phone 7 activation code, you will need to contact Microsoft Customer Service. If you are in the U.S. you can call 1-800-MICROSOFT.

For rest of the world get you local contact number : www.microsoft.com/worldwide

If you are in Australia you can call : 13 20 58

You will have to talk to 2 different department ( took about 20 minutes in total for me , YMMV ). Basically they take your Live ID and generate the activation code for you which is in the format xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx , put that in and all is well. So if any of you run in to this bloody thing , you know what to do and wouldn’t have to pull your hair out like me. """

I called the Australian support number 13 20 58, explained that I had just go a new WP7 phone and I was unable to use the LIVE features, and that the phone was asking for an activation code!

I was then put through to the department that handles the Activation code generation. The support rep was happy to generate a code for both me and my partner so that I did not have to call back, as I said that we both got new phones, and I was responsible for setting them both up :)

I was only asked what brand the phone was, answer = HTC, I was not asked for the model.

Good luck.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sibeer:
All you people asking for the key, it is a individual code like any other MS product key. As such people don't really want to share them.

Given they are freely available you are far better getting your own. This takes time, effort and costs money to call (in the UK at least)

What the hell is wrong with all the senior members out there. Can't you help out brother members who are unable to call/contact MS due to their bloody support services in other parts of the world. What is it to brag about in getting a key from MS and putting others in sheer disappointment.

For God sakes, show some courtesy and help them out. What do you assume all the members are from US or UK?? What about other parts of the world..Asia, Africa, Middle East.

Whats wrong in talking to MS on our behalf and getting a Key for us?? Can't you people take 15 min out from your busy schedule in helping others.

Hi all,

I just called MS Support in my country (Croatia), and asked for activation key, and they asked me to send them the picture of the phone with removed battery so they could see the serial numbers to verify what's going on.
