I think I don't speak english fluently to talk to a native speakers in USA. So... I'll just stick to Android. Thank you very much for all your help and for making WP7 activation possible for other HD2 users.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] :
Hi, I finaly got my activation code today!!! So I can download apps, Xbox is working as well but I have a few questions:

1) Is there a list of applications I downloaded? I means... If I bought an app from the marketplace and I would uninstall the app and then I would like to have the app again, do I have to buy it again?

2) If I would do the hard reset, do I have to write the activation code again or I need a new one? I've read that I can use one code only once in 30 days, does it mean that I would have to wait then 30 days then I could activate Live services again?

3) Before I set the Live services, I had installed the certificate. Then, there was written only HD7 in settings, but know there is written HD7 T9292, what should I do with it?

4) Today I wanted to charge the battery but after I had plugged my phone in, the LED diod on HD2 started blinking red and green, do you know what it means?

Thanks a lot..

Activation was painless for me. I phoned the US helpline from South Africa.

1. Free Skype call to 1-800-642-7676 in the US.

2. Selected Tech Support > Personal > Windows Live via the IVR. Transferred to non-US agent.

3. I explained where I was from, that I bought an HTC HD7 off ebay, and that WP7 requested an activation code to enable Windows Live services.

4. Agent requested my name, telephone number and email address.

5. She mentioned she'd _just_ spoken to a person from the US/Canada with the same issue. I informed her that MS South Africa referred me to the US number above, as did HTC. She asked me to stay on the line.

5. 1 minute later she returned, and informed me she's got the OK to generate an activation code for me, which she provided over the phone.

No IMEI request. With the dialogue above, I doubt there's any way MS can prosecute me. The HD2 does not have any designation on its casing. Some unscrupulous tosser could easily flog an HD2 as an HD7 on ebay, and many people would be none the wiser.

So my argument would be that I didn't realise it's not a REAL HD7. I'll happily keep the fact that it's something a whole lot more awesome to myself :D

Took me three times. so Hilight the file click the three ... at the bottom of the page and hit copy. go back to file tree and find windows folder and open it. dont hilight any sub folders. after its done opening the windows folder hit the three dots at the bottom and select paste. Close out and go to your setting and look for about phone. You should see it changed. If it still saying LEO70 it didnt work and you need to do this again. You dont have to reflash the rom to try again. Once you see that it no longer says LEO70 your market will work.

Yup. However, I don't see XBMODDeployer having any other function than to copy a generic .provxml file to My Ringtones. Surely it can be updated to rather copy the file to ./Windows. Or otherwise, the file can be emailed like the .cer file as part of the activation process.

Market Download Error

I assume you already activated the phone, now you are trying to install some apps from market place and its failing. Is that it?

First make sure you have your LIVE account pointing to correct country (in my case US).

Next you will need to modify registry entries.

Check it here.

http://www.ithinkdiff.com/live-services-full-working-htc-hd2-running-windows-phone-7-wp7-rom/

To modify registry you will need ProvXml deployer and correct provxml.

Check here for provxml deployer

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=907169

I have attached the my CustClear.provxml along with ProvXml deployer with post. You can use that, it has lots of useful entries though which I copied from this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=907971

The way you update registry on phone is run provxml deployer (assuming u have already unlocked the phone, installed the certificate and had Zune running in background with Admin rights and had phone connected to PC), it will change the screen on phone to deploy custclear.provxml. Hit green button and you are done. Reboot the phone and try downloading/installing apps now.

Hope this will work for u. All the best.

Thanks

I don't know if I just got lucky or what but "everything" worked out for me per instructions. My wp7 is running very fast, I got the activation code without any problem (gave it to me over the phone and all they ask me was my name and email address. Didn't even ask me which phone I had. I just told them I had an HTC windows phone) Everything is working flawlessly thus far. I register with xbox and downloaded several appz from the market.

When I get Android installed on my sd card I will be all set. I personally like wp7 better than Android but there just aren't as many cool and useful appz yet, which is the only reason I'm installing Android on the sd. That and the fact that I can : - ) lol

Getting the Activation code was a breeze and I told them the truth. " I have an HTC Windows phone".
