We are having fun here, but I think we are actually helping Microsoft propagate this wonderful OS and become prevalent everywhere.... so my guess is they will never stop this process because businesswise it helps them spread the news... Once people see it or tried it they will be amazed and wallah.. " I want one ". What do yah think guys....lol

First off, I want to say thanks for putting this together. But I did have one question: would it be possible to put up a video tutorial? Your instructions are very clear, but I (like I'm sure many others) learn better visually. If someone could put together a video tutorial, I would really appreciate that.

im really impressed how windows phone 7 runs on my HD2... 10x smoother than any Android Phones out there.. big thx for all devs and all the people who made these step by step guides..

for the people who is having problems with chevromwp7.exe.. i had the same issues.. zune would sync and detect the phone... also installed the cert on the phone like 10 times.. but some reason when trying to unlock it was showing the cant find the phone message.. after trying SEVERAL times.. doing reboots both phone and computer.. pluging back in the usb.. and it finally worked.. i think i was having a problem with firewall and my network cards.. the last thing i did that fixed the problem.. i closed skype and disabled my network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. etc

im using windows 7 x64.. let me know if you guys need help with that..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ozin:
I've been up all day trying to get this to work. And finally I did. Just to help you guys out.

Just follow the steps above. Windows sdk may take a while to install, just hang on.

CLOSE EVERY RUNNING PROGRAM, while trying to run chevron and just try to restart zune or you phone if its not working on the first time. Dont forget to install the certificate on your phone first!!

Install the rest.

Call MS and ask for a code. - Remember you have a HD7 and HTC and your career sent you to MS. They'll put you on hold and give you a code

-- The next step was the part I got stuck. See your region and all on your phone has to be UNITED STATES, AND SO YOUR WINDOWS LIVE ACCOUNT YOU ARE TRYING TO ACTIVATE!!!! Just make a new email at hotmail.com and set the country to United States. And so everything will work flawless.

ps. i love the world. let me know if it works

When I download a app or game from market it take a long install time about 5~10 mins !

Is this the SD card issue ??
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ceesheim:
games can be as big as 300MB:eek: and that will take some time to install (but you are right wp7 isn't that good in quick installation )
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] extrapurifier:
Thank you so much. Now I know that the Originator had written CerT and meant Cer (without T) :)

No it isnt. A Cer File is attached and that one letter makes a difference for a non 16-hours a day PC Kiddy without hacker skills and thinking it's a hacker! :mad:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Alcatrazx:
If I were you I would be more careful when stating certain things ... For starters

- Microsoft/HTC had promised that the HD2 WAS ELIGIBLE (and in actual fact is) for a WP7 upgrade ... then they changed everything claiming that it had 5 buttons (not 3... duh the most ridiculous hardware excuse ... its like saying you're overqualified for a job!)... I really feel that the real reason behind all this restriction on the phone was not getting WP7 is that the MicroSD card is removeable (but we got to confirm this as yet). None of the WP7 phones have their MicroSD card removeable ... Clearly M$ do not want this ... Same reason why ChevronWP7 was axed ... Maybe in the future we will learn to exploit this hole in a better manner.

- Secondly making the marketplace work does not mean that you get Warez for free... it means that we HD2 owners (who forked out the cash) .. get to use WP7 on a WP7 capable phone the way it always meant to have been..in other words we get to download Free Apps for Free and we get to pay Microsoft for the apps which are on sale at a price ...

- Thirdly why do we (HD2 owners) have to re-fork out money to buy an HD7 when the difference to an HD2 is really minimal? Now that we have so much choice of OS'es? Probably we won't even like WP7 for that long either, when you consider how much work is being done on / choice there is on Android!

Finally I would like to thank DFT for all the things which were made possible on the HD2 ..

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jemaho:
Well, seems Microsoft has read XDA lately. To get your activation code, you now need to provide your phone's imei number (tested it in Belgium and they asked for it). Guess we'll have to wait another way to activate.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] joellinn:
i called them and got a code, they asked me for my IMEI i said i dont have the phone in front of me. however they send me an e-mail wich tells me to (please) send them my IMEI.

I got the phone activated partly, it accepted the code but i cant login into my live account, it says something like unknown problem the error code is 0x80070057.

Anyone experienced this before? i even did an hardreset pressing volup and voldown during boot :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Quickill:
As wrote jemaho, i think that we have to wait to another way, how to get activation key for our wp7 on hd2. :-(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Alcatrazx:
Wrong...

Call elsewhere .... they just were fishy enough to ask you that to determine whether you would provide them an IMEI.... if you were not willing to do so they just got you... I'd cnallenge you to recall at another time ....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jemaho:
Damn!

Well, you got lucky they gave it like that, they gave me a file number and told me to call back with the imei.

false name, false home telephone number, correct live id, correct IMIE

then she gave me an activation number which she asked me to check. I tried it and it didn't work and gave me an error code but I told her it worked because I thought I was doing it wrong and breaking some sort of law.

I think I've not followed the instructions correctly so will re-read. Getting error code 0xFFFFFEC using my activation and chevron USB connection probs. I realise these errors have been posted a million times but I'm struggling with a workaround.

Also interesting would be to test if the code you get is related to an spcial phone type eg. the hd7, maybe you can get codes asking them for SAMSUNG OMNIA7 ????? but it would be funny if you are the first experiencing an activation problem with an samsung phone^^
