I was wondering if it is VERY NECESSARY to install the SDK. I really hate to do this as it takes forever to download and install ~2hrs in total??

is there anyway around this?

What is the most important component I need? i don't want to install the entire suite if i can just install the component that will suffice.

I just reinstalled WP7. I got everything unlocked (about says HD&t9292) . When I try to access the market it says try again later. When I try to activate through XBOX live I get an error after entering the same activation code I entered before. Anyone else with this problem?

for 5 days I could not repeat the wp7 port process chevron would either crash or communication error. I tried every mod or tinker i read or wined enough to get out of someone and nothing ever worked. I even tried a computer with a virgin install of window pro 7. No luck whatsoever, i was completely ready to give up but tried just now one last time and suddenly it unlocks and everything worked just like the first time i did this.

UK have run out of Codes

Well I managed all the steps shown (huge trouble with ChevronWP7), phoned Microsoft in the UK and they have run out of activation codes. They requested more yesterday but they may not arrive until Friday.

You guys have been busy.

Just to possibly help out people who might be struggling with the 'Uh Oh' message on ChevronWP7 - I spent hours retrying it and it was only when I completely shut down Skype (and various other unnnecessary applications) that Chevron worked. I had to go into task manager and go into the processes tab, highlight skype.exe and click the end process button (then click end process on the next dialogue box). After that I ran it as administrator and it worked fine.

Other than that the whole installation went well.

Hi, I unlocked everything. Now the only problem is that when I enter market it says that I'm not in the right region/country.

I already changed all the region settings to USA, Also changed my hotmail account to a american adress. Furthermore I turned off location.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Slavid:
I've tried calling for the past 3 days as well. First they told me that the system was downand to call back today. When I called today they told me that all the windows phone 7 licenses have been used up and they need to get permission from the higher ups to generate more. They said it would take around 3 business days. Whoever I spoke to was being rather aloof and not really giving me straight answers. Maybe they are on to the fact that there are now more activated licenses for WP7 than there are actual WP7 phones.

Fantastic

I phoned Microsoft in the UK this morning following yesterday's failure as they had run out of codes and the young lady trotted off to find out if they had any codes and came back to read my code to me - less than 5 mins on the phone - fantastic.

0844 800 2400 Option 2 and then option 7 (don't wait for them to read out all the options).

Typed it all in and it works - I have started downloading all my old WP7 games and apps.

So my opinion - it looks great on the HD2 - it is very washed out compared to the Omnia 7 but I guess that is partly down to LCD vs AMOLED.

I had everything working, but didn't have an sd card inserted, just want to try a few games. So there wasn't enough space without the card so I did a hard reset with the sd card inserted, it formatted.

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.

Fantastic. Takes a little bit of time for installing software. But activating is a breeze. Just call microsoft. They do not ask any questions at all. Looks like microsoft does not mind people using wp7 on hd2. Probably justified because this phone is more than capable of running wp7.

I activated my phone by calling up microsoft. But I'm not able to unlock using ChevronWP7. Live services are working except that Marketplace doesn't allow me to install anything.

Could somebody help me with this? Tried all the solutions with the exact sequence and still Chevron would say that phone is not connected using USB or Zune is not running.

Got my activation code from Microsoft within less than 5 minutes.

I just told them I needed an activation code to access the marketplace, they put me on hold and then gave me the code.

I was prepared just in case they ever told me to give an IMEI number, i would've just said that I just bought it and i'm still waiting for the phone to arrive however today is the only day I have off to call and get the activation code.

Anyways, I don't understand why people can't get it. Just be calm.

However, in saying that, after using WP7 with a working marketplace, i switched back to Android. I'll wait until it matures a bit more first.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
If you told them you didn't have the phone yet, they wouldn't give you a code. How would you know you needed a code if you haven't even had the phone? They are suppose to have the codes programmed in already... probably only one out of thousands of real wp7 phones mess up and need to call to get a code. Microsoft probably thinks there is something wrong with hd7s because of all us calling saying we need codes for our hd7s.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Psygnosis84:
Well I didn't tell them I didn't have the phone, that was my backup plan.

I would've just said that i've read about WP7 and they say that an activation code is necessary. No one would be the wiser.

I just plainly said that I needed an activation code to access the marketplace. Nothing more. I didn't even mention the phone model.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] xda2_haseeb:
Well Microsoft knows about us using codes on our HD2s, they also issued a statement about this before ... i think microsoft is just being generous that maybe we all would switch to a real wp7 device at some point :-)

i used live-chat with MS supporter, but they always say that Microsoft not support for Vietnamese. Can anybody help me?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
Yeah, I know. I was just saying the people with real wp7 phones don't need to call for codes except in rare cases, so if you had told them you didn't have the phone yet, they would've said you didn't need a code. They know that most people calling for codes are us hd2 users, but they don't care and they can't really refuse because there probably are a rare few real wp7 devices that may need it.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] timmymarsh:
I assume that magldr flashed correctly and that you flashed the correct radio? Did you test this to see if it worked before flashing wp7?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] timmymarsh:
Hey, dont loose it, you just need to retrace your steps, did you follow the guide in the correct order?

The reason why your phone still says leo is due to the reg hack not working.

If you want to start again, why not reflash via magldr?

Running free/bought apps shouldnt affect your live account as their system believes its an HD7. But if you're talking about cracked games/apps - XDA does NOT support piracy.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] haksam:
MS doesnt necessarily have to ban live IDs and gamertags (unless always reported for misbehavior? or unacceptable names?), only modded xbox 360 consoles.

if the same theory applies here, they might be able to ban the HD 2 imei from accessing marketplace and xbl, not sure though if thats viable
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheOnly1:
Why should they? I'm pretty sure MS does NOT want that 10 000 WM loyalists migrate to Android forever, just because their Live accounts were blocked :D The good news is that every HD2 owner has a huge choice of OS's for his device :cool:

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
If you go to settings and you go down to where it says "about" or something like that, it should say your phone is a T9292 HTC HD7 instead of LEO70. Also, the market should have a HTC apps category.

Based on your email reply, unfortunately, I am not able to provide any activation code by email, as you need to call Microsoft Customer Service line in your country. This is because you need to provide your phone IMEI and Windows Live ID by phone for verification.

select your country

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] placebo3681:
Ahh ok great. Well that definitely helps. Now I just need to figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong as it definitely still says LEO70. Just to recap my steps, maybe someone can pinpoint what I'm doing wrong.

1. Taking the registry file that is located in the Activation guide, I extract it to my Desktop.

2. Using rgu-2-xml I convert the registry file to .provxml. I then change the extension to .xml

3. I e-mail the .xml file to myself. Using the latest Advanced Config (1.1.0.1). I download the .xml file and run it. Advanced Config installs it.

4. Done.

Is that the gyst? Is there something I need to add to the registry file thats making it not install. I'm improperly resetting the phone (I just power down and then reboot)? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
