I don't know about others, but I called Microsoft today, said that I have HD2 device with WinMo 6.5, and that I want to use new Windows Phone 7, gave them my real name and my real number... and guess what... I got my number, they were very polite... so I guess you just have to be honest, and kind to people when asking for something.

Chat support will not give you Activation code in Netherlands

It is true that in the Netherlands the will not give you the ACtivation code anymore for Non- Windows Phone 7 phones. They will transfer you tyo the phone support and there they will check an log your IMEI and SN of your phone. This is the first check if your phone is withing a specific SN range that resembles Widnows Phone 7 devices and a check if nobody used this SN already.

Secondly they will log your full details to log you as a customer to the SN provided. Than they will ask your mobile phone number you are going to use on the device and the live ID, and they will generate a key that is locked to that live ID and logged under that phonenumber.

So you can call back if you lose your key after a hardware reset.

I think they could see the originating URL from this forum site in their chat tool and acted on it.

Sorry, I'm having trouble communicating with the phone.

-Please make sure it's connected using USB

-Please start the Zune application

I already had the zune app running, and i made sure the USB was connected. It was not PIN-locked, and was certificated. Hope someone can give me some advice thanks!

HD2(tmobile US)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
what does the activation thread have anything to with chevron? you don't need to install chevron...all roms are already unlocked. and your screen has to be "unlocked" ... meaning the screen saver should not be showing when installing apps. that means...the screen on your phone should display your home screen, list of apps, or anything except the screen saver locking screen wallpaper.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] rurik92:
yes my screen was unlocked, I am not too sure what you mean by all roms are already unlocked. The main problem I am having is when i go into marketplace, try to get a game, it says 'Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while.' Someone said in previous posts these steps must be done in order for the marketplace to register the phone as a WP7.

5. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;

6. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)

(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. Dropbox.. etc)

7. Install toms .xap installer;

8. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone and run XBMODDeployer.xap);

9. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);

10. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;

11. Call Microsoft helpdesk and ask them an activating key for your hd2 (don't pm me for the key)

12. Setup up your live ID and enter the activation code (on the phone).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
you don't do all these steps...never to connect to marketplace. the provxml was for when you had problems with connecting to your carrier.

all you need to do is flash your rom...setup/connect to your live account...at which time you will need to enter the activation code from microsoft. once you activate your phone you can connect to the marketplace.

you should activate your phone via wifi...go to htc marketplace...d/l and install connection setup. this will set the phone to your carrier for mobile data. download all the apps you want from marketplace.

chevron was needed, back in the day, as a separate install so people could sideload apps outside of marketplace. chevron is built into all the roms now to unlock the os for sideloading. read my link to installing wp7 in my signature.

sideloading apps is why chevron is needed...like i said it's built in now in all wp7 roms on xda. learn how to sideload apps.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=860964

and your error message from marketplace is due to marketplace not being available at the moment (happens once in a while), you don't have a mobile data connection (run connection setup or use wifi for data), or your phone is not properly activated with a code and live account info.

which wp7 rom do you have installed?

btw...you don't need to be connected to zune to access or install apps from marketplace. besides, microsoft will soon eliminate purchase/install of apps via zune for wp7.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] rurik92:
I believe I already have the data connection set up since I can go on the internet with it. Error message still exists right now, but I will try again later.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] rurik92:
I actually had no idea what wp7 i installed, i just followed a video I found on youtube, and eventually track down to this amazing site. May be because it is an old version, thats why it is not working?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] rurik92:
Yes I agree. Thank you so much! Do you have anyone that you recommend? Also do i have to flash back to winmo6.5 to install?(this question doesn't really belong here..)

Either way, thanks!!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
personally i'd recommend yuki/xbmod back to the future rom (i use) because it's more the true wp7 and is more open and flexible than the others, but the installation process is complex for noobs. this rom was the first to be updatable and the only to actually update via zune in practice. the other updatable roms have yet to prove their updatability.

give Pdaimatejam's rom a try. i've tried it and people seem to like it. the installation is straight forward. there's also hd2o's rom...and tiger. if you like colorful system tiles, then you'll like pdaimatejam or tiger.

no install of wm6.5 needed.

task29...install magdlr...perform the needed processes to prep for the flash (clear mbr & uselast24nand inside magdlr option 10-services)...flash wp7 rom of choice.

read posts 1 & 2 of this thread for generic info on installation of roms.
