i called microsoft and got the activation code. even after i told them i had an hd2. they didnt ask for an imei either.

i just cant get chevron to work. still says cant connect, check usb and zune are running properly.

im running windows xp.

i installed service pack 3.

windows mobile sdk( the xp compatible one)

microsoft visual studio 2005 & visual studio 2005 sp1

still nothing.. this is lame:\ my vista pc is down due to a broken power supply.

is there anything else i can try?

edit: when i run as administrator it says "unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application."

This supposedly tells you how to get chevron to work, I havent tried this method yet.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ibfromoakcali:
Ive noticed everyone looking for the right dept within microsoft to get an activation code. I called and chose the tech support options for Windows 7, no Windows Phone option here in the US either. Next you have to choose the option for activation, and the option that the software did not come pre installed on your computer. After speaking to a rep I explained that it was actually for windows phone and she was able to help me. Hope this helps

I have a problem here. When I lock the phone using the end key and try to unlock again, the screen stays black nothing happens. I have to reboot in order to use the phone. Also the apps touchxplore, windows phone application and xbmod.filesdeployer says that it has been revoked by microsoft, and to please uninstall.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] leo70:
Uninstall it/redo it and make sure you are offline - only wifi for email that is it then turn that off once done- when you do chevron, xbmod, touch+tom. Then turn it back on to activate with code. So only use email ( by wifi) then turn net off cellular+wifi then do chevron etc THEN turn back b4 press ACTIVATE.

product key

im on the phone right now with technical support. he asked for my first and last name I spelled my last name incorrectly. he also asked for my phone number. and what windows product I was asking about.

I said: "I finally got around to getting into the stuff that my phone has to offer, I skipped a lot of stuff when I got it, and I want to try this live service thing, I put in my hotmail but it says I need some code so im callin you guys"

He says : "Okay what brand is the device"

I said: HTC

He said: "okay no problem just give me a moment while i generate the code"

he put me on hold for about 1 minute

then he gave me the key i needed which you need to fill all 5 boxes

each box the key length is only 5 characters so it wasnt that big of a deal (entering it in right now, pausing this post)

aaaaaaaaaaaand BOOOOYAKA hello MARKET!

dont be afraid to call, probably less time, hope my experience has helped LOL

Are Microsoft still giving out keys anyone know? Asking for IMEIs yet? Any change?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mr_brew:
No need to. I just told the rep I have a HTC Windows phone which is true, and they assumed the rest and gave me a code. Didn't have to provide any information other than name and email address.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] leo70:
Even if they did want IMEIs there are ways around that too I suppose. ie: getting them off the net randomly or even changing your hd2 (leo70) imei first using htc-imei-changer app perhaps. so far it seems these keys are interchangeable and negotiable and not even locked to phone or live address. so if someone were to make a universal key generator we could help by giving up our keys but that won't happen due to paranoia me thinks.

You could always - if really desperately wanted a key and they stopped giving them out- you could force a legit wp7 phone like a Mozart or whatever to become an invalid hd7 using registry hacks then try sign-in, get activation field up, and worst case (if like I hear in UK - they stop giving keys) go into your telco and get them to give you one. This would work as there are devices with invalid model number and keys put on them at factory. Like hd7 pvk to mozart.

They are not right now bound to imei or phone-number or live.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DanielNTX:
Uh oh, I just got some information from a friend that works at Harte-Hanks here in town (MS uses them for customer service calls), that the codes generated won't be completely redacted but based on the phone number given on the support call, it will be cross-checked with the service provider based on the device reported by the cell service provider and information linked by your Windows Live ID. Those with an invalid device not corresponding with what's being reported by the provider (if they co-operate by releasing your info) should expect to receive a letter from Microsoft's legal counsel for committing fraud to obtain an activation code for Windows Phone 7.

It sounds like what DirecTV tried to with people who bought programmers/unloopers for the satellite H/HU cards back in the day and threaten everyone with legal action, but they could not prove what your intention with the programmer was. Except in this case, if you called in for a key you purposefully tried to deceive Microsoft if you were trying to activate live services. If you have your actual address and contact information in your Windows Live ID, I'd change it right away. My friend says all calls are recorded, they just selectively choose which to listen to if they need to go back. Just a warning for you all trying to get a key and take this information with a grain of salt, but I don't have any reason to doubt what my friend is saying.

So I guess im SOL forever?

I freshly installed the WP7 and immediately called MS to activate (don't yell at me, I got this assumption by like page 17 of the thread) it didn't say anywhere in directions that it was imperative to NOT activate first.

I pretty much followed all the directions and did all the WPchevron stuff, I can get into the market, I just get the message still "cant get this info right now. check back in a little while"

You have not applied the Prov XML correctly - i had this problem. You can double check by going to Settings->About on the phone and it will show LEO70. Re-run the procedure again but be sure to copy the XML file(s) to the windows directory using TouchXplorer and then run the connection wizard again.

Once you have completed this properly your phone should start displaying HTC HD7
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Monty Burns:
Cross-referenced with the device to the cell provider? Well that will confuse em because mine should be an Omnia 7! This HD2 was purchased off-contract from Expansys about 19 months ago.

Good job I also gave them a FALSE IMEA, FALSE NAME, FALSE phone number and a FALSE Windows Live ID.

Hey guys...

found this in an article from mobiletechworld.com

(I`m not posting the link cause there are download links for wp7 rom and it seems that it's a bit of a hairy situation right now on xda)

"Update: yes it is now possible to activate the Live Services via a registry hack that fools the MS servers into thinking that the HTC HD2 is an HTC HD7 and by requesting an activation code from MS (only 3 allowed by LIVE ID). But I strongly recommend you not to do it. Once Microsoft lays down the ban hammer on the Live IDs accessing the services this way… there’s no going back."

Any opinions?

If they don't check the imei of the device then there should be no problem even if they detect it one day cause you simply can change your ID.

Or the author is referring to possible indemnity issues...I'm not a laywer.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tomus:
About re-flashing and re-activating:

My guess is that it looks from MS perspective like a full wipe (hard reset) of a device. In which case once activated phone should work endlessly. At least as long as you flash the same ROM.

Unfortunately, Thats pure speculation for now.

Someone brave enough to test it? ;)

Oh c'mon guys, you're posting silly questions. You still have access to both HSPL and MAGLDR. You can either flash Android ROM by MAGLDR or flash any custom or stock WinMo 6.5.x ROM by HSPL (this way will erase MAGLDR too). Think of it like of any other Android ROM, but with WP7 ;].

I'm sad casue someone reported that in Poland they don't even know what WP7 and acticvation code is :D. Poland is strange country. I'll just wait until someone cracks it or... try calling tomorrow, WP7 without Marketplace isn't better than Android/WinMo 6.5 :(. Any more reports from Poland?

My point of view is:

- every code works THREE TIMES per live ID. So no matter if you hard reset/reflash or anything, it will work three times. Then you should call and ask for another code. It's not per phone or per IMEI or per ROM, it's per ID!

Oh man, I think Microsoft will know sooner or later about our little tricks and they will punish us hard :/.

Just disconnect your device, connect again and run the Chevron unlocker one more time.

I'm doing the same, Zune player relocks your device even if it shows in Chevron it's unlocked.

The Ops of this thread offering you a solution to activate Windows Live services, they can't help it. :confused:

There are many people suffering the same if you do a bit of searching.
