you have to call them I think .

MS helpdesk , and ask for the activation code .

I called them to activate a real wp7 phone (hd7 o2 de) and it worked to .

or ask here http://irclog.netripper.com/?chan=htc-linux-chat

edit : stupid MS , I had to call 2 times to get it working (2 different codes )

but I can not test it because I don't have a hd2 .

here is the link to the helpdesk

I just tried calling Microsoft here in France... Either I got mixed up in their menus or I'll have to call back tomorrow morning. If anyone manages to navigate through the French menus and finds a way to get a code this evening I'd be grateful if they'd let me know how. If not I'll give it another go tomorrow morning...

Thanks for sharing your discovery (@ ceesheim) and thanks/congrats to DFT for the port.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] thesecondsfade:
Yes, but I do have a WP7 device. Didn't use the code yet on my HD2. Waiting to see how MS responds. Does lying to an MS rep constitute fraud? Probably.

Flashing a custom ROM onto a WinMo device is illegal too. Not sure using an activation key acquired by telling MS that you want it for your HD7 is somehow worse or not... but xda-dev's has always operated in the gray of legality regarding customizations on phones.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] raven_raven:
Yeah, but ppl flashed ROMs for years and no one really cared. This is something different, this is really messing with Microsoft. It's like sticking a stick where you shouldn't stick or another issue that no one will care. You know, it's nothing bad to them if we use Marketplace. All we can do is... buy apps, which means $$ to them.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ricola7:
Yeah, I will wait with activating my phone too... But I will try to get one tomorrow from microsoft. At least here in Germany the so called "procuring" of the key should not be an issue, if they just hand it to you without asking for any verification/identification...then it's their fault.

But using this key is definetly a legal issue (if microsoft decides to go after the fraudsters ;))

And I'm wondering which idi*** are giving microsoft any true infos about themselves (name or phone number) just make sth. up

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Marvlesz:
I'm not sure because i'm providing this to Win7 64-bit users .

But you have to make sure that :

You have : Windows Phone Development Tool.

Your device isn't connected as guest to Zune but instead your device's name is appearing .

Your device is on Main screen ..

Otherwise I'm sorry ..

Hello fellows,

Ok, since I've got a problem and definatly have no time to scroll through all 199 pages, I'll just ask and hope to get an answer.

When I try to run Chevron, I get the following error message:

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

- Please make sure it's connected using USB

- Please start the Zune application

Well, it's connected via USB, Zune is running as well, the date's correct.

And I also get the tipp to check if "windows/system32/drivers/ext" isn't read only.

I don't even have this "ext" in my drivers.

I hope you guys can help me

Thank you very much
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] QuiXilver:
Dude I had the same problem. Took me half the night to sort out. Apparently it's trying to communicate on port 443 I think. So kill any apps you have running that could possibly be using that port. For me it was a newsreader. If you're not sure just restart your pc and kill anything that's running that's not a Windows essential service.

Good luck.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Aman1238:
I tried that right now. And I also tried everything that has been mentioned before.

Hosts file, reinstalling, hard reset of the phone, zune is not in guest mode, phone isnt on lock screen, all apps are closed, in cmd "netstat" doesn't show port 443, reinstalling Windows Phone Developer wont work either.

Why wont it work!? I really wanna download some apps :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] sails:
I also did my best, no improvements so far.

I'm using Vista and had to use the PC from my mother to install Windows Phone 7 on the HD2.

Could it be, that Vista is also blocking all that stuff?

Holy crap. All I did was install (my first) WP7 ROM for my HD2 (came from hacked 6.5) and the phone in About says HTC HD7 T9292, 14.73Gb Available Storage. I see HTC Apps in Market place too.

Does that mean I'm good to go? I got the 25 key code can I go ahead and put it in when Marketplace asks for it? Do I still need to figure out how to get into the registry? Crap, I can't even figure out how to access the phone's files to install Touch Explorer...

Can you please get me an activation code I live in Central America (Honduras) and have an Hd2 and I dont know how to get an activation Code.. I also tried using ChevronWP7 and got same error as some of the users here :( please HELP!!!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] RandomKlein:
First of all, the reason why many(including myself) is getting the chevron error is probably because you are already using a ROM which is unlocked. Which means that you dont have to use chevron and all of that, you just need a activation code.

Anyways this is what i did to get my WP7 activated. I live in Denmark where we dont have any WP7 support. So that is not an excuse!

1: Create a live account with a new e-mail, and set your location to USA or UK.

2: Find the Zune support number on the US Zune Site, and call via skype or whatever you want to use.

3: Tell them that you bought a HTC HD7 used on ebay or such and that you need an activation code for it.

4: They will start asking for your Live-id, Phone number, Name, Location and IMEI. Dont lie about these things.

5: They will now give you a activation code.

6: If you already have another Live-id as an account in your phone, reset the phone to factory defaults. This will delete ALL DATA, but you cant delete that account in any other way.

7: Open MarketPlace and Enter your live-id and activation code.

8: Success!!!

Worked for me anyways!

And last but not least, great thanks to Microsoft support( No not that m$ crap), for helping me solving this. Customer Support actually called me everyday for 3 days, to check if it worked. I even spent an entire hour speaking with these guys and they would not give up! Just Awesome!

Dont ask for activation codes, just call Zune Support in USA.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] joshkane:
The easiest way to activate your WP7 Rom on your HD2 is to simply go to your local T-Mobile (or whoever your operator is) and go take an IMEI # off of one of their HTC WP7 display phones. Simply call Microsoft and give them a BS story about how you bought your HTC WP7 off of eBay or any other after market seller and they will give you an activation code. It won't cost you a dime other than about 20 minutes with customer service.

Whatever you do... DO NOT TELL MICROSOFT THAT YOU HAVE A HD2!!!!! IT IS A HTC HD7!

IF YOU SAY HD2 THEY WON'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING!
