Whenever i try to download touch explorer it says that its a .rar file tybe but for it to work it needs to be a .xap file. Is there any way that i can change it or find another download location? :confused: Thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Visentinel:

I dislike the unightliness of having xmbod. Touchxplorer and connection setup in my menu. If I delete them will it have repracussions on the wp7 activation ?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I hope you can use it as many times as needed. Just make sure you are using the same Live ID...since both are linked to each other...

I have reused my Code for 4 times till now...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] tfngwena:
This is spot on... just call them they ask you if you have a hd7 just say yes, they give you a serial .... it works. I didnt even have to hold
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Lennertt:
i called the Dutch MS with succes :)

Number: 020 - 500 1500

chose number 2 in the menu. Waited...

Told the guy i needed an activation code for my WM7 phone.

He asked my telephone number, email and he told me the code :)

I can now acces the marketplace etc.

I'm stuck!

I'm stuck at this point: 4. Using TouchXplorer copy the file in /My Documents/My Ringtones/ to /Windows/ , overwrite if asked.

What file? When I go to the Ringtones folder there's nothing there. Any suggestions on what I'm missing?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] ungureanuc:
I followed these steps and it was ok:

1. Install WP7 sdk;

2. Install zune;

3. Make partneship with zune and phone;

4. Attach the cert to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);

5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;

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

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

6. Install toms .xap installer;

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

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

9. Run connection setup to install the .provxal;

10. Setup up your live ID and enter the activation code (on the phone).

Hi,

"ChevronWP7" doesn't unlock mine... I have the issue many people have stated here.

Tried on 2 laptops, Win7 x86 and x64. Not working on both.

Guys, quick question. Next day I tried first thing in the morning, and after connecting the phone to laptop and opened Zune, I have launched the ChevronWP7.exe and the button now said "Relock" instead of "Unlock". What does that mean?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] n8dwgphx:
Your Certificates weren't installed

"4. Attach chevronwp7.cer to your email and send to yourself. - Open up the email on your HD2 (I used google mail) and click the attachment once will turn into shield, Click attachment again to goto install screen and click install.

5. Now on your PC plug phone into USB and run Zune. (run as administator) ChevronWP7 in C:/ drive. - tick both boxes and click unlock. Now exit."

I couldn't do this in gmail, only on hotmail-clicked shield but I got an error that said

"Your phone couldn't add one or more certificates because the certificate file might be unsupported or corrupt. Error:0x80070002"

any advice to fix this ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] camtolife:
ahhh

IF you have a problem with ChevronWP7.... search program and files. copy and paste "c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\" then open folder for the items and delet them if they show up do it for each of the programs MY PROBLEM WAS HOST delet it in the folder.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] devonaire:
any1 can give me direct link to MS online chat where I can get the code? I was searchig for it but I cant find it :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] kev_cychan:
It's showed :-

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

- Please make sure it's connected using USB

- Please start the Zune application

FYI, i'm done with both above, is there any part I've missed out?

Please advise
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] razeor1:
2. Now on your PC plug phone into USB and run Zune. (run as administator) ChevronWP7 in C:/ drive. - tick both boxes and click unlock. Now exit

I am stuck here when i run the zune software and connect my phone and run chevronwp7 which is in c drive i tick both boxes and when i click unlock it gives me an error saying that the either the phone is not connected via USB and to start the zune software but they both are done and the zune software even recognises the phone. Help would be most graciously appreciated

Any answer on the above mentioned issue ???

I'm having the same problem !!!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Janusz Czech:
It took me a while to go through all steps. I can see some trouble for noobs. Called MS to get code and now my HD2 works like a charm. I saw some post about WM7 laging from time to time but if you use good micro card with 10 level speed you will see no problems at all. Actually runs much better than WM6.5. Kudos.

I just tried to get my HTC HD2 Activated but with no success. I used the link that connects you to Microsoft US Chat Support:

http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support#

Select "Product Sales, General Inquiries and Genuine Advantage Questions" and when the chat window shows up for "What is the reason for contacting Microsoft?" you select "For General Inquires" Support person comes on.

The guys name was "Johnson" hahaha!!! I told him I have HD7 and in turn he asked me about IMEI number. I typed *#06# on my phone and gave him my IMEI number with which he replied: you have HD2 I don't give replacement codes for HD2's. Call your manufacturer.

So much for that.

This is my first time asking for code. I don't have WP7 installed but i recently downloaded ROM and was looking forward to test driving it.... NOT!~
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] oishiboy:
weird... i just chat with a rep named ken and he did asked me for my mobile phone#, email, full name and imei (my hd2 imei) after about 2 minutes, he gave me a code and it worked like a charm... i just said, "i need help activating my hd7 phone" when asked...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Kritec:
You sure your using same link to chat that I am, or did you actually call and talk with them????

Same Problem

Called today (from UK) checked IMEI and would not give a code.

Any ideas?

Edit: Called back, got different op, got code!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] MrMistral:
I followed every step to the letter. Got the activation code. But when I open the market I get "Marketplace is not yet available in your country/region". I have read the forums for a couple of hours now, but I can't seem to find what I've missed. Because, apparantly, I have :P.

Anyone any idea? I live in the Netherlands. Got the code from the dutch chat.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] kevinwalter:
I've got the same thing and also live in The Netherlands.

Edit(from the livechat with Microsoft):

Gwen: De foutmelding die u krijgt kan liggen aan het land waarin het Live-id geregistreerd is.

Kevin Walter: Dat is gewoon in Nederland. Is de store nog niet in nederland beschikbaar?

Gwen: Nee, dat is hij inderdaad nog niet.

Sorry it's dutch and it means in short: The Marketplace is still not available in The Netherlands!

thank you...

work fine for me
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] PaulKemp:
How good is wp7 on the Leo? I m really impressed with my Desire HD with Android Revolution, but I really like the look of wp7. Also,I figure I can get the Leo quite cheap now, since its used. Is wp7 working as a full blown OS? Is marketplace and xbox live working?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] phaeton_esc:
worked like a charm, 5 minutes a I have activation key! :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] enigma1nz:
Just got the activation code - no hassles of any kind, the OP just generated one and waited for me to try it. She asked right away if I am on HTC HD7, I said that I am. Was probably the best experience I had with Microsoft ever.

Now, the question. I skipped all other steps - just installed WP7 and activated. Market tested and works, Facebook, Live services, e-mails etc etc - all work fine. Do I really have to go through all the headache of Chevron etc etc, unlock, certs and so on? I quite enjoy it just as it is, what will I gain or lose or risk by not following the multiple tutorials on the subject of activation?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] shaiq123:
I dont have to use chevron or anything else for that matter. With the new releases, the no do and mango builds, I just need to punch in the activation code and I am good to go.

Sideloading of apps works fine through 'Application Deployment' after you install windows phone developer tools.

Zune helps me with syncing my music, videos and pictures to the phone.

I have tried more then 10 times phoning several times in microsoft. but I still can't manage to get a activation code for the device. Anyone know where to call in australia. I have tried microsoft, telstra etc but everyone says they do not give codes over the phone anymore. Would anyone be kind enough to send me an activation code they may have got.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zerodi:
Thats exactly what i did and today i got my Leo exported all the way from the uk but i got it well cheap, to the philippines and its a great partner for the Desire HD, i must say WP7 is very very slick.....

Does anyone know how i can a get a activation code here in the philippines ??:(

I tried flashing DeviceProvisioning.cab after 7720 update and i think i screwed up the phone, it always went black screen inside the OS then just didnt boot at all :(:(:(:(

Connect your phone and open the program and install XBMODDeployer.xap. This extracts the provxml into /My Documents/My Ringtones/. This is the step i am stuck at i cannot find any files in the my documents/my ringtones folder both the touch explorer and XBMODD file installs in the same place on my phone on the main menu i push the right arrow and then scroll down there they both are touch explorer works but i cannot find xbmobb with touch explorer??? What now?:mad:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] mosbarzi:
they won't ask about that, just tell them you need activation code for a windows phone 7 device, thats it!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] IOS2002:
after you deploy the XBMODDeployer.xap on your device you should find the same name on your device under the list of program run it on your device after that press on touch explorer you should find it there under the path /My Documents/My Ringtones/
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] TheArtiszan:

OK, so in my haste to put WP7 on my HD2, I forgot this step before activating my phone. Am I screwed? :confused: :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Exodeity:
I fixed it, and got it activated, it all works flawlessly, the problem I had was that I had xampp (web hosting stuff) running that I didn't realize, and I read that port 443 can't be occupied, so make sure for those of you who keep getting that error, that nothing is running on that port.

Tutorial was great, thanks!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] sullitf:
I'm at the same point now. I was stuck for a while today with a bad driver, finally realized I needed to try reinstalling the driver and it will now sync with Zune. Thought I was in the clear after that, but now I am still getting the communication error within Cheveron.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] sathara:
how did you installed windows developement tool .... i am using XP ant help dudes
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] sullitf:
Dude you're a life saver, my port 443 was being blocked by some random app that I didn't even realize was running! For those of you having problems with the connection error here are the command prompt commands you can use to find out if port 443 is blocked....

netstat -o -n -a | findstr 0.0:443

netstat -aon

The first will tell you if anything is blocking it, the second will show you a list of all the ports being used. You can find port 0.0:443 in the list and get the PID for the process (last number on the line for the port). Open up the task manager, turn on the PID column from the View menu, and kill the process with that PID. Boom, now you can run Chevron without problems

ok so everything is working. my phone is activated but 1 problem. i ran MAGLDR and went to usb mass storage, and i connected the usb in my phone. windows picked it up and it says i have 199mb free. how can that be when i have 16gb card in. any ideas

if im right your not meant to use it like that cause it corrupts the system. After all Windows Phone 7 doesnt support mass storage

anyway i tried it on my laptop rather than desktop and it worked perfect there.
