ALso ensure that the phone does not go to sleep while you run the unlocker program.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] meaxx88:
This is also not the case. It happened before but then it gives me a error message. In my case something different happens. However it seems it has nothing to do with connection problem. It starts unlocking, but then it says the program chevronwp7 has to shut down. Thats it.. Happens every time.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] timmymarsh:
Before running Chevron, check in its properties and ensure it is not set to run in compatibility mode, this is very important.

Also check your hosts file as described and once your device is connected and zune is running in the background, edit or delete the entry.

Chevron should now run.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] philcat:
Just in case it helps anybody, my computer will open the executable, ChevronWP7-NoSideloadLimit, but it crashes every time before unlocking the phone.

If I use the regular ChevronWP7.exe and follow the instructions laid out here, then it works.

Once you've got it unlocked you can edit the registry and allow infinite apps to be sidel loaded and also prevent Zune from locking your phone again.

Best of luck folks.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bjkizito:
Ok, after you have installed the Windows Phone Developer Tools on your computer, go to the start menu and click on All programs and look for the folder 'Windows Phone Developer Tools' and click on it. Inside that folder you will find the application deployment tool. Click on it and it will open a small window. Browse your computer for the files you want to deploy to the phone and click deploy at the bottom right corner of that 'small window'. Just be sure that the path for the files to be deployed is Windows Phone 7 Device. All the best

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG????????
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] timmymarsh:
Ok, find this folder on your computer windows\system32\drivers\etc and open hosts file with notepad. (ensure you change permissions to read/write in properties)

You will see a line [your ip address] developerservices.windowsphone.com

Delete it and save the file.

Do this once you have connected and zune is running in the background.

You should then be able to run chevron unlocker.

WP7 activation code - phone number

Hi

I recently install wp7 but need to e-mail or phone microsoft but have one doubt :confused: I read people need to give the phone number to microsoft :rolleyes

Did i need to give my Portuguese mobile phone number or would be a different (America Number)?

Last night i received a message after open shazan ( software revoked from MS), today i connect my HD2 to ChevronWP7, unlock HD2 and software revoked from MS message dissapear and now can open shazan. Will i be problems with MS with activation code because received software revoked message?

Best Regards;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] timmymarsh:
No, dont worry your fine.

That message only appears because your phone relocked after connecting it to your PC. Unlocking with chevron again means you can continue to use it :)

congs,first check your APN is set from settings/cellular. If all is ok, then try this. Reset your phone from settings/about then set up everything afresh including the code. At the start I had issues with data while TTY/TDD under settings/ease of access was on but it is now ok. So try to toggle between on and off in the ease off access settings and after reset don't forget to set your APN. Again, all the best

Once I have an activation code is it tied to my phone number/sim forever?

I was just wondering because I'm still undecided if I wanna stick with windows phone 7 or go back to android for the time being. And I don't want to activate it EVERY time i go back to windows phone 7.

So if it's tied to my sim/number forever, I'd gladly do it now, but if i go back to android and come back again (when more bugs are ironed out) and I'll need another activation key, I think I'll just do it when I decided to make the permanent switch to WP7

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bjkizito:
ok, let me try. You must have already installed Windows Phone Developer tools on you computer.

For 7, go to folder where you extracted your wp7 toolkit and in it right click toms.xap installer and click run as administrator.

For 8, try to read cos I just explained it to someone just like 2/3 pages earlier. Nonetheless go to start menu on your computer, click all programs and look for a folder Windows phone developer tools and choose the app deployment tool. Browse the folder where you extracted your wp7 toolkit for the files mentioned in step 8 and deploy on your phone. The rest should be easy. You may need to search Google for the xbmoddeployer.xap. Don't recall it being included.

For 9, 8 has to be done cos those files will help you do step 9. Just try to follow the instructions and report any success/failure
