Xda portal page 53... November 26 "chevron wp7 unlocker released!"

xda portal page 50... December 2 "chevron wp7 unlocker website taken down by request from ms"

6 Days for ms to react to chevron. And xda has no problem with download links for chevron. I'm sure xda would have been notified if ms still had issues with unlocker.

Live service hack has been available for about a week now (longer for some devs) no action on this or other sites from ms.

so I waited. And now....

Nope not too worried

what about those of us that didn't lie?

(via chat)

me: I'm trying to setup windows on my phone, it wants an activation code

rep: sure, my I have your name?

me:xxxx xxxxxx

rep:thanks, I'll get that number right for you

rep:and who makes your phone?

me:HTC, and I'm on TMobile if it matters

rep:thanks, it'll be just a second

rep:your activation code is xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

me: thanks, now if I have an issue with this code, do I just chat back?

rep: if you have any issues just contact us at (large block of scripted text removed) and we'll be happy to get you a new code

me: thanks

didn't lie ;p

whether or not they'll attempt to deactivate my account is another story, but I think Ms would lose out more on the loss of my xbox live account purchases and subscriptions, as well as future zune purchases, than they would on letting me have windows 7.

Not to mention all the free advertising ("zomfg, is that the new windows phone?, but I don't have an HD2, wait, I have an upgrade, HD7 here I come")

You just lied to them:D

You need to add this " I just port WP7 rom from XDA Developers into my HD2" and see what they say.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] cwwjr1681:
I told them i was running windows 7 on an HD2 they still gave me the code.. They just said they could not assist me further because the OS was not native to the phone. But yes they still gave me the code. My opinion? they dont give a shi#*!... and they asked for no personal information from so i really do not think they care. They did not even ask for my IMI # I think they cared to start with then realized "HEY! lets use these guys with the HD2s as free advertising and turn this around in our favor! Yeah this is better then spending millions trying to track these people down 1 by 1 and sue them! "

As for dragging people to court?

1) They have to prove it was actually you on the phone

2) They have to also catch you redheaded in the street with wp7 on your phone to have any chance at all vs you in court. "OMG I JUST DROPPED IT! I do not think you get any information from that phone or even find out what OS I was using..."

Yeah coming after us 1 by 1 legally? Would be a 100% futile effort... and a waste of the cash. No way are they doing that

So the idea of just using those of us that hacked as free advertising? and maybe us liking wp7 soo much we actually buy a wp7 as our next phone in 6mo? Yep thats exactly what they are doing.

Anyone who thinks they would come after us 1 by 1 has NEVER lived in the USA and has no clue about the US Constitution.

BOTTOM LINE "Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law." MS could not prove anything and they know it.

For those of you with the US flag on your post thinking MS will legally pursue this course of action.. What are you? about 17? Know your right people I mean you live here! Jesus!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] AlexVK:
I don't understand what the fuss is about. The worst thing that can happen is your phone locking again and not being able to connect to the market/xbox live. That will probably not happen untill the next OS update or something (just a guess). If they want to disable the activation they at least have to be sure that it is not a WP7 phone and, how strange it may sound, my HD2 says it is an HD7..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] glennexpert:
In EU they cannot block any account based on the info they gather from your phone. Except you approve or accept any EULA that tells you otherwise. But than again they are only legit to disable the software. Result: I flash back to android. Same thing happened with my Xbox 4 years ago. Bought one second handed with a firmware flash. To my dispite it was banned from live. Asked xbox support kindly to reactivate because they had no legit background against me or the way I use MY hardware. And so they did.

Oh yeah, service providers are not allowed to "sell " any information about your individual hardware, imei, usage, etc.

Edit: WP7 is sold as a license with your native WP7 phone. Reading the license agreement I can tell you that it is forbidden to distibute WP7. Nothing about installing it on other devices.

I know, I know... But this person was having trouble using the OS on their last phone... WP7 they seem to understand, they will NOT be playing around with their phones like everyone here on XDA does... :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mystik610:
No matter how you slice it....its illegal.

WP7 is MS's proprietary product. They license the right to use the software to handset developers.

So running a hacked WP7 rom is illegal in at least in ways:

-1. The ROM itself is illegal, as it's an unauthorized modification of MS's proprietary work.

-2. Running to ROM without MS's permission is illegal, as MS sells licenses to USE the WP7 software....not the software itself.

They're issuing activation codes pretty leniently...but it doesn't change the fact that running a WP7 rom is illegal. At the end of the day though, MS seems to be pretty laxed about this (for now). I don't ever see them taking legal action against individual users (that would be public relations suicide for them).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] glennexpert:
Hey, MS does not care. For now. They even gave away a phone to Georges Hotz (geohot). Nuf said :-). The more running WP7 the better...

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] EViS:
Apologies for the noob question, but how does MS know who to take to court (should they decide to) without knowing who you are or your address? If you didn't provide them with a mobile number, how would they be able to get to you?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mystik610:
Easy. Microsoft can track the IMEI number of a device using their services, and with the IMEI, your network provider can (not that they will), provide MS your personal information.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] EViS:
Ah, I didn't realise your IMEI is sent.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] glennexpert:
Bottom line, they can't do much about it. Today I noticed that the HTC7 is cheaper than any other non wp7 equivalent. This can mean two things, either the Google android license is more expensive or MS is giving the licenses away almost for free.

Nope.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duce HD2:
4g is a hardware difference, not software. The regular vibrant does not support 4g, but it does benefit from it since T-mo's towers are updated, therefore putting out more data, resulting in you being able to reach max DL speeds - hopefully 6 to 7 megs, which in my opinion is plenty.

this thread is getting interesting. if its really true that the vibrants chip really does support 14.4mbps but is soft capped,then this could be a break through in development.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.orange303:
The vibrant 4g will give us all kinds of goodies. We'll see.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kf7strng:
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I was thinking that the ONLY thing we need to do to get 4G from our 3g+ vibrant is to flash the 4G vibrant modem , when we have one.

The phone itself is locked to what frequencies it can use as well as what technology by the antenna, AND the modem. T-Mo is NOT going to spend millions on new technology that half of its phones cannot utilize, hence why our 3G vibrants have access to "3.5G", which is technically "HDPA", and not "HSDPA", right? The new 4G tech is all ip based, so all the phone would need is a properly encoded modem file to get it to work.

I mean think about it guys, does anyone own an analog race scanner? If yes, have you ever tried to tune into the digital frequencies? You get a modem-like digital noise out of it, because your radio lacks the software to decode the signal properly.

It sounds plausible in theory I suppose, but I can guarantee you this, IF it's possible xda-dev WILL be the first to know, I know I'll be trying it as soon as I see a modem upload!

Flashable via ODIN or CWM.

As far as the 4G, I hope someone else who has played with the KA6 can opine. I literally just flashed the new modem like 2 hours ago. I do not notice an increase at my desk here at work, but I have not gotten to play with it outside where the signal is stronger. Fastest I've seen on my phone is with JL1, and that was just under 6mbps down practically standing underneath a tower.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian_v3ntura:
as far as 4g goes, theres been a rumor that the chip in the vibrant is capable of handling 14.4mbps but is soft capped. theres a whole thread abt this rumor. mainly someone did a complete tear down of the i9000 and looked up the chips part # and specs. since the i9000 and vibrant is almost identical,its believed that the vibrant may also contain the same chip. whether this is true or not,no one will know until someone does a complete tear down of a vibrant. as of now,the vibrant can only go up to 7.2mbps .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nnk61209:
I want to flash but I think I am gonna wait til some1 can verify thats its faster and everything.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eltormo:
I loss all hope on 4G is not because of having it or not,i was happy with the 4MB mine was getting,but 4G on my Vibrant mean that i will get even faster to the capping line of Thief-Mobile.:(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
Thank you for your concern eltormo. I'm sorry that you are upset about T-Mobile's ability to throttle your services at their whim. Your contract Terms & Conditions are open-ended, leaving tmo the ability to provide you as little data as they want. You technically are not being capped. It's frustrating to all of us, but as it stands, it is still the best offering out there.

All that being said, your post is irrelevant to this thread topic, so please take it back to the [THINK TANK] thread you were on earlier if you would like to complain about throttling.

I dont see how the speed of what you download effects, how much you download? Cap or throttle... Blah blah, more speed is a good thing. I for one hope that the vibrant does have the 4g chip, not just for obvious reasons, but it would be awesome to see what would happen in the general section. :gets popcorn ready: Then again I'm not holding my breathe.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I honestly don't know, but if the Thunderbolt comes with 2.3 pre-installed, I feel that the update for the Incredible won't come for a while. If the Thunderbolt comes with 2.2 and has an OTA update for 2.3, I would think that the Incredible would get an OTA update for 2.3 also.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nedrubwerd:
I will admit I am somewhat of an Android purist and will generally only use stock Android (no Sense/Blur/TouchWiz/etc.)

I don't think any HTC Android phones will get Gingerbread for a couple of months at least, Sense is so deeply integrated into the OS that it will probably take them a while to get it in order. I'd say that once the first HTC Sense phone gets it, all the rest won't be far behind.

[Nook Color General] elcape:
Here is a thread that will be all about speculation..

I saw the honeycomb and it was smoking!!! What are the chances that the guys here will get it on the nook? And if yes, how it will run? Given that it only have a 800Mhz processor (1Ghz overclocked).

Looking forward for any opinions :cool:
[Nook Color General] Bimboy:
I hope so, but that's a good bit away. Honeycomb uses on screen buttons, so our hardware button deficiencies would go away, if it were possible.
[Nook Color General] 10equals2:
IIRC, Honey requires a 1Ghz processor. If we can get the overclocked kernels working with the five 9's of accuracy, then its possible. I really would like for there to be a way to strip out the nooks reader and shop apps for B&N so that I can keep the books and magazines that I've purchased. Thats pretty much a prerequisite for me.
[Nook Color General] paleh0rse:
There are no mandatory hardware requirements for honeycomb, but it will certainly run a lot smoother at 1ghz+

[Nook Color General] spikey911:
That's true and the more and more limitations are taken away as launch approaches..

I have no doubt it will run well, but also wonder if anyone will create a Nook version..
[Nook Color General] elcape:
why not......
[Nook Color General] spikey911:
Well, this is just my opinion of course...

It will still be some time before we even see a 2.3

3.0 will not be out for a while and by the time that happens newer, faster, better, tablets will hit the market and catch everyone eye..

People may flock towards the newer tablets and leave the older ones behind..

I don't want to say it will never happen, but it is possible we won't see a 3.0 if the developers flock to newer tabs..

One thing is for sure, you will not see an official version from B&N.. I have my doubts there will even be an official 2.2 from them.
[Nook Color General] camwinnn:
Is it bringing something amazing to the table? Haven't even bothered looking at honey just because the GUI stuff everyone likes looks ugly as hell.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jimmersd:
From my perspective, I see that the Phone market is following the same path that the computer world always has.

35 years ago, when you bought a personal computer, an Apple II for instance or later a Mac, IBM, Atari, Commodore, TRS80, ZDS..etc. The closest analog today to these early systems might be the modern day game console, or our cell-PHONES.In those days you had one option, buy the computer and the OS that was offered with it.

That hardware, was what you used to learn about the software and to play the games. When you got bored with limited options, because you were locked into one market, or just flat ran out of cash the next step was to actually learn how to write your own programs on the damn thing. That was when the real fun started.

Later, ports and emulators were offered by independent programmers to allow cross platform operations, run IBM on Atari or Commodore, load IBM on Atari or Trash80 or Zenith. Most were clunky if they worked at all and required pretty savvy users to even attempt the try. All failed....spectacularly.

We all spent lot's of money and had fun trying to beat the system and run the software that our friends had. We all experienced the draw of walking into a computer store and wanting to try a great new program that was only available on some other computer 'Market' or to buy that latest cool game only to be shot down by not having the latest OS upgrade. But we had to have that awesome game and not have to upgrade our system.

Isn't that the same thing that is happening now? iPhone? Latest version? Android? Latest version Win7?!?! Yeah, Baby!

So here's my question: Would you rather just buy the phone that you want to own? No contracts at all and then choose the OS that you want to use? Or multiple OS's? Walk into an online store and buy a rock solid OS flash with support for you phone, or no support at, your option

Where is the industry really going? Are you having more fun hacking and flashing your own phones or the alternative? If you're here, it's assumed that you'd rather not buy a phone with a contract from a service provider, so let's leave that out of the discussion.

But wouldn't it be better to be able to just buy the correct software rather than struggle with beta-ware? (No offense XDA! You guys rock!)

Let's face it. The reason that this forum exists at all is because you are locked out of an OS because you don't own the right hardware from the right carrier. But everyone is using the same basic processor! Or close enough.

Licensing is the whole stopper. That's all.

FOR THE RECORD I would like to be able to just buy a bulletproof version of the latest flash and run it no matter what phone I had, I'd do it in a flash, no pun intended.

Well, that's what I initially did. Flash the ZIP in Post #49 in that thread. But, on reading that complete thread, I guess you have to edit the build.prop file in /system (Using Root Explorer / ADB Push Pull).

However, this is where I cant get it to work. WHenever I add the 2 lines in Root Explorer and Save Changes, the phone reboots. If I use ADB, even after pushing, when I check the same file using build.prop, no changes are visible, (The opengles.version automatically reverts back to 65536 and the line which enabled hardware acceleration of the UI is gone) and, ASI only shows OpenGL 1.0 due to this
