I phoned Microsoft this morning (17th) and the person said right away to contact my service provider because there not giving out codes, phones back at 11:00am another took my name, email address and mobile number, minutes later he said to contact service provider, I phoned o2 and they said they know nothing of this, he even checked the web for me and said he had no idea other than to call Microsoft, so I phoned them back at 11:30 and person took name, email and phone number, asked if it was the hd7 and I said yes, minutes later a got a activation code, I put it in using cap locks and didn't work so tried lowercase and it worked fine, don't listen to Microsoft if they say no or tell you to phone HTC or your service provider, there talking crap

Hope this helps all Uk users

I just told them that ive tried speaking to htc and o2 and they were saying it was down to microsoft so the guy on the phone said ok and gave it me via an email.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hermesbrick:
you can get codes by phone and Email

This morning i thought that there was no chance of getting my HD2/7 working with Live but I emailed asking a for an activation code via Microsoft support any way

I didn't think this would happen so I followed BrannanD's instructions and called MS quoting the support webpage etc

The operator asked for phone no and an email address and then told me my activation code:D and it is all working fine.

As soon as my phone had activated and had installed its hotmail app, I received an email reply from MS for the activation code i asked for online this morning.

Try everything IT WILL WORK!!

I have actually rang up Microsoft now 5 times and got my activation code from the first call with no problems at all. Trouble is when I enter the activation code it comes back with this message:

Problems with server

We are really sorry, but we've run into a problem, and we are not sure what caused it. This might be a tempory issue that will be fixed if you try again later, but if you keep seeing this error and want to call support, here's an error code that ight help them figure out the problem: error code 0xFFFFFFEC.

I figured I would give Microsoft another call and now they are saying there is a problem with my phone and to contact HTC.

I called on this mobile friendly number which I got from www.saynoto0870.com, 01954 713950.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] esnw33430:
activation

ok i did this a few weeks back and i did it again (less than 5 mins ago for a friends phone i just took to WP7)

use the link for support chat to US (its on the forum, try searching as i wont clutter the forum with more and more links to the same thing. if you cant use search then you shouldnt be trying to brick your HD2, and i say brick because if you cant be arsed to read stuff then you wont be doing a good job of flashing your hd will you).

open chat and tell them you were talking to someone on there the other day, tell them you were advised to contact UK support and were given the number to call. tell them you have tried to contact UK support and they were unable to generate the code for you. they will then say they have "checked their resources" and they will try to help you.

i was asked for my name (why bother lying?), and my phone number (again why lie?) no other stuff was asked on the call. (i gave my email on the pre chat form) 15 seconds later i have a code, and it works.

until i got my 1st key i tried about 5 or 6 times without success, once i got my sh1t together and applied my brain i bagged a key. and a second just a few mins ago, i doubt "free keys" will go on forever and maybe the support desks are now catching on to the game and refering people to the manufacturer (depending on your luck when you are connected to a support tech).

if htc (just an example) can reload all the software and everything else after a hard reset then maybe microsoft are hitting them to say "sort your crap out and make the phone load the key when it hard resets", i have done my eval of WP7 and will be buying a new HTC running the WP7 as the os when a few things get sorted and a good satnav app is released that I like.

im just rolling back to wm6.5 for now

good luck guys and girls
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] arkatis:
Ok guys...This is what i did to Unlock succesfully my WP7-HD2 using Chevron..

These are the steps i made and it worked just fine and i deployed my apps succesfully on my device:

0.5)Type regedit in start/Run and find this key...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone \ProxyPorts]“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5

I personally deleted this key and remade it... It's a 32 bit Dword value..Right click, New, Dword value... add this in Data Value -> 69C5

and press ok! Rename the file to "DeviceReg" without the quotes.

1) Open Notepad with Administrative rights using right click and open as Administrator. Go to FILE/OPEN and paste this on the search bar

i.For Windows NT and Windows 2000

a.C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc

AND

ii.Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7

a.C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

2)Double click Hosts file...

It should open in Notepad..

3)At the end of the page you will see 192.168.10.1 Windows Phone (or something like that)...Remove this and save the file by pressing FILE/SAVE..

It should be saved just fine..

4)Plug your phone to usb and go to device manager..

Uninstall: Windows Phone usb from there and unplug the phone..

5)Restart the computer.........

6)Make sure you have Windows Updates enabled... When you plug the phone in Windows should say that usb device doesn't work and you need to isntall the drivers... Press Install and wait....

7)Drivers should be installed from Microsoft...Now go to Zune and sync the device...

8)Make sure you isntall the Cetification to your device via email!

Open Chevron, check both boxes and press Unlock...You are done...

9)Open Market place from PC and download something....Check the 3 boxes and Press deploy..It should now say "connecting with phone" and after that "sending file"

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Results may vary but it worked for me! :D

Special thanks to member "eried" for his time yesterday! :cool:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Freek666:
Can't get past 8.

Chevron can't connect: Oh oh message. Before Chevron did start but could not connect while trying to unlock again.

Even now the phone is off flight mode, zune is telling that the phone has no internet while the phone have internet.

Had everything working but after update to 7004 by zune nothing is working anymore. Tried everything i read and have much experience with modding devices.

:confused:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] arkatis:
As i told the results may very...

I also know about modding devices since my Sony Ericsson W800 and all Sony devices i owned after it and Iphone which i sold before 4 months to get my HD2...

Anw...I had strange problems with Chevron... I unlocked it like 4 times and after that it says can't connect with my device.. Also Market places didn't work in the first place... Now with this guide i made i succesfully unlocked my device and deployed 5 apps already on my phone..

And also try this on your pc:

Type regedit in start/Run and find this key... [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone \ProxyPorts]“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5

I personally deleted this key and remade it... It's a 32 bit Dword value..Right click, New, Dword value... add this in Data Value -> 69C5

and press ok! Rename the file to "DeviceReg" without the quotes.

When you are done with this try again the guide from the begining! ;)

Hi all,

when I long press end key hard button on the LEO with an android rom, appears a menu with some choices, such as turn off, reboot, and so on ...

what's the name of the app that load that menu?

I think it's the launcher in use with the build, but I'm not sure ...

Can someone confirm my opinion, or can tell me the name of the app that loads that process?

Yes they can replicate the issue, it's been moved from 'medium' to 'critical' priority since it's been getting more media coverage. They have know about it for well over six months. This is an old issue they haven't been bothered to fix.

Look here for the original issue post, it's got all the information you can possibly soak up on the matter.
[Android Software Development] 4nic8:
I am trying to take a keyboard that somebody made into a flashable .zip file, and implement it into a rom that I am working on. What I did was flash the .zip through cwm, then found the apk, backed it up, and then placed it in the /system/app folder on the new rom. The problem is as soon as the rom boots, I get a force close error. So I took a look at the .zip file, there are two folders meta-inf and system. inside system there is an app folder and lib folder. My question is can I just take the apk and lib file out and place them directly into /system/app and system/lib on the new rom? and if so do i need to do anything with the META-INF folder? any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

thanks
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
the META-INF folder may have some script that does some other manipulation of the filesystem or runs helper apps during installation. See what's in META-INF/com/google/android/update-script.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Alexander1988:
I need to make my X10 mini pro like it was when i bought it, software wise for service purposes. Has anybody tried to do so ? I have Root, xRecovery, JIT, app2sd, Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24[rooted](from this forum) and Android 2.3 Ginger Bread Theme Nexus S edition theme. If anybody found a guide or could give me step by step pointers I would be very appreciative. THX in advance.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
You might need to swap your build.prop for a Romanian one? (possibly ask on here and someone might be able to give you a copy if you didn't back up yours before you flashed the rooted firmware) or edit yours with the right details then..

Backup your settings, contacts, txt's etc with Backup and Restore. and Flash the phone using SEUS (Sony Ericsson update service) (if it says you are already up to date then use the recovery option) you can download SEUS from here if you don't have it.

hope that helps.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] loger8:
Yeap, just do what kiwiBratwurst said... You may want to format your sdcard too to get rid of the ext4 partition...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Alexander1988:
So all I have to do is update/recover using SEUS and that's it ! No traces of JIT or custom prerooted Generic ROM will be left ? About build.prop, why do I have to modify it and how will I know what to modify ? Sorry about all these questions but i'm a newb and my touchscreen is making a buzzing noise whenever I touch it so you understand my concern and why I want to ship it into service. Can't figure out if the problem is hardware or software related, this started happening after .504 SEUS update.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
Well you could forget the Build.prop edit and just restore/repair/update (whatever its called) with SEUS (but then your phone will say its from Norway, I think you will have the Norwegian Firmware if you flashed the rooted .24 firmware from here) (you could just try that tho and pretend you didn't know any better)

if you want to try to edit your build.prop (backup the old one first in case you stuff it up!!) I am not sure about the Pro (I have a mini) but pull your battery out and look under it, there should be a sticker with info about your phone.. it has on there an 8 digit number 1234-1234 obviously not that but something with 8 numbers.. this is your kit number, if you are able to modify your build.prop and change the kit number in it to your number then it may work.. (I think from memory the number appears 3 times in the build.prop file. )

There is also a place where it says WORLD Generic or Custom.. I don't know what this should be on Romanian Build.prop.. (it's too late now but.. its always a good idea to backup your system files before playing with flashing that way you have all the original files if you need to revert)

just another thought... if you have updated the phone in the past with SEUS (with the correct firmware) 1.6 or 2.1 whatever.. you could look in the SEUS folder on your computer (program files/sony ericsson/Update service/db) and copy the 2 largest files out of there and use the Converter tool.. Here and you can make your own Original Romanian Firmware to flash with Bin4rys flashtool. (you might need to flick through the post to find x10mini/pro relevant file names.. etc... ) But handy to have because then any time you need to revert back to factory you can just flash the Romanian firmware with Flashtool

Man.. sorry to prattle on.. hope it helps in some way.

Hello,

just got a Samsung Galaxy S in China (under the name of samsung GT-I9008) and use it with China Telecom as the carrier/operator

Specs as follows

Model Name : GT-I9008

Hardware version : 1.0

Firmware version : Ophone OS 2.0

Kernel : 2.6.29 Zeus 1

To my biggest disappointment, the phone doesnt come with Android market but with the Mobile phone operator own device called MM ( Mobile Market) which is only in Chinese !! and very limited in terms of applications you could download.

Is there any way I could install instead Android Market ?

I helped a friend with the same phone. Basically do the following:

1. Download and install z4root

2. Download the Cyanogenmod Google Apps (EPE54B)

3. Open up the update.zip file and get Vending.apk out of \system\app\ and copy to SD card using UMS mode.

4. Use File Explorer on the phone to copy the file from /sdcard to /data/app

5. Reboot

Any luck installing Google Apps on i9008 (Samsung Galaxy S for TD-SCDMA)?

Guys,

I followed the instructions posted on this thread and other sites, to help a friend who recently bought this phone. Successfully rooted the phone. Installed the Google Apps as instructed, but they all are malfunctioning to the point of being unusable.

- Gmail - only works OK with one account, will not allow extra accounts

- Google Maps - zooming does not function

- YouTube - does not even start

- Market - gets stuck at 0% download point for any downloaded apps

If someone managed to install any (or all of these) Google Apps on their i9008, I would be grateful for instructions on how to properly install.

thanks!!
[General Questions and Answers] crampedson:
I installed after updating the official ROM to the latest version. This is 2.1 eclair rather than 2.0 based so may explain why it doesn't work for some people. In that case, using the cyanogenmod 4 gapps files may work.

Another possibility is that not all files were copied from the extracted update.zip to the relevant places under /system (yes, it is /system, not /data as I mentioned in my last post)

These would be /system/app, /system/framework etc.

I daresay that you'll need to copy all files from the folders in update.zip over to the right places. I had to delete some of the Chinese apps to make space for all gapps.

Tell me if it works for you. Cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] frenchbei:
Hi ,

thanks for your input! As I am not at all an expert on technical stuff and do not want to have my phone no longer working, please let me recap :

- I have downloaded the file z4root.1.3.0.apk --> then i have to install it on my SD card and launch the application?

- Checked to download the "Cyanogenmod Google Apps (EPE54B) and it appears on ur link that there are dozens of different files according to phone models but none for the Samsung GT I-9008. Kindly let me know which one to consider.

Did your friend with the same phone eventually managed to have all google apps including the english android market by doing such installation?

Again, the specs of my phone are :

Model Name : GT-I9008

Hardware version : 1.0

Firmware version : Ophone OS 2.0

Much appreciate your help !

Best

Christophe
[General Questions and Answers] crampedson:
Yes, we did manage to get the English market (and many Google apps) running properly.

With zroot, install then run it, choose the permanent root option. It'll reboot the phone to finish the rooting.

The gapps version you need to download is listed in the Cyanogenmod 5 row (android 2.1 or eclair based) and is under the HDPI column (means high dots per inch, or just a high resolution display as the i9008 has). Any of the links in that entry should be fine if they work.

I have realised that in my last post, I mentioned copying to /system/app. This is not possible unless you do the following:

Get http://androidterm.googlecode.com/files/Term.apk install same way as zroot.

Run it then type:

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

Quit out of it then copy the extracted contents of update.zip to the corresponding directories under /system using file explorer.
