[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] yogeshmishra23:
hey akshay! Thanks for the detailed description. BTW i had no issue with activation key as that was butter smooth to get from MS India. As the HD2 now activated, how do you install apps from Marketplace as for me it doesnt download any apps from marketplace.

I tried these methods already

1. Clean install of WP7, activation of Live services by activation key and then logging in to marketplace via both region being India as well as US. It would show message something like "Can't get info right now, try later"

2. I also tried registry editing to as in here. Then tried connecting to marketplace. Error pop up as Marketplace not available in your location.

3. I did regedit on my Windows 7 to access marketplace using Zune desktop, which is a success, it opens and registers my choices, also show that your app will be installed soon, but no app is installed.

4. Finally i downloaded WP7 Desktop Marketplace, i works fine, downloads, as well as deploys apps to my phone but show error in a few app deployment. As of now this is the only work around for me with a few limitations.

If you able to access marketplace and download apps directly to your mobile or by any other better way, please guide me.

To all:

Why so difficult?

Please go to here: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support#

Choose the top chat. Wait a minute. Tell them you need a activation code for your WP7 phone. They ask name and phone number. After waiting another minute they give it to you.

Last question they have: Did it work? You say YES!

(I did this three times - for myself, my wife and a friend)

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] akshay2000:
I think, you should not do these things alternatively. You better perform everything stepwise according to the guide posted in HD2 WP7 section. It should work.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] akshay2000:
Dude, its great. But sad that many of the times its not available here! I didn't have any luck with it!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] yogeshmishra23:
I did all as mentioned but as WP7 not officially launched by MS in India, no marketplace availability. Also Zune Marketplace app download issue is resolved, just a few more tweaks required and done. Now I am comfortably installing free apps from Marketplace using Zune. Also have a lot many Xbox Live games but wont post any links here as it would be piracy...no piracy on XDA.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] akshay2000:
Please, use other methods.

Well Saurabh, you really don't need to Skype at all. I know how frustrating it is! As I've clearly mentioned, you can straightway call them and get the key. Also, some users have confirmed to get it via chat support. Please, ignore Skype thing. Its not really for slow connections. Use chat support or straightway fire a call. Looks like you'll have to wait two days as its already Friday and call centers will be open on Monday.

Reply with progress!

EDIT: By the way, call center contact details for India are:

Phone: 1800 102 1100 (Toll free number accessible from Airtel land line and mobile phones

UPDATE: where is your LiveID set to? I've just tried to add my credit card to the account and noticed, that i've set my LiveID as if i've resident of the UK. And since marketplace relies onyour LiveID togerther with the Activation code, it thinks i am n the UK :) And since i know for a fact, that Market place is not yet available in SLO (or at least it wasn't few weeks ago :)), that explains why i am able to use it...

[P3400 General] ritvik93:
Hi!

Im using the rom Besfen released (the wm 6.5 one) which has manila TF2d 1.2

I wanted to upgrade to manila 2d 2.0 but dont know how to. So please help me out here!
[P3400 General] psychocyst:
there is no way to upgrade your manila unless the ROM has the required dependancies cooked in...but even then you would lose a lot of space on your phone memory while installing 2.0 and might even face inter-compatibility issues...

i suggest flashing a ROMs with manila 2.0 cooked in it...go through the ROM development section to find one that you like...
[P3400 General] ritvik93:
Hi thanks for the info......well actually i tried finding a good rom with manila 2.0 and was unsuccessful...then i thought, why not wait a little more for karanz new rom (the v8).

If you can suggest any good rom with the new manilla in it or if there is any way to get the flipping clock(the actual flipping one ) somehow because thats all i want from the new manila :P
[P3400 General] psychocyst:
i don't think karan's V8 is gonna have manila in it...last i read was that he was planning on releasing a clean ROM coz he wanted to focus on performance and not the looks...

if its a ROM you want then you could try karan's V7 or my own Psychocynicystic ROM coz i felt they performed fairly well...both have manila 2.0...nedalll's rom also has manila but i think it was 1.2...

(and now for a bit of shameless self-publicity)

or you could download my latest Dark Water ROM and install manila 2.0 with nice skin built in from pin12's thread (i've confirmed it to work myself)

and if its only the flipping clock you want...you could download a plugin for titanium but it still isn't as smooth and graphically well presented as having the actual manila flip clock...
[P3400 General] ritvik93:
ooooh didnt see that your rom also had manila 2.0 :3 gonna try it out now :D

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cudahy_boy:
so i got the promotion to get a free g2 but heres a few questions im thinking that it will come with the latest rom can i root it ive been looking through a ton of guides and im confused what should i do. which method work to gain perma root
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
It may come with the latest ROM but I more suspect that it will come with the original (shipped) ROM and immediately receive the OTA update. The good news is that there are no issues rooting even if you have the OTA applied (I think some of the rooting guides assume you do) so I would go ahead and apply the OTA if prompted. This is different than the Desire Z where the latest updates can make rooting more complicated.

The most widely recommended method of obtaining permanent root is the "gfree" method, it will permanently root your phone and at the same time will SIM unlock it as well as set the CID so you could load whatever carrier ROM you might want to.

The only issue most people seem to have with using the gfree method is getting ADB up and running and talking to your G2. Using ADB isn't (as far as I know) strictly necessary to make gfree work but it's easiest and all the guides (that I've seen) have you use ADB.

Here is the section of the wiki showing you how to use gfree to root your phone: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php...cess_.28Permanent_Root_.2F_.22Permaroot.22.29

For instructions for getting ADB up and running I would look here:

Could you please stop telling people to use the VISIONary method!? That method has a risk of putting the user's phone into a boot loop! Please know you what your talking about before attempting to help some one, it can make the difference of bricking a phone and rooting a phone. Rage and GFree DOES NOT have a risk of putting your phone in a boot loop. Out of all the people that have messed up their phone, EVERY ONE of them that I have seen has used the VISIONary method. I'm not trying to be mean, but please be more careful when giving advice. I know your just trying to help, and I respect you for that but please do no tell some one to do the VISIONary method.

[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
If you're cooking a 6.5 rom, and you have a 6.5 native kernel (there should be one out there, unless you're using a cdma diamond), then DO NOT RECMOD (convert to files). If you have to use a 6.1 kernel, then you have to recmod a lot of modules. Look around, there are threads with native kernels for many older devices. I'm not going to dig up a link, I'll let you find it. Just get the Diamond native kernel and use it.

If you have a cdma diamond, then I believe that people use the cdma raphael native kernel, but supposedly it's buggy.

OEM Drivers has an .rgu that usually has a few mistakes in it; that's probably the error you're getting. I wouldn't worry about it, but the kitchen may tell you which line the error appears in, and you can fix it.

As far as rom tweaking goes, all you need to know is that manila sucks, and Sense is blight on humanity. Good luck and have fun.
[Windows Mobile] Fish-Man:
Real Beginners Stuff Please.

Hi,

So many questions :confused:

I too am new to the world of Windows Mobile, and have learnt how to flash different ROMs sussessfully.

I have spent my time reading hundreds of threads about flashing, and having a go - the tutorials and threads have been great source of knowledge.

Now I want to start cooking a ROM and things are different..... I have read thousands of posts and tutorials and watched videos, but I haven't found a real Noobs method of: starting, choosing a kitchen, finding a ROM, importing the new bits, and making the changes. It all goes wrong right from the very start.

Choose a kitchen, and then what ? (exact steps, not just "find a ROM you like, then..", etc. etc.)

None of the threads I have read seem to be able to give the nitty gritty to start, they all skip over it.

I have a Kaiser, and am in a similar position to you, there isn't a native 6.5 kernel for the Kaiser, so how do I make a 6.5 build in a kitchen, when I don't have a 6.5 build to start off ?

Please can someone give a REAL NOOBS guide to starting off.

Thanks & Regards,
