After much searching only way to manage 'Account & Sync Settings' seemed to involve reinstalling, setting account to corporate, or deleating data & forcing new setup. I was not thrilled with any of these options, so I experimented some; involved banging head against wall repeatadly. Finaly tried something that seemed to be TOO simple, but it worked.

0) Have LauncherPro installed

1) Long press on home screen

2) Select 'Shortcut'

3) Select 'Activities'

4) Select 'Account and Sync Settings'

5) Select 'com.android.settings.ManageAccountsSettings'

----------

6) Select icon on home screen

7) Add, delete, modify, sync, etc your accounts

1-5 only need to be done once.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] MicroChip:
Same here. Latest TnT Lite, no "activities" in the shortcuts list. Is there even any other way to get to accounts & sync?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] CrAzYiaN:
From what i'm reading it seems to me that microsoft won't block htc hd2 phones, they want developers to go to windows phone 7, they want ratings to go up.

So to me is they won't block access for htc hd2's. :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Darkside_:
After the update...

Microsoft, does NOT want hackers and independent developers modifying their OS. The HTC HD2 will be excluded from the update. If Microsoft wanted this and other devices like it on the new OS, they would lighten up on their restrictions. After all THEY are the ones that control it.

The WP7 update will close the bug that allows the Chevron tool to work. Our only hope is that someone will hack the update to work. It's going to be much harder this time, as MS had some help and insight from the Chevron guys! Time will tell us for sure.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] benjaminries:
I actually don't understand how Microsoft could exclude the HD2 from the update, given the current architecture. Their own Marketplace servers think the HD2 is an HD7... if they could detect the difference, they would have blocked us already.

We know that Microsoft has designed the WP7 to have complete and total seperation between the OEM and carrier's device-specific modules on the one hand, and the vanilla OS on the other. Microsoft's updates are exclusively for the latter portion of the OS, which is why they can push out a single update package to all unlocked devices *directly*.

In short, my money is on the first update working just fine for the HD2, breaking very little in the process. It isn't a question of what Microsoft secretly wants. This is about HTC building the HD7 out of almost all the same hardware as the HD2, and any small differences were easily patched up by DFT.

I might add that since Microsoft has triumphantly announced that NoDo will break ChevronWP7, wouldn't you expect them to also announce that they had closed an HD2 loophole?

MS will surely shut down that bug on their os and no longer hd2 with wp7 ,but for surely they will hack into it ,

MS answered me that porting WP7 to HD2 WAS NOT ILEIGAL
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gustopher:
I wish I shared your optimism and hope you are correct, but from what I can understand, the update will effectively push out a new ROM having backed up the old one first.

Whatever black magic the DFT guys did to hack the ROM to work on HD2 would surely be undone? I therefore believe we won't get the update unless and until the DFT hack it.

There could be stuff below the ROM level that won't be affected and it could be this stuff that DFT tweaked - not knowing the architecture of WP7 I couldn't comment.

Being a pessimist, it just feels too good to be true that a update would work without any issue - hope I'm wrong though. This could be how MS propose to close the HD2 loophole. It would even work quite well for MS. Having had a taste of WP7, how many of us might go out and buy a WP7 phone having had an extended trial and then being cut off from our dealer...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] MerLinh:
Yeah right, I wouldn't buy the same hardware again, I would consider if at least any of the wp7 phones get the Desire HD hardware, but none of them has it. If the update stop us from wp7 then I'll stick with android and wait for the next major hardware upgrade then I will look for another phone.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Xperia20:
Voluntary update?

My understanding is that the update will not mandatory.

You can choose to update you system or not. So our HD27's will still work once the update is released - we just wont have the new features or be able to run apps that use the new featrues.

I thinks the chances of the update working are fair to good. From what I have gathered the biggest problem the DFT team had was getting magldr and the WP7 OS to play well together from NAND.

I may be wrong - but I like the "glass half full approach".....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ceesheim:
I don't think you could update the hd2 , and if I was DFT I had prevented it from updating to (just to be sure that there are after a update no 14000 bricks)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hyellow:
i wouldn't be surprised if the HD2 could flawelessly get the update. Since it is an MS update, none of the hardware specific software/drivers will be affected. Otherwise, MS has to push updates for specific devices and that is not what they are planning to do. But who'll know? I am sure to be the first to try that out and if I will brick my device, than so be it. I don't think the HD2 can be bricked beyond repairing. With all the great tutorials, first aid guides here on XDA, I think it is safe to try it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] galatei:
They can detect it from IMEI, first 8 digits state the manufacturer and model. There are DBs on the net to verify IMEI against phone maker and model. e.g. imei-number.com/tac-list
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gustopher:
Fair point. Until DFT WP7 I was at a loss though; WM6.5.5 is dying through lack of new stuff, I didn't fancy WP7 and having had a play with Android it just irritates me - I know it can be changed but the default colour scheme and design looks like it was done by a class of 7 year olds with a box of crayons (NB: my opinion, apologies Android-lovers).

So at least I know now that I could go out and buy a WP7 device, but you are quite correct that the launch phones are a disappointing bunch, with nothing one whit better than my HD2.

I have a hunch that something sexy must be coming as WP7 slowly gathers momentum, so I'll hang onto my money for now.

What to do if the update breaks the HD2(7) though...

(Accepting that it may well be optional and might well not break it even then)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
Huh, I wouldn´t count on that. I can definitely imagine the updater could be able to detect the phone you are using (many of us showing "HD7") and upload specific drivers, too - the original WP7 devices did receive some updates already. To make the updates user friendly, they maybe include those brand/operator specific files and drivers, who knows. And replacing the DFT/Leo70 driver material with original HD7 versions might maybe brick the system...

Now that seems to be a bit far stretched... but who knows... modern times, no? :D

At least, it would kind of confirm my thoughts above...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hagba:
It could be that we may get the update and install it OTA,but in absence of any immediate DFT or Chevron Development efforts we could very well get stuck with WP7 on our HD2s !!!.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
I'm pretty sure we won't be able to update our phones successfully with MS's update... we'll probably have to wait until DFT releases an update to flash manually. But unless DFT pre-hacks the registry to make it show up as a HD7, we will have problems doing anything with it until a new way to unlock it is discovered. We'll have to wait and see what happens, but we will probably be stuck without updates for a while I think.

actually, think about it, there is one single blindingly obvious difference thats so easy to detect they could get a 10 year old to locate them.

How many buttons do you have on your HD2? i wouldnt be sure there was no way of knowing. even if we take that out you'll still have some kind of unique signature on the cracked OS that we have all used, it would be near on impossible to hide the fact its an HD2 and not an HD7 if they really wanted to find out.

No chance :) The next unlock (lot better than Chevron!) was done weeks ago, but held back until the update arrives :D Do you really want the update to lock it out in advance :confused:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gustopher:
Good argument and as one of the pessimists, I hope you are correct. I would expect to be able to install my copy of Windows7 64bit onto a new PC (for the most part) so why would the same not apply to the HD2 and WP7. Without fully understanding all that DFT did to make the current ROM work it just feels like a bit of a leap of faith that it would all work with no issues. Bricking? No. Issues? Possibly.

I agree that MS are largely onside with all this - they have more to lose from being pedantic, so fair play MS. However, there is increasing evidence from some of the threads around that MS are being less forthcoming with codes than they were at first, including several reported cases where a code was refused on the basis of the IMEI supplied being for an HD2. So your reasonable generalisation about MS' approach above is perhaps a little too sweeping.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
Right right right, Im not saying they will bother, what i am saying is it is very easy without your push camera button method, the simple fact is MS has the abilty to do pretty much whatevery they like, patch, live, or marketplace access being the delivery method assuming there isnt inbuilt "call home" software in the OS.

I Promise you that there will be a single identifiable feature on this ROM that we all use that would identify us, that could be absolutely anything, from a reg difference to a file, perhaps even some overlooked hardware ID but there will be something. And if MS wanted to shaft us then they could, all i said was dont be so sure they couldnt do it, becaues if they wanted to they could.

I
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] abhavananda:
I tend to agree. HSPL and MAGLDR is out of bounds for MS, both because it's earlier in the boot chain, and also because they would infringe on HTC proprietary space if they went that deep.

On top of that, MS will not be stupid enough to risk bricking legitimate WP7 devices. If it wasn't for the HD2, the Chevron hack would have remained unexposed, which could have had a much greater negative impact on WP7 later down the line than allowing a few thousand experimental users to have a bit of fun.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] trent6gol:
1)I kinda posted this somewhere about Microsoft shafting us, wouldn't they just need to lookup our live/xbox accounts and just charge the heck out of us:eek:

2)If i am correct this wp7 rom we use for hd2 is running in nand, and the original is in rom? if we try to update wouldn't it try to install on the rom side where it's supposed to go making the flash just stop and issue the invalid model id error
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] the_ape:
Until the update is released there is no way of knowing if it will install on our HD2(7)'s.

If you have a read through the MS KB article for the update (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2484484) then it defentely does a rom backup of the device beforehand .. see this part of article

Update was installed incorrectly

If your phone has problems after an update, you can restore the phone to the version and state that it was in on the date that the restore point was created.

However some parts of the same article say that files are copied to the device for the update see

Your phone can't finish updating because it doesn't have sufficient free space. Temporarily delete some things from your phone (such as apps and media). Then reconnect and try again.

So, I kind of think that the rom WILL get backed up, lock stock, and then an update (Windows style file overwite/replace) will be applied. With the ability to restore the backup if something happens...

So then, this is perhaps a double edge sword. Yes we may be able to use the updated files, however we might not be able to get them onto the device with the standards Zune software update because it might not be able to perform the initial backup.

Either way it looks like it will be a Zune Desktop PC deployment, and NOT an OTA update. That may be another issue, as the Zune PC software can identify the hardware and download the correct update, so there may be an update for specific phone models.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] :
i have no idea is this has been discussed, but the real reason why the HD2 will not get an official WP7 update is because os the dumb search button that all original WP7 phones have. other than that we would have our update.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
That's not the only reason... the hd2 also doesn't have 4 point multitouch or an amoled screen, or 16m colors, or a dedicated camera button. MS wanted wp7 phones to have all those features also, which the hd2 didn't have. Just because someone at MS said it's because of buttons doesn't mean that's the only reason. Luckily we have Cotulla and DFT developing for the HD2.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
And you think that the hd2 having 2 extra buttons matters more than the reasons I stated? Read a line or 2 after what you highlighted... state that buttons might not be the only reason... that there's other hardware not up to specs. The fact that the HD2 doesn't have 4 point multitouch is a big one... it causes certain apps to not be fully functional. Buttons can have workarounds, but there's no work around for adding 3 or 4 touch multitouch when an app needs it. Like I said before, just because 1 MS employee was quoted saying that the buttons is a reason it's not getting upgrade, it doesn't mean its the only reason. That guy was probably just giving one example. It doesn't really matter at this point anyways... this is very old news and has been discussed to death. We're not getting an official upgrade and we have known that for a long time... since wp7 was announced. But we have a very good port thanks to DFT.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Daanmannetje:
MS has stated that they sold 2 million WP7 phones in the last few months. I don't think they care that a couple of hundred, maybe a few thousand HD2 users use WP7 on a device that (hardware-wise) can support it. Therefore I'm not afraid the update will brick my phone.

However, they will not support it and they will take action against methods that potentially support illegal use of apps (Chevron).

I'm not fussed about Android as I used it before for a while before DFT came out with the current ROM. WM7 is soo must smoother and faster than Android ever was on the HD2, so I'll just so and upgrade to the HD7...
