Hi all
Just a quick question. When you upgrade your Rom, and you go through the HardSPL procedure, does this change your devices MAC address/hardware code?
Reason I'm asking is that my GPS software uses that MAC address which you have to register on their website and they then issue you with a activation code. Problem is, after upgrading I can get the software to work on the phone, but it does not want to accept the same activation code as before.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Mac Address / hardware code?
Definitely not.
Well, HTC Website is just as screwed, that happened to one of the guys here last time too.

I am sick of the old ROM, and the outdated Radio. I think many problems can be solved if I can upgrade my O2 Exec ROM to the new JARJAR one from a month ago that was posted on clubimate.
I know I need to use a tool called NO_ID something to make my machine accept a different ROM than O2, say the Jasjar ROM.
THREE PROBLEMS:
1) After making the upgrade, can I CHANGE my DEVICE ID back to the one which I've had before? I have a program that I purchased for a lot of money and it works by the device id only! They are not willing to give me a new version. So I gotta be able to change my Device ID back to the one I had. Is it possible? Would the JJ ROM work after the upgrade if the DeviceID is changed?
2) Can I safely and absolutly for sure revert back to the old ROM which I had? Just in case something will happen?
3) How can I get the latest OFFICIAL Imate rom? Clubimate will not let me download it I guess, because I don't own an IMEIA of a JJ but rather of the Exec.
I appreciate the help!

What do you mean "Device ID" ? Example please? All the software I've seen so far uses the Owner name as a basis for it's code, but sounds like you mean something else. If you mean the IMEI base code of the phone, that won't change and will stay the same.

There should be no problems. I can't give you a 100% on that because I don't want you coming after me in the very rare circumstances there are problems, but I've flashed my Universal about 15 times in the week I've had it and even though I had a few problems (Radio ROM's) I was always able to reflash it/get it working again (including back to the original ROM).

It's on the FTP site:

and see this page for working out which ROM you want:

Thanks for being helpful with the links I'll check them
Regarding Device ID. That is EXACTLY what I meant, I didn't make a mistake. My program goes by the DEVICE ID. I think it works in a similar manner to how the Jasjar Rom update does. That is checking that your device ID states it's really a Jasjar and not XDA, QTEK or Dopod. I have a program that I paid $100 and it says it goes by device ID.
It says my DEVICE ID is: 355195001182280158000050BF3F5120
and that is will not work on any other device.
That said,
I know that the NO_ID hack down here is supposed to delete my Machine's device ID. So I'm afraid it will not work anymore... BTW: My IMEI begines with part of that long device ID string but that string is longer that the IMEI I se on the Settings->Device Information
Thanks

I don't get it. The WIKI page for Universal says that Uni_ROM_1.30.68 is a test rom?!?
Uni_ROM_1.30.68
WARNING: This is a test ROM and may damage your device
So how can I get the OFFICIAL LATEST Imate Rom without going to clubimate which I can't ? (I have Exec not imate)
Hello all,
I am having trouble with the network unlock (subsidy code) on my WinMo 6.5 Tmobile HTC HD2. I have tried a pay-site solution as I no longer have my TMobile account (moved to Alaska). The site replied that the IMEI number supplied could not be unlocked and that a data connection to a PC might be required.
!QUESTION!:
Who can unlock this phone for me? I have tried. I have danger spl and a custom Energy rom. The IMEI matches on the handset and in software. I would rather pay a forum member through paypal or find out what I need in order to unlock this phone. I have a dual boot android partition installed on the handset as well. Maybe this had something to do with the fact I cannot unlock via traditional methods.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Hey guys im getting a chevron error that is saying the phone isnt connected. SDK installed, connected to zune, network connections turned off... idk what to do. Been searching everywhere and cant find anything. using xp SP3.
Same problem here. Tried all different kinds of variations with connections.
Using Windows 7 Ultimate.
Firstly, this is the dev forum (for posting dev work), there is a reason why these forums have Q&A sub-forums and I thought the reason would be obvious
Second, why are you even using chevron? All the latest roms are pre-unlocked so you have no need to use chevron unless you are still using the first build that was released.
Just re-flash to custom rom.
hmm... that's confusing. Well, I am using LEO7 or w/e... from a guide on here. Is that not right?
Secondly... I posted this in the Q&A forum, so what is the problem?
Thirdly, When trying to activate my HD2, should I just skip the step with chevron and continue to the registry editing? How can I see if my WP7 is unlocked?
Here is an example of one of the ROMS that is developer unlocked, which means you do not have to worry about Chevron and registry hacks. In theory, just input your activation code, and you should be ready to go.
Apparently the other poster lost track of which sub-forum he was in, so do not worry about that.

I still dont have to change the registry to make my phone identity a HD7? This rom I am using is developer unlocked now - can I contact Microsoft and get the key all the while telling them I have an HD7? How do I verify my phone's identity being an HD7?
Best thing for you to do is recheck the details about the ROM you installed. Most of the newer versions have the registry taken care of, so there is no need for you to change it to create the appearance of a version of Windows Phone 7. The information about your ROM should give you all the details, including the WP7 model number.

I looked at the ROM details and it said that it is Chevron hacked, and the registry edited. Doesn't specifically say the identity changed to an HD7. Chatting with microsoft, just got my key and I am giving it a try now. Will post results. Thanks guys.

hi am sorry but no there is currently not any way to read the activation code from the device itself...
But u can still get a new code if u want!
(I got my code by email, because the code i got wen i called them just wasn't working.)
Is the Activation Code stored on the HD2?
I read on one of the pages of one of the threads in one of the Forums (phew), that the MS Activation Code was stored and almost readable if you had the right apps and RegEdit(?).
After settling down with WP7 I decided I was happy to wait for Mango updates before Re-Flashing, so I discarded the Post-It with my code, but XBMod now has a ROM out and I want it. So I'm gonna need that code.
Does anyone have any more on this?
Edited: 03/06/2011
Just phoned MS UK on 0844 800 2400.
Told them I'd reset my phone and asked them to read my activation code back out to me, which they did. Happy days, just sent it to myself in an e-mail so no more waiting for another XBMod ROM. Ta.
well, you can use the code on your WP7 using this registry :
Live ID Activation Code
(Usefull on HD2 to bypass boring serial number step, need a valid serial!)
Code:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\GwpCPC]
"ActivationCode"="*****-*****-*****-*****-*****"
Then maybe after using the code it would be there ?
I apologize in advance i cannot find the forum with similar topic i know exist but i really want to update my hd2 with a newer version of WP7 and gain the ability to do updates but i know if i change the ROM it will ask me for the activation code and i really don't want to go thru the calls to MS with the possibility of them asking for POP.
i installed Registry editor and i go to HKEY local machine/Software/MS/GwpCPC and there is no info. if I'm not mistaken that is the location of the activation key.
Can some one pls help? really would like the latest version. i currently have Version 7.0.7004.
BTW when i try to upgrade thru Zune errors out stating that i don't have room on an empty phone. if there is a way to force update all the way to mango i would greatly appreciate that info as well.
thanks
1. The only way to activate the WP7 with Windows Live is by contacting MS for the activation key. Personally, it is VERY simple. I got my key within 10 minutes. There is also a tutorial here to get it through a chat with a MS representative so that way, you won't need to talk to them.
2. Which WP7 rom are you on? Almost all the custom roms here are now up to date with 8107. You would have to download the exact same custom rom @ the 8107 version and just flash it the same way you did to get WP7.
