HTC HD2 T-Mobile UK problems - HD2 General

Hi, searched high and low on here. Does anyone have an idea of what serial number would be of an unlocked HTcHD2 from what HTC call Europe 1? I am useless at ROM/tech stuff. HTC won't let me upgrade my ROM as my phone is Tmobile locked. My biggest problem with this is that Tmobile will not release any updated ROMs because it would unlock the Youtube app in HD2. Why? God only knows. I just want my phone to work as HTC intended and get value for money both with technical support and features. If anyone can help would appreciate greatly.

as above, but you can skip the first part about unlocking your phone...

Thanks alot folks for the info.. Done the whole thing but i lost my data connection T-Mobile provided. Does anyone have the settings fr this? Otherwise I can't use internet..aaarrrgghh.

Go to setting, menu, all settings - connections - connection setup.
In there set the country to UK and operator to T-mobile
press ok and it will ask you to restart yours device
All done
Thanks

After you've done the above you also need to remove the proxy server; which T-mob settings put in by default.
( Comm Manager -> Menu -> Connections. Under T-Mobile, Set up proxy server. Uncheck "This network uses e Proxy Server..." )

goto t-mobile directly..its what i did unlock straight from them the best and the safest way of a guaranteed code, but you will have to be with them for more than a month to get the code this is with HD2..

T-Mobile charges £15 pounds to give you a unlock code.
If you now a friend who works for T-Mobile than you can ask him and see if he can give you the unlock code

why are people telling the OP to unlock the phone? thats not the issue or part of what they wanted to do

If he wants it how HTC intended it then unlocking it is part of it
But if the OP is on T-Mobile then it's not an issue, just HSPL it and away you go!!

Tmobile settings: where can I find them

So, you hard reset your device, you do the softreset to avoid all the branding rubbish and .... your phone won't work because you don't know the password to the internet connection settings and so on.
Question is: where can I find the t-mobile settings, web and walk included?
TIA!
There is a website I found recently called Google.com . It's some kind of search engine. If you enter "t-mobile uk gprs" and hit search it comes up with loads of links. not sure if the first one helps. Try it out.

Ah-ha. You must feel like a big man now.
Plus, you're wrong, they are not that easy to find. Looking at the first links on the search string you gave, they all list the username for the t-mob connection as being 'user', whereas mine is 't-mobile'.
here it is - but they dont work on some (ch) roms,works fine on my rom with web n walk
For USA T-Mobile users, here it is:
Just in case you want to add them in manually TMobile and all the UK service providers details can be found in this post over at the 4WinMobile.com website.

How do I install from this cab file?
Not sure if it'll work on your device, but give this a go:
V
Vijay, maybe you want to rename the file to GPRSsettings ?
Hi guys, thanks very much for all the replies!
Signed_UNI_TMO_Connection_112100.CAB did the trick. I didn't seem to need the other file (MMS settings). The only other file I had to fish out of the extended rom is the long_dtmf one. If you don't put that on and try to dial a number, the phone hangs on keypresses :lol:
I'll let you know if I see any other required cab I might have missed. So far the phone is behaving slightly faster - not as big of a difference as I've seen on the O2 branded ones (which hurt from all the crap 02 leaves on them).
Cheers!
Would also like to add, without all the tmobile stuff from the extended rom, my battery life has doubled. Brilliant!

if U want to not install branding rubbish, after calibrating touch screen, ppc starts installig. U've got some 3seconds to softreset(small black hole below usb connector) press it and trick is done. Other way use ext_rom unlocker (www.buzzdev.net) remove or move (move is better, there are gprs,mms and other settings in .cab files, U'll figure it out which of them U need) all **** from ext_rom and hard reset

thanks
@humble
I've don't think there's a T-Mobile UK ROM at the moment - you can only buy the TP2 on T-Mobile through a 3rd-party company right now as T-Mobile don't sell it over here yet.
Many thanks for looking into it, I'd really appreciate a UK version.

I installed your my account cab and it reads "Unable to retrieve account info".
I uninstalled, soft reset and reinstalled it to try again but it does not work
I can't think of anything why it would not work.
Thinking........
Does the My Account program use the SIM card to call T-Mobile? Maybe something is missing from my SIM.....like a number??? My SIM card has the #646# (Check my minutes) and (check text usage)... Does the My Account use that?
Thanks for your time and help! I just wished it would work.

No problem,
One way to find out.. If its your SIM or not... Flash to another ROM and see if MyAccount works.. Use any one, mine or his there basically the same(i extracted mines from the dump of my phone).... Just my taxi was a little faster

Battery

I want to do a rom update, but the HTC website says i need the serial number for it. I looked up were i could find it and they said it was under my battery. But how do i get it out, i don't have that paperthing under it anymore, it looks impossible for me?

It does come out, but you don't need to do that to get the serial number.
Go to the settings tab, scroll all the way down and select "About". Then select "Phone Identity" and scroll down to see the serial number (S/N).
Okay thanks but now i get a new problem, it says my device is not suitable for this software. I got a Dutch Htc Hd 2 so i don't get why it's nog letting me download it.

That's fine mate - you're making perfect sense. Your English is good.
The ROMs on the HTC site are for unbranded phones (SIM free). You will need to use Goldcard to install the new ROM. Read this thread to learn about it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591239
I'm afraid I can't advise you on the Goldcard, as I myself have never used it. Lots of others have though, so I'm sure they'll help if you get stuck.
Good luck
Okay, thanks for your fast posts . I'll see what i'm going to do.

[RQ] Microsoft Activation Code

While reading all the great threads about WP7 I found that there are quite a lot of people that are not able to get in touch with MS, and they keep on spaming, trying to find one. So here's my idea: do not do this. Just ask here and if there is someone who can help, he could PM you.
So I'll be the first one. Anybody could help me?

Just phone them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't! It would cost me more than my monthly payment, and the skype connection so f***** up!
Jesus. You DON'T need to call MS in the USA. Call your local MS support (should work in all countries where WP7 is officially launched by the local mobile operators!) and they will give you the code. I'm from Bulgaria and to my extreme surprise I got the code within 5 min from a very friendly customer support agent on Microsoft's toll free 0800 number. The agent didn't ask for anything more than my name and mail adress. He even mailed me the code afterwords for future reference
UK ms are giving them out first time. give them a call through skype.
0844 800 2400 choose option 2 and then option 7
Does anybody know how many times we can use this code to re-activate our phone?
Just asking as I like testing this but I want to go back to android soon but just worried about re-activation issues etc.
^ Till now I've used same code to Activate 4 different Live Accounts! So my guess is its Device dependant. You can activate it any no of times as far as its the same device. Thats my guess!
Tou can activate 3 different live accounts with 1 code AFAIK. So you shouldn't be having any troubles with switching forth and back between Android and WP7
A notice to bulgarian users. For Bulgaria the MS number is 08001555 (free from all networks!). Choose option 1 from the voice menu and then tell the operator that you need a WP7 code.

Well I was referring to the same live acount but I guess that sort of answers my question anyway. thnx.
Can I ask though why you used 4 different accounts?
Well first when I activated using my Live account, Marketplace didn't work since that Account was created using India as locale.
2nd time I activated with a different ID, but that too turned out to be from India as initial Locale.
3rd time I created a totally new Live ID and this time everything worked perfectly. Marketplace and XBL worked just fine.
But then I thought of migrating my X360 XBL to this new ID and as soon as I did that, the Marketplace not available for your region error came up.
Finally created another account, activated it again and using it!
Ok I called customer service and they needed my name etc, but then IMEI wtf!!!!!
Can anybody please pm me an activation code????
Thanks

Actually I asked the Agent "If I hard-reset my HD7 p) can I reuse this code ?" And He said "Yes, whenever you format your phone and an error came up you can use this code again just don't give it to any other person" so i assume that the code is valid for My phone (or ID ?) to be used very multiple times but I'm not sure since he didn't mean it directly

Sorry but I think you have to call Microsoft. I don't think it is any other way. Just call Microsoft and tell them you installed Windows Phone to you HTC HD2 and you need an activation key. They will ask your name, phone number, and your e-mail. Give them this info and they will give you a activation key.

well actually I would call them after You flash WP7 to your HD2 cause I don't really know what the whole process involves of entering the activation key being as I have never done it myself cause I have not flashed WP7 to my HD2. But it is all over XDA and other sites that talk about the HD2 that you have to call to get the activation Key to enable cloud services like market places and several other features of WP7.being that you may have to enter the information to your HD2 as you talk to them on the phone I would flash WP7 first then call. But I have read MULTIPLE POST by users that they called and got the activation key with no problems. I think this is because WP7 is a Microsft product and even though the HD2 is not an official WP7 device, they still have to give the key because you can not fully us the product with out it.
Edit: I toke a look at the Windows Phone development section and found this "[Confirmed working]HowTo actvate your wp7/HD2 Live services". I think you Might find this very usefull.

Like the post above me says i installed it first than set up my internet connection (important if not activation will fail) if you had to leave the activation window to set up internet you will get it again when setting up your live account in the email box. the person on the other end of the chat box will be in a hurry make sure you keep him/her on saying you want to make sure everything works right and he has to also know you have successfully activated or he may just decline that key and remember you cant have 2 keys on live at the same time so do not do it it will cut one or maby both off

wm 7 sucks
I second that
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i know
it it alright and the only reason i have it is to use netflix and it is on my second hd2 which dual boots android too i would not want to use it as my main phone whatsoever if android was secure enough or could spoof my hd2 to one of the secure androids that come with netflix i would be happy and not think of winmo again i do say wm7 is pretty smooth though from what i have used
just email microsoft customer service, I got my code in this way

Well your opinion "sucks" mainly because there is no such thing as WM7, Its WP7 (Windows Phone 7), which is a completley different OS to Windows Mobile.
@ OP
Go into the HD2 WP7 forum, there is plenty of topics on activation. You can do it via email or chat not just phone.
