I have a dual boot hd2 that I purchased today and I purchased the unlock code for it. If I boot it into w6.5 it does not give me the option to unlock when I boot into android it gives me the option but tells me it is the wrong code.... Please help
Do I have to revert the phone back to factory? If so how I bought the phone with android because it was already done
Is it a t-mobile hd2 that your trying to use on ATT? If it is then simply take out the t-mobile card n place the ATT card in I believe. Then it'll ask u for a code I think.
yes it should but it doesn't... I have been talking to a few people that know more about hacking and I found out that some people think the phone will be faster in android if you strip windows down to the bear essentials and apparently that was removed. I think I will have to find someone to re flash the phone. although I was playing with the phone and found the imei# for the android phone which was a htc desire does anyone think if I payed for the unlock code for that phone it would work?
I guess there aren't any hackers in this forum... No help for any phone I've posted on
I had the exact same issue. The WM 6.5 rom I had didn't have a check to detect locked sim, so I booted into android (Mattc 1.7 at the time I believe) with att sim and android prompted for code and I entered the one tmobile gave me and it unlocked it.
I would say make sure you gave the people correct IMEI and that the code is correct, because doing it this way does work.
I tried that and it didn't work it told me it was the wrong code it does give me the right imei# for the phone the software came off of but not sure if that would unlock it because windows is still the controlling os isn't it?
you shouldnt have bought the phone with android on it. that is not really good for the developers either. your best bet as you probably do not know what the previous person did to it, is to wipe the phone completely (use search on how to task29 the phone), and reflash windows ROM and radio. then place the android files on the SD card as instructed and your done.
do not ask how to do all this, and hope for someone to write out a big long how to.
go look it up. thats what search is for.
i myself have a AT&T sim card now and would like to use it on the phone but i bought it from tmobile and now 20.00 less will hope to use the sim card on this phone. But when i put the card in no code or anything is asked of me with the hd2.. can some one help me please.
Use File Explorer in WinMo, navigate to the /Windows folder, make sure "show hidden files" is enabled, and tap the file called SIMlock (or something else very similarly named). It should then prompt you for the SIM unlock code, regardless of whether there's a SIM in there or not. If that file is missing or doesn't work, flash back to a stock ROM.
Sent from my HTC HD2 MIUI using XDA App
Hey Everyone
I got WP7 on my HD2, everything works fine but MarketPlace, after two days trying Microsoft Chat finally I got my activation code, now everthing is working fine but I cant get any game or app from Marketplace, I get this error
"Can't get this information at the moment. Check again in a little while"
I have tried everything , reseting, changing time region and location but doesnt work, I tried to get apps from zune , when I get the apps from there it says everything is okay and your application will be installed soon, but nothing happens and nothing will be on the phone,
Help plz
I found the problem , I had to run HTC Connection setup, now everything works fine !
Hey there, how to run HTC connection setup and any advice to get the Activation Code ?
Was that before or after you put in the activation code?

I did both, before and after activation. Have the same message (in German) as stated above. Going to do some research on XDA but if anybody has an idea in between just let us know...
Edit: Ok, here are the tool and the description in how-to make the changes in the registry to change the HD2 to an HD7.

I did them all in order, then got my Activation Key and after activating I did the registry part again and ran the Connection Setup after everything and it did the job
Ah , btw, for Activation Code, u can get it via Microsoft Online Chat support,
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support# First Chat system
but if ur outside of US u need to get a US IP using a VPN then check to see they cant see if ur behind proxies, if everything was okay go to the chat and tell them that u need a activation key they might ask u where u bought the phone just say something, if everything is okay they'd ask u for ur full name and your mobile number which ofc should be a US number,
When he asked me for that I answerd with 1 minutes delay coz I didnt know where to get a US number, then I said "is it necessary to have a US number coz I dont have it at the moment, can I give a international number like a UK number" then he said "I see, are u located in the UK" I was almost there I didnt want to ruin everything he was about to give me the coe, then I said "Not at the moment" , then hye said "Okay give me that UK number" and that did the trick and he gave me the code
But dont forget the best way is calling Microsoft support center in your country, and also for the chat way u need to try different operators coz most of them say u need to call support center and becareful remember the operator names and also use different name and email every time u go to the chat system , I gave them all fake email name and number
Error 80004005
Hi
I have done all the steps (haven't yet wiped the phone) got the activation key working but when I try to install any application I get : There is a problem completing your request. Try again later. Error code: 80004005 or I get: Can't get this information at the moment. Check again in a little while.
Nothing worked and I really running out of ideas. and I really want that phone to work, as WP7 is amazing!
Okay so you have activated ur Windows already , if so do the registry part again and see if it works or not !
I mean this part
1. Download XBMOD Deployer - CLICK HERE
2. In your Windows Development tools you installed earlier there should be an application called "Application Deployment". Connect your phone and open the program and install XBMODDeployer.xap. This extracts the provxml into /My Documents/My Ringtones/.
3. Download TouchXplorer - CLICK HERE - and install this .xap the same way as step 2.
4. Using TouchXplorer copy the file in /My Documents/My Ringtones/ to /Windows/ , overwrite if asked. - Give it time to open the Windows folder it takes a while.
5. Download HTC Connection Setup - CLICK HERE - same as above deploy to phone.
6. Open HTC Connection Setup and setup your network.
7. If your camera setting are not showing, in settings region, change display language to: United States. - this shouldnt affect anything if you are in a different country. Im from UK

I just want to share my experience regarding re-activation of windows phone 7 using the same key.
I flashed WP7 rom on Nand, got activation key from microsoft and using this key activated the wp7 successfully, Due to some reasons i reverted back to andriod (Flashed on NAND). After few days i flashed windows phone 7again and tried to re-activate the windows using the same old key but i was not successfull. Following are the step which i perfomed to get it working
1. Set date and time on you device before activation.
2. Logon on to windows live account and from devices tab remove the existing device from the account. (once you activate your WP7 it will automatically be added in your live devices list)
3. Enter the key and Activate windows .. it will work.
Hope this will help
thanks, I may not need it right now, but I'm planning on doing a fresh reinstall of WP7, I'll let you know if it's working or not for me
I went into zune, and deleted my device. I tried to go into the market and it says try again later. I go into XboxLive and it asks me to log in, when entering my email and activation code, I get an error message, anyone else?
And what happens if you buy a used HD2 that has already been activated for WP7...like I'm thinking of doing. Can you get an extra activation code from M$ or will they tell you to get lost as that IMEI number will already have been used? Thanks !

You can't use the HD2 imei to get a code from MS anyways... they don't support wp7 on the HD2. Find a HD7 imei to give them if they ask for imei. I know a couple I could give you if you need one. PM me if you do.
i've flashed many times wp7 in my hd2 and my first code works always!!!Try it after a HR and also after a wp7/wm6.5/wp7 again...The same key has "reactivate" my leo at last 3/4 times!!

Oh I see, that's why you have to tell them you are calling from another phone? In several activation guides I saw a reference to MS asking for the IMEI but not that you had to get an HD7 IMEI.
Microsoft France never asked for my iMEI to give me my unlock code.
They only requested my name, email adress and phone number. The phone number I gave them was not the one of the card that was in my WP7 HD2 so they can't have recovered the IMEI this way
Sounds good, thanks, all I need is an HD2 now to put that into practice!
I have an activation key but do i need to do the whole chevron thing just to get live services or is that just to sideload non marketplace apps? Im trying to avoid having to install the developer kit because i dont have a spare 3gb!
Your best bet is to use a ROM with Chevron unlocked and then you don't need to install the developer kits or zune on your pc
Just flash a custom WP7 rom with chevron already cooked in, so you don't have to deal with chevron (alot of people report problems)
Then just open marketplace, it should ask for your live or hotmail account. Log in and a window will prompt you to input your activation key.
Voila!
You can also side load apps with Tom's XAP.
Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated.
In order to see the marketplace you have to have your phone recognize it as a hd7,then use the code without the phone seeing itself as hd7 marketplace won't work, you won't be able to see it.

If I'm not mistaken, the custom/pre-unlocked WP7 ROMs that are out there already have the registry changes needed for the phone to identify itself as a HD7. Still, OP should check the release thread/post to make sure.
The new custom, Football and Moonlight roms have been giving me some problems, so i flashed the DFT ROM and everyhting is fine. Downloaded the Dev tools, install Chevron Cert, Run Chevron unlock, run TomXapInstaller, install the apps and copy/paste the file. Easy and no problems so far. No need for regedits if you have an Activation Key, which is easy to get in the UK. Follow this thread for easy use:

Nice DFT and all other Devs who have created this.
Hi guys
I have searched the forum but cannot find anyone with a similar problem.
I have activated my Win 7 but still cannot download apps.
I get the following message when trying to install an app
"Can't get this information at the moment. Check again in a little while"
Any suggestions?
what th f***
now ive got the same prob.
ive already installed some apps but now i get the same message
i tried to download from zune on the pc it says it cant be downloadet becaus of an temporary server problem
i daont think that somthing on my phon is wrong its a server prob by zune
Me too, I wonder if genuine WP7 owners are getting this problem...
have u already downloaded something before?
Yes, and it worked before.
and u dont changed anything?!?
Nothing at all, I only tried because I saw this thread.
yes me to
its definitely a server prob dont worry...be happy
Good to hear. Just activated my HD2 and I was afraid I did something wrong.
Well seeing as it says it can't get the information after it says it was verifying, it does look a bit suspicious :/
for me its working again
i hope for u too
How did you solve this problem?
I'm getting that error message as well.

I have the same problem after activation,too...
The wp7 ist correctly running, only the marketplace doesn't run...
I did an hard reset and the same happens...
When i want to install the programs with zune, zune say, that it is installed, but i can't find the program on my phone...
I have vodafone in germany...
Just downloaded and istalled the IMDb app. Downloaded and installed fine, but won't run. Loads up for about 4-5 seconds and then phone goes back to WP7 menu screen. Any ideas???
If you have JUST activated and it is saying this
have you applied the registry key to identify the device as a HD 7 ?(unless you have a ROM with this as standard)
There is coming the following message:
Access to the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg is restricted.
What could I do?
For you guys having problems with Marketplace, just be sure you made de HD7 tweak (in Settings-About your device must appear as HTC HD7, not Leo70). After you enter the 25 digit code in Marketplace, get the Live ID.xap file (available on the forum) and edit the CustClear.provxml file in it with your code. Then deploy the LiveID.xap to device.
I'm not having any Problems with Marketplace apps.
