Dummy guide for 1st time user on window mobile phone

"Note for users new to Windows Mobile you will need a registry editor to find and edit files beginning with either HKLM or HKCU and a file editor that can unhide system files. Resco supply both apps and are recommended but are not the only apps out there. All registry entries are in red."

As this is your first windows mobile phone, I would strongly recommend ignoring that 1st sentance, and just enjoy the phone as much as possible. Then, when you know it better and have some idea what you'd like to do that it won't let you, come here and search for things (only ask after searching fails to find anything ).
If you've not had a windows mobile phone before, jumping into editing the registry and modifying system files is a 100% sure way to brick your phone. It's easy when you know how, so take your time and learn.
Other than that, welcome to XDA and the world of Windows mobile

Quite a lot of the registry tweaks can be don't in a user friendly way using a program called BSB Tweaks.The latest version is 1.6, so have a search for it here and install on your HD2.
That will probably keep you tweaking safely for a will.

thks for valuable advice,as now,i have come to understand why do i need to install the registry editor,however,i do not know the history of the window mobile phone,so can someone enlightened if there is any version on the registry editor and where can i get this.
Thank you in advance

There is a beta version of the Resco product you mention, which can be downloaded at their forum. This is the most convenient on your new touch capable device.
Please remember that playing around with registry settings can brick the system. In such a case, you will have to hard reset your device.
Also, I can only second what the other posters already recommended. Get to know your product step by step, especially with registry changes. Once you understand, it is no magic thing.

The clue's in the error message (and the 1st post in the BsB Tweaks thread).
You need to download and install .Net 3.5.
I believe there's a link for it in the BsB Tweaks thread.

Hi,
It's in post #41 for some reason, there's a link in post #1 but that doesn't work...

and this :
Also make sure your phone is using the 3.5 as default and not 2.0. Go here: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Next Change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5.

Snerkler,
Your learning curve is a steep one but let's battle on.
I have just gone to the same thread/post and downloaded the file you should have downloaded. If that's not what you have, go back and download the correct file type. Its a zipped file with a load of other files in it. This type of zipped file is called a cab file.
Connect your phone to your pc via activsync (read the manual, it tells you how), then copy this cab file (do not extract it, just copy it across as it is) to your phone.
Next, open file explorer on your phone (you will find this tool if you click Start at the top left of your phone and scroll down), find the cab file, double tap on it and it will install.
Job done.

And ignore the stuff about editing the registry. Don't worry about that. Just install the cab on your device and then BsB Tweaks will work.

Thanks. Got the .cab file this time. I have no trouble installing .cab files but for somereason it didn't extract first time, therefore I thought I had to do something with all the other files :-/
I've got BsB tweaks up and running now, but it still doesn't seem to function properly. It doesn't seem to have changed opera in the sense that I still can't click links unless I zoom in. I do have the opera link click turned on.
Also when I check the boxes for the programs I want to use rotation for they uncheck themselves everytime I leave the menu. I will have a look at that BSB tweaks thread and see if anyone else has had these issues.

You definitely need to read up on BsB, because you're expecting something that's not correct.
Just spend some time reading the thread - there's a lot of help in there, so don't just skip to the end
Glad you got it running at least

Hi
I read this thread a couple of times and still didn't get it right.
Can you please help me?

No offense but a little bit of reading is absolutely necessary. The way how to enter the registry is already described in the thread you quoted:

completly lost
First day with HTC HD2. Been reading alot of the threads and to be honest i am soooo lost. First smartphone been a nokia user for 10+ years
Want to download a registry editor. Done that. Went to my Laptop; MY computer found my phone; copied it to the phone; But cant find the file.
ANyone please help.
Thanks

I'm not purposely being unhelpful here, but it's where you copied it to!
When you copied it to the phone, how did you do it? Did you do it through windows explorer (using active sync). If so, if you open the same folder (via your PC), is the file still there?
If you go to active sync and select "explore", I believe it opens the "My Documents" folder in the root of your phone (not your storage card), so try there.

On my computer; the phone is coming up as a 'removable device' i then copied the registry file in to 'my documents' (in the HTC HD2) but noting coming up.

Your computer is using your HD2 as a micro-sd card reader in that mode. Unplug the phone from your PC, and your SD card will be shown in File Explorer (on the phone) as "Storage Card"

thanks; do i install in device or storage card?

Come on mate! You have already started a thread regarding your intention to pimp (destroy?) the registry. No need to open a new one each time.
So, try to open the file explorer and search for the registry editor you copied to your phone. If it was a cab-file you will have to install it from the device. If it was an exe-file you will have to install it via ActiveSync from your Desktop-PC / Laptop (in case it is not a standalone windows mobile program).

[Q] I can't get my phone to read as an HD7

I have successfully installed everything for the wp7 on my HD2..I have used the sideload apps with not many problems.. iheartradio is working, etc.. the problem I'm having is I don't fully understand how to hack the registry so that my phone will read as a HD7..so far its reading as LEO70.. i have some apps that are working but my netflix wont work and I cant find a YouTube that works... any suggestions? Thanks in advance...you guys are doing an awesome job with this.. I've gotten this far and I'm a total noob...(before a few weeks ago I didn't even know you could do this stuff)

Did you copy the custclear.prvxml file from Ringtones to Windows using XBModDeployer and TouchXplorer, and activate with MS key?
I think this changes the registry for you without regedit and lets you use HTC Hub apps and download them from Marketplace.

yes. i've installed both touchxplorer and an xbmod deployer and then copied and pasted the custclear.prvxml from the my documents/my ringtones folder to the windows folder but it still reads as leo70 and its activated already

Thats my knowledge all done then, I could e-mail you the zip file I downloaded, think thats done.

then i would probably have to flash wp7 again huh?? i read somewhere that you can only use your activation code 3 times and ive already used it twice so i want to make sure i know what the fix is for sure before activating it again! but thanks for trying!!

View attachment 514565 Not sure how this works but a zip file should be here somewhere, with the files I ran for ID.
There it is. In orange.
No I reflashed my phone 5 times yesterday, no jokes. Activation is good for your phone forever(ish).
You shouldn't need to reflash, just follow the guide from there on, apply all the .xaps, including the "Extras", I'm Pretty sure this is ID change, worked for me at least.

thanks..ill give it a try!!

and just to be sure...cuz im really knew at this.. i open the download and then what?? do i have to extract from a folder first or just deploy straight from the dowload??

What I did was to create a new Folder and unzip with WinZip to that folde, then more subfolders for each element, just to keep track of them.
When you are synced with Zune, run Chevron unlock and keep it open in the back ground. You wont need to re-install the cert.
Run Tom .xap Installer
Then install all the .xaps and copy / paste the file, run connection setup to install the pasted file.
Then check your ID, if its not HTC HD7 T9292, as mine is, then run the Extras bit, for phone reg tweaks.

Well I don't know what was different about your zip.pack but it worked!! I started with the Chevron, then did the TouchXplorer and XBMod Deployer, copied and pasted the custclear from my documents/my ringtones to windows on my phone and then did Connection Settings and sure enough my phone had changed to HTC HD2 T9292...netflix is working, apps are downloading from the marketplace!!! THANK YOU!!!!

hey once you move the custclear to windows then run the connection setup app and your phone will read hd7. the connection setup acts as a installer for custclear. as far as i understand. correct me if i am wrong.

yes dxdy did at the end of the first thread.
@dxdy did you need interop unlock first?

no... i dont do any (interop) unlock....
i installed new memory card and just upgraded to mango final and do hard reset phone... nothing else
procedure is simple
1. deploy DeployProvXML.xap
2. run DeployProvXML from start menu (when automatically close, this is OK)
3. now you can check registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software. there must be DeployProvXML... enter inside and look for key LastOperation. under LastOperation must show "file deployed"
4. exit from registry and under start menu, run Connection Setup (install from HTC app if you dont have it)
5. now go again to registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/DeployProvXML. under LastOperation must show "connection setup"
thats all

Sorry dxdy, which registry editor are you using? touchexplorer is now working but cannot seem to find much in the way of editing.
Registry editor isn't working and neither is advanced explorer

OK, this worked but I have another questions:
1. If I want to change registry I have to create some CustClear.provxml file where is set what I want to change, right ?
2. How can I create the this CustClear.provxml file ?
3. Where I have to put this CustClear.provxml file, inside the DeployProvXML.xap file ?
4. So if I have to put this CustClear.provxml file, inside the DeployProvXML.xap file I have to identify somehow the particular registry modification like DeployProvXML2.xap and in start menu will be also DeployProvXML and DeployProvXML2, isnt it ? How if I want remove DeployProvXML and leave DeployProvXML2.
Thanks for help.
