To get all the Windows Live services working on your HD2 running Windows Phone 7 all you need to do is call Microsoft and get an Activation Code.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431699
They dont even ask what phone you have, although if they do I imagine you would just say HD7?
I rang them earlier to get my code and as far as I can see everything works fine.
You need to have a Windows Live Email address obviously. This method worked for me in the UK but I cant see why it wouldn't work in other countries?
Get the number to call from here :
http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/
If they say Windows Live isn't supported in your country either call and try again or just call the US/UK number over Skype.
To any one getting an Error in the Marketplace, I did this :

Hope this helps somebody!
One last thing, if you haven't flashed Windows Phone 7 on to your HD2, just do it. It is very very cool.
Have fun!
Can you dl apps from the marketplace? I too have succesfully activated my HD2 with a phonecall, but when i try to dl something, it says something like it can;t get the information right now, try again in a while, or so.
Yeah, I still keep getting that. Not sure why. Some people have had success by unlocking it? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127)?
Can someone please share his key with me? I would be forever grateful.

I think each key is linked to the live address, but Im not sure. Even if its not its bound to be one use only. Just call them? They dont bite.

the last part of that thread gives an addition to make to your registry which will identify your phone as an HD7. Try doing this to your phone after getting the activation from MS, maybe the market is checking it against a list of allowable phones or something
EDIT: scratch that, looks like that registry edit just allows your PC and zune software to sync with the HD2
Question, what UK number did you call and what option did you pick please? I went to the activation bit but it was asking for product keys which i'm assuming they're on about Microsoft Windows and not Windows Phone, thanx!

Ah I just called the general help number, I got it from here :
http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide
Yep ignore Product Activation, you want the Technical Help option.
MS gave me a code....all they asked was phone manufacturer.....also having dl issues like above. however i have seen a post on the net that windows live is having some issues
yea i had to call 3 times they dont seem to understand then the last agent found the activation generator and gave me the code over the phone and it worked but i still cant download apps it tell "Cant get this info right now. Check back in a little while"

I called the UK support number, but the IVR didn't have a technical help option, opt 3 was for microsoft switchboard which just gave a dead tone and it said for all other enquiries call back between 8am and 5pm
Could anyone get a key for me or tell me what I have to do?
can somebody call for a activation code for me. this option it's not avalible in my country, they dont support wp7 yet.

+1... please and thank you!
Do you really think someone will call for you? They don't even have your personal information and e-mails, please stop asking people to call for you/send you code. It's pointless.
Nie ma sensu prosić o dzwonienie innych. Zresztą, w Polsce mamy oddział M$ i możesz sam zadzwonić przecież.
i hate to call with such support bobs can we just share one key? Ive read it can be set multiple times?
if i call, what should i say? its a person aint it? not a call-robot? i suggest i'd say its HTC HD7 but what if they ask why i need a new key? normally its included in the buy package?
Is anyone else getting the run around from 1-800-Microsoft? I tried calling them twice, but both times they told me they don't support Windows Phone and that I need to contact my cell carrier.
Is there another number those of you in the US are calling to get the activation code?
ITS ALIVE!
I just called here in the US. the # I dialed was 1(800) 642 - 7676 The 2 men I spoke to where dismissive, they immediately told me to call my carrier Tmobile or The device manufacturer HTC. I explained this is an MSphone problem. I asked him what help would they be? Im not having a hardware or service problem, im having a Microsoft Live account/services problem. They both explained that MS does not have Windows Phone 7 support yet, and again just repeated you need to contact your bla bla bla. I got frustrated and just said thanks for nothing and hung up. maybe ill call tonight and get someone whose willing to help. any other suggestions for numbers to call?
EDIT: Persistence my friends persistence. Be polite, now what your taking about and you will get your Product license activation code. Running 100% on my HD2
Ok finally got an activation key, looks like 3rd time was a charm for me. The first 2 reps I talked to had no idea what I was talking about and said they don't support Windows Phone, but the 3rd guy knew immediately and got me a code within 2 minutes without problems.
I now have Windows Live logged in, can't download from the market yet but it says I can't get that info right now, so I'm guessing it just takes a little time for the Windows Live certification to go through
The key can be used multiple times, so it would be nice if some people are willing to share. I can't get a key at the moment because the lines are closed but I can't wait to try some stuff out. I would really appreciate it if some one can send me one in a private message.

any generous souls reading this?
i thought there was limit on the number of times the key could be used?

Which country you're from?
from what I've heard the key can be used 3 times, do It seems like no one wants to share their key. I thought better of this community
I'm just giving you this as a warning, I got the activation code about one hour ago by calling MS customer support in US, after I activated with the code I could login with my Live ID but then I realized that the softwares I installed using XAP like HTC HUB, YouTube, Flashlight, ... were not working anymore and it gave me an error like this app has been provoked by MS please uninstall it, so don't bother getting the activation code.
You won't be able to download app from market place after activation and I personally think that they're marking us out by giving out the activation code so easilly over the phone!
EDIT : First I had to change the name of the device from LEO70 to HD7 and then activate wp7 by the code, sooooo it was my mistake and now everything just works fine including the marketplace but I had to uninstall and reinstall the provoked apps.

h?ow did you change the name of the device?
Just follow the guide for activating live on WP7 Rom...and your device name will change itself(well for me it did so I assume it will for all) and then call MS and get the activation code.

You thought better of this community? First the key is supposedly tied to your Live ID, so thats a no go there. Also, 3 times is a very small amount, if something goes wrong with my phone and I need to re-activate it once or twice after the first, then I sure as hell want to. If you want a key so bad get one your self like everyone else, or go buy a real certified Windows Phone 7 device. Besides, I can almost guarantee the first or second OTA update will most certainly kill this exploit, even if the HD2 isn't able to receive it.

Totally agree!!! Do the work yourselves....
It took me a 5 minute phone call to get an activation code from Microsoft. No questions, no hassles. MS can't just track you down via e-mail or your Live ID. There are Data Protection Laws.
Microsoft only go after the 'big fish'
Don't worry. Just do it and enjoy Cotulla and DFT's awesome port!!!!

Very well put.
Got sick of all these people pming me and creating posts/topics begging for keys.
I got my activation code a couple minutes ago and decided to swap out my 2gb sd card for a 16gb one. After I popped it in, I had to setup my phone again, which I figured would happen, but then it said something about low storage, so I figured I needed to reflash the rom so WP7 would partition the new sd card in whatever manor it does.
My question is, now that I have an activation code, do I need to run Chevron and unlock the phone again or can I just put the activation code in and start downloading apps? My only concern is I've now used my activation code twice, so I don't want to hit the limit without doing this all correctly :/
AFAIK, it associates your IMEI with your Live account, so it should just work..
I find it hard to believe that the activation code will stop working if you try to use it again with the same live account.
I did reflashm, and activation code worked no problem

Some mentioned it in a thread at one point, but I've read that people have used their code 3 or even 5 times, so I may just be overly paranoid about it haha.

Just tried it and it works fine! Thanks so much man
One last question: Since I put my new sd card in before reflashing, did that mess up how WP7 partitions it when I eventually did reflash? Or was WP7 not recognizing the new sd card anyway since it was put in after the initial flash, causing WP7 to not see it, hence the "low storage" message I ended up getting?
I have used it at least 5 times over. I doubt you will have any issues. Its just the code associated to your account. They dont monitor that, its just a key for service.

I agree.. i think it's linked to your Live ID.. So when you sell the phone, the buyer should get a new key from MS for his Live ID and you can use the same key for your new phone. Correct me if am wrong.

You need to do the registry hack so your phone is recognized as a HD7 t9292
the support guy told me to place the code at a safe place because i can use the code again if i need after a phone reset or something else

It may depend on who you talk to. I called after I ran Chevron, so in the settings in my phone it said "HD7", though I'm not 100% sure if that makes a difference.
I called, they asked for me first name, then last name, then phone number, and then if I have ever called MS before. They asked what the problem was, I said I'm trying to add my @live email and go to the Marketplace, but it says I need an activation code and I don't know what that is. The woman asked if I was using WP7 and I said yes. She said something along the lines of "Ohhh, ok, that's why you need the code." She said it would take a minute to generate one for me, so I waited a bit and she asked what brand my phone was. I said HD7 and she seemed confused, so I then said HTC HD7 and she understood that. A couple minutes later she read the code to me so I could write it down, then I read it back to her to double check and that was it!
I've read about other people having to give numbers from the back of the phone or other specific details, but I didn't have to do any of that for whatever reason

You do have to hack the registry so your phone appears as a HD7... A lot of apps won't download until you do that. There's directions all over to do that. There shouldn't be any wait time after getting your code. If your phone doesn't appear as a HD7 when you look at the info on your phone, you will get that message when trying to download apps.
seems live id can't be deleted

Yep, you're right! Just did the reg hack and everything downloads fine, thanks!
BUMP: Microsoft again has changed the policies! Chat seems to be working again!
Thanks to members for the tip. I had a little talk with one of the fellow MS employes and he said, actual WP7 customers were suffering due to the policy change. People were finding it frustrating to have to send scanned copies. So, they made it easier.Enjoy!
BUMP: Microsoft has changed the policies! Now they need scanned copy of IMEI number and product purchase proof! If anybody is able to get key by any other method, do post in this thread!
Hello, people!
I see lots of people asking for unlock keys for there HD2-7, just because their country doesn't seem to have the call center. However, I have found that, Microsoft is supporting all the big countries!
If you find this guide helpful, don't forget to hit the 'Thanks' button.
Here is the guide.
1. First of all, you need the contact number of Microsoft call center in your country.
Go here and grab it. http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/
I have found it working for India!
2. Now, I think calls in most of the countries will be answered by the IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System). Most probably, you will get lost in choosing menu options.
3. Simply wait for the last option where the system says that press __ to talk to our technical support person. (In India, you have to type 06)
4. Now, the person will receive you. Tell him your Windows Live Id and all other things. (you need not fake!) And tell them your issue. He may say that you are in wrong section! Ask him to transfer his call to product activation section for WP7. (All this is to avoid getting lost in IVRS menu!)
5. Now, your call will be transfered. Tell the person that you want to activate your HTC HD7! (Make sure, its launched in your country.)
6. That's it! The person confirms your Live ID and gives you the key. (Its kinda difficult though to get 25 characters correctly through phone. Make sure you take down everything correctly!)
7. If step 3 onwards doesn't work (like technical support person doesn't know what you're talking about) tell them the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431699 and tell him that this is I want.
8. Alternatively, you can navigate to Xbox live support and ask them for key. (You have to tell them that you were asked for the key when you tried to access the Xbox live from your HD7)
9. Method of Skype is good but won't work on poor connections. (and most of the connections fall in this category, as far as developing countries are concerned!)
Again, I need your feedback. Comments are most welcome (and so are thanks!) Please, buy me a cup of milk, if you wish! (I don't like beer! )People in India can use SBI net banking. (PM me for account number!)
Hope you enjoy it.
hey akshay! Thanks for the detailed description. BTW i had no issue with activation key as that was butter smooth to get from MS India. As the HD2 now activated, how do you install apps from Marketplace as for me it doesnt download any apps from marketplace.
I tried these methods already
1. Clean install of WP7, activation of Live services by activation key and then logging in to marketplace via both region being India as well as US. It would show message something like "Can't get info right now, try later"
2. I also tried registry editing to as in here. Then tried connecting to marketplace. Error pop up as Marketplace not available in your location.
3. I did regedit on my Windows 7 to access marketplace using Zune desktop, which is a success, it opens and registers my choices, also show that your app will be installed soon, but no app is installed.
4. Finally i downloaded WP7 Desktop Marketplace, i works fine, downloads, as well as deploys apps to my phone but show error in a few app deployment. As of now this is the only work around for me with a few limitations.
If you able to access marketplace and download apps directly to your mobile or by any other better way, please guide me.

I did all as mentioned but as WP7 not officially launched by MS in India, no marketplace availability. Also Zune Marketplace app download issue is resolved, just a few more tweaks required and done. Now I am comfortably installing free apps from Marketplace using Zune. Also have a lot many Xbox Live games but wont post any links here as it would be piracy...no piracy on XDA.

Nothing wrong with correct name and number. They won't do anything.
I got the activation code from Microsoft Malaysia. They emailed me the code as well.

Well Saurabh, you really don't need to Skype at all. I know how frustrating it is! As I've clearly mentioned, you can straightway call them and get the key. Also, some users have confirmed to get it via chat support. Please, ignore Skype thing. Its not really for slow connections. Use chat support or straightway fire a call. Looks like you'll have to wait two days as its already Friday and call centers will be open on Monday.
Reply with progress!
EDIT: By the way, call center contact details for India are:
Phone: 1800 102 1100 (Toll free number accessible from Airtel land line and mobile phones
Phone: 1800 111 100 (Toll free number accessible from MTNL/BSNL land line)
Phone: +91 80 40103000

got it man
Great! Happy now! Hope, I helped you.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
How many times can you use the same activation?
I've used mine twice and I want to play on WP7 again, but I doubt I'd keep it for long but I want to know if the code can expire? If so then I'd probably just wait for a Mango update.
Thanks!

You don't really need an activation code. 'Cause theoroticly WP7 is never released for HD2. I even got an code just by mailing the helpdesk, didn't even call them.
If you mean the activation code for WP6.5, Don't really think it has one. Just go to the HTC site, install the HD2 WP6.5 rom which can be found somewhere under the topic HD2.
Otherwise, call Microsoft and supply them with your S/D number. Mostly to be found on the back of the box, otherwise behind the battery socket.
Take out the battery and read it out
i think he has used the activation code for windows phone 7 by typing it in the phone when asked and didn't note it somewhere else. so he wants to know if he can read it out of the already activated hd2 running wp7 to use it on another rom again....
have the same question here could i read out the used activation code from my hd2 to install new rom ??
Me too, I wrote my code down and somehow lost it
I have asked this question before but no one answered.
It must be somewhere on the phone but it may be encrypted like it is on Windows
Think I will try ringing them again and asking if they can give me my code as I have lost it.
If you lost your activation code for WP7, then you cannot retrieve it anymore.
It is encrypted somewhere in the phone.
It is like a password, when you lose them you are ****ed but they are somewhere in the sites core but you can't get to them.
I recommend calling Microsoft again, mailing or even open a chatbox with an microsoft employee.
And wright it down this time
Yea, I chatted with MS after I reflashed and hadn't written down the code, and they simply gave me the same one and asked that I'd write this one down and save it in case I needed it again.
