It is very interesting that no matter which cooked ROM i installed on my HD only free applications are displayed in market place. I also tried to browse the application in the marketplace on my PC and it shows all applications including all free and need to pay. However after i login in with my live ID then only the free applicaiton is shown. I doubt that the Marketplace may detect my mobile model no and prevent from showing those application that need to purchase if the model is not on their list.
Anyone knows how to crack it?
have you changed the drop-down in the top-right to "view all"?
of course I did!!
I wonder if you have to have a Credit/Debit card assigned to your Windows Live ID for it to show paid-for apps. I had an Xbox Live subscription before I ever logged in to Marketplace, so my Windows Live account must already have a flag against it showing that I have the means to pay for stuff. It seems a bit stupid that they would do it this way, but that's the only thing I can think of that could be causing it.
could also be a regional thing ms may not have rights to sell apps that way in all countries
recall similar things with other pay services
Hi all,
I have successfully activated WP7 on the HD2, but I made a critical mistake:
When I created my Zune account, you have to fill in your country/region. I filled in the Netherlands. But if you don't fill in a supported country here, Marketplace won't work, because you CANNOT change the country of your ZUNE account.
You can change the country of your live/hotmail account, but that won't help (and you will get an error in zune).
My question now: Is there any way to change my Zune-account/create a new Zune account on the same Live ID?
If not, when I hard-reset my phone to connect it to another live ID, do I have to call MS again for an activation code?
Same problem here. I think I tried just about everything.
I think the only solution is to hardreset the phone and setup a whole new live-account and call again with microsoft for the activation code on the new live-account
If there's anyway to solve it, please share it
I think you can revoke your Live ID from your phone on your Windows Phone page (on this one you can make ring your phone, erase your data or even block the phone). I don't know the URL but I got the page navigating Parameters>Locate my phone menu
Let's give it a try
I've done a reset of the phone and connected with a brand new live-id. I called Microsoft to get a new key, but without succes. The guy told me I had to go to HTC. This morning a lady helped me very well.
So I tried the key i got this morning, it worked perfect! Only problem of course is that i have multiple e-mail acounts on my phone. I'm not really sure how the connection with SkyDrive is, but I think I'll have to upload my photos to my new live-id.
Do you guys think MS will just give us a new activation code if we just tell the (partial) truth? So saying we want to change our Live-ID on WP7?
Because this issue is not limited to HD2-users, but also to "normal" WP7 users that want to use the market in countries without support.
You don't need a new activation code. A single code will work fine for multiple activations.

I think the URL is windowsphone.live.com, but I can't revoke my ID there. It still won't solve my problems if I could, because I want to revoke my ZUNE ID, so I can set it up again...

Even with a different Live ID? And within 30 days?
Ok guys, I can confirm it works!
What I did:
1. hard reset the phone
2. create a new Windows Live ID, based in the USA.
3. connect the new ID to Zune, say you are in the USA.
4. set up the phone, without windows live, but with another email adress
5. do the whole unlock-thingy including the registry change to HD7
6. Activate your phone with the new live ID and the old activation code.
Result: a fully functional WP7 phone.

That's the easy part. Now try to connect your non-US credit card with your account. You can't.
Or somebody found a solution to that?

If you have an European Credit card, create a UK-based live-ID instead of an US. The Credit Card should work, just make sure you use an existing address (they will never send mail, so just pick one).
Nice, but I already have US account. Changing it to UK seems to be impossible. Screw that multiple accounts. I dont wanna buy apps with dummy fake account since there is no way how to transfer these apps to my regular account (which I use for everything actually - mail, contacts, calendar) later.

Nope. It won't work unless the billing adress of your credit card is in the UK. But then again you would have a UK credit card
That's right. I've tried to register 3 different cards (2 VISAs and one MasterCard) and none of them is accepted not only in US, but also in UK. I even bought a VPN access to have an IP as coming from US, but no luck

Hard reset or only flash new/same wp7 rom?
By 'hard reset' is mean 'reflash the rom' right?

yes, you can do it on 2 ways,
1. go to settings -> about -> reset your phone
2. reflash the rom using MAGDLR etc.
both have the same effect.
Guys, if you know, if I delete my microsoft live account and then make the same one, with the same address (I am using a google account), will I have to ask for a new activation code from microsoft or can I use the one they sent me in the first place?
thank you
You try :
1. Install Registry editor
2. Modify any key :
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830 118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}]
"Email"=new your email([email protected] or [email protected])
"User"=new your email
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production]
"DefaultID"=new your email
3. Restart your phone.
4. access setting->email+accounts-> tap to new Windows Live ID -> tap to password -> typing newpassword -> Sign in.

From my experience, the activation code is tied to the device, not your Live ID. I have hard reset my HD2 multiple times and re-activated using the same code for three different Live IDs. I was using a US-based Live ID, then my son used my HD2 with his Live ID for a while, and now I have it back and am happlity using my Australian Live ID - all with the same activation code.
Hi
I recently install wp7 inside my HD2
I'd love to install some apps inside hd2/wp7 but i suppose is really impossible
I install twice ChevronWP7, but after some days had problems with run ChevronWP7, probably MS or zune block it.
If i went Marketplace with WP7 after i clicK Install, receive this message:
Can't get info right now. Check back in a little while
I'm from Portugal, i creaet a US account with Zune, make some changes inside google chrome languages, to have access to Zune Marketplace.
Everything works fine, but after i get some download i can´t receive it inside applications.
I'm so really confused, i have my hd2 activated with microsoft activation key, but i'd love to have, some apps like, shazan, pdf reader, facebook, and some other apps, but it's impossible.
What's my best opption?
Buy a HTC HD7 when Microsoft Portugal have a Marketplace?
Wait for new and stable WP7/HD2 jailbreak?
Forget WP7 inside HD2 and install windows mobile 6.5?
If anyone live in Portugal i would pay to install me "forever" my favorite apps inside HD2/WP7
Waiting for some help, Many Thanks
You actually have several options.
Maybe you just check this thread first... lots of free apps from the marketplace are available as xap. More info in the linked thread.
Concerning your other issues, there are several other threads here. Please check.
Hi Sir
I have all this :xap
Sir, i send to my hd2 e-mail the certification file, run it, run chevronwp7 and install all this software(xap files). After 2 days if i decide to run some app like facebook or weather app, the screen go to white and after 1 or 2 seconds receive a message said, that software is revoked from Microsoft, Uninstall it
Than i decide to run one more time ChevronWP7 to unlock HD2, but "someone" block forever ChevronWP7
At this moment it is impossible to have, facebook, shazan, ip camara, twitter, Fim and Weather more than 2 DAYS.
Zune or something Block forever all this apps
Have you run the registry hacks to change your phone ID to a HD7? That's why it's not working for you.
Read the boards thoroughly first before posting.
Well, I didn't find any thread on this issue, so I started a new one. In my ZUNE software on PC there isn't a Marketplace. When I tried to download Music + Videos extension, there was written THIS IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY OR REGION. So, is there something to unlock this option? Something like Market enabler in Android. Or there is a way to enable this without?
You need to connect zune to an american live account. And you need to search before posting.

Well, I was looking and i didn't find anything. How you mean american? I need to open a new one, like I'm in US?
You can't have searched for very long then, the answers are readily available on google. But yes, if your account wasn't originally registered in a country with marketplace access then you need to make one and set that as your primary account in Zune and WP7. You can then add your original account as an extra one. You also need to change your Windows OS locale to a country with marketplace access.
I have a unlocked AT&T Focus working great in India with Mango updated. I use a Windows Live US account till now to download free apps from the marketplace. I am not able to buy because it is not accepting Indian credit cards.
Now since marketplace has opened in India, i would love to use that for purchase. Unfortunately the US live account is not working in the Indian marketplace.
I did some research and it seems that there is no way of migrating live accounts between regions.
I have read that doing a factory reset will make the phone ask for a live account again so that i can use my Windows Live India based account. But I fear that the unlock may go away doing a reset.
What are my options now to buy from the marketplace without loosing the unlock ?
If you're worried about Network Unlock, don't. Once unlocked, the phone will remain unlocked, no matter what you do (re/flash, hard reset, etc).
Refer to my post here for more details.
Thank you EnderPsp It worked. I did a hard reset using *2767*3855# and voila phone reset without loosing the Network Unlock. Then signed in with my india live ID and purchased from marketplace. Cool

Migration only works where XBOX live is supported. Unfortunately India is not on that list. Thanks.

Hi, I am thinking of buying focus from ebay india.It is AT&T unlocked version.According to your post you have upgraded it to mango.Can you please tell me How to do upgradation.Have you put any microsd card for expantion? Thanks.I am from Bombay
Can you please tell me How to do upgradation.

Just sync over zune. If mango is not showing for you, try the cutting internet off while zune is searching for updates trick. This will take you directly to Mango via few intermediate updates.
Have you put any microsd card for expantion?

So far I have not put any microsd card.
Note : Do sync using your India based Windows Live Account. Otherwise you will not be able to use the India Marketplace. Great Phone. You will love it
My phone will arrive sometime next week.Is there any support for this phone in india from Samsung?if you browse thru Samsung india web site you only see androied phones.samsung has launched new omnia W mango phone in India,but it is not on their site.
Great I don't think Samsung will support this in India. Focus is a US specific model.
