[Q] Dutch guy needs some help - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Hello everybody,
Today I installed WP7 on my hd2 and it works great, but I don't know what I have to do now, I can't install apps etc because I haven't activated my phone yet. I've read everything here I think I have to unlock it with Chevron tool? But if I click on 'unlock' it gives an error.
And what do I have to do after that?
And can it give problems that I live in the Netherlands?
Sorry for my dumb questions but I hope someone can help me.

BTTF ROM is already unlocked but mango update mess up this, you must do hard reset to working ok or use unlock cab files... no need to use chevron

When you bought the device,did you have a CD called ROM update utility or something like that? I have it with my Dopod.
hmm no i dont think so, but i can search my hundred cds
I found a cd with varios programms but no rom update utility so far.
Perhaps you could also advice me how to backup the original rom and install it if possible.
I know somebody else with a ameo. perhaps he can help.
Sorry, I don't have that experience. I would gladly help you if I know how. I'm sure there are many developers especially the ROM cook who know this like the back of their fingers. Come on, give this your guy a hand.
Check Mahmoods page here - http://mahmood1.com/ameo_athena_htcx750_WM6_ROMs.aspx
He has a list of available Roms near the bottom of the page.
Thank you for the link, i downloaded the tmobile rom but it didnt work i think because its not german.
Wrong vender id error. I need the original german rom to restore my machine and i think then i can update it.
Any german guys reading this? Somethere it must be avaible. or can somebody tell me how to extract rom from machine, becaue a friend of mine has the ameo too.

[Q] "uh, oh" -.- ... XDA gods! hear my call (pls)! :D

hello everyone.... i have problem with unlocking my hd2(wp7) ... problem started on chevron. I activated wp7, made partnership with zune, installed cers on my device, problem started when i wanted to unlock my device. I runned chevronwp7 and when i pressed unlock it says "uh oh" message ( sorry i have trouble communicating with ur phone make sure it is connected to usb and make sure zune is running) ....
so if anyone knows this problem, pls explain all about it(market, chevron, xbox live, zune sync), so lost souls like im can understand, it would be realy helpfull thx ! cheers !
First of all i would like to say LOL! Funny Title..
Second: If you have problem Unlocking your phone please flash those custom Roms that have the Unlock hack built in! You can find them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938083
Just flash the 2nd one and everything should work just fine!
No need to Unlock your phone with Chevron anymore.. just flash and play!
Haha... there are really some specialists who have god-ish capabilities when it comes to our phones...
Now, concerning your issue, I would suggest you simply install the "custom ROM" which is offered by one (some?) of these god-ish people - because all the Chevron stuff is cooked into the ROMs...
Go here, download, and flash like you did the first time... I took moonlight, very decent WP7 ROM.
All you need is the activation code if you want to use Live services.

[q] is it possible to do carrier unlock?

Hello,
Sorry if this is stickied/posted or doesn't belong here but I can't find anything. I just recently flashed a Windows 7.5 rom on a HTC HD2 that's locked to T-Mobile, so I purchased an unlock code to try and use it on At&t but it doesn't work. I added the APN settings and nothing. Is it not possible to unlock? Does it need to be unlocked in Windows 6.5 stock state?
Rom Installed: [v4 Final Version] CTRLPDA FSM HD2 Mango ROM [03.01.2012]
FYI - Unlocked Sim Pin was also accepted but it still says no network found.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
carrier unlock can be done only in WM6.5 by unlock code

I wish to confirm this.
My friend tried to unlock with windows phone 7.5, but it would not take. It showed 'unlocked', but it did not unlock.
Went back to wm6.5 and it was OK. Then reinstalled 7.5 and it remained unlocked.
It was a lot of work really because a lot of time was put into the project in the end - trying to figure what was wrong with 7.5 then going back to 6.5 and loosing all the settings etc. So be warned!!!

settings from apps and games you can backup and restore with Windows Phone Device Manager v1.7.0.0 (unfortunately not work with public v1.8.0.0)
edit: new WPDM v1.9.0.0 working very fine
Thanks for helping out guys.
Another thing...can anyone confirm whether a custom 6.5 rom will work? I previously had an Energy rom and was wondering if it could have been done then?

yup unlock works fine in wm, to save yourself time have a wee search or failing that ask, could have saved you some time =)

[Q] about tango - downgrade - unlock - upgrade

Hello everyone,
I hope you can help me as I haven't found an answer on the forum yet.
I've got a unbranded omnia 7 16gb updated to Tango and never unlocked. I can have a student dev unlock or interop unlock but I've read that the first is limited if done after Tango update, and the latter cannot be done after the update.
I would like to unlock to be able to install SMSbackup to export my sms and I don't understand if this is possible with a dev unlock applied on a tango updated device.
I've read many posts and I'm quite confused about why it is different if the dev unlock is done before or after the mango/tango update.
If it is not possible to use SMSbackup on a tango dev-unlocked phone should I downgrade restoring the zune backup?... but i would lose all the text messages that I got after that backup, is this correct?
Is there some other way to have the phone unlocked without losing the text messages?
Thank you in advance,
Iaia

the problem is, is with the tango update, the unlocked phone, without an official dev unlock get relocked (if you don't take precautions, search the forun),
is you have an official dev account there should be nu problem, you can then sideload WP7root tools, and install smsbackup, give it root and use it
I hope this answer is helpful

Thank you daddyrazzy! Looks like I've got one more problem.. I've registered and got a student account on dreamspark but when registering on app hub, is asking me credit card numbers even if I don't have to pay anything! This is really annoying!!
So I have no way to get those text messages out of this "smart"phone...
:crying:
