ok, so i got an activation code for my HD2 (er, i mean, HD7...) via chat no problem.
but, it says i am in China, which i am not (although i do go there sometimes, my wife is chinese)
i think i should have used my vpn to put me in the UK.
so, how can i remove the activation code and enter a new one?
(i was hoping not to have to reset)
Did you try and remove your E-Mail? Try and delete Windows Live Account on your device and load it again with new Code. But be aware that you'll have to sync everything again =P
first of all, your activation code has nothing to do with the country setting. you choose that during set up. 2nd, you cannot remove the activation code by removing your live acct. 3rd, you cannot remove your live acct associated with your phone/activation code.
you have hard reset to re-enter code.

i didnt think i could change the country code when i was setting up. it can only be linked to my ip.
are you saying if i reuse the activation code on a clean install i can change the country?
anyway, i used Market Select to sort-of change the location and i have sideloaded the apps i wanted anyway.
hard reset, huh? WP7 and M$ sucks big time

I heard someone else had this problem. When you change your password online, it doesn't update to the handset cos it is disconnected for security reasons, and so it is still looking for your old password.
Hard reset it, when you log back in, your contacts and calendar etc will re-sync automatically, and all the apps you installed should be in the my downloads sections of the market.
The moral of the story is:
If someone can break it, they will, so turn all the security features OFF before letting friends play with your phone!!
hey guys i have a problem i first had wp7 with an activated live account and then i went to android deleting and formating my sd card now i have installed wp7 again but i cant seem to log on to my live account it asks me for the activation code i still have my old activation code but when i type it in it rejects it it says it is invalid is there a way i can get my old live account running again because when i go to my hotmail i can still see my under the catagory devices my phone
what should i do should i call them again and get a new code could it be that my activation code just got banned or something
i bought a phone off the internet and it says enter password to unlock is there a master code so that i can get into it?
Is it MT4G? Also how do I know that you didn't steal the phone? There are ways to bypass logon password, sim password, pattern sig. Send me the proof that you bought it and ill tell you howto bypass. I don't really wanna help thief's or folks who found other peoples phone and don't want to return it.
I'd say not to help, because they would have contacted the seller for the password and also nobody would sell their phone without doing a complete wipe, which would have also removed their password. My bet is that it's stolen or that they bought a stolen phone, either way it was still someone's phone being stolen.
Ya man I had dev-hd2(leo1024) stolen last year on Dec2010. I even left the kid message and voicemail saying I would pay him 600 cash if he returned it. I have massive amount of data on it and it was fully customized by me. Most damage was business phone numbers which I lost and till today I don't have those contacts.

Do you have a google account? Your contacts should have synced to your google account, so you should still have them, just log in to Gmail on your computer.

This was on Win6.5.X 29XXX base and no google/tmob sync enabled. Other than Android none use it nor rely on it as it was my pure dev phone. Was at the bar with gf and lost it didn't even have gps or remote wipe installed as I left in hurry right after I flashed new COM build.
TmpUsr, T-Mobile even has a contact backup app. I rememebr my Shadow running 6.1 had that app. Either way, Backing up should be followed religiously
TmpUsr...did you check your tmobile my-account contact manager?
My contacts were backup up there without me even knowing!
I keep an app called Seek Droid for this occasion. If it gets lost or stolen I can enable GPS from my phone and track it down or even wipe the phone or SD card. Can also get recent call lists. Of course its pointless if they happen to find the program installed but its not listed in the menu so they would have to look for it to find it, which the average thief would not do.
Hi guys,
Do you have to re-enter the activation code once you update WP7? Or it's a one time thing.

If your live services are working properly then you don't have to re-enter the activation code.If not then you have to re-enter it; yes.
Yes, you can.
I hard resetted mine two times. And the code still worked.
The activation code is connected to your live account. So you can use it unlimited times but only on the same account you've used it first time. It works unlimited times, but you can't use it on another account.
So the last time I tried selling my phone, took the cash from the guy and he left, he didn't have time to test the device at my place that it's working and he didn't bother since it's in brand new condition.
Next day while I'm at the movies, he calls me and tells me that the phone is asking him to sign in with the account that was previously synced to this device so he asked me for my email and password. My mistake was, I changed the password to something easy then gave it to him. He then tried to login but it would tell him to sign in with the account that was previously synced but this IS the account. That's when I learned that I shouldn't have changed my password as it would lock the device for 72 hous.
Now that the 72 hours have lapsed, I was able to login to the phone using my email and new password. But how do I sell it? how do I remove all this protection BS and make it in such a way that after a factory reset, the new owner can login with his account?

I am not sure if this is correct but I think you need to enable OEM UNLOCK.
This is accessed in developer options. You can enable developer options in settings. About device. Software info. Then tap on build 5 times to enable go back to settings and you should see developer options. Inside you will find OEM unlock. Let me know if it helps

thanks, I did that, just making sure there isn't anything else I needed to do
I think you have to remove FRP if you set it up in the first place. If you can remove that, everything should be fine after a factory reset.
