[Q] Noob guide - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Hey guys,
Whats the best guide to install Windows 7 on our beloved HD2. Currently I am on NAND android and some guides are not so good as others.
SO i ask the HD2 windows 7 community. Whats the best guide?
And what is the latest version of Windows 7. What are the versions?
And does windows 7 roms have EVRYTHING working? like on android?

look my tutorial from signature...
all working but can be problem with SDcards (freezes, restarts, long installations)... if SDcard working OK, no problems
last version is Tango (8779.8)
also you need Live activation code from Microsoft to get Marketplace and Live services working (look in Tutorial also)

this is the rom I installed. And whenever try to install any app from the marketplace, i get the error 8000FFF. I got the activation code from windows support. The live chatting. And i was able to set up the Live account.
So whats the solution?

which region you use? many regions not supported or have limited numbers of apps....
try use GB or USA marketplace but dont forget, when you select region, this region lock to your Live account...

Isn't 3 the limit you can unlock?
I'm having a problem unlocking my DVP and my HD7S
OS version is 8862
I have a paid wp DEV acct. I was able to unlock my Nokia 920 using the wp8 sdk, but i'm getting nowhere with the wp7 sdk.
I noticed that when i open zune, i also get a message saying it was unable to create a connection between the phone and the internet; i've never seen that message in the past.
When i use the wp7 developer unlock tool, it says "unable to connect to phone, please check that zune software is running. . . . . "
I've searched the forum many times and haven't found a solution that works yet.
thanks.

Hmm. Is the device on the same WiFi network? I'm not sure why it is saying that.

Yep, same wifi.
I've tried it with two different DVP phones now.
I have another DVP on the way with no OS updates; should be here next week.

[Q] WP7 activation code in registry.

I apologize in advance i cannot find the forum with similar topic i know exist but i really want to update my hd2 with a newer version of WP7 and gain the ability to do updates but i know if i change the ROM it will ask me for the activation code and i really don't want to go thru the calls to MS with the possibility of them asking for POP.
i installed Registry editor and i go to HKEY local machine/Software/MS/GwpCPC and there is no info. if I'm not mistaken that is the location of the activation key.
Can some one pls help? really would like the latest version. i currently have Version 7.0.7004.
BTW when i try to upgrade thru Zune errors out stating that i don't have room on an empty phone. if there is a way to force update all the way to mango i would greatly appreciate that info as well.
thanks
1. The only way to activate the WP7 with Windows Live is by contacting MS for the activation key. Personally, it is VERY simple. I got my key within 10 minutes. There is also a tutorial here to get it through a chat with a MS representative so that way, you won't need to talk to them.
2. Which WP7 rom are you on? Almost all the custom roms here are now up to date with 8107. You would have to download the exact same custom rom @ the 8107 version and just flash it the same way you did to get WP7.

need help with choosing and installing WP7 ROM

So im using android at the moment and i want to move to wp7 cuz its really smooth and i like wp (plus i heard that there is a skype and whatsup finally )
ok so here's the deal,i need to choose a ROM,so i tought about this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443709
but i dont really know,if you can give me adviced or links to good roms it will be awesome.the rom is for daily use so i need pretty regular one ;p(but i need acces to download things from the marketplace and i heard something about activation codes..wat ?)
secondly i need to know what i need for wp7.. so here's a list of what i have:
1.MAGLDR113
2.4gb sd card
3.ClockworkMod Recovery (250)
4.SPL-2.08.HSPL
5.i think i have radio 2.15.50.14 but im not sure cuz it not showing it ;o
i have all i need?
thank you!
Hi
The one big downside ( well at least some people think so) of WP7.5 is that you cant sync contacts , calender directly with your PC ! So this is something you need to think about before moving to WP7 . Syncing has to be done via "the cloud" so you'll need to set up a windows live/hotmail or a google gmail account.
As for which rom.....we could argue endlessly which is best. Different people have different requirements.
I have been using Pdaimatejam roms ( I'm now on ver 7.8) for a good few weeks now and its working well for me. I suggest you read the threads on a few roms and you'll see what the XDA users think of them.
Activation code. If you want to use marketplace ( apps etc) you'll need an activation code from MS. There are some "other" market place style options but to take full advantage of MS WP7 you'll need to activate it. There's a couple of methods for doing this ( read the threads) I contacted my local MS support and got one within an hour or so via email.
Oh and in general it is a good idea to flash an original WM6.5 first to get your phone back to stock and confirmed working. A "clean" formatted SD card wont do any harm either.
good luck
also try look this tutorial
https://rapidshare.com/files/2232080081/ROM_install_Tutorial_v1.6.pdf
or http://www.wupload.com/file/2677286812
if you need any radio look in my signature
Using Pdaimatejam 7.9, and is working good. The really drawback is the acess to the SD by the PC
umm ok i think ill also go on Pdaimatejam cuz lots of people sayin that it is good and it have a tut
now about the marketplace and live thing,i didnt understand how to activate it and how to get it to work..can someone explane?
get code calling or chat with Microsoft

Like any Microsoft product you need an activation code to use it properly.
You can install WP7 ( any of the ROMs) without it and the phone will work you just wont be able to access the official Market place to get apps
It also wont sync ( contacts / calenders )with windows live / hotmail.
WP7 isn't officially supported on the HD2 so when you call or chat with MS helpdesk you should tell them its a HD7 ( which is supported)
Tell them you have just bought the HD7 second hand off ebay or something like that.
I called them and they emailed me the code 1 hour later. Never tried the live chat option but it seems to work for some people.
Once you have a code from them you can use it every time you install / try a ROM
Good luck
7720 to Tango
I have followed Jayce0oi instructions to install Mango 7004 then 7720 to HD2.
Is there a similar step by step to go from here to Tango 8773(?) as the download is in a different format, .rar as opposed to .cab, or does ...CAB-sender work with .rars also?
Jayce says ask XDA.
Apologies for ignorance!
Hey, I have this ROM and highly recommend it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833 also just follow the tutorial that you can download with the other files.

[Q] bringing this phone GLOBALLY!

Good day guys!
I have this LG GT540(rooted to 2.3.7 cynogenmod 7 ROM by mur4ik) and have been used for more than a year and a months. I bought this unit here in the PHILIPPINES. My question is, can I use this phone in CANADA without undergoing with what they called an "OPEN-LINE" hardware solutions there, so that I could use any network there(SIM CARD) and would fit with the network systems in CANADA?
btw, I have a 2.3.7 cynogenmod 7 ROM and its good! thou it has a few lags and frequent restarts, whats the most stable and great Custom ROM for this unit for today?
Thanks for your responses! I'll Appreciate!
Should be able to, go do some research on that network and this phones radios. I dont think canada has such strict lock down of phones compared to the USA. I think the most important thing is to make sure the phone is unlocked (make sure its not carrier locked im sure its not) if its not locked then its good to go the SDSL and Tejas rebuild of Pcfighter .32 kernel rom is also good! Well they are all better then the one you are using and im sure of that.
Thanks for the help bs828!
Well, I bought this unit in a store branch here at the mall and I'm sure its not locked with the specific carrier or networks here and abroad. They say its Quadband, great thing!
I'm worried cause its in the NEW ROM,which is the 2.3.7 cynogenmod 7, NOT in the Original state of ROM in LG Platform, that would hinder or loose of a Quadband factor in this unit.. hope'll its not
na not likely

A sure way to download Google Maps is to use "Apk Downloader" and download Google Maps apk on your PC then install it on your phone (with root explorer or other file manager). Apk downloader and instructions are available at http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/
