[HELP]Cannot Activate Live Services

Hi guys,I recently installed wp7 on my hd2 and I cannot activate the live services.
I follow the Walkthough
but when I call microsoft hellas so to give me an activation code they ask me to call htc.They dont give me an activation code.Can anybody help??Could anybody please give me an activation code via pm?

The only way to get an activation code is from microsoft or HTC and considering how many people have called in, I think they have figured out what is going on. You can be pretty sure that no one is going to give you a code in a pm as the code is bound to your personal informations

thank you buddy...so there isn't any other way so to activate it,right??

[Q] Can an activation code be used on two different devices at the same time?

I have activated my device and everything works fine xbox live, marketplace, zune etc.
The code doesn't seem to be tied to a handsets imei number. however Is it genereated uning information taken from your email address and phone number?
If not then can a single activation code be used to activate a second device where both could then be used to at the same time?

Seems to be working ok for me and my lad who also has a HD2.

Don't suppose you need someone else to test your theory and PM me your activation code
Pretty please

aenedor: Thanks for the info. So have you actvated both handsets using different email addresses but the same activation code?
mcvpjd3: Sorry I have a friend whose trying WP7 now - who may need the code if MS uk stall on issuing any new codes.....

[q] DO i need an activation code?

How functional is the phone without it being activated?
I'm thinking of using Yukixda's rom which is unlocked and everything i just need an activation code which i'm not sure about doing.
Please just tell me what i'm missing out on rather than replying and saying just ring etc i know how to do that just trying to find out what i'm missing out on and wondering how functional the phone is without.
Thanks

The phone will be fully functional (except for the still present bugs in all ROMs).
Only the Live services will not work.
You won't be able to install applications/games from market.
You won't be able to check your hotmail account.

lol so basically then its not great without the account activation

[Q] Some questions about activating Live

So I ordered an HD2 from Ebay, with WP7 installed and activated, however the seller said that he doesn't have the code anymore.
I have 2 questions:
Is the code generated for a Live account, or for a single device?
Is it stored somewhere after activation? If so, how do you get it?

Just call MS support, they will give you one without too many questions (for me it was only phone n° + email). Just say you bought a windows phone, which is asking for an activation code.
I don't think you can get a number back, you have to store it somewhere to be able to use it again. I think it is linked to a live account, which can have more than 1, but not 100% sure about it.

WP7 phones aren't officially sold in Russia, so I don't think I can get the code..

Using Skype, call MS in The United States

Hey guys, I called Russian MS support, and they gave me the activation code!

activating in India
Could you please tell me the toll free number for activating in India?

Go to MS website, look for contact at the bottom, then by phone.
You will get a number, maybe not free but cheap
Call them, try to get somebody as fast as you can (usually I press many times '*') and ask for the number of the activation service, which should be a local or free call..

[Q] Are current wp7 roms activation ready?

This one for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
Can I call MS up right after flashing it and ask for an activation code? Or do I need to follow the instructions listed here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911579) first? I'm confused because I saw that the ROM is already unlocked, where one of the steps to activating asks that this be done.
Thanks for your help in this quick question.

activation (Live service) dont have anything with unlock.... unlock is only to load xap (homebrew and pirate apps) files to phone... activation need only to use Live service and Marketplace.... also no matter how you get activation code (chat or call)

Thanks for the response, clears it all up.

So do we always need to do this?
Also when you buy an original one?
Cause I fill in my Live account, but nothing happens...

you need also live activation code (XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX) to enter
only once you need contact MS and ask for live activation code for HTC HD7... and after that you can use this code indefinitely with all WP7 ROM's on same device and same live account

Thanks for your information.
I'm trying to get it now.

It is solved btw!
It is working fine!

Thank you.
