Hi Guys,
I can't seem to activate my HD2 :s
I tried the HD2O ROM, the Tiger 5.0 ROM and the Pdaimatejam ROM, which I all can't seem to activate (message: "invalid activation code").
I contacted MS for a activation code on two separate instances, they gave me in total 3 codes, non of them seem to work.
I used both my own phones IMEI and the one provided by the 'HD7 IMEI generator'. In both instances they gave me two activation codes, but the first activation code in the second chat with MS, was the same as the second code given to me in the first conversation. This suggest, that they don't even take the IMEI into account for the generation of the activation code.
I am currently located in an area without cellular coverage, but with a WIFI connection.
Do you have any suggestions that might help me activate my phone?
Some additional information:
Radio: Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14
HSPL: 2.08
Tried hard resetting?: Yes, multiple times
Dual boot: No, just WP
SD card: 8 GB Kingston

Recently, purchased a Sprint HTC Touch. It has no sim card as far as I can tell. Tried to unlock the unit using two post I read on this forum.
One was using the Qualcomm's QPST method. For some reason Windows wouldn't recognize the unit's drivers when in diagonistic mode. As a result, QPST can't find the phone.
The other method I used was involving Cert_SPCS, EnableRapi, and Touch_Unlock. When notepad popped-up, nothing appeared. No unlock code. Nothing.
Please tell me what it is I'm doing wrong. Also, is it possible to get GPS on my unit? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hey man,
Welcome.
Sprint and Verizon wireless use CDMA technology for their wireless radio; while AT&T and T-mobile use GSM. CDMA does not use SIM cards, but instead has an embedded serial number to identify the phone to "the carrier" called an ESN (you got it "electronic serial number"). SIM cars are not exactly equal to an ESN, but carriers use the two to identify the subscriber.
What is your goal? The Sprint Touch aka HTC Vogue ("HTC Vogue" = CDMA version of the "HTC Touch") is already application unlocked.
First Attempt At Flashing
After posting, I asked myself that very same thing. Been doing a lot reading of various post and decided flash my rom for GPS/Rev a using what i've learned involving the the work done by ImCoKeMan. Appears to be a safe thing to do as a newbie without seriously damaging my unit. I have the files necessary to do the flash. Will try later in the day when I have time to devote to the process.
Are there any last minute tips I should be aware of before getting started? Every little bit helps.

If you are using Sprint, all you need to do is download and run the ROM found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403016) in Windows XP, or extract the 2.NBH and rename to VOGUIMG.nbh and run it from your FAT32 microSD card (2GB OR LESS, do this by holding down power/camera/soft reset). If on a Mac, do NOT run it in a virtual machine! (Parallels, VMWare)

Agreed, but keep in mind he has to use a windows machine to initially unlock the phone. Preferably a windows xp machine.
Now using a sprint rom, you don't have to unlock the phone, so the above method should work fine and dandy. Make sure you have atleast 50% charge on the battery.
If you want to use a custom ROM, i suggest you unlock the phone using a windows PC. (u only need to unlock once)
First Time Flasher
Thanks for your replies. Believe it or not the responses I've been getting are the answers to the very questions I've been searching the forums for. I've decided to not use a custom rom for now. I'm just going to upgrade my Vogue to Rev. A/ GPS. I am running on Windows XP. That should help.
I was reading ImCoKeMaN's post on PPCGeeks. Step 1 says to download and flash the your carrier's official rom. Then in step 8 download the RUU. So I guess I still need to learn more about flashing the unit as described in step 1. I have the rom to do it with, but hestitant to do it just yet. Am I making too much of this? How do I flash the stock rom onto the unit before proceeding to step 8?
1) Hook up phone.
2) Let activesync/windows mobile device center load.
3) Run ImCokeMan's Unlocker (follow instructions closely... you'll need to stop before the last step).
4) Load the new Sprint ROM (unsure if this ROM has the GPS active).
5) Either stop or load another ROM
To load another ROM, if it comes as only an NBH (basically a rom file), you can download ImCokeMan's RUU (HTC ROM Update Utility)
Custom ROMs really bother me. They're loaded with garbage (which I can load myself thanks ). I just loaded SBR_L3GION's Stock v2 ROM last night. OMJ is another popular ROM "cooker" (I'd load Sprint Clean) (i've sure you've seen "cooking," "kitchen" etc thrown around now, "chef" is also used).
Just a quick note, I load edup TomTom6 (although 7 is leaked, it won't load on the Vogue) and it didn't find the GPS. In order to use the GPS with some programs, you need to "prime" it (wake it up); which you can do with Google Maps or other software (the COM port is 4 and the baud rate of the GPS is 4800; note that the GPS works through the Windows Mobile GPSID). I'm searching right now for a good primer that is a primer only not a full blow program.
Here's what else I've got going:
1) TomTom6
2) Google Maps
3) Pocket Player
4) S2U2
5) Cube Config Tool
I might load NinoGPSPlot, which is pretty cool.
I came across a GPS Primer called AstroGPSLauncher, but it doesn't seem to work for TomTom6. I'm checking out the GPS - How To right now.
[edit]
I found GPSToggle.
bigflavor put it very simply for you! When I first decided to flash I had all sorts of worries, and then when I finished, I thought, man that was simple! So, as a personal suggestion to you, make sure you read so much info you need tylonel!!! For the most part, as long as you follow the steps, you will be good, even if you think you messed up, there is about a 95% chance you can recover. If you have any questions about what your doing, feel free to post, we are all here to help! Trust me, I know it can look confusing at first with all the different terms used.
HTC Touch Sprint for U.S Cellular
I am able to get the spc code by getspc. But how do I load the PRL for U.S Cellular on the HTC Touch? I am new, it took me two days to get the spc.
hey thanks TheChampJT for those encouraging words
I recently purchased a HTC Touch Sprint only for $90 in very clean condition and with some accessories too isn't that a deal to mention....
So now I am in India where CDMA service providers (eg. Reliance, Tata) also have sim cards and handsets without sim cards also.
can you please guide me how could I use this handset (first unlock offcourse) with my service provider.
Thanks
hello,
i have a htc hd2 arriving in a few days. it's already been rooted, has magldr 1.13, hardspl is 2.08 and Clockwork recovery 4.0.0.0 installed, and the radio is 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14. it already has a custom rom on it (a 2.3.4 rom from this forum, i think).
now - i'm curious about windows phone 7. i intend to wipe android off of nand, and install a windows phone 7 rom. but, i also wish to dual boot, with an sd build of android 2.3.4. there are several youtube videos (including one by a member on here - i find his videos very helpful) on youtube, detailing how to install a windows phone 7 rom on the hd2 - that i can do fine.
after the windows phone 7 rom has been setup etc - thus erasing android from nand, do i then have to start all over again (installing magldr, clockworkmod, radio and hardspl)? or is the hardspl and radio 'permanent', meaning i only need to re-do magldr and clockworkmod.
next - about activating live services - does this thread's procedure still work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911579 and for unlocking/jailbreaking, is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916478 still relevant? or should i use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912218 to unlock my hd2?
oh - and, when i ring up microsoft support to obtain my activation code for my hd2 ... er, 'hd7', is it likely the microsoft employee would check the phone's imei - thus finding out i in fact own a hd2?
that's all the questions i have for now - as far as i'm aware. i'm sorry if i posted this in the wrong section - but it seems to be the correct one. thank you very much in advance.

My story (today):
After spending time to find the number, I called MS-France today. First I had a generic service which gave me the number of the activation service. I called it ( 0805110235, free in France), it was the software activation service, so they forwarded me to the right WP service. I just told the girl I bought a new Windows phone which is asking for an activation code, she asked me my email and a phone number, and that's it, nothing more.
BTW the people were not very nice, they don't listen at what you say, I told the 2nd girl 3 times it was for a windows phone, not a software before she stopped asking me a stupid question, same for the WP-girl!
Anyway, don't worry, just call them, you need 5-6 min and done.. You can even do it without having your phone, so it will be ready when you will have it
As it is my first WP7 flash today, I will let other people answer for the rest, good luck
as far as your activation I know that all you have to do is tell them that your flashed your phone and they will generate a 25 digit code for you I don't know about europe your clw will not work off sd card use titanium magldr is all you need 1.13 is the best I have found so far do not overclock your android it will cause heat problems check out isiaha 2.3.4 builds they're compact and smooth last thing make sure your wp7 side is larger when partitioning and make sure to set as primary mine hd2 has wp7 mango, android 2.3.4, ubuntu all running smooth good luck and best wishes

I'm doing exactly that, WP7 Mango flashed to internal memory and AmericanDroid CyanogenMOD-7 (based on Android 2.3.4) on SD.
It all works well...as long as I remember to remove the SD with Android on it and put the WP7 dedicated SD back in before I boot WP7.
If you want help with both ROMs, just PM me and I'll help you. I also will say, you need to acquire an activation code to get full functionality from WP7. And you will need a dedicated SD card...preferably a minimum of 16GB.
For the activation code, see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920726

I am interested why you don't partition your 16GB card and let WP7 and Android use it. And why only 1GB for Android?
thanks very much jinge and stricklanddoyle for your reply in regards to obtaining my activation code for my hd2. MartyLK - you have a pm incoming. i too am curious as to why you don't let both windows phone 7 and android 'share' the same microsd card - do you just like to keep things separate?

Hi
I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 and I try desperately to put sim cards from other carriers and foreign (French) sim cards but nothing works. I always get a guy's voice saying something like "your account has not been authorized for this type of call"
I have done all the possible "unlocking" of the phone, but I'm not sure what it really means:
-I have made the procedure where you get to the hidden "service menu" type "debug screen>network lock>..." (btw my SHA256 was already off, whatever it means. No change here.) (I had to downgrade the radio)
-I have successfully done what was indicate in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415587 with the "unlock" software, at that point the phone was not saying "invalid sim card" anymore (thanks, Autoprime!)
-I have rooted my phone, clean installed a new rom (I put negalite, quite cool)
-I have obtained my unlock code from Sprint, but I've never been able to use it. If I type ##
Code:
# I get to a menu where I prefer not touch anything
I don't know how to make sure that my phone is able to support GSM. How can I be sure? It has a SIM card slot but I'm not sure what that means (and on Sprint the phone works without the sim card). I'm going to Singapore in one month and I would have liked to use local sim cards.
That's a lot of questions! But I'm really lost here, and I don't see any post that seem to help me...
Thanks

Good,
I have been around for 3 weeks with this "big" terminal. Until yesterday, it has been working perfectly. Suddenly when I turn it on I get the following message:
Type unlock SIM
It is as if the terminal had stopped being free and needed to be released, I tried to put the SIM in both slots (MicroSIM and NanoSIM) and the same thing, I have also tried to insert the SIM of another provider with identical result. I put the same cards in another phone (MI4) and they work perfectly.
The terminal I bought it in the store Gerbeast and comes with the global ROM 8.1.2.0 (MBEMIDI), has not given me time to unblock it or anything, this is how I take it out of the box.
Does anyone know or know what this may be because of this and how to solve it?
Regards!!

Just give it your MI account password and it will unlocked. It's a security measure by MI, which is required when you change sim card.
