[Q] anyone kind enough to share his live key??

The key can be used multiple times, so it would be nice if some people are willing to share. I can't get a key at the moment because the lines are closed but I can't wait to try some stuff out. I would really appreciate it if some one can send me one in a private message.

+1
any generous souls reading this?

i thought there was limit on the number of times the key could be used?

Which country you're from?

from what I've heard the key can be used 3 times, do It seems like no one wants to share their key. I thought better of this community

I'm just giving you this as a warning, I got the activation code about one hour ago by calling MS customer support in US, after I activated with the code I could login with my Live ID but then I realized that the softwares I installed using XAP like HTC HUB, YouTube, Flashlight, ... were not working anymore and it gave me an error like this app has been provoked by MS please uninstall it, so don't bother getting the activation code.
You won't be able to download app from market place after activation and I personally think that they're marking us out by giving out the activation code so easilly over the phone!
EDIT : First I had to change the name of the device from LEO70 to HD7 and then activate wp7 by the code, sooooo it was my mistake and now everything just works fine including the marketplace but I had to uninstall and reinstall the provoked apps.

h?ow did you change the name of the device?

Just follow the guide for activating live on WP7 Rom...and your device name will change itself(well for me it did so I assume it will for all) and then call MS and get the activation code.

That just changes the name.
You need to change the Model name and you can't just do that.

follow the instructions well and it'll change it to HD7

You thought better of this community? First the key is supposedly tied to your Live ID, so thats a no go there. Also, 3 times is a very small amount, if something goes wrong with my phone and I need to re-activate it once or twice after the first, then I sure as hell want to. If you want a key so bad get one your self like everyone else, or go buy a real certified Windows Phone 7 device. Besides, I can almost guarantee the first or second OTA update will most certainly kill this exploit, even if the HD2 isn't able to receive it.

Totally agree!!! Do the work yourselves....
It took me a 5 minute phone call to get an activation code from Microsoft. No questions, no hassles. MS can't just track you down via e-mail or your Live ID. There are Data Protection Laws.
Microsoft only go after the 'big fish'
Don't worry. Just do it and enjoy Cotulla and DFT's awesome port!!!!
A middle finger to the people who said 'it will never happen'

[RQ] Microsoft Activation Code

While reading all the great threads about WP7 I found that there are quite a lot of people that are not able to get in touch with MS, and they keep on spaming, trying to find one. So here's my idea: do not do this. Just ask here and if there is someone who can help, he could PM you.
So I'll be the first one. Anybody could help me?

Just phone them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't! It would cost me more than my monthly payment, and the skype connection so f***** up!

Jesus. You DON'T need to call MS in the USA. Call your local MS support (should work in all countries where WP7 is officially launched by the local mobile operators!) and they will give you the code. I'm from Bulgaria and to my extreme surprise I got the code within 5 min from a very friendly customer support agent on Microsoft's toll free 0800 number. The agent didn't ask for anything more than my name and mail adress. He even mailed me the code afterwords for future reference

UK ms are giving them out first time. give them a call through skype.
0844 800 2400 choose option 2 and then option 7

Does anybody know how many times we can use this code to re-activate our phone?
Just asking as I like testing this but I want to go back to android soon but just worried about re-activation issues etc.

^ Till now I've used same code to Activate 4 different Live Accounts! So my guess is its Device dependant. You can activate it any no of times as far as its the same device. Thats my guess!

Tou can activate 3 different live accounts with 1 code AFAIK. So you shouldn't be having any troubles with switching forth and back between Android and WP7
A notice to bulgarian users. For Bulgaria the MS number is 08001555 (free from all networks!). Choose option 1 from the voice menu and then tell the operator that you need a WP7 code.

Well I was referring to the same live acount but I guess that sort of answers my question anyway. thnx.
Can I ask though why you used 4 different accounts?

Well first when I activated using my Live account, Marketplace didn't work since that Account was created using India as locale.
2nd time I activated with a different ID, but that too turned out to be from India as initial Locale.
3rd time I created a totally new Live ID and this time everything worked perfectly. Marketplace and XBL worked just fine.
But then I thought of migrating my X360 XBL to this new ID and as soon as I did that, the Marketplace not available for your region error came up.
Finally created another account, activated it again and using it!

Ok I called customer service and they needed my name etc, but then IMEI wtf!!!!!
Can anybody please pm me an activation code????
Thanks

Actually I asked the Agent "If I hard-reset my HD7 p) can I reuse this code ?" And He said "Yes, whenever you format your phone and an error came up you can use this code again just don't give it to any other person" so i assume that the code is valid for My phone (or ID ?) to be used very multiple times but I'm not sure since he didn't mean it directly

Chevron after reflash? Activation Code limit?

I got my activation code a couple minutes ago and decided to swap out my 2gb sd card for a 16gb one. After I popped it in, I had to setup my phone again, which I figured would happen, but then it said something about low storage, so I figured I needed to reflash the rom so WP7 would partition the new sd card in whatever manor it does.
My question is, now that I have an activation code, do I need to run Chevron and unlock the phone again or can I just put the activation code in and start downloading apps? My only concern is I've now used my activation code twice, so I don't want to hit the limit without doing this all correctly :/

AFAIK, it associates your IMEI with your Live account, so it should just work..
I find it hard to believe that the activation code will stop working if you try to use it again with the same live account.

I did reflashm, and activation code worked no problem

Some mentioned it in a thread at one point, but I've read that people have used their code 3 or even 5 times, so I may just be overly paranoid about it haha.

Just tried it and it works fine! Thanks so much man
One last question: Since I put my new sd card in before reflashing, did that mess up how WP7 partitions it when I eventually did reflash? Or was WP7 not recognizing the new sd card anyway since it was put in after the initial flash, causing WP7 to not see it, hence the "low storage" message I ended up getting?

I have used it at least 5 times over. I doubt you will have any issues. Its just the code associated to your account. They dont monitor that, its just a key for service.

I agree.. i think it's linked to your Live ID.. So when you sell the phone, the buyer should get a new key from MS for his Live ID and you can use the same key for your new phone. Correct me if am wrong.

Is this something that will work in a few minutes, or is there something I need to do, like change the reg or something?

can u guys tell me how can we talk with MS service? Cause I fone them already, and they ask me alot of informations: home, fone, IMEI ..... but i m not sure we can use HD2's IMEI or not, cause I told them I use HD7 2nd. So dont have active code T_T
Some1 plz tell me what exactly I have to tell them to get the code.

You need to do the registry hack so your phone is recognized as a HD7 t9292

the support guy told me to place the code at a safe place because i can use the code again if i need after a phone reset or something else
so i think there is no limit

It may depend on who you talk to. I called after I ran Chevron, so in the settings in my phone it said "HD7", though I'm not 100% sure if that makes a difference.
I called, they asked for me first name, then last name, then phone number, and then if I have ever called MS before. They asked what the problem was, I said I'm trying to add my @live email and go to the Marketplace, but it says I need an activation code and I don't know what that is. The woman asked if I was using WP7 and I said yes. She said something along the lines of "Ohhh, ok, that's why you need the code." She said it would take a minute to generate one for me, so I waited a bit and she asked what brand my phone was. I said HD7 and she seemed confused, so I then said HTC HD7 and she understood that. A couple minutes later she read the code to me so I could write it down, then I read it back to her to double check and that was it!
I've read about other people having to give numbers from the back of the phone or other specific details, but I didn't have to do any of that for whatever reason

You do have to hack the registry so your phone appears as a HD7... A lot of apps won't download until you do that. There's directions all over to do that. There shouldn't be any wait time after getting your code. If your phone doesn't appear as a HD7 when you look at the info on your phone, you will get that message when trying to download apps.

seems live id can't be deleted

[20 Jan][Guide]Get unlock keys for your HD2 WP7 in India and other countries!

BUMP: Microsoft again has changed the policies! Chat seems to be working again!
Thanks to members for the tip. I had a little talk with one of the fellow MS employes and he said, actual WP7 customers were suffering due to the policy change. People were finding it frustrating to have to send scanned copies. So, they made it easier.Enjoy!
BUMP: Microsoft has changed the policies! Now they need scanned copy of IMEI number and product purchase proof! If anybody is able to get key by any other method, do post in this thread!
Hello, people!
I see lots of people asking for unlock keys for there HD2-7, just because their country doesn't seem to have the call center. However, I have found that, Microsoft is supporting all the big countries!
If you find this guide helpful, don't forget to hit the 'Thanks' button.
Here is the guide.
1. First of all, you need the contact number of Microsoft call center in your country.
Go here and grab it. http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/
I have found it working for India!
2. Now, I think calls in most of the countries will be answered by the IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System). Most probably, you will get lost in choosing menu options.
3. Simply wait for the last option where the system says that press __ to talk to our technical support person. (In India, you have to type 06)
4. Now, the person will receive you. Tell him your Windows Live Id and all other things. (you need not fake!) And tell them your issue. He may say that you are in wrong section! Ask him to transfer his call to product activation section for WP7. (All this is to avoid getting lost in IVRS menu!)
5. Now, your call will be transfered. Tell the person that you want to activate your HTC HD7! (Make sure, its launched in your country.)
6. That's it! The person confirms your Live ID and gives you the key. (Its kinda difficult though to get 25 characters correctly through phone. Make sure you take down everything correctly!)
7. If step 3 onwards doesn't work (like technical support person doesn't know what you're talking about) tell them the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431699 and tell him that this is I want.
8. Alternatively, you can navigate to Xbox live support and ask them for key. (You have to tell them that you were asked for the key when you tried to access the Xbox live from your HD7)
9. Method of Skype is good but won't work on poor connections. (and most of the connections fall in this category, as far as developing countries are concerned!)
Again, I need your feedback. Comments are most welcome (and so are thanks!) Please, buy me a cup of milk, if you wish! (I don't like beer! )People in India can use SBI net banking. (PM me for account number!)
Hope you enjoy it.

hey akshay! Thanks for the detailed description. BTW i had no issue with activation key as that was butter smooth to get from MS India. As the HD2 now activated, how do you install apps from Marketplace as for me it doesnt download any apps from marketplace.
I tried these methods already
1. Clean install of WP7, activation of Live services by activation key and then logging in to marketplace via both region being India as well as US. It would show message something like "Can't get info right now, try later"
2. I also tried registry editing to as in here. Then tried connecting to marketplace. Error pop up as Marketplace not available in your location.
3. I did regedit on my Windows 7 to access marketplace using Zune desktop, which is a success, it opens and registers my choices, also show that your app will be installed soon, but no app is installed.
4. Finally i downloaded WP7 Desktop Marketplace, i works fine, downloads, as well as deploys apps to my phone but show error in a few app deployment. As of now this is the only work around for me with a few limitations.
If you able to access marketplace and download apps directly to your mobile or by any other better way, please guide me.

I did all as mentioned but as WP7 not officially launched by MS in India, no marketplace availability. Also Zune Marketplace app download issue is resolved, just a few more tweaks required and done. Now I am comfortably installing free apps from Marketplace using Zune. Also have a lot many Xbox Live games but wont post any links here as it would be piracy...no piracy on XDA.

Your problem is clearly related to your Live ID belonging to an unsupported Country.
Create a new Live ID with Region set to US and you should be fine.

Well Saurabh, you really don't need to Skype at all. I know how frustrating it is! As I've clearly mentioned, you can straightway call them and get the key. Also, some users have confirmed to get it via chat support. Please, ignore Skype thing. Its not really for slow connections. Use chat support or straightway fire a call. Looks like you'll have to wait two days as its already Friday and call centers will be open on Monday.
Reply with progress!
EDIT: By the way, call center contact details for India are:
Phone: 1800 102 1100 (Toll free number accessible from Airtel land line and mobile phones
Phone: 1800 111 100 (Toll free number accessible from MTNL/BSNL land line)
Phone: +91 80 40103000

Sorry but I think you have to call Microsoft. I don't think it is any other way. Just call Microsoft and tell them you installed Windows Phone to you HTC HD2 and you need an activation key. They will ask your name, phone number, and your e-mail. Give them this info and they will give you a activation key.

well actually I would call them after You flash WP7 to your HD2 cause I don't really know what the whole process involves of entering the activation key being as I have never done it myself cause I have not flashed WP7 to my HD2. But it is all over XDA and other sites that talk about the HD2 that you have to call to get the activation Key to enable cloud services like market places and several other features of WP7.being that you may have to enter the information to your HD2 as you talk to them on the phone I would flash WP7 first then call. But I have read MULTIPLE POST by users that they called and got the activation key with no problems. I think this is because WP7 is a Microsft product and even though the HD2 is not an official WP7 device, they still have to give the key because you can not fully us the product with out it.
Edit: I toke a look at the Windows Phone development section and found this "[Confirmed working]HowTo actvate your wp7/HD2 Live services". I think you Might find this very usefull.

chat link and easier rom

tho i was able to skip all that activation chevron stuff by installing XBmod_LEO70_ROM_1.03 colors here is the link to the updated 1.04 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
Like the post above me says i installed it first than set up my internet connection (important if not activation will fail) if you had to leave the activation window to set up internet you will get it again when setting up your live account in the email box. the person on the other end of the chat box will be in a hurry make sure you keep him/her on saying you want to make sure everything works right and he has to also know you have successfully activated or he may just decline that key and remember you cant have 2 keys on live at the same time so do not do it it will cut one or maby both off
remember do not thank me i just re direct other noobs like me(semi noob) i do read alot tho Thank every one here who takes time to write these guides and make programs an kernels to flash our phones

i know
it it alright and the only reason i have it is to use netflix and it is on my second hd2 which dual boots android too i would not want to use it as my main phone whatsoever if android was secure enough or could spoof my hd2 to one of the secure androids that come with netflix i would be happy and not think of winmo again i do say wm7 is pretty smooth though from what i have used

just email microsoft customer service, I got my code in this way

Well your opinion "sucks" mainly because there is no such thing as WM7, Its WP7 (Windows Phone 7), which is a completley different OS to Windows Mobile.
@ OP
Go into the HD2 WP7 forum, there is plenty of topics on activation. You can do it via email or chat not just phone.
