[Q] Some questions about activating Live - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

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..

[Info Update] Latest info update about requesting Activation Code

Latest update:
AM, 17/01/2011
Okay, up to this moment we have first few reports rergarding:
1. In the UK, M$ may ask users to provide IMEI but we are not 100% sure if they will generate Activation code or not to HD2's IMEI (some people provided HD2's IMEI but it was still accepted).
2. If you aren't lucky enough, M$ will require you to ring HTC or your network operator first, as they said that they do not issue Activation code any more.
The conclusion about microsoft's policy on HD2 is still unclear.

@16:00pm today, 15/01/2011; I rang to M$ support call centre in the UK and asked for a Window Phone 7 Activation Code. These are the outlines of my experience:
1/ The operator asked me for my Full name, Email address and Home Address to register to the system.
2/ He asked me about my Phone Manufacturer and Phone Model
(Is that a HTC HD7 sir?. Yes, that is)
Click to expand...

3/ He asked me about the Serial Number of my phone.
as my phone is actually a HTC HD2, so I didn't give him my phone's serial number. Instead, I made up a story why I haven't got that HD7's serial number with me at the moment

.
This is your choice. You can make up a story or you can be honest with M$. Don't judge other people's decisions in here
4/ He said I should have it, but in this case, he will try to generate that Activation Code for me
5/ After waiting for 5 minutes, he was back with the code and he said I should keep this code very safe as this is an unique code for each customer. He also gave me a Reference Number in case I lose my Activation Code, I could ring them this the Reference Number and someone will take the code back for me.
6/ The operator was very polite and all the process was in very pleasant atmosphere.
Conclusion:
People are still disputing if it is legally right or not to get an WP7's activation code from M$ to use for HD2 phone. That is your decision. I'm not having any responsibility for anything happens to you.
I heard that some operator might be very flexible to generate you a code, some others might ask for more specific information about your phone (e.g, my case). I'm not 100% sure if their is an official action from M$ to against this or not. SO do it with your own risk!
Just do it like I did and tell them you don't know what phone model it is, but when you try to download something it asks for a code.
in short, act like a stupid kid, they usually won't deal with you very long.
EDIT:
and you don't need to give them correct information, I gave them information that traces back to a bakery or something, only my live account, which is bogus.
I created a hotmail account with region set to english, then called microsoft support uk and told them I had recently bought an HD7 and it keeps prompting me for some kind of activation thing. Pretend you dont know what youre talking about.
She asked me for my first and last name, phonenumber and email adress. I just gave her my real name, and real phonenumber. Now the thing is, I'm dutch. So I told her its a dutch number, which was no problem to her. Gave her my valid dutch number. Then gave her my hotmail account. She never asked for my adress or serial number.
She then immediatly gave me my activation code, thanks
It was worth a call to england I can tell you, didnt have to wait long either.
What phone number did you use I tried the 0844 just to be told its shut
Thanks
(sent from my Hd27 )
Hallo @all, sorry for that pherhaps Stupid Question but may I say that I have a HTC Mozart (because I have) to get an Activation Code for my HD2? Thank you in advice for your answer ...

As they don't really care about the model we are using when requesting a Activation code, so I assume that it's is ok to register your Mozart with them, and get the activation code to use on HD2.
However, a situation may occur: If you use Mozart and HD2 at the same time, with the same code, the Live system could recognise these unreasonable accesses and block both of them. This is just an assuming, but who knows?
Just called to US Microsoft Support from Poland using Skype, and within about 5 minutes (including waiting to get connected with real person) i got my activation code. I just said, that i got second-hand HD7 and can't get it to work with Live Services ;>
I was asked only for my name, second name, email adress and phone number (and i gave my polish number here, no problems at all). Everything is working now ;>
Does this mean that WP7 looks down eventually? If you don't have activation code?
Come on Look closely at the box of your beloved HD2. You will see the "Windows Phone" logo on it. I guess that's exactly the OS we are all using right now with the phone )))
bet they think theres been some sort of technology leap and all of a sudden people are stupid, if i was at ms id be thinking "why would they have a hd7 if they where dumb with technology, they would have some crappy symbian phone which is easy to work"
if a new release or update from cotulla s released do we need another activation code or it is specified to the email account

The activation code is linked to the email account so as long as you use that again then it should be fine.
Mark.
Same here. Called MS USA using mig33, got a very nice operator, she only asked for first and last name, e-mail and phone no. I have to wait for about 3 minutes then she give me the code
Marketplace is fully working now. Already downloaded 12 apps as I'm writing this ;D
Much thanks for the DFT!
I just called MS in the US. They asked for name, email and phone (just made those up) and was immediately given code. I use another email account, which perfectly worked with the activation code. So the activation code does not seem to be linked to the email provided with the call (as that one I did not use)
yeah im pretty sure they ask for your name so they know what name to call you when they talk to you, the email in case they have to email you the code or any extra info and a number in case they have to call you back in case the call gets disconnected...
Question guys.
i seen posts that you can use the code ever 30 days, so does that mean you have to put in the code again in 30 days? or what?

They ask the email so they can email you the code (i got them to do that different email to my live account too btw)
Your phone number so they can call back later to check that everything worked well and you dont need anymore help, and also to ask how you rated their service.
I think its just very good customer service on their part. I was very impressed!
I was asked for name, phone number and email. Got the code straight away. Next phone might be a WP7 anyway so no need to tell porkies :/
Hi everyone, I just wanted to tell you my story.
Since zune and windows phone 7 are actually the same department i called the zune support number and was able to talk to someone immediately.
1-877-GET-ZUNE (1-877-438-9863)
TTY (hearing impaired): 1-800-801-1189
Hours of operation:
6:00 a.m. -- 10:00 p.m. PST
I talked to one of the reps who was very nice and he knew exactly what i was talking about when i asked for the activation code. He asked for my name, phone number, email address and I gave him my real info.
But then he asked for an IMEI number... I didnt want to give it to him because i thought they might not help if they found that it was invalid for an HD7.
anyways he insisted so i decided to be honest and i gave him the IMEI from behind my battery on my HD2. After a few minutes he gave me an activation code!
No need to lie!
This is actually the second time i've gotten one too as i lost the first one i got haha.
Depends on the operator, I said that I needed the activation code for my phone running WP7.
She was aware about this and told me that she would need my name phone number and email (but never asked on any information regarding the phone). I agreed but she actually forget to ask me my email. She gave me my activation code few seconds later.

[IMPORTANT][TUTORIAL] Local Microsoft Numbers for Activation Code

Hey guys,
i'm proud to say, that I have an activated WP7 HD2, and because we want to help each other, i want everyone to get that pleasure with an activated HD2 like i have. You can sideload apps, what is very cool if you only want to test WP7, but if you seriously want to use is (like I do) it would be better if you get a key. There's no keygen outside for WP7 but it's not necessary, because activate it is as easy as flashing WP7
e too
In fact, nearly every country has a Microsoft central, and to call this central is much cheaper than calling in the USA, but there are much people who beg from other users for a key.
And most of them don't know, that also can search in google for their local MS phone number (or better if I say they are too lazy to do that), so I want to list the MS phone number for each country. (PM me if you have a country that I should add).
If you call such a number (Monday - Friday; 8am-6pm) only wait until someone picks up, don't dial anything. Just say you want to activate your HD7 and they maybe will refer you to another person. Wait... There you say again you want to activate your new HD7 and they will ask you for your name and your phone number. It must not be correct, they don't verify it, it's only for their database. Finished. They generate a new key for you and tell it to you. It's better if you write this key down, because it's too long to remember it ^.^.
The key has 20 digits or letters.
Sample (only random characters, no real key ^^):
B2RTZ
R6ZUH
8IJ7R
12PJU
Enter this key and you are available to sign into your Windows Live Account. Before you can download anything now, you have to make your phone think it's a HD7, there are several manuals, how you can do this, here is one good manual:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911579
If you have done everything you are nearly finished, but there is one point you have to do. Open Zune on your computer and sign in with your Live ID (if you haven't done it already). Enter your country and other details and remember. If you enter a birthday younger than 18 years, to have to enter a second "parents" Live ID. If this step is finished you can download from the Marketplace on your phone and in Zune.
Have fun!

Cheers!
I tried that uk number but it didn't get me anywhere, kept asking me to key in some 6 digit number, has anyone else managed to get there key by calling these numbers?
Plus you would think ms customer services would be 24 hour

I've written the time, when the customer service is available => 8am-6pm.
And you don't have to choose an option when you call this number.
Call the number and don't dial anything... wait until someone picks up the phone!
i just rang, they bent over backwards to get me a key and put me straight through to generate me one. it all failed at the final hurdle though, apparently i need to call back in 72 as they have ran out of keys. darn. UK here.
Guys,
I have also been advised to call back in 72 hours (UK Helpline).
Just to clarify, select options 2 and then 7 and this will transfer you to the correct department.
Hope this helps. Please hurry and get a keygen!
New UK Number
MS have a dedicated WP7 team in the UK, I've just managed to get my activation code from them, it did require an IMEI code.
The number is 02034505855

Keygen won't be available for WP7 cause in the help center they create a random code and register it in their database. Only if they register a code, you can use it.

IMEI? That's interesting. Nice to know.

I GOT AN ACTIVATION CODE!!! THAT IS THE NUMBER TO CALL. MANY THANKS!
I gave my IMEI, postcode and phone model (HD2).
They have no interest on the phone that you are using!

NO WAY!!!!!!!
They are not so stupid! Are they???
lol, I think I'm gonna buy one more HD2(this time, I'll go and get it personally, AFTER I ensure that everything works) and when I install WP7 on that, I can try saying I have an iPhone or some BlackBerry. That would be REALLY funny.
Just to inform all Czech guys, in Czech Republic they are also giving codes without problem. Called, gave email and number and received code in about two minutes without any additional questions. Marketplace works without problem, but its impossible to buy apps, because microsoft probably only accepts cards issued in supported countries. Free aps and trials are working fine and it seems that the amount of apps is the same as in US market.

I was given the phone number 08002848283 to call from Austria, it's a free number too ;-)
Very friendly people there!
Just spoke to a guy at MS Germany and told him at least 5 times that I was installing WP7 on an HD2. "Not a problem, sir, we have a lot of people using the HD2.". In Germany they have to ask if you mind the call being recorded or not, so I took the option to be recorded and made extra sure that I mentioned that I was in fact going to install it on an HD2. Keep my a** covered
I now have my activation code, which took about 3 mins to get. All he needed was my phone number, name and e-mail addy.
Thank you Microsoft!

Seems like their official stance differs from one another, but mostly I think MS couldn't give a damn about us activating WP7 on a HD2

Oops. I noticed that I posted the wrong number, the one above will not work...
Correct number for Austria (maybe Germany and Switzerland too):
0080022848283
Do not press anything when asked so, just let the automated system run 3 times and you will get connected to an actual human person after that
EDIT: I just had the urge to call them again and get myself another code, so now I have one to give away ;-) If anyone cannot get a code himself (Don't be lazy, calling them takes about 3 minutes, just ask when it REALLY does not work), he can have mine!
Just ask me via PM.
Code already given to someone!
I'll call them another time, as often as I can ;-)
today i called to a woman at MS Germany whit accent.
i told her that i buyed a htc hd7 by ebay, and i need a activation code
because windows live ask for it. the ms woman said, you have a htc phone?
no problem! she ask me for my name, phone number, and email adress,
and than she gave me the code.
whether hd2 or HD7 is not relevant. except that one has a HTC!!!
a small tip, used for Germany not the number 01805-672255
but 089 3176-0 which is cheaper.
calling from another country to ms Germany
use the prefix (+49) 089 3176-0
sorry for my bad english

[How to guide] How to activate WP7 on HD2 withouth calling helpdesk.

Now before you read this its not a hack, this is just a legit way and easy way to get a real code.
Since I live abroad and I do not have a microsoft company in my country and helpdesk it is pointless to spend allot of money to call overseas to get a Activation key.
I know there are other like me out there who have the same, or are just to lazy to call helpdesk.
Now if you want to avoid direct contact with Microsoft personal I recommend you mail the helpdesk.
I done this 2 days about and within 8hours I had my activation key ready and my mobile activated.
now how to do.
1. go to http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/
2. choose your country. (under the tab contact information) in my case Netherlands.
3. Click the given link below.
4. Go to the bottom of the site, and click the link Contact Us.
5. Click Email Us.
6. Click Product Sales & General Inquiries
7. Click Product sales and licensing
Attention!
Use a false name!
Same goes for a false Email addres. I recommend you creat a second Live ID, Activation code's given are not linked to that Live ID.
8. Fill in forms.
9. In the commentary box at the bottom of the site, you should wright something concerning about the activation code. That you lost it, you got the phone, a HD7! not a HD2! as a present.
By all excitement you left the box unatended, while you were out for charge ing your phone and preparing it for first use.
The dogs nicked the box from the table destroying all manuals and key codes with in.
10. They will reply and ask for phone numbers and a Live ID.
Give 'm a mobile number, a real mobile number but not yours. Same goes for house phone. I do not know if you can put point 9 and 10 togheter as one.
Go to your countrys yellow page's and choose 2 numbers.
11. They will reply again, with a notification that you may not lose your key again. and ofc. in this mail is your own activation key.
12. be nice and wright a lovely letter in return
I did this 2 days ago.
I had my Code with 8 hours. If you prefer calling then do so. But if you call!
Be prepared they will ask the same things as in point 10. So have already the phone numbers ready and at hand.
Btw, I am just trying to help.
If you guys want to complain about this post then please do it not here.

Yes and for Phone model they do not mean your IMEI number.
And do not forgot say you got a HD7. Since DFT cracked the HD7 WP7.
All those things they asked need to be false. I recommend you do that
A quick tip,
If you ever was asked for an HD7 IMEI.

Thanks to the |OP|
i sent 2 support requests, 1 from the UK and 1 from the US, and both said i need to call (one gave the UK number, and one gave the link to search for a region). looks like im going to have to call them
After 3 times trying to achieve an activation code with MS in the USA with the chat function (3 different BLA-BLA stories...), I've tried this option ... AND IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM!
I made up a different story why I lost my code for the imported HTD HD7, got a mail back asking for my Live-ID mail (created a new one just to make sure) and a mobile number (I only gave them a fake one), the same day I got the code by e-mail and now the Marketplace etc. works!
-- I'm living in the Netherlands --
Thanks for this suggestion!

My experience was very similar. I am from the UK, but spoke with an american representative named "Angel" (she sounded just like Dolly Parton). Angel also asked for my IMEI number. I answered all questions honestly, including saying the device was a hd2. This seemed to cause some confusion, I guess it wasn't on he drop down menu or something, but I explained "I have installed the HD7 software on a HD2, and she just said "ok" and gave me the code.
There's thread about this guys, please don't make any new ones involving how
you got your code.
i can see you don't command fluent english, and you will be surprised that the many who do, don't have the balls to speak up just like you did, and demand to xda that the activation process for wp7 made simpler...
I tried called the Microsoft hotline to request for an activation code and the person replied that he needed a couple of pictures of my phone front and back and a copy of the receipt of purchase. So i asked why did he need it and he told me that there have been a lot of callers requesting for the activation code for their devices when their devices aren't really the windows phone 7 devices,they somehow ported the operating system over to their phones lol

did you have to give a usa telephone number or did they accept your uk one??
I rang the UK number and was put through to a lady who sounded Indian (she asked for first name and then asked for my phone number in case we got disconnected)
She asked how I could help
I said I have installed the new windows Phone 7 OS but it continually asks for activation when I try things like marketplace ect
She apologised and asked for my EMEI and I think my mobile phone number
Then she said what make is the phone, I said HTC and she said HD7 okay (I did not say the model)
Then asked me to wait a minute while it generates the code
Then Gave me the code and asked me to repeat it back to her to make sure it was correct.
Then thanked me for the call
A very pleasant experience
Stop saying them is a HD2
phone 7 activation in denmark
Sent an email to microsoft.dk...yada yada i need to activate my HTC Trophy yada yada...
reply from ms:
mail us your mobile number and we mail you activation key...
Same day an email from ms arrived with a key...
Plain sailing here....
Do me a favor, DM me a key
I tried all possible ways to get the key but to no avail. Emailing, calling, and stalking. None worked.
I'd appreciate if anyone can send me an activation key. WP7 is almost useless without live services. Thanks a million for the taking the time.
Same here I tried calling but they keep asking for my receipt of purchase. I mailed, but didnt get an answer.
On the chat they asked again for receipt of purchase.
I dnt knw that to do could someone please pm me for an activation key. thanks in advance..
Okej,,somehow,,i got the key,,it woked fine,,,i connected my phone to my computer,,and since then i cant get on marketplace on my phone :S

It was a piece of cake for me. I called them and they asked my LAst Name, First Name, Country, Phone number and email address. I got the key in not more than 3 mins.

And if you need any more info. tell them that u got the phone as a gift. It is Tmobile HTC HD7 and you are suprised that it is asking for a activation key.
And keep the conversation going on saying that thats something new and nice. And ask them to give you the key orelse you cannt use ur phone.
And one more thing. tell them that you are calling from other phone.
PM me if u need any help.
I got the activation codes today; simple. But when I tried to install an app I get this message. "Cant get this info right now. Check back in a little while."
Any suggestions?
check your wifi or gprs conuction , i think this is not work.
awesome, I just chatted with microsoft customer care, they only asked for my phone number and that's it. They throw me the code right away! Can't believe it can be that easy ><

You're recieving that error because before entering the activation code you should've unlocked your phone using ChevronUnlocker.

Activate Windows live ID by Phone

Hi Guys!
Just wanted to share my experience when trying to activate the live capabilities on WP7 for the HD2.
I had read all the methods and in fact this is the easiest (or at leas it was for me).
I live in Spain so i called the Spanish Microsoft Support: tel 91 754 70 10
I think the hardest step is getting the phone number, really hard to get in contact with them!!
Once you call you get a machine answer, follow the steps until you get through to an operator, he/she will ask you how can they assist you, just say that you want to use your XBOX live ID hotmail account on your WP7 phone and they will even say to you, oh you must need the 5 line activation code. I said i suppose its that, so then she asked me for my full name, phone number and an email address.
Once given, that was it, she put me on hold for a moment and then gave me the code.
As simple as that, hope it works for you as well!
My only concern now is that if i flash mi phone again, will the activation code stil work for me??
your code work always until you change phone number
Asking for help...

Hi,
is your activation code work for others?
if you don't mind,may I try your activation code?
Thanks,
Ronald
acivation fixed finally
all what you want to do is to call the customer service in usa by skype, it is free like police so you don't need credits to call them the only hard step is that they will ask you about your phone so give them any number in usa and any email and they will give you the activation code, you can find their number by searching for it in google.. it works i live in Egypt and i gut my activation code all will take about 15 minutes
enjoy..
