i wait for 1 day only get..wait patiently..sure will get d..
forget about the silly web chat n phone chat..

I've sent a request 2 hours ago and still no word from m$. I'll update when they reply.

ive done this about an hour and a half ago, no reply as of yet. hopefully itl be done by the time i get back from uni

I had to wait one day but I got the code

I actually told them in my email that I wanted to use Windows Phone 7 on HD2 and if it was ok with them to send me a key. I didnt want to lie and would have stayed on Android if it didnt work.
A day later I got a key.
result

Just tested and wait...
MS must give us quickly, because Android is really perfect on HD2 now

If Microsoft wanted they could've stopped giving out codes. But I'm pretty sure Microsoft is more than happy to have Windows Phone 7 gain a considerable amount of Userbase!
For them, at this stage its all about increasing the Userbase than trying to stop people form using WP7.

this is perfect proof that MS wants people to jump on windows phone 7.
should be a sticky for those whiners out there doubting on MS lol
im ready to buy some apps they look tempting btw

This is what I got instead! They wanted proof of purchase! Argh!
Dear Josh
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Customer Service Department. My name is <agent name> and I would like to address your enquiry regarding Windows Phone 7.
Based on your email description, you would like to get the activation code for Windows Phone 7. Please let me know if this is not correct.
Josh, regarding your enquiry, I would appreciate if you can provide a scan of the proof of purchase/picture of the phone itself. Once it has been verified, then we will provide you with the activation code.

problems with getting activation ID

I have called them twice today, did chat three times and even e-mailed them. 4 times i have been told they are out of the activation codes, and the last time i got asked for the imei......this is becoming a huge headache, are the apps and the xbox live functionality really that worth it? or should i admit defeat and go back to droid? Any one else haveing similar issues? or is anyone willing to pass along there code because they just dropped in to check it out than flashed back to something else?

Make up another email and name. They can check your chat history so making up more stories wont help. With a new name and email start a chat. Make up some BS like you use a throat mic and they customer service on the phone didn't understand you. It doesn't matter what name or number you give them Im more than sure their codes are pretty universal on devices of the same type. If no success make up another email and name and try again. I got it on my 3rd try via chat.

so i went back in armed and ready, new name, new email, and hopes for a code
Caleb: Welcome to Microsoft Customer Service Chat, Josh.
Caleb: I understand that you need an activation code for Windows Phone 7. Is this correct?
Josh: yes sir
Caleb: Thank you for the confirmation.
Caleb: My apologies but our tool to generate the activation code is undergoing system update. Kindly contact this number: 877-438-9863. Business hours are 9:00 am to 1:00am Eastern Time. (6:00am to 10:00pm Pacific Time). They are the team that can assist you in activation code
back at square one............

Just wait it out. N if they say to call make up some BS. Say you got some issue with your voice or speaking. If not then try the email route.

he told me to call, i said i had a horrible stuttor and tried to call them already but got frustraited with them not being able to understand me lol. I did send an email so we will see what tommorow brings. Thanks

I took two attempts for me to get a code from them.
They will give you a code - just wait it out.
You can still configure your handset to sync your contacts, email and calendar with windows live whilst your waiting to activate?
If you set-up an outlook exchange account and use the following server address:
server: m.hotmail.com
Domain: leave clear
Username: web
Password: web
I found it wont let you complete the set-up without entering something for the domain. I entered a couple of random characters so you can finish the set-up, then once the account was complete I went back into the email settings and deleted the random characters.

got an reply in email this morning, was excited thought i finally got it! and sure enough all they say is i hear you need to activate, call our office at blah blah blah
im done with WP7, not worth all these attempts to get this ID anymore, going back to droid after i get off work.

LOL .. Before you give up .. one last chance :
Here is my story : I called them when the method was just found, I got an activation code . Tried it but it didn't work, I thought I got it wrong so I called and got another Key. It didn't work either So I hard-resetted WP7 and tried the sec code and it worked .. So now I have the first key which I'm not sure whether I got it correctly or not but you can try it and PM me if it worked :
D7YJ4-TKXX2-PRRRM-M7X3G-XXXXX
I PM'ed you the red X's : )

Hello kawasaki, can you pm the red xxxx, i already try many ways with no luck
thank you

hey guys,
the chat that you guys mentioned, where can i find it? Can somebody be so kind and post me the link?
I went on Microsoft website and man, that thing's a maze. It just circles me around the website over and over and over...

http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support#
They don't seem to be giving out the codes as much now.... good luck and let us know if it works.

Can we not all use the same key? If some one has a spare one that is, or once used is the key invalidated?

Sure you could all use the same key, and then have all the devices using that key be banned by Microsoft. It is as simple as that.

ah right, lol was just a thought. I think ill just try an guess my key lol! at the rate ms is taking to reply to my emails ill have ill have guessed it hehe

failed...they asked for my IMEI..and i gave it to them..and they said i have a HD2...they don't support it..told me to get a genuine phone..LOL! oh well....

Not sure if I missed something. What is your country?
I called M$-Support of Germany on Monday this week and they gave me a key while we were on the phone. No question about IMEI but the manufactorer of my phone. I said HTC and there were no further questions.
In parallel I've sent an email to M$-International support last weekend. I received another key just a couple of minutes ago

[Q]

hi guys, i wouldn't post this if it wasn't absolutely necessary.
i've tried requesting the activation key using the microsoft chat service without success. i think i must have gone through 6 representatives who have all either asked me to contact microsoft singapore or require an imei number from me before they are willing to entertain me. i have also tried contacting microsoft singapore, and they requested that i scan a receipt as proof of purchase.
it's been pretty frustrating that i haven't been able to get one for about 4 days and so i humbly request help from you kind forumers out there. if anybody could help me get a key i would be eternally grateful!
thank you in advance

Did you try the email route?
Btw 4 days is nothing. Some have been hunting an activation code for much longer.

My question is why don't you just try and give them your imei number? worse comes to worse they'll just tell you that your phone is a hd7... i mean just try don't be scare.

Try the UK

Seriously, I still dont get why people have problems with getting an activation code. I got my first one on the first try. Then when my sd card got messed up and I did a hard reset, I realised I didnt save the activation key. So I called them again and got another one, just like that. (Being in the US mighta helped though)

They're starting to catch on and ask for valid wp7 imei's or proof of purchases most of the time now, even for us in the US. I just got a second code yesterday and I had to give a HD7 imei to get it. When I called for my first code the day the port was released, I had no problem and it was easy... didn't need imei.

[Q] someone plss??

The internet explorer included in the WP7 rom is still not able to give you the full internet experience, all other users have also problems because some sites are not working. Microsoft will fix this in the next updates like Nodo or Mango.
For the activation code you won't find anybody here who will give you one.
So you have to do it the hard way and contact microsoft for that.
Don't worry they are cool, I called one of the support guys and even told them that I have a HD2 with WP7 on it, he didn't cared.

I agree with Finalforce1111. There are a few different threads that give exact instructions on how to obtain an activation key. I obtained mine using the support chat but I personally know others that have call Microsoft directly and gotten one. Microsoft is aware of what is going on and do not seem to care. So, getting an activation key should be easy.

Code stories!!
More codes with people, mean more users, more users,mean more money for our friends in M$.

Huawei don't release bootloader unlock code! The end of modding?

The official Huawei website no longer provides the bootloader unlock codes for your devices !!! For several weeks the official website of Huawei to request the code (unique for each terminal) returns an error message that says the ID register with Huawei to Cloud and wait 14 days, but who says he expected to receive this error message and also the Subscribing to this service Chinese I find it impossible from Italy. I tried to contact all the way Huawei but I do not want to provide the code, they are also overwhelmed by demands on their official forum but do not answer to anyone. For those who buy one today Huawei (including Honor 7 as I did) you can forget the root, recovery model and whatever else!

i understand that you are frustrated, but i couldn't believe your statement.
yes, it is true that to get this code will be a little bit difficult. But from time to time you can read about successfully unlocking the boot block.
lock here: -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64830825&postcount=31
i am sure, that HUAWEI would remove the unlock button from there web side if they want to discontinue this offer!

The post that you have linked is dated 16 january...today is 25 and the problem there is from 19/20 jan

i tried the English side in the end of 2015 and was not able to get my code there!
I tied the Chinese side AND use model type Y300-0000 to get my code and it works!
Get my device ID with a special keygen (HUAWEI product ID gen)! The at my device shown ID code also did not work! But attention, i have get a virus notification from my antivirus app using this code gen!!!
At a German forum some users tried to use the model type "PLK-TL01H" and it works too.
The problem is, that there are so many ways "to do" described, and nothing will be 100% successful guaranteed!
With FB account or without; Chinese side or English side; ori. ID or Codegen ID; per mail; per special unlock side and so on and so on. Many tries to get the code!

the site says you need to use the Huawei account on the device for more than 14 days did you do this?
i'm hoping it works for me later this week, otherwise, end of my my new found dev enjoyment
Oh, don't bother with vmall, they just sell the things.. try emailing the request to: [email protected]

Hi,
I have faced the same issue with Huawei site. I did two thing.
Post a support request on their site, called the local hot line here in France.
Both first answered to follow the procedure on the site and/or mail (in English) to there corporate.
Since the site was not responding (server a lays busy), I sent them an an Official letter (both in French and English) stressing the point that both French an European laws require that manufacturer provide this unlocking code with no discussion. The same day I got an email from the hot line asking for EMEI and product ID.
In return they sent me the unlocking code.
I got a different answer from the site support. Telling me again to try on the site.
Furthermore both tried to tell me that unlocking the boot loader will void the warranty. This information is also incorrect according to European laws. What might void the warranty is modification to the operating system. The bootloader by essence is there to load the operating system furthermore for all European country the warning is in English, so it's only valid for UK and Ireland.

nice bit of info @ririo :good:
Well, it's now about 18 or 19 days of trying for me, and still nothing from the site. I emailed yesterday, still heard nothing from that either.

I have the same problem. Can you send me the contact or give it another think i can do?

Sorry but where can I create my huawei account to get the code to unlock my honor 7? ?
Inviato dal mio PLK-L01 utilizzando Tapatalk

@ririo can you post the letter in english please?!
i have the same problem...

Here is the copy of my mail. feel free to use it.
This time I was successful to get the answer through the French hot line., but my mail in English to [email protected] got the same answer "go to the site".
Usually when I get upset by those "crappy" answers from phone manufacturer or operator support I write directly to the C.E.O of the company, often it helps
I have bought last week a honor 7 device through my phone operator in France.
Has mandated by French and European laws, Phone manufacturer are required to provide upon request the bootloader unlocking code to their customer.
After several attempts on your site, I have called the hot line.
They send me a message with instructions, not different from those I had followed by myself.
They also urged me to email you if unsuccessful. In English.
I have open an account at email xxxxxxxxxx
I have activate the account
I have tried to get to the unlock tab under download.
I keep getting the following message from your server.
Your server is not responding.
Could you please let me know how to get the code.
P.S.
I am a 50th are veteran of the computer industry, and I know what a bootloader is.

@ririo thank you very much! email is on the way...

i have found another link: http://androidmtk.com/unlock-bootloader-of-huawei-honor-7
there you will find a description from nov.2015 which described the procedure to get the unlock code.
this is the same that i have done in 11. 2015 and it has worked for me.
be careful, my virus killer has found a unknown virus in the HuaweiProductGen.exe!
I think it is more save to use this tool with Linux/Wine (win-emulator)!

This did not work for me. The site says i must wait 14 days but i read that it would not work after 14 days.
