If you're referring to what the idiots at wmpoweruser.com posted, that's not true. Those videos are from the "backstage" at windowsphone7.com They updated their posts to reflect that.
Just making sure that eveyrone knows that about the new build of the Windows Phone Developer Tools that came out yesterday, including a new build of the Windows Phone 7 image for the emulator. That cleared, has anyone figured out how to unlock it for full features?

Yes. Just download the file and copy it to your HD2's storage.
Today Microsoft announced a new version of the development tools for Windows Phone 7, which probably includes a newer version of the image used in the emulator. It would be great to get an unlocked version of this image, unless of course it is already unlocked (installing now).
It isn't...
I hope the features are still in there. The OS loading is done in 20 secs now, so either stuff is missing, or Microsoft are miracle workers.
I've downloaded it from this post. not sure how he made it. This is the second time I use ROM tools tho
ROM is compressed, it will dump it, but you have to uncompress it also.
Dump ROM with XIPPort
1. Misc->Decompres. Select file you want to decompres
2. You can find your file in OUT\DECOMPRESSED folder.
The same goes with compress. Also when you change file, you should update .imageinfo.txt with the new filesize (HEX bytes) and the compressed filesize.
I recentley contacted htc to tell them that I think we all deserve an apology for having to void our warrantys because the OS they delivered on the hd2 is flawed/unfinished and un-reliable, and that apology should come in the form of an update for WP7. I didnt metion that I use mattcfroyo of course, nor did I mention any names or websites in relation to this matter, but I just told them that I was tired of all the speculation on whether it is coming to us, and he said, Ican help you with this, there are no information on new updates for your device. please refer to out website for future updates. and thats it! so how can certain people be so sure that we are, so much so, that they bicker and defend this news in forums that I have been in. They kind of remind me of radical american christians but with WP7 as their godand they are willing to burn anyone who questions their faith. I would love to try it, but I certainley havent got my hopes up.
Bump.
The latest build I have is 7629. I'm struggling to find a dump of a more recent build. Does someone have a lead?
