Hello,
i bought my trophy 7 in december, so i needed to make a live id with USA as country, because at that time Marketplace was not working in Belgium...
Now.. months later, apps are getting released from belgium, so you only can install them if you registered your phone with belgian live id
The only way to change my ID, is to reset the whole phone... so i lose all my contacts, messages etc...
Is there a way to change something in the registry?

There is no way to change that first windows live account. You must reset your phone.Period
But the only thing that you cant backup are the text messages...All other PIM data are stored in the cloud...
And if you reset you will have a locked phone again.

So.. I used my windows live account for my phone... and for some reason it detected it as if I lived in the USA... So now I can't add my bank card to my account and I can't buy applications.
I created a new account to set my country to Mexico (I already did this in zune.net). The problem now is that I would like to change the main account from my phone so I can buy applications without having to reset my phone.
I have an LG Quantum, so I can access the registry editor using the MFG app.
Anyone knows how to do this?

Thanks a lot man! =)
What is the difference between the email and the user?
Do you know if it is possible to change to use a messenger account for messaging that is different from the main account?
lol ... after actually trying this out... it didn't work and it screwed my accounts xD
it is good I remembered the original value for those fields so maybe I can fix it =)
The fields seem to have an id instead of the email of the account... maybe this would work if I could get the id from my other account :O
Hey, tenhotshot, first, when you do copy/paste, you must provide link to the original post, i.e. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335240
Second, when you trying to answer on question what you have no idea what is the question for, please do not answer. I already told in my post - it's about changing email assigned to the primary Live acount, not a whole account...

Check my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335240 , I just added some important info (and of course tested on my handset - I'm able to use Marketplace, Games and Hotmail with new id!
P.S. Probably we need to add this hack to FAQ...

Awesome! I'm guessing I have to add the new account to the accounts list first?
And also... Do I have to do those 3 changes, or just the last one?
So.... it didn't work for me... again xD
Now I can't config contacts nor accounts... and I can't access my email...
It really sucks how microsoft restricts your account to only one country... u__u
I'll probably get a cheap used phone to try this kind of things first hehehe =P
Hmm, it's really strange, because I just did it and everything works fine. What phone do you have and how do you change the registry (registry editor, provisioning)?
Also, as I mentioned before, I changed the LiveID user name i.e. email account name, not a whole account (may be it's a reason?). Sorry, I don't know the difference and how it affects on WP7 settings.
First, I've changed email at the first two registry entries and was able to get new email (my old email associated with Live account, was blocked by damn stupid Verizon - after 10 years - still can't believe). Yesterday I found what Marketplace and game hub stop working, and asking for password with old email (LiveID?). So, I found the third entry and now all Live-services working fine, including Zune. It's 100% true.

I'm using an LG quantum and I edit the registry through the MFG application (it has a registry editor)
I actually wanted to be able to change my main account because for some reason the account I normally use for messenger is identified as being from the USA, so I can't use it to buy. So I created another account and set it to Mexico (my country) , so now I can buy apps from the market place...
The problem is now I have to re add all my friends to my new messenger account... x___x
So if I could change accounts, I could switch my account whenever I needed to buy something and then change it back to be able to send messages.
=)
For now I think I'll just start adding my contacts to the new account.
Hi Guys,
My hotmail email ID is linked to my country however every time i try to add a credit card the default country is the UK and i am unable to change that. Any idea how i can get paid apps?
Thanks
Get a new Live ID, and remember to choose your country to US or UK (hotmail.co.uk or something like that).
And apply the new live ID to your phone.
I had this problem also.
I created a new Live ID. I set a random UK address (but real address!). Registered the new ID with my phone (i reset the phone to factory settings)
Then I added my card with the same UK address, even though my card is not registered in UK.
It worked. I managed to even buy an app.
Before this, with my old live account I got an error registering my credit card.
It should be the UK, but lots of apps are missing from the marketplace on my new ROM. My phone is set to UK everywhere. Why are these apps gone?
Missing apps are: Britannica, YomoMedia, LinkedIn and WeatherDuck.
Obviously I'm hoping my account is OK.
Thanks
Log in to zune.net and go to My Account. There you'll see country, this will be the location where your account is set to.
Thanks. It turns out that the marketplace was just screwed up last night. Interesting.

Occasional I change mine - but need to change on PC and device.
Yup, marketplace and other services are under reconstruction. Microsoft must be in a rush for Xbox, windows phone and windows 8. If you just recently reset your phone you'll notice Zune artist pictures are low res.
Hello,
I bought my 8x from uk, and setup it there, and when I back to my country I can't find option to add another account or change the current one, I want to buy some apps from the store but I can't!
any idea?

Reset your device, and set up a new microsoft account.

You can still find the contacts in your phone, right?
If so then you can use this app for example
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/backup-contacts/e39fae14-46a8-447e-a708-ca31c39d7688
Then if you want you can import them to new windows live account using outlook for example.
Thx..too bad i cant use the marketplace anymore with this account issue
Guess ill have to annoy the ms support then, after that is all about the pen and paper method =//
If you have gmail ,just sync them , and your done!
My contacts dont sync, cause they were stored as ms contact type..
Changed topic.
What version of OS do you now have after reset? Tango ver is 8773 or 8779.
If you have a lower version then try to force the update through Zune by disconnecting your lan cable as it attempts to check for updates etc.
your a little bit too vague here
what did you have, device and version, what went wrong for your to do a hard reset, what do you have, now (version) and finally what is it you want
your mention tango but the chat seems to be more about live syncing issues so its a little unclear
can you elaborate a bit?
