You could try running windows in a virtual machine. That's what I used to do on my Mac

Lmao, thats fvcked up. haha
You can either do Boot Camp or Parallels (which is what I used) and install Windows 7 for like a hour. http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/
use heimdall brosky
being a mac user, i suggest you find a buddy that has a pc. it is 100X easier. now, if you don't know anyone that is willing to help you out then...idk haha. however, i do wish that us mac users had a way to use odin and etc. just like pc users.

Just wondering because it's a pain for me to get to a computer and download the stuff I need. My computer caught fire and I have to get another and I don't like asking people to use their laptops so I can download things.

You need a pc to run the fastboot commands...don't see if ever happening.

What do you mean? There is a one-click method for the Evo. I understand I'd need a pc but if I can download one file and do a one click unlock and root it would be awesome. One file to complete the whole process. It wouldn't be a pain to borrow a laptop from someone to download one thing.
If I root now I have to download SDK, this & that. I moved so I don't live that close to my friends. I only have an iPad and Xoom as my source of internet.
I think for a one click we would need the source code to honeycomb
sent from my Motorola XOOM
Personally I wouldn't want to one click the xoom, I learned a lot about the xoom while trying to root it and I now feel comfortable tinkering with it as a result. I wanted one click with my cell but at 600 bucks I want to know what makes the xoom tick and be knowledgeable enough to restore it if I need to. The root methods available now aren't difficult at all.

This is for 3.0, but it's one-click unlock, root, unroot, and relock.

But it does require a pc to work.

That's for 3.0 and not 3.1. It's obvious that I would need a computer.

Its relativly easy to make a one click mthod and the old one just needs the rigt images put in the right place, all the commands are the same.

I must have read it wrong then, i thought you were having problems getting a computer. The way i read it, you were looking for a one-click method to run from your xoom. Sorry, if i would have read it right, i would have answer correctly. There is currently no way to one click root 3.1. In all honesty i hope one never comes. I understand your problem, but people need to learn to do things. One clicks are the reason we have 762 threads that start with "bricked".

I completely agree. Rooting teaches people how to use fastboot and adb correctly, good things to know.

I'm just about to install ubuntu over window 8 cause i was trying it out and hate it and since i already partition my HDD i decided to get Linux on it and learn more about Android. Is there anything i should install first or tips for ubuntu?

No not really. Ubuntu is the easiest of all the linux distros to get running, best tip I could give you is google everything, get on IRC and RTFM (read the ****ing manual).
Personally I prefer Fedora 14 running in a Virtualbox VM on Windows 7 x64.

Why are you using Windows 8? It's a developer preview. Use Windows 7 x64 SP1 if you want to use a stable version of Windows.

I can't get it to install :/. I tried to install inside of windows and when I try to boot it I get a red screen and doesn't go away and when I try to dual boot with a LiveUSB it hangs on here. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Hi, I am interested in starting some custom ROM work for our device. I am just looking for a little bit of direction on where to start. I understand things are a bit more complicated with our locked bootloader, but I know there is still a lot to be done. What are some good places to start tweaking performance? How about graphics and theming? if there is anything else I should know that would be great. I am not an extremely experienced programmer, but I have some experience and I am fairly comfortable tweaking system stuff. Lastly, Is there any way to get an emulater going for the A2? this would be very helpful for development to save the pain of boot loops and errors on our real device. thanks for everyone's help! Hopefully our development will take off for this phone once we get the bootloader bypass working or get it fully unlocked.

I just want to get one thing out there. If you want to develop you will NEED Linux. It makes things a lot easier than using windows.

Arch is pretty awesome if you have the patience/time to set it up. It's not that hard, just takes some work to figure it out

You'll also need a ROM kitchen to decompile ROM's, or you could just extract the zip and rezip... only problem is that if you make any major changes you need to write a new updater-script...

Try google, or my signature, or glevitans sig., perhaps if banagranola shows up, you could try hers. To add some spice we could just hope guyinthecorner comes over, but he rarely comes to this side of the force. There, now that yoi have read some nonsense, once you try any of the above suggestions, you can use an ubuntu live cd to root your ohone with ace advance h.k. I wonder who else has the thread in their sig? Sashank? Muikkuman? I don't know, I rarely log on from my pc. Now I wonder if that fella found the answer among all this nonsense

Me! I'm here!
I'm feeling nice (from the holidays I suppose) so:
TLDR; use a Linux (probably Ubuntu) LiveCD. AAHK runs great on it.

HA...we are all here. Yeah use a liveCD (UBUNTU) 32bits version. That works great, much better than windows...and there is no need to install anything. Just boot from the CD and you are done.

It's not going to happen unless you port it, and it's basically the same question as "I want ios on my phone so bad, how can I get this?
If you want ios buy an iPhone.
If you want windows buy a windows phone.
There's a reason we all don't have either one of those.

I think can port it but not entirely sure I have never done a port before but I really want to attempt it. I will need help and support and questions answered. I am a windows phone rom developer. I know I'm not the only one who wants to see this.
That's why I start this thread and ask what is the first step?
I know that we need a dump and drivers to work with. and something to cook with.
Well I suppose a windows compatible boot loader would be first then porting the drivers from android to windows this phone has full source released so your not going to get any thing new for it.
The thing would be is getting windows to recognize this as valid hardware.
Also I don't want windows 8 on my phone I have used it on my laptop it sucked making me think about going to Linux since Microsoft has decided touch interfaces are the future and made windows go full retard.

If you honestly want real development help try posting this In the developer section, rephrase the question a little better though so you get some real responses.

wait what? windows 8 and windows phone 8 are totally different OS's ?
why is our current boot loaders not compatible?
what is needed to make them?
im guessing your talking about clockwork recovery and twrp?

I was talking about the whole thing. The bootloader and partitions are not compatible you are going from android to the mobile version of windows 8.
You said earlier about winmo and win 8 being totally different android and winmo is also totally different.
get a launcher or theme.
thats probably as close as youre going to get if youre actually serious.
I see Calvin and the windows logo here
