Hey guys, I have a sensation and would like to unlock/root it but I cannot seem to find anything even from HTC with directions using a Mac computer. Everything seems to be windows based. Is there any hope for this or am I beating a dead horse?
I don't know about rooting with mac, perhaps someone else does but my suggestion is to borrow a friend's windows computer and get it done that way if it's too complicated to root with mac. I did a quick search on the subject and found many questions about rooting with mac but few actual answers as you probably have done yourself. It won't take too long on a windows computer and borrowing it is likely the easiest way to go. Sorry I could not be of more help. Hopefully someone knows something about rooting with mac . If not just make it easy on yourself and borrow a friend's windows computer. It really won't take that long and its very much worth it! So don't give up ! I wish you the best. This is what I would do if I were in your situation. Good luck.

Does anyone know of any development being done to port Android or any alternative OS to the Pantech Duo or has anyone cooked any other roms for it? Stock Windows Mobile is much too sluggish on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I vaguely remember there being a Pantech Duo sub-forum on XDA. No?
Just reminding you we will deal with HTC devices.
you might not get an answer at all.
sorry

Thanks. I do appreciate the reminder. XDA is the best place on the internet that deals with Rom development so I was hoping someone might know something about the Duo. Thanks again.
Sorry.. i can't personally help.. hope someone can tho
I just bought a Pantech duo. Its actually not a bad little phone. I figure they allowed the Palm Treo and Sony Erricson here, hopefully they will allow the Pantech.
One problem I found though, is there is no way to get to the ROM image in the install file. Winrar or 7 zip won't open it.
If Pantech allowed their phones to be hacked like HTC does, they might be more popular.
As it stands, there is hardly any info out there for this phone.
I just got an HTC HD 2 today from a friend, and it already has a version of android on it. I dont know how to replace the android files without messing up the phone. Can someone help or walk me through this?
i know this aint help but have u tried the hd2 section
also is your name from coheed and cambria lol!
I have looked through the section and I cant find anything on how to replace the files. Yes it is. The greatest band ever!
sry i dont know anything about the hd2 and yes sir you are correct i just saw them in dallas for the neverender tour 4 hours of nothing but coheed it was amazing my 3rd show i may add new orleans, little rock, and dallas!
you shld be able to ask the same question in that thread im sure someone will be able to help
If your friend was so generous to give you that nice piece of hardware I´m sure he can guide you to replace the Android OS with that Microsoft crap. Your friend has invested some time and energy in the modification of his phone so he would be interested in having you enjoying it, too, wouldn´t he?
To be able to help it would be useful to know if android rom is nand (ie has replaced the original wm6.5 os) or is running from sd card.
When you boot up the phone, does magldr load?
I would suggest you do go over to the hd2 forum and look at the sticky threads, tey have all the info you will need to change/update android to something newer or even change os completely to say wp7?
If your droid is nand, it is very simple to update, just head over to the HD2 nand forum
Cheers.
Thank you everybody for being kind and not throwing noob slanders at me. The friend who gave me the phone actually bought it off of someone who put android on it haha so this nice phone is a hand-me-down for sure.
is this possible?
I just sold my iphone 4 to try out the android system.
I am using the hd2 and want to have it rooted. preferably on 2.3.4
I have 2 macbooks and no pc's..
I've been reading around a LOT on google and have read around on this site but can't seem to find anything about mac...
Can i even do this with a mac?
I currently have a 2 gb sd card (i am going to get a larger one) that came with the phone i bought off craigslist.
I really need help as windows mobile is awful..
If I can be helped I can help out people in the future with their phones..
I know all about jailbreak, custom ios, unlocking, etc, even ios 5 beta and all but android is a TOTALLY different WORLD.
I need help please, the terminology and names of things are confusing me too...
I don't know what ROM is..
any help is appreciated!
-sorry if I missed a sticky somewhere or if this thread needs to be redirected.
Does anyone have an idea? one day in and windows mobile has gotten real old. like real old.
The best place to find the info you seek would be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=531
I will be the first to tell you I am not tech savvy at all! I have been doing some research with regards to this and have used many resources avail, including this site.
I have read most of the answers to my questions but still require assistance. I have the HTC Desire with with my local internet provider Cox Communications and I have a 10.2 inch tab through wowpad that is powered by Android supertab. It is operating on 2.1. My HTC is 2.2. I am very new to the smart phone world and tablet world.
Is there a way to just simply upgrade my tab to a new OS? Do most of you feel that rooting my phone is the way to go, because I never ever have storage that I need. I know it comes down to a personal choice. Or, will my phone eventually upgrade to a new OS?
I really want to do my tablet but honestly I literally need step by step directions in doing so. If I mess this up on my own, my wife and daughter will kill me. Thanks in advance to all of you. This is truly the best site in the world!
How would rooting your phone solve your storage issue?
More Storage
From what I understand, I will have superuser rights and that would allow me to delete some of the stock programs to free up space. Is that right?
Help
Is there anyone out there willing to help with this issue? It would be greatly appreciated.
This Sucks
Ummmm Wow! I thought I would get some help with this, but I guess not. I guess I'll try another site.
Take it easy, look up your device in the forums and look for how to root.
It's not that hard to do and most devices have a manual how to.
Take a look at this:

Thank you
Thank you krt. That is exactly what I needed. Thanks again.

did you spend ANY time to search on the forum before you posted? IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
technology not compatible, despise it is near the same devices are unique to run windows or android, you should be able to sell your w phone and get an android version
also keep in mind that you might not be happy with the android version. if used to windows phone you will find the higher battery drain under android quite disturbing.

The best bet is to exchange with someone who needs Windows phone but holding an android phone.
windows
It may be worth waiting. Windows 10 may allow you to install android apps

Woot !!!
Hello guys,
Seriously, I'm currenlty struggling to get one, as they're only availabel in the U.S. and nobody wants to ship to my location...
If you really have one of these and want Android, then please make things simple for everybody : contact me to sell yours and get an Android model !
On the other hand, i agree it would be fun to be able to run an SD Android ROM like we did on the HD2, but if you're looking for a NAND ROM, justs swap for a regular M8 that's available everywhere !
P.S. : I'm serious about wanting to buy an M8 for Windows... AT&T unlocked, as we're using only SIM cards here. Thanks ! ^^
Isn't there any swap section on this forum, btw ?
As a FYI to anyone that happens to be messing around in this space: I've intentionally bricked my (Win) M8 into QDLoader 9008 mode, but haven't gotten much further as the device doesn't appear to fully implement Qualcomm's Sahara protocol, or at least implements it differently than any examples for other devices that I've found - it will do the hello handshake and a mode switch but returns some sort of error after that. I'm out of relevant docs and examples on Sahara and firehose though, so I'm pretty much done unless I decide and manage to hook up JTAG.
There was a poster in another thread who said they were able to install android this way, but then never reported back with their "tutorial". As such, they may very well have been lying, but unless someone who understands the M8's Sahara support chimes in, it's still a possibility. Not trying to get anyone's hopes up though, as I'd say it's still unlikely given the lack of dev effort for this phone.
any updates?
Anybody hear about any update on this topic? My friend and I are willing to work on a project to see if we can make it possible. We just need to know where to start. As of now, I have the HTC M8 unlocked to sideloads apps and what not. Anything helps. Being negative never gets you anywhere. Being positive opens new doors. Thanks for your time.
Developers! can you convert windows htc m8 to android?
Hello Developrs!
My friend has a shop of mobile phones and he has a stock of HTC one m8 for windows phones. He wants to let it convert into android. Please let me know if any of you can do this. i will pay you for this.
Thanks

I have HTC one M8 (windows 10 version) at&t unlocked
if you are serious, please contact me on my email [email protected]
we'll keep in touch
Thanks for the offer, but I've bought a Lumia 950 now.
BTW, your email address seems to have been "anonymoused" ! ^^
.
Checking in for any updates. I got handed this phone in an insurance upgrade.
Hi, I can't find the other 3d about the porting, but today I was thinking about the mi4.
If you remember, the MI4 LTE can switch between windows mobile and android... maybe if we study the tools and the code behind that device we might modify/create a tool or (maybe) at least find something interesting that we can apply to our htc one m8.
I'm not a dev and my english is very bad, but I wanted to share with to all of you my thoughts.
