ok thanks. looks like i'll wait for lumia 900 to hit the UK
^What makes you think it'll be easier to boot alt OS's on the 900?
I don't think he expects it to be easy to put a different OS on it - he just expect that the Lumia will come with WP7.5 already installed (which is what he was trying to get...)

Hi,
I am completely frustrated from my Window 7.5 Mango.
I was using Android, having lots of apps in market/rooting etc. As compare to Android, Mango is nothing
Could anybody guide me to install Android into my Nokia Lumia 710
...no you can't...If you don't like it, sell it....
So can i install Windows 6.5 into Mango?
Thanks for ur reply,,,
I was having many apps & cracks for window 6.5. So is it possible to install Win 6.5 into my mobile -Lumia 710 ?
My main motive is to install apps/game into my mobile, but in windows market place I am not finding good apps for free (not even paid)

You'll find much better apps for WP compared to Windows Mobile. It's sad you decided to buy a phone without doing any research whatsoever.

Actually... get in touch with the other guy who wants to put WP 7 on his Inspire 4G and switch devices.
Actually just wait a while, I think I heard some where that DFT is working on a ROM for 2nd gen devices. Then you will be fully unlocked and able to customize and even have Bluetooth file transfer and so on.

2nd gen HTC's not Nokia sadly. The only real solution is if you want a phone that has Android on it buy an Android phone. If you want a phone that has iOS on it buy an iPhone. If you want something thay you can hack the hell out of buy an HD2. Or you can be like me and do all of the above
i am also looking for similar solution...unfortunately right now there is no android solution....the most recent progress is interior unlocked the phone, similar to the rooting concept. Microsft and Nokia are extremely picky about allowing changes.

Three questions:
1. If you wanted Android, why the heck did you buy a Windows phone?
2. If you already know that people haven't yet ported Android to the Lumia 710, why did you ask? That thread talks about the progress toward doing this, and says it doesn't work yet.
3. Why are you posting a device-specific question in the general WP7 Q&A forum? I mean, you linked to the exact Q&A thread relevant to your question. You could also check the Lumia 800 (typically also includes 710 since they are almost identical internally) Development sub-forum, and read the unlock/NAND-access thread there...

frustrating for him is i think the approach, he purchased a wp7 but want android on it. that's funny, you dont buy a golf cab to race against an sports car. you buy a sports car not a comparison with that car to wp7
the second thing. he want maybe to try android, because of the hacking abilities and customization and bla bla... and in the end everyone, and believe me everyone switches to the stock things that you have on your phone since the first day. that's the same with nokia and symbian, eveyone of us wanted a cool background picture, "cool" sounds, gimicks, but in the end nokia had a very good interface and backgrounds and sounds. he purchased now a nokia lumia 710 for which people sit many weeks to think of the variety of sounds and lockscreen so that it suites all of us. and after 100 background i use now the stock ones... the same is with custom accent color, i used 150 different to come to the stock ones, which suites definitely the best! thats why microsoft said 9 10 accent are enough because we get in the end wp8

eemmmm..if i'm not mistaken the market for winmo has already dead isn't?lumia is more better than old Pocket PC,i think there will be a lot of chance to do "something" with it,imagine man..some of old PPC device has already running android on it(especially the great HD2),so don't give up to your device

Calm down, he was just trying to help.
For the record, WP isn't better than wm, two different devices for two different jobs, MS may have dumped one of them but I can state without doubt that WM is alive and kicking in the business world and will be for some time to come yet I bet the other thing to remember is that wm development kickstarted android, when droid took off all the devs split their focus, I wouldn't bank on their ever being a new " hd2 " ever again

It is possible to install custom rom
Just visit the site (windowsphonehub.in/tutorials/updating-unlocking-nokia-lumia-710-wp-7-8-jailbreak) every thing is provided there abt installation of custom rom
Hi,
With Windows Phone 7 (Nokia Lumia)
Is it possible to block specific phonenumbers? (Not a range of numbers, no just 1 specific number)
And one thats probably been asked a million times, use it as a modem for my laptop?
Using a HTC incredible S at the moment, where it is possible, and they are features I would not like to lose if I were to switch to a WP7 device.
Then again, with the price of the Lumia's It may be better to wait for a WP8 device that supports SmartGlass later this year?
Ask your carrier for blocking phone numbers. They can do it usually for you.
Yes, you can share your internet via WLAN.
Well, I'm still convinced that at least the 2nd gen devices will get WP8 (but that's only my opinion) so can't give you real advice here.

Does that mean the phone/OS itself doesnt have that option?
(cuz provider blocking is not a solution in my case )
Thanks for the answers
As far as I know, WP7 can't do it.
It might be possible on custom roms meaning it's impossible on lumias, at least for now.
Currently, the only Windows phones that support call blocking on the phone are the gen2 Samsung phones, and it's a special feature that Samsung added. Some of us (phone hackers) have been trying to add it to other phones too, though.
Many if not all of the Lumias are for some reason shipping with a partially-limited WiFi driver that doesn't support the "act as a hotspot" mode. The OS (Microsoft's code) supports this, but if the OEMs don't include working drivers (Nokia's code, in this case) then you can't use it. USB tethering might be possible (it is on almost any other WP7 device) but I don't know.
If you have a Lumia 710, or some o the Lumia 800s, they have a USB Mass Storage mode in their bootloaders and you can flash a custom ROM easily. The 900 has not, last I checked, been unlocked in this way (probably not the 610 either).

Sure about that? You need that Qualcomm dev bootloader right?
Got pointed to a guide for downgrading to get the qualcomm dev bootloader in case anyone is interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626317
This is for the 710. I don't now if it's possible on the other lumias.
Problems with games on Windows Phone 8 Nokia Lumia
Hello I have a Nokia Lumia 620, and tried to install a game called Lets Golf 2 version 1.3.0.0 by the method developer what happens is that when you finished installing and everything, I'll play the game and simply service begins is black screen and comes back, I've tried everything and I can not solve the problem, does anyone know help me with this problem is the same and I realized that the site does not have a straight section for Lumia 620, 720 and 520, could create it has many Brazilians who have these devices and do not stir it has sites with accurate information ....
There is one more thing already has news of some jailbreak for Windows Phone 8, especially the line of Nokia Lumia?
Thank you for your attention
i personally have installed it and everything works right don't know the version though. As for jail-breaking the phone its not called jail-breaking that's for apple. Its simply called unlocking and no one has been able to yet. when there is a way the development part of the forum on the windows 8 would light up with roms and explanations on how to unlock the Nokia phones. Im waiting on it too and as with many others.

Hi,
I know - silly question - still, would it be possible to flash this phone with Windows 10 mobile?
SoC is the same as in Lumia 950 XL as far as I can see...
Any thoughts?

It may be the same SoC but the motherboard , camera, screen, many other things are different which means it wont work and windows is closed source, it cant be ported.
Shame .
I like Windows but since there is hardly any choice of phones no wonder it goes down .
Thanks for answer.
