Windows phone conversion tool - HTC One M8 for Windows

As there is a confirmed rumor that htc will announce a wp htc one m8
Will there be a way to convert it into a windows phone one This is the HTC One (M8) running on Windows Phone
http://bgr.com/2014/08/01/htc-one-m8-for-windows/

Wow man this phone isn't even out yet so it's not possible to say if there will be devs and if, if they can port it ... Wait until it's released and devs want to try to port it

Wrong section + nobody can't answer that question yet...

BGR is your source? SRSLY?

Thread closed,
It is unlikely to be able to convert our m8 to a windows phone with out a custom bootloader as the hardware is different between the two devices.
Many thanks,
Ghost

Yup, it isn't a WinMo subject, but, given that a lot of people want to install OS X on their desktop (regardless of when they want to develop for the iPhone or not), they will surely welcome my tutorial, which is way better and much more up-to-date than anything else out there.
there is another whole forum dedicated just to putting os x on ur normal everyday pc. believe its in the link, insanelymac? its been out there since 2005 when it debuted and i ran it on my pentium 4 lol.

Yeah, there surely is - if you read my guide, you'll see I've linked to a lot of insanelymac threads. It's just I wanted to announce the existence of my guide on also the WinMo boards I'm a regular at - after all, it's the first step-by-step guide to for example setting up the latest and greatest distros, hacks and kernels on the t4x-series Thinkpads ever written.

[Q] Question About HTC HD&

Hey R U Guys Going To Make Android For HTC Hd7
And If Yes Than Can U Plz Tell Me When R U Going To Release It
ThnxX
And Can Someone Tell Me How To Sim Unlock HTC hD7
I Really Need Help For My HD7 Because Wm7 Sucks And i Dont Like It
I Hope U Guys Will Make Android for htc hd7 Soon
Why R U Writing Like This It Makes It Really Hard To Read
And Does Not Look Cool At All
seriously.
There probably won't be an android ROM for the HD7 soon, because it is basicly the same as the HD2.
If you wanted to have an android device anytime soon i suggest getting the HD2.
The only way to unlock it at the moment would be to either contact your carrier or use a website that sells unlock codes. There is no tool for this yet.
Are you guys going to make the android for htc hd7 in future..?

thats better
I took a look at the hd7 forums on xda and so far it doesn't look like it.
The consens seems so far to buy a HD2 if one would have wanted a HD7 with android.
You could try other forums, i.e. android central? maybe they are trying something.
Why dont you guys try to make android for htc hd7
This is a great site and the developers are extremely talented
Many people want android in their htc hd7
And i am sure that they are ready to pay or donate some money to have android in their htc hd7
You can't force people to make a ROM.
You could start a thread and collect money offers from people and see how much are actually willing to offer money for it. Maybe enough comes up that someone is willing to do it.
This has already been done for other devices.
I'll quite happily swap devices with you if you want android and an HD2
Seems like a fair deal

[Q] OS Port Question Thunderbolt (been searching)

I've been searching for this answer but unless I'm using the wrong keywords or maybe the info I need is buried on page 30 I can't seem to find.
Does anyone know if any dev has been able to or has ported "windows phone 7" OS of any version over to the Thunderbolt?
I've asked in a few other areas but got flamed for wanting to overwrite Android so I gave up in the Thunderbolt forums.
If it has been done all I'm asking for is the url, of course I have no problem reading the info.
It wont happen.. It is far to difficult to port at Binary based closed source OS to different hardware.. The windows mobile 6.5 HTC HD2 was an exception as it has the same cpu and gpu etc as most the WP7 devices so was more of a hack than a port..
shame but thats how it is
Thanks for the answer. Was searching Google and getting crazy stuff. Not really wanting to switch to Nokia or T-Mobile. For me having 7 or Mango version would make my business sync issues so much easier. Again Thanks Much.

HD7 Android?

I saw a few months after the hd7 was released someone was able to port android to the hd7. Please tell me they have a rom for it now. I know i know if i want Android i should just get the device but if i can run wp7 and Android well you know.
Moved to Q&A
I heard they were going to move hd2 development slow from the hd2 to the hd7 but you see how that turned out.
Damn that means it won't be around till the next windows update sob

Is There A Way To Install Android On An HTC One M8 For Windows Phone?

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.

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.
