Hello Friends,
I have purchased unlocked HTC M8 , got Android on it. I want to install Windows 8.1 on it. Do we have official global Windows 8.1. ?
Plus after installing Windows 8.1 will it be possible to upgrade to Windows 10 ?
It is currently (and also likely) not possible to install WP8.1 on an Android M8 (I tried) because there is no way to put the WP bootloader onto the Android M8, and from the information I found during my attempt, the PBL of the WP version also contain secure boot, which is not present on the Android version, this can have effects on the OS that we don't know of yet.
Super misleading title...

I did read the forum, there are Windows 8..1 rom available for download which are U.S. Based version, that's the reason I had put up a question mentioning in the Title with Question Mark.

Right, but look at the keywords of your first sentence. Android, wanting to put Windows 8.1 on it. There are many threads that ask this same question and the same answer and reasoning has been given.
Until Microsoft and HTC somehow publicly announce an interchangeable ROM, then the answer is no. WP 8.1-specific ROMs are only usable on WP8.1 specific handsets, unless otherwise deemed so due to the lovely secure boot that WP requires.

lol.. i hope you realize that you're in the windows variant subforum of the htc m8.
we never said it's possible or easy without lots of skill/efforts. just noobs asking the same thing again and we reply.
windows version has totally different bootloader. is that our fault in any way?
and.. RUU zip is not useless at all.. people with windows variant can use this to restore their devices.
so stop acting as if you're in a android device forum.

Hi,
I've got a HTC Tytn 2 bought in the netherlands and it's shipped rom version 1.56.404.6 and radio version 1.27.1.32
I've searched and tried 3 different roms:

Ruu_Signed_Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid_V2_1_65.14.06_CubeV2_
NoThrills_WM61_NLD_V3.exe
They all give error [262]
I've disabled the windows firewall.
Did a clean XP install and activesync 4.5
None works.
Anyone can point me in the right direction? as i'm new here.
ps. what mean these terms?
Cube, No_Cube, Lite and Hybrid?

How is it blurry? There's a huge link with nice big red letters in that sticky that even a pile of freshly shaven wool covered in alfredo sauce would know addresses your question:

I hate to say this but I never had to ask how to flash a ROM to my TytnII (AT&T Tilt). Every question on flashing ROMs has been answered time and time again. It doesn't matter what phone (Pocket PC, Smart phone, or other), you need to unlock it before you can change the OS, built-in OEM software, or the entire ROM on the device. You will only be able to update the device with the manufacturer's or cellphone comany's software updates if you do not unlock the phone.
As for updating to WM6.1, there is no update method that I know of. You will have to flash an entire 6.1 ROM to your phone. If your cell phone company releases an "update" to 6.1, it will most likely be a complete ROM and not an update like they might say.
Due to European law, most all phones are unlocked for use on different networks. That does not mean you can just flash any ROM to your phone, it still has to be software unlocked.
HINT: look up "HardSPL" or use the XDA-Wiki link at the top of your screen.

If you wanted an android device you should of bought one, although most HTC devices are capable of running linux, no drivers exist and have to be written from scratch, i think the vogue is the only win mo phone with a flashable android rom

Hi, I have a HTC HD2 (WVGA) and I wanted to dualboot it but I can't find the
Android software.
Could someone give me a downloadlink for Android 2.1?
Thanks.
HD2 will never be able to run Android officially, but it may be developed by the community to port a working version of Android to HD2, otherwise I don't think it's going to happen any time soon, however don't hold my words. AS of now, you can't

Well, what about the gen.y dual boot software?
Isn't that suppose to make it able?

It makes the phone able to boot android if a version of android has been ported to the device.. it has nothing to do with making android actually compatible with the phone...
once someone ports it to the device it should help..

Ok guys a friend of mine has a Nokia C7-00.1 with the Symbian OS. I was wondering if it was possible to root this phone and put a version of Android on it? Ive been searching everywhere and have found nothing.
One more question. I have supposedly put the legit version of Gingerbread 2.3.3 on my htc G2 that i found on this site and i was just wondering if its any different than the version that was recently updated my tmobile and if i should uninstall the version i currently have that I acquired and in turn allow tmobile to update the phone itself...
The first question is more important because symbian is wack and his phones specs seems like it could easily run android. Please lmk what the deal is DEVS
Thank You,

You are the most awesome man on earth! Install an Android OS to a Symbian based phone... RESPECT!

I just got a new HTC Trophy and I have been doing extensive reading about unlock options, etc.
Just to give you a quick overview, I have dev unlocked my phone (as a student), and am running NoDo. I know that I cannot run ChevronWP7 on this phone as NoDo was required for CDMA networks.
My question is- can I somehow get a non-dev unlock (i.e., an unlimited sideload unlock) using Mango? I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anywhere that detailed this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hmm this question is better asked at the HTC Trophy section.
I'm still not that experienced so bare with me.
Lets see first if we can do something about this without Flashing your ROM.
First can you sideload 3rd Party apps? Say the U2M7720.XAP file on this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287505
Because from my understanding that Dev-Unlock = ChevUnlock ?
If you can sideload this app and use it then follow the steps on that thread to the letter and you should have Mango with Unlock + INTEROP-UNLOCK.
Now in case you can't sideload apps, only solution is to flash a ROM with Mango Jailbroken. Check these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269652
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
Couple of tips:
1- If you choose the Flashing method, READ every single warning and step, you don't want to end up with a Bricked/Half-Bricked device.
2- Take a full backup before trying to mess around with your phone.
3- Have a copy of your original ROM, try hitting this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924333
Let me know how it goes for you.
Thanks for the reply. After reading your post and looking at your threads, I am even more confused than ever.
So, yes I have already sideloaded 2 apps (not the one you referenced in your post)- I have a dev (student) unlocked phone, so I guess I can sideload up to 3 apps...
The 1st link - isn't that for phones that were unlocked via ChevronWP7?
Any assistance (and hand-holding ) would be greatly appreciated.

So LiFePo4, what is your end goal, to be interop-unlocked (i.e., sideload more than 10 apps), or just dev-unlocked on Mango?
Xenohart, do you have experience getting the HTC Trophy unlocked (> 10 sideloaded apps)?

Interop-unlock so I can sideload homebrews such as ACT or Registry Editor from Schaps and others. Dev-unlock does not enable you to sideload any homebrews.
So are you running Mango w/Interop-unlock, or NoDo?
I have two phones (one is wife's). Hers is Mango but locked (until I find a way to interop-unlock; I can do a dev-unlock but it doesn't buy me anything right now). My phone is NoDo Dev-unlocked and interop-unlocked. I am staying on NoDo for other reasons but like having the interop-unlock
I believe Ansar and Heathcliff are on the verge of a breakthrough.
Ansar will release something in the coming days (hopefully), as it seems he found a way to unlock official Mango. So for the guys unable to unlock the Trophy, keep your eyes open.

any progress with this? links to heathcliff and ansar? I'm new to the process.

You need HTC connection setup to interop unlock and it was pulled off the marketplace so unless your phone had it on from the start.... might be screwed
Iam stuck on nodo with a cdma sprint arrive because of this.
@snapz54: Heathcliff74, Ansar, and most of the other folks working on HTC interop-unlocks, myself included, mostly post on the Development and Hacking sub-forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=606).

@GoodDayToDie: Thanks for that info - the problem for myself is that it is almost impossible to find answers to specific questions on the Development/Hacking forum (or on any forum here for that matter). There isn't a centralized Wiki/FAQ on issues/questions like this. I find that the stickies usually are tens of pages long and just when you're about to find an answer, the post you think contains the answer mentions 2 or 3 other forum posts that it links to to get the answer, so by the time I think I've found answer, I have like 10 different tabs open in my browser, all for various forum posts that were linked from one of the main stickies.
I've gotten both "Yes you can upgrade to Mango with a Verizon-based HTC Trophy and keep it interop unlocked" and "No it is not possible at this time". If you could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my mini-rant.
@Avazee: The search feature on these forums could be a lot better, but it does exist. You can also just use an external search engine (Bing/Google/whatever) and do a search with " site:xda-developers.com" to find things.
I don't know for sure if it's currently possible to Interop-unlock a Trophy, or any HTC phone. My HD7 is interop-unlocked, but I've heard the method I used (coming from the beta) doesn't work anymore. The usual approaches mentioned to getting interop-unlocked on HTC Mango rely on an app called U2M7720, by ansar.ath.gr. This app provisions your phone through the pre-release Mango update process, which should give you a window between updates where you can interop-unlock Mango.
Using the retail upgrade path will not work. You will need to roll back; nobody currently knows a way to interop-unlock an HTC phone that is already on Mango. Alternatively, there are custom ROMs for HTC phones that provide Mango with interop-unlock already baked in.
