My Samsung focus arrived yesterday. I got the notification for an update. This may be for nodo. Mango is also about be rolled out.
So first thing to do is install zune, which requires at least win xp service pack 3.
My problem is my laptop came with pre installed windows XP service pack 2.
So, can anybody guide me on this? Are there some hassles in upgrading to sp3? I searched the net and micro soft site and others was pointing me to a file bigger than 300 MB. I also read some guys had some problems in already installed data. What is the safest way in my situation?
Thanks
My personal preference is to download the distribution file (300+MB) and install from that. My experiance using Windows update has not been good. Installs some undates, reboot, install some updates, reboot, etc, etc. Not sure if its smarter now or not, why chance it.
If you are that far behind in the OS, you may also find an issue with the Windows update agent after you install SP3. Without the latest agent, Zune may not update properly and Windows update website may not update you properly. Earlier this week this happened on both my XP Pro (w/ SP3) machine and a Vista Home Premium machine. So if you get the Zune update errors, you will need to get the latest update agent.

Hi Everybody!
There are lots of threads out there all asking about RT/2 images. (iso)
This does NOT apply to pro!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487580
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2215727
Let me clarify a few things:
Windows 8.0 RT works on both Surface RT and Surface 2
This means you can have Windows 8.0 RT on a Surface 2
The image I host only works on Surface RT's you need to patch your wim to work on Surface 2.
Now on to 8.1:
If you have a surface RT and you want 8.1, you should install the 8.0 image then upgrade to 8.1 via store.
If you have a surface RT and you want 8.1, and you have a 8.1 image, you should use it.
If you have a Surface 2 and you want 8.1 your Surface came preloaded with 8.1. However you can also download 8.1 images and install them.
How to dual boot?
If you own either surface you may want to dual boot 8.0 and 8.1. You cannot boot from SD CARD!
Follow this guide to dual boot both OSes. However in the guide it says 32gb tablets don't work. They do. I have my Surface RT 32gb tablet setup this way.
The reason to dual boot for me was so I could Run Jailbreak on 8.0 but have 8.1's features.
I have a modified version of the guide that I used that worked better for me.
Code:
1. manage-bde -protectors -disable c:
2. Shrink your OS partition from disk manager GUI leaving about 12 Gb free space.
3. Create new partition over the free space, format it to NTFS, add a drive letter, say, F:
4. Obtain image.wim from your image and then run powershell as an admin:
Dism /apply-image /imagefile:full-path-to-your-install.wim /index:1 /ApplyDir:F:\
5. Add the needed entries to boot-menu:
bcdedit /copy “{current}” /d "Windows RT 8.0”
bcdedit
look at bottom guid (identifier) and insert it between {}
bcdedit /set “{}” device partition=F:
bcdedit /set “{}” osdevice partition=F:
bcdedit /timeout 5
6. disable Bitlocker on the new partition (something like manage-bde -protectors -disable f:)
7. Reboot
Hope this helps!
If it did Hit the Thanks! button.
I host the Windows 8.0 RT image on my ftp server so if you want that PM me.

Yes!

Very interesting! For the longest time Surface 2 owners wanting to jailbreak have been told they were just out of luck or to wait for the elusive 8.1 jailbreak. I guess now the answer is downgrade to RT 8.0.

Yes this is the answer.
Trolling?
Oookiedo. .. I see here some methods of dual booting which is possible. However! I see that you need a 8.0 image to 'downgrade' 8.1 which will not work unless you started off at 8.0. Here in this guide it tells you how to dual boot and create your own image so when you do all those commands listed it's not actually downgrading your image or anything. If you use your own created image and follow this guide then congratulations you have dual booted 2 different versions of 8.1. So unless another person uploads 8.0 recovery then you are out of luck.
Would it be possible to boot from a USB device? (Surface 2)
**MIGHT be possible**
I have read a lot of blogs and forms here and from what I can tell it is not possible. There are a lot of forms where other developers are trying to break into 8.1 jailbreak. To think of it were that easy and downgrade they would have already released it as an official way of jail breaking the surface 2 rt. Though it could be one of those things where you are too close to a project to see the easy way out.
I have tried making a boot able USB stick with posted recoveries posted through out several different tech forms with no luck. All the surface 2 rt seems to do is crash instantly (and by crash I mean instant blue screen of death followed by extreme pixelized broken text and background almost unreadable) though the files are 3.4 gigs and it is very possible the files that I have gotten were corrupted. So I have not gotten the 8.0 image from someone posting the 8.0 image this year. If anybody happens to have a working surface rt with an 8.0 image and posts it I would be more then happy to give it a go.

Well, the OP said he hosts the RT 8.0 image and to PM him for it.
Honestly I still have my doubts about RT 8.0 on Surface 2, so I'd love to see if somebody can show it running as I've read some of the same threads you're probably referring to... and until this thread nobody had reported any success.
Thanks domboy for helping while I was away. You are correct I DO host the 8.0 images. I am running Windows 8.0 on my surface 2. Somewhere myrachan said something about the signatures being trusted...just do a search. The image I have is in .zip form so you can do whatever with it this includes both making a recovery usb as well as dualbooting.
8.0 Image
I have downloaded the 8.0 image the OP has hosted. I am going to see if the image he had posted is any different from what i have downloaded in the past. Wish me luck.
YEAAAH

---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 AM ----------
Does this only work if you are dual booting? I did try just a straight recovery. Maybe the partition opened in the steps listed in the earlier is fine with the 8.0 installation. The issue may be Microsoft actually placing a block on the 8.1 install on the main partition namely 8.1. So it is possible to boot from usb to the new partition?
I don't think it will work...MS hasn't released signed drivers for Surface 2 for Windows 8.
wcomhelp > could you please post a video and/or images of a working 8.0 on your Surface 2
OP: More info
Windows RT 8.0 trusts surface 2 Drivers. You have to use dsim or dism whatever; you get the point. After deploying, NOT installing you need to run a tool called sysprep. after this you are done. the drivers should be included in your original .wim file. you cannot simply use a Surface RT image on the surface 2. I was incorrect about that. Sorry I forgot what I had to do to make it work. Working at university with kids who have had coop terms at MS helps a lot in projects like this. Since the Surface 2 was one of my friends and I no longer have it I cannot post a vid of ss right now. I tired so if this post is awful that's why.

Read the last page of that post please.....I asked Moderate last night...he says its not possible unless Microsoft releases signed Windows 8.0 drivers...I tend to believe him because he knows a lot more about Windows RT than us.
First i happy that you can get windows rt 8 and 8.1 withdualboot
but i make some test that for shrink the size for partation of windows to get at least 12 gb
it was impossible to doing that in surface 2
becouse the windows allow you to shrink size with 5 gb at least
i know that it hard to belive but you can try that with surfae 2
i know there space not used as 18 gb
but that happen with me .
is there any solution for that to make new partation as 12-16 gb
Thank you
Hi Devs!
I'm wondering why not more people here working to get android lollipop working on our beloved tablets
I started to read a little bit into the topic and found quick easy solutions on the web to get ordenary android-x86 images boot very well.
Draco wrote an How-To that is easy and works also perfect with the Surface-Pro
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/D85Jq02cLrE
I modified the UEFI files to work better with a out of the box intallation of the Surface and put it together with Android 5.0.2 test builds.
Collect everything I've uploaded in a Folder:
https://drive.google.com/folderview...V3VU0wYV9MY2VVVkY2eGJPT0EyTkQ4WnM&usp=sharing

How-To
Here to download a Testbuild for Android 5.0.2 from Google Groups from rgb
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-x86/3xClAbl5D_w
Info:
If an microSD card is inserted the boot process will fail, because the microSD replaces the SSD to be the hd0 device.
Solution: change the grub.cfg entry from hd0 to hd1 and also do the mod in the loopback cfg
[EDIT]: sinc latest UEFI Firmware update, booting from microSD isn't working anymore
gapps can be used from any place, just copy the contens of the .zip file to there correct places.
atm I use a small gapps package from paranoidandroid (PA)
http://d-h.st/o72
WiFi: (not required any more on available builds)
I compiled a build on my Ubuntu intallation and extract the files for you, hope copy the files works also on the downloadable iso.
Please give me feedback if the files are working for you.
usb8797_uapsta.bin replaced in /lib/firmware/mrvl/
mrvl folder replaced in /lib/modules/3.10.58-android-x86+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless

Hi,
I'm very interested in this!
Could u pls post a tutorial of installing OSX on surface pro 3 ?
I have only installed Max OS 10.9 in VMware, but it's not smooth verywell.
Does WiFi work well within your OSX install ed on the Disk ?
Hi!
For OSX Yosemite go to
http://www.insanelymac.com
I'm on the SP2 and WIFi only per external USB Stick sorry
I hope similar tho the SP2 kex Files for SP3 are available
For me OSX with the use of touchscreens is not very comfortable.
Is like Win7 to small buttons
Also at Android I only get WIFI working via external USB Stick atm.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks a lot, I'll try it.. someday..
Solution for gapps found by the guys from google groups.
Use a EXT4 Partition on the USB-Drive/SSD to get gapps working like a charm.

I'm sorry for that, if you have time, can you also test a available Android 4.4.4 installation if olso there touchscreen is not working?
I correct the title and update the OP that everyone sees that on SP3 ther are more problems.
Touchscreen is working on SP2 but Type Cover 2 did not so I also need an external USB keyboard for analysing things in console (ALT+F1)

Haha, I understand you, but I have to mention that I'm a noob.
As far as I understand, creating/porting the drivers/firmware/kernel modules for the surface rt will be much more difficult than starting from an existing project like android-x86.
At the moment I split my SSD into more partitiones, installed the third OS (Ubuntu 14.10), get the complete code from git repository and try to set up the build environment to learn more about things are working together.
Also on Ubuntu the WIFI (USB version of MARVELL 88W8797) wont work out of the box but after replacing the firmware from git.marvell.com I get it up working.
Unfortunately this is not working on Android that easy.
The kernel modul for WIFI is loaded (mwifiex.ko) but no additional network interface is showing (mlan0 should be created)

Haha, so glad I found this thread. First things first, is your avatar a paragliding or skydiving canopy? If so, end cells look fantastic and very nice acrobatics with your leg straight up...how did you manage that?
I spent all evening and well into the morning finally getting 4.4-r2 running successfully on my SP2 using Draco's guide. Very nice work there from him.
It's unbelievable how smooth the Android experience is natively. When people recommend the emulators they just don't understand until they experience it themselves.
I have the Type Cover 1, and it's fully functional, but bluetooth and WiFi do not work. I have an Edimax EW-7811Un which does work, but the internet speeds are unusable; it maxes out at .25 Mbps. Is there something I need to do or is there another WiFi dongle which works better? Which one do you use?
Do you know of any combo WiFi/BT dongles that work?
If I can solve the WiFi issue (don't really care about having a small dongle plugged in for android), I will be one happy camper.
One more question: I read the 4.4-r1 had some drivers or something that 4.4-r2 didn't. However, I couldn't get it to boot from USB (it would hang on the android screen). With that said, I just replaced the files within the 4.4-r2 files with the 4.4-r1 on the USB. Do I have to rebuild the thumb drive or can I just replace files?
I will try the Lollipop build later. Good to find someone else doing this! Too bad we're both newbs lol.

Thats a paragliding canopy, and what you can see is the basic you have to manage when you want to fly acrobatic style.
Its a full stall where the canopy is not flying forward any more an the pilot is falling backwards untill the body stabilized under the backflying canopy
At the moment I use a USB2.0 HUB to connect the USB-Drive and the WLAN Stick at the same time. because after the last firmware Upgrade of my SP2 the Tablet do not boot any more from the microSD card. ?!?
The WLAN Stick is a original Samsung WIS12ABGNX for my Samsung TV/BD Player I used to test what can be done with them.
on Win8.1 I got a Speed of approx. 8-9MByte/sec (internal Marvell Wifi)
on Android 5.0.2 I got 4-5MByte/sec (external Samsung Wifi)
on Sony Xperia Z2 5.0.2 (unofficial) I got 2-3MByte/sec (internal ... Wifi)
when copy a file between my NAS (100MBit Network LAN structure)
so there is room for improvement, but first I really like to get more familiar with building Android from source by my self and try to get the internal Wifi working.
Also on Ubuntu 14.10 WiFi is working but not very stable but it does. (with including the firmware from git.marvell.com)

I'd rather get a small nano USB WiFi dongle and "set it and forget it." I don't want to have to carry around the SP2 and my phone with a USB cable just to use the internet.

Ya, the image was blurry, I was pretty sure that was a paragliding wing. I was a competitive high-performance canopy pilot (swooper) but have been out of the sport for a number of years. Some of the canopies now have radically different designs and the different wings between skydiving/paragliding/etc are merging now to make some cool stuff. Made a few paragliding flights, but never got into it.

You were able to boot android directly from a microSD and keep the SSD untouched (didn't even think of that)? Did the upgrade affect the partitions at all? Maybe the set root=(hd0,gpt#) and root=/dev/sda# changed, but I'm sure you already looked at that.

Ok, I just want to make sure we're on the same page here. So on Android you were getting 5 MBps (40 Mbps)? That's super fast, unless you meant 5 Mbits, which is still faster than what I'm getting. Right now, I'm getting 0.25 Mbps (0.03125 MBps) which is unusable. I have another WiFi dongle arriving today, so maybe that will help. If it doesn't, why am I getting such slow speeds?

Hi!
I did a 2nd x-check
Defenetly can receiver a 260MB file Form my NAS with ~3,2 Megabyte (~2min) per second and transmit the same file with ~4,5 Megabyte per second back to my NAS with the external Samsung USB WiFi stick
I would say its also possible to installiert Android to the microSD on a EXT4 partition and boot it via Grub.
Yes its all about the (hd0,gpt2) and /dev/sda2 or similar.
Just try it and if the numbers are not correct Boot into Grub and adapt the setting by pressing "e" and thest the setting with "F10"
Well I just tried the TP-Link TL-WN725N and it did not work at all.
Tried within 4.4-r1 that's installed to SP2's SSD and Lollipop booting from USB. WiFi just hangs at turning on and doesn't recognize the dongle.
Why am I getting such slow speeds on the other dongle? And do you know of any specific nano WiFi dongles that work well for this application? I tried searching on Google and in the Android-x86 group but came up empty.
I just want WiFi!!!! :crying:
Hi sorry for my english,there is a guide for install android on surface pro 1 ?
I think is same of surface pro 2, thanks.......
Hello All,
I know this may be a long shot, but at CES this week Samsung announced the new TabPro S running Win10. I got curios and saw my Note Pro with a huge screen and thought... "What if there's a way of getting Win10 running on my NotePro". So here i am, I've spent the better half of the night till morning searching the internet for a blimp of something related and came up with nothing. So im here today to ask:
1. Is it possible to boot Win10 on the NotePro?
2. How can i determine if it can or cannot?
3. Whats needed to make it work?
4. Find the blocks preventing it from working and find a way around it or thru it.
Would be cool to make it dual boot. Have it ask you "Android or Windows?" When it turns on. Lets make this happen!
The desktop version of Windows 10 does not support ARM, so it isn't possible. Windows 10 Mobile is designed for ARM but I would say that there is no way to get that version to boot either. And I don't think there is any reason to even try, as Android is really superior to Win 10 Mobile.
When you say Win10 mobile, do you mean Win10 IoT (Internet of Things)?
I know IoT is compatible with Raspberry Pi 2 and Arduino devices, I wonder if someone works on it, it could be installed on android tablets and phones...
Does it work well for:
- text messages SMS/MMS
- Phone
- GPS
- eMails
- YouTube
- Internet
I Will only use this phone for that, and the camera of course, no games, no social networks.
What is better ? To stay with wp8.1 or to install wp10 in my case ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

It can if you follow these steps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lumia-1020/help/lumia-1020-updating-to-windows-10-t3531645
Mine runs the latest of W10. I think it's worth it, and everything works . Why have an old operating system? The 1020 has the RAM to easily run W10.

I´ve seen videos of the lumia 1020 running windows 10 and being slow. Also, they loose stereo recording in video. I am also worried about losing the special features in the camera, like iso, manual focus, shutter speed, etc. I´ve read that Lumia Camera app is not available for Win10.
hi
I'm stuck at the step "Windows box will pops of go to “MainOS > Windows > system32 > config” choose “SYSTEM” then click open" I can't open SYSTEM. could anyone help me? (It says that the file is in use)
I vote to stick with WP 8.1. Better contact management/groups. Better Live Tiles with Cortana. Calendar auto-completes location address. Better lock screen apps. W10M loses a lot of cool things from 8.1 that still work pretty well.
Where is the custom roms for lumia 1020? I can't find anything or some projects. Is it hard to make one build based on wp10 mixed with 8.1?
