Sorry to ask questions about an old device, but it hasn't had an update in forever and can't download almost any APK.
Are there any known CWM or TWRP for this device?
Any custom way to install newer versions of android?
Worst case, is there a way I can install something like BlueStack to my windows computer and use it as as a thin client?

just bought a t-mobile pulse today and was wondering if you you guys could help me with a couple of things.
i know that android can't run applications from the minisd card straight out the box. Could someone please list what needs to be done before the phone will do so. I know the phone will need rooting, does anyone know a simple rooting method for the pulse? and then what needs to be loaded to run applications from the sd card? Would anyone recommend doing these.
From what i've seen, this website seems a real community and this is one of the reasons i bought an android phone. Thank you for your time and help.
could someone help
No one is making root for pulse, no devs have one.
why is noone making a root for the pulse?
maybe this will help

Hello it's been a while that I have installed Windows phone 7 on my HD2.. (the first release from DFT I think)
But, atm I can't use at work to connect to the wifi because my MAC Adress always change...
So I wanted to put back Android but without uninstall anything.
I don't want to loose my data/config/activation from my wp7, I just want to install android in dual boot.
Anyone have successfully installed Android after WP7 but without reinstalling both?
Sorry for my english...
I have post in this thread because isn't only about HD2.
I think that you will find that the vast majority of users in this forum have WP7 handsets and so will not be able to assist you.
Logic dictates that you will have more luck in the HD2/Leo forums as the members there actually own the handset in question.
Kind Regards,
Creamy
yes, thanks for the answer, but I don't want to post twice (maybe an admin will move this?) and it can be for any wp7 device.
If anyone want to install an android system he has to reset their phone, format the partition and then loose all data/installed programs from windows phone...
Isn't specific to HD2, so I hope anyone has got the same problem as I have

Actually, this is a question ONLY for the HD2. Android cannot be installed on a WP7 handset (yet). So you are much better off posting in the HD2 forums.
Yeah, the hd2 is, generally, one of the most beastly phones to ever exist. You can even run older versions of windows, and newer versions of nonmobile Linux distros on it!!

Hope this helps, it did for me, also all the tool links are there too, I have mine running and even have TS3 full version, working on my Android side.
I do have a feeling though, that you will need to reset your win 7 side, as you will need to create and format your sd card for it to work, unless you are able to do this without the phone, then you could create the partition, but then you still need both partitions, as your win phone 7 side, will need storage space.
You will have to follow the guide to the letter, I did mine a few days ago and all is sweet, my android side is different to whats in the guide, but at least it is listed what i am running in my siggy.Best of luck and message if you need help.
More help to you, I hope.

Just a note, I actually cloned my storage on the sd card for the hd2, before I went about reinstalling, I was able to create the sd partitions for wp7 and android, then I copied the windows one back over, that way I saved all my downloaded apps.
If you are not sure about this, then you will have to bite the bullet and just wipe and reinstall, just take a note of things before you do.
You will be able to reactivate the phone by calling microboffs,via chat help, thats what I did, they gave me a key, straight away for free.....
ups didn't know we can't install from another wp device... so if an admin can move the topic...
hm, I'll try promethieus...
I'll try to backup the sd data then we will see... but didn't think it will works
this may sound stupid but has anyone thought of making a recovery like twrp or cwm for pc? like for users running it directly off their pc (not in a virtual machine). couldnt we boot a recovery directly from grub and make it possible to flash zips to android x86. just for ease of access..
bump, i like it too
Good idea I like it
nice!
Wouldn't be bad, but I guess not needed. You could get the same result by installing a light weight distro and use it as a recovery.
Do you know how the os installaton works on tablets with intel atom or core m? Can I just download windows/ubuntu and install it form a bootable USB like on laptops or do I need special ROM for that device like regular android phones?

If you have access to fastboot mode (Google it if you don't know how to open it), you can install the official Ubuntu ROM using this method:
How to install Ubuntu Touch on your Android phone or tablet
Or check this official instructions: Installing Ubuntu for devices
But, there's no Windows OS for Android devices.
However there are certain custom ROMs which gives Windows 8 like interface. Search and find those ones compatible for your device.
Else, you can install launchers that give UI like Windows 8 from Play Store.
Hope this helped
Hi there,
I finally decided to root my Note Pro (P900), which is just 10 Days old (refurbished tho, so no warranty issues).
My Backstory (only read if you are bored
The main Reason for me is privacy. Coming from a Xiaomi Android Device with its excellent Permission Manager I was shocked at the Permissions some Apps require, that cannot be changed.
I did my research and tried a relatively unknown option named "Appguard". (Google actually removed it from the PlayStore after a short period of time, still available from their Website). This app was developed by a IT Professor at a german university with the help of his students. It allows to manage app permissions on the fly for installed apps and doesn't require root. However, this requires to reinstall the apps you want to monitor (no big deal) and it also allows apps to get PlayStore upgrades (great!). However as it functions without requiring root, there is no way to monitor system apps (including all the Samsung bloatware!).
I did further research and am now opting for the xPrivacy Plugin for the Xposed Framework.
This of course requires root to function. So here I am.
My device is a stock, unrooted P900 Wifi (32 GB) currently running 4.4.2 (KOT49H.P900XXUANI1). And, I'm on a Mac!
Bummer!
I understand that the current setup to gain easy root is using Odin on a windows machine (wich i dont have!)
I did some more research and found Heimdall. Its a multi platform tool that allows flashing Samsung devices.
Did anyone already try Heimdall and can maybe give me a hand on setting it up?
Does it even work with the P900?
Any other Methods rooting the P900 on Mac OSX?
Thanks a lot in advance!
For times when I need to use Odin I use windows in a VMWare virtual machine on my macbook. The VM image takes up precious SSD space on my rig though so when not in use I'll copy over the image to removable storage to free up space and then copy it back to the macbook when I need it.
Thank you for your reply.
Ive done some tinkering in the Meantime and it seems like at the moment there is no possibility for the P900 using Mac OSX.
There are actually two options (or one technique used by two programs). Both of them are open source, available for Windows, Linux and Mac and can be found on github.
One is Heimdall, which seems to work fine for older Samsung devices and actually uses a special kext to replace the samsung drivers on Mac OSX. It comes with a command line tool as well as a straight forward user interface.
The other one is JOdin3, a Java/Casual based program that can be used directly in the browser or downloaded and run as a java program. It also uses the Heimdall drivers, but offers a user Interface that looks and functions exactly like Odin, plus it inludes a "noob friendly" step by step process in the UI.
The problem is that the heimdall drivers are still having issues with newer samsung devices (including the note pro) preventing it to fetch the PIT file from the device.
As of now, April 23rd 2015 there is currently no way to root your device using Mac OSX
I'm currently downloading a virtual windows machine in virtualbox and will try to root that way.
I have no Windows license, but thanks to the Internet Explorer Team from Microsoft you can download already complete virtual Windows Enviroment for both OSX and Linux directly from the windows servers. For free!
Will report back once I rooted my device.
I successfully rooted my P900!
For those Mac Users out there interested:
I tried Virtualbox first, but it didn't work. I installed the exact same windows image (Win7 Enterprise) with VmWare Fusion and was able to detect my device using Odin with the latest official Samsung drivers.
I used Odin (v. 3.10.6) to flash TWRP Recovery (v. 2.8.6.0). You have to boot directly into recovery after flashing, otherwise the OS will revoke the custom recovery at the first boot.
I then used TWRP recovery to flash SuperSU (v. 2.46) from a USB Drive and made a full backup to the ext. SD card.
Currently downloading the Hyperdrive custom rom. Really looking forward to it.
Did you end up tripping KNOX?
Keep us posted on your progress.
KNOX will be tripped when you install a custom recovery via Odin.
So yes, my KN0X has been tripped.
I'm currently running the Hyper drive Rom with different kernels. Performance seems good and customization Options excellent. l have a problem with random shutdowns (not reboots), no matter what kernel l use.
Pretty sure It's related to the Rom setting/ Setup rather than root method. Some users of the Hyper drive Rom reported similar issues,' however l have to figure this out before university starts again on monday and i absolutely need the tablet for lecture.
If I dont find a solution for the shutdowns until sunday i might have to consider flashing stock + .Xposed
