I'm sure it will be possible but not officially.
Some members have used it successfully but only at 25MB expenses. So if you have few memory available you won't be able to try it.
With ARM knowledge and SPL tweaking i believe that it will be possible to write the OS to the DOC chip and have SPL load it directly (now it's being called from RAM)
cheers

First we need for it to be officially released, because drivers for our mobile phones are missing...

Why can't drivers be either made or found elsewhere? It is linux based, and therefore probably already has a driver out there for most of the stuff in it. Or I am sure there are some good driver hackers here that can reverse engineer the windows drivers for all the system calls that are passed onto the hardware.

I hope you'll be able to use the SD card soon. It works on artemis already.

Just install Windows XP in a virtual machine and pass through the USB device. You might have some luck with wine. I haven't tried.

I've tried Wine, wouldn't set up properly.
Would I need to have Windows or a special version to use a VM?
I've got a spare hard drive, I would just install Windows on that if I had a copy.

This tool is using nvflash, so is working with NVIDIA-based phones only. If you have such one, go on!

Although this thread was resurrected yesterday, @MilkyJoePD originally posted this back in May. Also, the thread you pointed him to is a Windows only tool, and he was asking about the ability to do this from Linux.

All I see in that .zip file is a Windows batch file, a few .exe and .dlls and a load of zip files to be flashed onto the device.
Also, back in the days when this thread was first created and the question asked, all we had was v1.0 - which was an unsecure boot, a couple of old kernels and superuser - no way at all to flash KDZs with it.
I don't want to get into an argument with you, but it really does help if you sometimes check back on the dates that things were posted before criticising someone.
This was the exact menu structure from the version available at the time;-
1- Root
2- Unlock Bootloader (For JB EUR-xxx Devices)
3- Flash TWRP Recovery
4- Flash Un-Secure Boot
5- Flash Secure (Original) Boot
6- Flash CWM Touch Recovery
7- Flash Original Recovery
8- Flash Gmod-Boot-Menu (Not Recommended In This State!)
9- Flash Kernel

He stated that WINE didn't work for him previously.
Also, a hell of a lot of development took place for our device between May and August. I know you weren't around here, but I got my 4X over a year ago so have seen all the development changes almost from the first day.

Ah. And, forgive me the stupid remark: What was the topic of this thread? What did the OP want to achieve?
Besides, same issue here. I'd really like to put a custom ROM on my O4X. And to have CWM on it. But "Justin Case" I need a way to flash the original .kdz images on Linux. And no, don't start with things like Wine or VMs. It's stupid enough that one has to buy a Windoze license to maintain an Android device. Here is M$ free zone, the only Windows I have are for light and fresh air.

first of all, the way mentioned to flash kdz is through the lg support center. did u see any lg support center for linux based os ? so u cant complain here for the windows its lg fault !!!
so for the lg support center to work, u need wine or virtual machine to run windows.
now if there is another way to flash .kdz in linux based os, i'd wish to know that way too.
<<EDIT>> and forgot to mention, since u get all the way and unlock the bootloader, u dont really need to find a way to flash kdz. the worst case scenario is if u cant boot and cant go into recovery. u can just re-flash the recovery which is about 4 seconds work. its lame to go flash back all the stock recovery and rom if u gonna go again for a custom.

kessaras, I didn't blame the community. My point was just the question being for a way to flash .kdz using Linux, and the recommended tool didn't cover that at all. But don't we start a flame war here: I fully agree with you it's totally LG's fault. I wonder why most (not all!) manufacturers come up with their own proprietary formats, which all require OS dependent tools to be managed in an official way – while it couldn't be too complicated to support the update.zip variant, which would be completely OS independent (and work wonderfully, as all my tablets prove with stock support).
Re-flashing the stock ROM is still required if you need to send your device for service, and for that we need a way to flash .kdz. So let's get back to that topic

Wine is a finnecky "tool"; while the OP might've stated that "WINE didn't work for him...", I appreciate the comment from the Ubuntu user that he DID have success with WINE and the "LGFlashTool". I realize that this is a year-old thread; while I'm sorry to post to it a year later, I do hope this information helps someone else running Linux. Here's a screenshot proving that it IS possible to run the "LGFlashTool" in Linux (WINE) on my Fedora20 PC:

Depending on the Linux distribution, and the architecture of the system (64bit is tricky), you might have to look at the errors, if any, when running it from a terminal. I'm sorry but at this point I don't exactly remember the exact steps for the procedure; so, it may be straight-forward as far as wine goes.
I have to say, though, I may have jumped the ship on saying that "it works". I got the GUI to run among other things, but I wasn't able to get the file flashed. I gave up after 3 tries, and used a WinBlows7 laptop. Sorry to get your hopes up; however, I'd like to know if you or anyone else gets this thing to function correctly in Wine. Sadly, it always seems much easier to just use a Windows PC than having to debug Wine.

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

I've made this thread to help people who have some problem and make new threads instead of searching the common questions. In my next post I will start posting the FAQ's and since it's not possible for me to be online 24/7 so it may take sometime but i will keep updating it. And if anyone have some doubts feel free to ask. BTW Ifeel free to PM me if you have some ideas or nice questions to improve this thread

Q1: I get bootloop after installing a custom rom. What is the problem?
A: Have you done everything correctly?
-Firstly post your problem in the ROM thread as the devs there may help you better.
-Check your mobile compatibility with the ROM
-Check if you have installed the correct kernel for your ROM.
-Check whether you have done the correct wipes as mentioned in the ROM thread.
-Some ROMs require formatting system. So if it is mentioned in main ROM thread then you must do it.
-Some releases may require stock rom first before flashing the custom rom. So flash the stock rom and then the custom rom over it.
If nothing works just download the stock ROM for your mobile and flash it using flashtool. This may solve your problem.
Q2: Can you suggest me the best ROM or kernel or something like that for my smartphone cause i'm really lazy to do a bit of searching...?
A: as per XDA rules a user is not supposed to ask for Best rom, one can go to dev forum and try some roms and decided which is best for them
Q3: I have rooted my phone successfully, now how can I install CWM (ClockWorkMod) Recovery?
A: go here download the the cwm and follow the thread properly to flash there
Q4: I have a problem with this ROM and what should I....
A: It's a ROM specific question, better post it in the ROM thread. They will help you better.
Q5: What is the safest way to root my phone or unlock its bootloader?
A: There no such thing as safest way. If you do everything correctly you will be successful in rooting you phone and unlocking the bootloader
Rooting - go here

Q6: How do I deodex a rom
A:go here and flash the zip as per ur fw version
Q7: How do I back up my TA partition
A:use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598
Q8: How do I build a kernel for SP
A: go here
Q9: From where i do download stock ftf files
A: go here where u need to flash these files through FLASHTOOL
Q10: How do I OC(OverClock) or UC(UnderClock) my phone?
A: If your kernel supports the function and if your ROM has inbuilt option for the fuction then you can do it directly from ROM or else you can buy/download apps like SetCPU for your phone and can use it easily to OC, UC or change governer of your CPU. *Playing with your CPU is at your own risk and if you go anywhere wrong your phone might not be able to recover(permanent brick). So if you are a newbie(noob) just stay away from these things*
Q11: How does Thanks Meter affect my profile?
A: Thanks Meter actually is not useful in becoming Recognized Contributor/Themer/Developer. It is actually the appreciation you get on you works. Thanks Meter has been made so that members of XDA stop posting just THANKS on threads and thread could be clean and helpful.
Q12: How to be a Recognized Contributor/Themer/Developer?
A: Recognized Contributor is a role intended for members who produce some of the best original and helpful guides for users, as well as helping other users who have problems, in a friendly manner. Recognized Contributors will get a custom user title and the faster ad-free XDA template, as well as access to developer tools currently being created. Any Senior Moderator on XDA can add Recognized Contributors, should you feel deserving of this title.
Recognized Themers are those users who work (often tirelessly) on designing new theme graphics and user interface overhauls for ROMs. Users who aspire to be Recognized Themers should be creating original graphics work for their themes being released, demonstrate a commitment to crediting other users’ work when applicable, and seek the relevant permission in advance from the original creator. Recognized Themers will receive a custom user title and the faster ad-free XDA template, as well as access to developer tools currently being created. Any Senior Moderator on XDA can add Recognized Themers, should you feel deserving of this title.
Recognized Developer, as the name suggest are those who develop really good ROMs, kernels, etc. Anyone who is skillful and publishes his own creation other that just copying and pasting can be termed as recognized developer.
For more details and how to apply for these posts. See this.
Q13: Why does my phone say Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No?
A: It's most probably a simlock. The mobile you bought has a simlock of the particular company whose SIM is being used. Normally the companies used to provide the unlocking code after sometime but now I think it won't be provided from now since simlock unlocking has become illegal. But you can break your simlock through WotanServer, Omnius or some local shops.
Q14: Can you tell me how does thanks meter increases with regard to number of thanks?
A:No. of Thanks and meter:​​
0-25

A: Mainly every kind of text formatting that we do in XDA thread is governed by BB codes. Here is the list of all the BB Codes we can use in XDA and explanation of each code.
Q16: Is there anyway to mount my sd-card using CWM recovery?

I need 12.0.a.2.254 for c5302
I need 12.0.a.2.254 for c5302. Can i get the link to download the ftf file?

hi. i just bough my xperia sp last week. i have a very noob question since im all new to these: will this rooting method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440375 (doomlord's method) work on a stock xperia sp? (literally out of the box, with the latest firmware v.254). thanks a lot. im quite undecided if im gonna root mine cause im afraid ill brick it.

Unlocking No or Yes?
I have a question: in my fisrt attempt to unlock bootloader, on the step to confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader, the configuration "Bootloader unlock allowed" sayd "No". So, i´ve flashed the newest firmware for C5303 (2.254) and now, the configuration "Bootloader unlock allowed" said "Yes". It´s "YES" really? Or am i risking to brick my phone on unlocking bootloader? (Sorry my bad english)

Root 12.0.A.2.254
Hi Guys.
Sorry for the newbie question, but I didn´t find the answer...
If I follow the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440375) to root my phone I will loose my data and configurations?
It is necessary to make the Wipes?
My phone was with firmware 211 and I had done the root successfully, but he upgraded to 254 and lost the root. When I open the SuperSU it presents the message that the binaries are not installed. Is it really necessary to do this procedure or is there another way to retrieve the binaries SuperSU.
Thanks,

Hello
I don't think there is any wipe needed in this method.
If you really don't want to setup your whole phone again, try without any wipe. In the worst case you might get some force close. Do some backups anyway before trying to root because you might loose data accidentally. It sometimes happen and more often when you try to tweak / root your phone.

Want original boot.img for xperia sp for building custom roms
Hey I am building a custom ROM for xperia sp(C5302) so where should i get original boot.img for it
I am confused

so basically im new at this stuff and id never do a "root" if i didnt had to cuz Wi-Fi is broken on xperia SP and had to do something about it... my question is, since i heard the new version 4.3 of android coming for xperia sp, would i be able to update it normally via sony software or ill have to do this all bootloader unlocking which just by reading makes me puke. thanks

Even if you are rooted you can still flash an official ftf (for example official 4.3 when it's available). You might need to use flashtool instead of pc companion though ( I'm not really sure of that but I think you can easily find more info about that when you need it).
Bootloader unlocking is only to use a custom kernel. It is for example needed if you want to install a ROM based on aosp (pure android) instead of the stock Sony software. You won't need it and you should avoid that if you are not really sure of what you are doing.
Back to your Wi-Fi problem, the fixes available for root user don't really enhance it. They only make it a little more stable. It's not really worth it to root just for that and unless you have lot of free time to spend in this you should wait for version 4.3. There's many chances it will be fixed.

I also wanted to know, what'd be happen when Sony originally release there stock version (4.3 or 4.4 whichever come first for SP)?
Now i know the answer, that, i can get back with my Official STOCK ROM which i backed up at very first as a .tft file.
thank you very much
keep going, guys!!

[Q] HTC M8 to dual boot Android and Windows

Hi Everyone
Just read on several sites how the latest model for Verison will Dual boot into Windows 8.1 and Android.
Is there a way to add this to the existing / original Android M8

Where did you read that?
Theres no way they would release a verison with 2 operating systems especially when android has been widly available for the device. Theres currently no version of a bootloader that has the right environment for windows adding an android boot to there bootloader "to try and even get back to android" Unfortunetly android is open sourse and windows is not, they would have to release there sourcecode to the developing world if they wanted to dual boot with android and they wont. so its up to us to exctract it on our end to make android 's boot loader able to dual boot into windows and hopefully find a way to get back.

it's not the source code which Needs to be released...it's the bootloader which Needs to be extracted and opened to get it working on the android Version! and that's difficult unless someone like cotulla will work on it!

Agreed im just saying we wouldnt need to extract it if they just handed it to us to work with and i hope cotulla does!

Where did you read that?
Theres no way they would release a verison with 2 operating systems especially when android has been widly available for the device. Theres currently no version of a bootloader that has the right environment for windows adding an android boot to there bootloader "to try and even get back to android" Unfortunetly android is open sourse and windows is not, they would have to release there sourcecode to the developing world if they wanted to dual boot with android and they wont. so its up to us to exctract it on our end to make android 's boot loader able to dual boot into windows and hopefully find a way to get back.

From http://www.anandtech.com/show/8390/htc-announces-the-htc-one-m8-for-windows
For some users the most exciting prospect of the HTC One (M8) for Windows may come from the fact that it shares the same hardware as the One (M8). It's possible that the developer community will be able to load the firmware from the HTC One (M8) onto the device in a dual boot configuration with Windows Phone 8 so users can switch between the operating systems as they please.

This is one of those, "Well it might be possible to if developers can figure it out" quotes. As the others have posted, there will be no absolute easy way to do this and a lot of the pains will be on the bootloader side. If someone DOES happen to figure it out, I don't see it happening for a LONG time (This also counts as hope for someone to prove me wrong ). We can only be hopeful that HTC failed to lock down something they should have done.
The HD2 was like the holy grail and I don't see that same sort of configuration happening again.

Htc has in m8 wp8.1 version something like s-off for android devices...in one m8 wp8.1 forum there is a thread where a guy is writing about the whole thing why it won't be that easy to mod the OS etc

I'm a daily "hourly" reader of engadget and they have posted about the version with windows but Verison is not releasing a dual boot version it is up to us to make that happen! Read alittle more carfully before making assumptions. Its possible "maybe" but its allot of work as snickler said its saying whats possible not whats out. Also im with One-M8-Master on this one, check out the thread it should clear a few things up on the boot loader side. lets all hope someone gets lucky and does it!

In another thread, this has been released. here

I moved this thread back to One Q&A since the moderating team decided that's where it belongs, but I'm closing it since we now have a single discussion thread for porting Windows Phone 8 to the current m8s. Please continue the discussion there.
Thanks,

Running Android APK on Windows Phone, current status

I found some old thread about installing APK files on a Windows Phone 8/10 (let's say Lumia 640).
It seems that it was possible to do so, but isn't anymore unless you install a specific verson.
Did I get that right? What's the current status of runnung Android or iOS Apps e.g. a game like HayDay on Windows?
I found this here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...apk-installed-unsupported-devices-sd-t3175843
This was found by a Google "last month" search:
https://tunesgo.wondershare.com/windows-phone/run-android-apps-on-windows-phone.html
Is this still valid or is it outdated?

This is all way outdated, Microsoft has already said they wont be adding the android subsystem.

Ah ok. I thought it might still be possible to get an older version on the phone where this still is enabled.
But obviously not.

No. Microsoft removed the Simple android subsystem kernal. Its not possible now

This it not possible anymore. It was possible with certein versions of Windows Phone, but was cancelled in the following versions.
