My friend had recently purchased a Samsung GT-18750 from another friend thinking I could install android onto it. After hearing his proposal to do so I thought It'd be possible but I knew nothing about Windows phones. So he had given it to me and I have had no luck in my search for installing android onto this phone. I understand that there are plenty of custom ROM's for it but I need android as you can't do much with a windows phone that you could do with an android, also that windows has no good apps or games that are at least common in any way. So I was wondering if there was anyone who could direct me on how to install android onto a Samsung GT-18750?
Is this another "hey I have a windows phone here that I want to shoe horn android onto" dude seriously go buy an android phone as there is a lot more android phones out there to choose some so this request pardon my lack of manners is just stupid

For now it's not possible because requires a signed custom ROM.
Actually there are no "real custom rom", only modded CSC file (configuration file for rom) that edit the Registry.

Anything that will put any sort of android on there. I do not care if it is modded or not real or rooted or it voids the warranty. I would just like to help my friend. The main issue is not having the android apps he wants. Even if there is some way to get android apps on there?

I have an android phone, I have a jflte with the Pacman 4.4.4 ROM. What the gentleman couldn't understand is it wasn't I that had purchased the device. And if he had read it then he would understand that from that post he could of never determined that I had not bought an android device, in saying that his implication was to say that I would need to buy an android device to get android. He did not read the post, and as it seems to me that you concludes that he had, then I am only to left to conclude that he has trouble understanding the English language in its full form, something else that lead to suggest his lack in understanding of English is the way he constructed his statement; although it may not be true, he himself left enough evidence to believe so. So you must understand that either he did not read the post or does not understand English.

Hello all! I jump from phone to phone when ever I can catch a broken one to fix for nearly free. I recently ran into an HTC HD 7 and am not really vibing to the windows mobile 7, and from what I read there is not currently a pre made rom available for installing android on this device. I am pretty technologically advanced and feel confident given the right direction on how to accomplish this I would be capable of creating one. I have read a lot of information but am some what lost mainly because of some of the lingo terminology, being that I haven't hacked/developed outside of the ios platform. I can program in just about any c based language. Any one got ne thing that can help me out here? If I build one how would I install it or go about uploading it to the device? Thanks in advance for any replies I do greatly appreciate all your time! I apologize about the noobness like I said ios is whats been available to me for the past few years, and now I want android like a kid wants candy!!!

Developers/programmers have been trying to figure out how to dual boot the HD7 (like the HD2) since it came out. The main problem seems to be how WP7 is compiled .NET and C#. WP7 securitys still aren't fully unlocked.
Take a look at the Project Haret thread, they seem to be making some progress at it and if you have the know how, maybe you can contribute.

Thanks for the heads up, appreciate the reply, btw where is the thanks button? sorry this is my second post here. I started to do some research into it. I believe the answer is in the coredll.dll file which may be stating the obvious. I think the way to go about accessing this or at least what I am going to try is an attempt to gain root access with my device tethered to my comp from terminal.

Your welcome! I've read through the whole Project Haret thread and there is alot of information, (some way to complicated for me) trial and error and it looks like as of recent there has been some good progress towards getting Haret to perform and (hopefully) run kernel mode and actually boot the kernel. You might be right, give it a shot or maybe put it on the thread and see what kind of feed back you get on it!
Is your device unlocked yet so that you can gain access to it and try it out?
Personally I would love to see the HD7 dual boot WP7 and Android. Don't get me wrong... I thoroughly enjoy WP7 and love my HD7it's very smooth, fast, stable and not once has it crashed on me. I believe that it would bring a longer life experience to the device and make it that much more versatile, especially since we're nearing the end of official support.
The thanks button should be there now, under the posts.

Ok so I realize I might sound like an idiot considering everything I said can be found within the haret documentation. I originally read something found on google with inaccurate information after you told me about the project, come to find out the information I read was in no way affiliated with the the actual project haha. Forgive my stupidy, I began to read and follow along the documaton for it at htc-linux.org, the only thing I am having issue with is obtaining haretconsole to explore the device. The link on the documentation I believe no longer exists, and I can't find a source anywhere! This is pretty good stuff though thanks for linking me up with it! Have you installed the development tools or haretconsole on a linux OS by chance? I was successful with the developement tools, just need to figure out this haretconsole problem. BTW which desktop OS do you prefer?
Sadly I can't tell if my device is unlocked yet haha. I work at a university doing LAN Administration currently and used my .edu e-mail to register as a developer. I then registered my device but don't see a single difference or maybe I just am doing something wrong. How do you suggest going about that(unlocking it that is, I don't care about it being official, just figured official would be easlier)? Also for the iPhone there is a desktop application which allows you to access the filesystem called iFunBox, is there anything similar for the wp7?
I would just love android lol, I like the HTC HD7 and have always been a fan of HTC products, It definately is pretty smooth and compared to my previous device a 3gs it's lightening fast! 3g isn't supported with the 3gs on t-mobile either. My biggest issue with wp7 is the fact it doesn't do anything I want to be done in a device, I use my mobile browser ALOT and I have never seen a browser period with this many bugs, I installed safari but it's not even the same lol! For the most part I strongly strongly dislike anything related to microsoft, but unfortunately I have to work with the windows platform quite often because of my job. There just such a dirty/shady/grimmy company period, I saw a commercial yesterday advertising bing where they claimed 2 out of three people choose bing over google in a blind study............how can they advertise that when they stole googles code! lol. Also it was a pretty dirty business move of microsoft to do what your talking about with the wp8. They claim there going to continue support on 7 but we both know they all say that and do put the effort towards the legacy system for a short period of time before cutting it. Screwing Nokia out of major growth potential within the U.S. while going back on the promise made to them regarding free upgrades to 8 for 7 devices. I think they feel like there invincible just because they currently run the desktop OS market share. I think their will likely be a major change in the preferred OS within the next 10 years, just because I work in an 30,000 user enterprise that refuses to upgrade their liscensing with microsoft because of windows 8's inability to meet our needs.
Sorry if this message way to long haha

Sorry its taken me so long to get back with you... Been crazy busy!
Unfortunetly I only have Windows OS, PC and Laptop. Funny enough though, I just got my laptop back from the shop a couple weeks ago and I had to have the harddrive replaced. Last week my PC got the BSOD (blue screen of death) and I had to completly wipe and restore it.
My next computer will be a Linux OS forsure. I wish I had one currently to install Haret and play around with it!
The student registration is limited and you can only sideload a max of 3 unasigned apps. You would be better off to fully unlock your device and install a custom rom, this will give you more options to sideload as many unasighned apps as you want in the form of XAP's through IE. Access to the registry/file system and to apply hack and tweaks. you can then familurize yourself with the OS and file system.
I can help walk you through the unlock process, it's pretty easy.
Go to settings, about, more info. post back all the information from that screen. Enter your device into bootloader mode - Power device off, hold down the volume down button and power the device back on, while continuing to hold down the volume down button, this will bring you into BL mode a tri-colored screen. Post back the information from that screen also.We can go from there. The proccess to unlock it basicially is to downgrade the SPL to 3.xxx or lower to install RSPL/HSPL wich will allow flashing of a custom rom.
My IE works excellent. It might be due to what build version that your device is running on. Either way once we get it unlocked there's custom roms running on Tango 8779 build with nice features and the device runs buttery smooth. there's also more mobile browsers available to install once it's unlocked, Opera Mobile,UC browser and a bunch more. There's all kinds of XAP's you can install to cusromize the device and enhance the user experience.
Totaly agree with you on the Android development for WP7 and the above statement regarding MS

Thanks

I want to put an Android rom on the HD7 and overwrite the windowsphone rom or do it so,you can dualboot booth roms. Android and WinPhone.
the simple answer...
Sell the phone if you don't want WP7, the question had been written several times now and it's getting really boring to answer the same... it won't happen because of the security measures on the bootloader.
You want android? sell the phone and get yourself any android device you like...
yes android is likely to work on the hd7.
however no one has figured out how to install it and boot it..
Look out!!! A pig flying!!!...

If nobody noticed, the title was sarcasm...
If a WP7 hardware could run Android, where's the ROM? Where is the step by step process?
The bootloader in WP7 is so well protected that affirming that any WP7 hardware could boot Android is ****** up. it's just an hypothesis that since it hasn't been proved is just a good ideas that doesn't work.
I'm not a chef, not a hacker, I'm a user who waits till someone figure things out and test the discovery for the sake of learning, and later advice anyone who wants help.
I try to talk with my experience, if I fail, I try to learn from it. eg: the Half Bricked and Bricked bootloaders, I know this from first hand.
I don't talk fantasies, once I discover that something is false, I never claim that as real but a fake... eg: the Chinese HD7 that runs Android, that is a cheap knock off.
I never pose as a newbie when I know about it.
but with your postings...
You some times are a noob... eg: "How this can be done, please guide me" or "is this thing good for my phone" (yes you pretended to be a noob, I don't know if it was trolling or because you are such an *** or an attention *****)
Some times you are a master when it comes to ROM flashing... eg: "You must use the HSPL to be able to install custom ROMs" or "You must use y-Cable to downgrade your phone" (yes you helped some people with your very obvious experience, that is clearly not from a newbie)
You claim some things as real when they are already been known as FAKE, like your postings about WP7 hardware and Android.:silly:
when it comes to your "knowledge" dear sir, keep it real but if it is speculative(or your personal fantasies) keep it to yourself, and don't claim that I'm spreading lies about you, I've read every post you wrote about WP7, this three points about your behavior are VERY REAL!
Yes I'm sometime really cranky or even rude, this can't be avoided as sometimes the questions or the answers, like the previous one, are very stupid, but I try to stay true to the knowledge, because a lie can be disastrous if the idea behind it is (unintentionally) wrong or it is deliberated with malice to cause harm.
If you don't like what I said, just change for your own good.
GOOD DAY SIR!
PS: Any form of communication from you would be ignored(erased if possible). One can't take the risk that lying could be a contagious disease... (sarcasm)
Thread Closed
I believe the answer to the OP is "No", and this thread is now closed before it goes any further south.

Hi All
Sorry if this is a silly question but I thought all WP8 updates and Ativ S were done OTA and we didn't need to start flashing Roms like we do for SGS3.
My Ativ S says its on version 8.0.10327.77, isn't this GDR2, Am I missing something?
Thanks

you can't buy one. I happened to stumble into one, and i'm trying to do everything i can to bring it back to normal, since the phone won't update itself.
If I may suggest, there are people on this site who could do far more useful things with a phone like that. Heathcliff74, for example, is working on a root-unlock for WP8 (as am I) and a non-secure-boot test device would be useful to him (though I don't know if he actually needs a device at this time, or what he'd pay; that was just an example of somebody who might be interested). You can probably recoup most or all of the money you sunk into it and give the hacking community a boost as well.
Oh, and @tgriger, we can already do that. I found out how a couple weeks ago. Read the dev&hacking subforum.

i'd like to do that, but i'm from italy... i kind of doubt there is a safe way for the phone to arrive to you intact, plus the fees are outrageous. If someone wants to buy it can talk to me in private thought, i'll see if i can arrange it. But you can't disable secureboot once the fuse is blown, so i think you can't root the device; and the feaure i think it's provided at the SOC level. And i'm a little bit of a rom developer, so if i learn how to change things i can provide a platform for mods. I can even tell you this: if someone pays me the fees and buy me a new one( the phone is like new, it was bought march 2013 and it had no sign of being used a lot, and on expansys is at 230€ so i think it's fair, it was over 500€ when i bought it)

@Heathcliff74 is from the Netherlands, so shipping would not be too hard from Italy. Also I just bought an ATIV S from Amazon.de for a bit under 200€.
A non-secureboot device would just be a test platform, not something that it's expected that all devices would be able to make use of. Secure Boot isn't perfect; there are ways around it (some are device-specific, which is less ideal but seems likely to exist on most smartphones; others are not). However, while some people hack on SB, others could hack on making *use* of the ability to install custom ROMs. That's where an unlocked bootloader device would be handy.
Also, yeah, there are lots of European phone hackers. No need to worry about sending it to the US!
It's an interesting device for sure. But there is no way I can afford € 200 now. I have a wife an kids to support too, you know. Maybe at a later time.
Never Said it was an obligation- only stated what i thought was a fair price. If someone wants it and has other proposals I'm listening.

So, i would say we could donate to you, that you can afford the device.
Depending on how many users would hop onto this idea, it wouldn't be that much per person
Well, if you're fine with that idea, you can count on my donation

I got an old X8 with Android 1.6 from ebay a few months back for the fun of it and I've been trying to install cyanogenmod or something similar on it so I could use it as a portable emulation device. Now I'll be honest, I'm a complete noob. (My greatest computing achievement is installing Puppy Linux on a laptop 5 years older than the X8.) I've scowered these here forums and other places on the web far and wide but still came out unsuccessful. I couldn't even figure out how to boot it in fastboot mode, which was the hurdle that killed it for me. I think so far I've only managed to root the thing, whatever comes after just keeps flying over my head. So here's what I would like to do.
-Install apps capable of decently emulating systems such as the PS1, GBA, GBC, N64, MD, 32X...
-Connect a gamepad through USB or BT (If even physically possible)
-Preserve the media playback abilities of the device as it came, as well as the ability to take photos
-Being able to browse the web and watch videos would be kinda cool too but I know it's a stretch...
I know that all the stuff I need is probably still out there somewhere but as I said I am a *complete and utter* noob with honestly little skill and patience.
So if anyone here is willing to help me with any guidance (or perhaps even a step-by-step guide, oh my!) on how to squeeze the best out of the wee thing with the best ROM, be it Cyanogenmod or anything else, or get it to work with a proper controller with the best apps and stuff, I will be very grateful. I'll offer you my French skills if you need them lol. Also sorry for writing a text brick...

Alright. Where should I get it from? Sorry if I sound like a moron but I really want to make sure I get proper guidance so I don't brick this little beauty.
hey guys, I was a windows phone lover, but as we know, i got forced out... so as I'm nkt a snob, I won't own a iPhone, so im trying my best with Android, but am not happy how intrusive Google is, I don't really care for Google either, and I feel they're watching my every move, and id like to ride dirty if I want to without someone watching me.. if... I felt like it.. sorta creepy if you ask me, plus Google ruined my buddies phone for downloading a video game they say was pireted, so im not ok with that, as the phone was my buddies property.. so.. yeah, that's my feelings on all this, miss windows, don't own a computer, just a boy and his stalker android phone, that always seems to have issues with software, afraid to turn my phone off, because for whatever reason, android phones don't like to turn back on.. for me anyway, hello everyone

thank you, I don't know how to do that sort of thing, and ware I live, we don't have phone lines, so no computer access, so I would need a way to do stuff either buy using phones own storage, or SD card, or to another phone, and a male to male cable linking the two phones together,, but as it seems, I'm guessing my Stylo 5 isn't root friendly, so idk, thanks for any help info you can provide, also, I'm having major problems with senior members, I posted a help question, and no one has responded to it, but if I comment on others posts, asking if they fixed the problem, or what I should try, it gets removed, then I suggested someone with a broken phone, hook a Sim card up to another broken phone, after getting the one networked unlocked, if it still didn't work, and putting in the other phone... and got message not to post illegal stuff on here.. it wasn't illegal, seems everyone wants to keep removing my posts, and talking crap to me, but no one wants to help me with my phone problem, I don't understand, I need help, not policing, thanks, if there's anything you can do to guide me or help me, it'd be appreciated
