Hi guys,
I just converted to Windows phone platform as I previously used a LG G3 Andorid device. I used xda developers alot to Mod my device such as Root Access, Unlock Bootloader, Custom Recovery and install Roms and Kernels.
My question is - Is there the same sort of things for the Windows phone? This forum for Windows 8 isn't as straight forward due to different devices that are all in the one forum " Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking "..
Could someone point me in the right direction where I may use some developer tools to unlock bootloader etc or install kernels to MOD my Lumia 930? Or is there such thing?
Hope I can get a response...
Thanks in Advanced!
Anything? These threas doesn't get acknowledged much as androids

It's not about the attention these forums get, it's more about all the guys are literally tired answering questions like these ( no pun intended ) .
So basically for now it's a "NO" for all your questions, you can't unlock ( i mean filesystem access ) your phone, and surely can't modify the bootloader, in this aspect WP is not like Android, it's focused on security ( enterprise in mind ).
For more on your question please refer to this thread > The first thread in "Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking, literally "
Also, as per the rules, please don't bump your thread more than once per 24 hours. 12 hours may seem like a long time to wait for an answer but it's still annoying when people do that. The WP community is a lot smaller than the Android community. On the other hand, as VSparxx points out, you could have had your answer easily with a little research. Currently, hacks for WP8 devices without SD cards are extremely limited. Samsung and Huawei have sort-of-custom ROMs (only limited modifications possible); HTC and Nokia don't even have that.

This version of Note has a different hardware. So this is the wrong forum (and you double posted in the other forum already).
If you search for your device in XDA you'll find many threads related to that question and with no results.
If you want to know how to flash an android device: read the tutorials that are sticky in every forum of every device. No need for the next spoon feeding...
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!

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.

Hi All,
Its been an age since i have visited the forums mainly down to my own mental career,
But i am now "back in the loop" with android devices and also i am now starting to embrace Windows Phone
So i have a question,
This is what i am wanting to do, and i am wondering if its something thats possible, and if so are there any sure fire guides on how to do so
I am basically wanting to create a custom image for Lumia 930's, i want to be able to create an imagine with some applications already embedded into the image, for example Microsoft Lync 2010, and some Nokia applications
any help would be gratefully appreciated, i have done some ROM work on android but this is completely new and alien to me
Regards
Hello,
welcome to Windows Phone community!
Sorry, with WP devices you can't create custom images because all bootloader are locked.
Hmm,you can using microsofts tools that are included in system centre 2012, but not being an enterprise user its a pain, ok dokes cheers anyway

We may be able to in the future, but we're currently far from that
Hello there, as the usual disclamer English isn't my native language please excuse any mistake.
Im usually one of those silent users, who learned lot of stuff with my previous android devices (SII, Young, Ace2, and so), today i found myself with a 635 from Movistar Argentina.
I wanted to do a Suggestion post, to help me get in order for newbies the info about Lumia, would be my first usefull post, but as im not an expert i decided to do a question thread. Maybe i can latter make the post to help newbies as me to find a starter info with link
The point is, i found quite messy the info regarding Lumia phones, for example
There are methods to take from W8 to W10, unlocking, reflashing, etc.
In this moment i have like 10 tabs on windows devices trying to understand, and not ask with the "help help me plz" post.
So, the point is.
-At the moment, there are not Specific forums for any Lumia device as for example the S5 forum. (i couldn't find any with the search) we only have this sub forum of W8 phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8 . And also is not separed on W7 W8 and W10, we have just this one, First error, there ARE sub forums for W7, W8 and W10, but there is a W8 RT and a W8 what is the difference between them?
-If you want an specific forum we should vote here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1660354
-There are Unlocking methods, flashing and de-branding but not all of them function with al models.
Regarding deeper on this info.
We can change from W8 to W10
We can flash a Custom Windows (i assume?) Operating System
We can de-brand (take out logo for example?)
We can unlock
There are ways to install android on WP (as a professor used to say, if you want to go faster buy a bigger engine don't tunne it, so go buy android )
But i also found a thread about Phone internals, so....this internal are before or after or independant to flashing o unlocking?
¿Did my question get to the point? im trying to do a Dummy guide for new-ones like me to not spend 2 hours looking arround XDA to finish posting the "help me plz" post hehe. I saw in android forums that you can get a "read here all you need" post.
Thanks for the help!!
Can't delete the post.
Found a Q&A post here. Sorry, couldn't find it before. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2467581
Hello
2 months ago i bought a Lumia 521 for just 24$ in eBay it is great but the last week i got kinda boring and i want to change the device , play with it !! (like get root access , install costum rom etc.)
I started googling for development and installing custom roms in it and every search result shows me WP Internals
-So i installed in my laptop and i want to try now getting root access and installing custom roms and other stuff!
But before i get into the game i want to ask some questions:?:
Q1. I enable root access what after that , how can i get the tweaks that Heathcliff74 is saying in his website!
Q2. Where can i find custom roms for my device! And step by step how to basiclly install them!
---------------
NOTE : I TAKE ALL THE RISKS AND IF YOU TELL ME HOW TO ROOT AND OTHER STUFF YOU DON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope there is a good mind that can help me!!
@Heathcliff74
BTW sorry if i am making a duplicate thread or i categorized it wrong!!
Sorry for my bad english is not my mother tongue!!!

Right now, there are no 'working' custom ROMs for Lumia 52X-devices. There is a project underway on XDA to put Cyanogenmod 13 on this device and they have made excellent progress so far, but the WiFi/2G/3G/Bluetooth/Camera don't yet work. They'll likely work eventually, but no idea how long this will actually take. Other than that, nothing else is available to my knowledge. Recommend waiting for now to install unless you absolutely don't need the device.
