it's very interesting to see a "non compatible phone" from WP7 running WP8, clearly Microsoft lied to us in the face about the upgrade process to jump from winphone7 to winphone8.

I don't think that this ROM for Leo is a real WP8 ROM. Infoscreen and Marketplace looks a bit different on WP8. (e.g. screen resolutions is missing in infoscreen and win WP8 marketplace is called store). I think ansar has done some registry editings, maybe bit more, and now WP8 marketplace is available in WP7.8.

Well not many updates since long.. but Ansar as far as my understanding / Knowledge goes .. The compatibility warning should still not prevent you from being able to install apps .. If you please you can enlighten/ tell us more .. what exactly is happening with the issue ..

Just look at this if you don't know. It's possible :

WP8 can't run on HTC HD2 and it's clones (HTC Mozart, HTC Trophy) = LIE

To be fair, its a bit academic if its a lie or not, not having it in the public essentially means it can't happen, or won't happen to be more exact. There are a bunch of things that can be done, but haven't been done, win mob 5 on the alpine being one, wm running as an app within wp being another, both of these have been shown to be working , both never were released. Does that mean DFT an co are full of BS lying to us all? No, in my opinion it does not, in my opinion it shows us that they are unwilling to release buggy incomplete code. The only thing they are guilty of is showing proof of concept work as working code without explaining that its going to need a lot more work to actually get finished

I have a couple of questions that I can't find anywhere else..

Is it possible (even the slightest) to port drivers for a phone to WP8?

Or would it require a bootloader unlock/wipe of a phones system and internal emmc storage?

If that's the case I'm f*cked considering I'm using a motorola device.. lol.

Sorry guys, just had to ask. I don't think its been asked before or not.

To my knowledge there is no means to tinker with the innards of any WP8 device AND have it persist and be usable. Its Tighter than a ducks bottom

There is nothing strange to ask about releasing the ROM. You should not tell such things. People want to ask a question and that's the reason people ask to get answered. But if somebody asks does not mean every second person is going to ask. I understand you are Moderator but it does not mean that you should impose something too much.

Hey Davit,

Because im a moderator, i can see all the posts that have been deleted in this thread that asked the very same thing (and in other threads). We ask members not to continuously ask for updates as it it completely dilutes the usefulness of the thread, makes it way too long to navigate and quite frankly is a waste of server space and screen real-estate.

This isn't a new request, one or two are tolerated, what isn't tolerated is hundreds of members asking the same thing repeatedly; this upsets not only more seasoned members, but also the Developers in question and us Mods; with 5 million members im sure you will appreciate that if this isn't controlled it can easily get out of hand.

Cheers.

(btw, this thread will again be cleaned once this post has been viewed)

Hi Ansar,

Since Cottula dropped his work on HD2, you're our (HD2 owners) last chance to get WP8 on it

!

Hello Guys,

I am new to WP8.I brought a Lumia 620.I dont know much about WP8.I have found some cer and crl files.will it do any good in the process of unlocking the bootloader ?

MicTimStaPCA_2010-07-01.crt
MicRooCerAut_2010-06-23.crt
Microsoft Windows Phone Production PCA 012.crt
MicRooCerAut_2010-06-23.crl

No. Such files only contain public keys. Unless you could replace the files with ones containing our own public keys, that doesn't help us; we need to be able to use or control the private keys (or bypass the code signing entirely).
