WP7 on HD2 [Cotulla Development status preview] - Windows Phone 7 General

Real or fake? You decide!
Mod Speak: Cotulla is a very trusted developer and would most likely not release a fake video, he is 100% legit in the deving community. He brought linux and further pushed android to the HD2, along with tons of other things .

This. And Da_G said he was working on it. Pretty awesome. Now how usable will it be is the question. Will we be able to get around the per-device cert? Da_G was pretty pessimistic on it.

Form cotulla, must be real..
This guys rocks!!!
HD2 with android!
HD2 with wp7!
Thank you cotulla!

This bootloader looks the same as the one from the Android NAND development.
So this MUST be Cotulla and the Darkforce team.
Cotulla said the following thing on twitter:
"Remember this is just DFT team tests, please never ask about release date and etc. Please don't annoy with questions...Future will show all."
So please don't annoy him with questions like:
"When is it finished" etc.

It must be real~~~i hope it~

Hell yeah!!!
Leo will be the 1st device capable of running 3 OS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot Cotulla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he said dont ask questions

Awesome news ... Knew it was just a matter of time...
Already love the dual boot with WM6 and Android ..
Looking forward to Triple booting on the HD2....

I'm not fully convinced.
It just seems like a similar HaRET boot into Android (noted above), a new splash screen and launching directly into one of the many WP7 skinned apps.
Hopefully it will be out for cooking soon, but we'll have to wait and see...

Fantastic... and I just went ahead and sold my HD2 to get an EVO...
Anyways... great work Cotulla!!!!

Real, cotulla is a serious dev!

Remember, HaRET shows tons of lines of diagnostic information before loading.

It says "FAKE GSM NETWORK" on the phone tile, just like the Windows Emulator does.

that was a silky smooth bootup wow that was hot!
I can't wait to have this for xmas. I was going to get the hd3, but uhm...no need for it in some ways. I don't use cloud so much since you need data for cloud (and tmo doesn't have good reception in some areas)
So in other words
I can stick with this phone till next year with the following running
ubuntu
meego (soon)
windows phone 6.5
windows phone 7
android
This is officially the super phone of the ages

Thanks Cotulla!
Its Cotulla! 100% real!
Its amazing! thanks cotulla!

holy.. ****..

Well, I can see that it looks like that.
Actually I'm trying to make a point. I have had WM devices for a number of years now. WM6 was the last proper advance and that was a while ago and really only made things stable. WM5 was a dog imo
I just find it very telling that so many WM users are trying to get Android to run yet I'd say (prove me wrong) no one who has a device that doesn't run WM is trying to run it.
What does that say ?

It says... other devices are limited to 1 OS, while WinMo has the ability to expand across several. Right now, I'm running WinMo 6.5, Android, and Blackberry software, in 1 phone.
What does that say ?
That says that HTC release some excellent hardware and that there are some dedicated hackers (white hat) out there willing to help out.
Why, what did you think ?

Why would you want to find an Android user trying to boot WinMo? They don't exist.

If some phone with specs better than a winmo phone came out with android on my carrier (sprint) I'd want to be able to run winmo instead. Why? just cuz i like it better.

Again, no video. It's easy to fake screenshots. On the other hand, why would Tom destroy his reputation?
Let's wait and see...
I think I'm going to keep my HD2 a little longer. Not that it's likely that I will prefer WP7S over WM6.5 or Android, but I'm curious to try it...

easy to fake a screen shot with shadow and glare and perfect reflection...
A prominent person such as him is not a person who would let his name get dragged in the mud like that, I'm inclined to believe this is the real deal. Its alot sooner than I couldve ever hoped for, but with the lack of software available at this point anyone trying this without an IRONCLAD way of downgrading is a hopeful idiot IMO.
Still, fantastic news nonetheless.

Of course, if you display it on the phone.
Very easy, actually.
Well, Tom actually says the pictures are coming from Russian hackers, and I'm a member at the forum where this was posted initially. These guys are very reputable and have proved more than once that they have some good sources, but they could play a joke as well.
Good sources? Afaik they just hacked an HTC server.
But you're right, those guys are credible.
Too bad they couldn't make a video, though
Video is up guys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJCFdojbjh8
And that video doesn't look like it's that Throttle Launcher WP7 skin?
not to me...
I say bring it on though
Video seems suspicious to me as you can't see if it's really an HD2 - all you can see is a black shape. But then, these people who have done and confirmed this are indeed reputable...
My prayers have been answered. Granted, I figured it would just be a matter of time... just not this SHORT an amount of time!!!

Guys, this is tom_codon. Just have a look about XDA, I very much doubt he would do this.
As for me, I read in the (other forum) thread that you cannot go back to WM6.5 once installed, as they had to replace the bootloader to get it to work - so this is definitely out of the question for me...
video 2 for all the doubters....

it don't work and it will never work to ( wrong cpu ) only snapdragon cpu's are capable of running wp7

Yeah, I wish It would work. I was planning to keep it as my project phone. It's just too bad. I just got a G2 and it's my first Android device ever. I feel like the TP2 was more hackable.. and I really hate to let it go. My windows mobile/phone days are over
I'm clueless with Android.. I don't know how their programming works, I don't understand how to unlock the img on the phone or even put it in boot loader mode or even root it, etc. It's like I still feel out of place.
Any of the rest of you in a situation like mine?

Almost. WinMo was really hackable.
Though I only played with Android on the Touch Pro 2, so it was glitchy.
I just hope somebody roots WP7 before HTC 7 Pro comes out.
*DROOL*
Bow that's a nice phone. Pity they only put 3.6" but still more than enough.
Closing thread
Extracted from this thread
There will be NOOOOOO devices capable to port WP7 to other than the HD2!!!
I am sorry guys, other than the HD2, there would be no possible ports of WP7 to any other devices. Unlike WM, WP7 has strict hardware requirements, and it being on other devices is highly unlikely and unreasonable to port to because of the limitations of previous devices.
Any dev want to chime in on my generalization, please PM me and I will add your post here.
So please don't ask for one, your post will be closed with out notice and further questions will result in bans.

Honeycomb extracted system.img available for download

I have the Honeycomb extracted system.img from the sdk uploaded to mediafire, (mediafire is a lot faster IMO) if anybody wants to take a crack at it, have at it. Be aware, this is not a rom, this is simply the extracted system.img from the honeycomb sdk, just in case someone didnt fully read the title.

Sorry I didnt notice it earlier, but then again, the sdk was released about 10 hours ago, so, its not all too bad.
It's Android 3.0 Preview SDK, not the final one.

If you count Android version as one OS, it should be many more ;].
Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb.
And not Android OSes: Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7, Ubuntu, MeeGo. Does Windows 95/98 are counted too? If yes, it makes 10 in total, and 8 usable . Of course if we count like we should Android as one OS, it would make 5 systems. Even then it's damn sky high as majority of smartphones run just one dedicated OS.
Isn't Honeycomb strictly a tablet OS? I tried to use the normal HD2 res on it and 240 display density and got only force closes when trying to boot it on my PC.
I have just got used to Gingerbread and now we could get Homenycomb??? Maaan, this would be awesome I only want the devs to take their time to improve Gingerbread as much as possible.
Why would you want a tablet based os on such a little screen like the hd2. Makes no sense to me. I do believe this is one ill stay away from..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Yea ok, i bet if its ported and runs nice u will flash! lol
Just caught eye of this new story. It appears Honeycomb won't be limited to tablets. There's mention of a phone version to be released later this year.
Honeycomb love. Outstanding! Because the preview version impressed me. A lot different from the usual Android. I would love having this on my HD2.
Honeycomb is very nice according to pocketnow

you could have just done it and not post about it. It makes as much sense as the fact the even though u said you wouldnt, you will...
Anyway, HoneyComb Ftw!!! Functionalities are a plus. I bet we will get native 720p out of this one, just like WP7

I am posting here so that any dev that could start working on this would better improve Gingerbread. I wouldn't install it yet, I will wait just like I did with Gingerbread. Nice file though.

Sorry, not every device has a huge development following. RHOD had some very talented devs, as did the HD2. It is what it is, do what you gotta do, c'est la vie and all that good stuff.
However, your post and mine thus far are very off-topic to this thread.
What is on-topic is what is the deal with the download? This is vaporware.
Maybe there's a thread about what to do with old smartphones? If not, we should start one

You talk like you were promised something. Devs dont really have any obligation to make android work, they just choose to give it a try. I already bought a new phones awhile ago, i agree with you, if you want a fully working android os, buy an android phone. Then you wont be so frustrated by "waiting day after day" all the time.
