Hey..
That is a HTC HD2 .. It runs Windows Mobile Edition on stock..
There are many phones which have WM on which Android can be dual booted i think.. Cos Android is pretty open source and can be ported to the phones..
But the other way round Windows Mobile for Android phones seems difficult .. Considering that its propritery and closed source.. So no way to port it..
As the person above me said. Android is open source, and thus can easly be ported to diffrent devices. Windows mobile is not open source and cannot. If you want both you need to buy a windows phone.

How about if dual android boot. Let's say android 2.3 and custom rom. Is it possible?
GN multimedia - Xperia arc
Yes..
Search the forums there are a few threads and guides i think..
You can dual boot or just flash backups through recovery..

Hi everyone, i just bought a Xperia Arc and its currently running Android 2.3.2
My questions are:
1 - Which is the latest version update for Xperia Arc ?
2 - I tried to look for an update using the "Sony Ericson PC Companion" but it says that there is no avaible update. Why is it happening?
3 - The fact that my carrier is "VIVO" (From Brasil) means i can´t update my Phone?
4 - Is there any "Safe" (I know every way may brick your phone,i´ve flashed tons of custom roms on galaxy phones) way to update it to the latest version (or at least to 2.3.3 where i´ve seen some cool features) without breaking my 3G connection with my carrier ?
5 - I Know ICS is going to be released for our phones,but,will the update be Global or Carrier-by-Carrier like ?
Thanks in advance for any help/answers.
I will stay tuned here !
Flash with flash tool.
Debrand it with generic 2.3.4

Can i flash a "Global" Rom that works in every country,with every carrier ?
That would solve my issue,if theres any 2.3.4 (Which i found to be the latest version) rom (STOCK ROM,not CUSTOM) that i can flash safely.
Waiting for answers.
Where are you developers ?
Read the stickys.
Search for flashtool and read how to use it.
Then search for 2.3.4 generic world and flash it with tool above.

Is it already rooted?
Safe ?
Does 3G Works with worldwide carriers ?
No it's not rooted (well you can flash pre-rooted one)
Yes it is safe.
Yes 3g works.

Last one,do you mind linking me a "how to" guide so i can follow it?
I´ve found this on on Youtube,but im not sure if its the same step-by-step: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmmThXTWu74
Also,Flashing this global rom,will prevent some apps from SE like TrackID to work or whatever ?
I´ve read it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650
Look in general and devs section, there are tutorials.
Im on phone so i cant copy/paste link to it.
Someone will give you link,or ask flo95 for it.

Hi - wifey has an Xperia Arc S (unbranded UK). Its still running gingerbread .... is this right ? Checking for updates says that its on the latest version but I keep hearing that Arc S users are on 4.0.3 and even 4.0.4.
She is on 1254-1957.
She wont let me flash any custom ROMs
Don't know way
But you can use flashtool to flash stock rom too

My wife is the same she won't let me near her phone... In her words,I am always needing to restore backups why? Because of some mod update etc.
As regard your main question it could be because of the phone carrier, not releasing an update.
I have t-mobile arc and they haven't updated to ics according to pc companion always shows I have latest software, but flashtools will upgrade if you can convince her to let you.

Flashtool is an software mainly made for the xperia x10 but works (i think) on all xperia 2011 devices. Makes my life much easier
You can read about it here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
It's made by two guys from xda.
Also, if you need any help using it i will help you to get started
Is there a possibility that some dev is planning to make a CyanogenMod for Xperia M that bootloader cannot be unlocked?
I am asking this because there are already available solutions for other (more popular I guess) devices.
Thanx

it's impossible,because you have to unlock BL in order to have the CWM...you must have CWM to flash cm11

It's a NO.
CM requires custom kernel,so bootloader must be unlocked
hello ,
I Wanted to know if ROMs of xperia S would work on My xperia SL AS well ? I was looking forward to flash my xperia SL with mokee ROM or MIUI but was unable to find A special customized ROM for xperia SL n i read sumwer that Xperia S and SL has the same one. I would like to know if its really true and if not which ROMs are available for my phone. ?*
thank you , please suggest me a way.

According to GSM Arena, Xperia S and SL seems to be the same. They got the same chipset, same GPU and pretty much the same hardware. Only a few minor things seems to differ.
But I find nothing about Xperia N (Misspelling? Typo?)
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_sl-4894.php
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_s-4369.php
But I cannot promise it would work. On a logical level, these devices can differ. Even to a grade where a kernel might not be able to fully initiate. (With a kernel panic as a result)
Addresses, busses, partitioning scheme , flash ICs, and other stuff can differ. It could be a completely different board, even if the same chipset, GPU and other hardware is the same.
The only real way to be sure would be to compare these two devices side by side on the inside.
Is it worth the hassle?
One could try to flash a S ROM on the SL device, or the other way around, but make sure you can recover from a paniced kernel first.
One way to recover from a such state would be opening the device, and hardwire JTAG connections, if there are any.
I don't have too much experience recovering from seemingly bricked devices. different devices behave differently. Some have a simple preboot mode which one can use the USB connection to transfer firmwares over. Even when a kernel is malfunctioning completely. Others just become hard bricked, requiring using JTAG connections or similar hard wiring to recover.
Ok then cn u suggest a good ROM fr xperia SL alone? I mean if u cn tell it would b helpful. I tried to find one but couldn't. If not then ill hv to try doing what u said.

You went too complicated Mate. Xperia S and Xperia SL are exacty same, bar some software changes. No need to perform jtag and all to restore, You just need to flash back the stock firmware.

Yes I'm absoulutely sure. I own a Xperia SL and have been used all of the Xperia S ROM's on it. Mokee is good, just use a stable build, not a nightly/release one. You can Google for it. But for installing a Mokee ROM, You need to unlock Your bootloader since You require a custom kernel.
Sorry I m kinda new to routing tell me about custom kernel ?? I have already rooted my device by using flashtool.

First copy the ROM.zip and gapps for that ROM to phone.
Then on PC, extract the boot.img from ROM.zip.
Connect Your phone to PC powered on. Using fastboot, flash the boot.img to Your phone with following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
You will find fastboot.exe in "C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib"or where ever You installed the flashtool.
Then Your phone will have a twrp installed. Just boot into twrp, and flash the ROM!
Don't forget to wipe 'data','cache','dalvik cache', 'system' before You flash the ROM.
Then after flashing ROM, just wipe 'cache' and 'dalvik cache' and flash the gapps.
Important: This will delete all Your apps. But Your videos, images, music will be safe as it is stored in 'sdcard'.
DON'T WIPE 'sdcard' AT ALL.
i Downloaded the zip file of mokee ROM but couldnt find gapps file . Is it possible that its inbuilt ?

Nah. Gapps are never included in Kitkat ROM's for Our phone. Here is the link.

1.7 is not minimum, it is the maximum frequency Our processor can handle. And taking it to 1.9 would kill the battery and phone or render it highly unstable. You won't feel a lag at 1.5 ghz at all, trust Me. Been using at 1.5ghz, the phone doesn't feel slow at all and definitley faster than stock ROM's..
