Support for Windows phone is ending and I don't want to give up my old phone just yet. Microsoft Lumia 435 android rom: Is it possible, would it require me to root first, would I retain full functionality or is it limited? Would I be able to use all Android apps like a regular Android phone/up to date play store etc.
Are there any other downsides? Hope someone can help me out, thank you in advance.
If there isn't a rom for my specific phone is it possible to use another one?
Astoria for it

Can I safely and manually install the latest Motorola Android 2.1 onto my T-mobile My Touch 2 3G (same as a Sapphire) ? If so what do I need to do at power-up to start the update.zip file ?
Thanks for the help !!

PS. This is the update I am talking about:

Droid is a model of phone (yeah stupid name but whatever) that has completely different hardware to your MyTouch. Bigger screen, faster processor, hardware keyboard etc
Hey guys,
I'm pretty sure that this question has already been answered but after going through many threads, I still don't get it, haha.
I have got a MDA Touch Plus (Htc Touch Dual) from T-Mobile UK which is set with Windows Mobile 6.0 (version from 2008, the oldest one I believe). I'd like to update it to WM 6.1 or above (6.5 ?) but I have no idea how to do that.
I tried to get the official version of WM 6.1 from the htc's website, it said that the software wasn't suitable for my device.
I managed to download it anyway using another HTC Dual Touch's serial number but I don't feel confident trying to install it when the website stated that it wasn't suitable.
Here are my questions then:
- Is there a risk of damaging the mobile phone if I try to install the official version that wasn't apparently suitable for the mobile phone ?
- Where can I get a version of WM 6.1/6.5 that will work with my phone ?
- Is there a guide to install it ?
- My phone is unlocked so I can use my Orange's Sim as well, by updating it using an unofficial version of WM, will the phone stay unlock ?
I apologise if my questions are quite silly but I haven't got any experience in customing ROMs and all that kind of stuff ^^"
Many thanks,
Tomas

you should see the same problems with you at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526378
I checked that post and that's how I made my way to the Main HardSpl/uspl (whatever it means) thread actually.
I found some interesting stuff on how to proceed, I'm just not really sure of what I'm doing.
Thanks again

I'm looking to buy Omnia 7, and as i haven't caught up with all the stuff needed for an interop unlock, what should i look for before buying, ie: OS version or bootloader version so that i can interop unlock it?
Is it possible that the phone cannot be unlocked if someone updated regularly through Zune to latest OS version?
Thanks guys!

You don't need to do any flashing to dev unlock your device. I have one running 8107 with tethering and all you need to do is go to http://windowsphonehacker.com/windowbreak on your phone's browser and click "windowbreak me" and follow the steps. When you're done (takes about 5 minutes tops) you'll have dev unlock and tethering, if the device you buy doesn't already have it.

Please dont lie to him. Many people (and also Me) are having the same problem - Non retail device when using Wp7 Downloader or USB error (206) when using DFT and nobody knows how to help us. Type non retail device in google, You gonna find many topics, many problems and tears ;-)
I dont know how to check it before buying, You can ask about version of WP and Zune updating, mine shows that i have the newest version. (ha! ha!)
So i should just check if the phone is updated to 8107 before buying?

I'd suggest you look in the 920 forum. The problem is that the american variant of the Lumia 920 (RM-820) does not work with ROMs from devices from the rest of the world (RM-821, RM-822 - China). I don't know if there is another RM-820 ROM that does include Hebrew. Also getting Nokia ROMs has gotten a lot harder since Nokia closed off their servers - previously there were tools that allowed people to download any official ROM to their PC.
Hello my name is Alex and I am from Greece (my english are not very good ^_^ )
So... i bought my lumia 520 on August 2014 and lately my phone just lags a lot, i've downloaded a bunch of roms but i could not make it work flawlessly. Can you please help me to find a code (product code) to download a rom that work fine for my lumia 520? Please?
(Windows Phone 8.1)
Also can you please teach me how to keep my phone in a "great shape" ?
Thank you very much for reading... <3
I hope you can help me!
Love from Greece! ^_^
Hi Alex.
you have to download official tool from MS: "Windows Phone Recovery Tool" https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=525569
just follow the steps in app and it will install the latest available ROM for your device.
and believe, it will be the best, if you will keep phone in a "great shape"...
to keep phone in a "great shape" a bit harder...
you must NOT forget, that you have a budget (low-cost) phone.
so do NOT expect it will work same way as flagman phones...
the most important think you must remember is do NOT keep any not used apps (that you do not use every day. want to try smth? install it, try, and uninstall/remove)
and do NOT install apps on SD-card. never ever!.. it's simply slows you phone.
those rules just based on my experience in using 520 in everyday life.
hope it will help you.
