Rooting SGS2 to Windows Mango

Doc! · #1 (**permalink**) 09-01-2011, 07:39 PM

I want a Mango phone and the Sprint option sucks, so I need a workaround.

Can this be done?

gs2 is not even out yet and you want mango on it? this is a joke right...

No it is not a joke. The SGS2 has been out in Europe for months and the Mango development tools have been out for I think a month. If it will be done just not until the release cool. If it is not going to be possible, then I would like to know so I don't get the phone.

I know its been out but your on sprint and europe has nothing to do with cdma but its not gonna happen I highly dought. What android device out now runs mango or where's a thread where someone tried it?

I have been unable to find anything. That is why I am asking. You guys in here are mostly experts at this stuff. So I needed an expert to answer this question. You have quite a few posts. I imagine you have some knowledge to you. You are believing an Android phone to a Mango root will be unlikely?

I know that Windows Mobile has been rooted to Android as I almost did it once via various instructions from here. Well 2008 actually when I joined to do some research.

Oh yeah...it appeared that the Mango Demo was done on a Galaxy series phone. That made me figure it could be done.

Samsung makes demo phones for wp7, yes..even the original wp7 demo phone was a samsung..but the demo phone never made it into production, the focus did. And it didn't end up on sprint.

you can't run mango on an android device..not because of technical issue involved but because M$ will sue them sky high...

Android is free so it can be ported, wp7 is not free so porting is gonna get you sued...

What is it that you want in a mango phone? maybe the same stuff can be accomplished in android...depending on what you want/need.

There was a rumor of a phone that is like the SGS2 with WP7 instead of android..but I don't know the details and even if it comes to be it may not end up on sprint.

There is another phone coming to sprint i think the htc mazaa but its no sgs2...

It seems that wp7 on the hd2 would indicate otherwise.

I knew someone was gonna say that >.>..but no..see when you buy an HD2 you still paid for a windows phone license..see M$ does not care if you buy winmo or wp7 as they get same amount of money from both..since HD2 runs winmo..M$ "tolerates' the porting of wp7..if an Android device received a port..that means M$ made 0$..and that helps competitors..and that is when M$ unleashes their lawyers on you...
