Guest arnookie Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 So who would like to see full windows 8 running on Hudl 2? Something good might be coming your way! Duel boot? Maybe its possible. Hudl 2 is not locked down!
Guest Daniel_Twigg Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Would be cool to see. I'm more interested in getting new ROMs on it, such as Cyanogenmod etc. Why isn't it locked down?
Guest pudpoh Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Interesting idea, but not sure Hudl 2 has enough storage space to dual boot windows and android. Also for most people probably wouldn't be cost effective either unless they happened to have a spare windows license knocking about. As the cost of a similar spec'd windows 8 tablet is actually less than the cost of purchasing a windows license.
Guest arnookie Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Android would remain on the device with windows booting off sd card / external storage or full flash to windows 8 only.
Guest Cuberdon75 Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 WANT WANT WANT I've been waiting for dual boot since last year... I registered just to post my support. Is this something you are working on?
Guest Daniel_Twigg Posted June 25, 2015 Report Posted June 25, 2015 I'm still wondering what was meant by "is not locked down".
Guest Cuberdon75 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 Where'd he go? Arnookie, come back! Don't tease us like this!
Guest arnookie Posted July 5, 2015 Report Posted July 5, 2015 Still working on this. Don't worry. :0)
Guest bbthebeard Posted July 7, 2015 Report Posted July 7, 2015 Very interested Waiting in anticipation
Guest arnookie Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) My contact with Tesco support. Subject Is boot loader Locked on Hudl 2? If it is can the software to unlock be given out? I would like to install a custom recovery on the Hudl 2. The main reason being that I would like to make a full rom backup. Also without an official download for a flashable recovery rom, its very hard to recover the Hudl 2 when things go wrong! Do you have any stock rom recovery zip for the Hudl 2, that can recover the Hudl 2 from boot? Can I also point out that because of the issues above it is having a negative effect on sales of the Hudl 2. Yours Faithfully. Russ.

Regarding your other enquiries regarding software, I'm sorry to say that you won't be able to do any of these steps on the Hudl 2 and regrettably we wouldn't give this information out.

Guest Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 I'm sorry, but I wasn't holding out for anyone within Tesco to officially assist other than possibly confirm/deny the bootloader status - if you were lucky enough to find the right person who actually knew what they were being asked. The hardware is capable of many possibilities ...... The true possibilities of the hudl2 will eventually be unlocked, but without a current public leak of the Pegatron Corporation / Intel 'provisioning tool' for it's Intel tablets little progress may be possible for some time - without resorting to extreme hacks as have been disclosed by others in this forum. As the hudl2 is generally a UK only based tablet, you have to start looking at 'other' compatible / comparable Intel based tablets with a much larger user base and active development community to gain valuable experience and possible avenues to try. CAUTION: I've so far 'bricked' 2x units through various experiments in the goal of further understanding. I don't believe these units are 'forever' bricked - just until further hudl2 resources are released (more likely leaked) until then they live no more. :ninja:
