[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] PYCON:
Hello everyone ...

I have pointed out that this guide has been reported in several forums. Many Italian forums ma not only, international' ones published this small howto ...

So I say ... THIS AFTERNOON I'LL UPDATE THE 1st POST WITH NEW GUIDE FOR EVERY WINDOWS 8 RELEASE, FROM THE PREVIEWS ( developer & customer ) up to RTM (FINAL).

Stay tune... :laugh:

can it work with an ipod as usb drive nad can u compare the list of files
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] PYCON:
Everything with :

* UMS Mode ( USB MASS STORAGE mode )

* 12 Gb or more free

can be used for this Windows 8 Live Usb

:good::good::good:

EG : my creative zen MP3 player with a SDHC of 16Gb... works well :victory:
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] e.mote:
The official name for this is Windows-to-Go (WTG), and Win8 already has an image extraction/apply tool in DISM. There's no need to extract the contents first. To image contents from Install.wim onto the USB device in one step,

DISM /apply-image /imagefile:[path]install.wim /applydir:[USB_drive:]\ /checkintegrity /verify /index:#

The Install.wim from a Win8 ISO can have multiple indices for different versions, depending on the ISO. For example, the Win8 Pro ISO has two indices, 1=Pro, 2=Core. To find the index number for the desired version,

DISM /get-imageinfo /imagefile:[path]install.wim

DISM has many other options. For more info, DISM /? > dism.txt and peruse the text file, or search the net for its other uses.

ok i did it again partition is active instal.wim is applyed and we come to last thing "bcdboot" i keep gething the eror Failiure to copi files i run cmd as an administrator and everithing.. any sugjestions ?

Windows To Go requires 80 minutes onto my Lexar 32 Gb Usb Key... This method 11 minutes with the same result :victory:

U'ven't the partition onto your Usb Key marked as ACTIVE or created as PRIMARY instead of LOGICAL ( or both these things ) ;)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] kind3rgarten:
I tried this and got all the way to the end and got an error message when trying to do "bcdboot.exe f:\windows /s f: /f ALL". The error message is "Failure when attempting to copy boot files". I have already copied the files to both the root of f: and f:\Windows and have tried both places with no avail.

Do you have any suggestions?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] deth667:

nope in Disk managment it says Healthy(active,primary partition)

can a lack of hdd be the problem?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] e.mote:
>Windows To Go requires 80 minutes onto my Lexar 32 Gb Usb Key... This method 11 minutes with the same result

It's the same thing. The GImagex you used is a front-end for Imagex (from Windows IAK), which DISM replaces. The /checkintegrity /verify options given will slow down the process for the benefit of integrity checks--which you disabled--but I doubt the speed diff is as large as you claim.

Notes:

. Most USB flash keys do not work. You need a specialized USB 3.0 key (actually an SSD in key form), or a USB SSD or HDD. There are workarounds (see below) to flip the removable bit on the USB key. I've not tested these, since USB HDD are faster anyway (even USB 2.0). USB SSD would be the best option.

Workarounds: http://agnipulse.com/2012/03/filter-drivers-removable-media-fixed-disk-windows

More WTG info: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/36470-Windows-To-Go-on-non-WTG-USBs

. Suggest using 32-bit Win8 to make your WTG, since that will run on more systems than the 64-bit version.

Jibuzz, chill. I noticed the title, but didnt notice the OP updated post down below.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] PYCON:
Really strange... :confused: What USB HDD r u using ?

Uhm... ya this ok, GImagex is the same engine under WTG :angel: But I've tested with some USBs... My Lexar 32 Gb, SD inside Creative MP3 Player, USB HDD Lacie ( 1 Tb ), PNY 16 Gb... All USB 2.0. And no problems... :rolleyes: Most important is to create a primary partition and set it as active... For bcdboot, if there's a problem, it's useful to run CMD with admin properties.

CP, DP and RTM... I've tested these releases since April 2012... :cowboy:
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] PYCON:
MSC => Mass Storage Class

MTP => Media Transfer Protocol

If u use a simple USB KEY, it uses obviously MSC mode.

If u use an MP3 Player, a SD inserted in a phone, etc... u've to check that the device uses USB MASS STORAGE mode :cyclops:

Can I install multiple OS and set bootloader for selecting OS at time of boot on external HDD?I successfully installed one.but want another.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] PYCON:
u've to try a multi boot utility, like xboot or yumi :highfive:
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] dada.81:
I realize this might be somewhat off-topic ... I'll create a new topic if you tell me to ... but I wanted to pick your guys' brains.

Any chance that one could boot a Windows 8 (non-RT) USB image on an Android tablet or phone like an ASUS Fonepad?

The Fonepad's using an Intel's x86 Z2740 Atom CPU, and will have a microSD slot (hopefully, USB-host-mode also), but I doubt the UEFI bios will be there...any chance to emulate one...or something else on an non-RT windows 8 version please?

TIA
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
This technique works fine with (micro)SD cards too; no need for USB host mode.

Whether or not the device is willing to boot off of removable storage is the first question, whether Win8 will install on it is the second. A device that isn't meant to be multibooted may well require some hacking to get it to boot off of any removable volume like an SD card or USB Mass Storage device.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Aniruddhagupte11:
By this method can we force to install windows 7 or 8 on fat32 and boot as I have an old laptop . It is very slow so I need of which run on filesystem which do not create history or does not use algorithm like journaling.

Thanks in advance:)

We can use this method to install windows 7or 8 on internal HDD using recovery mode . I have personally tested this method for internal HDD but for NTFS. Has anyone tried for fat32 on external or internal?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
This method does not allow for fat32.

Besides, usb is incredibly slow compared to internal storage. Fat32 over usb will be slower than ntfs on the internal storage. The CPU performance difference between fat32 and ntfs is also almost negligible even on very old hardware. You will gain no noticeable performance boost from fat32 over ntfs for general usage.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] joshkun:
Tablets

Can we use this method for booting windows rt on a tablet? :o
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
no
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] joshkun:
Waooow very short and sound like given up already :silly:
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] SixSixSevenSeven:
Short and sound because I cant be bothered to point out the glaringly obvious fact that this will put the full blown

x86

windows 8 on a memory stick and I am pretty sure that you are referring to

arm

based android tablets which are mutually incompatible. Even if you tried this with windows RT which is for ARM it still wont work, the UEFI signatures are all wrong and you will be missing the drivers for specific hardware.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] wonderdroid87:
Hello guys I followed the guide to the letter, PyCon thank you for the detailed guide, but I have problems towards the end of the proceedings.

from step 4 I can not select the partition makes me want to select!

04) from disk management builted in windows, choose the partition of the USB key used and right click to "mark partition as active" So THAT the PC can then use it to boot
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Yeah, Windows diskmgmt.msc doesn't like marking removable drives as Active. You should use diskpart (command-line utility) instead.

Please up vote this post if you are interested in seeing a proper root or a custom ROM (CM7/CM9) for Motorola FireXT (XT-530) just like I do.

I have searched for a proper rooting method for XT-530 but no one seems to have done it with 100% success. Most of them have ended up bricking their device.

If there in enough interest for a port for this mobile, developers here at xda or CyanogenMod maybe interested in working on it.

Please note this thread is only for Motorola XT-530/XT-531
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Hurt:
No one has bricked their Fire XT by rooting. Rooting is a very safe process.

The most used method for rooting this phone is this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1271114

Most bricks were caused by installing incompatible custom recoveries using rom manager.

As of this moment, there is no Clockwork mod (custom recovery) for this phone. However, a dev is working on it and it'll be released soon.

As I said before, I'll be porting CyanogenMod to this phone once GentryLamp releases CWM for it.

Can any one tell me any link to download rom for motorola fire xt??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Hurt:
The only launcher you had was installed as a user app, and you reset the phone deleteing all user apps.

Try this:

-Download any launcher, and rename it to launcher.apk, place it on the SD card.

PS. here is go launcher apk: http://dl.apktops.com/app/201205/GO_Launcher_EX_3.00_fixed.apk

-Tell a friend to send you an sms with a link. say, http://www.google.com

-When you recieve the message, click the link to launch the browser.

In the address bar type "file:///sdcard/launcher.apk", installer should launch and install go launcher.

And this time, please convert the launcher to system app. I recommend launcher pro for this because Go Launcher may be too large to fit on system partition!

Alternatively, you can start from scratch and re-flash the entire ROM from here:

Thank you for writing us at Motorola Customer Care.

With reference to your mail regarding MOTOROLA FIRE XT530, we would like to inform you that as of now we do not have exact information regarding availability of Software Update for this handset in India. However, we request you to keep visiting below mentioned website for future updates in this regard:

http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/IN-EN/Home

You can update your incident by simply clicking on the following link:

You may also alternatively call us direct at the following number:

1800-3000-4343 (Toll free from all Networks)

I think so if we call motorola and forse them to give us softwaer update with new kernel then there might be a chanse to geting update

Use quickpic, it's better than the stock gallery, it might not be as fancy but it gets the work done... also camera360 or Vignette is better than the stock camera. There are better options in the play market. As for launcher the Xperia corner launcher is better than the Motorola switch UI.

May this be a lesson to everyone to avoid buying a Motorola low end device, they won't update the ROM or the kernel, and they won't unlock the bootloader as they think users are stupid and will kill the phone trying to install custom roms. I bought this phone after my year old optimus one died after a update with a corrupted kdz file killed the bootloader (but it still is fixable, just hadn't had the money or time to do it). But now I saw a working JB ROM for the Optimus while this phone with a locked bootloader is still stuck on gingerbread with a froyo kernel, so it's no surprise I'm gonna revive my p500 and run from Motorola like the plague...
