[GUIDE] Deploying Astoria Packages Manually To W10M

Hi everyone,

After several days of sniffing Windows Update traffic and lots of downgrading
, I've found a way to get Astoria installed and working on the HTC One M8 for Windows. that's right..
In THEORY, this should work for all devices that aren't supported by Astoria project.

The reason for this: In the process to go straight to 10536 directly from wp8.1,
the needed aow.wim file got pulled by MS (for security reasons i suppose
and i have no idea when or if they will bring it back).

Requirements:

-installed WDK,WPAK,WPDK (containing iutool.exe) get it there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wind...g-wp8-t3183972
-w10m build 10536 installed on phone
-usb connection to pc
-astoria cabs

Here are the direct download links of the needed astoria cabs:

Instructions:

-Go to iutool path in cmd with admin rights (usually c:\program files (x86)\windows phone kits.1\tools\bin\i386)

-Type "iutool -l" to see if the device is connected and recognized.

1 put only the first cab (10166) to a new folder like c:\cabs

2 then type: iutool -v -p c:\cabs

3 it should push the cab to the device and start the update.

4 there might be a error 0x8024a110 but it should work.

5 the device will automatically reboot very soon and go to flash mode (gears) to apply the cab.

6 then there will be the usual "data migration".

Repeat steps 1-6 with all the cabs in correct order one by one.

Astoria should now be installed and working.

There are already guides on xda about getting apk's installed via wconnect.

bug in Project Astoria, it is possible to run Android 5.0.2 on a Lumia device!

According to wmpoweruser.
Microsoft Windows 10 mobile update to Windows Phone brings with it a lot of new features to the OS, including a very controversial feature – the Android subsystem that allows Windows Mobile to run Android apps.

While a few people theorized that this could lead to security issues with Windows Phone which is as secure as Android is insecure Microsoft’s strict restrictions on the use of system APIs helped squash those fears. Today, WMPU learned from certain individuals that it is possible to install and run Android on a Windows 10 mobile device using a bug in the Android .
