How to run MeeGo on Asha series of phones?
Hi,
I'm a disappointed customer of Nokia Asha 311. It lacks many basic functionalities. Is there anyway I can run MeeGo, etc on it? Thanks |

Jolla, some long time ago, claimed that they can port Sailfish OS (it's Mer-based, just like Meego?) to any phone (within a week or two?). I wonder if they would be willing...
So far, I haven't heard of any alternative OS on Asha (not that I searched much). The main question: is the bootloader on Asha locked? Thank you. Best wishes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Per aspera ad astra... |

i think its locked. otherwise you have already seen an Android port for it.

Unfortunately this is not possible and with a high certainity never will be.
Regardless on whether the bootloader is locked or not, no port is possible for a device which has undocumented HW. Ports to Android-based devices are easy because there is existing linux kernel with working HW adaptation. Same goes for N900 and N9. For all Ashas and Lumias, as well as for example iOS and BB devices this is not possible, ever. |

Service manual Service manual and schematics Or just search for "RM-714" "Service manual" in engine of your choice (DuckDuckGo was what I used), and the documents will spring out at you. I do not know anything about compiling operating system for a different hardware. I just heard that the reason for BB devices to not-run an alternative operating system is locked boot-loader - that's why that was my first question. Article about operating system of Asha does not mention the boot-loader to be locked or unlocked... Thank you. Best wishes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Per aspera ad astra... |

nirasha_user, Ashas are inferior to smartphones produced 5 years ago, hardware-wise. It's not wise to waste your time on them.

An Asha 311 has 128MB of RAM and a slow as ***** processor. It is an impossibility to have it run anything other than Series 40.
