Ports to Android-based devices are easy because there is existing linux kernel with working HW adaptation. Same goes for N900 and N9.
Ok, I can see that there is no existing linux kernel compiled specifically for Asha 311. But what kind of HW documentation would be needed to begin to do such a kernel-or-whatever?..

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.
