Windows RT

Greetings,

I have 2 impossible tasks for you guys, please help if your certain that you can and have done it before .

I have an Asus Vivo Tab RT, its running Windows 8.1 RT. It used to be on the AT&T network but has since been sold to me.

I've been having trouble unlocking the device, i got the unlock code from AT&T but when i enter it just says ' The device is not responding.' which suggests to me that it is a software issue and that's as far as i ever get.

I've reinstalled the OS, I've refreshed the OS, I've deleted the Sim driver and reinstalled nothing works.

So, since i cannot fix that problem let's see if you guys can, if not, i have another question.

Does anyone know how to install Android on the afore mentioned Asus Vivo Tab RT, its running Windows 8.1 RT. Yes it has secure boot.

I have the Kernel Code for Android 4.2.1 but don't know or understand what to do with it.

As i said, these are both Impossible tasks (from my perspective) if you can fix either task then you will effectively be The " John Wick " of IT.

Just please don't kill anyone "with a F**kin Pencil "

Ive added a PDF if your not familiar with the device.

If this topic is in the wrong forum then please forgive me and put it where it should be.

Cheers guys

I don't know about the unlocking thing, as I've never worked with a Windows device that uses a cellular network. It seems that that tablet is made as a Windows only tablet, and I don't think there is a version of Android for it.

I hope someone can correct me on this but I think nothing can help you on that. Windows RT tablets are protected by the secure boot feature of the UEFI. Unfortunately, Microsoft and other OEMs who made RT tablets disabled the access to UEFI settings unlike its x86/64 counterparts which allows access to UEFI settings and disabling secure boot.

Yeah, im gettin that kind of vibe everywhere , was hoping the xda developers would have come up with something by now. ill keep my finger crossed, i know some people have got through the Uefi restrictions with grub or something like that. heres hoping. thanks for your imput though.
