Transformer Prime Asus Bootloader on playbook?

**Awesomeslayerg** · 04-22-2012, 12:03 AM

Im wondering if the Transformer Prime Asus Bootloader unlocker will work with the pb and we can finally install windows 8 on it.. So did anyone here have luck or anything?

Asus doesn't care about 'security'.
Asus provides the bootloader key for Transformer Prime.
RIM cares about security.
RIM will never provide bootloader key for Playbook.

The two devices are entirely different. The keys are not the same.

So we need to threaten(kidding) RIM for a bootloader key? Meh if i had a 2nd Playbook. There would be so much i would've done to it :P

RIM is focused on enterprise. You can't threaten them unless you're some big company :P.

I think you need to be the gov't of a big country.

Even if you had a second PB, this would not work, so I kinda fail to see what you'd have done...

Love it, lets use an Android boot unlocker and install Windows 8 on the QNX Playbook. Am off to hospital now to have my sides stitched back up.

Thanks for making my day

The unfortunate (or fortunate whichever way you look at it) is that as the forums get more users, they also get watered down. Look at XDA nowadays... 40% of the posts are irrelevant, with 40% people telling the others they are irrelevant and only 20% useful.
