[SORTED] Nokia 1520 /Windows Phone 1

[Member Peter Linu]

Hiyall,
This question is definitely for the gurus.
I have the above smart phone gathering dust. No pin and a shattered glass front and Windows 8.1 inside.
Is it possible to wipe Windoze and install antiX on it?

no it isn’t.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Anticapitalista already replied to your question. Just adding a caution on the Lumia phone:

Lumia 1520 is an excellent phone, particularly camera top notch with Zeiss lens. However Microsoft has dropped support for Windows phones quite some time ago. They dropped it in a pretty nasty way. If you have ‘Find my Phone’ turned on (it was a default) then do not ever try to reset them to factory settings. Microsoft’s ‘Find my Phone’ unlock service no longer works, even if you remember password. Resetting will brick the phone. I have a number of Lumias with Windows 10 and not being aware of the above fact I bricked one of my top of the line Lumia 950, with similar specs as your Lumia 1520.
