I have this Prototype but it is not completely android. It still got the BB10 software so is it possible to flash android on it? I use it on my day to day basis with android apps right now
Hey do you still have this phone? You could help to lots of people to let us download firmware. There is few of us waiting for respond so its possible man please could you collaborate with us ?
I have an NFS Key 2, enjoy your Passport! I passed up on an NFS Passport a few weeks back. 2G started going away this month from the last carrier in the US.
@@macrayurish3552 yes because it's different from any other Passport's out there, it has another software besides the operating system that makes it all work (and as a prototype it doesn't have the same scurity as most Passport's out there)
@@cliftondigital243 Some ideas, for the blackberry passport or others : - review how it performs on normal tasks (productivity, internet, games etc) - use it personally for a month and give your impressions, in 2022 - review it against another phone
Thanks, unfortunately I run my business from my main phone (Fold 3) so I can't commit to using anything else for longer than a few hours. The passport sits on my desk and does get used now and again for simple things, the android version is so old that most things are starting to not work so well. I will see if I can make a follow up in the future though!
can you share this procedure with us or give me the files so we can help others to enjoy blackberry once again blackberry community is eagerly waiting for this bro trust me. if you dont want to be involved in issue do share me files personally so i'll hand over this to blackberry community and it will be anonyms or take royalty anything you want but its a req from our side brother.
Assuming that the comments from other Passport users were responded with 'it will not work on retail', does it mean that you run a debug/developer/engineering sample or else? Or that was about broadband (AT&T for instance)?
Yes it's an engineering sample. I've heard the Passport was initially supposed to ship with Android, but since it didn't conform to Google Services Guidelines due to the screen having a 1:1 ratio, it was never released.
@@MohanedWageeh No problem mate. It says in the description that you cannot install android on a retail passport and that this is a prototype unit. This video is just to show that such units still exist. Have a great day.
Blackberry world isnt working and the andriod version is 4.4 on my passport. Im just using it for phone calls and emails :/ I want to upgrade my Passport to andriod 5, anything it takes guys. Pls
@@cliftondigital243 Who says anything about it being done on a blackberry, I call it 'KiaOS Passport' cause it combines a Non-Touch OS [Lo-Usuage == Lo Price] with the best Keyboard Design [Tranckzone w/Config Zones, 4-Row Keymap w/Bottom NumRow] & Form [1:1, 5" w/1080p or 4.5" w/720p]
Please Blackberry , what's the point to produce the mobile phone with keybroad again ? and just with single camera with small screen ?, who wants to buy again ? This design looks stupid , why some people says it's cool ?
Please note, this is a prototype device and not a retail unit. It is not possible to install Android on a normal Blackberry Passport.
can you backup the rom or firmware ?

This is so cool. Thx for sharing 😊!
Thanks for watching!
very interesting to see! still hope to get my hands on a Passport one day 😁
One of these is for sale locally. It's tempting to buy it
😂i bought it
@@sautronjohn lol
Looking forward to sharing this android version. I really hope it's revived
But they sold off everything...
Very cool! Does it by chance run Google Voice? I'm sure it would as it seems you have no issues installing most apps from the Play store.
where did you get this phone?
Ebay
A real BlackBerry of the small kind at last!!! Put me on your trials list - preferably right at the top!!
Sorry, it's not possible to install this on other passport devices!
@@cliftondigital243 you're telling me this is the only passport that could ever do it
@@macrayurish3552 yes because it's different from any other Passport's out there, it has another software besides the operating system that makes it all work (and as a prototype it doesn't have the same scurity as most Passport's out there)
I don't know. I have a passport and I want it to run andriod 5...
ANYTHING IT TAKES! :/
Please make a follow up video !
I can do, what would you like to see in it? Not too sure what I can cover in all honesty.

Is the battery a Type C charger?
Also, I heard version 003 had the ability for wireless charging, unlike 001...
But how we can do this to our BB Passports that lay in the closet and not used ?
Can you make Tutorial?
That tutorial would go VIRAL!

Sorry, there is no method to this. It cannot be done to retail versions.

@@cliftondigital243 and now Sammy's fold has that square 1:1 ratio and users dislike how apps are not optimized for said square screen
I despise google
Some how I've lost my password to passport, have any idea how to recover? Virus has effected all my other phones out of China.
Does the microhdmi port work? Very cool!
Then for what you are sharing with us if you will not provide the step of installing the android?
How rude.
@@cliftondigital243 polite reply, deserve to be unfollowed and disliked, keep it up genius

I wonder if you are able to get into the bootloader.
Yes, volume down and power button for 10 seconds seems to work if I remember correctly.
Hallo i have Passport OS . How can i upload Android System?
Can't be done. Sorry.
Probably not fully compatible with towers
What do you mean? As in cell towers?
Too bad this one is prolly the only one in this galaxy :(
There are a few more for sure, no idea how many though.
Hi, why is it not possible to install it on other bbpps?
Blackberry world isnt working and the andriod version is 4.4 on my passport.
Im just using it for phone calls and emails :/
I want to upgrade my Passport to andriod 5, anything it takes guys. Pls
It is a real blackberry passport?! Work the Keyboard?
It is real and yes the keyboard works as normal!
Does it work for Q10
how install android to passport? please manual!
Can't be done sorry.
how did you get this? congrats
Thanks, I got it off of ebay
How can I do that
It can't be done on retail passports. Sorry.
change processor appropriate
@@dashginsultan9319 but how any tutorial?
Can you still text and call?
Yes, connectivity is fine. Although the bands are US whereas i'm in the UK so it means 4G signal is bad.
can this be done with the classic?
It can't be done with any Blackberry unfortunately.
What we wanted, but if we can't have why not support a KiaOS Passport
Bootloader is locked down, so no support other than what blackberry themselves install.
How can I do that
@@bilalsohail2364 I'm going to start a Indigeo with 3D Models & a Simulations of Software
