Can we run Android on Lumia now?

Why people ask this is beyond me. If you want Android, buy an Android phone.
If you still want it, it will be a big challenge.
You can remove UEFI, EFIESP, MainOS and Data partitions and then add hboot and other Android partitions. But
then you would still need Android drivers for the Lumia components.

Which Lumia's are supported by the tool?

Lumia 520, 521, 525, 620, 625, 720, 820, 920, 925, 928, 1020 and 1320 are supported. These bootloaders can be
unlocked.

Which OS versions are supported?

For these OS versions Root Access can be enabled. To enable Root Access, the bootloader must be unlocked first.
8.10.12393.890

 8.10.12397.895
 8.10.14219.341
 8.10.14226.359
 8.10.14234.375
 8.10.15116.125
 8.10.15148.160
 10.0.10512.1000
 10.0.10536.1004
 10.0.10549.4
 10.0.10581.0
 10.0.10586.11
 10.0.10586.36

I will add support for new versions when they get released.

Why are other Lumia's not supported?

Other Lumia's have different CPU architectures. And these come with different bootloaders. Some of my hacks
depend on the implementation of these bootloaders. Some of my hacks won't work on different bootloaders. I
need to find new hacks for these bootloaders. I will try that, but I can't predict when that is ready. The tool has
implemented all the basics. So adding new hacks will be easier.

Why are other brands not supported?

Same reason. Some hacks work different. I will try to add support for other brands. But I don't know when it is
ready.

I need an Engineering SBL3. Where can I get it?

This search should yield relevant results:

You can download a full Engineering ROM or a separate SBL3 file. If you select an FFU file in the tool, the tool
will extract the SBL3 from the FFU. SBL3 contains hardware-profiles of the phone and it initializes the hardware.
Therefore, you should only use an alternative SBL3 if it came from a phone that is at least the same brand and
CPU architecture as your phone.
