blend the cd and pour what fits into the usb port?

 

[mavroxur]

That made my day

Maybe you can toss the cd and phone in a blender, that should get the CD in the phone?

EDIT: Lol posted before I saw first post, to funny.

Solution in 3 easy steps:
Invent time machine;
Go back in time;
Prevent yourself from buying the phone in the first place;

> implying phones are not computers

Come on author, you can do better than that.

Is that the new BSOD? (Black Screen of Death)

Insert disk #22 and press button to continue. Just like in Monkey Island.

I wonder how many people will try to root their phones just to get this message, photograph their phones and post it on Facebook.

If there's a USB port on the phone, maybe you can use it to run an external CD drive?

 

[de5_Roy]

what's next, "press clt+alt+del to restart"? "keyboard not found, press any key to continue."? "please insert microsoft office installation disk #2."?

lol, classic!

On a more serious note though, as it's built on Windows for desktop, potentially utililising the same kernel, it makes you wonder about bloat and memory utilisation of the OS on the phone?

I hope Microsoft were really able to completely strip down the OS, so like a micro-kernel, but if it runs on an Intel/x86 cpu, it makes you wonder...

... Windows Phone doesn't run on x86. On the other hand, there are Android phones running on Intel chips.

What about a CD image on a USB pendrive?

 

[natrapsmai]

This isn't an actual error. I wish whoever was posting these "news" articles to TH knew the difference between fact and fiction.

 

[rebel1280]

all humor aside, how big is WP8 compared to Android 4.1 and iOS6?

 

[tanjo]

External DVD Drive OTG.

 

[Guest]

The error is real, but it was confirmed as a fail attempt to hack the firmware, that proves 2 good things: WP8 is hard to hack and the phone is based on NT kernel.

 

[back_by_demand]

Serves the user right, tried to bodge his phone and screwed up, went to MS tech support with his tail between his legs - 1337 FAIL

yeah was thinking the same...

 

[f-14]

phones have a USB port right? well plug in that external dvd rom drive!

 

[ddpruitt]

This isn't really all that funny, it was basically a setup that is almost guaranteed to elicit this error (READ the article).

If it would have been a stocker then it would be different.
