I'm currently backed flashed with a BB flash. I have all iOS gear but am transitioning away from it (will go to Android phones next fall). Dumped my iPad for a Surface Pro a couple days ago.

Can you MHD flash with an Android emulator? Though I could just flash my wife's old original Kindle Fire to Kit Kat and use that (as it just sits there doing nothing), I'd rather use my Surface. I went the BB route before MHD became recently popular and may want to try MHD in the future.

I have been using MHD flash via VMWare Android setup on my macbook without issues, EXCEPT for last weekend when i tried to flash back to stock and my macbook ran out of memory (stupid outlook identity files taking 80GB of memory) and the flash crashed mid flash. In the end I reflashed with a JB4 BE Flash specific to IJEOS and got back on the road within an hour.

This was the only time i had issues and I have flashed back and forth multiple times.

I understand this as perhaps an interesting academic exercise, but it seems pointless as a practical matter because you can get a $40 Android tablet from Amazon that will work. People pay $40 for the DCAN cable . . . .

back when I tried to androidx86 with vmware, I couldnt get the mhd app to run. Do you have any suggestions?

Already have the cable. I'd rather just use my Surface for everything (coding, JB4 logging and flashing). Again, I can flash my wife's old Fire to Android and use that - it's more of can it be done on an emulator.
