Microsoft Surface RT

[Pavle Stojanovic]

Hey guys,

My wife's school has at least or almost 200 of them, they decided they were
shit and put them in the dungeon (storeroom). I'd like to revamp to let the
kids use them again? But according to internet people and Reddit the
firmware is locked down and can't be unlocked so I can run Linux?

Do you know if you can do it? I have machines to test (When I get a charger
from ebay)...

Cheers,
Pavle.

I believe there was a certain situation where the bootloader keys could
be extracted due to a faulty update from MS, but other than bypasses or
exploits I think you are S-O-L.

Have a look here:
