[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
This is great info.....This makes me understand a lot of things I was trying to learn over the past 2 days. Below I'm mentioning a few points that I have understood.....Please these are just assumptions of my understanding...I might be wrong....Plz cement my understanding by just saying either true or false....You may correct the wrong assumptions...no force:)

1. Users with unlocked bootloaders and the ability to boot into the bootloader (HTC) can do without a custom recovery...as they can do all that we do through CWM using the fastboot commands through cmd. (This point is clarified a bit from ur above post. Bootloader/fastboot mode can only replace a few features of CWM not all....CWM gives more advanced features. )

2. Samsung users have unlocked bootloaders but cannot boot into it so cannot use fastboot commands. They need to flash CWM through ODIN by entering download mode.

3. Download mode exclusive to samsung.

4. fastboot commands be used with locked bootloaders.

5. The boot.img is an image of the boot partition and same goes for recovery.img.

6. boot.img contains the kernel and the ramdisk..so the bootloader location first loads this partition into main memory and the kernel then loads the OS and other stuff.

7. HTC devices have access to bootloader (HBOOT) ie they can boot into the bootloader. From there they can use fastboot commands to direct the bootloader to boot into recovery mode....what this does is directs the bootloader to load the recovery partition into memory instead of the boot partition.

8. Samsung users cannot directly address the bootloader as they cannot boot into the bootloader and hence cannot use fastboot commands. The key combinations (Volume up + ok + Power) that sammy users use to get into recovery are directions to the bootloader to load the recovery partition instead of the boot partition.

9. On rooted phones, we can use apps to do the same thing from within the phone ie we are using apps with root access to instruct the bootloader to take us into recovery instead of using key combinations at boot.

10. Even htc users can do so apart from the ability to directly instruct the bootloader by booting into it.

Your help will be greatly appreciated

Note : Samsung here refers to mostly R and S2 as I know that nexus users can boot into the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
1) I've just used HTC and Samsung. No idea how it looks on SE, Moto or LG

2) No, I just wrote, we don't have it such HTC-type bootloader menu. Lock bootloader means: No custom flashing! unlocked bootloader: flash whatever you wish! It has nothing to do with cwm. CWM was just an example. Forget about it. I am talking about installation via bootloader now (With locked bootloader u won't be even able to install CWM! We have download mode for such installations. And it goes smoothly for us. You can thus easily replace recovery on Sammy but it is God damn hard process on HTC). Fastboot commands are unnecessary for Samsung since we can flash everything we want via Odin.

3) I don't know how it looks on other devices than Sammy and HTC

4) Yes, but I don't know if exclusively. Most of devices have locked bootloaders: Moto, HTC, SE...Don't know about LG. You need a fastboot mode (enabled in bootloader) and use fastboot commands for "heavy-flashing" for example....changing recovery, bootloaders. We can flash bootloaders via Odin but not via CWM, so u cannot really compare CWM to it. On the other hand you cannot do a full wipe in Odin etc.

5) boot.img is always a kernel, it's not a bootloader!!! recovery.img yes it's a recovery image but I've seen it only on SGR, on S2 kernel and recovery are integrated (bootloader is sbl1.img)

6) 7) 8) I am not that theoretical expert, sorry. U must google it. I don't know about booting partitions. But clearly: HBOOT has nothing to do with boot.img (more with sbl1.img). Bootloader is not a kernel partition!

HTC phones have just a different structure of bootloader, they have this (HBOOT) bootloader menu, and one of the options is recovery. (another is: fastboot mode ->fastboot usb, when connected to usb port, and then fastboot commands can be applied) They need fastboot commands for more heavyweight changes/flashing . We don't need it. We have (separately) recovery and download mode for heavy flashing. These are the only modes we can enter with key combos. And that's all we need to be happy!

9) 10) Yes, yes, you and they can do it even via terminal.apk

su -> reboot recovery or reboot download (sammies)

su -> reboot recovery or reboot bootloader (HTC)

Ok hope it helped little bit. It can be some minot shortcomings. I'm sorry but I must say EOT now (call of duties ;) ). I recommend visit some htc, q&a section and read just for fun.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BlitzyMannna:
My Note doesnt have any covers or screen protectors, i dropped it while i was standing. It fell on concrete and there is only a tiny dent on the corner where it fell. if the bezel wasnt there the phone would have been damaged far worser.

My daughter dropped mine on the floor while sitting on the kitchen counter, not a single bump or scratch :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Same happened to me. Fell on a concrete floor (in a parking house), and the only damage was a small dent on the corner. Didn't have any case or other protection on it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dgfriedl:
I've dropped my Note more times than I can remember (at least half a dozen good drops) often on to concrete and two of those times it skidded along the ground on the screen.

The battery door sometimes pops off and the battery cover is scuffed. I have three dents in the light grey plastic trim around the sides (where the buttons are), some barely-visible scuffing of the black trim that stands up around the screen and light, short scratches on the the glass face BUT only on the bezel area surrounding the screen. Interestingly there are no scratches on the glass over the screen.

This is with a bare Note - no cover and no screen protector. I would say that's pretty good build quality. Whenever a reviewer speaks ill of "typical Samsung plastic construction" I chuckle. It's a feature of the phone to me!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] scarlet_sg:
funny i quite agree with this as well... whenever i see a post that says scratches on the note's screen just by putting in pockets makes me smile... i feel as though i am one of the lucky few to have a really tough device... i dropped my note half a dozen times about a meter in height and still working flawlessly... i do have 1 or 2 slight (barely noticeable) dents on the bezel as a result but very satisfied with the note's build.. who said plastic aint worth a s***

i myself prefers the screen to be bare, no protectors... just doesn't feel right with any of the screen protectors
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ahhoe:
It boils down to the angle the phone hit when it land and the surface

I've dropped mine about 7 times or so. Just yesterday as I was getting into my SUV with track pants and it slid out and hit the pavement. Landed on the glass surface and slid. A few dents and nicks on the bezel. No scratches on screen to date.

I don't know why people buy a case for the phone. When the phone is in a hard plastic case when you buy it. Basically you are protecting the case with a case.

My S2 screen got scratched when I sat on it with my keys in the same pocket. My mistake.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rafaeldkt:
you are lucky mate,

It all depends on the place of impact.

by the way, I should admit the build quality GNOTE is not bad at all.

That's why I bought the otterbox commuter for mine. It might add some bulk but with an almost 2 year old son grabbing everything in sight, I feel much safer and I believe that mine would survive such a fall without any marks.

New AT&T S3 ... I followed the instructions to root my phone without tripping the counter. Worked fine, TB works fine, other apps etc. Didn't install CWM as was just planning on sticking with the stock software +root for now.

But now the phone forced me to install some update that I'd been postponing, so superuser is still installed, but apps can't get root.

How do I fix this w/o reflashing that massive tar file?

Eventually I intend to go to a custom rom, but right now I'm lovin' the phone enough that I don't feel the urge to mess with it much.

Thanks for any help.

[HTC One V] dafzuka:
I looked through the existing threads and didn't see this info so I thought I would share what I've found out.

If you're like me, you hate the stock Virgin Mobile boot animation and sounds, so here's how to be rid of them (root required so you can manipulate system files)

The boot animation is in the /system/customize/resource/ folder and it's called "SPCVM_bootanimation.zip". You can download any of the boot animations on this forum from guys like Avilove.Cullen, rename them to "SPCVM_bootanimation.zip" and replace the stock file.

The sound is called "BoltAnimations.mp3" in the same folder as above. You can delete this, rename it or replace it with whatever .mp3 you want (recommend using a very small file - 1 to 5 seconds long). Just name your new file "BoltAnimations.mp3" and put it in that folder and you should be good to go. Personally, I just changed it from .mp3 to .bck so I can keep it there but I prefer a silent boot.

Hope this helps somebody else. It's confusing with all the different models of the One V!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
It's usually because the developer hasn't changed the market info to enable support for jelly bean.

if you have these apps on your phone or other tablet you can backup the apk and try to install it on the N7 and see what happens. Also good to report back to the developer through an email letting them know that the app does not show up, or it does not work.
