[Desire HD General] sashank:
The OP is asking for the shipped version for a different reason. The DHD was initially shipped with Froyo and later models were factory shipped with Gingerbread. Now normally that shouldn't matter, because it's just updated software right? But the problem is that the bootloader (hboot) that came with the original Froyo shipped DHD partitioned the device in a certain way, and that partitioning changed with the bootloader that came with GB shipped devices. For DHD's that shipped with Froyo, upgrading to GB via OTA didn't flash a new bootloader and therefore didn't repartition the device. On the other hand, GB shipped DHDs had the new bootloader factory installed. The partitioning of the Froyo shipped DHDs and the GB shipped ones is different, so if a Froyo hboot is flashed to a GB shipped DHD or vice versa, the device will take very long to boot and will just be messed up in general, because the bootloader is incompatible.

To the OP, all this stuff about hboots can be too much to explain to someone, since you said you're asking this for a friend. The easiest thing you can do is to run the latest RUU for the device, which will flash the right hboot too, and then use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit to root and unlock the bootloader.

I'm assuming that the DHD is unlocked and so I've linked to a WWE (World Wide Edition) of the latest GB RUU. If the DHD is carrier specific then there are RUUs for certain carriers that can be found here.
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
That is not true. Inspire and DHD's came originally with froyo and after august 2011 all devices were shipped with GB, so looking at specs will say nothing about with what OS your device came out of the box. The firmware that originally came IT IS very important for these devices as bootloader has been modified in the latter ones and flashing a froyo RUU messes the bootloader in a big way but that does not happen in the former ones. Many people try to root their devices by downgrading to froyo and that is how they get stuck for not reading enough. Just in case, if you are not sure always treat your device as shipped with GB.
[Desire HD General] scaryshark:
If that is the case then you could just report back what hboot you are running and if it's a "low" one then it means it would be a froyo upgrade but if it's a higher then it shipped with gb.
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
Not not necessarily. As some/otas ruus can update hboot. Take my phone for example my phone came with froyo but I have the gb boot that came with the sense 3.0 update

Its best to do what glevitan says and treat them all as if they shipped with gb
[Desire HD General] johrie:
Anyone that has found out how to find out if it is shipped with GB or Froyo? I recently got a spare Desire HD from a friend but i need to know if it was shipped with Froyo or GB before doing something stupid.

[Desire HD General] adilrenzu:
Again repeating wht gelvatin said treat it as shipped with gingerbread just to be safe..
[Desire HD General] gurby1:
if the bootloader is the problem maybe you can see the hboot version of the phone and compare te GB or Froyo hboot

i don't now of it wil give the correct information of the schiped hboot or bootloader

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] erovin:
Is it true that all i9003 motherboards should be changed while it's still on warranty because Samsung used cheap parts? And if it was not changed, the phone may not work properly anytime soon?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] erovin:
Does Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 have this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
No.

You only change it when the internal memory fails, has nothing to do with being 'cheap'.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] aymnahmd:
My i9003 Internal Memory failed , while I had no warranty , so I didn't get a free motherboard. I had to pay 200 $ for a new motherboard so I decided not to pay.

My friend's I9003 also failed after 7 months of use, He hopes he get a Motherboard for free.

Consider it whatever you want, cheap parts, bad manufacturing, Bad quality, ..... etc . But the only thing that we know for sure, is that I had to buy a new phone.

I also had same problem restatrting itself in the midnight and automatic factory reset , then i replaced the motherboard with Rs.6500.loss

yeah, My phone's IMEI and Baseband got corrupted, first I thought that this might be due to EFS damage, but I had to replace the mother board to recover the phone! Rs.17000 (LKR) gone!

I like the S-Line wave grip case I have, it's a slim case and doesn't add too much bulk and adds grip.

I've also got a SUPERGETS Dual layer case, but that adds a lot of bulk, it'll probably have more chance of saving my phone than the Sline but whats the point having a case when it makes you not want to use the phone?

Urban Armor Gear case hands down. I typically hate cases on my phones because I think it ruins the aesthetics and the feel of the device in your hand, but in my opinion the UAG enhances both. Check out the thread here, lots of opinions and reviews:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1826668

ZooGue

I'm using a ZooGue. http://www.zoogue.com/galaxy-siii-social-case/

They were out of the black when I ordered, but the gray looks very good with the pebble blue S3. Lightweight, good fit and cutout locations, buttons are easy to press, has small ridges on the side for grip, but slides out of a jeans pocket easily.

I don't usually go for cases, but this is the first one I've found that I like. Adds just enough heft and grip to make the phone feel "right" in my hand without calling attention to itself. (Unless you go with the hot pink, I suppose...)

I have an element eclipse and and rokform rokbed. Both are on the pricier side but I I like the functionality.

The element eclipse has an aluminum bezel and a sound channel that moves sound from the back of the phone to the front...I still don't understand why they put speakers on the back of phones. It also has a carbon fiber inlay which I am fond of. The case is also very slim. http://www.elementcase.com/Element-Case-Eclipse-S3-a/309.htm

The rokbed has a magnet built in to the case which makes it handy for all sorts of situations. It also has a built in RMS (remote mounting system) which allows you to clip your phone into the base which can be attached to various places taking away the need for a car mount. They also sell bike mounts and trip pods that the phone can clip into. http://www.rokform.com/cart/Rokbed-v3-S3-Case.html

Even tho I'm currently not using it this second. I use a BODYGLOVE case. I love it. Sucks it only comes in gray (when I got it at least). Grip is great, button cutouts are perfect. Bought it off amazon don't exactly remember how much but I believe it was around $15

Cool will do! Thanks for the advice. I got mine off eBay for $50 with free shipping. It was the only one that low and the seller had 100% positive feedback and its brand new in box I assume the seller didn't like the size so an Armor case for the price of a defender is a steal! :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
I had a poor view of it until I tried it but the Seidio Obex is by far the best case I've used. If you want max protection, this is the one to have. Not sure why people look down on it, IMO it's far better than the Armor series and it's drawbacks are minor.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] BigMosley:
I've never seen this Seido Obex in real life but just watched a video on YouTube about it and it looks like its better then the Otterbox Defender how its rugged military style with waterproof but the inside plastic makes it look cheap compared to the Otterbox Armor series inside protection. Then again the Obex is only $50 and not $100 like the Armor so you get what you pay for. Just my two cents.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSWSSG...0000701&sr=8-3&keywords=seidio+obex+galaxy+s3

I don't have any pictures of mine but I got the white version. The white parts are rubber coated so I guess it might get dirty or discolored after a while, mine hasn't yet. I haven't used the armor so I don't know how it compares in actual use but the specs show it is definitely thicker and wider than the obex. The only screen use issues I've had are it can be weird if the screen gets greasy, like if you use it after eating some buttered toast or something but as long as your fingers are reasonably clean it works just fine.

I've read reviews from people saying the back and menu buttons don't work but I haven't had any issues with those at all and i have fairly fat fingers.

Inside the case there are 6 rubber pads that are for shock absorption, I haven't thrown mine against the wall but I've dropped it twice now, once from waist height and once I actually did kind of throw it into the wall (trying to turn the alarm off just this morning) and no marks and no issues.

I think I still like my wife's Iphone5 lifeproof better than the obex, but the obex I like much better than the fake S3 lifeproof cases that are being sold from china on ebay.

Have you got a link to this case? Looks slim and stylish
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mackeystingray:
Just picked up an S3 and a body glove drop suit.

Coming from an iPhone with magpul case I wanted a similar feel, material and cost. It fit all my requisites of being (relatively) low cost, grippy when used yet does not snag in pocket, and relatively slim.

I contemplated the UAG but amazon reviewers report the plastic case starts to crack. Looked cool anyway. Element case was also in the running but price drove me away (except the knock off which is still more expensive than the drop suit)

Others are overly expensive for my tastes and if the drop suit is similar to the performance of the magpul, I'll be happy. So far I've been intentionally careless with it, dropping it on the ground and tossing it around and it's performed as expected and zero damage or scratches to the phone.

3- are the latest version of CM9 work fine ?? ( stable + every apps work + good battery)

Use C-RoM BeaN v1.8.0. It's based on CM10 Jelly Bean which is smoother and faster than CM9 ICS. It has TouchWiz and OTA updates (over the air) and i recommend Semaphore kernel bexause it's very stable and good kernel. And i recommend you to run the V6 Supercharger script too.

Since the first ROM I have a strange problem, everytime I turn my One X off, plugin the charger it keeps not only charging but will power up the device to normal mode eventually - i.e. no special charging mode etc. It sometimes takes several hours but in the end it will always be on which is really frustrating.
