[Galaxy Note II General] adytum:
The glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof, as mentioned a hundred times.

That said, I believe that gorilla glass is more resistant to hairline fractures and cracks going across the glass. Whenever I see a non gorilla glass crack, it's usually across one side of the screen. I've had three gorilla glass phones, I've abused and droppes them countless of times, but never scratched more than a centimeter at most. I do believe other glasses would have caused larger cracks...

All anecdotal of course, but to me it seems this way.
[Galaxy Note II General] Pat.:
I'm very confident that a plastic material as in a flexible screen will be just as scratch proof as my current note screen, after all i use a screen protector & like many people, i have never had to replace a screen protector due to scratching either.

Samsungs design problems with flexible screens aren't to do with concerns of interface durability, more so to do with keeping moisture out as a laminated Organic screen is destroyed if there is moisture ingress.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tomo1971:
Jeezo how many times do people have to told gorilla glass doesn't make the glass drop proof, it means it's scratch resistant.

[Galaxy Note II General] duowing:
People also need to remember that a lot of phones these days have that oil-resistance coating or whatever it is to help reduce finger prints and make your finger slide across it nicely. So a lot of times the scratches people are seeing are scratches in that coating vs. the actual glass.

Also the person who mentioned about what's Corning going to do when Samsung brings out these breakable screens? Corning supplies products for all different kinds of uses. One example is in schools, where much of the glass for Science classes ie: test tubes, beakers, etc are all produced by corning.

That's what I've been saying but its kinda like bullet proof vests. Sure it'll stop a couple but technically they're not bullet "proof" either.
[Galaxy Note II General] EP2008:
Gorilla glass 10 wouldn't be a match for the inside of my wife's purse. The second day she had her Galaxy Nexus (with a case and screen protector), she managed to damage both. Luckily the phone is fine, but I'd rather replace screen protectors and $2 eBay cases than an entire phone or screen.

What is the verdict or opinion on dragon tail glass? I am sure other competitors have some comparable glass, just corning has a name and reputation.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The1nonly1:
I am currently on Omega v9.0 XXBLG1 (Ice Cream Sandwich) but I want to install Jellybean. Can I just flash Jellybean over the top of my custom rom (and lose root) or do I have to unroot, return to stock ICS and then flash Jellybean?

Should I also do a full wipe before I flash Jellybean over Omega?

This is for the UK S3.

Flash and full wipe.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elijahpr:
Hi all,

So, last night I successfully rooted and unlocked my One X on AT&T. Today, I tried putting a ROM on it. I flashed the boot.img first, then tried to install the ROM (Jelly Bean Sense). It failed for some reason, so I wiped and rebooted my phone.

Instead of going back to the stock ROM, the phone now will not turn on, is not recognized on both laptops I tried, and does not recognize even being charged. The only thing that happens is when I press down the power button, all of the soft keys illuminate and flash until I stop holding it. I've managed to get into the bootloader screen once, but the phone reset itself before I could do anything.

The only screen I can get to with the Vol Down+Power combo is the HTC Screen, but it's the one that shows before my custom recovery, with some warning from HTC in red letters at the bottom.

At this point, I just want a phone that works. This is a lot more complex [for me] than rooting and flashing a ROM to the Inspire I had for some reason. I fly out for vacation in two days for a few weeks, so I'd like to be able to avoid having to send this thing back to HTC or AT&T if possible.

ANY help is greatly appreciated.

If it's easier, feel free to Skype chat me.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Im confused.. it won't come on, but you can get to recovery? If you can manually boot into twrp you'll be fine.. may I ask which Rom you flashed? Did you flash the boot.img first? Or after you flashed Rom? Alot of guys will say flash boot.img first.. I don't have that funky hboot but I have to do my cousins alot and his will only boot correctly if I flash Rom first, then boot into bootloader and fastboot the boot.img.

Try that and let me know how it goes

Also... Let go of all the buttons when you see the white screen lol. That means you found bootloader
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elijahpr:
I can get it to boot into the Bootloader screen and the TWRP now just fine, but that's as far as it will go. The internal SD will not mount with TWRP either now.

Here's the ROM I tried to flash: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2055490

I put it on my SD card, then extracted the boot.img to the folder I have my dab/fastboot files in, then flashed the boot.img, then tried to flash the ROM.

If I can get it working again, I'll try to do it in reverse order next time and see if that works. Still trying to find a way to get a ROM on here with my Mac, and to make my SD card work again. Everything on it is backed up so it's ok if I need to wipe it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
If you can get to bootloader, you're not bricked. It's just a matter of flashing the right stuff in the right order.

It could be that your sdcard is corrupted. Factory reset from bootloader will do it, but fixing it just a matter of formatting it again. Can you mount it on your computer? What happens when you plug into your PC?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Your sdcard is corrupt. No big deal but you'll lose everything. Plug it in into computer and locate the storage and try to find a way to format it. Sorry, I have no clue with a mac :confused: I swore off apple products :thumbup:

Anyway, you seem to know the ropes for the most part. If you can format, drag Rom onto SD. Wipe everything in twrp. Cache, dalvick, factory reset, system. Flash Rom.. immediately boot into bootloader and fastboot the boot.img. choose reboot from bootloader. Good luck!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] barondebxl:
Yep, I also suggest doing a factory reset from the bootloader ( which will erase your internal storage) but at least you'll be able to mount your SD card, put a ROM on it and flash it. I would highly recommended you to flash viper 3.0.0, you don't need to flash the boot.img and its pretty much stock JB with some tweaks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] emylibef:
I am having this same problem (minus the custom screen).

My phone will boot into TWRP and all, but it won't mount (PC says the disk needs to be formatted before it can be used). When I go to reboot or anything from TWRP, it tells me there is no OS installed and am I sure.

Can anyone help?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elijahpr:
That's good news!

I tried doing a factory reset from bootloader, but nothing happened. Maybe because the SD card won't mount?

I only have a Mac, with no PC in sight. It doesn't show up at all on here. Fastboot USB, or when I mount it as USB in TWRP. It does however show up as a device in recovery in terminal. But nothing on the desktop. Apple+Android do not mix well!

I'm ok with losing my data, what I'm not OK with is having to use this pink Razr while my nice phone is broken :'(

Thanks for all the help so far!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elijahpr:
I do a factory reset from bootloader, it takes me into TWRP. Now is the only time it will even remotely show up on my laptop, and even then it's only via terminal when I do

adb devices.

Since it can't mount for some reason, is there a way to reformat via Terminal, and maybe even push the ROM to my phone from there? That's something I'm not familiar with.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
Format your sd..drag Rom..wipe..flash..enjoy
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elijahpr:
I can't format because it doesn't show up on my computer, and doing so in bootloader takes me to TWRP.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elijahpr:
Hey dude, I followed their advice (dug out my XP machine) and now my SD card is re-formatted.

Get into the bootloader screen, hit factory reset. (When I did this on mine, it took me right to TWRP)

From there, I mounted as USB and it showed up as needing to be reformatted on my XP machine. Took a few minutes to do on this dinosaur, but it worked, cause everything is gone!

Right now I'm in the process of zipping up the Viper XL ROM (thanks for the recommendation barondebxl, it looks awesome!), which I'll put onto my SD card and wipe/flash from there. (on my Mac now).

Hopefully it works!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elijahpr:
I'm unable to flash ROMs for some reason. It doesn't give an error, just says that it failed. Any ideas?:mad:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
No no no. This is what is corrupting your sdcard. Only do a factory reset in TWRP or once booted up. Start over and format again. Then copy over your rom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elijahpr:
When you and a few others mentioned doing it, what were you referring to?

I've tried three different ROMs now, and each fails without saying why in TWRP.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elijahpr:
Problem solved! Got the stock RUU back on there and it works perfectly. Just re-rooted and unlocked again. Round two..

I reinstall the firmware and official ST21i_11.0.A.0.16.ftf I rooter. Everything went well, the phone works again.

For cons, I have another problem, when I want to update with PC Companion or Update Service already st21i_11.0.A.4.22_Generic.ftf impossible, he told me that the software is modified and therefore I can not not update.

I have mounted my Mugen Extended battery into my Otterbox Defender case. The ultimate protection with battery performance to match.

here are some pictures to wet your appetite!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] samuraiwarrior2:
This is pretty cool and I was actually just thinking of rigging up something similar because my Otterbox Defender case just got here today. Does the silicone outer layer fit over the battery smoothly without modification? Can you post a picture of it all put together?

I'm also a little curious what picture 6 of 7 is showing. Just how much modification did you do to the phone?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Old MuckenMire:
Yeah I'd like more info regarding that 6 of 7 pic as well

I'd almost be willing to send my case away and pay for a mod like this ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chris.k:
OK will post pictures when done tomorrow. a slight bump when silicone attached, it grips on the front really well much solid feel to it!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Amd4life:
How did you line that up properly to cut the square out? Can I assume you used a dremel?

I'd like to replicate this
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xartic12:
Great mod and idea, other than the use of an otterbox and Mugen being expensive. Would like to see this done with a ballistic case and an anker extended battery.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chris.k:
Thanks

Thanks for the comments guys. heres the pictures of it with the silicone skin on! A you can see there is not that much of a bump protruding from the back of the Otterbox case.

This is the ultimate combination for the note 2, as it has the Mugen battery actually installed in the best protective case.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ufvj217:
did you cut the actual OEM back cover as well as the otterbox hard back piece?

x2 on battery stats, the stock battery is awesome but im always down for an extended, and i hear Mugen makes great batteries.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chris.k:
The Mugen battery on the 4th charge after initializing was 4 days and 14 hours till I reached 9% absolutely awesome!

I did cut the rear cover as I had a spare one when I ordered a spare rear casing after my note 2 got a tiny scratch on the edge when it fell out of the windscreen holder when I hit a pot hole! I know I'm anal when it comes to my gadgets lol. I could do this for a small fee as I have a template made already. and the proper cutting tools in my workshop at work.

The phone does get a little bit heavy, but you soon get used to it after a few hours. I think the protection and battery life are worth the sacrifice, not to mention the wow factor.

I was thinking to put a little stub antenna on the back as I miss this on the new phones,

Hi, Yes the case fits the holster as it normally does, and the NFC antenna is still in situ!

I got the idea from my early XDA years on here when the XDA1 had the big battery that attached to the back of the phone with 2 thumb screws to secure it to the phone. and the shark fin antenna! must not forget the signal status LED also! Ohh those were the days

Just wanted to say thanks great idea! My phone dropped out of my sweater pocket and hit the stairs right on the corner inside a bumper case. And to my sadness the scree spider cracked threw. Ordered otterbox defender, new screen, replacment phone, and anker 6200 batt right away. Checked the verizon website and still says clean esn to my surprise. Once its done going to put it up for sale to recuperate my costs. Did this mod with a box cutter power drill with a phillip screw bit and a nail file and it came out pretty good.

They used to sell them at tvc-mall, then switched to case-parts (the same company, although they don't take paypal, so you have to start the order to get order # and email them for a separate paypal transaction). I can't complain about their fake products, although they got on my nerves for a few other reasons where I told them I ain't doing free advertisement for them anymore. I posted a link where I bought the case, they told me to take it down because of copyright reason. I took it down, and ended up with dozens of pm messages of everybody asking me where to go get., and so on... So, at the end of my review you can see a link to another store from Aliexpress website where they sell it for about $15. In general the quality is better than original, imho. But just like with any on-line purchse from CH retailer - it's at your own risk, and I"m not taking any responsibility. I know a lot of others on this forum who bought it from them already. Regarding negative review, I just googled it and some idiot posted YT review that case-parts scammed him for selling fake iPhone 4 batteries for $3. Common, you expect to pay $3 for a real iphone battery?!? But hey, I don't give a sh!t if you buy from them or another company, what do I care. Just doing you a favor posting links and reviews....
