I have a name, just like you.

As long as Android 14 remains in beta, I doubt the bootloader included with it incorporates the anti rollback. Once it's officially released I would imagine the bootloader will incorporate the same anti rollback as the August 2022 update.

If you want to be safe, just sideload the May update twice. No word yet on when the June update is coming.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mmddzzjj:
Thank you I think I understand what you mean Thank you very much!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I'm of the opinion (purely speculative, of course) that when A14 stable is released it won't include the ARB in the bootloader and that you'll be able to downgrade to A13 if desired (as long as they don't find a vulnerability in the A13 bootloader). The ARB in the A13 bootloader with the Pixel 6 series was a bit of an anomaly as they found a vulnerability in the A12 bootloader so they didn't want people downgrading to A12 after updating to A13. In most past instances when upgrading the OS to a new version you can go back to an earlier OS version.

But I guess we'll see...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
I suppose I should clarify.

Every bootloader version after the August 2022 update includes the ARB protection - but it only prevents flashing a bootloader version prior to August 2022. It doesn't prevent flashing any bootloader after that release, AFAIK. So, if you're currently on the June update, you should be able to flash any older version back to Aug '22.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Ah, gotcha. Thought you meant not being able to roll back from A14 to A13 👍
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
I mean, feel free to test this theory by flashing the bootloader alone, but anyone who's currently on Android 13 should be able to flash any bootloader version back to August 2022.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Right. I thought you were saying that they were going to implement an ARB in the A14 bootloader so you couldn't go back to A13. But you clarified that you were not talking about that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
Yeah, nope. This is where things get lost in simplicity.

The bootloader doesn't actually set anti-rollback protection in of itself; the update does. When Android 13 successfully boots, it blows ARB by incrementing a write-once counter in the hardware. It only does this once. So let's say the write once counter is a hex value: 0x0. The ARB in the update "blows" it to 0x1. There's a bit of code in the bootloader itself that corresponds; basically "if ARB ="value", OK to boot". So let's say all bootloader versions prior to August 2022 are set to 0x0; if they see 0x1, they will fail to boot. Meanwhile, the bootloader versions after August 2022 are set to 0x1, so they'll boot on both 0x0 and 0x1.

If they implemented ARB in the Android 14 update, the new bootloader would be set to 0x2, and upon successfull boot the ARB counter would increment to 0x2. The new bootloader should boot on 0x0, 0x1, and 0x2, but the "old" 0x0 and 0x1 bootloaders won't.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yes, I understand all this. Things weren't lost to me in my simplicity. Thought you would understand what I was talking about and that you knew I knew this since we've had many discussions about this previously.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
But how do I know that you know that I know that you know what I'm talking about ?!!!?!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Oh my God, lol. We cleared this up already. You clarified your statement that it wasn't not being able to roll back from A14 to A13 you were talking about. I said ok, gotcha. It should have ended there.

As for you knowing what I know, I thought you might have an idea since we've had previous discussions about this when A13 first came out about this, as I stated above. I guess not. Anyway, no need to continue as I'm letting you know now that I understand all this and you already clarified your original statement.

My name is Karl, the owner, and CEO of ArmadilloTek Inc.

I am on a mission to make the phones indestructible.

I am blessed to have lots of support from XDA.

This year, I invested heavily in our new designs for foldable devices. The Fold 4 cases will be launched on Amazon marketplaces at the end of Sep 2022!

I am looking for 200 people to test the new design and provide feedback.

View attachment 5690657

About the case:

1. Combination of TPU and Polycarbonate for dual protection from drops and scratches

2. Complete all-around protection on cameras and front screen with raised edges.

3. [Innovative Hinge Protection] First of its kind with Semi-auto sliding tech.

4. All-new foam technology for an extra layer of shock resistance

5. Built-in Kickstand

6. Come with a tempered glass screen protector

7. Optional Spen-holder integrated with the hinge cover

All in one, simply the best-rugged case with innovative hinge protection.

Our hinge cover connects both the front cover and back, so the protection is better than most of

our competitors!

View attachment 5690655

Requirement:

1st: At least a member of XDA for 2 years

2nd: At least 20 posts

3rd: You need to provide feedback ( Lots of people just grab the case, but barely want to help us

improve the design)

4th: You should be a good person. (why? I am working harder to make my business survive,

and have no time for games and scams. Used to have some negative experiences with some super

smart but evil people before)

5th. You would love to support a Texas small business by spreading the word of mouth.

This program is open to anyone in North America, the EU, and the UK.

I'm interested. But I stay in India and many Indians look for innovative cases but we always only have limited brands like spigen.

I'm in! I've used a few of your cases for the s10 and s21 ultra. Lets see what you got for the Fold 4. The case looks sick!!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] jinshanghaiaraol:
Hi, thank you for the reply.

My cases are thicc, so I am not sure if it fits you.

About India market, I am still pretty small, and I am short of hands to let people know how good we are.

We will see, tho
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] jinshanghaiaraol:
Howdy there, if you are in the group, you might see me and my son, lol.

I am so proud of making the best rugged cases. Yes, I am, just because I suck at marketing, so nobody knows.

I post daily in the group, sometime I offer free perks, let;s party man!

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] jinshanghaiaraol:
I am not sure, sir. We do not have any business in Thailand, but I will let you know
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] jinshanghaiaraol:
Thank you, mate!

I am a little bit late this year, as my designer and I had back and forwards too many times to find the balance of design and practice.

The case is really rugged, and the way the hinge moves and covers are different than lots of our competitors.

To be honest with you, I have been 3D printing them since May, I also bought every single case from our competitors to find the weak points.

Except for the super rugged protection, and I am so proud that when you unfold the fold 4, our case will not interfere with the front screen.

To be honest, I am making the best-rugged cases, but I suck at marketing, nobody knows us.

You guys may know, Spigen, Otterbox, Tech21, my cases are better.

Why?

I am fxxxing loving them, all of my products have to pass 3 rounds of quality checks.

Anyhow, I am still nobody, and just focus on making the products better on both protection and service.

Also, thank everyone and XDA for giving us an opportunity!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] eswar539:
Even before spigen launch in India most of us used to import them from eBay.com or amazon.com. if possible try to provide international shipping like other companies. If I'm eligible then I will gladly pay for the shipping via USPS international economy. Anyway I hope your efforts pay off. Gl
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] SurferNerd6987:
Signed up and filled the form. I've been around XDA since August 2007, and pretty active in the forums for the models I've owned. I've done beta testing programs for Samsung, Motorola, Microsoft, and things for my EV. I'm happy to provide real world feedback. I work in an industrial environment, IT guy at a 40acre manufacturing plant. Having a rock solid case is important to me on weekdays, but I need it to be able to switch easily out of on the weekends for my thin case.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] abysstheking:
Applied earlier today. Also sent a request to join the FB group. I am a big sucker for big, rugged cases and I'm kinda disappointed to see only few options for Fold 4 which aren't generic Chinese cases with a different logo slapped on. It's even worse here in Canada where most of the cases are launched several months after they go in sale in the States.

I'll be honest I've not heard of your brand before but it's great to see the good work.

Cheers!

It is Karl from Caseborne by ArmadilloTek Inc.

I'm a guy from Texas with a passion for creating the best-rugged phone case.

This is not the average case you thought, it is one of the best-rugged cases that balanced the protection, stylish perfectly

View attachment 5690663

Despite creating one of the best-rugged cases out there, not many people know about us. It takes a lot of money and marketing skills to break through in this competitive market.

There are many brands that brag about how durable their cases are, but neither of them shows you anything.

I don't have money or marketing skills, all I can do is smash my phone in my cases. ( you can search caseborne on tiktok)

Hopefully, people will give us their business.

About the case:

1. Combination of TPU and Polycarbonate for dual protection from drops and scratches

2. Complete all-around protection on cameras and front screen with raised edges.

3. [Innovative Hinge Protection] First of its kind with Semi-auto sliding tech.

4. All-new foam technology for an extra layer of shock resistance

All in one, simply the best-rugged case with innovative hinge protection.

Does this case have a permanent or extendable connection between the foldable Flip 4?

If permanent, how did you deal with the decline in TPO elasticity over time?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] rogerandgina06:
I'm game to get one.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] jinshanghaiaraol:
Hi there, I don't understand the question.

We added the hinge design and locked it into both the front and back cover.

That way, it should be the best design as a rugged case
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] jinshanghaiaraol:
Awesome, thank you, mate!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] ze7zez:
How did you solve the problem of the difference in the opening radius of the Fold 4 and case hinges and the stresses between both hinges, so that the hinges of the phone are not stressed?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] liteweight13:
Love the look of this case. Love the good coverage. These phones are very fragile so good protection is a must
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] dopepope:
Attractive design, definitely down to try one out and offer feedback. Slightly worried it'll be too thick for pocketability, but hoping I'm wrong, or that it's so nice I figure out another way to carry it.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about calling the semi-automatic hinge protection a new feature. That is something we had back on the 3 and fundamentally prevents any possibility of laying the phone flat. It looks great in pictures, but limits functionality in practical application.

Hi XXX,

This is Karl, Sorry for the late message.

I just finished a video meeting with my supplier in China.

I am supposed to have a few patches of Flip4 and Fold 4 cases ready in the U.S.A.

The products will be in Amazon Warehouse, so we need to get them from Amazon.

But It won't cost you even a dime. I promised to get you covered!

If you are okay with that, please kindly let me know

And, I have to say, I am making the best rugged cases ever for the foldable devices

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] Britch3s:
I believe I'm late, but id still love to test. it would seem "out of stock"

is what I'm seeing on your website however.

So im not sure if one can be obtained free, or purchased either.

I am currently using a "OTTERBOX" case on my Z

flip 4. HORRIBLE BTW. by far not worth the price. The

hinge is TERRIBLE as it is. slightly tugging down with the phone while its

open seems as if I'm pulling the two parts apart at the hinge.

As if the hinge (on the case) itself is made to come

open, although that's not a feature of the case.

I do like the feel of the otter box case however.

As its not super slick but it is extremely bulky. two times the phones

normal size which is hard to pack when folded.

So, im for sure in the market for a worthy case. i care not about

looks but protection for my expensive phone to which i use for work, life, etc.

So if any are still available please update the site/here/pm

your preference. email would be best. i used the same

email on site that i use here. Ryan is the name however.

(to be crystal clear to everyone, the case i talk badly about it

the otterbox case for the z flip 4)
