If you guys have watched any blu ray movies before then Astro Byond HD is crap...

for me, the 1080p rip is not even close to the real blu ray 1080p quality but better than Astro Byond HD though.

What do you mean by so troublesome ?
why they changed the bootloader ? I am not really know why. That is why I maintain the old bootloader but flashed only the new firmware.
yes I always reset the counter after I flash any custom kernels.

If you update using OTA or PC ODIN the new bootloader will be installed but if you flash it with Mobile Odin the new bootloder will not get install.

Yes I updated to 4.1.2 by using Mobile Odin Pro.
With the new bootloader you can't reset the counter with Triangle Away as Samsung managed to prevent this. Must wait for Chainfire to find a way to overcome this problem.
What I can suggest to you is to flash back to 4.1.1 (wipe everything clean) then root it by using ExynosABuse then update 4.1.2 by using Mobile Odin Pro.

I never flash any custom roms only perseus kernel as I find the stock rom very stable for me.
MOP does not have the option to flash the bootloader. sboot.bin is the file name for the bootloader if extract from the tar file.

yes.
nothing will happen. if you don't need to send your phone to the service center or does not care much about the warranty then you should not worry. the only reason that I can think of why Samsung changed the bootloader is to prevent us, the users to reset the flash counter.

if you flash any custom roms more than 127 times the chances to go back to 0 is 0%.

It is worth the purchase, but Triangle Away does have a free version. If you are a xda member, you can download it there but the free version does has a limitation though.

I bought it and never regret it.

Just be happy with whatever method that you are comfortable.

I also don't know, this is what Chainfire posted on his Triangle Away's thread at xda.

this has been discussed in the previous thread, please refer to the V14 thread.

the exact same thing happened to me too, quite a few times but so far there are no visible marks.

hahaha...getting bored with the repetitive questions,,,,

hello friend, just around RM8 only lar...RM2k phone can buy but RM8 can not afford ka....

I never had any of crapple hardwares and I never regret that I have never bought them....

we are much the same, Apple IIe...that time I was 15 and became one of the school's computer club. Went for Basic programming competition between schools for Federal Territory. My first computer was ZX Spectrum Sinclair...I got it when I was 14.
