What is the meening? - Folio 100 General

I like understand what I'm doing and therefore I kinldly ask some explanations. Some of them might me obvious to most of you but they are not to me.
For example, the meaning of the recovery.img is clear to me but the boot.img it is not.
What is the use of boot.img? If I corrupt it, can I anyhow enter fastboot?
What is the sequence for boot and which part is in rom and therefore not damageble ?
too many questions? .... sorry but ... I like to understand....

[Q] Branded, straight to Villain? + more questions.

Hi, I would have posted this as a reply in the debranding thread but I was not allowed to since I have less than 10 posts. Someone did post a similar question there but it was not answered.
I am guessing that I do not need to debrand my rom if I am planning to install Villain 3.0, do I? All the boot animations, and whatever has been branded will be gone right? What about the CSC number? That is used to see what region I am in, for market purposes or something? How do I make that the default UK one?
I would first install CWM, then flash Villain? Do I need to root it in the process? The rom I am installing will be rooted right, so, I don't actually have to do anything?
What are the codes like umm.. XWKDD?
There seem to be so many codes like that, I don't see what they are, google didn't really explain anything... does each country have a different code?
By installing a custom rom, would that code be changed?
And, I tried to look for this as well, there aren't any other screen off animations, like the CRT one are there? I will be very happy to have the CRT one, but, I'm just curious.
Thank you very much!
-edit. i don't see why this thread was tagged as 'epic fail', and 'refusal to search', i don't see how i failed something or won something, what is the main goal to fail/win? if the objective was me finding answers, then i would not say i failed, especially when i sought out help from the forum, thus would it not be you who failed me (an not really, as you guys have no duty to answer questions) and how is anything 'epic' about this? what is the difference between tagging this thread as 'fail', and tagging it as 'epic fail'? would 'fail' simply mean that i made a spelling mistake or something? honestly you guys... aha
and about the searching, i did search, i did not ever say that i refused to search, thus you cannot say i did refuse to search, as how do you know what i did or did not do? i did search just obviously i could not find specific answers, if you have something wrong with telling me the answer when you know it, then you could give me a clue or something? if you know where in a thread i will find an answer then sure, but it is difficult when no search results seem useful, and no offence but i do not want to read 400 pages of posts about something. but yeah, ok, thanks.
i am happy that i got one reply at least.
Damn... so many questions ... xeu csc is for uk... most roms comes with multicsc so you can choose (uk is default)
If you install CWM you wil gain root access
You have to root if you wanna use Villain
The letters arent that important... just choose the newest rom
Ok and so, there are different ways of rooting right?
So, if I install CWM via Odin, and then Villain, I am set to go?
I read that some kernels come with CWM, like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
So it is possible to have two clockworkmod recoveries at the same time? Would this be bad?
I thought the kernel and the recovery were separate. Maybe I am misunderstanding something.
Due to the fact that I will use Villain, I would be on ninphetamine or something, it seems this has CWM in it, so, I am worried about having CWM on my system twice.
Can anyone clear this up?

[Q] recovery for neo L

Guys , i flashd the recovery wich was posted in the thread,
but it does not work for me
m not able to boot into recovery w/o using any tool,
so if i am getting bootloop i hav to reflash the firmware..
plz help with some solution..
Ok, and now we should get our crystal ball and look on what thread and on what tool you think, right?
Good that you also posted in that thread, so it's easy to find it.
Always ask in original thread (if possible), and if you still need to create new thread, make sure to say what you used and from where.
Moved thread. Questions belong in the Q&A thread.
OP, You will always get quicker and better help if you:
1) Post in the correct section.
2) Give as many details as you can. What thread were you using? What tools? What firmware is your phone? Details like these can help people assist you more accurately.
Thanks.

Flashing HOX+ for dummies

HOX+ is my first android phone after few iOS devices and im kinda lost in all these instructions which should be done before actual flash. Dunno how to unlock device, make custom recovery nor flash boot.img. Im looking for some basic guide with simple instructions do this do that. Think im not only one here in this situation, so please if there is someone willing to help, could you make some basic guide...
there's a thread which uses an app (ALL in ONE app)
that teaches you how to
unlock the bootloader
installer recovery
give your phone root
for the actual rom, go to the ROM's thread for specific instructions.

Can you modify a stock rom and flash it to a rooted phone?

Hello XDA,
I wanted to ask this question more specifically since I feel my last questions was too specific and maybe difficult?
Can I edit a stock rom? Like editing the recovery.img and the system.img, then flashing the phone with smart phone flash tools?(SP flash tools)
Can I do this on a rooted phone? Or does the stock rom have to be not edited in any way? Is there no way to pull certain apps from the apps folder?
Thanks
bump,
I was told to make a thread in this forum yet no one has even replied to any of my threads.
At this point, I may have to make a sense and post in every forum I can find until I a moderator comes to clean up my mess. I don't want to have to do that but I have nothing to lose and no one has replied back to anything I have posted on here.
If I don't see a reply on this thread or the other thread I made about this. I will make a thread in every forum.
Waited around for awhile but now its time be obnoxious. I will bump my other thread as well and just start hi-jacking other threads until mods ban me or someone answers me for once.
