Since Adam is the name behind unlocking the bootloader, he started calling it jailbreak due to the fact that there are now legal issues with "unlocking." Yes we all know the legal issue with unlocking is about unlocking to use on a different carrier. To make it easier for people to understand that he is not involved in unlocking carriers, we now jailbreak.

Adam was calling it that well before it became illegal to unlock to another carrier.

But it is not the same. Jailbreak is to make a device be able to accept sideloading applications. Android doesn't need to do this. So there is no jailbreak for Android.
Unlocking, though now illegal, is not jailbreaking (making a device to accept sideloading apps).
Calling unlocking "jailbreak" is just adding the confusion with less techy people.

If you dont like it, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude about it.

Do we really need a thread on this in the Verizon Note 2 Section?

Talking about it is educating people about it. Educating people is what we can do to change it. That is what I am doing.
What are you doing?
Agree 100%.
So annoying. There are lots of questions on Android forums now about jailbreaking Android. But there is no jailbreak in Android, because we have the sideloading settings within our settings menu (Settings > Security > Device administration > Unknown sources).
Calling unlocking a device with the name of "jailbreak" is just adding the confusion with the less techy people.
What really they are asking is "how to root my Android device".
But they need to understand is what root really is. And what it is to have administration permissions in any Unix/Linux, including Android. Only then they will stop calling root with the name "jailbreak".

Yes.
This is educating people to use the correct terminology. When they use correct terminology then they will get better responses to their questions.

This is incorrect, unlocking the bootloader is not illegal, unlocking for other carriers is but that's not what this thread is about.

I don't see why it matters what you call it. Break it down and the words works.
Jail break. To remove restrictions and become free. Isn't that what we did? Removed a restricted boot loader to allow custom kernels and recovery which allows custom Roms.
Stop trying to be politically correct on this. If you're feelings are hurt over a simple word then your life must be depressing.

That was in replying to an earlier post.
The only logical definition in Android to call "jailbreak" is: To unlock device, without permission of current carrier, to be used on another carrier. After all it is illegal. Which you can go to jail for it.
My point is meshing terms like this only causes confusion with both non-techy people and with users of other carriers that don't deal with locked bootloader. Terminology has to be able to be understood across the entire community, not just for users of one carrier.
How many terminology was used within this thread to discribe "jailbreak"? Can you see how that can cause confusion? I am just saying.

So if I show people my new note 2, and call it an iPhone, it is alright then? I mean they are both touch screen hand held PCs. Not that I give a ****, but when I first came to xda, people really cared about it. Maybe this is where the op is coming from.
