Me too, though the screen did get a small crack once. If there was a 1% chance of file system corruption each time I dropped my phone, it would have happened to me by now, I think. And usually when I drop my phone, the battery comes out. It used to happen only half the time, but I think the cover got loosened as a result of all the times I dropped it, so now the battery falls out pretty much every time.

It's 2016, if you abruptly shut down a computer in the middle of a filesystem write the chances of ending up with a corrupted filesystem are of around a 0 %, so those are the chances of getting a brick when you drop your mobile.

  If you mount with nobarrier I'd say that the chances are somewhat higher than 0%

    Not with any filesystem with a proper journaling system. Filesystem corruption is almost impossible.

      Barriers are what force the journal to be written consistently, and IIRC they were enabled by default after 2.6.31 because of corruption with ext4.

you could have corruption and not know. i'm pretty sure on the mac hfs+ corrupts files all the time (why? i've run into it multiple times). but it's not necessarily something you'll immediately notice.

  That's upsetting. I'll try not to drop my phone while an update is in progress in that case.
