I was planning on installing R3AA..
and there was this cool Touch X 9.0 rom to..
can they be installed together on same device?
& will installing these roms uhm dunno how to say.. lose my waranty?
I think Touch 9.0 includes the stuff from R3AA, not really sure.
However, they can't be installed on the same device.
They are ROMs and will remove everything else on that device when flashing.
Flashing with a custom ROM (like touch 9) will void your warranty.
This is because you use Hard SPL. Just install the stock SPL if you want to get your warranty "back".
There's alot more info in the ROMs section.
ah so there is a way to get warranty back if I go with the touch 9.0 thingy
BUT, the R3AA Dutch one i'm going to install won't void my waranty?
cuz at installation it says something about unlock HTC '
That is correct. You can get the warranty "back", if you put the stock-SPL back.
Since the R3AA Dutch is an official ROM from SE, you won't void it.
Making this simple: use hard-SPL = void warranty. use stock-SPL = warranty OK.

hi... i`m new here... i have a question...
if i flash or unlock to be available to all networks an Orange SPV M700 i`ll lost my warranty from it?
I'm not a lawyer or anything but I'm pretty sure that you void your warranty flashing your device, provided that you're not a certified support representative. Also you risk turning your device into an expensive brick.
My 2 cents....

While it's important for anyone to realise that not correctly flashing a phone can brick it and flashing with a bad ROM can do the same I'm sure many agree with me that there is no point scaremongering, either.
I have surely invalidated my warranty by flashing my phone and SIM unlocking it. Currently I flash a new ROM every week or so, to test and report problems with WM6 ROMS to encourage and help development.
Must have flashed my Trinity 30 times.
It is far from an expensive brick...still
If you're curious enough, you'll just hope that go ahead and flash. If you're going to go down the SIM unlock - I would recommend using this first: http://server2.dimonvideo.ru/uploads/public/users/lvsw/Trinity/HardSPL/Hard-SPL.zip
this is "Hard-SPL" and will enable you to use hardward buttons to go into bootloader and reload a ROM even if an upgrade fails - thereby rendering your phone virtually "unbrickable".
Great advice. But I don't think he was trying to scare anyone, just warn them. Friendly warnings are ALWAYS helpful.
Also, an important item to note, another benefit of using HardSPL is you can get your phone back to "spec" if you need to send it in for warranty repair. So warranty woes are all but gone.

ok..thanks for advices
but if i go to unlock my sim to a certified support ? i`ll lost my warranty ?
If you just want a SIM unlock, and are willing to pay for that, it won't invalidate the warranty. The best tool for that is IMEICheck which costs £20 and includes full CID unlocking for when you want to update the ROM to a non-OEM version.
Flashing with a new Radio or OS ROM will invalidate. Some of the 'free' unlock tools work by flashing the radio ROM, thereby invalidating the warranty in the process.
ok tnx guyz i understand tnx again for help
Hey.
Do I lose guaranty of the mobile if I install UI´s like this or is it like a theme on a normal mobile?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468662
Thanks
Just installing software (which a Theme or UI is) will not void your warranty.
Flashing an unofficial Rom (i.e. Cooked Rom or Rom from another carrier) will viod your warranty. Also Flashing unofficial Splash Screens, Radio Roms and HardSPL will void your warranty.
Of course you can always flash the device back to original state in the event of a warranty exchange situation
So if I only install exe´s I can´t do something wrong????
thanks for reply
That is correct.
If for some reason I have to send my phone back to tmo for replacement can I just hard reset my phone and send it back with no problems. Still got the stock ROM. How does warranty tie into the insurance?
I have several cabs installed onto my phone including bsb tweaks and cookies something.
T-Mobile USA
Umm.. of course not. If cabs voided your warranty then that would mean that any software you installed to your phone would void the warranty which is silly. That being said changing the stock ROM might cause an issue so putting the stock ROM back would probably be wise if sending it back to t-mobile for some reason.
even a cooked rom shouldnt be an issue. Its HSPL that voids warranties.
According to the warranty terms, installing cabs (programs) does not void the warranty, but flashing a non stock ROM does.
Now, with that said if your phone is bricked and will not boot T-mobile would probably replace it under warranty. I can not guarantee it but I know the with bricked android devices i have seen sent in they have not gotten returned or charged the out of warranty fee, even after being rooted.

even HSPL will not void your warranty if your smart, all you have to do is just remove it and flash back to the stock ROM and your good to go for replacements, warranty etc etc. I had to do that a few devices ago when I needed a replacement.
Hi all,
i'm pretty much new to this community but i been following it for a while, cause i wanted to know as much as i could before buying a HD2.
so now i bought two HD2 in HongKong, since i am from austria i flashed both to ger roms.
i just used one to figuera all functions out n give it then to my wife. No i got my hands more on the second one, since i gave the first away, and there a some diffrences.
After a while searching in the forum there is a Rev. A and B. well the first is B the sec is A.
the first is: HT04J (as far as i got it right from the forum it means. 2010.04.11 rev. B)
second : HT9CP(2009.12.15)Rev. A
the only diffrence i noticed first is the battery, it just got a diffrent case. the keys are on both lil slapy, especially the volume ones.
the biggest diffrence is the vibration motor. on the Rev. B is it while typing realy smooth n nice.
on the Rev. B model it got a..i dunno kliring sound. well it just dosn't soudn right.
my questions now are, can i send the rev. a model for repair in n hope i got a rev. b back and if thats the case, then i guess i need to restore an original rom, radio, sspl?
could somebody help me there, what are the steps to doing it, if possible?
the model is a t8585 (CHT) what will happen if i send it in with the cooked rom?
best regards!
i recently sent mine in with a cooked rom and they never said anythin but they do re install oe's latest rom to rectify any software issues. however if you broke your charging port like me they wont do anything but
ALWAYS restore stock ROM before sending the phone for repair. If they find HSPL, in most cases they will charge you for repair for using "illegal software".
thats my problem, what are the steps to doing it?
or better, "what" rom is the stock rom for my phone, i found the WWE roms but none for CHT.
and then how i do it? will it be like
1st flash stocking rom ( if there is any for my phone)
2nd restore original radio
at last remove hspl?
btw, how do i remove hspl? just with the same software i did hspl? just install for example i had 1.44 on n now 1.66 hspl. and now i check 1.44 spl ?
thx so far
1st and only step is to READ THE FLASHING GUIDE, under the "To Remove HardSPL from your Device or Flash back a Stock Rom and Stock SPL for Warranty Purposes"...
SFR (French service provider) never complained when I accidentally sent mine back with HSPL still installed and from what I've read, they never do, so it probably depends on who you have to send it back to but considering the small amount of time and effort required you'd probably better go back to your stock ROM and SPL just to be on the safe side.
thx
i read that thread but never saw the flash back lines so thx
but how do i know what leo version i got?
Hello all,
My touch hd's screen isn't working properly, therefore I contacted HTC itself and they told me to book for a repair; where they would repair the device for free, only if doesn't have water damage, hardware damage and rooted software.
I'm worried I won't be eligible for this free repair, as I've used ROMs from this site.
So, Is there a way I can factory RESET the ROM to 6.0 or 6.5 (Official Update is acceptable according to HTC but NOT rooted)?
And, If I manage to put the official/un-rooted update, can HTC find out that I've used cooked ROMs on the device ?
you can find the latest 6.1 rom at HTC page (www.htc.com) under support.

I tried that, but when I booted the phone; colour on the screen wasn't right. Too much contrast i think :S

Is the colour issue resolved by pressing power on/off button?
If so, your issue is your SPL doesn't match your rom.
If you restored your stock spl, you will need to flash a stock rom with matching spl
What is your current SPL?
