my nexus ones headphone jack is faulty, it doesnt output to the left speaker anymore. ive done everything possible to fix it and nothing has worked permermantly.
unfortunatly ive rooted my device which has voided my warranty. im absolutly positive this had nothing to do with the headphone problem, as its a physical issue with the jack and not software
will they refuse to swap my device because ive rooted?
is it possible to relock the bootloader to factory default yet?
do you need to be the original owner to device swap? i bought mine new off craigslist so it wasnt bought in my name.
is there a water damage sticker in the headphone jack? (i tried cleaning it with a q tip moistened with alcohol to fix it and if there is one i may have tripped it)
i really like this phone and i use it as my ipod now but its so annoying only having audio in one earpeice, and when i plug it into my car the right plays fine but the left makes awful static noises due to the fm transmitter not getting a signal on the left channel.

they probably wont refuse, but if they do, no harm done.

no.

Yep, just give it a try. Be prepared to tell them that rooting the device is likely not the cause of one audio channel to go out - What I mean is that you should be prepared to defend the fact the phone is rooted but your not sending it in because you bricked it but because a hardware related issue needs fixing and that this is in no way related to you rooting the phone.
Good luck.
PS: I highly doubt there is a water mark sticker in the phone jack inlet.
thanks allot guys.
the worst thing that can happen is i send it in and they refuse charging me 28 dollars and shipping charges. on the site it says i call them and they will ship me a new one with a box for the old one and i send the old one back.
ill call htc today and be completely honest with them, hopefully they will be understanding.
let us know what they say
i called in and was honest with them and they immediately said too bad you have to pay 200 dollars to replace the mother board even though its their own [email protected] fault.
rooting it has no control over headphone jack hardware, but the man on the phone said regardless of that as stated in the tos it voids all warranties by rooting it.
even though people have been saying that they still honor hardware warranties after rooting this is not true.
so now ive given up on being honest and im going to find a way to kill my phone along with any rooting evidence without voiding my warranty.
if they didnt trap the consumer into voiding their warranty they would simply have to fix the headphone jack and they could resell the phone as refurbished, now they will have to replace the whole thing. assholes.
if you call in about warranty issues DO NOT give them your serial and imei number unless your sure they are going to replace it.
Call Google first, they may help you somehow. If not, sell it on ebay, people buy Nexus ones with minor faults (or any other electronics) for slightly less, but still better then having crap.

Bwahahaha... HTC didn't TRAP you into rooting. Did they force you to do it? Did they hold a gun to your head? Did they not WARN you in documentation AND on the phone's screen that unlocking the bootloader VOIDS the warranty?
I'm tired of people trying to blame HTC, as if somehow they made you do it. Here's an idea... if you want to keep your warranty... DON'T ROOT. The phone's amazing with the stock ROM anyway. I'm happy not having to update every few days when a Developer releases an incremental update, etc. And if you DO choose to root...man up and take responsibility.
But, clearly it's not software related, it's not related to him rooting his phone. It's the headphone jack, and that's hardware. So, No one can far seen hardware malfunction before hand, unless you have "super natural powers".
Mr. uansari1, do you work for HTC or something? I understand your logic, HTC didn't force him to root it, but I don't think it's humanly possible that rooting caused the headphone jack malfunction. The guy shouldn't have to pay $200 just to fix a headphone jack that costs $3 to fix.
If I put custom wheels on my car and my car stereo breaks, should I have to pay out of pocket to replace the whole thing? I don't think so.

I don't work for HTC. I'm simply a law student who's taken Contracts...
Anyway, I agree with you. Rooting probably doesn't cause the headphone jack to malfunction. But the legal system holds the power of parties to enter into contracts very highly. So... if YOU agree to keep or void the warranty on your own and you're not forced into it, then the law recognizes that as a valid and binding agreement.

Lol... at least make me the Judge Joe Brown! Seriously though... I don't particularly like that you have to void the warranty to unlock the bootloader... but I do understand that since we are given the option to leave it locked to keep our warranty and that the phone "works fine without unlocking the bootloader", any court would laugh at a lawsuit against HTC by one of us regarding this..
I wonder if UK law is slightly different, as over here (using the car euphemism) if I were to modify my engine, and then had issues with my lets say brakes, they would still be under warranty.
it'd only be parts directly affected by my modifications with which warranty would be able to be made invalid (engine pretty much, unless my modifications caused extra power in which case maybe gearbox too)
but I am not a lawyer and I know nuffink!

U.S. law is like that too when it comes to cars. (American law is based on British law, you know ) But the car euphemism is a horrible example. I've had this same argument in another thread as well.
A better euphemism is to just think of the CD player in your car. If you remove it and disassemble it thinking you might be able to change the color of the LEDs inside it, and then it no longer works, will the manufacturer replace it for you? No...

That's not better! By your analogy the OP has tried to change something with the headphone jack and now it doesn't work.
Car warranties are far more complex and detailed anyway so you can't compare them. Sadly, the warranty on a phone is all or nothing and by unlocking the device, you invalidated the entire warranty. True, the headphone jack would have broken just the same without unlocking the device but that's irrelevant as far as HTC's legal commitment to you goes. Some manufacturers will still do warranty work in this kind of situation purely out of the desire to keep good customer relations (Samsung replaced my Omnia when I had done all kinds of hacking and custom rom installs) but if they don't, that's entirely their legal right.
Unfortunately, telling them you had unlocked probably did you no favours. If it was me, I'd have kept quiet unless they apecifically ask
im confident that the Manufacturer stands to protect themselves from warranty abuse by stating they wont cover modified devices. its unfortunate but not surprising at all

No. By my analogy, the OP has "gone into" his phone, thus voiding the warranty. It's just like taking your phone apart and removing those little "VOID" stickers on the screws. You're right... car warranties are far more complex because it's a variety of devices assembled into a vehicle, whereas our phone is a single unit.
HTC was covering the phones even with unlocked bootloaders for a while... I believe for the same reason you suggested. I tried telling people not to rely on that and they could start denying claims anytime. But few people listen...they just ***** afterwards.

i think it is a trap. do you know what type of people will buy a phone off the internet without ever holding it solely based on the technical specifications? the type of people that will root it, and more often than not root it successfully. if i decided hey lets overclock my processor and enable the flashlight at full brightness then stick it under my pillow overnight then yes, its my own damn fault. but if htc is refusing to fix a problem caused by their own inability to design a functional headphone jack that can withstand normal wear and tear, especially after 2 months, because i rooted it which has no control over the headphone jack, then yes, it is a trap.
they never put this lock on their other phones. my rooting this had nothing to do with the headphone jack whatsoever, its their fault they should fix it. i understood the risks and decided to root under the pretense that this was a quality piece of hardware and it wasn't gonna crap out on me unless i decided to play with the battery while flashing the radio or something. if i knew there was a high chance of hardware failure inherit in the device i never would have rooted.
so dont come to me *****ing and whining when anyone who is refused a refund for something that is htc's fault for a stupid reason is correct in blaming the company.
upon closer reading of the tos it voids your warranty to sell the device, technically you can only receive support if you are the original owner.
this is a slime ball way of htc voiding the warranty on a high percentage of their devices for actions that have no effect on the health of the device.
i will take responsibility for something i did wrong, but i wont fall prey to a large companies bull****.
if you dont have something helpful to say, quit trolling on the internet.
sorry, i asked something similar, but htc has a triage fee for when you send in your phone, and if its not covered they charge you money. i want to know to make sure, what would they actually say is not covered by their warranty for te g1. im having a software problem, but im scared they're going to say something like i dropped it, and thats what messed up the phone. they wouldnt do anything like that would they?

As far as I know, improper use of your phone (Dropping it, throwing it etc.), water damage, and things caused by third party firmware (i.e. brick from flashing an spl) are the only things not covered.... and one of them you can play stupid about (Though this is not the best way, and doesn't always work).
o yes, but i mean, they cant possibly know if you dropped it, unless theres like a dent in it right

Technically, I guess not. But really what are you dropping it on that it would damage the functionality without damaging the hardware too?
nothing, i just want to make sure they wont say that there has been damage done to it, when theres absolutley no way you could tell if it was dropped or something since everything looks just like its new
So I realized this the moment after I hit the trackball to select my .zip. To make things simple: I had cyanogen 5.0.6 and I accidentally flashed 2.2 for custom bootloaders. My phone won't even turn on...AT ALL. Am I ****ed?
Can you not get in the recovery image by holding down trackball and power button?
No. I don't know what to do. I flashed the Stock image earlier and it took awhile for my phone to turn on, but it did start up after a few minutes. Also it had a Radio that it flashed. Could it have been for the Tmobile model? I am on the AT&T version. Nothing will turn on.
did you try removing the battery ?
I did. I called support and they want me to send it in. Hopefully I will be one of the lucky people that HTC takes even if there is some broken rules.

Good luck. They are currently denying my warranty - even though my last Nexus went in TWICE, and they even DOA replaced it with body damage and an unlocked bootloader. Both times they just reverted the software back to locked, no questions asked. This time, after sending in the refurbed phone they gave me last month due to a faulty headphone jack, they say my "illegal software" voids my warranty - even though software can't break a headphone jack.

That could also be their way of saying we have fixed two phones of yours with unlocked (voided) warranties, we aren't doing it a third time... aka, three strikes and you are out. To be honest, I would be singing the praises of a company that warrantied a phone twice, even though I knowingly voided my warranty and agreed to a contract saying as much during the process.
OP, good luck! As this person's history shows, they are willing to go above and beyond with in reason. If I were you, before sending it in, I would try tossing it on the charger to make sure the battery isn't dead... flashing uses up a lot of juice, and messes with battery stats to an extent that can cause the phone to think a low battery is actually a dead battery, thus it doesn't power on since it doesn't want to die mid boot, which is bad.
Yeah, plug it in and see if you get the charging led, if you do let it charge for a while. Then try booting to recovery. If you cant unplug it and pull the battery. Plug it back in and hold down the power button for 15 seconds, put the battery in while still holding the power button for another 15 seconds or so. You got nothing to lose if it is bricked so give it a go. Check back if it lights off. Just a hint but I only keep whatever I'm going to flash on the root of the sd with the rest of the zips in a file. Keeps you from being where you are now.
mind keepping the battery out for a little while. i got the same problem yesterday and this solved it : i kept the battery pulled for about 1 minute before i put it back in. then the phone powered on no problems.

What type of bad "luck" does somebody have to need a warranty replacement three times for a phone that's less than 4 months old?

I may be stupid, but that doesn't sound like you were doing anything wrong. I think that is how many people upgraded to FroYo.
What did you do when you thought you had done the wrong thing? You say you realized the moment you hit the trackball. Did you then try to stop it by pulling the battery? If so then you may have pulled it while the radio was flashing, which would brick it for sure.
Maybe they say it's illegal because Froyo is not released yet and they saw part of it installed on your N1.
This sucks big time, I wish you best of luck and I hope they end up fixing it for you.
what happens when you hold volume down and hit power...does the bootloader come up?
I flashed 2.2 over enomther's 1.9.2 on my att frequency n1 and it is working fine, I did the radio update too and it works fine.

Why would I sing the praises of a company that picks and chooses when it will void a warranty and when it will honor it? Furthermore, under the Manusson-Moss Warranty act of 1975, this behavior is illegal; warrantors of consumer goods cannot void a warranty due to modifications made by the consumer unless they can directly attribute the failure to the modification made. Which they have not done in my case.
Additionally, the first time it went in, was for dust under the screen - something an unlocked bootloader most definitely did not cause. The second time it went in was because they didn't fix it the first time - both times they relocked the phone. Also, the second time the phone went in, they DOA replaced it even though it had physical damage that I had previously been willing to pay for. And now, after they send me a damaged unit, they want to void my hardware warranty because the bootloader is unlocked? That just stinks of a money making scheme. I just called them, and they tell me that they cannot flash the motherboard due to the "illegal software", yet in the email they sent me it's all due to the warranty being void due to "illegal software". They're harping on a non-issue just to make money.
You can sing your praises to scheissty companies all you want - I'll stick to companies that are honest and up front in their dealings - or at least more so than HTFingC.

All of those are software related customization. This problem I am having is strictly hardware. The AMOLED screen panel is internally damage somehow that cause it to messed up like that.
Flashing, rooting, tripping knox or whatever won't cause this. A lot of people get this wrong and blame on modifying the ROM as part of the cause but one must understand the difference between the 2 before making judgment.

Yeah, I know that.
I meant that messing with the software (flashing, rooting, tripping knox) voids the warranty, and if a hardware problems occurs (irrelevant to your flashing activities), such as in your case, you 'll be left without a warranty (although you didn't cause it)

in my experience from years past, nobody that takes these returns really cares about root or custom ROMS when there is a hardware problem. The customer is usually shipped a refurbished model immediately while the damaged unit goes back for repair. By the time it gets to someone whos smart enough or loyal enough to care about root, the customer already has their refurb. when i sent in my droid x2 for repair it would ALWAYS boot to recovery options on first boot, then you would have to tell it to boot normally and it would. i was fine with it but forgot about that when i went to get it repaired....
they asked me "whats that green stuff on the screen?"
me: oh nothing.... *presses -boot normally- button*
"does it do that every time?!"
me: yeah but i dont care
"wow that must be annoying!".
then they shipped it off for repair and i got my refurb.
i dont think manufacturers or service providers care as much about root as many people think. they do a lot to prevent it sometimes but I have never had an issue on getting warranty services on a rooted device.
keeping in mind that none of those warranty services were because of software problems... every phone had something wrong with it physically.
Agreed, most phone warranties are like cars. It under warranty unless the "mod" could have possibly caused the problem.
Yesterday i accidentally dropped my phone due to which a scratch has come in one corner of phone as you can see in picture.But it is working very fine.
i want to know that will i get warranty now??I mean if in future, my phone bricks due some software related practical or rooting then my phone will get warranty or not.
it depends... Most likely, u will get warranty unless something bad happened internally.
