Somebody should make a .zip that makes the phone show S-ON even while it's still rooted. That way if you go to a sprint dealer they can't verify that it is rooted if that is the way they check...
lol
just use the stock ruu and you should be good to go
Well I'm pretty sure if your on a custom rom u would have more work to do because of certain files but I think even if u covered ur tracks they prob have some soft when they hook up your they can trace everything you've done on it unless they had a reason to it would be invasion of privacy but anyways.

I honestly don't think that would try installing apps that require root access. I could see them booting the phone into bootloader though to check if it has either s-off or s-on...
But I agree that they may have software that they run the phone by. But again, software is unnecessary when they can just go to the bootloader.
Does sprint even check if its rooted??? Do they even know what it is???. I exchanged my evo shift and didn't even think about unrooting it and they still took it. Though I'm sure they didn't check

Be thankful your rooted HTC EVO Shift 4G didn't make it into the Sprint retail store where I work because if your device had ended up in my hands, your account would be red flagged with the fact your HTC EVO Shift 4G had been rooted and all service and repair work would have to be conducted through HTC as our M&Ps pertaining to rooted smartphones regardless of what OS platform is installed states the warranty of such device would be rejected through the S&R channel and would need to have the customer referred to the smartphone's manufacturer for all service and repair. I have already sent an e mail to all the S&R technicians within my market on how to check Android OS devices for whether or not rooting had been performed. From my understanding, once the S-On is triggered to S-Of, S-On is not possible to be restored even if RUU is done.
Yeah that sucks? Lol

I just got a new replacement phone today from UPS. Got it this morning and still waiting for the update.
My first one update within hours of me turning it on.
I'll let ya know if I don't have it by tomorrow.
Amazing how quick my wife and I all if a sudden get the update when I tell them I am gonna return the phones and cancel the agreement! But I know why the update didn't come when it was suppose to. The imei was not correct in the system. The last rep got tech on the phone and said check the imei and sure enough it was not changed.

You can unroot by following the method in qbking77's video but remember it will not change your modem. If you have the EC05 modem you are good. If you have a leaked GB modem and wish to go to Sprint hope for a lazy tech that won't check your baseband.

Really, you can speak for all of sprint people?
I had to go through Asurion and pay $100 because they wouldn't work with my rooted phone when it had a physical defect un-related to any software issue.
I'll be more than happy to work with you to get my $100 back, other than that don't tell people it's ok.
What was the issue you might ask? My phone stopped communicating with any computer, same as OP. They blamed it on me flashing/rooting and therefore wouldn't work with it.

You must mean after Sprint makes them pay the $100 deductible. We were talking about warranty repairs which of course are considered void on a rooted phone.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
It worked, thanks for the video, getting a new phone in a few days.
I've said this several times, so please take it to heart.
As service and repair technicians, our M&P (methods and procedures) states that rooted and modified phones DO NOT void any sort of warranty. This was just recently changed several months ago. It wast publicly announced for obvious reasons. Manufacturer warranty, I can't speak for that. But if you pay for TEP, being rooted DOES NOT void your TEP extended warranty.
Any sprint rep or tech who tells you otherwise and refers you to asurion is WRONG or MISINFORMED or LAZY. Please tell them and their manager to refer to their phone triage M&P.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Actually, a point of clarification, our M&P never explicitly states anything regarding warranty, rather they hide that fact in verbage.
It states how to troubleshoot and repair a rooted device, and what "tier" it falls into (a quick fix/a free fix if you have TEP or 35 if you dont/a fix that needs claimed with asurion if you have TEP or screwed if you don't). Rooted devices (so long as there's no liquidd damage or accidental damage) fall into tier 2, which means a free fix at the S&R location if you have TEP or $35 if you don't.
Sooo...put 2 and 2 together..this means (implicitly) that root is does not void the terms of your extended warranty through TEP.

No problem
Well it's to keep their exchange rate down, I imagine. That bit of info doesn't come without forewarning, however. Sprint still strongly discourages it.
For instance, latest rumor I heard here is that if you own a 3D and go through HTC's official unlock method, your ESN is flagged in the system for things regarding free tethering and the like. So there is still risk assumed by rooting.

2. Use the phone for two calls
3. Brick your phone on purpose by erasing the bootloader
4. send it in for TEP and request a Nexus S

Just got shot down. Said I had I power button issue and ****ty service. They said I needed to have my epic replaced 3 times before I wo9uld qualify for a nexus. I'm pretty slick. I've gotten replacements for nothing before, and I didn't mention the nexus until she did. Instead, she made me a service ticket and told me to take it to a corperate service center, since I told her I had been told to call the hotline by a 3rd party store.
I guess ill try again another day.

I've recently notice dust under my screen and at first I just ignored it but it has gotten worst over time. Now I've had this phone since July (2011) that makes it under a year so I can still have a warranty exchange right? Now would they replace it with a mytouch 4g or would they offer me other types of phones like a mytouch 4g slide? My other question is if they offer me a different types of phones which ones should I not fall for and which ones should I think about I really like the mytouch 4g cause of development so I hope they just replace it and is it better to call or go straight to the store what would be faster? Thanks!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
I'm not sure that dust under the screen would warrant for a warranty exchange. Anyways, warranty exchanges are for same phone only. I've tried asking for a different phone when I had a Blackberry since I had so many problems. I think I had a good 4 or 5 exchanges in the first year I had it.
nope, actually, a lot of times they offer you a different phone, saying that their MT4G's are "out of stock".
this is just my opinion but,
MT4G Slide: good
LG G2X: eh good enough, your choice if you want a duo core, then choose that
Samsung Sidekick: DEF no way
Samsung Galaxy S: NO WAY, MT4G OWNS THE GALAXY S
HTC Sensation: if you're lucky, then of course, TAKE IT!
hope this helps... those are the phones i've heard of before being a replacement for the MT4G.

Yes, warranty exchange is free, BUT you have to pay for the shipping and handling. If I remember correctly, it's $9.99 for 5-7 business days -or- $19.99 for 2-3 business days.
They can be jerks at customer service so be mindful.
They told me that they'd waive the shipping fee because my phone broke within 30 days of buying it.
I've only had the phone for 4 total months now since the original purchase and I'm on my 4th one because the warranty phones are all refurbished junk that someone else sent back. And they are still trying to charge me the $20 shipping fee on each one, after saying they've waived it.
The last one I got was broken out of the box. Had to do a factory reset just to get it to power on. I sent it back, and now they want to add another fee for not accepting it.
When you ask to speak to a customer service supervisor, don't believe their BS story about how their manager just walked into a meeting and they'll call you back. It's a lie. I've asked for supervisors 3 times in this process at various times of the day and amazingly....each time the supervisor had 'just walked into a meeting' like it was being read off a script.
None of them ever called me back.
So they will lie to your face. Don't take any of the BS from the customer service reps. Tell them your phone is unusable because of poor manufacturing and that you're not going to accept anything other than a replacement. Then be aware that you will NOT get a new MT4G. If you stick with the MT4G you WILL get a refurbished POS.
Wow thanks now I'm having second thoughts. I went to the t mobile store instead and they where nice about they said they would replace with a other my4g and said it would be new but I know that's bs now.
Also do you really need to unroot your phone? I just have the stock Rom with non apps that require root permissions? I've heard of people just returning it like that with no problem just want verify. Thanks

In trouble with whom? You own the device right? Have you voided your warranty and gone where no carrier will allow? Absolutely.

So right now I have a Verizon stock rom. Should I try to go back to unrooted stock? Or stay how I am? I froze the Verizon program that notified me of it.
Why do you want to go back to unrooted? Just to get the message to go away? Why did you root in the first place? If you're worried about Verizon knowing that your phone is rooted, believe me, it's not an issue. That bloatware program is not spying on you or sending info to big red. Especially after you froze it.
If the message bothers you so much, or you're so worried about the ramifications of rooting/modding a device you paid for yourself and now completely own, then you probably don't belong joining a community like this. Sorry to be harsh, but every thread on here is loaded with disclaimers about the ramifications of altering the stock firmware.
