Does HTC honor the warranty on N1 if I send it in with CM7 rom on it? Or do I have to re-install the original?
If its unlocked bootloader I don't believe so
I would restore it to stock just so it's not taking the piss. Unlocked bootloaders don't seem to worry them though.

Hey guys. I am having troubles with my phones ear piece so I need to take it in for warranty but I am wondering if I need to flash the Stock Bell ROM before I hand it in. Is this needed? Will it VOID my warranty if I have a costum ROM installed....
Please help..
Thanks
Yes it will void your warranty...

You will need to flash the stock ROM, S-On, unroot. Otherwise they will know the second they go into bootloader that you are rooted and S-Off, which voids your warranty. They will be looking for any reason to charge you for the repair. So any sign of root or a custom ROM will be bad news for you.

I returned to stock , and also re-locked my bootloader.
Except my software version says modified. My bootloader is locked.
Can i still receive OTA updates in this state? Anyone have experience with this?
My Phone is the XT1563 canadian model.

if u reflash stock rom with stock recovery with an unmodified system.....you will get ota and u can install it.....also locking and unlocking bootloader doesnot effect OTA......and u can not change 'modified' status even after locking your bootloader...
Hi i hope one of you more technical people can help me out. I would like to return my moto x force back to stock after running Lineage os on it because I need to sell it. I have flashed the stock MM once before in fast boot and managed to achieve this but I was unable to relock the bootloader. How can I flash the stock rom and also lock the bootloader so that the person who buys the phone gets the chance of the next OTA update for Nougat when it eventually arrives. Thanks in advance for reading.
Unlocked bootloader suppose be not a problem for OTA.
but how do i relock the bootloader properly in order to get any future update?
Also are there any downsides in unlocking the bootloader? Can everything be reverted later on? If warranty is temporarily void, can it be restored later?
Alot of doubts and questions but I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me. Thankyou!
Technically,
when you unlock the bootloader, it's not gonna be under warranty anymore. So basically it is like you unlocked the bootloader, flashed as many roms/kernels you could and than when your mind is set to again use MIUI and get the warranty, you flash latest MIUI and relock the bootloader.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S5 running Lineage OS, and I wanted to restore back to the original ROM or in the best case a debranded ROM. If I flashed the original Verizon ROM will the bootloader relock as I want to go back to stock but want to keep the bootloader locked + be able to access TWRP, but I will probably have to reflash TWRP.

When it comes to the Galaxy S5 Devices (specifically), the ability to unlock their bootloader is determined by their CID (there's either the CID11 & CID15) and those can never be changed.
With that stated...
If that specific device (you're asking about) already has an unlocked bootloader, you will be able to unlock it again after flashing the Stock Firmware.
I hope I had explained this okay via text...
Good Luck!
