if i root my phone using the gingerbreak exploit can i still update to the next sony ericsson's update? and would rooting my phone void its warranty?
Yes, you should be able to.
Rooting it shouldn't. Void tour warranty but it's better to read up on it and u r still able to update it

Rooting does not void any warranty since you can flash the original firmware back to the phone(most of the time)
and even if you cant, se didnt say anything about my rooted x10

After rooting android the warranty is stable or what???
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
Rooting voids the warranty. Just make sure that you can un-root first, or accept the risk...
Note: just because the warranty is void, that doesn't mean that Motorola won't repair the phone if you break it. However, any repair not covered by the warranty will be chargeable. And remember that the warranty only covers defects, not accidental damage.

Even though the rooting voids the warranty .. you can revert back to the base rom..only thing that u need to do is .. check weather the Fixed SBF for Ur region (India in Ur case) is available for download or not .. if yes... then after rooting and installing Clockworkmod take a complete system back up of ur present stock ROM...then go on with either CM7 or CM9 ..
Now when u want to come back to stock ..just flash the SBF of ur region and do a nandroid restore of ur backup ..unroot ..Finish ..u r back on stock again
How can I do it about SBF...I don't know can you plz tell me...I am from India!!!

I hope you're not doing it for some kind of warranty reason, because if so you're hosed. Razr M has a root checker. When you get into recovery, you will notice a yellow "qe 0/1" or something like this. It will say "0/1" if the device has been rooted before but isn't now, "1/1" if the device is currently rooted, and "0/0" if the device has never been rooted.
It is impossible to make it say "0/0" after root, so even if you unroot it (trivial, just fastboot back to stock) it will always say that you have rooted it at one point in time, which voids your warranty (and your TOS, depending). Rooting this phone means taking it into your own hands.
Bastards!
What about for replacement devices after the warranty is over? Like if you get the insurance on the phone, does rooting void that too?

Don't quote me on this, and YMMV but the Verizon (Asurion) insurance covered my rooted d2g a few months ago... it should cover the M as well

So fast boot back to stock will reset the root checker counter?

Would anyone mind linking a verification on this issue? Thinking of getting a RAZR M myself and being able to get abck to stock with a "qe 0/0" in case of a hardware malfunction would be something I would want.
I'm also looking at root and custom roms, and interested in this.
actually in the supersu app ther is an option that says full unroot it is in the settings under clean up and it says full unroot
Can I only unroot my Razr M back to STOCK ICS??? How would I unroot and get JellyBean back? Or can I not get it back?
Btw I prefer the notification bar on ICS versus the new JB one....

Well, the issue is not unrooting; its that Motorola has a root checker in the recovery menu that says whether the phone is rooted, not rooted, or not rooted but was rooted in the past. That last one is the concern....

I had a crazy counter read that was 2:1. I unrooted, flashed to ICS, factory ota to JB and it read 0. That phone is long gone. Had to reflash JB last week on my replacement and now I'm steady at 1:1. So, my guess is you can't. You could on the OG RAZR I believe, but not this updated system. My first M had that reading before the root exploit was available. (2:1)

Hi,
I am waiting for note 3 to arrive. Ordered by my company.
I have a S2 now and have flashed many roms and was always rooted.
Now I run stock rom rooted only to freeze apps.
Having read a lot about knox and its warranty void, I wonder do I need root just to freeze apps? Can it be done without root?

No you can not freeze apps on a non root device but if it is a company phone you need to talk to your it-manager if you are allowed to do so. For Security reasons
Thx.
My company is real easy bout this stuff. Dont have clue what root is.
Anyway I thought apps can be turned off on 4.3? Through the apps manager?

When you root your android phone, it's warranty is immediately voided and can no longer be looked at by the provider.

Just unroot before bringing it in. There have been reports of people sending in broken phones with custom roms and still getting repairs with Samsung.

No that is impossible to recover from but I know several people who still redeemed warranty even with a tripped knox counter.
I know it probably will, but I've read that it doesn't trip Samsung's root checker, so I wondered if it trips the LG root checker?

Honestly don't know I used towel to root by g2 now its awesome. I once bricked my g2 in January by rooting with a computer and got a replacement I just said it didn't turn on and they gave me a new one (it was rooted) so I'm not really worried if I'm rooted or not
I havent seen an LG ROOT CHECKER. And what you mean with Samsung is that it doesn't strip Knox to 0x1

Only evidence I've found of a phone being rooted is if you throw it in download mode. It then says" rooted" at the bottom in red text. However, flashing back to stock using KDZ or TOT once again return the phone to "unrooted" status
