to get a warranty repair, do you need to unroot (Belgium) - G2 and Desire Z General

Hi all,
a question for everyone who knows about the repair policy of HTC in Belgium (or if they have a european/worldwide warranty policy, also good)
if I send in my device, does it have to be unrooted or am I clear to send my device in after making a backup?
Thanks
V

It's always better that you unroot before you go for warranty. Nipqer has a guide for it.

[Q] About warranty???

After rooting android the warranty is stable or what???

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!!!

[Q] Will rooting void my warranty

Hi,
As above, I know the warranty on my One X will be void due to having to unlock the bootloader through HTCDEV, not sure about the Nexus 7.
Thanks

It's a given that unlocking the bootloader of a device and installing non-stock firmware will technically void the warranty, although some OEMs are less stringent about it than others. That being said, it's quite simple to restore everything to stock on a Nexus device for a return or warranty exchange.
Great. So if the devices developed a H/W fault of some kind, I could relock, go back to stock and Asus would be none the wiser?
My only reason is to revert back to 4.1.2 because of Bluetooth issues
Thanks for your help

Warranty and rooting help

I rooted my phone.
I need to send it back to google for warrantly replacement.
If I install the phone back to stock, will I still be able to do so?
Will Google still honor the warranty?
Has anyone done this here?
Yes. It will be fine.

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.

Hi,
May you suggest ways on how to return to complete stock or for warranty purposes? [emoji1]
Thank you for your time!

The most we can do is to do a super wipe and flash a stock rom with Odin, it will flash the stock recovery too, but KNOX will always stay at 0x1 until a genius dev(geohot ?) finds how to reset it, so if it's a Samsung Store they will not take it to repair.

Unless you live in Europe, Samsung and all the other OEMS are required to repair the rooted device under warranty unless they can prove with facts that rooting is the cause of the faillure EU law.
