Nope, you're pretty screwed. When unlocking the bootloader, the phone tells you that your warranty is now void.
The nexus S has a oem bootloader unlock. In other words, samsung will not hold the fact that bootloader is unlocked against you. You do need to get rid of miui and get back to stock. There is a thread showing how to do this and provides the files you need. I'll see if I can find it for you.

I said that because I was screwed over by Samsung.
I just use cwm to flash the latest ota rom then locked the bootloader and reboot.
no issues from samsung regarding voided warranty. Perhaps you had sent it in with the bootloader unlocked?
Just use rom managers stock 2.3.3 and flash it... then lock bootloader by the instructions provided a post up
Just a heads up... same thing happened to a guy and he sent it in.for a speaker that wasn't working ... he waited over a month to get his phone back rather then them sending him a new one or refurbished

lol. are you trolling?
just flash the original system images found in the development forum, i think they are a sticky
good luck! make sure the bootloader says locked, and there is no super user app and no custom recovery!!!
I used Stock Odin image that will restore everything rom, recovery...ect then just lock bootloader. Funny thing is i sent mine back all stock and bootloader locked few months ago and got back with bootloader unlocked.

Just got my play back frow warranty service. It had a borken or flex cable to the to screen so i could not see anything. Ofc i had a rom installed. So i went back to stock and took a relock bootloader ftf. Then i sent it away and woop got it back fixed So unlocking bootloader is fine if you relock it and then send it to warranty for hardware fixing. I'm not sure that this will work for all but they had also flashed the real original firmware before they sent it to me.
Have you guys been this lucky or is it common that they ignore bootloader history status when they fix hardware problems ?

As promised, I thought I would update you on my phone that I had recently sent to Sony Repair Centre. The phone had a relocked bootloader, no receipt, no charger and it has STILL been repaired!

I had the same flex problem so I sent it to sony with a relocked bootloader.
Just arrived today, fixed, working like new and I unlocked the bootloader again.
I must say the repair service was pretty fast.

My r800i's touch screen packed up after flashing it was ok for a while then it died, i tried other roms and kernels but no luck, probably incompatible software im not sure.
Anyway i flashed a stock rom but forgot to re-lock the bootloader then sent my phone to vodafone for repair, 2 weeks later i got it back with a letter stating that they could not repair it due to some tampering to the software.
I have since re-locked my bootloader with the link from this thread and then repaired my phone via seus,
I still have no response form my touchscreen though.:crying:
I have now sent my phone to sony for repair directly and I am just keeping my fingers crossed that vodafone did not contact sony about my fault when i previously sent it to them.
I will post the results in this thread
Why are you bumping old thread?

I recently bought a Nexus 7 and have a Sony Xperia S. Sony will not repair your device for warranty if you unlock the boot loader as your DRM keys are lost forever. However I've looked at a few topics regarding this and can't seem to find a straight answer regarding the Nexus 7 as some say it does void it and others sag it doesn't.
Do Google care if you unlock the boot loader as I received the C80 model and read that lots of people are still having issues. Thank you for your time.

Yes, it states everywhere when you try to root that "This may void your Warranty"
What they mean by "May" is that they will use this as an excuse not to honour your warranty if they decide.
But if you can prove that it is a hardware fault, not in anyway caused by you rooting it then they will honour your warranty.
Hope this helps
Yes. Pretty much when you mod a device you aren't covered by warranty.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
As far as I know, yes. But you can always flash to stock ROM. It will bring your warranty back.
Flash stock in fastboot, fastboot oem lock.
Of course if your device is broken then flashing stock might not be possible.
Just want to know if unlocking bootloader will void the warranty?
The Nexus 4 says it "may" void warranty, as seen below.
On this video /watch?v=532sQpllDl8
at 1:40 mark, it says " Unlock bootloader (may void warranty) "
Can anyone shed some light on this?
If it were to unlock bootloader (to install custom roms), could you relock it so they wern't to know and
would this void warranty for future hardware problems if any occured?
Unlock your bootloader may void your warranty...but after you've done this, you can change the recovery, root your phone, change your ROM...
You can even restore the original ROM, restore the factory recovery and relock your mobile:angel:
As long as you return the phone to stock rom relock your bootloader your warranty is good

Is there a way of them knowing you ever unlocked it? There were reports that "Samsung"? or someone knew if you did it but unsure if they actually cared.
And on a different note, is this phone do you know already rooted?
It basically means that if your device is broken due to modifying the software then the warranty won't cover it.
Warranty is still covered in defects caused not by you.

It will not come pre-rooted.
You could unlock the the bootloader, allowing you to write to the system partition and then root it. Most will unlock bootloader, load custom recovery, and then just load a pre-rooted ROM.

So flashing a new Rom say cyanogenmod will already make the phone rooted once I've unlocked bootloader? Didn't know that, ta

Although it is definitely possible for a rom to be non-rooted, I doubt you'll see many (if any) roms like that since they are generally pre-rooted.
CM is rooted
Hardware damage that is not your fault e.g. backlight driver blows is covered under warranty even if bootloader is unlocked. Unlocking the bootloader voids the software warranty only.
Or atleast thats what I understand.

Oh, the nexus 4 doesn't have the stupid "YOU OMG UNLAWKED THE BOOTLAWDERS AND NOW U DIE CAUSE I IS SAMSUNG ANd NO WARRNATIES EBEN THO I BRUK THE PHONE CAUSE I DO BAD QWALITY"?
O: gasp.
so i am thinking of changing my htc one x to a nexus 4 mostly because of the pure android and htc's attitude to developers. i have found a used one which is unlocked. would that be a problem with the warranty? when i unlocked my htc obviously i voided my warranty..
You can always unlock and lock doors..you just need the key.

İs there for Asus zenfone 2 laser ze550kl relock bootloader ??? Pleasee help me
Nope, there isn't. Did something happen to your phone? Do you have to send it in to the ASUS service centre? I sent in mine 4 times (could not boot), all with unlocked boot loaders. They still continued the repair (and the warranty as well) as if nothing happened.

So you are saying that you have unlocked bootloader and still your warranty is NOT void? Can you tell us which laser variant you have and what method you used to unlock your bootloader? And did Asus service guys relock your bootloader?

I have the ZE550KL variant and I used the official unlock tool provided by ASUS.
After the servicing, they would just tell me that they replaced the motherboard (bootloader locked). That's it.
What's worse is that even if the seal sticker is not there, they would just take it in.
I'm not sure if you would have much luck at your local service centre, but I would recommend you going to the official service centres instead. This is because if you were to go to, for example, an authorised ASUS repair shop, they would have to check extremely thoroughly (in case anything goes wrong).

Sorry, but I do not get what you are trying to say.
Though, if any developers are interested in finding out what files are changed etc. so as to re-lock the bootloader, I do not mind sending them files of such as my bootloader is still locked as of yet (received my phone back from the ASUS service centre last Monday).
