Hello everyone, I have a question. If I root or unlock the bootloader of my Lenovo K6 Power within warranty period, will my warranty void? If it's void what should I do? Is there any way to Lock the Bootloader? Please give me a answer. Thank you
Nope it didn't
Yes it's possible to lock again bootloader with fastboot. But lockong bootloader will not restore your warranty

You can root or unlock your phone. Incase you need warranty back reflash factory firmware and relock the bootloader. So warranty will be restored.
yes warranty is void

Hi I bought my Galaxy S4 i9505 in Hong Kong and now currently using it London.
I assume it is an international version and hence sim- unlocked. So my question is does being sim- unlocked means bootloader unlocked?
Having done some research I know after updating to 4.3 I would have to unlock the bootloader before rooting.
So how would I check whether the bootloader is unlocked? I have found various methods for HTC or Sony smartphones but there doesn't seem to be one for Samsung Galaxy devices.
This is my first post in this forum so please let me know if I am missing any information. Thank you

No.Unlocking sim doesn't mean that the bootloader is unlocked.The new bootloader Knox indicates that whether any unofficial or custom stuffs are flashed or not.If u flash custom stuffs then Knox flag will be triggered and u will void ur warranty.Currently there are very few methods for bypassing Knox eg- Kingo root.

Thank you very much for you reply.
So let's say I don't care about the warranty, do I still need to unlock bootloader in order to root (and install custom ROMs)?

If Knox is triggered you wont get OTA/Kies updates.
No need of unlocking(never heard of unlocking Knox). Just flash CF-auto root via Odin and bingo ur phone is rooted.

I have found this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
It claims to root a device without triggering KNOX, so can I flash a custom ROM after rooting via this method? or would I still need to unlock bootloader?

Read it fully. It says you cannot install custom rom/recovery. The day you install custom recovery, Knox will be triggered n you ll lose official updates.You can search for Knox in the forum it would be very useful.
I have i9500 with 4.4.2 update. how can i root it without voiding the warranty. Is there any way. i tried searching the forum but didnt find relative answers with 4.4.2 Android. Please need help here.
4.4.2 out of luck
there is no saferoot
if you want to root you will void the warranty
but dont care about warranty, your phone will have 2 years warranty then it will end and your phone will be old enough
just enjoy your phone ! you paid for it !
So there is no other way. if i root warranty Void.
Unfortunately yes !
As above, could I unroot or re-lock the device if I encounter any hardware issues for warranty purposes?
Done a quick search but couldn't find any info re warranty just that an unroot is possible
Thanks in advance
same question here. In Oneplus one, if you falshed a factory firmware you lost root. In fact people (calkulin used to release firmwares with root). I wonder if that is the case here as well. Also I am not sure you lose warranty for oneplus if you root,
No you don't void your warranty if you root the phone.
Could you provide an official source confirming that?
https://oneplus.net/support/answer/will-rooting-or-unlocking-the-bootloader-void-my-warranty
Since Oneplus One, Oneplus has supported devices that were rooted and unlocked. They, in fact, would tell you how to unlock it if you asked. If they changed. That policy, there'd be a much bigger commotion than the one over it not having NFC.
That's great thanks for the replies
Is there currently a way to unroot/relock the device?

Just flash with stock rom,
OnePlus allows you to unlock bootloader and root your phone without voiding your warrenty. That's one main reason why I love OnePlus over many other companies.
Ok so I bought the Zenfone 3 ze520kl about 5 days ago and a I have a little question.
One thing that I enjoy in my devices is to root them , but this is my first device that has a locked boatloader. So I am aware that if I unlock the boatloader I will lose warranty , is there any step in order to lock it back so it can get accepted by warranty ???
Thanks in advance.
actually you can't re-lock bootloader with official guide

Sorry if this is already been asked.
Just new to how Knox works with root.
I'm currently on stock Rom with Knox intact, is there a way I can root without tripping Knox due to having 2years warranty on the device, or would I just loose warranty completely after rooting due to voiding it.
Thanks
Never mind I rooted now with twrp and custom Rom.
Admin remove please
Thanks
