So I have an LG Optimus One and it's headphone jack is messed up for some reason.
It's well under warranty so no problem regarding that, BUT I've rooted my phone and installed a custom ROM.
Should I flash the stock ROM back and unroot my phone before sending it to the service center, or should I just take it as it is? Would they void my warranty if they find out?
I'm located in New Delhi, India, if someone has any such experiences please tell.
Thanks.
whell someone said u should get it back stock
i belive u know what that means
why take any chances,flash it back to stock.

Yes rooting and flashing is illegal. There's a fine of $ 10000 and imprisonment of 3yrs if found guilty and they will also sue your properties

Are you serious? Its not Illegal I think since it doesn't have impact on sales of the company or has anything to do with the company or manufacturer of the phone. Max they can do is VOID the warranty. Nothing else.
Rooting the device voids your warranty. Nothings illegal. If u want warranty back flash stock rom using kdz updater method. Or if u have just rooted stock rom then unroot.

How about that you read the sticky threads, references in there and stop asking questions that have been answered about zillion times? This board has about half million of active users, if everyone starts posting similar junk, we are seriously doomed.

Warranty is always void, if u use custom rom,root, recovery etc.
I am using the same Gingerbread and my sim/data working fine.

Go ask your lawyer. Flashing an official FW does not affect warranty in countries with sane legal system. Nor does flashing whatever piece of junk void your warranty for HW defects (again, in countries with sane legal system.)
Just wait till monday! . Mik is coming with a new release today or tomorrow. It's going to reveal some very good things. Also Mik will hopefully release two patches to resolve baseband issues in a few days. That will nullify the need to flash baseband if users don't want to flash baseband.
If you can't wait this much, flash official gb via kdz or lgmdp while following the instructions carefully.
Rooting, flashing voids your warranty. One should be very careful while reading instructions. If one follows instructions carefully, chances of brick are less than 1%.
If you are plain unlucky and brick your device somehow, you may go to service center and act as a noob and just tell them you tried to upgrade from lg pc suite and something wrong happened. Here there is 90% chance that you will get a replacement.
Keeping all these things in mind, you can take a decision.

Rude? WTH. You are asking in the wrong place. Again - you need to ask someone who is familiar with your local legal system to answer questions about warranty. Not here. N.B. that manufactures' claims about voiding warranty are often illegal and have no effect in reality if people are really willing to assert their rights.

He is not rude in any way but i believe i can use some other words to explain you. Ans beauty is he has explained you quite well though it different manner.
Flashing any ROM and rooting can affect your warranty, but those are country specified. Like in India we can't have warranty after rooting(Lg people are rally don't know what is rooting and all they just keep replacing hardware and some time whole device) but doktornotor said they have at least hardware warranty even after flashing custom ROM.
If you care so much about the warranty, you should not have joined the xda community in first place. Stuck with the old official ROM with no root and enjoy the laggy, less performance and less battery.
If you need best ROM, best performance and no lags- Stop worrying about the warranty.

OK, i managed to corrupt the efs folder. Now i have no efs backup, no IMEI and no baseband. I know, my bad, i should have made a backup, flame me if you want.
Basically i can't even return the phone for repair because they won't accept a phone with no IMEI. Good eh? Any suggestions? What should i do? Should i just give up and stick with this overpriced media player?
I'm very, very sad right now.

If you already flashed a custom ROM via Odin, you have also no warranty, because the custom binary counter is not 0. You have to get a JIG to reset the counter, before they will believe something happened with KIES....

Somebody help me with my issue
I was having RR ROM with Siyah 3.3.3b Kernel and the secondary boot is port JB
I was on the secondary boot and I was restarting I found that the device is crashed
I thought it’s the kernel so I booted the phone to the download mood and flashed a kernel again and its not working also
I tried to add new software from Odin and it was giving me errors like | failed to mount emmc
I searched the internet and by mistake I flashed the device with i9100G PIT files and I re-partitioned the device and also I flashed a new boot loader not only this but also during the flashing process my pc crashed and it restarts leaving my device with no life
I can’t even turn the device on or go to download mood or anything the only thing that let me have a faith that the mobile is still a live that its getting heat while the battery is plugged in
Anyone can help with this?
Hard Brick?
As far a I know flashing a wrong bootloader hard-bricks your phone. the bootloader is what loads first, ans then in turn loads the rest of the system. if your bootloader is broken, it will neither load recovery, DL-Mode nor the system. maybe you can find a solution to this by searching for wrong bootloader or anything of the sort.
if everything fails you would need to get a new motherboard or whatever it is called in an android phone. there are guides in this forum on this, I once used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253969 althogh the photos only seem to work with the old xda2010 theme.
I hope it is not what it looks like and you get your phone up and ruing again.
Bootloader had nothing to do with what went wrong for him. He flashed an I9100G pit file to an I9100.
OP, unfortunately there's nothing you can do at this point short of JTag service, or visiting/sending the phone to a Samsung service center.
find a repair center that preforms jtag near you, it should cost you about 40$

am living in Egypt we don't have Jtag services .. i saw what they can make on you-tube and am still in warranty so i don't know what to do should i pass it by the warranty should they let me pay or it will be free ?
From what i've read on this forum its better if you try to send it to samsung for warranty your chances to get it repaired is 50/50 just play dump you have nothing to loose
thanks guys for your reply i think i made an issue with the MB BOIS firmware hence it has to be hard flashed in the warranty so am scheduling the same on next Friday i hope that they will not ask for money as it was on a custom ROM
because here in Egypt Warranty is make fool of us and they always take much money to fix noob issues so guess what they can do regarding mine.
I've got my device from the warranty , its working fine now .. i need to inform you that Warranty in Egypt confirmed that flashing custom ROMs is not voiding the Warranty its just black listing the device in their records .
They are flashing boot loaders smoothly.

Hello
I was trying to flash jellybean when on ICS 4.0.4, and the screen suddenly turned off. Now it won't start any more.
What can I do?
Thanks..
Use some common sense and be more descriptive if you want help from us.
Which specific rom did you flash?
How did you flash it?
What point did your phone go off?
What kernel did you flash?
What model sgs2do you have?

For me it sounds like the eMMc Brick Bug. Atleast the sympom matches the one described here
Read about it. If it the sympoms matches then i might wanna suggest a Jig or JTAG solution. If not then service may be your only option.
My phone got bricked, it's currently in repair. Let's just see how it goes for me, will probably e back this week AND they'd probably figure out that i had it rooted (and thus warranty voided)
Cheers and good luck!

Hello everyone, I have a question about rooting and installing a random ROM on a Galaxy S3 and warranty cover.
lets say i want to check some ROMs and kernels for my device and once i need a warranty service i can install my stock ROM, kernel and recovery, but
I know there is a chip that records everything you do with your phone(flash and root). I see some programs like "triangle away" that claims to reset the counter to zero. so my question is it possible to restore all the setting so i can use my warranty service?
I get the phone with 24 month warranty and I dont want to void it only because i want to remove the apps i dont need but google wants me to use, so i must root it.
also i see in the status of the phone there is a date when the phones kernel were installed(pic added).
if you guys can refer me to get more input on the topic i will appreciate.

use an app called framaroot .. do a lil search and you'll find it
it roots your phone using an exploit that dont cause your phone status to change to modified therefor no counter is ativated, menaing root whyle phone remains it warranty
use aragorn exploit and then install titanium backup to remove the apps u want

what?
but how do I know what ROM version I have right now?
in the status section i see baseband version :XXELLA
but the build number is XXELLB
and is it enough just to flash back the ROM or i need to flash the kernel too?
and i have to ask another Q:
if i flash an official samsungs ROM that for some reason i cant install via kies, does it also void the warranty if i do so?
we on xda don't use Kies, we use Odin. read the instructions.
it doesn't have to be the exact build that you have right now

If they are not the vendors then that law does not apply as Samsungs warranty is a sepereate4d limited warranty to the owner .

ok, hence if I buy direct at Samsung, I get the "normal" statutory warranty and hence incl. warranty when rooted. If I buy with another vendor, they have to take care of the warranty I guess as the law text only speaks from "vendor"?
