So, dear Experts,
Is Someone know a way to UNroot manually (whitout PC, only inside the phone)?
The reason for this, is to fill a hole for my security, if everything would go wrong in the future (for example: if I lose pc connection cause of faulty microUSB port, but still have xrecovery... 'cause AFAIK no cable - no update, so thus a way to roll everything back to factory using only the phone and SD.)
But solutions for rolling back to Factory state (more exactly to a state having Warranty) WITHOUT cable/PC, are also welcome. I mean no root, no xrecovery (or remove these), so nothing that would compromise warranty.
Thanx in advance!
/OPs delete this if it's... misplaced, whatever/
First of all i hope you did a back up of the SE stock rom using xrecovery before you installed the custom rom.
You can use xrecovery to roll back to the SE stock rom
but you cant unroot your phone without a pc.
you always need the pc to root and unroot your phone. (correct me if i am wrong)
Your warranty still exists even if you have a rooted phone. The rooting of a device is legal now so dont worry...
But if you stiil want to unroot just delete the /system/app/superuser.apk and the /system/bin/su and you lose your root...
Regards.
Else Reset all Data in Phone via settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset
Hope this does the job

Maybe you live in the right country, but as I know it depends on country and provider, and I don't know any servicing law modifications like this here...

It seems too easy to believe... you mean, I restore with xrecovery, than do a factory reset, and it's done? like it deletes root and all software modifications?
Restore to se software using xrecovery
Then delete superuser.apk from /system/app
Then xrecovery.tar from /system/bin
Then remove su from /system/bin
Then uninstall any root programs
You can do factory reset just in case
And you should be good to go
atleast in my country they don't care or understand about rooting and stuff (being nokia dominated)
So they just repair without looking
I had my battery replaced
Although they reflash the firmware >.<

If your country dont have any specific law about rooting, then the law that exists is the law of the country where is the company who creates the os (google=usa), so you are ok...
But afaik the service points dont care if your device is rooted or not, when i send mine i have owains 2.2 and they just fix the problem and i get it back w/o to ask me to pay or something...
ps: ofcourse they update my phone to the last se fw...

I wanna believe you, but two moderators sad in one of my country's (unofficial) SE forum, that:
1. since SE opened the bootloader, it's under your warranty to root.
2. and the other sad: yeah, but not for X10 Mini/Pro...
So what's the truth?
UPDATE:
I've read some articles about this, so the global and the regional news are quite different.
1. So the global news are: SE (and SE first! thumbs up!) decided to open the bootloader for his android OS phones which are going to be released in 2011!! So NO, X10, X10 Mini/Pro and X8 won't be released with open bootloader.
That means rooting these "older" phones is still above warranty
2. These news effect every region, but mostly for unlocked phones... So the truth is the PROVIDERS can still modificate their warranties, like closing the bootloader and make you lose your warranty after opening it at home...
But in the end for me what's only count: I have to remove every root modifications from my phone, before bring it to service.
Anyway thanks for the instructions, I hope it helped some others as well.

i've just bought htc tattoo for my wife.and surprisingly there's no android app market..i did search and found com.android.vending.apk and try to install it through htc sync.installation was successful but sadly i cant download any applications..i stuck at starting download and nothing happens.is this the right vending.apk or can someone post to me vending.apk from our original tattoo?please.or i need to root my tattoo?but my phone is already unlock...and i also cant find facebook.apk for our tattoo...please help.
if android market doesnt come on the phone, the best way fix the issue is to flash an official rom from htc. rooting should allow you to install the market properly.
remember the official tattoo maket does not allow access to all apps, even thougn 95% of apps work flawlessly on the tattoo. i would highly reccomend the modified market posted on this forum. -I believe it should be possible to root and install this with without flashing your phone.
@havok123:
thanks for the reply..
mine is orginal htc ROM.dont you think so?i didnt flash any custom ROM.yet ive read that in some places htc tattoo doest come with android market,like in my country..
so you suggest that i root my wife's tattoo and install the patched android app market?
is there any other solution without rooting?i just dont want to break the warranty..
thanks for helping.
But what's if you go to warranty service and say, that there isn't any market. They must repair that. But even patched market is better I also think, that warranty service workers doesn't know what the hell is that ROOT, so they repair you phone whenever there is ROOT or isn't. But still there is a way to unROOT your phone, so it should regain warranty. Or maybe I wrong...

if you have just rooted your mobile you can allways make a hard reset
and get back to normal.
If you have just flashed a custom rom to your tattoo then you must
flash again official rom this time so you can get back to normal.

This guide let you use coustom ROM (any) without losing warranty (not at the beggining!)
I'm not responsible for any damage for your phone.
Instructions:
1. Get back to 2.1 stock.
2. Root and install CWM
3. Flash any coustom ROM.
4. Download package.
5. Run it.
6. You are using your coustom ROM but with warranty.
Download:
- Just a second some problems in building
Please note that CyanogenMod settings will not work.
Doesn't rooting void warranty?
Yes and no. By rooting your phone you've voided your warrenty but you can reflash 2.1 update 1 by using SEUS to relock your phone and the manufacturer would be none of the wiser.
But if they suspect you have hacked your phone and the damage was caused by flashing custom roms/unlocking they have the right to refuse/charge for repairs
It's kind a noob... coz sony ericsson sync is always working and hidden rootkit is working... they collect data even we press a button & touches the digitizer (according to new info google it) so they probably could find we rooted ....
Maybe I'm wrong

You've seen an admission from SE they use Carrier IQ? I thought I read they denied it. In any case isn't it the carrier rather than the manufacturer that install Carrier IQ?
I'm sticking with my AOSP ROM! Warranty voided!

I understand that, but I read the OP to mean you can have a custom ROM without voiding your warranty, my question was that by running one on a rooted phone your warranty is voided.
I understand that there are ways to "cover your tracks" in the event you need to use your warranty.
Very true. you cannot have a custom rom without voiding your warranty
5. This warranty does not cover product failures caused by software installations, modifications, service or repair or opening of the product performed by a non-Sony Ericsson authorised person.

We're such rebels! Ha!
Useless guide.
That's complicated but first you rooting installing and unrooting.
I won't get warranty anyway coz I bought the phone from grey market..... So the post is useless to me. But interested to know how....
basically what you can do is, to try to make SE think youve never been rooted or your bootloader is locked. Both is obviously pretty easy to do: just flash back to SE kernel, lock bootlader, flash back to stock rom. Thats it.
Also: What should this package do? As soon as they start up your device they will see you've modded something.
if we alter the s/w then it does go against the warranty. then what?
this thread is going to be in flames soon (will end up in argument) i guess.
The thing is that if you modify the kernel, is when you have lost the warranty completely... Just pray, pray that if something happens to ur mobile works enough to put the usb cable and recover using seus...
As seus restores everything, i seriously doubt that there is a waterprint in the phone saying that u rooted it...
So just prepare seus...
Anyway, i think sony ericsson should change it, cos as u should now sony ericsson said that they were going to help developers by providing the code that they needed, so... The next step i guess is the warranty thing

Using SEUS does not modify your bootloader, you have to restore/lock it manually.

Hello,
I'm going to send my Galaxy S2 in for repairs but I need to un-root it first.
I'm searching for the official Vodafone Australia kernel DUKJ1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
The kernel is there but because multiupload is down I cannot download it. I have tried Check Fus downloader but it does not have DUKJ1. Is there any other way I can get the kernel?
Also do I even need to un-root it as I have used the usb jig to reset the binary counter?
Um, actually, Checkfus does have KJ1 for Voda AU. This is the most recent firmware available for Voda AU via Kies (I just checked this with my own copy of Checkfus).
Download the entire rom and extract the kernel zImage.
If you leave a rooted kernel on it & whomever repairs the phone notices this, there's a fair chance your warranty will be deemed to have been voided. Frankly, you might as well flash the entire KJ1 rom package from Checkfus (for all whomever repairs it knows, you probably updated OTA via Kies), then do a factory reset then double check to make sure there's no trace of any apps that required root left on the phone.
Then jig it again just to be doubly sure.
Then done. Send it in for warranty service.

What version of Checkfus do you have as I can't find it. I select Android then GT-1900T but KJ1 is nowhere to be seen?
Thanks.
2.1. Android/I9100T/Australia (Vodafone). Tells you original firmware was KF2, then hit check firmware. Tells you KJ1 is latest released on 8/11/2011.
Are you sure you're using the PC version & not the phone app ?

To re jig it I flashed the old bootloader, should I re flash the new bootloader or leave the old one?
No worries
Unless you have a specific reason for flashing the new bootloader (I.E. something not working without it), leave it. The less you mess around with bootloaders the better.

The reasons I planned on sending the phone in for repair/replacement were that is would turn on and off by itself sometimes, would open voice talk by itself almost constantly and would make the charging 'beep' noise when not plugged in.
Since unrooting none of these problems have happened again, should I still send it in for repair/replacement? Why would unrooting fix these problems?
Hard to say. Was the phone just rooted, or were you running a custom rom ? If the latter it may have been something in the rom causing the issues.
Up to you. Maybe run it for a week or two (or whatever) & see how it goes. You've unrooted it, you can jig it if you haven't already & send it in for warranty service whenever you like.
Obviously jigging it & going back to stock is never a guarantee of warranty service (given you've voided the warranty by rooting it in the first place), but most people who have done this have been fine so far as warranty service is concerned. I have seen a few exceptions over the past few months on here, but it's hard to say whether those people followed all the steps before sending it in or not.
That would be a good idea!

No idea. That's entirely up to them. But unlikely to replace outside the first few weeks unless the phone was unfixable if previous experiences on here are anything to go by.

Any proper guide to be done before send to repair?.. i've just sent my phone to service today. Battery temperature warning problem. Re-flash stock rom with stock kernel. Everything goes back like factory settings
Just the usual steps I.E. flash stock firmware, do a wipe/factory reset, use jig to reset the flash counter, double check that the reset worked & there are no traces of old apps on the phone which required root that could tip off whomever fixes the phone that you'd rooted it. Some say you should first (while the phone is still rooted) go into CWRecovery and format cache, data, system, & sd card. Then flash stock firmware and then use the jig. Depends on how paranoid you are I guess.
As I said to the previous poster, there are no guarantees of warranty service after you root or flash non-stock firmware on your phone (you shouldn't expect same), however if you follow these steps you should get warranty service. But there are always exceptions.

Hello Guys!
I've been with my Honor 7 for around 4 Months now. I've rooted my good old Xperia Arc S after 2 years, because I've read that I would loose the warranty, when I root it.
Now I am afraid, if I should root my phone now, because I cannot get any information about what disadvantages (like the lost of my warranty etc.) I would have, when I root my Honor 7.
I know that I have unlock the bootloader in order to root my phone. Do I lost my warranty with that?
What would happen, when I have to invoke the warranty when my Honor 7 is rooted?
Do you have any experience concerning the warranty or anything like that?
Thanks in advance!

On paper if you unlock your bootloader thru the official huawei site then you will lose your warranty... On paper. In practice some service centres dont give a crap about it and will repair your stuff while others will find the smallest **** and deny your warranty claim. It's all luck.
But my take is that, if your phone works its very unlikely that its going to stop working in the next 8 months. So having the warranty is not needed. Of course if you spill water on it or drop it that's your fault and its not covered by the standard warranty anyway. On the other hand if you root your device and start doing the same stuff that some other people are doing around. Installing updates thru twrp, deleting every partition, lacking a backup of their original firmware, lacking a brain to understand how the android filesystem works and what are your safety mechanisms against totalling your phone.
TL;DR: bootloader unlock/modification of system insta woids your warranty. And if you dont know this then you are not experienced enough to go ahead and start experimenting.

Sure, here it is
I'm guessing it'll be the same answer if the device is purchased from an official Xiaomi store? I never got around to asking my local dealer unfortunately.
It shouldn't matter if the company that supplies the phone is OK with it..
Essentially you return the phone to the reseller and they then forward it on to Xiaomi for repairs/replacement...
The answer they have given is a cop out to make it sound like they are developer friendly but then stand behind the immunity of the reseller's refusal....

Don't think they mean that, it may be legal parlance for saying as long as u buy from an official reseller we will provide warranty.
And no we don't return the product to the reseller but always approach a service centre for warranty with a valid proof of purchase.
from my experience in the past, rooting or ubl doesn't affect the warranty as long as the device warranty seal is not damaged or broken. Because I've claimed a warranty a long time ago, I did some mistake and my xiaomi device is heavily bricked so I return the device to service center for repairment. Lucky me, it got covered by the warranty. But yeah, "the warranty may vary from seller to seller so would request you to coordinate with the respective point of purchase".
but my advice, try to relock the bootloader, unroot and revert back to official rom if possible before you claim the warranty.

Depends on the TWRP you used if it has features to support OTA Update, like the Batik TWRP for Pocophone, or OrangeFox.
I use Magisk for rooting. I prefer to download the OTA update file, then go to TWRP and flash it myself. I first wipe the Dalvik-cache and cache before flashing, just to be clean. After flashing, I am still in TWRP. I wipe the Dalvik cache and cache again, I am overkill here. I then flash Magisk again, since the OTA update would have removed it. Then reboot, and all ok, like nothing happened except that the OTA has been applied.

When you say that you 'prefer to download the OTA update file', do you mean the smaller OTA update file or the full ROM? If you mean the smaller file, does it get downloaded even after finding that you have rooted and are with TWRP?

Oh, to clarify, I download the full one. That's what always appears anyway when Xiaomi pushes an update to my phone, the full one.
I use apps2Sd pro to link some apps to the SD card. If I let the phone automatically update the ota, it does so, then root is removed, and then it is rebooted back to the system. Since root was removed, all root apps don't work and apps2Sd pro cannot show the apps that were linked and I have to root it and reboot again, then remount SD card.
By doing it manually, I update ota and root and flash whatever needs to be flashed while in recovery all in one go, it's just simpler for me, YMMV.
P.s. I always do a nandroid backup too, I forgot to mention. All done with the above in one session of recovery.

I know its a bit of a necro but this is so true in case of phones.
MOBO goes, no ones gonna know it was rooted.
Screen cracks, no warranty anyway.
Battery issues are hard to prove unless totally bonkers.
Whats left is buttons, mic/speaker and display anomalies like amoled yellow/purple tint. Most of these things wont happen in the warranty period anyway.
F-ed up situation is when a screen "pop out" and youre rooted on a phone that limits root in warranty. Happened to me on Samsung S3. After minor drop, ~20cm onto shaggy carpet, screen just turned off, no crack but no picture either. Warranty was rejected cuz of root.
