your phone will be serviced at lg if it is bricked ...the procedure to update to official version remains the same no simple way out yet....if you have official russian 2.3.3 why will you need the indian version...i dunno abt service center ppl doing it for you...but you can do it yourself...

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.

Hi, i don't know if this is the correct place to ask, but i have this user who claimed to (might be the first in the world as i speak) have enabled X10 multitouch without rooting his device.
As i try to reason with him that he is wrong and might be getting the wrong information, he speaks even bolder and louder (even to a point of doubting the wonderful guys here at XDA of their hardwork?)
He was trying to sell his used X10 on a local forum.
The link is here:
forum.lowyat.net/topic/1731902
Below are quoted from him
Most important things that i never HACK or ROOT my X10i for this multitouch input ( Believe me i have my own legal way that not break the law )

Sure it dont make sense for you because you think only XDA Developers can do it only not even Sony Ericsson Company can do it with out rooting and flashing the phone but do you use your big brains to think Sony Ericsson Updates over their own Firmwares and Please Open Your Big 2 Balls of eyes Japan Have its own multitouch update by Sony Ericsson so is that proving it root or flashing the phone ?
So think before you say anything in Lowyat Forum Sony Ericsson have its own people to make those updates , XDA Developers is based in roothing and flashing phone and i have my own way to do it. Anything possible to happen in this earth only you are the one who dont understand and keep saying XDA Developers can do it with rooting and flashing the phone.
My last word is if you so believe on XDA Developers why don`t you do their follower dont believe in other people only believe in XDA Developers. Example there was a people coming to tell you there is a fire on top of your hse and you dont believe and sitting there stupidly waiting for those so called XDA Developers come to save your life.

So can anyone confirm what he said is true/false?
because i also own a X10 and i have yet to root mine to get multitouch.
Thanks for reading.
you gave him a good answer hahaha house on fire haha... on my side.. I BELIVE IN XDA and i appriciate all the peoples hard work for all the rooting and other things..
that boy is just trying to sell his phone for i good price.. maybe it is true but i dont belive it until i see it.. i think he is just kidding whit people on that forum.. i would always first follow the guides on xda to root and dual touch reather then ask him for his method haha LOL root your phone and have fun

Hi,
Didn`t had the patience to read all your post but this is THE FACT
You CAN flash Dualtouch without root.
Q: Can i gent DT work?
A: Yes
Q: Does it work on every apps?
A: No. For that you must be rooted.
Using THIS tool and follow THIS guide.
Now some info.
When you use the flashtool you`re using the same file format that SE uses (dispite it has been renamed to *.ftf files to work with this tool) so, after flash you won`t get rooted.
When you flash the dualtouch.ftf file you are in fact flashing your kernel without affcting anything else ´cause this kernel file was "taken" from an original SE release in Japan.
So you can say to your "friend" that he`s right and you are wrong and if you had any dough try it.
You only have root acces IF and ONLY IF your press "Root" button on that tool.
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.

If you have to ask, then it's probably not worth it for you.

Bottom line: more control. Both helpful if you need it, and very dangerous. It allows you to change system level stuff, which lets you change icons/themes/system apps/etc. (which, if you don't know what you're doing, will make it very easy for you to break things on your phone - resulting in problems, bootloops, even bricks)
EDIT to add: maybe you should just read this and this.
Also it let's you remove bloteware like stock apps that you don't need but like Ctomgee said it is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing

If you never used a custom rom, then rooting is not for you. The best thing rooting does is gives you the control of the phones. In simple words, it a thing for advanced users only.
I never rooted until a week ago and now I'm rooted running AEON all themed and nice lol.

I was thinking like that but now I have stock but rooted and the benefits are :
- You can backup all ur data
- I used a mod to change the status bar icons(check my signature), but u can find mods for everything
- you can install a custom rom
now its better that I have everything backed up . Good luck in making your choice .
Rooting is like hacking it gives u super user permissions like all admin rights,u can take control of each part of ur phone,,cause there r apps tht allow u do tht wen ur rooted...its like a coin with 2 side god and bad...if u don kno wat ur doing afta rooting u can brick or make it useless or it may bcome problamatik.i rooted only for backup and some apps thts all not for ov,oc,tweaks.....

Today i`ve got a new galaxy s2 , white one now heh , after hardbricking the last one , one week ago...aaand ofc i cant help myself but to try and root it again. Now , i have found this site http://www.unlockroot.com/unlockroot.html and downloaded that program and everything .. the question is , is this safe to use ? No hardbrick on it ? What do you guys think ?
Ooor can someone show me a 100% safe way to do it ? I dont wanna kill another phone lol and now im kinda scared to just try anything i find D:
There are hundreds of threads about rooting your phone on xda, so why are you posting about using another method on a different site.
Maybe you could send a PM to theathiest and ask him to flash that on his phone to find out if it works/is safe. ........LOL
Maybe because i have ****ed up an sg2 before trying to install something from this site and now i want it to be 100% safe ? Anywayz , apparently im on the 4.0.3 version and that seems to be hardbrick free right ? If thats the case , that means i can root the phone using any method ?

Don't repeat your mistakes again - learn to understand what you're doing before doing anything risky on you new phone. No one can prevent you from bricking it, only you can, by knowing what you're doing.

Just use a "safe" Kernel and everthings okay. But check if the Kernel is the right one for your Firmware Version...
Aight , thanks for the feedback guys , i`ll think about rooting it again , keeping in mind that the official 4.1.2 its gonna come soon and it will pawn , so i guess i wont need root and a custom rom ... maybe only for deleting those god damn stock apps.
