Vibration motor fix - HTC EVO 3D

I want to return my phone to sprint so they can fix my vibration motor in my phone. I know they say warranty is voided once rooted. Is there a way to hide the fact that it is rooted?

You can pretty easily unroot/return to stock. I did that recently when my 4G radio stopped working and got a free replacement in 3 days. Follow this guide, but the download for the pg86img is outdated so get the zip from here.

Or if you're not running a custom ROM, you can just download a different launcher and in the settings hide the superuser app. That's all they check for.

Check out this artice and print the included notice that directs Sprint personnel to handle a rooted phone exactly the same as a non-rooted phone with no consequence to the phone's user....

Thanks guys, I was wondering because the guy at the store said they wouldn't work on a rooted phone, but wondered if they would check the bootloader to see if it says unlocked or relocked.

If you are worried about it, just unroot and go back to a stock rom. It really only takes a few minutes to unroot, and then reroot when you get it back. That little time can save you trouble if they do fully check to see if you are rooted. I know a lot of people say their local stores don't check, but if your store does check, you would be screwed.

I've been on hboot 1.4, don't really want to upgrade to 1.5 then go through the process of downgrading. But I was just curious if there was another, simpler way. Thanks.

You don't have to upgrade to 1.5. Just flash a stock rooted rom (the latest one, not sure of the version number), then unroot. You will still be on 1.5 as long as you dont run the full RUU. Then you can re-root when you get it back.

if you flash an earlier ruu like the version that starts with 1.13, it includes hboot 1.4 and stock recovery. Then you won't have to mess with downgrading. When I returned to stock this way I was glad I did because they immediately went to recovery to reset to see if that solved my problem.

I ended up just flashing a stock rom that was rooted and just deleted the su app as suggested. They fixed it and didn't check for root in the bootloader. But I did watch as he scrolled through my app drawer, I assume looking for su. Thanks for the advice everyone. :thumbup:
