So there was a rattling sound coming out the top of my phone and without thinking trough I fastened the top three screws of the phone. I didn't take any sticker off to get to a screw or anything, I just tightened them up a little bit.
This shouldn't affect my warranty I hope?

One would think not as unless a technician could not undo the screws who is to know .

If you haven't marked the screws you should be ok, if they rumble you just explain you were trying to cure the rattle and smile sweetly!

What do you mean with marked? Like a visual scratch or something like that? I guess you can see if you look very closely that it isn't as new as it was.. but the bottom 5 screws are as new as can be so I couldn't even have opened it.
I'm just a little paranoid about keeping my warranty in tact

Course it voids your warranty....! And strictly speaking....we're not actually meant to have access to Odin! Its only because it was made available from a certain person (dunno who) that we have access to it. using Odin voids your warranty buddy end of! Check your warranty info on the leaflet that came inside the box. Read section 5 then on the opposite page under fire, improper ventilation etc....

They won't be able to tell you used odin if you're flashing an officially released rom.
It'd be different if he odin'ed a modem with a newer build number than his rom or something like that, but flashing official roms is ok.
Example, ever heard of an RUU? Those are used to flash official firmware OTW all the time.

After e-mailing, chatting and calling with Samsung I still have no answer. The only answer I could get is that the people working at the repair centre would have to see the device and then decide wether my warranty is still in tact. Even though I said I didn't open the phone etc etc.

You should contact the guy who was offering to s off via the oem jtag method. His price was very reasonable, and a quick turnaround. His thread is titled something along the lines of "S-off for the impatient"
His s off service wasn't much more expensive than the $20 you put up for bounty money.

I think he was questioning whether there were updates that would prevent him from rooting. Could be wrong.
But I completely understand wanting to be a **** at all opportunities.
My question was poorly worded. If the replacement phone comes with the locked bootloader because of the vrall4 update. Am I going to have the ability to unlock and root it?
Of course I don't like the stock phone, it's awful.

If you took the time to search there many posts of ppl sending back and getting phones with MDK, also those with new OTA, so like I said, it's a crap shoot and it's 50/50.. Cant hurt to try, though

All roms built off of mdk do this smearing, even AOSP builds. Its very noticeable in the gallery too.
I'm surprised nobody notices it other than me, its the most annoying thing to deal with, makes the gs4 screen look crappy.
