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.

If u actually want to restore the downloaded apps, contacts etc you need to backup lol
Once u flash the rom. It will be like a factory reset rom. Clean and fresh.

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.

y r u so rude with me didnt u read my first post i clearly said i dont know anything m experimenting for 1st time n as senior u shud hve helped me but u behaved so rudely.
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.

I try to install new version of CWM and thats the last. After install i have only my eyes for crying. I cant turn on the phone and i dont know why. When i use charger phone sleep no answer i try to push power button maybe milion times but not happend. When i connect phone to PC no answer nothing pls help me.
THX
a question, from where did u install it?
There is no new version for galaxy ace. There's only one dysfunctional cwm3 and one functional 4.0.0.9
So you probably flashed a recovery meant for other phones. It's hard bricked now.
crash
ok i dont remind was hard night and i was totaly drunk dont know from where i download that. just simple answer what now is my phone still repairable??
i ask that because if u download from here on dev subforum or from koush site, u shouldnt be bricked. but if u download from rom manager or from any other untrusted source, ur device is hard bricked. yes its still repairable, but only by samsung service center.

Lesson: Never flash when drunk and don't use ROM Manager .
The only solution is to bring it to a repair centre

i have a question for you guys what i have not
do for to get a cell phone brick ?
i have read many threads and the only way for to get it is by using application rom manager thats right or i can get a brick cell phone in odin software.
what if by a mistake set files in a wrong order in odin software
galaxy ace cf gingerreal v1.0 kph
thanks in advance
WHY would you put the wrong files in ODIN, just read the tutorial and follow it correctly?
And to kinda answer the question, what've read is that ODIN will not brick you phone, you might be able to get a bootloop though (just reflash and it should work fine).
Read the newbie guide(sticky thread) about Rom manager, it should be supported now but be cautious, better to use CWM app instead, or just reboot your phone to CWM (dont be lazy).
People brick their phone when unlocking their phone, there should be a proper solution that works without having to brick you phone.

Well, just follow the exact instructions the developers give when you flash something And always make a Nandroid back up first.
Furthermore: check for which phone models the roms etc. are (I9100 or anything else you have), to avoid flashing something bad.
If you're afraid for the eMMC brickbug: read the threads that are made for it for info about that.
Sent from the Matrix
The emmc brick bug only happens on stock kernel when wipe data is selected just flash any other kernel before doing anything else and then your safe. Don't flash a ROM for any other phone including the i9100G double check before flash the file name is usually .............i9100
Honestly ? Don't flash anything in the first place. Leave your phone stock & enjoy using it.
If the thought of breaking it frightens you, leave it alone.
Nandriod backup can't save you from hard brick. RTFM (or thread) is the only safe path if you can't stop the hacking itch, and don't be a hero to be the first one to try something new like leaked ROM. Good luck.

Well, then use the other advices that are given to you
But there's always a risk, so in fact it's a matter of minimizing them. If you want be totally risk free, then you indeed have to leave it stock.

I have rooted my phone with fake recovery, i want to install a speedmod kernel. I have stock recovery. Is it needed to install manually cwm first?? @Hardcore is writing that cwm is included, but im not sure that its written into this kernel or i need to download the cwm too, but where? There is no link in the topic So all i need to flash the kernel through the stock recovery and i'll got cwm and speedmod and done or download cwm from somewhere first and flash kernel through the cwm?

Anyone can help me?
ok done, help not needed
Exist any way to check if my device was flashed with any type of ROM (custom or stock)? I know that some Samsung devices has a flash count.
Or any Sony device has this function?
That is known as binary counter in Samsung ( I guess so )
I havent heard anything regarding this in sony
Why do u need one
I have flashed it more than 50 times I guess ( even more)

This.
Phone was working when you handed it to him. No need to entertain these requests. He could have flashed it, dropped it, slept with it etc etc.
Heck, it might not even be your phone.
