I have seen a cutom rom by "AKA" in android development thread and i am very tempted to try it out on my mobile but the only thing that is setting me back is the warranty issue.
If i will root/unlock my htc desire v, will htc never entertain any hardware or software related warranty?
Regards
Any one guys?

Yes, it will void your warranty, but in case you need the warranty back, you can unroot and return to stock ROM.
This is true answer unroot - relock bootloader to locked & service guy never no you ever rooted & warranty is back

title says pretty much everything..
1. if im unlocking using the Pudding method.. will it really void the warranty on the device? anyone tried using warranty after unlocking? hardbricks guys.. whats your experience?
2. does the new 4.5.91 update from at&t comes with an unlock option in the bootloader menu?
thanks.
2. No the update does not. They removed the unlocked option.
As for 1, there is a warning that you may void your guarantee..

Key word being "May". They would have to prove that your modification damaged the device and not a faulty component. Such as when you buy a car and decide to put an aftermarket oil filter/air filter on it and then your horn quits working. They would still have to warranty your horn as the filters had nothing to do with the faulty horn.
So, if we have completed official 4.5.91 ota, what do we use to free up our atrix
What are the steps to unlock bootloader after one completes the new ota update 4.5.91 ?
And how to root after this latest update? Lots of messages about bricking so I would like to be sure of the correct method to use?

I have the opportunity to buy Xperia S, but from Orange PL so without the possibility of an official unlock bootloader.
From what I see at the moment, in my case there is no method to root, there more so flash custom kernels.
I love root, O/C, roms etc.
What to do?
Take Sony and pray that someone will break the protection (I accept paid method) or take a HTC with 100% possibility S-OFF?

If you get an HTC from the same carrier, it'll likely be locked too. So make sure to check it first. Also Orange is quite fine with unlocked phones so your best bet will probably be getting an unlocked device and flashing away.

I have motorola atrix 4g (Android Version 2.3.6, Baseband Version - M_01.77.37P, Build Version - 4.5.141).
The phone is still ATT locked and unrooted. It still has manufacture warranty.
If I sim-unlock my phone, am I voiding manufacture warranty?
Do I need to root the phone for sim-unlock?

You can easily buy an unlock code off some website (I brought mine from a dealer in eBay)
You never void your warranty by network unlock.
Good luck !

What do you get from rooting your htc? Will it slow down your device if you just choose to root it but not install any custom rom on it? And is it possible to unroot and what happens if i fail to root?
EDIT: If im in Singapore (Asia) , do i download the WWE ASIA RUU ? is that correct? for unrooting
Research
There are already tons of pages dedicated to this question. Just search on google and you will find your answer.

As mentioned, I'm sure there are pages on the internet more qualified than I am at explaining it, but from an average person's perspective, rooting should not be slowing down your phone at all.
In fact, rooting allows you to access the system level files, which allows you to delete some default apps and programs that could actually be slowing down your phone.
Some apps can reach further in your phone with root access, which allows you to get more customization and functionality out of your phone.
I'm not very experienced in this, but I believe unrooting your phone involves re-wiping it, but I'm not sure. Don't quote me on this one.
Depending on the severity of your mistake during the rooting process, you can either brick your phone (the worst option, and rather unlikely if you follow directions carefully) or nothing will happen and your phone is still un-rooted.
That's the best I have.
Unrooting will wipe your device because you have to relock the bootloader and run the RUU which will update your phone and return it to stock.
Rooting should give you benefits if you flash a custom ROM and kernal.

There is no need to relock BL and flash and RUU to unroot.
Just delete superuser.apk/SuperSU.apk from /system/app/ and SU from /system/xbin/ and your unrooted.

now issue is how to go back to stock rom and stock hboot and s-on
Device-Htc desire a8181
RUU.... I don't think there is a way to back s-on... I know multiple people if you send your phone for warranty repair and your s-off they will still do the warranty... But use the RUU off the HTC website.... http://www.htcdev.com/process/legal_download/152.
What are you doing anyways? Why do you need everything back complete stock? Warranty?
