My screen on my s4 busted. I used my dad's update to get a note 3 cause he wouldn't use his update (likes his flip dumb phone). My question is even though my s4 is not hooked up can I still use my warranty to get it fixed?

Submit either the Asurion Claim or Warranty now.
If you wait too long they will assume that the phone is no longer an active part of the account.
Right now you can claim you are using a loaner until the other is fixed.
Thanks, if I knew someone in my area that likes to root and rom there phone I would get it fixed locally and sell it to them cause is still on mdk but since I don't and don't want to sell it online I'll just warranty it and sell it brand new and get more money for it.

Also would like to know how to check if I tripped knox or anything like that but when I go into download mode there is nothing there about knox. Is it cause I'm on mdk with everything still unlocked and will show when i odin back to mdk or did knox come after mdk? I guess the worst that could happen is they send my phone back to me but just wanted some more insight on it.

MDK doesn't have the Knox Warranty Void flag.
Wow! You responded quick! Thanks! That's what I figured. I may try to send it back with mdk still on it so maybe a fellow rooter will stumble upon it as a refurbish. LOL!

What is the deal with the flash counter? Why would I not want to increase it? Are there any negative effects?

It shows you have voided your warranty through root or custom software.

I do not worry about flash counter, i have 2 Samsung phones replaced with 20 or more on each phone. Cell provider did not look at them at all

I have had rooted with custom ROM phones replaced when I bricked them. Do these counters change the game? Has anyone with a note with a non zero counter had theirs replaced via warranty?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
I'm sorry to bump but has anyone else had any experience with this?
I just sent my phone back to have a stuck pixel repaired and I forgot to reset the flash counter. I only flashed it once.
I'm hella-nervous.
You guys need to search more.
[Reset Flash Counter Thread]
I'm not sure who deal with the returns, whether its Samsung directly or just ATT. I would presume its ATT since you can go to once of their warehouses directly to do any warranty exchanges. Prevents you from waiting upwards of a week for an exchange thru mail.
I've swapped out my Atrix 4G twice, both times with root AND bootloader unlocked. Both phones actually displayed the word "unlocked" on the main boot screen and there was no way to rid the text off the screen. Obviously...that voids your warranty. However it never affected any of my swaps.
So in short, I'm not sure if anyone has had their exchanges denied, but I'd like to know. This is my first Samsung device.

I just sent my phone to Samsung with an upped flash counter. They got it today. I will know by the end of the week if they will repair it.
Fingers crossed.
Ok,
I took my phone back to complete stock last night using odin, this morning I wanted to update the phone so my kiddo could get the new market, after downloading kies and running the update the phone will not turn on at all. it does not show when I connect a charger and I cant get it to go into download mode. Any suggestions or is this phone now done?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737
I Tried this and it didn't work. I really believe my phone is completely dead!
So there is no sign of life at all? No leds or any backlight behind the screen? If not, then you are hardbricked. Kies is notorious for hardbricking phones.
You can call your carrier or Samsung and tell them your phone was bricked using THEIR software and see where that goes.
Sorry for your loss.
Nothing at all idk what they will say since I've had the phone since brand new

I had the exact problem you did. Tmobile sent me a replacement, and now I have a phone with no scratches or dings! :victory:
Well I've had mine since the day it came out, it it's out of warranty so t-mobile won't cover it, Samsung was not going to cover it at first but after it was said and done they decided to cover it since it was there software that bricked my phone
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
This happened to me awhile back! I called T-Mobile, but as I was out of warranty, no phone could be sent! Wish I would've seen this thread before I tossed it...
Well I have heard two different stories and its time I had the answer to which is real. The main thing I hear is that rooting automatically voids your warranty. The other thing I found out late last night in a chat with a Samsung support rep in the live chat and found out that they will repair the phone if the cause of the problem is not the root. If it is the cause , money will be charged. I really want to root and keep warranty so which one is real?

I tripped it and don't care that I did, but if a way came out to reset it I'd use it just because... If it never does oh well. I'm not going to own a phone I can't use.
I did, don't really care about it, i wish CM11 would hurry and come out. It looks so gorgeous on other phones.
I know it takes time though
Rooted but not tripped. I'm so happy with this phone stock rooted, I don't feel any need to trip it - not that I'm anal about tripping Knox, I just don't feel the need.

You can do the battery percentage in the stock TW launcher. It's buried int he settings...
You can also do some neat stuff like that using wanam in the stock rom too. I haven't seen anything worth flashing yet.

It's great to see more and more people chime in to this thread to vote.
mine is tripped
Yeah mine is tripped and don't care. Who uses the manufacture warranty for anything anyways.
I couldn't tell you how many phones I have owned this year. I almost never make it a whole year with a phone. I'm constantly changing.
And 95% of my problems when I have had problems weren't software related they were accidental DROP Problems lol so manafacture warranty wouldn't help me anyways.
I guess some people try and beat the system which i deem pointless. But then every now and again there are legit reasons you may need to use the warranty. I waited exactly 30 days so i was out of store return policy then I rooted it. I buy my phones off contract so I dont have to worry about contractual problems.

I was reading in the forum about a company out of Texas that can take your phone back to stock with unlocked bootloader. I even emailed them for answers to a couple of questions that I had and they answered me back with what I needed. I am now ready to send my phone out to be fixed. Now I lost the email and for the life of me can not find that post again. If anybody knows where this imformation is, please post it here for me or give me the link.

Because they will go back to 4.1.1 which is an unlocked bootloader...THEN you can install ANY compatible rom without using safestrap

Because if you took the 4.3 or higher Ota or have a phone pre-installed with it, then you can't revert back to an older version of Android where the bootloader can be unlocked. This service is supposed to be able to do that with the hardware they have.

Seems kind of crazy that if you ARE on a forum like this AND own this phone you don't know this...it is ALL over the forum about Knox & 4.3. I heard the "other" phone is on sale if you decide to get one!
Well I have my phone back and as advertised, they took my phone back to 4.1.2 with the VRAMC3 bootloader which is as we all know, unlocked. I'll tell you that it was worth every penny. And it wasn't the "lazy way out". It was the only way out. There is no way to unlock the updated bootloader, which you would know by reading the threads for this phone. And by the way, here, or XDA forums, is where I found the information to even do this. I have my unlocked phone back and am happily flashing again.

I'm surprised to see that someone else had a good experience with this company. So far dealing with this company has been a huge disappointment; not the impression I was under, considering all of the good reviews. I guess "service" just like products are like everything else...sometimes you get a lemon. I'm about to dispute the charge based on suspected fraud.

I can vouch for Josh. He does get busy. Just think about all the phone he gets sent. I will tell you that he is good for his work, will be fair, and if you have an issue, he will work something out with you (this is from my personal experience) He had my phone for over a month. But apologized for it and did not charge me the fee. (not saying he will do this for you) But I know it's hard but be patient and he will get back to you.
