I bought it about 3 weeks ago, and everything has been working fine on it.
However, since root voids the warranty, I'm worried if something goes wrong hardware wise after the sucessful root.
So what could break down on it?
Rooting will not break your phone, unlocking the bootloader on the Nexus S is easy. And it you need to have it serviced/repaired, just unroot. Warranty unvoided.
The only way you'll break your phone is by not reading and researching what you're doing. Before modifying or flashing anything, always make a backup and know what you're doing (and why). Read thoroughly, and if there's something in the directions that you don't understand, research until you do.
It's highly unlikely that you'll experience hardware failure and not be able to unroot before taking it in.
On the other hand, don't root just because. Know why you're doing it and what you hope to achieve. Rooting because it seems like the "cool" thing to do is dumb. I'm not suggesting that you're doing that, just making a statement.

Here we go again (sorry ). Nothing can go wrong... if you follow all instructions carefully and correctly. Also not purposefully or foolishly flashing or installing something which you are not supposed to. Rooting... or Android in general is not for the weak hearted. Android was made to be customized and maxed out in performance (at least to me ). If you are going to use it, make good use of it. If you are still worried, just settle with how your device is or be brave and take control of your device.
Nexus s, unbrickable phone... what are you worrying on?

Thanks, I might root it then... Not sure if I will though, since I don't know what to expect after rooting in terms of what I'll be able to do.

Hi to all!
I need some help for a urgent problem!!!!!
I bought 2 weeks ago a new xperia neo in a big chain store. I haven't rooted it, flashed,.. I haven't done nothing like this.
In this days I have tried to do the update at the firmware 0.62 but SEUS and Pc Companion says that I have a modified software and I can't update.
So I think they have sold me an used phone.
With the *#*#7378423#*#* code I have seen that it's write:
Rooting status:
Bootloader unlocked: Yes
So, i have understand that the bootloader is unlooked and the phone is surely used, it's right??
How can I demonstrate that the modifying has done before the date I have bought it?
There is a date of the flashing saved or an other way to demonstrate that the phone is used and it was modified before I bought it???
Please help me because I don't know what to do!!
Thanks.

do nothing and thank them they saved you hours of stress
thats great news why complain but if it breaks then your nacked because of warenty void
wasnt the box sealed? does the phone look new? (no scratched, finger prints etc.).
are you sure it says "Bootloader unlocked: Yes"? or is it "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes"?
if it is the second, it only means the phone was not locked by an operator. mine has the same message and no problems updating with pc companion (went from .42 to .58).
if you want to know if it is rooted, try using an application from market that requires root (droid wall, proxy droid, root explorer etc.)

Well I'd not have paid for this phone, it's obviously used. Would you buy milk that some hairy fat guy opened, took a sip of and then sealed the package? Would you buy a phone for full price that some guy used and did who knows what? You'd really pay for used phone as much as for new phone? You'd really cheer for being cheated?
So for OP, you asked a fair question. The answer is, this phone is used and you're being robbed of your money, unless you paid noticeably less than for new Xperia neo. So do what you will, your money, your responsibility.
I would rather contact Sony Ericsson first and then the shop you got the phone from.
the seal would have to be on the box. you cant open the box until you cut the seal. mine was opened in front of me and the seller had some trouble cutting the seal.
i would guess somebody messed with its software (the company that imported it), but not used the phone per se. some smaller companies import locked phones and unlock them then sell as "unlocked" phone (usually at lower price than official retailers). they replace the original SE seal with their own seal.
if you payed less than usual price, i would say mess with the software yourself and make it suit your needs/wishes.
I'd not be so trusting, this phone could have been in use for a week. I've noticed some reseller shop employees having that mentality "I'll just use it for a week, as long as no one notices I am fine."
It could even be a developer phone, which you get for almost free.
How do you make the difference what is what with such a phone? What if sometime later you need to take it for guarantee repairs and Sony tells you "you messed the phone up, now you got to pay for services"
This "shut up and hope you're lucky" is just silly. It's cheating by a company, isn't that awful already?
Breaking a guarantee provided by company is your choice. It's your phone, your money. This guy didn't have a liberty to even make that choice. So...
Yes, I've paid like for a new one, for this I feel cheated.
So I don't know what to do, sure I'll go to talk with the vendor (that is a big chain, and for this I thought I could trust, but evidently I was wrong)
But at the moment I have no proof if they tell me that I flashed it...
For this I'm looking for everything that can proof that the flash was before the sold date.
Anyone know if it's possible explore the files on the phone memory to see the creation date??
Or other things like this?
and thanks to everyone for the help!!
P.S.: I've looked also for the deleted files on SD but unfortunely it seems new (or formatted very well)

install this and try to see the proprieties of system folders, to see system files you need root, but if you want to go talk to them don't root it before.

Thanks for the great idea!!
I've tried with this but it doesn't shows the internal memory, only shows the SD memory,but I have also tried with "File Expert" and it shows me all the internal memory and there is the date of some files:
- some files are dated 01/jan/1970 "I think the ones of the xperia factory installation"
- some are dated with the date of today
- but there are also some files modified in september / october
now I hope the final question I have to ask you...
Which are the files/directory that you can modifying only flashing/rooting, and not in the normal use??
so they can't say me that they have only opened the phone but is a proof they have modyfied it!!!
If its really a big chain as you say, I doubt they will challenge you on it. People saying "It was like that when I got it" is something I doubt they hear a lot from people who just bought the phone, wanting it exchanged.
People who make warranty claims in such situations, I'm sure they've heard it plenty.
Basically the more time you wait, the more suspicious it will seem. Think about the scenario:
1. Someone buys a new phone.
2. Goes home, discovers its likely been used before.
3. Next days returns it, showing the bootloader was already unlocked.
The alternative explanation for the shop, is that you unlocked it yourself in the first day, and then immediately got cold feet about unlocking the BL and returned it. They are unlikely to push such an unlikely alternate theory.
I know it might not have been just a day, but you see my point: the shorter the time, the less likely you are to be challenged. A reputable shop in this situation will not doubt you (not likely, at the very least).
If they don't accept your story, say you'll to escalate it to a local authority or by contacting SE (e.g. if employees use the phones, the managers will know about this, and would fear it becoming public in an investigation by someone else; if it was unlocked by someone else, they risk exposing less-than-ideal distribution channels).
Also, ignore those who are saying you should be happy with an unlocked BL. The official BL unlock is so simple (which is what it is if SE rejected the device), you would never need someone to do it for you. If you wanted a secondhand preunlocked device, you should pay secondhand price.
Well if it was me I would be happy but where im from this just would not happen "i hope this is the case"anyway but like he said iff you don't return on day one more fool you moral of the story just flash what you want and move on

I have talk with the shop and I returned the phone to the Sony reparation center and if they found I haven't modified the phone, the shop said will give me a new phone...
P.S.: I know the Unlock of bootloader is a good thing but maybe the phone was used in wrong ways and damaged in something! I don't know, and sure I haven't the guarantee.
So, if I want isn't too difficult unlock it, but before I have the full guarantee and I'm sure no one has used it.
if I wanted to buy a used phone at least I could save some money!!

I think the question was about rooting, not bootloader unlock.
Gesendet von meinem LT26i
As long as your bootloader is locked then its fine as you will still have your DRM Keys.
I've rooted my Xperia S and sent it off to Sony to get it fixed (Yellow Tint and them not putting the new screen in properly) and they have fixed it both times. I would recommend completely wiping the phone to remove traces as they say it COULD void your warranty. They said the same thing about unlocking your bootloader but we know how that turned out.
So basically don't unlock your bootloader and you will keep your warranty.

Wrong, Google this, you'll find MANY people saying Sony REFUSED warranty because they KNEW they modified the software. Sony says on unlock bootloader sony.com they KNOW if you have done any of that so don't bother.
I set up a thread on this in the Arc section because as Doomlord points out, Sony did invite users to mod their phone to try the ICS beta. So it's confusing and unfair for them to now say no warranty. I contacted Sony a few days ago and asked this. It was so strange, the Sony guys closed the coversation so quickly, he said they 'can't help with that'. (Do they know they have an official website telling you how to do this? )
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
I ordered my new Sola and will have in a few days. I will NOT unlock the bootloader, destroying a new, 2 year warranty. Let us hope that there is a normal root for these devices soon.

OMG that was published today and you made the new tutorial! I kind of love you for that!
I bet I could hustle them and get them to fix it even though I have unlocked my bootloader. I have yet to be screwed out of a warranty by a company yet. Thankfully nothing is wrong with my phone though.
I even conviced ATT to give me a free Microcell device and got newegg and amazon to give me credit since I had problems with my first phones. If you know what you are doing and how to talk to people you can usually get around it.
My xperia U still have 8 months warranty. It's suddenly can't read the simcard so i send it to Sony Cares. After 1 week, they quote me SGD 300$ for this problem...wth with that money i can buy new phone alr. Before send it in i alr revert back to stock and re-lock the bootloader.
Recently sent my Xperia S in for repair (yellow tint) had the bootloader unlocked prior to sending it in. Forgot to relock it and got it back stating there was modified software and that they didn't fix it.
Got another RMA and this time relocked the bootloader and it was repaired. (Though this screen has a faint yellow tint issue as well though not as bad as the first one.)
With root just flash back yo stock and you are fine. If you unlocked the biitloader relock it and they might still fix it.

Yeah that is bunk. Try again and see what happens
Hello everyone, so im a bit confused. I have my galaxy s i9000 and i flashed thousands of rom without caring knowing its flexible to get it back again, heck i soft bricked it like 5 times . Now my question is should i risk voiding my warranty and bricking my pime for rooting/flashing a rom on it. So i want to take your opinions on is it worth it( like for the galaxy s I had to do it to remove the stupid lag) but i dont have any lag on the prime, so should i risk it all??
Stay Cool
I'd hope that you'd be able to answer that question for yourself.
If you are unable to list several shortcomings and limitations of it being stock, then why are you even thinking of risking it?
Myself, I bought a Nook Color 18 months ago with the full intention of rooting. I wasted no time in doing so. Of course those things are virtually unbrickable.
The Transformer Prime, OTOH, well... not so much. I haven't felt a pressing need to unlock and flash the ROM.
Do what you will, but unless you can quickly rattle off at least half-a-dozen limitations of its current config, it seems like it's a waste of time to fiddle with it.
So, I'm in similar situation. I had 3 android phones and all rooted, unlocked and with custom roms, but with Prime it's different, I'm more affraid of bricking it, because it's more expensive than all of these phones together.
But I'm seriously thinking about it, the main reason is now ROOT (and it can stay for half-a-dozen reasons) because I'm running JB.
And the most annoying thing now is the camera. I have green camera bug on my Prime. Does anyone know from own experience, that this can be fixed after unlocking?
And sorry for my English

Can't say from experience as I've never had a camera problem, but I've read numerous posts and the green camera is always hardware. You may be able to verify by squeezing lightly around the camera and seeing if it clears up temporarily.

I unlocked after letting my 1 year warranty expire. There aren't a ton of ROMs out there for the Prime atm, but it is worth it if you don't have a warranty to protect anyway.
The process of unlocking was painless for me. Downloaded the app, installed, it did its thing. I was on the newest JB OTA. No issues installing TWRP via fastboot.

Thats exactly my problem. For example the green camera bug (tested and it is hardware fault, only strange thing is, it started just after JB update). Let's be honest, Prime is not perfect and you can have some hardware issues, when warranty is quite useful.
@vaibha: And do you know any way how to downgrade from JB?
Just flash gingerbred or ics... Easy...

I think there is no way (functional) for downgrading from JB to ICS. Or even gingerbread... on Prime?... :laugh: (I believe you just swapped GB and HC in your memory).
Of course I may be wrong, I hope I'm wrong. So you did you successfully downgrade? And if you did, how?

Dekxster, what subsonic says is right. You cannot downgrade to anything previous to jellybean if you haven't made nvflash backups while on ICS.
Also your green camera is 100 percent a hardware issue and if you haven't unlocked yet then return it for a free fix. If you are unlocked then you will normally have to pay but some people have got away with it. It all depends in what country you are in.
I figured this out, flumpster.
That is why I wrote, you can't downgrade, because I didn't make nvflash (I didn't post the rest of quotation, because I presumed, we don't have nvflash backup, if we are discussing about unlocking, which requires that) and that is why I wrote I don't want to unlock, because now I have hardware issue and they will fix it for free. I think I'll just wait one more year, when will my warranty expire, because who knows, what else might happen.
And are you guys using Hairy Bean? Is it good? Was it worth unlocking?
Because I don't know much about this rom, prefer CM on my phones.
Its worth unlocking if you are careful and dont mind risking hardware defect. A lot of people got a squaretrade or other 3rd party warranty. You can find a deal for $70 and get 2 years full protection...and then unlock without any risk what so ever.
I recently purchased a T-Mobile LG G5. I am not too tech savvy, and since I'm a novice when it comes to rooting, I have a question I need help with.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone. Shortly after doing so, I noticed a blister in the paint of the phone's battery/charging port tray. This is the part I'm referring to. http://www.globaldirectparts.com/OEM-LG-G5-Accessory-Module-Loud-Speaker-Gold-p/lgg5hsg4gld.htm
I contacted T-Mobile, and they offered me a warranty replacement. That sounds great, but I'm bummed out. I have my phone customized exactly how I want it, screen protector and all. I can't figure out if I want to go through the hassle of unrooting my phone, relocking the bootloader, then doing the reverse to the new phone.
Anyhow, the answer to this one question will help me decide. There's always the possibility that the T-Mobile store rep will be unconvinced the blister, which has since then burst, was a manufacturer defect. It actually now looks more like a scratch. If I go ahead and relock the bootloader, but am denied the warranty replacement and have to keep my current phone, will I be able to unlock it again? Or should I save myself the hassle and shell out $70 to buy a new battery/charging port tray?
The common sense answer is to ignore the blemish and keep using my current phone. But I'm a perfectionist when it comes to these things and can't bring myself to do it.
EDIT: I'm going to leave this up rather then delete because the answer below may have valuable information for somebody else. But there was never a blister in the paint. I feel like such an idiot. The phone came with a plastic protective adhesive that was applied so well, I never realized it was on. That's what blistered.
You could relock the bootloader, and send it back. The question is rather whether they would find out, since i am not quite sure if they can see that the phone was ever rooted. If you decide to lock the bootloader again though, you can unlock it later on again, that is no problem. I would suggest unrooting it, and relocking the bootloade, if you can not ignore that blemish. I just got mine yesterday, and im debating whether i should root it again, because i am not certain that i could re lock it and recover the warranty. I only need to root it because of adaway, since there is no custom rom support yet.

as I know:
that’s right! At the first time the phone was unlocked; the id was registered as "unlocked" in the LG data pool! AND unfortunately the ID was related to the user account of first registration.
Best way will be to contact the first owner if you can.
