Hi there,
I live in Canada.
How can I temporary root Moto E 2 (XT1527) to disable Google Services permanently and remove the root not to void manufacturer's warranty?
If it is impossible without voiding the warranty I wonder if there are other ways to permanently disable Google Services without rooting the device?

If I Rooted my Phone (Alcatel One Touch Pop C5) the warranty will be voided But if i permanently unRoot or Temporarily unroot my phone again because something happened to it and i want to use the warranty (and if i haven't use custom roms or modified my Phone) will the Warranty be unvoided or it will still be voided ?
Some people say that relocking bootloader can be recognised by LG service:

What is your experience with repairing phone after relocking bootloader? Your answers can help to people to take a decision about unlocking bootloader. Thanks.
I'm also interested in the subject.
It depends on what is broken due to your fault or not. See http://www.howtogeek.com/240417/does-rooting-or-unlocking-void-your-android-phones-warranty/
TLDR: If you break your phone du to overclocking, which was achieved with unlocking your device && rooting it, you're out of luck. If you get random reboots, which is a software thing it could get tricky and the warrenty may not be there for you then.
But for everything else hardware related it's not the roms fault. The company will fix it anyway. I sent devices in from HTC, LG and Samsung which were all rooted and unlocked. No problems so far. I live in Germany, just sayin

When i went with my previous phone (samsung S5+) in a Samsung Repairs they told me warranty is not void as long as phone is not rooted or bootloader unlocked (knox 0x1). Now if the motherboard is faulty and is to be replaced then they won't find out about root and knox fuse but if they replace other components and boot the phone and find the knox fuse 0x1... warranty is void. That is my understanding.
In the case of LG G5 one has to unlock the bootloader via LG de site and then that device will show up in their "unlocked devices" list with some sort of identification (of the device and user). If one sends his/her G5 to service it would be interesting to find out if LG actualy checks to see if that device has been unlocked or not.
I live in Romania and in my experience when warranty is involved the people at the repair centers do search if phone are rooted and bootloader unlocked and cancel warranty.
Getting unlock.bin doesn't mean that you used it.

Knox is a samsung thing just to be clear http://omegadroid.co/wanted-knox-void-warranty-0x1/
Huawei was ending it's bootloader program, so I unlocked bootloader in my Huawei Mate 10 Pro - just in case, for the future.
I only unlocked bootloader, and that's all.
But now I want to use Google Pay, and I can't, and I think it's because of unlocked bootloader - Google Play says this device is not certyfied and when I tried SafetyNet Test - it failed.
Can I do anything about it? Huawei support(HiCare) says it's because of unlocked bootloader and I lost my warranty because of it, and they do not help with such cases.
You can use magisk and magisk hide props to change your device id so it can pass safety net check. You'll have root and still be able to use Google pay.
same issue here, i hate huawei now since they made me to use their launcher. im gonna drop them.
If i send my phone to tmobile for the screen to be replace do you think they will try to unroot my phone and apply patch stopping me from gaining root again
There is no patch (yet) to prevent you from unlocking bootloader again and rooting.
Hey Guys,
I wanted top unlock my bootloader but I saw that you will lose the possibity top find your devices eben you lose it somewhere.
Is there some workaround for this?
I really want to use this feature.
I do use find my device while rooted. All you have to do is to setup magisk hiding google services.
