I want to unlock my Poco F1 bootloader and install a custom rom in it and I want to know that will it void my warranty.
I massaged to Poco India support about this and they said that unlocking the bootloader will not void my warranty but if I install any custom rom then it will void my warranty.
When applying for any warranty issues u can reflash stock and go to service centre

Just unlocking bootloader wont void warranty. anyway even if flash custom roms and root your device, u can flash stock rom and relock bootloader using mi flash tool if u need to visit service center.
Still risky but worth it
Imagine the circumstances where your phone's display is dead or maybe your battery is faulty or you're just unable to boot for some reason. Then you're just screwed. The warranty is already void because you wanted to flash that new rom which imo is already miles better than MIUI. And now you've to pay full price for the battery or display or mb, even though it's been only 3 months since you bought it. Expect zero to minimum support from the companies when it comes to any type of flashing or customizing. Hence, every rom has this BIG disclaimer that it may or will void warranty and they can't do anything about it.
When it comes to flashing roms and kernels, you're completely responsible for everything you do. For me and afaik, most of the xda community don't really care about the warranty but for the minority of people who actually do, be ready to take that risk if you want that sweet Pixel like experience on your Poco F1.

Please cultivate the habit of searching the forum before asking clarifications or creating a new thread. Read HERE
I would rely on the email rather than on the Chat. Also this is not the only time Xiaomi confirmed this position.

i dont think u need root for flash kernels. if u want to unroot just open magisk manager and hit uninstall from there or download magisk uninstaller zip then flash it through twrp

Hello Guys,
I'm planning to buy a Redmi Note 3. But I'm not a fan of MIUI 7. I know the warranty will be void if I rooted the device / flashed a custom recovery / custom rom.
If I flashed the Stock rom & recovery again, would I be able to claim the warranty ?
Thanks,
- yM
I think yes. Nut in order to unlock it you must apply in a form with your e mail, plus to unlock it you must have the same acc in the unlocker and the phone...

As per my knowledge your warranty is not void for xiaomi devices if you install custom ROM or rooted it.

I said about just rooting and installing of custom ROM not about over clocking and all....[emoji6]
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Well to request warranty to fix somethings means that something is wrong with the device like a fried motherboard, a not working Bluetooth chip and other small things inside the phone..... Rooting it and changing the rom enables you to tinker around and maybe fry the phone. So if your phone is broken and they see that you have rooted it they will make the assumption that you destroyed it in a way and decline to fix it. Further more if you want to change rom or root it you need to unlock the bootloader which means that they already know that you tried to do something after purchasing the phone. ?
Biluris out ?
Hi guys, quick question here.
I have bought a Redmi Note 4 , 32gb/3gb Snapdragon one.
I have these questions.
How is warranty affected after rooting our device ?
How is warranty affected by uunlocking the bootloader ?
What features won't work after unlocking the bootloader ?
What to keep in mind, to avoid problms in future , would xiaomi service centres be of any help ?
Thank you. Please answer separately for each question.
Xiaomi just like onePlus supports rooting....
So don't worry...
You can always get back your warranty by Just flashing the global stable ROM...
Also all the features will work after unlocking bootloader...
Do remember that it's you who is willing to make the changes and I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong...
Avoid rooting if you don't have adequate knowledge...

1) You void your warranty on rooting your device
2) Unlocking the bootloader itself doesn't void your warranty.. but the Mi Unlock tool clearly states whatever happens after the bootloader unlock (custom ROM install and stuff) is your responsibility.. so if something happens during those processes, the warranty is void..
3) according to xiaomi, things like Encryption and find my device won't properly work..
4) flash original fastboot rom and relock the bootloader if you want to take the thing to service center.. the only situation where your warranty truly is void is if you manage to brick it beyond repair, which is almost impossible to do.. (you can make a xiaomi deep flash cable (google it) to fix the device even when you can't directly boot into fastboot mode)
P.S. - i haven't done the deep flash stuff.. just posting what I learnt on the internet
---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------
As long as the technicians get the phone running unrooted stock MIUI, they won't complain..
PS - again this is according to the internet.. i have not tested this..

Nothing to worry, just do eet!
I remember the case when i bricked my galaxy S1 back in those years 2 times and I took it to the service center in india which was almost a kilometre from my house and i told the guy that it got bricked when i was charging it.. He replaced the motherboard and gave me both the times.. And told me that I probably had a loose connection at home ?.. I told him I'll get it fixed.. Thats the only device i ever bricked and that too because it was the first device i was trying to mod.. Its really tough to brick the newer devices.. But i dont know if the trick i used still works with the service centres today..
Before this i only experience root phone that has no warranty. Now with this info, it make sense. When restore the stock ROM everything goes back to normal on my old Samsung device. That mean the device is fully restore as original which mean restore the warranty as well. Thanks Guys, just got my redmi note 4 SD and will install Resurrection Remix right away.

Hi ak_baik
Hello.
I am from KL too and going to get one Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (SD) soon. Can you share your success on step by step ......
1. How to unlock the bootloader?
2. How to root it?
3. How to install the TWRP and also the back up too?
4. Do you need to flash the latest Firmware (Upgrade your Miui 9) before doing the RR 5.8.5 10/25 stable version?
Currently, I have installed RR on my both Galaxy S2 GT-9100 and Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) >>> Beautifully thumb Up!

Welcome to Xiaomi Family..
You can just browsing in Redmi Note 4 xda section for the tutorial.
1. Unlock bootloader (the most annoying part)
2. Install Twrp via fastboot
3. Flash Rom & Magisk or anything you prefer.
4. Done, that's it...
For miui i do not backup anything since brand new n nothing to backup and dont worry about warranty. You can restore back to original version by flashing stock rom from xiaomi then you can claim for warranty with no issue, i have done it before.

By which method should we root

Please suggest me ROM that is bugless?? Or atleast with least bugs that won't create any problem to my daily usage.
Process to unlock bootloader? Will it void my warranty or rooting does void warranty?
It's my first MI phone. So I can't understand bootloader process.
Since I am on stock. Just would you suggest me to be in stock? Or use custom ROM??. Already have used all custom roms in my previous device (less specs) but there was no fun. Still ported "android one" is in progress??
Sorry for too many questions. I am just confused watching these forums since two weeks unable to decide.

Unlocking your phone willnot void warranty but if u root or flash custom ROM , your warranty is now void .You can always get back to global version by miflashtool .
I suggest you to be on stock because other custom ROM are so buggy like volte video call do not work , camera force close . Xiaomi is developer freindly so it's stock has everything u need .

Hi all!
I'm going to have my new pocophone f1 soon. I have got some questions about the warranty. I've seen many answers for yes and many answers for no. I'm noob. Please let me know:
1. If I unlcock bootloader, my varranty is void?
If no- question 2.
2. If I flash any custom recovery (TWRP for example), my varranty is void?
If no-question 3.
3. If I flash custom Rom (and) get root access, my varranty is void of course. BUT, If I restore everything to stock(I mean system and full unroot), my varranty is still void?
Thank you so much for answers.
PS. Sorry for English
No void warranty opening the bootloader. The said in the conference of the poco in india. The give all the sources and kernel to the developers to make custom rom without problem.

In none of the above scenarios, the warranty will be void. You unlock the bootloader with the approval of the manufacturer. No purpose will be served by simply unlocking the bootloader. It will lead to rooting and flashing of custom ROMs. So having given permission for unlocking the bootloader, the manufacturer can not turn around and deny warranty. Further, this device is supposed to be developer friendly unlike some others which deny warranty even when only the bootloader is unlocked.
So enjoy flashing!

We do not spread false news, the warranty with the unlocking of the bootloader is NOT invalidated, Xiaomi allows the unlocking of the bootloader while maintaining the warranty, but if you break it modding with custom kernel / rom you will have to pay to fix it.
