Although we all read the disclaimer ("Your warranty is now void [...]") everywhere, is this really true?
Suppose I unlocked my bootloader, flashed some custom ROMs, but then decided I needed my warranty - couldn't I just return to stock and relock the bootloader?
Could they still find out and how?
This is only a general question, I'm not in urgent need for help.

Hey guys I'm asking on behalf of my gf (i have htc sensation xe, so i'm not using lame excuses ) Her phone is not rooted (yet ) and I'm wondering whether is possible to unroot the atrix 4g so that it goes back to "brand new"/out of the factory status and there are no warranty problems related to the rooting.
Also: is it possible to flash a custom rom without unlocking the bootloader (so that warranty is not voided)? And does going s-off void the warranty as well?
Thanks in advance for the support!

I seem to recall that it is possible to unroot your phone (but you'll have to look around here), when you do unlock the bootload an 'unlocked' appears on the left hand screen when the rom is loading.
Anyways, see how you go with reading the above guides
There is no way to flash a custom ROM without custom recovery, which needs an unlocked BL.
S-OFF does not exist on the Atrix.
Hi,
I was wondering if rooting phone will voids it's warranty? I'm not sure as I never own and played with a Sony phone before.. Only Samsung.=/ thanks in advance!
yes
rooting
sim unlocking
bootloader unlocking
all count above count
You have to check your country's specific laws to find out. It is different in many regions.
For example - in the European Union rooting your phone does NOT void the warranty, as guaranteed by the European Comission.
Alright. Thanks guys
Does anyone know if root, unlocked Bootloader or custom rom void the warranty?
Hey guys :highfive:
Does rooting, flashing custom recovery, custom kernel, editing build prop and what not void the warranty on the Indian Version Snapdragon 650??
If it does then can unrooting and claiming the warranty possibly work??
Thank you..
Waiting for response :fingers-crossed:
Rooting does not voids warranty, flashing custom ROMs *probably* do. In any case, you can flash MIUI back and claim warranty.
I m a bit confused in unlocking my bootloader . Does unlocking bootloader voids the warranty or it remains . I want to get rid of this stock rom. Let me know if you have any idea regarding this
No. Unlocking Bootloader Would Not Void The Warranty Of Redmi Note 4.
No. it's completely safe to root and flash custom rom.
Thanx bro
