Hi Guys,
I've just bought a Galaxy S and I saw there are many fixes to improve the phone quality.
But I don't know If applying them, I'll void the warranty of my phone: so, can you please tell me which are the operations that void the warranty??
Thanks a lot and sorry for my english!!

If you flash back a old firmware and upgrade it with kies then you should still have warranty.
Its a.little grey zone.
Basicly you loose the warranty when you don't use original firmware and kies to upgrade.

but i have flashed new rom which is gingerbread 2.3.3. But is not rooted does this means my warranty is voided? I want to send it for rma to samsung will they accept gingerbread update on device? I have att tab. Do i need to flash att stock rom?
Maybe I am confused but how can you have a gingerbread Rom if you are not rooted. Wouldn't that be impossible?

they (samsung centre) had a tols to detect wheter the gtab was being rooted or not, if they found it..forget about free warranty. I found this funny experience in my place, i did flash&rooted my froyo till last week upgraded to gingerbread by samsung. Then suddenly blank, i mean totally blank wont respond in all way (not even recovery mode or kiess or charging)....they told me i got my new korean battery and also new machine free, i guess i'm lucky to have it since they not found it my gtab was being rooted before
So its good to make tab brick to get new tab.why did they mention about new korean battery? I read somewhere also they replaced someones battery and said its new korean battery. And he said maybe it was chinese battery before. Anyways did you got new tab in brand new sealed box or just the tablet?
Lancelane i am not expert in rooting and stuff maybe i rooted before but how to be sure that now my tab is rooted. Bcos when i did the gingerbread it cleans everything on the tab. So i am guessing its not rooted anymore
yes, i also heard that too about the battery, most of them tell that korean battery is more beter than the china....unfortunately, we never knew when we buy the package till we have complain/claim about the battery performance it self

it doesn't matter to be rooted to flash stock rom
To the OP : is not gonna affect on your warranty at all
ok thanks hope all go smooth
In the settings, about device, does the kernel version say "rooted"?
It is easy to return to stock if you want. Why not call the center and get a definate answer, and share with us too.

I disagree. You're now running unsupported firmware on your device. I would think that would void the warranty.
Thats why I asked Tabing to call and tell us for sure. I for one want to know the truth.
If you return your Tab to absolute stock, there shouldn't be any question about warranty.

Any 'hack' eg rooting will void your warranty.
But were not sure if the OPs Tab is rooted.

I'm running custom rom. But if I flashed stock gingerbread it will not affect cuz its official firmware. (not rooted)

when you say call the center do you mean samsung support? i already sent mine now i will let you know what happens, i flashed it to gingerbread
I wanted to know if you have to unroot and restock your tab when you send a tab in for warranty service, according to samsung, and not people's opinions.
hey guys just a quick update my rooted gb 2.3.3 came back from rma and they fix the issue and restored the tab to the stock att. As I told you b4 I sent the tab with gingerbread and root. But people who can easily go back to stock should do that to be on safe side.
Thank you,Tabing. Are you going to try Overcome Jupiter?
Let me know OC jupiter is better than stock gingerbread 2.3.3 than i will try. BTW did you overclock GTab.?
I have the at&t tab stock gingerbread JQ1, with chainfire v3.3 and Dip7 kernel, and the t-mobile tab with Jupiter rom, neither is overclocked (i don't want to cook my cpu). I like the stock better.
Hi.
We have two galaxy tabs and was upgrading to ginger bread. One of them was succsesful, but the other one dosen't start anymore.
Donno what's wrong with it?
How can I get it working again?
Thankful for any help. (Excouse my bad english.)
Regards Christian.
You can put it into download mode and flash it with odin. Google download mode galaxy tab. Then download the stock gingerbread firmware from samfirmware.com or xda download site. On youtube there are good tutorials how to flash galaxy tab firmwares. WARNING: you will VOID you WARRANTEE
Sent from my GT-I9100
Okey, thanks for a quick answer. Is there anyway of doing this and not void warrenty? Some recovery thing or something?
Well the download mode is the recovery and kies doesn't provide this as far as i know sry you could send it to samsung

But i am not sure if an official rom will void your warrantee. How did you update it?
Sent from my GT-I9100
flashing official firmware in no way would void any warranty.
You need to find the stock firmware (rom) for your Tab and then flash it via Kies or Heimdall depending on which tab you have, that should get you back up and running unless there's an actual hardware issue.
Thanks alot for your time.
There is no hardware error, this is software.
Can someone please explain in steps how to do this and where to get the firmware and roms or is there any good how-to to do this?
Official firmware is availiable on samfirmware.com registration is free. They also provide flashing tutorials. For any further problems ask me, i'll help

Thanks alot, i'll try.
I appreciate you keeping and eye on this post if i run into some heavy problem
Regards Christian.
Youre welcome

Try emergency firmware recovery in kies

Okey, I changed pit file with odin and after that it works again. I'm in keis with the device connected and in there it says this deviceversion can not be updated.
I would like to be able to update it to gingerbread in keis.
I have to devices and they are both galaxy tab 7" gt-p1000 and one of them is updates, why can't i update this one?
I get this.
PDA:JJ7 Phone:JK5 CSC:JK2 (TPH)
So you have one on gingerbread and the other one is on 2.2, right?
Did you buy them both in the same store/ county?
What is modem etc on the gingerbread one?
Sent from my GT-I9100
The one that I was able to update to gingerbread with keis is bought a few weeks before the other one. Not in the same store but in the same country (Sweden, I live here.)
I don't have the other one at home right now. so I don't know modem (by the way, what is modem?)
Thanks in advance.
Hmm modem dont really know should ask google but i'm too lazy. Maybe these two devices are a bit more different than we think... I really have no idea why kies wont let you update it, sorry. I have no galaxy tab (but maybe in some months?) but you could download the 2.3.3 from samfirmware and flash it. The only problem would be that this firmware (marked red) is unofficial. Means that you might void the warrantee.
By the way 2.3.3 is only official on italian galaxy tabs
I personally live in Austria and bought a Galaxy S2 about a week ago. I think that if it would need a repair i could easily flash it to official 2.3.3 (i am 2.3.4 unofficially) and i dont really think about warrantees.
I am not sure if you would not void the warrantee with an unofficial but not rooted os.
But if you want i can help you to get on 2.3.3. It is your choise.
Official 2.2 or
Unofficial 2.3.3

Hi iam a newbie
I have been seeing lots of thread where note users are willing to go back to GB from ICS
And also have seen threads with NOTE BRICKED with OFFICIAL ICS OTA GERMAN rom installed via kies or OTA .. And also about eMMC bug or somethkng i heard which requires the note to be send back to samsung.
I love my note on GB but ics is ics afterall thats why i want it but my question is and i apologise if it annoys anyone as i am a newbie
So if i change my region by the easiest method without any bricking risk of changing SCS TO DBT OPEN GERMAN and then upgrading to OFFICIAL ICS VIA KIES OR OTA so will all these errors, bugs and note getting bricked, eMMc bug etc etc
Are they likely to happen to me as well? ?
Or is ot only happening on those Galaxy note which have installed official ics open germany rom via odin and other risky ways. . Or only to those note who previously had rooted and were using on custom roms. .
So plz can anyone clear my confusion so i can finally decide weather or not to upgrade to ics. ..
tnx in advance
Details regarding my device : bought 3 weeks ago. Never rooted or used a custom rom and No intention of rooting or using custom rom in future.
Plz provide the advice so i can make a decision on weather or not to upgrade.

hello m8. Like u i'm also a newbie. I can tell you that i've recently bought my note, unlocked version.
Today i've rooted it twice, @ 1st using europe rom and then france rom with portuguese csc.
Rooted it teice because with the first riot in kies started to say that i couldnt upgrade it.
Then aftwr many reading i've decided to upgrade to 4.0.3. Used dr. Ketan guide in the dev section and worked fine on my phone. I've tested alnost everything and till the moment i have not encountered any bug or mal function.
But as they say in the post there are some reports of some bugs or even worst some notes that "died".
I leave here a screenshot after the update.
Cheers
Thnks for the info mate
But i really dont wish to root thats why after seeing the thread which said uograding by just changing region plua widout root thats what made me confident enuf to finally go ahead and upgrade and give it a try..
But still worries me as daily i see threads here created with someeones brick either stuck in odin or recovery etc or either bricked bc Of ics.
So i want ics the easiest way possible widout root and thats only possible by changing region using those codes and selecting DBT and then kies and OTA server treats ur note as a german made note and u can then upgrade to ics... So i wanted to know even those who have uograded this way hav they also the chance of getting these bugs and emmc errors brick etc
If yes then i will wait for a fixed update by samsung

Hi to all,i m a newbie to this forum and i dnt know how to and where put questions exactly.
So i apologize if i am asking my question at a wrong place.
Actually i am frustrated with the battery life of my note.now, i want to update it to 4.0.4.
i am from india and model is gtn-7000 and it is 4.0.3 official.
My concern and question is that i haven't rooted it yet and i have eMMc bug in my note.
Now,please tell can i update my note to official 4.0.4 firmware provided by sammobile with the help of ODIN.
I am little bit scared as my phone is eMMc bud affected,so i am afraid.
And lastly i wanna ask that if i would be succesful in updating my phone to 4.0.4,so can i downgrade it to 4.0.3 if needed in future?and what about my phone's warranty?i hope my phone's warranty wouldnt void if i update it to 4.0.4.
Thank you in advance.

I recommend clean installation for you, as you have battery issue.

Dear brother i appreciate what you have suggested me but m really a newbie and i have sgn which is very very precious for me.Battery is a issue for me but not that much.Actually, i wanna update my phone to 4.0.4 for its new offers and at the same time i don't wanna loose my warranty as if something will go wrong in phone in future, then i have to approach to service centre.so please tell me that is there any problem in flashing my phone as my phone is having eMMc bug.And i wanna update to 4.0.4 but only from official rom as sammobile is providing.....
I have suggested link is showing only official ROM, which samsung provides and that wont voids your warranty.
Just note everybody here have that emmc chip which you are talking about, if you are so affraid from it than stay on GB only. All ICS ROM available are not 100% safe as GB ROM. Still you want to update to ICS, you can but just avoid wipe and reset from stock ICS.
further to add, flashing ROM wont cause any brick, brick happens with wiping/hard restting on ICS.
Hey guys, I need some helps of you.
I need get a brick in my Galasy S for make a change whit the adicional warranty. I bought a few years ago my Galaxy with an additional warranty, this warranty says if a have some problem in my phone after 1 year I can change my phone for a new one. But my phone work good and never I had a problem.
So how can I get a brick?
I thought flash a Rom in ODIN with the LagFix activated but I'll have a good result? or Flash a Rom for the Galaxy S2 in a Galaxy S?
Or what do you think?
PS: Sorry if my english is bad.

For a brick you can also flash a stock rom and remove the usb cable at 50% or so.. Guarentee it wil be bricked xD
