dude you get your warranty back if you flash a stock rom again....rooting is always tempprary and you can get it unrooted easily....if you damage your phone after rooting and then if something happend then your warranty will be void.....so risk is yours-- warranty or root.....i rooted my phone within 1 hr of its purchase and after 5 months there was not even a single day i felt that i should get my warranty back...l.....
but CW5 still remains i suppose!! And where can i find the exact stock rom?

I am trying to create a one click root and unlock but I am afraid to test it. Does anyone know if rooting a already rooted phone will brick it?
I don't know if this helps at all but when I rooted mine I used one click root then used unleash the beast which had root in the package. No problems here. Also I've heard is nearly impossible to brick this phone

Idk if this will help but I had fc problems with some programs that required root and I found the update.zip that contained the new superuser app and flashed it with the old superuser app installed and it worked perfectly.
So even though I'm not sure my answer would be yes.
So, if I root my phone I know I loose my waranty.
But, what if I root it, put on a theme, put on JiT and unroot it?
Will I still have my waranty or it will delete.
I'm talking about 2.1.1.A.0.6.
Thanx.
if you unroot your device back then sure the warranty still valid

Lock bootloader if you opened it and unroot. think it will let you regain your warranty but dont know about jit they may find about you putting the jit there and invalidate your warranty
What ever you do to your phone, As long doesn't involve unlock bootloader it still under warranty (If u somehow revert back to stock eclair)

Flashing back to stock rom (using flashtool) unroots your phone. At least for me.

Well, yes.... But if under certain circumstances that your x8 is hardware damaged (Screen) & you still rooted..... you at least can flashback to 2.1 (Screen doesn't work, but flash stock rom is not a problem....)....
But if hardware that is damaged until cannot turn on the phone..... BUY AN NEXUS 7
Not sure how to check this but I semi bricked my phone last week, and thanks to you guys here for helping me getting it back up and running.
But how can I check if it is still rooted?
Some of my programs are not working anymore
Thanks
Download root checker from play store. That app will simply tell you whether you are rooted or not.

If you don't know if your phone is rooted it means you don't use apps which requires root which in turn means you have no need to root your phone!

I have not re installed them yet ok, and as you can see from the previous post I have already determined it is not so why you felt the need to make a snide comment is beyond me.
Root very quickly. Upload the official ICS ROM with PC Odin. Then upload the stock recovery using the kernel from this thread. I've done everything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191

Hi there, can you flash the SuperSU.zip from Recovery? I've lost root numerous times (after flashing certain kernels) and SuperSU works fine for me.
I hope this helps. Please hit THANKS if it did.

Still have Odin on my phone, will that need to be removed if I am adding ICS with it already attached?
Also my kernal version has changed like 2x today from all of the updates (LRK currently) will have to find a new way to root vs the way I did it when I was on KKA or whatever it was
Hello friends ,thanks for seeing this thread,i am newbie but got tempted to jb and finally rooted my device and than chenged rom to jb. Now my question is how to retain warranty after all. I searched and read all topics but was messed . I need help with process and terms.

To retain the warranty you need to unroot and go back to stock rom from your region

I understand it but what are those flash counts all these stuffs confused me.
Flash counts void your warranty. Use triangle away to remove them.

Once u reset the flash counter using TriangleAway, your phone will show the binary count as 0 & firmware as samsung official (this is something which samsung may check to see if you have flashed cutom rom/firmware. By resetting this, samsung will not come to know that you had rooted your phone :thumbup then u can flash ur region's stock rom using PC Odin..it wl unroot & remove cwm..
Hey guys, little bit of a problem, hope you have some ideas.
Basically, My phone has decided it wont be charging anymore, the battery charges fine in my wifes N7000, used 3/4 different charges, all work fine with hers, none which work with mine, looking inside the charging port, it appears to a little burned, theres an area which is quite black inside the port.
So, the phone is rooted and running a lightweight LSZ leak, its not returnable to samsung (and likely, my insurer) in this condition, problem is, if the phone isnt connect via USB, I wont be able to flash an official firmware via ODIN to remove the rootage.
Is it possible for me to perhaps flash an older firmware through CMW and then try and update OTA to remove root, or, am i destined to charge my battery from my missus' phone from now on?
Many thanks!
if you rooted why not use mobile odin to flash a stock firmware..

Yes
Edit: also read thoroughly as you already have the link there are few things you would require to install for the lite version.
Under default settings of mobile odin, it will remove root. But before you go about uprooting, make sure your counter is set to 0. If no then you will need to use triangle away app and it will need root access.

Thanks guys, I already run the triangle remover when i first rooted my phone and the counter is still at 0, plus i am rooted. i notice in the instructions there is some flash kernels, will I need to flash this first via CWM before using mobile odin or will Philz kernel be fine for me?

It is an apk file.
I think for the lite version you will need to download the odin flash kernel first. Just follow the instructions. The paid version automatically downloads it.
Thanks again guys, one final question then, if you was returning your note to the Samsung centre would you use the kies GB, ICS or JB official ROM? Considering making it the JB, what do you think?

you can take it to service center with JB or any of 2 older versions, does not matter.
Edit:as long as firmware is for you country and samsung has released Jelly Bean in your country.
Luckily the Netherlands has LSZ so that's what I'm going for tonight, thanks for the help gents!
