Yes. My Phone is dead. I wanted to take it to Service center.
If Samsung Service center repairs or replace my mother board, are they able to find out that I rooted my phone when the device is fixed. i.e., still rooting exists after new motherboard installation.
Edit:
Yes. I was installing new rom Slimrom.
You need to be more specific, what did you do before it died? did you flash a rom without being on a safe kernel or did a car roll over it?

no after the motherboard replacement they can't know that you were rooted or not

AFTER it has been fixed is not the issue. But if it is totally DOA, they won't see anything beforehand. BTW, did you do anything with CWM.zip prior to bricking?

Is the software and hardware warranty different? My i9003's LCD is some what ripping off of its foundation and i want it fixed by the service center.. Before i submit it to the sevice center, do i have to revert back to the original FW or is it ok because my problem is just the hardware not software.. Thanks.
Edit: will they check my firmware if my problem is only the LCD which is ripping off its foundation?

It is always safer to flash back to a stock rom just to save any trouble with the service centre. I know some here look for any reason to void a warranty on a handset.
So if it were me I would flash back to stock and remove root and any other tweaks.

No problem. Hope it gets sorted
A quick off-topic question, I purchased a brand new SGS from Ebay, if it breaks, can I send it to a SAMsung service centre for a free repair (after flashing stock firmware
It depends on if your handset is outside of the original warranty period. But the only way to be sure is to bring it to a repair centre and they can tell you straight away.
Did you buy it second hand?

Last Sunday I tried to update my S5830's firmware, from Froyo to Gingerbread, but I accidentally used the wrong firmware. The firmware was for a Samsung I5510. My phone won't start up or boot into recovery or download. The lights of the back button and menu button are faint. Is there anything I can do to fix my phone?:crying:
Go to a service center. You hardbricked your phone.

Are you in warranty?

If you have a JTAG you can. It isn't recommended since Samsung service centers can do this for you.

Is bringing my phone to Samsung the best option?
Yes, is the only thing you can do.

If you are in warranty then you're lucky.
Show it to your samsung service center. If they can't solve it, there's hardly any chance of getting your phone back.
Yeah, I brought it again at another Samsung Service Center and they said that the motherboard has a problem. I smell something lazy at the service center. How much is the JTAG?

I've searched once (a long time ago) and it was something like US$150. Here on Brazil, if the company doesn't repair your product within 30 days, they HAVE to give you a new product or refund your money. Check with your local laws to see if something like this apply, it might be the best solution if the Sammy Service Center is too lazy and take too much time.
Finally after 3 Amoled screen phones prior to this one, I have my first ever case of "burn in." shows up kinda purple/pink on white backgrounds. Off to Samsung customer service chat I go.

I've had a repair center tell me they will swap out a refurb for it.
Samsung just gave me a number to call during the week. Will stop by a repair center tomorrow.
Would they be bothered with it being rooted? I had a few screens on my evo replaced under warranty and was on MIUI both times and they said nothing.

Not really but I would go back to stock just to be safe.

I agree. Put it completely back to stock so your chances of them saying they refuse to replace it because you rooted and put a custom ROM on it are virtually zero. Don't give them any excuse to say no because you're too lazy to put it back to 100% stock. Make sure you do a factory full reset after PC Odin back to stock and remove your SD card before bringing it in. Better to be safe than sorry.

Hello guys. I wasn't sure where to post this but my dad owns a galaxy s plus.
If he charges it ovenright, it's empty in the matter of minutes. It randomly reboots as well.
It is stock, non rooted and hasn't been tampered with. We still have warranty. My idea is that the battery could be dead, but I've seen several cases on the internet of this. Would it be wise to turn it in for warranty or can should I try a new battery?
I once had the same problems and it was because my battery was dead. AFAIK this is not a case of warranty, but you can try sendibg it to Samsung. Maybe you're lucky.

different reps will handle the same situation differently, one may replace it with less fuss than the other depending on what they know and what state you bring it back in.
why are you exchanging it, is it really bricked? is there something else wrong with the phone? is it rooted? these things will help determine what state you may want to leave your phone in when you walk through the door.
It's currently rooted with kingo but I think you can unroot it and it will get rid of the custom padlock ... I dropped it once at home but the silver rim is starting to chip off

Sooooo here are the options. IF you can get rid of the custom Padlock screen and remove root you can either Bootloop Soft brick ( though soft bricks are hard bricks for us right now ) or you can Brake the firmware and leave it in a Firmware has Encountered an Error screen. whichever one you feel more comfy explaining on your end as to how this occurred for the warranty claim.

I could not, it would recognize the device but never connect to transfer files.
I'll be pleased if they deny your claim and cite the accidental damage as the cause. Buy a case or insurance next time.
I do have insurance and case and screen protector since day 1
