Depending on where you purchased it, consumer protection law may trump that.

Hi,
A simple question: if I have the Bootloader locked, and my smartphone (going to the service test page via *#*#7378423#*#*) says me that rooting status about bootloader unlock allowed is NO, it's due to my smartphone is locked by my carrier? (I have followed this instructions: unlockbootloader "." sonymobile "." com)
Flashing the ROM is enough to have it unlocked?
Thanks,
Marc

If it's carrier locked then there's no unlocking it.

If you got it direct from a carrier, NO.

Maybe icycoffee is the tool it was s-offed with, so I wouldn't try to relock the bootloader

If you want to flash custom ROMs etc. you can start right away, your phone is S-OFF so there is no need to unlock the bootloader.
Just flash a custom recovery and it should be fine

No, you would only need this to fake your Bootloader version(or whatever) but since you are S-OFF there's no need for that
Just go to number 4. where it says "Flash a recovery" then 5. and after that number 10. That should be all

Hi there,
Is there anyway we could get rid of the annoying bootloader unlocking warranty when the phone boots for an unlocked bootloader device? I couldn't find anything on it here.

No. The only way to root ATM is to unlock your bootloader

Why cant you root with HTCDev?
im not sure that the warranty will still be okay if we unlock it
plus the phone is from orange and it might not work

you will loose guarantee either way as the bootloader will show as tempered. More chance to keep it valid if you use the tools HTC provided.
Orange should work just fine. Just try...
On another note i sent 2 phones for repair to HTC "unlocked" and they never charge me for the repair.
yes, i was thinking of only gettin root and not unlocking bootloader

You can undo the root and unlocked bootloader, before you send it to HTC. If you cannot undo because you have too big problems with the phone (frozzen phone,...) they cannot controll it either.

not possible as far as i know.
I just need root permissions for some apps. But there is no way to get root with looked bootloader

yes you can undo and get back to full stock but hboot will show "Relocked" so they will know you mess with it.

I don't think it's important to check that option in developer options. It still could be unlocked.
Or simply download the stock firmware for XT1077 and flash it.
