I'am worried that if I send in my one to get repairs they'll notice that it's rooted and won't be able to fix it.

Hi
Greetings,
Yes rooting avoids the warranty
But it does not end their
You can make your phone complete stock again and return to HTC care centre
Basicaly you can root and unroot again

that's not correct, they will see that you've unlocked the bootloader... anyway if you root the phone it MAY void your warranty... hardware problems should be still covered by warranty
This has been asked many times. As a safe answer, yes rooting voids your warranty. But its not as simple as that, and it all depends on local consumer laws. In the UK HTC would have to prove that rooting caused the fault in order to reject a warranty repair. In theory only if you brick your device HTC should have the right to deny a repair. In practice they can come up with any excuse for any fault (e.g. your screen doesn't work anymore because you rooted, change to a ROM that modified parameters that caused the screen to fail etc.). And no, if you root and unroot, your bootloader status will be RE-LOCKED instead of LOCKED, so they will know if you previously rooted the device and could still deny a repair.

Dude if you mess with your phone with rooting or flashing other roms be prepared to have your warranty voided. That's the risk you take. Unrooting isn't magically going to bring the warranty back.

i think you said that because you have an s-offed htc sensation i had one too and for that device if you flash a RUU they won't see that you have unlocked the device but here we do not have s-off and we can't do that trick
Hi
Greetings,
Yes your rite and I came to know we still do not have s-off for HTC one
Neways thanks for clearing my mind

I believe he means, he 're-locked the bootlloader and either put stock back on through an RUU or he just installed a stock looking Rom.
If you unlocked your boot loader through revone odds are your warranty is fine! If you used the HTC website then your warranty MAY be void.
Best thing to do, is just run a RUU, and send it in. Some people have sent in their devices S-off and Unlocked.

I will give it a try then . . Thanks #proz
Hello,
I dont want to open new topic. I am on the latest 4.3 version with One and I want to make root, just root, no custom roms, just root for some apps. Can you please tell me the easiest, fastest and safest way to do that ? And also what should I do in order to make warranty in the future valid, like backup of stock rom or something.
Thanks a lot

how to root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one#root
About warranty: LOL read last 2 pages of this topic, its clear.
or from HTCdev.com:
It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty.

Tnx but I am reading that there is some Revone way of unlocking bootloader and then I dont get re-locked in case of warranty, is that way harder to make ? I was hoping for some SuperOneClickRoot possibility

Hi,
Actually, is not possible to have a supercid because S-OFF is not available.

How many S-Off users are there? Mine is S-Off...
How did you manage to get S-OFF?
Hi
Greetings,
Only dev edition has s-off ,
We will have to wait till dev removes something so that we can have s-off on our HTC one
Till then wait and yes we can get super cid only after s-off

HTC seems to release phones with s-off accidentally all the time. Makes me think they are throwing a bone to developers.

why i always miss those s-offed phones
I have noticed that s-off could be coming soon. But I've got itchy fingers and want to unlock my one
If I unlock the bootloader via HTC dev and s-off becomes available can I change the unlocked to locked again? So this doesn't affect any warranty?

Hi
greetings.
yes that is possible you can revert back to LOCKED. but after you achieve S-OFF
That's good. Had the one x before and unlocked the bootloader n never had any warranty problems but just wanted to be sure if something was to go wrong with this phone I could hide the unlocked :thumbup:
Thanks for clearing that up :thumbup:

Hi. I was wondering if I really need to s-off. Is there really any good benefits? Also. Once I RUU back and relock does tampered flag and red text go away? Thanks

I always s-off my devices. It makes sure that no matter what you can always root your phone. I do this with my parents phone. I root them and s-off and then unroot. Therefore if I were to ever sell the phone or need to root for some reason I would have that option. And yes a RUU will clear everything out, after you have relocked your bootloader
RUU won't relock your bootloader, AFAIK.
you need to do that via adb. However, it will say "relocked" not "locked"
That's where S-off comes in. It allows you to have the benefits of root (mods) and the benefits of stock (warranty).

Wow, thanks for that! Just curious, has anyone had a warranty claim denied by HTC simply because the bootloader said "Relocked?"

There is a ruu for your phone?
If yes, you can try to use it if the version main of your phone is the same.
But if you can't use a ruu, you have to go s-off, and after flash the ruu
No I think that there is no ruu for my phone. So what I have to do im completlu noob

You've to find a nandroid backup of your version main, and acheive the s-off for remove the tampered string.

I thought you knew by now that rumrunner isn't hboot dependent.
It might as well work with whatever firmware OP has.
