[Q] Does root/rom void T-Mobile JUMP

I want to install CM11 on my t-mo xperia z but don't want to void JUMP , if I unroot, reinstall factory image and re-lock bootloader by time I need to turn phone in will it not void JUMP? I come from a Galaxy Nexus and miss having stock android :crying:

I just bought a Xperia Z from T-Mobile myself today (Blackberry Trade in Promo, $6 down!) and was just literally talking about this very concern.
I'm going to bypass the Bootloader Unlock and attempt a root/recovery without unlocking it. At that point there shouldn't be an issue with flashing a custom rom. As long as you can flash back to stock (stock recovery, stock firmware) you should be fine. There seems to be a handy "flashtool" in one of the stickies that will explain how to do this.
I imagine you at that point should be fine. I would advise: do not unlock your bootloader. Most OEMs (I worked for HTC for many years) watermark your device and it's a pain trying to remove it.
Worst case scenario you can always do a warranty exchange to get a fresh device before JUMP upgrading later.

Thanks...that's good to know. I know on the nexus devices it has a unlocked watermark on the boot screen. I'll try the flash tool out

You cannot unlock the bootloader on the C6606 anyway, so therefore you cannot run CM11 (or any CM/PAC/AOSP/AOKP based rom) as running the custom kernel it requires needs an unlocked bootloader. The most you can do is flash stock based custom roms.
To verify this for yourself, enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler, then look in Service info -> Configuration. You will see that it says 'Bootloader unlock allowed : No'.
When you need to return the phone, just flash a stock C6606 FTF with Flashtool and there is no way they can detect that you rooted it or flashed another rom.

Is there a certain flashtool for c6606

Latest flashtool will work. I broke the screen on my first C6606 within first couple days and after rooting and installing custom stock rom. The screen didn't work though I suppose I still could've reverted to pure stock. Anyways, they replaced it with no questions asked and as mentioned above reverting is simple.

You just said your phone doesn't allow unlocking, unfortunately it won't happen. No way around it

so let me get this straight? what is the point in requesting a unlocked bootloader off the sony website if the phone can never be unlocked?
i thought all phones can be unlocked. i am slightly confused?

The first check is to check whether or not the bootloader can be unlocked, if your phone says no, then sadly you can't - you should stop at this moment.
All phones can probably have a generated key to unlock the bootloader, but doesn't mean it will work.

Lock Huawei P8 Lite Bootloader - not "RELOCKED" - warranty for reparation

This tutorial was done by haky 86, I just made a small adaptation for dual SIM.
All credits go to haky 86, thanking any corrections.
How to lock the own bootloader Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21 before sent to warranty for reparation?
Well, he found a way for this enigma and let's see together what should we do.
Requirements:
- Unlocked bootloader;
- TWRP recovery;
- ALE-L21C432B049 (B052 for dual SIM);
- ALE-L21C432B595 (B596 for dual SIM);
- ALE-B895 (B896 for dual SIM) (it's the Emui 4.1). Thanks to surdu_petru for uploading.
This rom should be installed and running before "lock the bootloader" so pay attention about the steps I did and what I mean.
Locking Bootloader:
- Do a factory reset by wipe all partition from recovery.
- Reboot to Bootloader.
- Flash via fastboot C432B049 (B052 for dual SIM).
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
- Do a factory reset from settings once the device is running and don't worry if you see unlocked bootloader.
- Now extract the UPDATE.APP from C432B595 (B596 for dual SIM), create a dload folder on sdcard and paste that update file inside it.
- Reboot the device by press vol up + vol down together and release them when update process is starting up.
- Now sit and drink something because update process can take some minutes with many automated reboots.
- Run OTA update as latest step.
- Now your bootloader should be "LOCKED" and not "RELOCKED" like the following image, happy locking..

Thanks! Will try that in a few days, when I get my new Mate 10. I don't want to mess up and be without a phone right now

Hi, i have my last days in warranty, after i lock my bootloader how can i brick it to send it to the reparation, hopefully they change my phone to a brand new one, or at least mainboard etc...

I guess you can't brick your phone with locked bootloader. This phone ain't that bad xD

Flashing a wrong boot.img will brick it? I mean old esal 2.2 for emui 4.1...Than if they don't accept it back, i will repair it.

I think you can't flash anything if you don't have unlocked bootloader.

They accepted my phones 2 times with booth unlocked bootloader with twrp, but why you need to brick it again if your bootloader is locked?

I don't think you will ever find a way to do it because whatever you do it will be solved with just reflash firmware. Sorry but you can't get another one that easy especially with locked bootloader

Sounds like you might have locked the bootloader after you flashed it.. What bootloader is it that boots?

i have same problem. i bought second hand mi's phone. previous owner use miui eu rom and i don't know. i update to miui global rom step by step in website xiaomi and it can't boot then i load firmware fastboot to install by xiaomi flash tool. i press flash rom (program choose clean all and lock by default) then my phone stuck in bootloop.

I ran into the same problem before. Before doing anything else, you have to unlock bootloader again. This shouldn't waste you any time as you have unlocked before

man, did u get any answer after this ?
I'm exactly in your same ****.
thx

Hey man I did the same thing and what I did was restarted my phone on fastboot mode and used the xiaomi tool again to unlock it again and it worked, since you already have waited de 300 + hours for the authorization, you can do it as many times as you want. Once the phone reboot it will start as normal andnit will ask you to enter the account you user to unlock it and that's it.

bricked mi8 please help
hei, here is my situation ... i ve bought a mi8 china version (i didn't know) and i-ve briked my phone flasing a global rom . The boot loader is locked and my phone goes stright into recovery mode. What should I do to resurect my phone? Is there any chance to help me with an unlock? can someone log to my computer via teamviewer just to hit unlock with a authorised account? please msg me on watsap +40766267128. Thankyou verry much and I apreciate!

This won't help much but hopefully it will help someone: DO NOT LOCK bootloader if phone is china version and you installed global rom.

I purchased my Xiaomi Mi 8 from Dubai (Awok.com with 1 week warranty) in Sept 2018 and used it only for few weeks. one night when the phone was charging, the next day morning I found the phone was in the reboot status with the "MI" logo in black background and not doing anything further, I tried to turn off and on and still the same status. Now not even the "MI" logo and when I charge I don't see any screen status, I believe the phone is dead or bricked.
For your information, my phone is a Chinese version and not a Global version!
Any help is highly appreciated as I don't have budget to buy another phone

That's just flashing the unlock token, after that you need to run the actual unlock command in fastboot. It's either:
fastboot oem unlock
or
fastboot flashing unlock
Can't remember which one it was, it's been awhile since I unlocked mine. But that command has to be run after using the token and it will show the bootloader unlock screen on your phone and the have to select to unlock it using the volume and power keys to confirm after.

I did both. That's what I meant by nothing after. My phone stays in fastboot and does not change or ask to unlock.
