If I gave some effort I'd find that facepalm picture.
Why do n00bs root their phone?!?!?! JESUS!
Maybe you should have researched what you were going to get yourself into before you rooted your device, there is no way to complete 'unroot' the phone at all. I don't believe google will have the ability to flash the firmware that allows it to go back to stock, so if they're 'nice' they'll have to send it to HTC.
You're **** out of luck, next time research and now you'll have to enjoy your Nexus One. Might I ask, why don't you like it anymore?

You have completely undoubtedly altered the phone beyond typical repair by Google's end, they will need to invest money in order to have HTC relock the phone. There is no way to 'relock' your bootloader, which is where you voided your warranty. I would not waste their time or your own money in trying to send the phone back rooted in order to obtain a refund

The only recourse is to keep it or sell it.

You're getting a new phone for the $130 deductible... and you don't send your broken one in. You keep it too... Hold on to it and see if you can get a replacement LCD to fix it and sell it later.

Really? I was under the impression you had to send it in by the way the Tmob rep explained it. I've been wondering about that for a while, how it would work in case of theft or something like that. Good information to know
I think I can easily flash the rom back to stock myself.
what about recovery? should i try flash it back to stock too?
and that open lock sign at the beginning, should I do anything about it?
Thanks.
you cant get rid of that lock sign in the beginning. You can flash your recovery back, but what is wrong with the phone in the first place?
the gps does not work any more (I tried all the ways I can find here but no fix)
I think I can just hope they will not tell me the rooting voids warranty..
Rooting will not void you warranty. Unlocking bootloader on the other hand, will void your warranty. But there are cases where people unlocked their bootloader, but still get their warranty.
Wish you luck.

Bullsh!t.
1. There are no SLCD replacements
2. You get the replacement before you send in your original, so you can always check
I guess it takes a savant MORON to switch an AMOLED to an SLCD via warranty exchange.
I'll take SLCD over AMOLED any day if it'll fix my touchscreen issue!
Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
I have received my Z1 day before yesterday, it is a great phone with amazing performance BUT
While taking some pictures, phone refused to continue, apparently it was too hot. I will post a screenshot.
Then when I connected to a original charger, xperia told me that the source is insufficient and my phone won't charge fast enough.. (i might have been playing some games, but still, original accessory). Is this ok?
I have heard that some Z1 phone have included screen protector mine did not have it. Other info I read is that there is one already installed, I can't see anything on the device though. And what about voiding warranty when removing it?
And is there a way to root phone (without unlocking bootloader) and voiding warranty?
Thank you guys for your answers and have a great day

There is a factory fitted screen protector, you can feel the edges of it at the very edge of the screen with your fingernails.
You will not void warrenty by removing it, I normally do remove it from xperia phones (Its difficult but can be done with your fingernails) but I have not done it yet on my Z1

Yes, just look in the two threads about rooting in the dev section.
Don't forget, rooting is different to unlocking

The protector pre-installed to the screen is not a scratch protector. It is a shatter protector, and scratches easily. It is also where the 'SONY' logo is printed, and removing it does invalidate your warranty.
It is recommended a screen protector is installed over the top of this shatter protector.

I have never had a problem with this.
Infact I removed this from my xperia T as soon as I got it. then several months later I dropped the phone flat onto its face onto a metal spike and screen shattered.
I got a free replacement under warrenty and no mention of the protector being removed.
I also, have never read in any of my contracts about warrenty being invalidated if its removed.
I also keep my phone in my pocket with loose change and car keys with no screen protector or case and have neve had a scratch or anything. the only time I had an issue was when I dropped it, and trust me, the way it was dropped, and what it landed on, it would not have mattered if it was srapped in bubble wra, it would still have shattered

Thats false, removing the shatter protector that comes pre-installed doesnt void your warranty
I got the information from the Email from Sony in the below post. Did they give false information? It'd be nice to know for sure, just in case I need to remove mine down the line!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40603775
That's not an email you got from sony,
that's a post from someone on xda.
Please read your contract.
I downloaded warranty guide (for UK and Slovakia) from sony web site and I didn't found anything about shutter protector :-/
So, to sum it up..
1. Screen
- there is screen protector pre installed
- we do not know for sure if removing it will void my warranty
- it is recommended to put another screen protector over it
2. Root
- If I avoid unlocking bootloader it will not void my warranty.
- there is how to on XDA already
3. Overheating while taking pictures
- no info so far here
- am I really the only one with issue?
4. Charging
- again the only one? (happened only once, is it reason to contact telekom?)
Thank you guys for your answers

You might want to update your firmware to .534.. It fixed any heat issues for me and my phone runs pretty cool even when I took 20 shots in a row
overheating z1
ok youre not the only one
i just bought my z1 3 days ago and all was fine.
until today, i spent 30mins playing with chrome and taking pictures and the back of the z1 got extra hot.
The camera didnt work anymore, was showing the overheat warning as you posted in here.
I wonder if this an issue with the mobile or is it a firmware problem ?
Lemme know if u have any solutions
Thanks

Well i am not sure, but can a phone overclock by itself? Cuz' if so than that might be the problem, if you have root you can try to download some app in google play and try to "underclock" and see if that helps, if it helps it might be that your phone is overcklocking by itself

I've been having problems with the sensitivity of the top 2mm of my phone's screen. I don't remember when it started but I think it was around a couple of months ago.
Before, it was only difficult for me to swipe the notification bar down, but now, I can no longer swipe it down unless I rotate the screen.
I don't remember how or exactly when it started, but I remember that I was using ARHD 70.0, then I updated to 71.1 in attempt to fix it, but it only worked for a while but it came back again. I also tried other roms such as MaximusHD and Eragon but still the same. I also tried rebooting to safe mode but still the same. I also used both stock and elemental sense kernels.
I updated my firmware back then to 6.06 and now to 6.07 but still nothing. I haven't tried downgrading yet though.
I tried using the line draw test and the result is found below.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I already searched xda and google but i found no solution to my problem.
It could be a hardware related issue. If it's still under warranty revert it to stock and re-lock the bootloader and just send it back.

Has your device been dropped or been water damaged? The digitizer connection from the mb could have became a bit loose.
*Edit*
I have read on a forum for the HTC One X which seems to have a similar issue to yours where a part of the screen is unresponsive. Someone suggested to clean the connector.

I did some more research about it and people are saying it is a digitizer issue. So replacing the digitizer should fix it, but you will need to buy the lcd and digitizer together as its nearly impossible to replace them separate from eachother.

It's definitely a hardware issue. I have been dealing with the same issue for about 6 months now. When I try to swipe down to bring up the notification bar I get absolutely no feedback . If I give it a smack with my palm near the top corners I can often times get it to start working again. However, it's usually short lived.

I see. Thank you very much for the help. I think I'll just send this to the service center when I get the chance. I will probably ask them to fix the red tinted camera as well. I just hope it won't be too expensive.
You have a dead spot. Sorry kid. If updating the OS still gives you the funk, you need a new screen.

I've only been using my Moto X for a month and so far I've been delighted with it, except its battery, but the power button is now stuck and can't be pressed. It happened earlier already but a quick blow and cleaning the side of the button with my nails returned it to usual. Issue has now returned and can't get it to turn off...
Any suggestions that don't involve a Motorola service center would be helpful, as the nearest one is quite far away. Thanks!

No, I don't love in the US, and I'm not too familiar on the return process, but I'll call up Motorola when they open. In the meantime I'm using Moto Display to unlock and knock lock to lock the screen, so it's not unusable, but it's definitely annoying.

There is an ifixit if you want to try to fix it yourself. It looks like you would have to take off the back and remove some screws.

Nah I'd rather just send it in to Motorola as not to break the warranty, but anyone know if Motorola will refund or replace the phone? I bought it through a third party retailer and still have the receipt, but I seriously doubt the store will take it back as it states on the receipt "all sales are final".

I really only know how it works in the US - here they just mail you out a refurb if the device was not customized. You can do it 1 of 2 ways. Either advanced replacement where you give a credit card and they charge you for the replacement device until they receive the defective device back or regular where you mail in the defective device first and then they mail out the replacement device once they receive the defective device.
As you bought from a retailer, it is their responsibility.
"All sales are final" does not absolve them from that.
