Hii to those who thought to read this.
First off im not new to modding stuff,i used E15i until now trying all the Rom's there is for the device.last weekend i bought a C6602 and thought i wont ever need to flash a Rom on this device,but as you know the Rom's for this device are visually stunning ( particularly this one ESSENTIAL SeXZ | DARK/LIGHT | X-Reality™)..so i wanted to try this Rom badly and here comes the greatest doubt i ever had.!
i know my warranty will be void but can i cheat my way back?
Because i got a piece-to-piece back warranty for this c6602 for a period of 6 months which i plan to use.
as the ROM is based on stock you dont need to unlock the bootloader. So you wont void the warranty..just flash a recovery and flash the ROM...and yes you can always go back to stock..
Okz

Hi,
My I rooted my z1 without unlocking the bootloader. I thought this wouldnt void warranty, but now, the repair service says my warranty is voided. Is this correct?
@Skanin if u have unroot it or if u have flashed stock firmware which isn't pre rooted before u sent it for reparing, then ur warranty is not voided.
A few weeks ago the phone could no longer get a gps fix.
I returned my phone under warranty and got an email today that they had found "a bootloader and broken motherboard", and that they susspect that rooting caused the damage.
I guess they should have said that they had found an unlocked bootloader, a rooted phone and custom rom probably caused it...
But do you think that it is possible for unlocking/rooting/custom rom to break the gps on a motherboard?
(note: in the EU rooting and such does noit void warranty)
Hello,
I am Sachin09 and I am facing "no os installed". I have unlocked my phone's bootloader and installed orangefox recovery. I visit to customer support centre. And they said that some component of my device got crashed. And they charge me ₹5500/- . So my point is did mi void warranty after unlocking bootloader. I have purchased redmi note 10 pro on 30 April 2022.
Ideally, unlocking should not void the warranty unless you fry something inside the device which only customer service can tell upon diagnosis. You should check if the part damaged is covered under warranty. No OS should not be an issue for them as they can simply flash the latest ROM and lock the device again.
Hey , my phone is under warranty, if I flash a custom rom is there any way I could claim my warranty just in case ?

You can install any custom rom but for the warranty a stock rom must be on it.
It doesn't matter if you've tried custom roms before.

Hi Anmol150704,
What NOSS8 said basically.... You can do what you like with the phone once you get it, but for the warranty to be honoured.... you need to return it to stock before claiming or they will blame the custom rom for the issue. So as long as you device is functioning enough to return to stock, you should be ok.
And unlike Samsung, there is no Knox/Triggers that I am aware of that they can tell if its been flashed or not. Which is the main reason I came away from Samsung, due to the forced compliance to stick to stock if you wish things to continue working or claim a warranty.
Cheers, Lister
But don't worry if your phone is dead with a custom rom and of course you won't be able to reinstall a stock rom, there is EDL mode but using this mode the warranty is over (software problem only, not hardware).
By following the flash instructions and informing it beforehand, it is quite rare to destroy the phone.
Xiaomi is solid.
All clear , thanks a lot
Yes you can, I recently reverted back to stock miui 13 from Evolution X with the help of Mi Flash. All you have to do is to download Usb drivers, Your device TGZ Firmware and Mi Flash Tool. There before flashing you can select lock and clean/flash and the device will be sent to locked status once again.

Unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty.

It does depending on the reseller or where you bought it from. Just DON'T let them now, ever

Sellers buy from Xiaomi, the warranty conditions are set by Xiaomi, of course, the warranty period is different depending on the country.
If there is a beta version for your Xiaomi model, you can unlock the bootloader with Mu unlock which, as a reminder, is an official tool provided by Xiaomi.
If you buy a Xiaomi in one country because it is cheaper and you used and lived in another country, the warranty will be denied by Xiaomi.(common case where the seller refuses the guarantee and send it to Xiaomi.).
