Manifacturer warranty is not lost unlocking bootloader.
It's obvious that if you brick flashing something wrong.. warranty will not help you.

Q. If I flash the stock rom then will it make bootloader locked again?
Q. If not, I tried the Easy Unlock Tool to make the bootloader locked and it made the status
of the device to relocked instead of locked. Is there any way to make the status to locked instead of relocked?
NO.. You cannot get "locked" again

That means my set's warranty is permanently voided? It's just 4 days old

Nah, people/companies accept it, as long as you haven't damaged it hardware wise or hardbricked it.

You will only need service if there is a hardware problem, like display breaks or speakers stop working or something like that..
Apart from that, we are here to help
I have a pure edition. Im so afraid of voiding warranty then dropping and cracking the seemingly very fragile screen.
Pure Edition counts as a developer device, unlocking doesn't void warranty. Don't count on them fixing it if you brick it while flashing though.

In my experience, as long as you can get your phone to bootloader/adb/recovery mode, there's always a way of unbricking it, this is of course considering you are soft and not hard bricked . If you're messing around with the correct files for your device, the chances of bricking your phone are minimal.

Considering that there really isn't anything for us to flash, there's pretty much zero chance of it bricking. Unlocking the bootloader alone has zero risk, and flashing TWRP also pretty much has zero risk.

Unlocking the bootloader will neither void your warranty nor affect your ability to receive updates.

Yes as soon as you unlock bootloader. But relocking it solve it. But flashing supersu on official rom voids your warranty. And using a custom rom is the greatest villain of warranty. To restore your warranty flash the stock rom , flash stock recovery and lock your bootloader and voila! You get your warranty back. Hope you liked it. Thanks.
Should I follow the same steps than in one plus 3 ? I didnt find any guide for oneplus 3t, do you have the stock recovery?

No. One plus doesn't void your warranty like everybody else does.

Incorrect! You don't loose warranty with OnePlus Devices. Even if you unlock the bootloader and root etc. Warranty is only void under hardware damage due to a modified device (too much overclock, overvolting the battery and it explodes etc). You are fine dude

Yo that's correct, I apologize but Oneplus clearly mentioned in their policy that they will verify that problem is not because of rooting/unlocking.

That is true, custom roms are usually not a problem. it's when you mess with stuff like battery voltages and overclocking that can (slim chance) cause failures that wont be covered by warranty shouldnt happen with just a custom rom and root though so should be all good.

Hi,
I'm trying to choose between buying a K20 Pro (when it releases in India on 17th) or a OnePlus 7.
I remember that that the warranty of older Mi phones would not be considered void if it was rooted or only the bootloader was unlocked. If I remember it correctly, it would be voided only if a custom ROM was flashed.
So, is this the same scenario with the K20 Pro? What can be done without voiding the warranty?
Thanks
Isn't that the case for any make and model of smartphones?

I don't think so. Rooting voids the warranty of most phones. Xiaomi, OnePlus and another OEM were the only ones who allowed rooting without voiding the warranty.
Also, the info I remember is from 4~5 years ago, so I might be wrong.

I had an OP3, rooting voids warranty, same case with my SGNote2.

Any idea about the K20?? Will rooting it voids it's warranty too?
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't, rooting will.
Unlocking or rooting shouldn't void your warranty. Also I'd given my RN4 for replacing the board and I had a custom ROM in it but I still got it replaced under warranty. There's no official statement but you can always revert back to a stock ROM before giving it for repair
