Will unlocking Bootloader void my warranty ? If yes will i have my warranty back after relocking it ?
Or requesting the code from Huawei void warranty ? Thanks
As far is I know, yes. And it's irreversible.
So the warranty will be void for ever for software and hardware??? this thing are silly.
If You read agreement when requesting unlock code then it is sad there that Huawei allows unlocking bootloader, but warranty wont cover any damages made by manual flashing, so hardware issues still will be under warranty. There are some country and carriers that will void it anyway compleately, so ask Your carrier if You bought it on contract.

Its not really that silly because you could quite easily brick your phone or do permanent hardware damage with an unlocked bootloader. I wouldn't recommend it having a bricked p10 at the moment. If your doing it to root the phone, don't rooting is a ***** with the p10 and really not worth it.
Look below:
Actually I've had another look, There isnt anything in the locking agreement that suggests the warranty will be void. I guess vendors might not cover it for warranty but the huawei agreement says if its outside of warranty it can be fixed for normal repair rates. If anyone can actually source somewhere that it does void the warranty I'd like to see that. Maybe its just assumed that it voids warranty.

yeah I ready my warranty card for my p10 and it says basically if you break the phone by doing something with bootloader unlocked that the warranty wont cover it but they will still do a repair at the non warranty prices.

Hello!
I've bought Xperia T a week ago and I really wana get it rooted but I'm worried about warranty. I know it can void it and I talked to my sales man and he told me it will void if they figure out.
Now what I want to know is, if my phone dies in way I can reinstall original Firmware again, will service guys see my rooting & firmware change ?
I'm sorry if this sounds noob/stupid to you, but before I had Huawei Ideos X5 where I didn't give a crap about warranty, but now I do I purchased phone without Operator and the price hurts!
Thanks in advance.
As Far As I know Rooting doesn't void warranty. But yes Warranty may void if you unlock the bootlader.
First, i do NOT have a problem (yet), where i need service...
And I m sure my warranty is void with att because unlocked rooted renamed the oem folder edited build.prop, im sure any tamper flags are tripped.
That said, if i break a screen or have a button that stops working or somerhing like that, can i send it into moto for repairs with the understanding that i would pay myself out of pocket?
When I broke the screen on my note 2, I found out after the fact that Sammy would fix it for something like $150, which was cheaper than aftermarket repair shops, iirc.

Yes.
Also, You should also create an account on Motorola's support site (not their retail sales site), and when you provide your IMEI # upon signup, your warranty will be tied to your account also, you know, in case you want to make a warranty claim through motorola instead of AT&T.
So Motorola uses "QFuses and Trusted Boot" http://blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/04/unlocking-motorola-bootloader.html to prevent (hiding the fact) that you unlocked your device.
Apparently once you unlock you will always get the "unlocked bootloader" warning on boot, even if you restore stock, and OEM lock the device.
There are some tamper flag reset tools out there for non-Motorola devices, but I'm not sure how they work or if the tech can be applied in this case too, doubtful. - I would love it if someone found a way to do it anyway, I'm all for sticking it to the man!
Just thought I'd share, enjoy.
I feel the problem you will run into is that even if you reset all the flags, Motorola has a record of everyone who unlocked their phones. They most likely simply run the serial number when processing a RMA or Warranty claim and would reject you on that basis.
Unlocking the BL dose not void your warranty.

With the Pure edition it doesn't but I'm not so sure about all the other ones. When you get the unlock code you have to accept some terms and one of them is that your warranty is void. I'm sure if there is a legitimate hardware defect Motorola will still honor the warranty (technically in the US they are required by law to do so) but anything else is pretty much grey area.
Does rooting void my warranty? And i can unroot it fully ? By fully i mean is there a counter associated with rooting similar to knox counter in Samsung?

There are various different schools of thinking here. I take my answer from when I had a nexus 5 - in that if you unlocked, Google didnt care - which meant if you bought from Play, you were fine. However, if you bought elsewhere, you had to send it to LG and they routinely refused warranty on unlocked phones, regardless of how many laws they "broke" by doing that. With the 5, there was a tamper flag, but I haven't seen any evidence that one exists on the 6 yet, meaning relocking it *should* be fine if you can.
hi guys just wondering is it ok to unlock bootloader on clt-l09 p20 pro. its a uk vodafone model. I have unlock code. many thanks.
sorry folks just bumping this as i have looked for an answer but cant find one.
If you got valid warranty then you should not. Unlocking the bootloader during valid warranty will make warranty become invalid after. So wait for warranty expire first before doing it.
Without warranty means you can no longer get phone fixed in warranty if an hardware problem appears under the valid warranty.
So this is why i suggest you to wait for the 1-2 years warranty has expired and then you can unlock the bootloader.
im not bothered about voiding the warranty. i just want to know if its ok to do

it is ok, but again if you device get's a defect after unlocking your bootloader, then repair will cost you. So that's why i would not recommend unlocking the bootloader during valid warranty.
Since phone might be fine now, but later after you unlocked bootloader and something like phone camera begun to get spots or display starts to act weird and so on. Then repair center will just request money for your repair, because bootloader is unlocked and warranty is voided.
So my suggestion is to wait for warranty to expire, then you can unlock bootloader and play around. In main time you can request for a unlock code.
