Hello fellas.
How can i check if my phone has a warrianty void ??
I have read that warrianty can be still vaild even after root so ?
Go to download mode. It will say warranty void 0X1 if you have rooted your phone.
0x0 is normal.
Even though the warranty isn't void in some countries, Samsung will try to worm out of it by saying that the rooting of the phone has caused whatever the problem and it's up to you to prove otherwise...
Besides, this phone is 2 years old now, most warranties are null & void anyway...

I was thinking about rooting my captivate, but I've heard that it voids ur warranty and that if it bricks my phone then all is lost and I can't replace it. Does rooting actually void my warranty?

Short answer is yes it voids your warranty.
Not the short answer, if att were to somehow FIND OUT you rooted, you would void your warranty. Oneclickroot and z4root both have un root option, and if you end up going the custom rom route there is a lovely peice of software to flash stock unrooted back onto a soft brick situation. So if read up, know what your doing before you do it, and be careful they would never know it was rooted.
i actually had my phone exchanged the other day, and it was sooted. They only asked me to put the original software in it.
thanks for all the input guys! and yeah if i root and flash a rom and then find something wrong with the phone i can always revert back to the original software. if i brick it i can always report it lost or stolen.
had my rooted phone screen cracked, sent it into att and they fixed it no questions asked..
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.
I left Big Red last week and just received my t mobile phone yesterday. It arrived with G920TUVU3DOI1. I have spent hours pouring through these threads looking for a root solution. Everything seems to either break KNOX or the fingerprinter sensor. Maybe both? I would like bootloader unlocked, but just root would be ok. Is there a solution?
Nope, everything you do will most likely trip knox and void your warranty. The only way to root is to flash unikernal which will void your warranty. Samsung has an efuse which cannot be reset when knox is tripped.

I'm rooted with knox tripped and my Finger Print Sensor works fine..
Unfortunately DO1 and on can't be rooted without tripping Knox
Hello,
I'm considering buying a Sony Z3 Compact, and I'm unsure of its warranty status when rooted. I've read that warranty remains in tact if you don't mess with the bootloader.
I just wanted to clarify: if I use this guide, and follow all the 46 steps without skipping anything, will my warranty be void or not?

And do I need to restore something prior to using warranty? They're often quite strict about this stuff in Lithuania...
I have root and botloader locked and my phone has been repaired under warranty without problems
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
