Hi
I have a question before sending my HTC back for the wifi repair to HTC.
If I make a nandroid backup of my existing custom rom, then unroot the phone, when I reroot the phone once i get it back, can I simply use the nandroid backup I had made to restore everything once I have re-rooted?
Thanks
Manny

Yep, ofcourse you can.
To be honest you need to re-lock your bootloader also.
And hopefully your lucky enough to be one of the people that gets a warranty fix even though your unlocked and rooted.
As many people get turned away.

Ok, thanks, its worth a try
I made a nandroid backup of my stock rom and also have the boot.img for the stock rom. I assume that if I flash these 2 first and then lock the bootloader? Is that correct?
if it is correct - is it simple to lock the bootloader?

Hi, yeah thats correct mate.
Easiest way is to flash the correct RUU for you phone. Im sorry but I don't know how to get the correct RUU perhaps someone else could help.
What I do know is that you can never fully "lock" the bootloader again, it will say "Re-Locked" and not "Locked" all you can do is hope they do not check the bootloader.
Hope this helps

If they check it and see it says relocked and then refuse to repair it is the same as me leaving it unlocked?? So i may as well leave it as it is?
Thanks

TO be honest yeah, your right you may as well leave it as unlocked.
But definately return it to stock as much as poss, using the RUU or flashing the stock images etc.

ok cool, in that case will just flash the nandroid back up of the stock img and the boot.img and leaver the bootloader unlocked - should be sufficient. should i also uninstall the clockwork mod etc?

Definately, if they boot the phone and see CWM, TWRP, Titanium, SuperSU/SuperUSer they'll know straight away you are rooted.
Remove anything you possibly can that will identify a rooted unit.

Well they haven't even received it yet, since it was only sent on Thursday. I think they said it could take up to 7 working days

Using their repair tracking page, the current status is "in repair" so it's looking good. The status just changed an hour ago though so there's still plenty of time for them to call with bad news.

Warranty VOID?
I needed to send my phone in, but I don't have the sticker on the back, or the box, and there's no way for me to get to the settings on the phone, because the screen stopped working.
Will HTC still be able to service my phone, or is the warranty considered void?

HTC repair is bull**** just for the record. I have 4G Slides on the rest of my lines, ALL of which had to be sent in.
2 of those phones took nearly 45 [FORTY FIVE] days to get back to me. Apparently there was a hold for parts coming in from Taiwan. They wouldn't tell me which parts. They wouldn't even give me an estimate time. HTC didn't apologize or update me on my repair. I found all this out after numerous calls day after day.
But if you thought that was bad service, you'll love this...
The third phone was sent out and came back fairly quickly. Within a week. I was so happy to get my phone back.
Opened the box and GUESS WHAT?
HTC SENT ME THE WRONG PHONE
They sent me a completely different phone for a different carrier (HTC Evo 4G for Sprint). It was very beat up as well.
I swear, if it wasn't for their designs (which I love dearly) I would've dropped the company by now...
Sorry for the rant/threadjack. Thought you guys would like to hear a horror story. I'm done
does anyone know how to remove the super su app and the clockwork recovery? everything else is now back to stock as i did a nandroid back up immediately after rooting initially
thanks

Is your IMEI at the back of your phone the same as you see in the phone info?
If you have conflicting IMEI numbers, you may have a grey market phone..i.e. a network locked phone that was unlocked using an hacked ROM or other method

The problem is that it has been unlocked in a dogy way.
I never heard of the z3x box.
I have to go check it out and will be back later.
Looks like an interesting box.
But very dangerous if you don't know how to use it.
I see that z3x has a repair function for restore damaged imei to original only.

What would be the best way to reset this thing to be ready to send back? Would I need to KDZ it or just use the superuser root removal process? Thanks in advance.
I think you to KDZ to remove traces of root.

My issue was with my ear speaker crackling, call verizon and they wanted me to go into safe mode and try a few things which did not help. I have a replacement one coming Thursday.
Hey guys, I was trying to gain root on my New Note 7 With this method( http: //androiding.how/root-verizon-note-7-ph3-userdebug-firmware ) I get to the point where i flash the sprint firmware and it fails with Odin and now i cant boot my phone. Trying to figure out if there is a way to fix this or if i'm just screwed.
Comes up with a dead android with an exclamation point above him when i try to boot and I it won't let me do a factory restore.
Check out tje Verizon phone repair desktop app. You put the device in download mode and it resets it. Bricked mine 3 times and that always works
Fixed!

I believe this will leave your phone updated to the latest firmware which means no root. You can always reflash your current version firmware with Odin to repair boot issues. You only have issues when trying to flash down to a previous version. See this post:
