so I have the screen separation appearing on the bottom right corner of my screen. I am rooted with CM6 and wanted to know should I unroot and go back to stock before taking my phone to Sprint Service center? If so, where can I found the stock latest 2.2 to flash my phone back to stock?
Thanks for all advice and helps in advance!
I got the screen replaced on my Evo last week due to dust under the upper left corner. I took it in just like I use it...running Fresh Rom and the Riptide theme. They won't say anything about being rooted unless you are bringing the phone in for a problem that may be related to rooting. Screen seperation isn't that type of problem. They didn't even mention it.

I said in my post "I got the screen replaced on my Evo last week". They removed the screen (outer glass, bezel, digitizer and LCD are all one assembly) and put a new one on. Took about an hour.

Did they charge you?
If there is no physical damage (scratches, dents, water damage) it should be replaced for free.
While that guy was lucky, I would DEFINITELY unroot before taking it in. Rooting voids your entire warranty, and if they see it, even if your problem is hardware related and not software related, they can void the warranty and you will never get it fixed. Better safe than sorry.
o.k..
I need to find a rooted htc stock room that I can just flash..
I have been searching and can't find the one I need.
Links any one?

you need to unroot, not just flash a stock ROM... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800582 but first check if your s-on/off (read the link to find out more)
Forgot I had a nandroid backup saved on my computer of my phone while it still had HTC rom.
Turned out my glass on the front panel was version 1 which means my complete phone has to be replaced.
So now I will have Android 2.2 with HTC rom and will have to learn to root that. It was so easy to root when I had 2.1 but I'm sure I will be able to handle it.
New Evo on Thursday!
Hope the newer ones are better!
Any opinions on the new Evos or any thing I should know about the newer ones?
I called my local Sprint repair center and asked what their policy was on rooted phones. Like the OP said they didn't care as long as you aren't having software issues. If you are thinking about taking your phone in call the store and ask it won't hurt a bit. Now if you think they are going to replace your device save your self a trip and unroot first because the phone will need to be returned to stock before they will exchange it. The employees were actually impressed with what had been done with the phone and were very cool about it. Think about it they work on phones hopefully they like what they do, they think its cool too.

I rooted a new one yesterday and used unrevoked without issue. It has actually gotten easier then when i had to use adb push and all that.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk Pro.
So, since I am getting a new phone out of this and my phone is still rooted, should I go back to completely stock?
All I did was flash back to my very first back up with HTC stock rom.
Will just having my Evo flashed to that first backup be enough when they ship off my phone after they hand me over my new one or should I fully restock my phone?
Does the phone go back to Sprint or HTC?
fully unroot and return the phone to stock it is easy to do its like 2 steps and takes only a few minutes.
people act like it is an hour long in depth process to root and unroot your phones its 5-10 minutes to do it and better not to take chances. All it takes is for one guy having a bad day to be a **** and make a note voiding warranty etc. Also in your case now is it really worth risking having to go home and unroot it then run back out to do the swap if they need you?
just unroot (not just flash stock htc actually unroot)

zone23 - You're lucky... I went in today to get my button crack fixed, made an appointment, took some time off work, and the second I got in there the guy berated me for having a non-official extended battery and said they wouldn't do any work on it because its rooted - even though my problem had NOTHING to do with software.
unrooting right now and then going to a manager. generally sweet customer service... not today.

Ouch hope they didn't flag your account...if so your SOL unless you know someone or find a hella cool manager.
Always unroot it only takes a matter of minutes (or should) and can save you a lot of hassle.

I've given back a few rooted phones for non-root related issues (speaker bad, kickstand won't stay in, LEDs don't work - 5 evos total so far) with no issues. Did the same with a lot of flashed TP's (12) and TP2's (2).
They can void your warranty for rooting it, sure, but they can't over the battery. Just tell him you don't know anything about it and you bought it that way on craigslist. That doesn't protect your warranty, but unless the guy has just decided to be a total d-bag they'll probably replace it anyway.
Also, the employees behind the counter are just people too. Being nice and not acting like you have a sense of self-entitlement to anything you want goes a long way. Believe me, I know first-hand. Customers' attitude factors in fairly heavily in how they get charged at the computer shop I work at because the techs set the prices on jobs.
Just be nice, don't be an a-hole yourself. If they say they won't fix it - fine. Say thanks anyway, be polite, and leave with it. Go home, unroot it, pick a different sprint store, and go complain about your original problem again. Five bucks says they'll fix it no questions asked.
It sounds like some of you need to read the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. The very notion of "my entire warranty is voided because I'm rooted" is completely illegal and anyone that tries to tell you otherwise could find themselves in some legal hot water.

Not true, if you modify or alter a consumer product to a point that it performs significantly different than the manufacturer intended, the manufacturer is under no obligation to warranty it any longer.
I'm pretty sure this topic has been addressed many times and there is no set answer? I vaguely remember reading a legal article on it as well. It would be nice if there was an official statement made by both carriers and phone manufactures.

That is not entirely true. They can not void your warrenty for issues unrelated to rooting. If you brick your rom, sure that is legit for them to do that...but if my LCD fails, and is unrelated to the rooting, then no they can not. If they try to do that, you make sure you fight it.
I had a repair center in my town refuse to fix my speaker on my mogul with low volume problem, because I had a scratch on my battery door cover. He said my warrenty was void to to "Physical damage."
After a phone call to Sprint, and apparently other complaints that service center lost thier contract with Sprint. I ended up with a touch pro 2.... (Although I just wanted my mogul fixed , I was never happy with the TP2, and bought an EVO )
I have bought through clove.co.uk my HTC ONE X.
I have successfully unlocked it through htcdev.com
Now I have a yellowish spot on the lower left corner - a hardware fault, clearly.

I will keep you posted.

please do..as your story seems quite interesting now. hopefully they will replace it for you but kinda makes you think twice before unlocking it now kinda makes me sad hearing that..i really do hope there is an S-OFF exploit cause if there is not i maybe just maybe might end up selling this and going back to either s2 or buy the s3 when that comes out and hopefully that bootloader will be unlocked...i am really loving my phone but things on this side seem so complicated compare to the s2 one
The htcdev unlock shouldn't affect your hardware warranty but it is worded so that in theory anything could be blamed on you altering the firmware. It would be daft if they do end up refusing to fix your phone for free as it is obviously nothing to do with the unlock.

I also have informed Clove that I have posted here.
Let's wait and see whether all the hype about HTC opening the bootloader is just marketing or has some sense. After all, I didn't alter anything hardware so if - say - some button or screen ceases to function or doesn't do it properly, why shouldn't warranty be valid??
The thing with the yellow point is well known. At least in Germany. Had a One X that had the same yellow spot on the left bottom of the display too.
Brought it back to the shop (Saturn) and get a complete new one.
Hopefully you get a new one, too!
Forget to mention that I've didn't unlock it.

The way HTC word it on htcdev is that because you're not using official validated firmware then you might have had faulty firmware which damaged hardware e.g. it was overheating but the firmware somehow managed to ignore it and continue.
It depends on what is faulty I guess. If the micro USB socket breaks then it is obviously nothing that could be caused by firmware.
The yellowish spot is probably the glue they used to stick the LCD to the touchscreen. There are quite a few mentions of similar spots on this forum. Was it there when you first got the phone?
Yes it was there but it went unnoticed due to excess of enthusiasm in going through each and every menu and too much work to take care of small details. but then, with time, I got aware of the yellow spot.
Clove also noticed it and sent the phone to HTC.
I avoided unlocking at HTCDev as I'd like to keep my warranty, so I will be waiting for Revolutionary

HTC is entitled to some form of protection. If you overclock and fry your CPU they shouldn't have to eat the cost. Friends who unlocked international phones have gotten h/w (display, build issues, etc.) related warranty service from HTC with no hassle.
Here's their policy:
It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty.
Unlocking the bootloader means that you now have the ability to customize software on your device. Please note that changing your bootloader can cause significant issues with your device and once you have unlocked your device, you have agreed to the disclaimer that states a change in warranty status such that in the event you render your device unusable, you are responsible for the recovery of your device, whether by repair or by other means.
It seems fairly reasonable. Asus has Prime owners completely waive their warranty rights, even for non-related issues, when they unlock their bootloaders. So it could be worse.

I have also sent my phone in for a yellow spot. Phone was rooted on HTC dev. Right now the status is "In Repair". So we will see what they say. I did flash back to stock before sending it in.
i rooted my HOX also. after 2 weeks i noticed the wifi fault AND a yellow spot. relocked it and send it in for repair. returned the phone a few weeks later. Still had a wifi issue, but now i don't get warranty for their faulty repair the first time because they saw is was *relocked*
after a few angry phone calls i decided to fix it my self

Does anyone know the official root policy at At&t? I waited about 3 months to root my Galaxy S but I want to root and flash mine now without worrying about the warranty in case I screw it up.
Root voids warranty... Just flash back to stock for warranty purposes you can get the odin tar at wwww. Samsung- updates. Com

It should, but I don't think it matters.
The way I understand it goes as follows: The terms of your warranty are set by Samsung. When you bring a phone to your AT&T store to have it replaced under warranty, AT&T is simply taking that phone and returning it to Samsung for you. The Samsung warranty clearly states that rooting your phone violates your warranty.
Despite that, when I called the support number and asked several people at AT&T, all of them assured me that rooting does not void my warranty. I even made one of the people I spoke with email it to me in writing, for what it's worth. I ended up deciding that it shouldn't really matter though because:
1. It is really easy to root without tripping the counter, and
2. If you go into the store to use your warranty, do you really think the person there will know what the binary counter is, no less how to check it? And if Samsung ends up saying that your phone's warranty was voided, AT&T takes the loss, not you.

You can unroot/reset the flash counter so why risk submitting a phone that is rooted?
Just unroot and return it to stock first to avoid any hassle - even if some AT&T reps tell you it's ok they are not the decision makers and are OFTEN wrong/mis-informed.

Luckily I am still under the Manufacturer's Warranty, and they replaced it with no problem. Although they did ask me if my device was rooted. I just told them "No" and crossed my fingers.
UItimately they replaced the phone. Thank you for you quick response.
With any luck they'll just go straight to re-imaging it and overwrite everything without bothering to look too closely at it. Then it would be sold or made a warranty replacement as a refurb and everything will work out. I'm sure this isn't the first time someone has brought them a brick and hopefully they're not bothered enough by it to look very closely at what happened to it.
However, I would take a closer look at what ROM you're flashing on which flavor of SGS 3 this time around. Bring in more than one brick and even the slowest sales person might get to wondering!
If you get lucky and the AT&T employee is a good person and your phone is having a hardware issue that could never be caused by root, they sometimes don't care about your phone being rooted. It has happened toa friend of mine.

All this talk about voiding warranty is interesting. I'm not an expert however I thought that warranty cannot normally just be "voided" in totality - instead manufacturers can deny a warranty claim on the basis that a modification has interfered with the product and they are no longer liable.
So, if we root the device and then have a major software failure (bricked), Samsung can say "denied warranty claim"
On the other hand, if the button stops mechanically working, surely Samsung couldn't claim this was related to the rooting.

In the EU is warranty a legal right which can't be canceled by the seller. In contrast to guarantees the seller made. The problem is that warranty is effective when the problem already exists at the moment of sale. And this is mostly a question of confidence.
I can't speak for Samsung but HTC tries this also and here I know enough cases where the warranty stayed after rooting/unlocking and the device was repaired/replaced free of charge.
I know Asus is not cool about the warranty stuff. I had a 3 month old TF700 that had the touch screen fail and Asus wouldn't fix it under warranty. $280 out of pocket and we all know there is no way CleanROM broke the touchscreen sensor. I just assume Samsung is the same way, but have no idea actually.

They aren't too bad from my experience. I sent a fully rooted tab 7 to them that had internal memory go bad. I sent it to t hem with ICS on it, though the device was never upgraded beyond gingerbread from OTAs. They fixed it TWICE (it happened again when i received it back) for the same problem without any complaints or questions.
So, waiting on my tablet to get here tomorrow and I've been reading quite a bit about Knox and the secure compartment. Now, Knox is something I can say with the utmost certainty that I will never use. However, my groupon tablet only comes with a 90 day warranty so I will be purchasing a square trade one. Should something go terribly wrong and I eff up my tablet from rooting and flashing, will square trade deny me repairs due to the Knox counter being tripped? How likely is it that something truly irreversible happens from rooting and Roming this tablet? I'm so used to the ease of nexus devices that this whole Knox thing is putting me off big time. I know for most scary situations like bootloop on my N4, there's a way to come back from it with a flash. How about Sammy? I know all devices are capable of a hard brick, but is it more possible with our Note 10.1-14? Thanks guys

I don't think you read the OP carefully, since he's not referring to the manufacturer's warranty. However, I'm not sure what the answer is here, not being familiar with Square Trade warranties.
Never mind on the square trade warranty. They used to cover refurbished tablets, but have ceased to do so. As for the brick ability of the tablet though? Anyone hear of hard bricks yet?
No Brick

Hi for me it was worth it. I am using the Tab just home so no need for the Knox Container.
If you use Oden Twerp and Hal 9000 you should no face any probs. After rooting some small issues, which are discussed throughout all Forum Plattform, are gone since root. So good luck and enjoy the new Tab. Greetings from Germany.
