I was rooted only my Xperia arc not unlock bootloader. Will I lose my warranty ? I'm afraid if I unlock my bootloader I will lose my warranty ? Does root Xperia void my warranty ?

Yes you lose warranty by rooting your xperia.

This is a grey area as Sony don't support rooting so in theory you lose warranty, but I have had to send many arc back to Sony for repair, because I bricked the device by updating over the air when the bootloader was unlocked via test point( didn't realize it was unlocked) and nothing was said about it being rooted( perhaps because it wouldn't switch on) still got it repaired.
So in short yes you lose warranty but depending on the repair it might not be an issue.

I heard that It was voided your warranty when unlocked bootloader. I feel if I rooted only, I wouldn't lose my warranty. Sure ?

If I repair via SUS. will I claim my warranty ?

IMO the rooted phoned could be flash back to stock ROM and kernel but not the BL even you re-lock it by any means.
As I know something like id for DRM (??) would be gone forever when you unlock the BL.
Dear friend, remember when the time unlocking the bootloader, there is a particulars verification to fill in on Sony's website. Only if they are right then they will send u the keys to unlock. It should b that time when they keep a record of it n that's why...

I've rooted my play with zergRush metod, and I'm thinking about unlocking the bootloader so i can load custom rom, kernels ecc... Now, my phone is under warranty and unlocking bootloader will void it right? If I relock it, does it return under warranty?
I dont think so, since the DRM is not restored.
If you use the paid method then your drm certificates aren't wiped

And the paid method is this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285285
And then for regain warranty: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134334
Am I right?
That's just a tool that can be used to unlock the bootloader if your phone is already able to do so right out of the box. But yes same idea as the paid method

Contact jinx or allejandarismo
The do unlock for a small fee
To root you don't always need to unlock the bootloader.
If on gb.42 or ics then you can root using the easy root options. If on .65 then you will need to downgrade to .42 then root then ota to latest version.
Unlocking with setools is good and safe and still able to use pcc or seus.

I want to discuss, Which is void Xperia warranty , Only Root, unlock bootloader, or flashing unofficial ?
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
Unlocking your bootloader is what voids your warranty. Rooting is fine.
And technically, to flash most custom ROMs, you would need to unlock your bootloader except a few stock based ROMs.
Thanks for own info

Hi!
I want to flash new kernel but earlier I must unlock bl. I will do this with official metod but i'm afraid that Sony and my operator(T-Mobile) dont wanna repair my phone when for example: my vol up button will destroy of using recovery, cause of unlocked bl. Can I lock bl when I will give my phone to warranty. Also I wanna know that, they wont be able to check that I unlock bl earlier?. Sorry for my bad english

They should repair all hardware issues so wouldn't worry about relocking it, any software issues can be repaired here.
When I will have software issue I will repair it by myself When I hear that Arc S wont have JB and any updates I decide to unlock bl. And last question. Can I relock my bl when I want and after that unlock again?

Yes, you can lockit, someone had send me once a link, but it was in german, my language is estonia and little of inglish
without knowing my phone's bootloader was unlocked by the shop in the 1st place!!!
it's currently 6.1.A.2.45 Root Status: Unlocked Bootloader = Yes...
after downloading the update, the phone shut down automatically while installing the update, and a brief recovery screen appear on the restart, the phone would still start normally but there's a notification telling me the update could not be installed
I repeated this a few times then only I realize my phone was unlocked and OTA shouldn't be done on an unlocked phone :crying:
had it done any damage? I can't tell....
please help, thank you guys very much in advance........

If u have an unlocked bootloader on ur device, u will experience FOTA brick while you try update OTA, I heard PCC stops working as well but SUS works for some. But you always have access to flashtool for flashing new fw.
