You won't get your warranty back.
But you can update/repair your device via PCC/SUS.

Yes after relock you can get warranty back. Now there is a way for that.
You may not get any warranty support if your phone's OS is crashed or phone is not booting up because of the unlock bootloader or hard brick.
But you can get warranty support for the physical damage, let's say you have unlocked bootloader but, some how your phone's display is not working, or you phone's speaker is not working, in that case you will get warranty support.

Sony's terms of unlocking bootloader is may void the warranty. It is may, and ofc may not.
But supposedly you're in country that can't accept unlocked bootloader, relocking it may change that. I mean, as far as I know, there's no conventional way to checks whether the drm is still exist or not. ofc there is brava engine and download music info not working, but there is a fix for that. Maybe there are other (non-conventional) way in Sony to check it, just pray that they don't do that. Lol..

I just got my Galaxy Nexus fixed from Samsung cuz i had some problem... But when I got my Nexus, it was unlocked! (bootloader) is this normal? Should I lock it back so I can get my support from Samsung (warrenty)?

yep ive seen other users posts where they got their phones returned with an unlocked bootloader. just boot into the bootloader and type in fastboot oem unlock to relock it.
Ok I'm a bit of noob... Does the phone factory reset when you relock it? Also I don't have right driver I don't think... Is that okay with re locking it?

I believe it only resets when you unlock it, not when you lock it. I don't see any benefit of locking.

I'm thinking of doing that just because I'm not thinking of rooting this anytime soon and also so I can get the benefit of warrenty.

Completely understandable, BUT have you ever heard/read of any manufacturer refusing a warranty because the phone was unlocked (or even rooted)? I never have. Besides didn't you say you received it unlocked?

If a manufacturer/repair company refuses to repair a hardware-related error on a phone which has a modified software, I'm gonna lose hope in mankind.

That is true... Maybe I should relock when I need it... And maybe I need to complain at Samsung first before doing it so

Hello. I bought about eight months Gvshymv. You're just a tiny spot of white on black LCD door. But other colors right door. This is a very small point, I think it's a pixel. I want to ask is there a way to fix it?
No, send it while you have warranty

Bootloader unlock my phone so my phone is out of warranty
You'll have to buy a new screen and install it to get rid of that faulty pixel

There is no way to repair the dead pixels? :crying:
No. Better leave it as it i.

If you have warranty on your phone, then you can just replace your phone by this similar (call to the Sony support about your wishes) or repaired.
In other situations you don't have other ways to repair or get same but newer.
My phone is out of warranty the warranty expirwd on 10/04/2013 so great.....
But if anybody has a good supplier for parts of this phone, then let me know... I can replace, but it is about 100$...

I just bought an R800i (and it indeed is i just looked on the back) but when I do the dialer code to check bootloader unlock alllow it says no 0_o. Is there anything I can do or do I have to pay :\. I hope I dont have to pay because I payed a little more for the international version thinking they could all be unlocked -_-.

That only works if the Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes
What would make the ZL void it's warranty...is it rooting or unlock the boot loader...
Can Sony knows that we root the device...is their anyway to hide that...if like a faulty phone and want to claim warranty and already change from root to normal again...can they detect that...

The only way to make the warranty work is to wipe your phone and install the stock Sony firmware

I don't think so but they can detect it if you send over the device.

I got my rooted phone replaced. Before sending to the service center, I made sure it was upgraded to the latest Stock Rom (and whipped everything)

Really...if rooted i think that doesnt have the problem i think...
If we unlocked the bootloader using Sony official way, doesn't Sony knows it...like Htc unlocked their bootloader...
