If I root my mobile, do I lose my warranty? if so why because it only changes the software layer.
Because they can.
Sucks don't it.
By the way. A void warranty does NOT affect your statutory rights.
Un-rooting is easy enough, if you ever need to send it back.

The problem with that is that the reason you will want to claim on your warranty is because your phone has failed in some way. Often, that failure can mean you can't unroot.
However, in my experience, HTC don't check the firmware of completely dead devices.

mmhhh...if i flash my original o2 ruu rom (from the o2 site) i lost custom recovery and also i have to root it again with unrevoked 3..!!??
with kind regards...Alex
Unfortunately for Telus users, there's no way to return back to stock. There is currently no 2.1 RUU for SLCD screens, let alone a specific one to telus.
I had some dead pixels on my Telus Desire, it was rooted, and i just exchanged it in store and noone even turned it on. I doubt you will ever encounter any trouble, as most of the front end staff won't know what rooting looks like.
i have problem with camera
when i open camera to take picture,it will close right away
or the camera screen will just blank
any apps (intagram) that use camera also not working

what exactly the problem with this camera?

wait
its not working againnnnnnnn
Bump
anyone?
this effect usually happens if you at some point installed a camera mod and then reverted to stock.
wipe your phone and install a RUU to be completely stock and try again.
if it doesn't work, it's hardware.

Yes it will void parts of your warranty. Custom roms will improve your Android experience but if your not tech savvy I wouldn't bother, you could possibly have a hardware issue so I would call in your warranty and let htc fix it

RUU=custom rom?
i contact htc already,they will pick up my phone 28/8 for repair
before that,i wan to try repair it myself first
If you've got HTC collecting it already, why worry about a custom ROM in the meantime?
If you're not sure on what it involves, you can make a mess of your phone.
Wait and get it repaired / replaced?

like i said
htc only pickup the phone on 28/8
more than 10 days i have to wait
so back to the question
what wrong with my camera?
and
ruu void waranty?
No stock ruu won't but you will need to find out your cid using adb and find the correct ruu for your cid. If you get the wrong one you will have a bad flash and probably will be unable to use your phone
You need to research it if you f**k it up htc will be billing you for repair and their not cheap

You don't seem experienced with using ROMs so I really wouldn't try and fix this yourself. Installing a RRU still requires the relatively risky task of using ROMs — and HTC will most likely reject your phone when they take it for repairs or charge fees.
Did you install a third-party camera app before this problem started? If so, wiping the app's data and/or trying a factory reset is pretty much all you can do. Anything more is going to involve voiding your warranty and messing around with things that could cause even more problems.
If the problem came out of nowhere, it is very possible a hardware fault. It does happen, and there's nothing you can do about it except let HTC repair it. This is why it's not wise to use custom ROMs until you've had the phone for a while, just in case a fault appears.
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.

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?

But definately return it to stock as much as poss, using the RUU or flashing the stock images 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.

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

I think they will reflash stock ROM without even looking at what you have installed. I had CM installed when I sent my bricked phone, I thought they won't repair it because warranty was void, but they didn't look, just replaced the chipset and flashed stock ROM.

oh then your warranty void now because you have cm10 installed so they ll know you rooted phone.where i live,htc service center valid warranty wheather my bootloader is locked,unlocked because they said sometimes when we replaced pcb,sometimes some pcb comes from different countries so they are factory locked or unlocked.but your stock rom and recovery is madatory.once i have same problem like you and i tried many times to unroot and getting back my stock rom but accidently i bricked my phone but i have stock rom and recovery so their replaced my pcb.
anyways now you ll probably get new pcb so stock rom is in it,but if you ll get your back with cm10 tell me i ll upload stock rom(flashable zip from cwm recovery).
I knew, that i wouldn't hide it from them but install of stock Rom would be some kind of proof, that this problem isn't software related and make sure they won't dismiss me.

Is it possible to go all natural back to stock and claiming Warranty back ? If yes, can u send me a link for Thread where i can follow the steps ? Thanks!
that yellow spot should be fixed by HTC even if you have custom rom...just go back to stock and send it in...but don't ask how to go back to stock there are several threads
