Asurion insurance

I cracked my sgs2 screen today and used the asurion insurance to replace my phone I was curious if I should flash back to stock before sending my phone to them. I know flashing custom Roms voids warranty but that is that only with Samsung or with the insurance program too.

Ive sent to T-mobile and neither did they.

Could also vouch for T-mobile not caring. Sent in a bricked phone with CM once for a warranty exchange, no negative consequences.

Wow I always thought T-Mobile would deny warranty claims if they saw the bootloader flash counter being tripped.

Trade in rooted device at tmobile store?

Can we be able to do that or do I need to un root it?

Try it and let us know what happens. ...
But seriously, if you do some more research, youll find that 99% of the folks will tell you to put it back to stock to cover yourself and also so you dont run into any issues....+ its easy to do

You can also just Odin it and it will be factory fresh and with no root
Correct me if I'm wrong

Yep, only thing to check is your flash counter. Depending on how op rooted it could be tripped. Just boot into download mode and check it. If it's tripped use triangle away app.

Well I format the phone by accident and it was just stuck on bootloader and they still took it for full trade in but I know I got screwed but oh well I still use my note 2 from sprint

But I think even if you didn't format or unroot, they well still send back to factory reset themselves and the T-Mobile reps in store aren't exactly tech savvy

I agree with above posts to put back on stock to be safe....but I did buy the nexus 4, unlocked it, rooted it, and returned it within 2 hours (speaker and screen were horrible) and returned with aokp on it. They didn't even turn the screen on to check. Nor have I had T-Mobile give me any crap for it since. It's been 2 months so I think I'm clear lol

Can you use the factory reset to un-root the phone?

AT&T and rooted devices

Came from sprint and their policy on rooting was they will support the hardware not software even with root what is AT&T policy for rooted devices?

Short and sweet: they won't support it. I've never heard them make that distinction. Wish they would but its easy to flash back to show as if it never was

Ya it's almost stupid it's so simple just wanted to know if they had a stance one way or another thanks for the input

I had to take back my old captivate so I flashed back to stock and they swapped it with no issues. You are right, its a small pain but it works.

Rooting the phone

I just got this phone and I did the jump plan. But I have a question with the rooting. If I root will that void my jump plan. And once I root, I can't in root again? Thank you in advance

Perhaps because you didn't bother doing a little searching and reading...

Flash counter question

Why is anyone worried about resetting the flash counter that goes up each time we use Odin?
Other than maybe trying to get a replacement on warranty?

Its for Warranty.

Besides warranty if counter advances the ota pushed by service provider on phone wont install. Reads as custom on phone.
