I have to send in the tablet to Asus for repair. Can they detect that I rooted, unlocked the boot loader, and installed a custom ROM if I flash the stock images and relock the boot loader?

No, they can't, as there are no tamper flags on the N7. The only Nexus device that uses tamper flags is the N5, but even those are easily reset.

Great info. Asus claims on the phone they can tell and that warranty will be voided. But many members here claim they've never had any issues with a rejection. Now getting their actual problems resolved is a whole other issue!

You will lose cwm and root. Doesn't unlock your boot loader. But its easy to use fast boot to return everything back or use gnex tool to do it for you. Its stickied in the development section .

The factory images from Google are not pack properly for use with CWM. I plan to do it as soon as I have some spare time, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
To use fastboot, your bootloader needs to be unlocked. Yes, you will lose all your data (including /sdcard) if you unlock. And yes, you will lose root if you flash the factory images ,but it doesn't matter, as getting root back with an unlocked bootloader is trivial. Same thing with CWM, getting it back is trivial.

Can't use fastboot with a locked bootloader.
But if he is already unlocked his boot loader. Fast boot won't be a problem for him ( unless he is rooted without unlocking the boot loader using your method efrant.

You can flash the image from Google, your bootloader will stay unlocked. The only reason for you to lock the bootloader is to send it for repairs. Other than a hardware malfunction, you can fix anything that happens to your gnex. Everything can be done with fastboot or if you're new. The gnex tool software.
Okey Thanks you at all

Can someone tell me the process for returning stock 4.0.4 from rooted and unlocked JB 4.1 for warranty...
Flash stock, unroot, lock boot?

Done did it, thanks guys.
I am wondering if I flash a stock ROM to my Gnex, will it void the warranty?
Thanks!
You'll have to unlock the boot loader in order to flash so I'm assuming yes.

Let me make this clear (Hopefully),
In order to flash ANY ROMs, you have to either boot into or flash the custom recovery (Such as TWRP or Clockworkmod). In order to do that, you need to unlock your bootloader. If you unlock your bootloader, you will void your warranty. SO the answer is yes.
HOWEVER, If you EVER need to send it to Samsung, you just need to flash the stock ROM, radio, etc (If you ever need to go back to stock, Efrant has an amazing thread about it), and then just re-lock your bootloader. Then, you'll get your warranty back. Beauty of Nexus devices if you ask me.
OK I am glad that someone will explain it very well for people like me.

Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
hi, I just recently aquired the Nexus 7 2013 model, and I am currently not rooted. I want to root but I dont want to run CM or all the other custom roms. I just want a stock rooted rom.
Is there a stock rooted 4.4.2 rom for this device?
That is all, thanks!
There is one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563017
You will need a custom recovery in order to flash it!
Or you can just flash the SuperSU zip in recovery and it'll be rooted

You will need to unlock the bootloader first before flashing a root zip. Then you will have a stock rooted ROM. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XM3CBtAaoWU

I'm curious. I've never used a device with a locked bootloader. Since this tablet is about to get the 4.4.3 update, will unlocking the bootloader affect the update? Will I still receive the update.
I'm planning on unlocking the bootloader but not flashing the rootzip yet until I get the update.

Yes, you will still receive the OTA. Having an unlocked bootloader has no effect on updating via OTA.
You could just root and then re-lock the bootloader

That won't work. If you relock the bootloader everything has to be stock.
It would just refuse to lock

Only recovery needs to be stock to relock the bootloader, you can unlock, root and then relock - then you have rooted stock ROM and a locked bootloader without having to flash a custom recovery or ROM.

Are you sure? This wasn't the case with my Motorola Xoom. I thought everything needs to be stock, wouldn't this defeat the point of relocking since its meant to be factory settings for warranty purposes?

Have done it on both my N7 and N5 - does provide a small measure of security for the phone (my company allows rooted devices, but only with locked bootloaders) see http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/help/info-understanding-risks-unlocked-t1898664
after rooting - fastboot oem lock

fair enough, I stand corrected! Didn't know you could re-lock a rooted device.
So could you flash OmniROM, flash stock recovery and re-lock?

From what I understand, yes, that is correct - although I have heard that some ROMs require a custom recovery

Hi
I'd like to know if you void the warranty, unlocking the bootloader and rooting the Nexus 5X and if the process is completely reversible or not

Warranty stays intact. Yes, the bootloader unlock and root process is reversible.
