The consequences of rooting

For exemple; Whould the Swype function disapear?
Whould my currently existing Guarrantee disapear? (In the thoughts that the phone goes broke)
Any risks according to the health of the phone?
I have no experience at all in this subject as you may see.
At last, why are you rooting, whats the most positive thing about rooting? (except that the phone is totally controlled by your own needs)

No, the swype function won't disappear if you root.
If you're talking about warranty, well, it depends. Some stores still acknowledge warranties even if a phone's rooted, and some don't.
Risks? Well there's bricking your phone in the process, but it's gonna be almost impossible if you just read, read, and read instructions/posts about rooting before doing so.
Rooting gives you all the access to your phone. After rooting, you can install apps that greatly improves your battery like juice defender and freeze bloatwares using titanium backup. You can also install custom roms that is better than the stock rom which can improve performance of your phone. (made by the most awesome devs here in xda)
If you're super bored with your phone and you feel that it needs a face lift, ROOT it! It's gonna be legen... wait for it... dary!

2 days ago i installed almost latest open rom and after new rom installed i made update by OTA. I also rooted my I8150 because its damn easy. The most problem for me is to get info about which one files i can delete or freeze by Titanium to not destroy the system. Maybe someone can help me ?

İ have questions about rooting too.
Will rooting with unlockroot.com will increase the flash
counter?
İ cannot ask it to the releated forum because i am new user.
Thanks for any help.
Regards,

Don't take my words for granted since I'm pretty new too,but afaik only flashing custom roms increase that counter. And there's a way to reset it

Best bet is to take the insurance from your carrier if something happens claim and pay deductible. It can go from $50-$200 depending on your device, if you are under your 30 days warranty you can exchange or return it no questions asked... rooting will not harm your phone, is flashing new roms and specially new kernels you have to pay very close attention to what you do!
The only way you will trip Odin counter is when you flash the stock firmware using odin and download mode, the newest devices will not reset its counter even with a USB jig like the Samsung gs2 skyrocket.

İ understand now.
Thanks for the reply's.

[Q] Are we really breaking our warranty?

Hi everyone, here's my doubt.
With custom ROMS, root, flash of a new recovery, etc. are our warranties void?
If I break my phone, also only hardware, it will get replaced?

Maybe it depend of samsung country regulation
If the IMEI not change and the date warranty still valid you can proceed the warranties.
And if your phone broke it not will replace with new phone but only the hardware

Yes we are breaking software warranty, but with wipes and resets you can make it look like it has never been touched

Thanks for the info.

But there's the flash counter or something that they can check to determine whether we've been flashing custom ROMs. I still wonder whether they actually do check at those counter when accepting faulty phones for warranty. I suppose we can always act like "Flash?? Wth is that? I don't know what you're talking about!".

If we restore our stock rom *somehow* maybe they'll think we didn't hack it.
Maybe there 's a permanent log file?

Correct...
If you do full wipe from stock recovery, there is no log file
It will be like a new fresh from the market..

Confused about rooting

Hi Folks, I got my N7105 a couple a days ago, and would like to root it, I dit that stuff before whit my I9000, flashed several custom roms
and never had any issues. Now, they more I read about rooting my new divice, they more confused I get,
I just want to root so I can use Titanium Bakup and other apps, I wont flash some custom rom's just yet, in case there is a hardware problem
and I have to use the warranty, and there is nowhere a stock rom for my carrier, Testra Australia, to find.
So, that is what I intend to do: root by using this methode: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955423 using opion 2,
maby later install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028103
I know there is always a risk in doing stuff like this, but do I have to fear that my IEMI could get lost or somthing like that ?
Is it possible to make IMEI backup befor rooting ?
Thanks
sorry for my bad english...

Wrong forum.

if youre not comfortable yet on rooting your phone then stick with stock first. this is the common reason why people are having bigtime problems with their phones when they do root and not that comfortable at it..

Thanks for your advise, I feel more comfortable... I know there is a wery low risk in rooting.. but you never know...
I will give it a go....

Look through the forums. There are threads stickied as the first posts that tell you how to return your phone back to stick (ie, out of box condition). It can be done, and once done, it would be really hard to tell that you did anything at all.

how safe is to change rom?

I just got my note 8t and I miss having root and a custom rom, but I'm scared of voiding the warranty on a new phone. What do you recommend? What would you do?

Everytime I got brand new phone I always unlock bootloader install custom recovery and root. If you dont have any defect hardware, having warranty didnt do anything for you, you can relock bootloader back, incase you wanna sell it or something.
As long you follow the guide carefully and DO NOT cross flashing or flashing unknown package/firmware you didnt know what for is, its pretty safe.

I mean it's safe if you do it step by step. I do it on every phone I own. For me warranty is not my thing, I barely drop my phone and I've never experienced any hardware problems in my life...
It's about you. What do you want ? :silly:
