I bought my HTC one X a few months ago, and i rooted it as soon as i got the device. I did not test any part of the phone, and now, it turns out that my camera is faulty. Is there some way to get my warranty back?
Thank you very much.

I think if you have just root and have supersu app you can unroot from superuser app options, and when you rooted you flashed TWRP or CWM recovery so you need also to reverse to stock recovery, but to find stock recovery need more info, your CID and sw main-version to find matching stock recovery.img! And you also can relock bootloader after doing all that that i was mentioned!
But warranty depends from country to country so..maybe you dont need revert to stock at all, some members didnt and repair service didnt ask anything!

Hey thanks for replying
I have done all those, but on my bootloader, it says "RELOCKED". Will that have an affect? is there a way to get rid of that?
Nope....they will always see that your bootloader was unlocked before. So basically getting warranty is a guess. If its a real hardware problem you will get warranty, but if they can prove it was software then you probably won't
Everything like Mr Hofs said..."RELOCKED" status is fixed for now...and when you unlocked bootloader unfortunately you agree for new warranty condition..
I really hope that htc will fix my phone because my radio is stuffing up too
If thats the case, ill just have to bring the phone in and see what happens
thanks for your help people
Hey, I was wondering if Chainfire's autoroot would cause a factory reset or any type of wipe on the phone? I know that for some phones, when the root is an exploit it doesn't wipe anything. I'm not sure if Chainfire's method is an exploit or not though.
Secondly, he says to be on the stock recovery. Once the rooting process is completed, I can install whichever recover I wish right? I assume TWRP is the best one to do? Or are there any known issues with certain recoveries for this device?
Thanks!

It won't...but make sure to make a back up of anything on your phone to your pc like picture, music and so on.
Do a factory reset before rooting to eliminate some problem. That what I did and so far everything is good.
The KNOX meter will turn from 0x0 to 0x1 because of rooting.
And finally use TWRP latest version like everyone does...

Oh yes, that was another question that I forgot to ask. Would Samsung deny insurance claims on a broken phone, or deny warranty coverage from root? I know "technically" they can but do you think they would if it's a hardware issue?
Is there a way to reverse this and unroot the phone if needed?

You can go back to stock via ODIN but the KNOX will be the same at 0x1 I believed. I'm not sure if there is a way to revert back to zero maybe in the near future once the smart devs here can figure it out.
Samsung will void the warranty...but TMobile maybe NOT because some people here already exchange their phone like 2 or 3 times already due to some issue with rooting and so on...

Chainfire's CF-Autoroot will not touch or delete any of your files.
Including pictures, videos. contacts, data, mms, apps or anything else.
There is absolutely no need to backup anything before rooting with
CF-Autoroot or with any other rooting method.
TWRP recovery is excellent, in fact that's what I use it all the time.
Also none of the rooting methods including CF-Autoroot" will do a "factory reset".
The only thing any of the rooting methods do is ROOT the phone and nothing else.
Good luck....

Nope. Triangle away is for resetting the binary flash count. Knox is an efuse built into the chipset. There is no known way to reset it.... Yet

The T-Mobile Note 3 does not have FRP; however, it may have reactivation lock enabled.
Hi all
I have a small issue. I have a M8 which I love great device. I managed to gain full Sim Unlock via S-Off, Super Cid and a guide on here.
I flashed back to my Stock back up that does not have root and flashed stock recovery.
At work we Use a MDM call Mobile Iron to gain access to emails. Since doing all of this my device is never compliant due to the system thinking something is up with my device. Now since I think I am back at stock for my device it should be.
I am trying to find a Stock RUU to see if it helps. I have locked the boot loader again and removed the Tampered flag. But still the same issue. Any ideas ?

Hi, did you manage to get around this? I am in a similar situation, but the HTC has yet to arrive..
Just don't root it. I found that Super SU apk was in a app folder .I deleted this and was all good

Yes it worked as long as it was not rooted .
Did someone try to root the G3 with Towelroot?
http://towelroot.com/
Yes, it will. Even on the S5 without tripping KNOX. Just try it yourself, no risk involved. I haven`t tried it myself but i`am absolutely sure it will get you root.
Good to know.
I should get my G3 next week so I will definitely use it.
Thanks.

Just confirmed with my international D855 unit.
Works flawlessly. Tested with Root checker and Titanium backup.
Still dazed as to how this works... possibly the fastest root method ever! :good:

Appearently its a vulnurability in all android kernels that are build before june 3rd that lets the exploit do its work and install root during the boot sequence without beeing detected.
Yes. It's amazing. This guy have a great talent. He just left the iOS system and went for Android (He developed the iOS Jailbreak). Now Chainfire and other good developers here have competition
Working good

Yes, it works with all android devices atm and a data factory reset or flashing a factory image will unroot.

I've never worried about the 'warranty voided' stories. If software could physically damage a device then the device is poorly made. I had three different rooted Samsung that failed due to the 'sudden death syndrome'. They were all fixed under warranty. Never heard of anyone having problems with warranty on a rooted device - only urban myths!

Rooting has always voided warranty. .. There were just ways to return it to stock like it was never rooted.

Not with my rooted phones - any that died or had faults have always been fixed under warranty - going right back to the 'Hero'. If I buy a brand name Windows PC, wipe the hard disk and install Linux, the manufacturer still has to honour their hardware warranty under EU law. Same with mobiles/phones/tablets.
Maybe North American consumer protection laws are not as good as those here in Europe.
For instance, in the EU we can return anything we buy via mail order for a full refund within 14 days for any reason under the 'distance selling' regulations. Goods bought in shops or via mail order also have to be of 'merchantable quality'. As it currently stands, EU customers could obtain a full refund for the LG G3 as it does not work reliably with the Google Chromecast. This is probably why Samsung fixed a similar problem with a software patch when some of their devices had the same problem.

Sucessfully rooted my D855 using Towelroot as well.Tested with root checker and adblock to verify it's working.
One problem I had was when I installed SuperSU,it says need to have binary updated.However,when I clicked "Normal"..it says installation failed?

Doing so removes your root access (as you expect) but your device will still refuse to install OTA's

I think you need to reboot and run it again. This time for me, it didn't ask me for a binary update. Just started working. Try it.

OK so I can unroot with SuperSu, the only disadvantage is no OTA, and to unroot with OTA I'd need to perform factory reset, right? How to do it?
After Factory reset,
Do LG backup app restore the whole rom with settings and apps, please?

Yes..it works now!And Hello from yr fellow Singaporean!!
So Friday i went to verizon and bought me a new LG G3 phone, 32G memory 3G RAM, you know the good **** LOL. Well when i got home i wanted to root the phone but when i looked it up there was many options, IOROOT, TowelRoot, and Stump Root. So i tried towel root on the phone but when i clicked the button towel root said my device isnt compatible and my phones build is the VS98510B. So at that point i decided to try IOROOT. When i launched the batch file i made sure i made myself a developer, got the proper drivers, made it connect via usb and set the phone connection to Ethernet. Well in the batch file it said everything was good and that i just needed to click any button to continue well i did that but when i clicked a button it simply closed the batch file. All i clicked was the space bar and it closed. Stump root isnt compatible and im afraid to use bruteforce mode. Any one got any help with this? Andriod Kitkat 4.4.2
Use the brut force method in stump. Takes about 5 minutes.

I used stump root. My phones still works. You can't install twrp because bootloader is still locked, have to wait for a way to unlock it.

Read a bit here TWRP is a recovery and backup software for when you flash a custom ROM.. You're not flashing any custom ROMs just yet.. So... I don't think you need to backup anything just yet. After you root the phone you can use TWRP to backup your current stock ROM .. Good luck ..
:good:
I used ioroot with no problems. Check out this vid, pretty straight fwd on what you need to do.

My pleasure Hope you can find root using the desired software.. I'm in Korea..using the F400k but the latest update (v10l) couldn't find root using any of the available tools.. so.. I had to downgrade to the previous (v10g) and got root again. :victory:
