1) if i root my device will I lose the warranty? Cause apparently the device is unlocked..
2) what is the safest way to root the device?
3) if the root fails and i break my phone.. Will i be able to send it to the company to repair it?
Update:
About the unlock thingy...
4) does having the h815 version means that it is unlocked? If not.. Then my phone is still locked and is under warranty...
If your phone is already unlocked u have already void your warranty
And if u root and thay find out then your warranty is void
Trick is to unroot before u send it.
But if u experience the famous bootloop then u are in for a bummer

Hey guys, i wouldnt really open this question but i've tried nearly everything and all of them failed. I got this phone like 5 days ago from germany so its international one. with the official updates, i updated my device to JB(4.1.1) but now i cant root it in anyway. And i cant go in to recovery, it shows a phone under a big red caution logo. i dont want to unlock my bootloader because i just got this phone and i dont want to void the warranty. if you know any way how i can root or unlock bootloader without voiding warranty please let me know.
programs i used:
RootBootV3
Hasoon2000's all in one kit
Unlock Root
Simon's htc utility ( was trying to unlock bootloader without htcdev)
Bin4ry's restore with root
super one click v2.3.3
root-one-x
these are the ones i remember please help!
It's unfortunately impossible to root without unlocking bootloader.
And impossible to unlock bootloader without voiding warranty.

Depending on where in the world you purchased your phone, you can often rely on consumer protection laws, typically they make the retailer responsible for hardware defects, not the manufacturer.
Hi there
I had to send my HOV for warranty repairs.
Now it comes a question - is required any special procedure to root it again?
Bootloader is already re-locked of course.

My phone is not rooted I've checked. It's unlocked but I'm not sure if it's by Sprint or some other method coz look at these screenshots weird right. Btw I got this update and I'm not sure weather to update or not coz I don't want to lose my unlock in case it relock to Sprint, any help appreciated thanks
Simple way to find out if was ever rooted, put phone in download mode and check knox warranty void status
it says binary official and knox is void
should i update???

No point on flashing or updating, knox is void and samsung pay won't work anymore on devices that have tripped knox
If I update will it relock?
Depends the way it was unlocked , I did mine on a remote service and didn't relocked after any update

Thats the thing i dont know how it was unlocked but i reckon it shouldnt relock cause it says official status and works with non-sprint sim. I bought it second hand thats why i dont know.
I updated and it did not relock hew

Hi can you tell me how to unlock bootloader .. I am ok if it voids my warranty
Go to about phone in settings, tap build number 5 or more times (i dont know how many exactly). Go back to settings list, go to developer settings, go to unlock bootloader, follow instructions.
