Oneplus 3 community build - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

I wanted to ask if flashing the oneplus 3 community builds would void your accidental damage protection and warranty or not. Also if it needs unlocked bootloader, if so will unlocking erase your data.

They offer warranty but RMA takes a lot of time ...
But mos of the problems are software issues. A user is able to fix them.

i tried everything and it did not work.
some people got theirs bricked after trying to flash some rom found on forums

3.5.2 is not bugged at all. Just needs new firmware updates and a modified twrp which you can find on these forums before you install the new community build.
I'm on 3.5.2 and went back to orionos and then back to 3.5.2. It just requires more steps...

I just have to wonder, how you made it to XDA, and then in the general forum, managed to scroll past the resources, roms, and kernels sticky thread and posted this.
That's like standing under a waterfall and being like "yo, where is the water?"

I traded in my rooted phone because I had issues with the headphone port and t-mobile didn't care about Knox tripped.
you won't miss out on much warranty coverage if you root your phone.
if you're that paranoid, rooting's not for you mate
I have voided Knox and I installed Phil's recovery but my phone bootloops.

I've got to agree - I bought mine from Value Basket, advertised as an EU version but the IMIE is for a Singapore carrier and because of that I can't unlock the bootloader, hence I'm stuck with a fantastic phone with good, but not brilliant firmware and no way to flash my favourite CFW's.

Easy there! That's not how things work around here. Also, it's not that developers wouldn't try. People worked on it and may still be working on a solution. Maybe, next time you buy a new phone, make sure you don't spend hundreds of dollars on a device you can't unlock or where it's uncertain whether it'll be unlockable or not. After all, you're a "flashaholic".
Shameful post(op)
Well thank to you sir for contributing and not asking for anything.

I feel your frustration, though (misguided), you need to read a bit about unlocking the bootloader for many of the G4 models.
You are not the only one that feels as you do. You certainly do not need to be rude about your frustration, furthermore blaming people on XDA is wrong. XDA users had nothing to do with locking the bootloader.
BTW you are correct there is a donation thread somewhere.Why not learn how to develop and be the one that could do what no other could:good:
There are enough rant threads already out there, no need to keep this afloat.
PS thanks for being a member of XDA and I look forward to your development

No need to see into the future. You just need to think harder. LG is known for locking down devices. Why bother with the risk of ending up with a locked down device? Besides, I'm not dragging you anywhere. You just like the feeling of being the victim. Get a grip already!

Well see I know that lg lock some device's I have had a few lg device's g3,g4,gflex2 and now just made a MISSILE out of the g4 because sick of being told that there may be a unlocking available for the g4. I all so sick of people saying that the only root for g4 is root injection it would not work for me so now only got my gflex 2. So very soon I will look at the g4 again now knowing what I need to look for.
The way I see it with out boot loader unlocking there is no root for the g4........ok ranting over good night

Well the root works really well, though you have to be using L. Even xposed works with flash fire, so really its not a big deal. If they at least root M I will be even happier.
Of course unlocked bootloader would be ideal but I am happy with root.

Why do you assume I don't know about custom roms? I do know a lot and tried many of them on different devices. Some are great some are buggy.
Truth is LG rom is very stable and with root, exposed, launcher I can get it very close to pure android experience. So root is still very important.
Don't get me wrong, I still want an unlcoked bootloader.
Unlocked bootloader will extend the life of the device.

Should I install MM beta on my 551ML?

Since the release for MM has been delayed, I'm thinking of upgrading to the beta instead.
I'm on stock firmware, no root, only a few disabled apps that I never use.
What's your suggestion? People that upgraded to MM beta and weren't rooted, what was your experience?
Not really.
Wouldn't recommend upgrading to a beta build especially if it's your daily driver.
*continues using CM13 nightlies on main phone*
I installed MM Beta 3 days ago and haven't had a problem with it so far. I had heard that some members reported bricking their devices. Nothing negative to report here so far.

There's been a lot of bricked phones with people doing that. Do it if you want. But know what you could be in for!

all issues you have in cm 13 you also have in mm beta for me non working Ingress forced to get back and get bricked till i found a working unbrick procedure..
if you are rooted, the bootloader ist locked again...
If you dont mind living without proxymity, light and rotation sensors, then yes, is a fine build.

I bricked mine.
Luckily i managed to unbrick after 1 long day of troubleshooting. Its a long drawn process and very complex.
Do it at your risk. And u can't root with MM beta.
I installed MM beta the first day I found it here, and have had ZERO bugs whatsoever - and we can root the MM beta now. The procedure is here in XDA

No warranty when flashing custom ROMs - Support says?

Hi,
i contacted support because of random reboots, which are not ROM related.
When asking for what to do, the support recommends me this:
Since you have manually flash your phone this will be automatically Out of Warranty once it gets to our service center. What we can do is to prevent or save your device from sending it for a repair. I would suggest to take advantage in doing a remote session and try to fix your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So ? Now im Out of Warranty because of using a custom ROM? I dont understand it. I thought Oneplus is fine when using a custom ROM. Anyone can explain?
Thanks
UPDATE FROM SUPPORT: Looks like everything OK when flashing custom OS on Oneplus devices:
I understand that there's a confusion regarding the warranty of the phone. I would just like to clarify to you that as long as there is no physical damage on the device, it will still be covered by our warranty. However, if a certain process like flashing an unofficial OS which triggers an issue in the hardware, it will actually cause the phone to fall out of warranty. But, again it will depend on the result of the investigation once the phone is sent for repair.

Easy solution:
Flash the stock firmware and send it to the service center for warranty repair. Random reboots are a typical bug found in custom rom nightlies. I would refuse to repair it too Be smart and set it back to stock before sending it to the service center. You'll be fine And you'll have no trouble.
Flash stock Rom nd recovery and Relock bootloader then go Service centre...???

Unlocking & rooting doesn't void warrenty according to Xiaomi policy.
If you install custom recovery and custom ROM it will void warrenty.
And pls clarify your questions next time.and you should ask these type of questions in miui forum.
