is it possible, without invalidating warranty (easy to go back unroot)?

Well, this is my first Xiaomi phone and i got like 3 weeks ago. I saw the MIUI 10 Global Beta Rom and i just wanted to check it out but for that i need to unlock my bootloader and I'm not sure if it's going to void my warranty or not.
Please guys how do I unroot Mi A2 lite so as to get my warranty back and apply system updates?. After unrooting, can I still use Gcam?
Backup your data.
Do a fastboot install but run flash_all_and_lock (or whatever the MiFlash equivalent is)
Restore your data.
You don't need to do this to take OTAs.
You may not get warranty even if you relock bootloader (not sure if it's possible to identify a previously unlocked bootloader). Depends on your local service policy.
I'm fairly certain all the gcam versions need root...
If I use ADB to remove bloatware on the F3, will I lose my warranty? Is the Xiaomi ADB official (from Xiaomi)? Do I also lose my warranty if I unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM? If not does Xiaomi say so on their website? What is the difference between using ADB and just deleting them manually? Thanks!
You will not use your warranty by using adb to remove bloatware. However you do waver your warranty by unlocking the bootloader to put a custom ROM on it. However you can theoretically still get a replacement despite this wavering of a warranty

Thanks! What do you mean theoretically? Can I just install MIUI again and lock the bootloader and sent it for warranty, without them finding out that I unlocked it?

You should be find. I have never had a Xiaomi and so didn't know how supportive they are. The official advice by Xiaomi is here:
What do you need to know about unlocking?
First and foremost you can only unlock your own device. This means the unlocking tool you downloaded must be logged in with the same Mi account on your device. One Mi account could only unlock one device within 30 days
Isn't locking bootloader against Mi's 'geek' spirit?
Locking bootloader is aimed to provide a better user experience, which we've been trying to do the whole time. In the meantime, we've provided an unlocking tool for senior users who know their ways around flashing and tweaking their devices.
The unlocking procedure will need Internet access to get the unlocking password. Also, the Mi Account logged in on the Mi phone and the unlocking tool needs to be the same. Otherwise, the unlocking request will be denied. This will ensure that ill-intentioned people will not get access to your personal data.

And that's where I come in.
I sent my Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro as a guarantee having had the precotion of flashing the global rom and re-locking the bootloader (I had a problem with my antenna, I received nothing).
They supported my Mi 9T Pro without any problem
Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to reflash a bricked Mi 10T Lite. It boots into Fastboot mode, but bootloader is locked.
That was be very hard. Firs way it to risk 10,15e and go to mi community ,I can give you person who can flash your ROM with authorized account..
The other way is to open back cover and EDL point. To be able to get connection between PC and Mi flash tools..
Try to do some research and in mean while I will try find this contract with authorized and send you Pm.
The third thing is service centar but I did recommended you.. they will literally restore you phone and in the end they will do.
I bad have bad experience.
So I seat ,two weeks exploring and if you read carefully,you will learn and fix your phone.
TRU
ALL YOU NEED TO READ CAREFULLY AND WRITE DOWN IMPORTANT THINGS.
GOOD LOCK!
Recently I've been having terrible battery life and I've read that people are having better experience after updating to miui 14. Is there an official way to do that, because I still have one year left of warranty and I really don't want to unlock bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty and you can re-lock it after flashing.
Mi Unlock and Miflash are official Xiaomi tools.
