Unroot to get Warranty back?

Hi Guys ,
can I unroot to get warranty back? Never ever flashed a custom rom nor I unlcoked bootloader.. Furthermroe I want to know If rooting is verfifable?
Thanks in advance!

As long as you don't tell them I guess. However if you need to unlock your bootloader too for any reason they will need to know and thus it will invalidate your warranty. If you just want root etc then it should not be an issue. It's more of a moral issue really. If you do a repair in PC Companion it will return the phone to factory defaults and they should not be able to tell.

btw root doesn't void the warranty..you can still claim the warranty even if your phone is rooted.

Not strictly true, Sony don't recommend rooting hence no official way to root..... So yes you would lose your warranty but flash using pc companion and root is gone.
Unlocking bootloader will lose your warranty either officially our by unofficial ways.

I think that is good place to ask:
how far I can go without touching bootloader? root - ok, I know.
But CWM, flashing zips/ROMs? Yep, there is so many tutorials, for so many versions and cases. I'm unable to read everything and need answer from someone who 'just know it'

even if ur phone is not rooted unlocking bootloader voids ur warranty .. U can always get ur warranty back by flashing generic firmware using flashtool....... And ofcourse u can relock it using flashtool...

hey tigerstylezz..
dude, you can root your phone without unlocking bootloader..and unlocking boot loader voids your warranty,
go to google and search how to root arc s without unlocking bootloader..there will be a forum from androidauthority.com..just go to that one
root your arc s using the method..this will not void warranty or unlock your bootloader..it will still be locked..
so now download a app from the market called xparts..specially made for xperia phones...open it and it will ask for superuser permissions..
select allow..and then install custom recovery using the app..now that you have custom recovery installed, you can now install a few custom roms to your xperia arc s like jelly sanwhich...just skip the flashing kernel part in instructions of installation of rom..now flash rom using custom recovery..unlocking your bootloader only allows you to flash new kernels...so some roms work on stock ics kernel of xperia arc s
some of those roms are..jj's hybrid rom, jelly sandwhich, xperia ice bean and search more roms that work on locked bootloader on arc s on xda forums..and if you wish to unlock your bootloader.. you just do that and then you can unlock it by flashing a .ftf file on your device..just search it on google as xperia arc s relock bootloader.ftf file and download it and flash it through xperia flashtool...
if any problem or a quetion just ask me ...
plzz hit thanks if i helped:cyclops::cyclops:

Flashing zips (which contain themes/mods) with cwm you only need root.
There are very limited roms available that will install with unlocked bootloader,I think only pureness Rom is available, you need unlocked bootloader to install custom kernels which the custom roms support.

Thanks for all the Answers - Yes I know that unlocking Bootloader and Rooting are two different things... I just asked if it is verfifable by Sony if you had rooted your device? Isn´t there any Hidden file saved in the Ramdisk or whether where it saves the Permission Lock? And if not - during the UPDATE Process ON SEUS OR PCCompanion - don´t they SAVE any .Log or something and send it to the Servers, with the IMEI? I knot that I can just usually flash back and things.. Just wanted to know if Sony can find out that I ve rooted ?
BTW: For root .587 I have to flash a kernel (FTF) Downgrade - and then Root - and Upgrade it. So you can Flash Kernels.
I just come from the X10 --> Arc S which is way better I think( Still love the X10 , but Arc S my new love)
@wzordnaec
You can flash Themes etc.. which are realiable to your curent ROm - you can flash MODS , apps everything , that doesnt requires Unlocked bootloader

if you rooted your phone without unlocking the bootloader just flash a clean firmware to get back your warranty
if you unlocked the bootloader then there is no chance to get back your warranty

Hi All,
Nice info.
Although I've been on some scenario where my handset wont boot up, so I cant revert my ROM & relock my bootloader.
Turns out it was hardware failure and after fixing it, the tech guy found I was using custom ROM, hence my waranty were void

nop man. pre-rooted mk4 is zip format and must be flashed from cwm or twrp. if you flash something by odin you get flag trigger and your warranty is void
for the moment forget about odin and flash if you have valid warranty and you whant to keep it

You mean there is no way without triggring KNOX

You don't need to unlock the bootloader in order to root xperia M.
Of course you can take backups and use them to restore your data, thats what they are doing.

yes you can, there is a way in this forum to root. but still some problem after rooting keep showing up.

not sure what makes a50 so problematic to root?
is it android 9 or the device???
everything else is easy to root.
with a50, you can root but have to keep using key combos on boot or lose the root.
don't understand why so difficult with this device.

You need to install twrp first. Follow this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a50/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-a50-t3916199/amp/
That twrp is already patched with magisk in the recovery partition. So if you already flash that twrp into your device, consider you already rooting your phone. :fingers-crossed:

root/unlock information

hello
please looking for information
if I make adb oem unlock, and later I change my mind and want locked back to factory state, can I lock it myself? How?
Also if i root with magisk, will knox be tripped? Can I then wipe phone and reinstall stock firmware non-rooted and everything will be fine again?
Just wondering, wanna try custom roms and stuff, but want to be able to get phone to factory working state afer all that.. Looking for informations please

This isn't a thing. There is an OEM Unlocking toggle in Developer Options that can be enabled; once this is done, the bootloader can be unlocked.

Yes, you can relock the bootloader, just make sure you flash back to factory firmware. Locking the bootloader on custom firmware can brick your device.

Yes. Any custom or modified firmware image will trip Knox. This includes Magisk patches and TWRP.

You can re-lock the bootloader as I described above, but once Knox is tripped, it will be tripped forever and cannot be reset.

It's sorta a one-way trip. Although you can flash back to stock and relock the bootloader, Samsung security features won't work if Knox is tripped. This means you won't be able to use Samsung Pay or other apps that depend on Knox.

if by rooting i wil trip knox and later i cant get phone to factory state with knox not tripped , then im afraid that rooting samsung is a no option for me...thanks for replys

if I unlock BL and root, after that is it possible to get device to factory state aagain? with knox not tripped .
