Hi, recently I switched from Nexus 5 to Lenovo P2 but the phone I got has bloatware from T-Mobile and they don't seem to hurry with releasing Nougat to my phone
I noticed that in dev setting there's an option to OEM unlock the device, does it unlock the bootloader or just permits me to unlock it manually?
If so, after unlocking all I'll need to do will be just to flash TWRP and that's it?

This option only allows you to unlock it, it doesn't actually unlocks the bootloader
I asked a bootloader unlocking from my device. If after the 14 days period I don't unlock it with fastboot, do you think my warranty is still valid ?
I am thinking oft buying this Phone but rooting is very important to me. What I have found out so far is that you have to unlock your bootloader to install TWRP. Your warranty will officially be void.
Now my question: has sb send his phone to repair in Germany? Does Lenovo really check their database for your phone? And what about this 14 days wait?
Thanks in advance
Hi guys I have doubt, suppose if there is a hardware issue like touch screen problem..having my device unlocked will I be able to claim warranty replacement?

When you unlock the bootloader you give up your warranty rights.
If you want an intact Warranty do not unlock the bootloader.
This my understanding of the situation.
My warranty request was rejected, when i wanted to repair my front speaker. I have OEM unlock. I fixed it on my own.
I have few questions I went to the developer option and requested for unlocking bootloader now there's a wait of 14 days. Does it take exactly 14 days and does my current data will be wiped upon unlocking bootloader? Also can I opt out from unlocking bootloader now? Even though I have made the request already because many people are having touch issues and their warranty is being rejected because of unlocked bootloader.
Thanks

Yes it takes exactly 14 days and your data will be wiped upon warranty. After 14 days, you will still have chance of not unlocking it
Hey guys, I'm new to the Redmi forums, I've been on XDA since 2012 and have been using mainly Xperia devices.
So just had a few doubts regarding this phone(bought it last week)
I read about the procedure to unlock the bootloader and everything.
1. I know unlocking will void my warranty, but can i then relfash stock rom and relock bootloader to show that the bootloader was never unlocked? We could do that in Xperia.
Is it possible to do it now?
2. Will just rooting require the bootloader to be unlocked? And if yes would the warranty be void if I unlocked the bootloader and just root the phone without flashing custom ROMs?
Unlocking bootlader procedure doesn"t void you warranty. At least in Poland
Rooting requires unlocked bootloader. Im not sure about rooting, but you can always flash offcial miui build and its going to unroot your Redmi and relock you bootloader

1. As far as I know the warranty is not void. I have not seen any such warning. But please do check from your end.
2. Rooting will need unlocked bootloader if you are doing it via the recovery. Maybe one click root apps wont. I dunno of any one click root apps for RN5 Pro
Unlocking bootloader don't void warranty of xiaomi phones its confirmed
Changes in rom may void warranty like rooting
But u can again clean flash rom with mi flash restore to factory stage is possible
Hi guys,
I'm using Gingko MIUI11 official with Bootloader unlocked and rooted, also Orange fox installed. As per invoice my device is still under warranty. But as I've unlocked bootloader, give root access also using a custom recovery what should I make sure before visit Service Center. As I'm facing proximity sensor issue and I've troubleshoot and found its hardware issue. So before visiting service center do I need to clean flash official MIUI again, lock bootloader again? Any suggestion please. As its my primary device I just don't want to clean flash. Is there anyway or advice? Or there is nothing to do
Regards
The only way to get back under warranty is to clean flash and relock bootloader

ok i misunderstood, that's what i read
, "Our ROMs were approved by official EU distributor ABC Data to not void warranty for devices sold by them! (Of course, officially unlocked BL and no ROOT installed)"
i remember xiaomi india tweeted : Unlocking bootloader does not breaks warranty

no you cant claim warranty,
you already given root access to RN8,
unlocking dont void warranty but root will surely end warranty

don't try to lock bootloader, you'll brick your device,
just unroot and claim warranty
Ok sorry for so late... I've visited to my nearest Service center and repaired my device and Rooting or Unlocking bootloader doesn't void warranty said by the Xaiomi Service Center. Thanks to all

Firstly don't consider locking the bootloader once you've done any ROM modifications.
Secondly unlocking the bootloader doesn't actually void the warranty on a Xiaomi device so you should be fine. However it's up to the discretion of Xiaomi (i.e if you brick the device then that's your fault)

Why have a chance that I brick that?
Are you sure? I will maybe going to buy this on my country and some people told if I unlock the boot that is void the warranty..
You tried the eu rom?

Look up "Xiaomi China Global bricked". You will find many cases, and not easy to unbrick.

You have to check Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco warranty policy in your country yourself. The regulation varies between countries and regions.
In many countries and regions Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco still have warranty coverage after bootloader unlocked, but there's some exceptions. Check it yourself on the official website.

Just go buy the phone. It is worth it. Xiaomi EU is just as good as the newest chinese rom, and even somehow little better. So you kinda get the best.

But I installing the eu rom for the MI5S in the past and all works fine without bricked..
where is the "dangerous" process?
And maybe unlock the bootloader not void the warranty but if I install the EU rom that is void that?

Relock bootloader with Xiaomi.eu ROM that was based on China ROM in your Global phone is dangerous.
You can try if you dare to risk it on your Poco F3. You have been warned.
The principle is: do not lock bootloader.

Flash stock ROM back into phone, which makes phone looks identical to just after bootloader unlocked, so it's can still be under warranty, if you were able to flash it back.
There are exceptions that will still void warranty, read the policy yourself.
