[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It shouldn't but it does, even in the EU, OEM's successfully manage to deny warranty based on root.

Root on a Linux system is different to root on an android device though. You're not flashing firmware onto the motherboard of a linux PC and if you are, this is OEM provided anyway.

Once you have root on an android phone, you have acces to do so much more (which although root itself doesn't give you) enables you to flash teh radio stack and other partitions that if done incorrectly, can brick your phone.

If you flash an OEM BIOS on a PC, and it bricks it, they'll repair it because they provided what you flash on it. With Android, the development community works well outside the confines of the Android OS. Basebands, recoveries, bootloaders.

Can root itself break the phone? No. Should warranty be refused on the basis of root alone? No. If I have a faulty USB port, my root status is irrelevant.

However, as an OEM, I would like to be protected against people bricking their device through their own stupidity. I don't want to have to pay to give John Smith a new device because he flashed a Note 2 recovery on his S3.

So the middle ground should be... As an OEM if you are unable to provide evidence that root caused the failure - warranty not void. However, if you can prove the CPU was fried due to overclocking - warranty void!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahtsiz_bedevi:
Exactly!!!

I'm OK with these incorrect flash procedures but they refuse everything including manufacturing faults. That's not fair!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Often two warranty's for a phone .

One the phone vendors warranty .

Two a manufacturers extra warranty ..

Samsung offer a limited 24 months warranty and unless they are the phone vendor i do not believe EU laws apply s to this extra warranty .

Where a user may be right in the EU claiming the phone vendor should honour the warranty on a rooted phone . The problem is compounded by the vendor sending the phone to Samsung for warranty repairs . Samsung then say it does not match our terms and conditions for warranty repairs .

But no matter how many users say the law says root is ok Samsung reply no and no user has yet stood up and challenged either the vendor or Samsung .

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnj0:
Hey guys,

I have a Telus unlocked S5830D

I rooted, installed an app on the market callled Galaxy Ace Unlock and proceeded to unlock my Ace.

Unlocked just fine (or so I thought). The phone is completely unlocked, but I cannot get a signal.

The IMEI is still on my ace, so that's okay i hope.

Anyhow, I thought maybe installing CWM and Flashing AOKP might help my situation.

Same thing here - no signal. (I'm using a Rogers SIM)

My own conclusion is that Unlocking messed up the efs folder (I did NOT do a backup - I was unaware).

What do I do now to regain signal?

-I have Odin'd back to stock GB 2.3.4 Telus stock Firmware: S5830DTLKI4_TLSKI4_Android_2.3.4

-Still no signal.

-Checked Rogers APN

-Dialed *#*#4636*#*# and forced CDMA preferred; also set band preference to north american band.

I'm lost!

Guys?

Make a folder called apktools in c drive

Put the apktool.jar,apktool.bat,aapt file from the zip...

Pull out the framework-res.apk from the rom ur working..

If it is based on touch wiz,miui ,etc., then pull its framework also..

Then open cmd

Type this:::

cd c:\apktools

apktool if framework-res.apk

If it is not working try to set path for java and try that step again

To set it:::

setpath=%path;"here comes the jdk bin directory"

I was searching this forum because I do not believe it does. I have been using my S4 for a day now and when I recieve a group text from a iphone user is just shows up as a big download button. When I click to download it, it never downloads.

I just switched over from a Symbian device, so I don't know if this is what the S3 was doing... but I can say that something is up with group text (MMS).

edit DISREGARD : I had my mobile data shut off. After turning it back on it seems to all be functioning correctly.

Hi there ;)

So I was wondering if I've just been unable to punch in the right search terms or if its really impossible to make a script to change the network state?

Not being a developer I would imagine it would be possible to control as long as the phone is rooted? Now I've tried juice defender, sadly it doesn't support my rooted stock rom of my xperia v - and I'm not really in the mood to change the rom as of now.

Just to clarify it want to be able to use a script to automatically (by using tasker) change the network state from gsm (2g only) and to lte preferred and vice versa.

I think you've got me wrong - I don't want to change manually, I want to be able to do it automatically (preferably by using tasker) - og i wanted to change it manually I would just go to settings and change it.

My phone (right now) is a Xperia V (i did mention that in my original post) with stock rom (rooted) - as stated in the original post I would like it to be independent of the rom :)

[General Questions and Answers] vima91:
Sorry i got you wrong...then again i don't understand...so let's be clear.

Do you want to draw your status bar, and click on an icon that changes the network from 2G to 3G and vice versa?

Or do you want it that when it's 4:00 PM (for example), the network changes automatically to 3G?
[General Questions and Answers] m.klinge:
The latter of the two :)

In essence I want it to change to 2g when the screen is off and revert back when the screen is on (I know I have to take a few exceptions into account) - I know I could just turn off all data but that's not really what I'm looking for :)

[General Questions and Answers] m.klinge:
While I appreciate the fact that you're trying to help please try to read what I'm asking :)

I don't (as in do not want to) want to turn off all data, what I do want to be able to is to switch between 2g (edge) and 4g (lte) automatically - I'm fairly certain there's no app in the market that does that out of the box. However there's a ****load of apps who claim to toggle between 2g/3g/4g - but they just act as shortcuts to the settings menu...

Let's just say these are saftey measures of a company.

You bought the phone for the hardware and software made by Samsung. It's a form of giving credit.

Experimenting with the phone outside of Samsung circumstances is your own decision.

Completely irrelevant. The law is the law, and the law allows you to root in the EU without affecting any warranty.
[Galaxy Note II General] Simone:

[Galaxy Note II General] foxmeister:
The only "problem" with rooting is that it potentially allows dumb users to do dumb things - such as overclocking beyond the acceptable level for your processor, or flashing a radio from a completely different device.

[Galaxy Note II General] Batteriah:
This is actually an awesome thing to know. Thanks, OP.

I never rooted or flashed my note 2 because I was afraid to lose my warranty and have to pay the repair or buy another phone if something unlucky happened. This one isn't cheap. But I always had the feeling that I was not taking real advantage of my note 2 and now I think I will. Again, thanks.:D
[Galaxy Note II General] LastStandingDroid:
You shouldn't be too sure that your warranty wouldn't be void , i know many places where you won't get any warranty due to being rooted, don't take this to granted as its "not a law" its also carrier/reseller that makes these decissions. they probably know what your doing if your rooting (basically i know that they know that i know) but lets say i bought a phone and they told me that i wasn't able to "upgrade" to a newer firmware due to the warranty being void. again i wouldn't take this as granted that i would get my warranty. as of its not anything i can say its the law. its not only the law. its samsung/resellers decision not government law.

[Galaxy Note II General] adytum:
It comes down to whether the repair centre can prove that rooting is the cause of the problem. I.e if a fried cpu is the issue, and they find that the cpu is overclocked.
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
Wrong. It IS the law, in Europe. Outside of there you're likely screwed, but in Europe, consumers are protected. If they try to deny your rights, you can sue them into oblivion and are guaranteed a win, with all costs covered.

Let me take my brothers Xcover to the reseller (it's constantly freezing and has been done so) even before rooted but I won't say it's rooted I let them in service center look at it and if they say it's not going on warranty I'm glad to get some money lol.

But it's not a law. Not every country may follow it. I know Sweeden is one of those who Suck at this.

You must not forget!

Company's policy is not a law! They can't indicate anything to you that is not in the law. They cannot force you to obey their policies.

Company and you must obey the laws.

You have to be ready to fight against them on the customer court

You have to be well prepared. You must know the customer law.

And for the last, you have to be right. Do not waste your time for trying to get warranty for your liquid damaged device or broken screen :)
[Galaxy Note II General] LastStandingDroid:
last time i checked sweden was in EU but i can see if i can get my phone which has warranty to see if they will fix it,

its rooted but the root isn't caused by rooting it (Manufucator fault) has been since we got it, but i've never heard anyone getting their phone fixed if they have root. idk i can try.
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
Most people don't have a clue what their rights are with stuff like this, thus the companies get away with it. Make sure you know your rights, be able to quote the law references, you will win.
[Galaxy Note II General] Batteriah:
My main reason to root is to use apps that require root and to install updates. For example, my provider (TMN) is the only one that didn't updated their N7105 to 4.1.2. All the others (Vodafone, Optimus, TPH) already have 4.1.2 for a couple of months. So if I have the infamous SDS I can't fix it because they are lazy, but i can't fix it myself either because I'll lose my warranty by rooting. So if what OP says is right and it is the law, at least now I can enjoy 4.1.2 ( still a slowpoke) and not be worried that my phone dies.
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
You don't need root to install another stock ROM...
[Galaxy Note II General] muppetmania:
Hahah.

Good luck quoting "Directive 1999/44/CE" to the person in the shop who's saying "No, this is rooted, we will not accept it for warranty".

They'll "Directive" you to the door.
[Galaxy Note II General] makkeonmies:
its rigth what OP says, its a law and all manufactors/resellers have to follow those directives, if they try to refuse warrantly you could always throw lawyers on them.

Ok, they can do it (not accepting warranty), but only the court can decide :) my friend is lawyer here in Czech republic (member of EU - NOT Chechnya for some stupid US people) and sometimes I had a problems with warranty in some shops, but only one letter from him to the shop....and the problem was solved :) Because if they lose litigation (court), they have to pay: court fee (1000-2000 Euro), my lawyer fee (depend on the length - 100Euro/hrs), my costs regarding this case and have to repair the phone :). But a lot of peope don't know their rights. They think if service center refuse them, it's gone.... NO, it's not...go and sue the company!
[Galaxy Note II General] adytum:
^That is the exact reason why going to whoever denies your warranty with an excerpt of the law in hand will make them reconsider, as long as they understand what could potentially happen.
[Galaxy Note II General] Kremata:
I know this is a Android forum but I'm just curious. How come Jail Breaking an Apple iphone is still voiding their warranty? Isn't it the same thing? Rooting =Jail Breaking, no?
[Galaxy Note II General] adytum:
I don't know much about that, but I assume it's the same thing as rooting. Manufacturers will establish a warranty and their conditions as they like, and for some countries, that is all they get. In the EU however, law imposes conditions that every manufacturer must obey.

In other words, EU citizens have sort of two warranties to choose from.

Hopefully someone more with knowledge on jailbreaking and warranty can enlighten us more than I can.
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
In the EU, jailbreaking your iPhone is not against the law nor does it void your warranty, as mandated by the EU regulation referenced above.

In the US, jailbreaking your iPhone is illegal because Apple bought themselves a bunch of politicians and made it so.
