[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPelham:
I'm not sure about nexus, but I assure you it is exactly the same with Samsung. I have owned many Samsung phones in the past. Unlocking your bootloader, on practically any manufacturers device will void your warranty. The HTC One Development edition ships with an unlocked bootloader, maybe try that?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vick33:
That is not true.

Nexus devices can be restored to factory settings with showing no signs of modifications. I have got nexus 7 replaced with faulty usb, and galaxy s3 with screen problems all had custom firmware before. Yes there you will have a yellow triangle, if you used no stock kernel, but you can easly remove that, going back to manufacturer state. And i asked asus if open bootloader is a problem for RMA as i cannot relock with the faulty usb they said why would it be?

sad to hear htc is different.. I want that one, but this is giving me second thoughts...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPelham:
It is true. Just because you can revert it doesn't mean it's not originally voided. If say your LED screen died and you sent it for warranty and you had no way to run triangle away due to that and they saw it, you would be getting a bill.

The only way to save your warranty on this device is s-off and that's not yet available.

If you don't like it go to the Samsung S4 which has such a locked down bootloader only one dev has achieved it and still hasn't released how he did it. So no root at all over there.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
Your entire warranty is NOT voided due to unlocking or rooting. What DOES happen is your placed under more scrutiny and you have voided the warranty to things you can adversely affect.

For instance:

You rooted and your camera ceases to function or your LED flash dies. Your covered. I wouldn't recommend sending it in running a ROM, stock would ensure they can fix and test it.

Your rooted and your screen dies. You are covered.

Your rooted and the entire phone dies out of the blue. You would be under scrutiny regarding it and they would examine it to see if something you did caused the failure. If it is purely hardware related then you should be covered, otherwise your liable.

This same situation is what people who mod cars have had to fight against (and won). How does an exhaust modification cause a window failure? Or how does a custom head unit cause an engine failure.

There has to be a direct unarguable connection between your modification and the failure, I just had this happen with my Galaxy Nexus. It died completely and it was modified to high heaven. They knew it was unlocked but it wasn't the cause of the failure so it was fixed under warranty.

And BTW when you unlock your Nexus device it shows the exact same warning that the HTC unlocker software shows.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vick33:
It does not true. Check the images i attached. And if you read through the google site on the nexus it does not say any connection between the warrianty and unlocking the bootloader. Seems like every htc owner thinks other manufacturers have the same policy on bootloaders...

and altimax98 i just read a thread that htc refused tu replace a screen with yellow spots because of unlocked bootloader here is the thread

I would love the HTC One as it is the most beautiful device i have ever seen but to keep it stok to have warrianty...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfanbdh:
dude you need to do more research. samsung.htc.motorola.apple.lg,and google all say the same thing rooting,installing custom firmware, and unlocking bootloader may void warranty. if its not a manufacture defect they wont replace it. ive owned all of them and the message is always the same. it would be crazy for a company to sell you something with warranty and say do whatever you want with it and we will warranty for you
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nullkill:
Um no it wouldn't. It would be crazy to sell a product and say you rooted that caused the defect. I have dealt with HTC and have sent many phones to them unlocked rooted with custom software and have not had any problem ever. Also please take a look at my signature had to make it to try and combat all the WRONG info out there. This is the USA we have rights when people care to inform themselves of them!

Also note how they always say "may void warranty" what they are really saying is if you do not know your rights we will be more than happy to screw you over as we are corporate and don't care about you at all.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
Exactly, they also use 'may void warranty' because there is no way they could make a comprehensive list of all the possible things that could void it. May is safety net of sorts to do exactly what nullkill said
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vick33:
So i am happy that HTC does not manufacure my notebook ... As i could not live without root acces as a developer :) And all say the same thing? Where do you get that info i just read through the Nexus 4 warrianty manual plus checked the unlock screen again and it never mentions that i loose warrianty with unlock not in the 106 pages of the manual not on the unlock sreen i cared to paste in the previous post of me. So i think i did my part of research... you did not.. check 46 do you see any mention of the bootloader? check the unlock screen i pasted in the last post of me? Do you see any mention of voiding my warrianty? I dont... So please point me out where it is stated that unlocking the nexus 4 bootloader voids the warrianty!

http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGE960

And i am sad because of that "may" i am not sure they can lawfully say that. May is not specific. In a contract you cant use the word may...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfanbdh:
i dont think you understood what i was trying to say. i you do something that messes something up with the phone then its on you. if its something that fails on the phone that had nothing to do with custom software then they have to fix it. but you take the risk that if you brick it or something like that you foot the bill not the company.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vick33:
But as i read through lost of thread seems like this is not the case. Sometimes htc refuses to cover obious hardware defects because of unlocked bootloader.. Yes you can kill harware with software but it is not that easy... yes you can overclock and you can raise the voltage, but if there is too much heat the cpu will starts throttling or even reboot, yes you can overvrite the bootloader with 0-s etc etc, but a simple root should not void your warrianty as it does not do on a notebook. my phone is faster then my wifes netbook why i cannot "own" the two devices the same way, both have cellular data and everything... almost same devices on harware side.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfanbdh:
obviously you didnt read this manual you just want to sound smart, but here it is right at the begining and both of your picks say something about voiding the warranty

Only authorized personnel should service the

phone and its accessories. Faulty installation

or service may result in accidents and

consequently invalidate the warranty.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vick33:
I read and that is about hardware installation not software smart guy... i am not covered if i try to replace the screen at home... you clearly have problem of understanding written text. Read it more carefully out loudly then you may understand it
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nullkill:
Yes you are very correct.

You can but people do not know and assert their rights. I don't bother telling HTC my devices are unlocked or rooted I just state the problem and steps I have taken to fix it like a factory reset or whatever. HTC and every other company would love to invalidate as many warranties as possible it saves them money but you have to know what your rights are to assert them. The idea that rooting or bootloader unlocking or changing software in any way voids warranty is just plain crazy and in the USA we are legally protected from such craziness.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vick33:
I feel the same way as an electrical and software engineer, but seems like it is a lottery and it they refuse to repair you can try to threaten them by telling them you will go to court, but that is not how it should work. And it is not how it is working with nexus devices as i can tell from my own experience. Thank you for your answers you seem like someone realy into this topic:) It made me a little less frustrated, but i still not know if i will jump on the htc bandwagon or not... I will try to contact the local htc service next week and will ask their opinion on the problem.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I think the keywords are "May void your warranty" so HTC can decide whether or not to cover you. I have had HTC devices and it's always a risk a person has to take with unlocking the bootloader. HTC using "May void your warranty" simple covers them, so it's up to them if they will cover it or not.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfanbdh:
really? it says nothing about hardware or software it just says installation which if you have ever dealt with contracts before its vague for a reason. i thought you started this thread for help in resolving something. seems to me that you already know everything and started this thread to boost your ego. not for help and opinions from other members who have dealt with these companys numerous times before.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nullkill:
I agree with you that it's crazy how these companies try and operate. On the Nexus side I am sure you can find reports of people sending in devices that were unlocked and them not honoring the warranty the thing that helped us (with samsung too) is we can remove all traces of what we did :highfive:. Which the fact we have to do that is a bit crazy. In a perfect world companies would honor consumer protection laws and they would be better enforced. I only know about this crap as I'm a cell phone addict longest I've had a device in the last 3 years is maybe 6 months I just can't help it. I'm trying to be good and stick with the ONE as HTC have always tended to be my favorite.

The reason I have faith in HTC is I sent a International HTC One X into HTC USA. First they didn't care it was a international model (try that with sammy and they will laugh at you). Second this was one of the very first One X's so it had the wifi/gps issue very very badly. It was originally a black unit but I didn't like that so I bought a white case and swapped it out. When doing that I discovered the attempted fixes to the wifi antenna. It looked like someone who was a hobbyist at best had solder little metal leads to make better contact with the antenna and it looked horrible. Well I sent that sucker in with the white case and what do you know HTC didn't say anything about the board being soldered on or the fact the case was white. I had told them the phone had been in for repair at carrier before and it helped but then the issue came back (I have no idea what happened to this phone as I was at least the 3rd person who it passed through it's now got a nice home with my friend still going perfect) and now it was acting up again. Not saying everyone will have this luck but if you are smart use your brain and know as much as possible it should help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfanbdh:
if you ask them they will tell you the same thing it may void your warranty but it will have to be determined by the person doing the repairs. if they determine that custom software caused the issue guess what there is a bill on the way
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vick33:
I dont know much about htc because i never owned one.. I do not wanted to sound full of ego and if i did sorry... And if they actually determine the cause that is not the problem but i see a lot of threads when users complaining that htc refuses repairs with unlocked bootloader even if the problem is clearly their fault. And as there is no chance of removing the sign that the bootloader was unlocked you cannot go back to full factory state like on nexus or on most samsung device except someus carrier branded ones.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfanbdh:
when we get s-off it wont be a problem and mobiletechvideos.com posted a week or so ago that they have got s-off on the htc one so it will happen here. if your that worried about it just buy the dev version in comes with an unlocked bootloader. i have had the tmo version since the release and its a tough phone all around(software and hardware). i have always been a samsung guy until i had the htc one in my hand.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPelham:
Mobiletechvideos unlocked s-off using hardware JTAG. Which is nothing new. It may be a while until we get a software version that we are able to flash.

Also, OP, both pictures you posted say "(may void warranty)" on the option itself when you select yes to unlock. Please review the pictures that you, yourself, posted.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfanbdh:
yea but its worth the 20 or 30 dollars they will charge if it saves you the 600 the phone costs. its the only option available right now
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
Unfortunately the OEM's arent really to blame for this sort of action.. how many threads are there where members brick (or so they think) their device and they get a replacement from the manufacturer although it was user error that caused the issue. So many times even in the Nexus forums people get replacements because of a stupid fixable error that could have been avoided had they not used a tool kit...... it may be small in the scheme of things, whats a $600 phone to a company with billions in profits, but you cant expect the rich to pay your way and fix your mistakes...

/end rant
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdiaz33685:
in February I had to send my HTC ONE S... for repair to HTC and I had it unlocked, rooted and they fixed my captivated buttons, without any problems..

years ago when I had the touch pro, they put the phone back to stock sprint rom, and fixed the problem.

I have gone to htc around 3 times with the phones rooted and unlocked without any issues...

if the problem is hardware related they will fix it, if u damaged it, like water damage, well no ur gonna have to pay to fix it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPelham:
The thing is, not all hardware related problems will be honored under a bootloader unlocked device. That may be your experience, and with certain things like capacitive buttons they may not care about it being unlocked, but it certainly won't be everyone's experience, especially if something happens with the CPU.

For instance, if you bootloader unlock, and your CPU fails, HTC will take a look and see what happened. If you installed a custom kernel, your warranty is thrown out the window because if that custom kernel changes any aspect of the CPU, it could be thought that would be the reason for the failure.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vick33:
On the nexus unlock witch one means that your warrianty is void? I read it once more and i dont get it.

My problem is with may or may not repair... And it is not that easy to kill the cpu you are much easyer to mess up the file system. And since the G1 i always used everythig custom and never messed up. My problems were always hardware . burn in screen, failed speakers mics leds etc but i have to admit i never had a phone that i buyed and worked for a year
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vick33:
Ok i just read that the dev edition comes with s off unlocked bootloader out of the box you dant have to use the htcdev site and still has 1 year warrianty:) that is good news but then i dont get why they dont have the same policy with all device.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Probably because they don't want too many people going crazy flashing phones and returning it because it was bricked or someone OC the CPU or something. Just my guess though.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
False.

Unlocked yes, S-OFF no.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
When you do Fastboot OEM unlock and you choose yes you are doing g the same thing as the HTC unlock.

The way to think about things is this way, could you have done something that killed the device, and could this have happened if you never touched it. If the answer is yes then you may have a tough time with the warranty.

Messed up file system partition - normally user error

Dead display - usually hardware error
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiho0516:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueYears:

By now HTC announced unlocked devices to be covered under warranty.

like 5 minutes before I looked over "HTCdev - Unlock Bootloader" page(I'm not allowed to insert links:crying:) and found something really interesting. I don't know if any other market share holding companies have decide to bring such policy in but let's hope they will follow the same path HTC is about to. :good:Following is a piece of message posted on the above mentioned HTCdev's page...

I also hope them to announce the same warranty support for the devices launched before 2011.

anyone finds a way to check if his/her mobile phone belongs to under this policy, please let here know.

For now it is like Xmas extension.:o

have good time ahead.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
The text you have quoted is there since many years and only mean that HTC is providing an official tool (htcdev.com) to unlock the bootloader, nothing to do with warranty. Unlocking your bootloader still (may) void your warranty.

Maybe you should have read the entire text, just below you can read this in bold characters:

Hi,

I have ZTE V970 which is dual core with 1G RAM (simillar to samsung S2 in spec),

Which class will be sufficient - the maximum I think of is recording 720 video movies with its average 5mp camera

is Transcend 8G class 4 is enough?

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] coolsandie:
More the class, more speed will be for read/write things in SD card. Such that when you want to copy 50MB file in SD card or from SD card, class 10 SD cards copies faster than Class 6 or Class 4. Similar is the case in reading data. I guess, you got the point.

For more info about MicroSD cards you can refer this detailed guide about it:

[General Questions and Answers] MGlitch:
You may as well get a class 6 or higher. It's not like they're pricey and they'd do a better job for you in the end. Instead of looking for the minimum of what will work, look instead for what does the job best.
[General Questions and Answers] Hong Kong Phooey:
The class IS the speed. The only difference between companies is their quality control. Sandisk has the best quality control, so you're slightly less likely to get a defective stick from them. Its really not a major difference in either case.
[General Questions and Answers] kiko10o:
someone familiar with G.Skill company?

[General Questions and Answers] xeroxide:
the class is a standard set by the SD association. any card classified as a class 4 should be the same/similar to other brands of class 4.
