Cool. Good to know.
[Nexus 5 General] crachel:
They provided us with the tools to unlock/lock our bootloader and set up a website to show us exactly how to do it. I think it couldn't be anymore obvious that they don't care that you stuck some binaries on the /system partition so you could run Titanium Backup
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Sorry little edit. Its not advertised as a developers device. Nowhere in google's ads or their nexus page does it says "developer". I'd still be wary of RMA with root if you highly modified system apps and such.
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
It never hurts to be wary. And it anyone managed to overclock the device so astronomically that it burst into flames there may be some pushback from Google. But the email is, as I said, unambiguous.

As to the suggested edit, I never said anything about advertising, but certainly you can tap 7 times and be rewarded with "Congratulations, you are now a developer!" That, as well as well as crachel's point seem to weigh towards it being referred to as a developer's device -- at least casually.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
yup. ive always told people that if its a hardware issue, google will rma it, even if its rooted. but if its a software issue, most likely they wont. google themselves looked for a way to give us the means to unlock our bootloaders, and fastboot oem unlock is the gift they gave us with the nexus one :)

i myself have sent in devices that are still rooted, with custom roms, to get rma'd. google never gave me issue.
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
simms22: My guess is that if there's any question of the problem actually being a custom OS issue just re-flash/reset to stock & any remaining hardware issues will be dealt with by Google. My key point was that nobody need worry about resetting any flag that it had been unlocked at some point. From your experience & what they've said and done I think it would take some phenomenally destructive code before they'd even raise the issue.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
when the nexus one just came out, there was a big name google developer that stopped in xda and helped us out every once in a while. i wish i could remember his name. sometimes we even got "leaked" code directly from google. that would never have happened if google cared that we had root.
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
:D That is just great! And just one more reason that I find it really hard to become overwrought over rattling buttons.

An obvious extension of this is that on support calls (or email) one can mention root/kernel/ROM without fear. Heck, Google might even want to know how mods perform.
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
But this is till the time we can RMA it which google is handling but when our warranty will expire we will have take it to Lg service center and I doubt that they will also give the same reply.

Policies for both of them must be different.
[Nexus 5 General] gee2012:
LG will most likely not be so understanding regarding rooting in country`s where there you can`t buy a Nexus in the Play store but in a shop.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
LG wont be understanding, period. Its only google that will except rooted devices.
[Nexus 5 General] Ltdrev:
If you bought another/extended warranty from your carrier or if your carrier import and service your phone then I think you have to keep hands in yr pockets they may not have a user friendly policy as Google's seems to ...
[Nexus 5 General] gee2012:
What do you think could be the reason Google doesn`t offer Nexus devices in all country`s instead of in selected country`s only?

Besides the obvious $$ reason for LG making more money ;)
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
there could be many, most likely legal though. maybe even something with taxes or the currency being used in that country.
[Nexus 5 General] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

I asked too about root, unlocked bootloader/custom rom (custom Android Kit-Kat software) and warranty LG/Google, the French support is light and evasive (even if I detailed all the points):

Google traduction (:D):

But the general idea seems the same as the reply from Google in the OP, less detailed.

:)
[Nexus 5 General] Primokorn:
If I'm not mistaken there's an European law about that. Basically if we have bought a device in Europe the manufacturer must repare our device even if the software has been modified. (Instruction no. 1999/44/CE of E.U.)
[Nexus 5 General] SedyBenoitPeace:
Well for LG you need to ask...because LG hasn't an international policy about warranty...it depends from the countries...for example here in Italy, LG Italy accepts for the warranty the rooted devices and also the devices with Custom Rom!
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
What's the fuss about? If your rooted and because of xyz reasons you want to send the device to LG, just return to stock and send the phone back!

If you have a dead mobo, then even they(LG) can't access the bootloader, so there's no problem in claiming warranty.

That being said, I'm pretty sure if you send it back to them rooted, LG won't provide warranty! :p

Most of my friends who had the Nexus 4 used to root and keep flashing stuffs and one of them forgot to return to stock before returning the device and BANG! LG said the warranty is void... ~_~
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
This law doesn't really work though. Samsung successfully circumvent it on every galaxy s device.

Actually I believe its not the manufacturer either, its the seller who could be the carrier or the shop you purchased (or Google in this case as seller).
[Nexus 5 General] jerfy:
Essentially yup, called their support to double check as I had gotten my Nexus 5 only today. The rep was very stern and said that is the biggest thing you can do to void their warranty lol. This is in Canada btw. But is the one year manufacturer warranty from LG even worth keeping? That's what I've been debating as I have yet to root my phone
[Nexus 5 General] tien113:
Google shouldn't care about RMA. Customers can do whatever.
[Nexus 5 General] r0cky0790:
They made rooting of devices totally legal like two and a half years ago because it was actually illegal in a sense. How is this fresh news. Just saying.....

Edit: Also, it would be common sense to make your phone completely stock before returning a device for whatever reason. You shouldn't need a email from Google explaining that.

[Nexus 5 General] :
Hi,

If it's for me, I never asked the Google support if it will be needed to restore the device to stock (in the case it's possible), but I asked about root, unlocked bootloader, custom software about warrantly and it seems the reply is something like "an automatic reply", oh a bit personalized but almost none of my questions had been replied...

The reply is to go back to stock but it's not what I asked, even if like you said it's a common sense, but the thing is if you send your phone for whatever reason (bootable and working) without all stock, is the warranty works? Surely they need to say that...

Google accepts all the modifications (I mean root, unlocked bootloader, etc...) but you'll need to go back to stock in case you send it (or you should)...?

Like it has been said some devices has been sent to Google rooted/unlocked with custom kernel, rom (bootable and working) and there were no problems at all.

So go back to stock is maybe not not required...

My previous post with the email was more to compare two different replies (between French support and...?).

:)
[Nexus 5 General] r0cky0790:
Not to single you out, and please believe I have no problem with you but think about it. ?How can google troubleshoot the broken device for possible issues if everything to them looks like a modified knockoff (Sorry for the harsh words but this is how I believe Google sees are precious Devs' work, but kindly steal their ideas) of the original operating system they have already learned. Speaking as if this was a software issue of course. You make their job harder by sending them a rooted device. How fair is that when they approved your RMA request?

"Cataclysm + ElementalX [Tap2Wake Enabled] + Dalvik/Bionic Patches + Exposed + Gravity Box & Candy shop Mods + DPI 440 + Apex Launcher w/ Morena Icons + Jishnu's Camera Mod/LG G2 Camera Port + Latest GPU Drivers + -75 UV Across The Board + 4 OC Cores @ 2.226 GHz + TWRP" My Nexus Is The ?,┌П┐[◣_◢]┌П┐! [If I Helped You ? Me!]
[Nexus 5 General] :
No worries (maybe I explained wrong) :)

But in any case they "reflash all stock" even if you are already on stock, according to the problem but in almost all the cases they reflash the firmware or update if the device is not up to date (?).

You are full stock (or previously rooted, etc... but you put your phone in "order") you have a software problem with... the camera for example, in any case they "reflash" the firmware even if you are up to date. And after they try to find or not the problem, if finally it's hardware or whatever then they change your device.

In my opinion, rooted or not, in any case nothing change as they always do the same procedure, nothing harder.

:)
[Nexus 5 General] tomhtg90:
nice sharing dude.

but in Indonesia if you root your phone, the distributor won't cover the warranty :cyclops:
[Nexus 5 General] Primokorn:
Fully agree with this.

I think that all OEMs work like that and here is my exprience with Samsung and a certified repairer:

I had a WiFi issue (unable to be connected). The repairer had flashed my device with the software "Odin" (like XDA users :p) but it did nothing. The repairer never switched on the phone!

Then the device has been returned to one of Samsung's factories to remplace the chip.
[Nexus 5 General] varunthapliyal999:
Hi,I'm from india and just bought my nexus and this the reply I received

What do they mean by "if the source code for the Android OS has been modified"?Like installing CM??

Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
Yes they mean that also but much more than that. Since using xposed framework on stock rom will also count to change in android OS or system. I think they mean any type of modding so rooting is also included.
[Nexus 5 General] varunthapliyal999:
Thanks, I had rooted my previous phone so using an unrooted phone feels like something is missing :P .I'm planning to root it, so before I do it I just want to know we can reset the flash counter right?? :)
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
Yup! Its easy. Btw it does not have flash counter like galaxy devices, it has tampered flag which u can change while a sending it back.
[Nexus 5 General] alesevilla92:
THANKS for this post. I was thinking whether to buy the Nexus 5, but thanks to this post, I got much clearer. I will surely buy it.
[Nexus 5 General] deeren:
Wasn't it swetland or svetland? Can't recall exactly.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
omg, thank you! ive been trying to remember his name.. its svetland :)
[Nexus 5 General] deeren:
Yeah. I recall this name cause it really impressed me at that time that a Google employee would drop by XDA and the name sounded like the name of a 'country'. No offence.

Edit: remember he had his location citing mountain view .hahaha.

Claro ROM

Também uso o ROM Qtek 2.17 e tudo funciona bem. Mas agora tentei instalar um serviço da Claro de DDD fácil para não ter que digitar o código da operadora antes de fazer um DDD e não consegui. Quando pus o novo chip de 64K o PDA também não era compatível com a instalação de serviços novos. Fico me perguntando se não é incompatibilidade com o ROM.

Por outro lado, se alguém sabe como adicionar o código da operadora para DDD sem ter que mexer nos contatos, agradeceria a dica. Nos celulares mais simples normalmente há a função "adicionar números" aos números da agenda de telefônes, mas no meu MDA creio que não há.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] banks2878:
I have the AT&T Galaxy Mega i527 I got the phone a little over a month ago and had it unlocked and running on T Mobile perfectly well a few days ago it stopped working so after calling Samsung and making a few more calls I'm being told im Blacklisted, so after paying The Unlock Pro's to fix this im getting full Data at over 10MBPS at all time and as far as I can tell my Text work but Calling Out/Receiving Calls has major issues! when it does(rarely does) call out it will take forever to start ringing and most of the time it will drop the call..please help!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cakegetter:
If your getting full data you can use various apps to make and receive calls and text like mo+ or grooveip to name a few. I believe you need a google number to use the aforementioned. There are some that provide a number for you like talkatone.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jsimonson0:
Those will all stop working as of mid-May. Google will be disabling external VoIP functions then.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cakegetter:
Another alternative is skype. I pay 2.99 a month for unlimited calling in the US, you can also receive calls from landlines through skype. I think that service is like $7 a month. Hopefully this will help with your problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] SaHiLzZ:
Can you check on http://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pcampbell1134:
Google for checkesnfree, can verify if phones are blacklisted there.

Possible 1)

Dial *#0011# with your sim card inside. Look for something called "IMEI CERT". If it says "Fail" (or not listed at all) then the problem is "The Unlock Pro's" have buggered your NVM. And without a proper backup of your original NVM, nothing to do.

Possible 2)

Flash the stock modem for your Mega (newest version only) and kernel only. Wipe data/factory reset, then reapply your APN settings. Make sure to do a manual select on the network.

Possible 3)

Dial *#06#, write down your IMEI, then pull your battery out and look at the sticker on back and see if the IMEI on the sticker matches. If it doesn't then they have altered your IMEI (which is illegal by the way), and put your IMEI to one that is in use by another phone.

thanks for all the reply's!!! do you guys kno where I could download the modem for this phone?? I had to download an re-install the modem on my Unlocked AT&T S3 I747 I had on Metro
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] banks2878:
just to give a update im still having the calling out/receiving calls problem , the company I paid 60 to fix the IMEI refuses to even respond to my e-mails.. I jus find it weird im still getting full data at all times and the phone has the 4G LTE sign at the top right of the screen until I go to make a call then it jus goes to a regular 4G sign with no LTE. also I've noticed the calling out/receiving calls feature works fine depending where im at like for instance I went to the hash bash in Ann Arbor the other day and everything was working fine.. im thinking im going to just send the phone to Joe The Android Rooter and see if he has luck getting it figured out. I'm jus sick of this thing being a money pitt..

I have cm10.1 edition on my oppo n1

That came from the factory .. Updated it to latest version and have found that even after update the o-touch

Is there a compatibility issue with cm 10 or a special way to enable the o-touch functionality?

Thx
[Oppo N1] IAmOmicron:
CM 10.2? If yes, I believe it is located at the bottom of the 'Languages and Inputs' section of the settings app.

I'm currently on CM11 nightly simply because the o-click works. I would use Omni because of the music controls it adds for the o-click but the o-touch doesnt work at all on Omni.
