PS: Of course, if something happens to the phone hardware it will not be covered under warranty though.
PPS: I am from India, It may be different for your country

I don't know about you, but I never had an issue simply not bringing it up...
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Anubarak16:
I guess they will be able to discover the unlocked bootloader as soon as they boot the phone unless you hide it. Anyway I never had to contact support once in my life - so I have no idea how they react.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] pl1992aw:
Similar as above comment, that's not entirely true.

Xiaomi does not void warrant after bootloader unlocked.

ASUS/ROG will because they stated bootloader unlock will void warranty, but Xiaomi will not.

And whether root will void warranty or not, just flash official fastboot ROMs back into the device and format data to remove trace of Magisk, so it looks like non-rooted. This is talking about Xiaomi.

Magisk nowadays root with altering boot partition, so flash it back to official and format data makes it identical to phone just after bootloader unlocked. This is talking about Xiaomi.

Xiaomi developer ROMs have root provided itself.

Warranty on root? Mi 10 Lite 5G

Hi all, I recently bought the Mi 10 Lite 5G and I'm very happy with it except one thing, which is that unlocking the phone dismisses notifications on the lock screen. I use those notifications as a reminder to respond later and sometimes I need to unlock the phone before I can respond to all...

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] KaiserSnorezay:
I'm aware - but OnePlus lets you unlock the bootloader without affecting the warranty, and I was using Cyanogenmod/LineageOS anyway so wasn't dependent on OxygenOS updates.

I think I'll be content with just root for my adblocking and full backups, but not knowing if there's an OTA available is a bummer. My main concern is banking and other apps that detect root. Magisk does the job for me on my OP3 running Android 10, but it's an older device predating the A/B partition scheme in use now.

I had considered the OnePlus 9 but it isn't officially supported where I am, and the continued availability of an audio jack on the ROG 5 made it attractive.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
... I always forget how literally xda takes things.

"It has been a standard disclaimer since the early days of Android, but has never really mattered. Rooting is like installing an app. You can undo it."
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] pl1992aw:
Provided by Xiaomi:
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
I don't have any Xiaomi devices, but I hope that isn't what they are still using today. That is some relic software.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] pl1992aw:
Not present in new device nowadays. They have something else. Exist in past in the developer ROMs. :p

About warranty issues, this is also varies between regions and countries.

In Europe, Xiaomi warranty last 2 years, while in some countries, it's only 1 years.

In some countries and regions, Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco has same warranty policy; while in India, Xiaomi/Redmi and Poco can have separate warranty policy.

In some countries and regions, warranty cover the physical part even when the ROM state is altered. Root or not, custom ROM or not doesn't matter. As long as no artificial damage was done to the hardware.

Of course there's some exclusions as IMEI, Serial number lost or some device unique lost is not under this coverage without a doubt in any country and region.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Samsung only covers hardware and even that is unreliable. My Note 20 Ultra arrived with a defective speaker and they told me to find a repair shop. With service that good, there is no reason not to root.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Anubarak16:
Really 😐 may I ask what your region is?

That sounds entirely stupid in my opinion. They would not be able to do this in Europe/Germany. No matter what you buy (hardware), you can send it back within 2 weeks and get your money back (just normal Internet laws) + they need to repair even hardware related things unless you cause the issue directly.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
US. They did say a return was the other option, but I would be on my own to replace it. The support may still be sourced to Korea, though.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
My ASUS service center rebuilt the entire firmware on my unlocked device twice from soft brick back to factory on the spot at no charge and no mention of void warranty. Could be a stand alone case but that's what I call good service. I doubt most other brands would do you that favor.

You can root. Just keep in mind there is no custom recovery like the good old days, so if any flashing etc goes wrong, Fastboot or EDL with a cable is your only lifeline (I found no EDL solutions that worked on mine when I was stuck and the device wouldn't stay in Fastboot mode). Finally worked out and I got it rooted.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] seiferfury:
I thought our phones require hardware attestation now in SafetyNet. How did you pass it? Does LSposed help?

EDIT: Yeah after further research I found that Magisk passes SafetyNet by using Universal Safetynet Fix and MagiskHide Props Config..

EDIT2: Yay my device is certified again.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jhosharath:
For me, I didnt use any magiskhide prop config. just universal safetynet fix and hide magisk against google play store and google play services and clearing data
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] harold741963:
How do you update firmware without losing root or any personal data i have saved already?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
There is a how to thread around here somewhere
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] harold741963:
Hey, what do you mean by "retain magisk"? Can you please list the steps on how to perform an update without having to get rid of root or factory reset?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] blackhawk:
"Safe"? I've lost count of the "I bricked my phone" threads here.

With complete control comes complete responsibility for the outcome of your actions, good or bad.

If you can afford the material risk, time loss and you enjoy doing it, do so.

At the least you'll always have a cool paper weight for your bills.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
It's literally an app from the manufacturer and a boot image that gets patched by an automated process. If you stop there and don't try to flash your grandmother's wedding photo as a recovery image, it's hard to do any real damage. System can't even be mounted read/write.

https://xdaforums.com/t/update-your-asus-rog-5-tencent-ww-version-easy-and-on-the-phone.4296575/

I wasn't kidding about the guide.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] blackhawk:
Any time you flash, things can go wrong.

I've been careful and lucky with firmware flashes.

Results may vary... a defective cable, power failure, corrupted download, PC anomaly, etc can ruin the flash and the device.

There's always risk involved with flashing.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Sure, there are those 2% risk factors, but fearing them too much to do things is no way to live.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] blackhawk:
Risk vs gain... bang for the buck.

Stock Androids today (at least until Q and 11) run well leaving less reasons to root.

Infected roms are always an additional risk.

Very small user numbers means limited support.

You will also sink much more time into getting a rooted device operational while a stock device has a much more modest learning curve.

Rooting is cool but not necessary nor is it risk free.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Anubarak16:
I guess those were never really the reason to root/install a custom Rom. At least my reason was mostly to remove unnecessary apps, install add blocker and other apps, increase battery live and to customize my phone but never a "well running android" . I never want to be without root anymore because the advantages are just too good.

Having no ads is a very worthwhile "risk" for me.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
For me, it is not nearly as risky or troublesome. For you, it sounds like a bad idea. Better not to drink the milk than take the chance of being good for that one more day past the expiration.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] blackhawk:
I use a package disabler and Karma Firewall to lock down my 10+ and a few other tricks.

Lol, no stock Android's are optimized out of the box, there's a learning curve. Many just ignore this though... and plow ahead with less than optimal devices🤭

Either way better than a plain jane iPhone... I like bad gf's🤣

So yeah I can see rooting Android's but nothing's for free.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-debloat-remove-stock-apps-without-root.3794729/

This guy is spouting off the fears of rooting and uses package disabler... That's like asking malware to handle your virus protection.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] blackhawk:
I greatly enjoy reading all the "bricked my phone" threads here...

I keep PD MDM firewall blocked.

Fact of the matter is in 7 years I never was forced to do a reload because of malware.

My current load of Pie is over a year old and stable.

It's data is redundantly backed up on multiple hdds.

Takes me about 2 hours to do a full restore with no root... sound like I'm shaking?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Anubarak16:
Were you ever in trouble because of flashing/rooting?

I only flashed about 25 devices but I never had trouble that could not be fixed by flashing again or use another Rom/recovery combination/encryption and so on... I would just like to understand what your issue is.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
I've bricked one device I haven't come back from on my own and that was the G1 because I wanted to see if you could port the G2 bootloader.

Should people who don't read root? No.

Is package disabler safe and reliable? No.

Is two hours ridiculously long to restore? Yes.

I appreciate your point, but it's not for me. Please excuse me if I ignore it.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] jhosharath:
Just 3 steps to follow.

Download update in internal storage and reboot- System will detect update then install update *but dont reboot *( important step) - Open magisk press install and choose install to inactive slot and now reboot.

I have done and it worked perfectly without anything to do after that. Even Lsposed firmware was active.

Once go through the guide regarding that. I just remember the important step to be followed.

I need help, I search all over Google but I cannot find the firmware for this cell, it is a skycell model A3 type X1 (so the box says), the processor it has is a mtk mt6580 and it has android 9, 2gb of ram and 16gb of internal, the sp flash tool recognizes it, I tried to put a firmware from a Chinese S10 + with the same characteristics but the sp threw the error (4032) and I read by Google that I need the original firmware, I tried to put that of an iPhone 11 pro max (clone) with the same processor, but with android 6.0 but the same 4032 error throws me the sp flash tool, so if or if I need the original firmware and I can't get it, does anyone by chance have it?

*** Be aware, there may be a need to wipe data if you desire to go back to stock kernel, my suggestion is to backup your stock BOOT partition and DATA before flashing. This way you can return to your original setup easily. It is unknown at this stage what data is causing an issue going back to stock. If you find it, be sure to share.

* You must have bootloader unlocked and rooted your device with Magisk before flashing this kernel. Magisk is essential for camera and wacom.

* Boot times are approx 60-75sec at the moment, itll sit on the yellow triangle splash for approx 60sec and the bootanimation for 5sec.

As the title states, I cant figure out how to stop having my contact list put the last name first. I want it organized by first name.

Is this possible?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] studz:
It is possible, and can be done by using the 'file as' drop down when editing contacts in Outlook on your PC, then re-syncing with your diamond.

Don't know of a way to do it stand alone though.

Im using entourage and its already set that way (first name, last name). Dont know why its not saving it that way on the phone.

There's actually a tiny freeware program that does just that, bulk on all your contacts: Contact Utilities v1.0b.

I've used it exactly for this and it worked perfectly :)

I just save them without a space between first and second names, that guarantees it will be the same on any phone ( e.g. if you go skiing and temporary transfer sim card to another phone or change phone to completely different model)

When you people talk about Outlook, do you mean the old crapy Outlook or brand new kick a*s Windows Live Mail?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hertc:
they are two different lines of product, Outlook is not old, the latest version is 2007 .. I suppose this one
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NoWorthWhile:
Actually, I'm willing to buy a Htc Touch diamond, but I've always hated outlook, and I'm kind of more fund on WL Mail... I've been using it quite a lot (About 20 mails a day) and I'm not willing to change my habits... So I wanted to know if

1) The mail tab on TouchFlo shows WL acounts

2) Will contacts on WL Mail be synchronised with the TD?

I have a Galaxy J6 (J600GT - j6ltedx) with MiUiMiX 11 GSI (ErfanGSI - Android 9)

I've installed this ROM two days ago and yesterday, I've inserted one SIM card. Everything worked fine, I could receive and make calls, send and receive SMS with no trouble

Today I've inserted my second SIM Card, but system behaved VERY WEIRD, some times it detects both with network, other times both but only one with network, other times both without network, and even no SIM

I even tried to keep only one SIM, but same bug is happening, not even one SIM works now ;-;

I've recorded a little video to show what's happening, here it is: https://streamable.com/f26ww1

Edit: I restarted several times with only one SIM card, still no detected but somehow in one of my attempts it could receive an SMS from my carrier, but system stills show there is NO SIM, and I can't send SMS, or make/receive calls (SCREENSHOT ATTACHED)

Looks like you haven't read the instructions:

You're using config.sh (when you should have a customize.sh file, if necessary) and you haven't replaced the dummy update-binary with the actual installation script (hence the error).
