Hi,
Does anyone know what the warranty implications are from using this update?
T-Mobile have tweeted that they will not support any warranty claims from users of this update.

Same as debranding your device, you will lose your warranty mate.

DAMN i might have been ripped off :C
still the hardware is in perfect condidtion and its been side by side with a uk branded phone and everything looks the same so its probably not a knock off
since im runing a custom rom , might as well use something custom, without sense, i heard its kinda a power hog... how true is this?
what rom would you guys recomend i use it mostly for whatsapp, photos, theter.

who sells you that phone and says that it is brand new? It clearly isn't as it is running a custom ROM built by mike.
1st of all if you bought it from a store you should take it back.
couse its rooted and you may have problems with warranty

HTC warranty for 24 months is better than store warranty for 6. I recommend returning it if you're planning to use the warranty, it may be void.

I have "Knox Warranty Void: 0x1" and I don't care about warranty.
I wanted to ask if flashing the oneplus 3 community builds would void your accidental damage protection and warranty or not. Also if it needs unlocked bootloader, if so will unlocking erase your data.

They offer warranty but RMA takes a lot of time ...
But mos of the problems are software issues. A user is able to fix them.

i tried everything and it did not work.
some people got theirs bricked after trying to flash some rom found on forums
3.5.2 is not bugged at all. Just needs new firmware updates and a modified twrp which you can find on these forums before you install the new community build.
I'm on 3.5.2 and went back to orionos and then back to 3.5.2. It just requires more steps...
Hi,
i contacted support because of random reboots, which are not ROM related.
When asking for what to do, the support recommends me this:
Since you have manually flash your phone this will be automatically Out of Warranty once it gets to our service center. What we can do is to prevent or save your device from sending it for a repair. I would suggest to take advantage in doing a remote session and try to fix your device.

So ? Now im Out of Warranty because of using a custom ROM? I dont understand it. I thought Oneplus is fine when using a custom ROM. Anyone can explain?
Thanks
UPDATE FROM SUPPORT: Looks like everything OK when flashing custom OS on Oneplus devices:
I understand that there's a confusion regarding the warranty of the phone. I would just like to clarify to you that as long as there is no physical damage on the device, it will still be covered by our warranty. However, if a certain process like flashing an unofficial OS which triggers an issue in the hardware, it will actually cause the phone to fall out of warranty. But, again it will depend on the result of the investigation once the phone is sent for repair.

Reload the newest stock rom and see if it still does it. Then send in for repair?
Not sure how you'd know it wasn't the rom causing the problem?

Easy solution:
Flash the stock firmware and send it to the service center for warranty repair. Random reboots are a typical bug found in custom rom nightlies. I would refuse to repair it too Be smart and set it back to stock before sending it to the service center. You'll be fine And you'll have no trouble.
Flash stock Rom nd recovery and Relock bootloader then go Service centre...???
Update from Support, so everything looks fine now:

Makes sense, I highly doubt this has to do with flashing different roms and kernels.

That sounds reasonable.

Does Xiaomi voids warranty?
Little bit scared if they void?

Unlocking & rooting doesn't void warrenty according to Xiaomi policy.
If you install custom recovery and custom ROM it will void warrenty.
And pls clarify your questions next time.and you should ask these type of questions in miui forum.
