Just got one s and am wanting to root. Just not sure how t Mobile is with warranty issues if u have a root phone. Been a while since I have been using flashed phones on metro with no warranties so never cared before.

It breaks the HTC warranty. Not sure about Tmobile, but I'm would expect the same applies
Yea I kinda figured it would. However thought maybe that had changed with HTC unlock being available and that its been proven with that method that you can't really damage the hardware.

Once you unlock the bootloader (which is required to root), you basically sign away your warranty.
Worst comes to worst you can just wipe the hboot partition from recovery and claim ignorance.

My power button is hard to press now. It takes two/three presses to function. My phone is new so I called tmobile and they said there is nothing they can do as far as that issue. It isnt a known issue as far as the device. Has anyone noticed this? Or am I crazy lol? I looked online and some people say they were able to get a replacement. I think I will call again tomorrow. Is there a quick fix or should I just prepare to ship it in to tmobile and start the unrooting process.

this is my first mytouch 4g. i sorta blame it on myself but the phone is in perfect condition. im pretty much stuck with it until i buy the g2x next week
hey
pm me for one..i can help.( or at least try)
also i know money people wont look at this post but the same thing happened to my nexus one, the phone is perfectly fine but i guess months of pressing it too hard to get it into boot loader etc etc.. depressed the button underneath the powerbutton so nowi have a nexus on my draw that i cant get fixed htc said theys do it for 198 or 98 one of the 2 either way they can suck it im sure its not that hard to fix
so everyone take it easy on your power buttons they mess up every now and then
as for waranty and insurance i dont have any i think the insurance company is a rip off 6 dollars a month to just send u a refurbished phone that will have the same problem if not a new one in a couple of weeks if not months.
So a couple of days ago I got the OTA Gingerbread update. After the update my phone has had some problems. When I text, the buttons stop vibrating sometimes. And also some of my contacts on the messaging app just show up as phone numbers. So please tell me what may be happening.
Can't offer any explanations but keep in mind, ota updates can be problematic because its insalling on top of what's currently installed, as opposed to wiping and doing a clean install.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
I would suggest taking the phone in or possibly better off calling tech support and have them re push the update and go from there...or just root it and flash a custom ROM and enjoy the phone how it should've been.

The only problem to rooting my phone is that I might want to trade it in for another Inspire, because the screen is starting to pop out of the phone in the bottom left corner. I just don't want my phone to void the warrenty, and make it so I can't return it.

I've returned 2 phone because of that, 1st one was within the original 30 days and 2nd one was after and I thankfully have a tech warranty center close by.
How ever on the second one, a refurb I don't have working GPS and the guy would not let me exchange it again and gave me a number for HTC to call and get it exchanged that way, why I'm not sure but it may have been my fault any way. Lol

Is it possible to unlock the network on the phone? And also to S-Off+Root ? I'd like to buy it at that low price
as of yet there is no sim unlock tool nor is there an S-OFF tool, There is HTCDev which will unlock the bootloader to allow you to flash ROMS and ROOT and CWM Recovery, But thats all your getting for now...
give it 1 - 2 weeks the development will skyrocket.
So you think that they could do that?
Of course !! have a look around the forums, There is NOTHING these devs cant do..
hell im running ICS on a 2 year old SGS lol and it works flawlessly...
you'll be suprised whats about to come
I hope so, found some crazy prices on the internet for the T-mobile one s, but we have no T-mobile here..
The low prices on the One S are on a 2-year contract. The phone itself is $600 off contract.
But there will be root and S-Off soon as the phone comes out in a few days.

amazon is a big ole warehouse. They don't do anything but get products in and send products out. Any changes are coming probably straight from HTC when shipped.
I'm in the same boat. Got one from an att store after they got released from customs. Happy with the phone so far, but hopeful a root method is found for 1.85.
i will be getting mine in about 2-2.5 hours from now.... excited cant wait and im sure ill have 1.85 on it will update if found other wise
Got mines from the my local att store, first shipment they had since custom. And yup came loaded with 1.85.....pissed but I'll wait.

I got my gray One X from a local corporate AT&T store yesterday. Came with 1.85 preinstalled... Hopefully there'll be a root before my 30 day return expires, I like this phone but I NEED root and custom roms. Otherwise I'm returning it and going back to my Inspire with CM.

cant you just "upgrade" to the leaked RUU 1.88 then root and do what you want?
As far as I know the 1.88 won't install as it isn't meant for this phone.
I got a grey rooted & bootloader unlocked. If anyone is really serious about root, I can trade for a white one, I really don't care much about root n bootloader. pm me.

Weird. Thats the newest hardware with the oldest firmware. Either way it doesn't matter as there is a root for everything right now. Good thing you got the latest hardware though.
I'd like to go ahead and confirm my experience here too.
The first four characters of my serial number are "HT24". It's not as recent as the OP's, but I'd like to think it's relatively new.
At any rate, I received a warranty replacement with 1.73.
Moreover, it came with SuperCID 111111 and the "re-locked" identifier. This doesn't particularly perturb me as it saved me a few seconds when unlocking. Yeah, I ended up with someone's leftovers with some newer parts.
Battery life on the replacement is around 5.5 hours of screentime with 30% brightness and LTE enabled. I think refurb is preferable since it's cosmetically pristine and every part has been tested more stringently than a factory original.
It's odd that they aren't being re locked and cid reset. Is refurbishment done by AT&T or the manufacturer typically?

Typically, refurbishments are done by the manufacturer. AT&T just serves as an intermediate in the process that makes sure you have a phone as quick as possible. Once they receive our broken phones, they have the pleasure of doing what we did not want to do - deal with HTC.
If you had to deal with the manufacturer directly, you would be looking at two to three weeks for a replacement device.

HTC refurbs them and AT&T is the distributor for warranty exchanges. You're lucky though... AT&T usually doesn't take devices that were tampered with.

HTC seems to be very understanding. Unless it's bricked or something directly related to unlocking the bootloader I doubt they care. And legally they can't. It's like taking your car in for warranty repair on the engine and they void the warranty because you installed better brake pads.
