hey guys.
i have a xperia j (rooted) , i know that xperia's dont have binary counter , i guess .
so my question is how i check if my phone is available to warranty .
anyone?
Well, if you still have warranty left and your speakers stop working(or something like that). You can simply unroot with SuperSU, and your warranty magically returns!
Hope I helped and have a nice day!

Being rooted does not invalidate your warranty as the superuser apps are in the playstore.
This was a European Court ruling.

Hi XDA Members,
I'm a newbie in term of using Android based phone. I've been reading a lot about rooting the phone which actually makes sense give you the super power to control the phone.
But here is my concern, is rooting the phone known as Cracking/Hacking the phone. Now is its a yes, I'm still willing to do that but would like to know if it will void its warranty. 2nd, if I root my phone and for any reason I would like to switch back to the orignal OS will it un-void the warranty as in the phone would be like I purchased it!!!
Waiting for input quite excited to explore the Android world...I have sony ericsson x10 mino pro *SK17i*...
Thanks,
Sam
Yeah you are correct, you have to use flashtool, SEUS or Pc Companion to flash back to stock rom/fw and your phone will no longer be rooted therefore warrenty is no longer void

Hey guys,
since more than a month i am using the xperia active from Sony Ericsson and i ve still guarantee on it.
It s an awesome smartphone, but sometimes the RAM is overloaded and it starts to lag.
Then the battery works for just a day, because of the background-apps, then i ve to charge it again... really annoying
Thats why i want to root my smartphone. Actually i ve ICS(4.0.4) on it (before it was 2.3 or sth.) and i would like to keep it, but on it i want superuser rights. Therefore i found "zergrush" from doomlord, but in other threads i just read thats for Android 2.2/2.3 ...
Is it possible to root my phone without loosing my guarantee (to make root "nearly" unseen after unroot, in case of warranty) on that device?
(sorry for my bad english, i hope you understood my situation and give me some answers )
greetings Red :angel:
You can try rooting using Doomlords method for ICS
Flash a stock kernel of 4.0.3
Root it using Doomlords kit
PS its a batch file
Flash back 4.0.4 kernel
Done !!!

[ROOT][FTF][locked/unlocked]Neo/Neo V Official 4.0.4 ICS 4.1.B.0.431; 4.1.B.0.587
This is for Neo
But yours is also similar phone so might work
Try at your own risk

So read a few threads beforehand !

Noo, dont root. Youll get stuck in fastboot and spend $12 on repairs!

Whether you're going to root it or not is up to u. However, if u do root and u want to make it unseen or unroot, flashing an official stock rom removes the root data.
i read a thread that made a few things clear, i cant remember who posted it (sorry) but it just said that if they cant prove that u rooting your phone is the cause of whatever wrnt rong with your phone, they will still have to fix it under the warranty.
I also never heard of anyone messing up their android as a result of rooting.
Im not saying jump into it and root your android, be careful as we are always warned that their are risks onvolved and developers knows best

For sure root it´s the best option for anyone that like to customize the system.
You should try superoneclick its a program which basically roots your your phone for you, gives you superuser and there shouldn't be drastic changes to your OS either
google it and download then go to youtube and follow a tutorial such as youtubeDOTcom/watch?v=lD4_wAj1WIY (sorry cant post links yet)
As for warranties I'm not sure but this is the safest and easiest method I'm aware of
but you should probably make sure it works on your phone and make a backup before you try it
a friend of mine give me a sony experia e but the wifi wont pick up any networks just stays at (searching for wireless network) window would be appreciated if some could shed some light on what it might be or what might fix it! thanks for taking the time to look at my thread
Does it have a custom ROM? Might be a bug with the ROM. Other option is that the WiFi module is broken, like mine was. But luckly my phone was under warranty, so they changed it (for free)

Well It Happened To Me Due To Flashing Kernels So You Can Try Flashing Any Custom Rom Again With The Kernel In The Zip..
i have bought a new xperia l with warrenty from a local shop.After 2 months i opened the camera of my xperia and i got the message of "Camer Not Available" I tried to claim the warrenty but the shopkeeper said that this is a hardware issue and we dont give warrenty of hardware but i realise that this is not the hardware issue beacuse both cameras are not working i can send file from blutooth but i cannot receive any file.ive searched all over the web about this problem but i couldn't find any solution.I have also done the "Resetting the camera app cache and tried again after reseting the phone but still facing the same problem i also tried to downgrade and upgrade the phone to 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 but the problem is still there so i thought of making a thread here.Please can anyone tell me what should i do i cant even sell the phone like this
I also have that problem, just restart your phone daily, and that should be working.
I also have that problem on 4.1 but after on 4.2, it is gone....

Thanks AlvinZahran98 But i have a question do i have to simply reset the phone daily or by other types like in receovery mode or something like that
do you have any other camera app installed?
No i dont have any other camera app installed but i tried to download camera 360 but it also gives an error that hardware is off or currently disabled i uninstalled the app and tried to clear the cache of camera but after rebooting the phone i faced the same problem
Did you try to "repair" with SUS or flashing fresh ftf with flashtool?

I recommend you to take your Xperia L to service centre,
I'm afraid that is a hardware problem, but let's hope I'm wrong..
But if you tried to repair your phone software with SUS or PCC or both and still haven't got any luck, then if you go to service centre and they say they will repair the software of your phone, and they say with ' their own software ', and they say " all your data will be lost ", don't do that, that thing happened to me before, when my Xperia L have an 'always restarting' bug a year ago, they said like that, and my phone is still restarting all of the time which makes my heart hurt, because all my data are lost...

Do you know which parts have been changed?
Hi.
Lately I 've been bugging with the inability to operate the sd card and I was thinking to try rooting my Z3...
Still I dont want to change anything, but to get su in the console and to be able to use the SD...
Also I have warranty with Sony which I would like to keep.
So is there such un option? All I see in #dev is cyanogen or smth...

BTW...you shouldn't have any problems on 5.0.2, everything is working.
And yeah...root on Sony device won't void warranty.
You can always "unroot" your device...
I was using Z3 few days without root and stupid popups and banners destroyed me...

Thanks for the info.
Still the fix in lollipop ? is a workaround or is works like in ICS ?
