Does flashing to KG5 with odin void warranty?

So, does it?
Also what's the difference between KG5 and KG7.
I live in the Netherlends (EU) so can I flash to either one?\
And would there be a way to go back to my current rom?
Thanks in advance.

Flashing another ROM from the original will void your warranty but you can go back to original and un root in most devices

[Q] How to restore to complete stock?

I have to send my TF300T in for repair. My bootloader is unlocked and I have a custom rom. How do I return to complete stock? I need to be back on the stock rom and recovery. I was on the 4.2 update before I rooted and put the rom on it. Thanks for the help!

There is no way to relock the bootloader. They will bring that up during repair, and your warranty will be voided, so you will have to pay for the repairs out of pocket.
To get back to stock, flash the stock ROM. The latest US stock on is this.
For other regions, just look here.

Return to stock only if you don't want root. If you do want root. You don't want OTA

You can have ota and root, as long as you don't have a custom recovery. once you get the update you loose root, and have to root it back. just don't install a custom recovery if you want ota updates
As for getting ota back, you will have to flash stock images. that means wiping your device..

Actually you can OTA with root AND a custom recovery. However my real point is just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD... And if that isn't clear - rooted users shouldn't rely on or think about OTAs.

If you really want to... Even though people are telling you you don't need to..
Just grab the factory images, inside update.zip there's recovery.img, flash that with fastboot.

Why do we go through this every time there is an update?

Lost dev bootloader updating to PD1, any hope?

Hey everyone, in an attempt to update my baseband, I ended up losing developer bootloader status, and I'm now on stock PD1. Is there any hope for me to be able to regain root/unlocked bootloader? I tried flashing PB1, and it would flash alright, but got stuck on the Verizon logo animation.
I'm willing to try just about anything to get cyanogenmod back!

I would suggest that you first need to wipe your cache and dalvik, data as well if you want best results; then flash back to stock PB1. Re-root PB1, re unlock the bootloader of PB1, and then follow the instructions here regarding upgrading to PD1 with an unlocked bootloader (it is found on the OP of the thread that tells you how to unlock your bootloader. You should end up with the rooted version of whatever rom you are after while still having an unlocked PD1 bootloader.

Perfect, thanks! I believe I tried that but it's possible I didn't do it right, so I'll try again.
