Now we all should know about Android rooting. Most of us know that it can void your warranty. This is not true. Samsung can claim all they want that rooting will void the warranty. Not true at all! I had a nice chat with Samsung Live Support (Real nice people) and had a deep discussion about this topic and the Magnuson-Moss warranty act (blocks people from voiding a warranty due to a hardware mod(in this case rooting) and it is not void). This is the best news I got all day (We will bring the handset in for evaluation, and the repair technician will determine if the cause of damage is due to defect or an external source. If a defect is found due to external source, you will receive an email with the option to pay for repair. If the damage is not caused by external source, the device will be repaired UNDER WARRANTY). To sum it up for lazy people( If the cause of defect is from rooting, warranty is void and prices will be charged for repairs. If the defect is not from root like headphone jack or some buttons break or even screen, Warranty is clear and no charges will need paid.) Now we know we can root without void warranty unless root causes problems. If you have anything to add about this or have found a loophole where the warranty is always void please state it. Thanks for reading. Happy modding!
