Rooting my Android

[MilksAreUs]

I know rooting voids the warranty of the users phone, but what is a warranty? Can I still get the phone fixed if it brakes? Thanks :)

Warranty is their guarantee to repair or replace the product if it breaks or anything happens that isn't caused by you (i.e dropping your phone).

If you root it and it breaks, they'll send it back untouched as you've voided the warranty. They're under no obligation to repair or replace your phone as you've broken the terms of their agreement.

Can always factory reset if you **** it up somehow (unless you manage to brick it but that's unlikely, and even then I think in most cases you can unbrick an Android through factory reset)

If the phone did brake, and I factory reset the phone, will it be plain un-rooted android software again (meaning I could send it to the phone company for repair)?

It'll still be rooted, but you'd be able to flash a stock firmware back onto the phone. I recommend downloading and saving a stock firmware somewhere before you root it, just so you have a copy handy.

Depends, some manufacturers will repair it if it was a hardware failure.

Others wont touch it, and some phones to root you need an unlocked bootloader, and you can't relock them all the time and some manufacturers wont touch them if you unlock the bootloader (Most actually)
