Is Wotanclient void warranty?

[mkaraagac42]

It seems ICS not coming before may to Turkey. If we upgrade our phone via wotanclient , is it out of warranty?

[Nabeel · Accepted solution]

yup

using any unofficial software to install custom roms result in warranty void

[mkaraagac42]

somebody says  it wont void warranty because this firmwares are official. im confused.

[Nabeel]

wait i am messaging uli

it could void your warranty, it all depend on your country

1) if you "unlock your bootloader" it WILL void your warranty

2) if you "root" w/o unlocking your bootloader it shouldn't void your warranty, you can unroot and send it for repair

3) flashing other software could void your warranty in certain countries, but you can always flash the original firmware

everybody says that firmwares on wotanclient are official,is it true?

so if we wont unlock bootloader and  root phone , it wouldnt void warranty,will it?

you can either use wotanserver or you can use flashtool, you are NOT flashing a custom ROM you are debranding or flashing a different official firmware, again I can't say that it won't void your warranty, bc Sony could say that since you mess with the software that was the cause of your phone acting up, if that ever happen.
