Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] Insurance and rooting and Triangle Away

[thatguy96]

I just got my S3 and was thinking about rooting it. I also have the 5$ per moth insurance for metro. So, if there was a hardware problem and i was rooted, would the insurance cover that? This wouldn't be much of an issue if Triangle Away supported the S3 for metro
Edit: By hardware issues, i mean something unrelated to rooting such as screen issue or buttons not working properly.

I heard from one user that metro won't check the flash counter. I even heard from another that he openly told them he had rooted and they still replaced his phone.

Your call but I'm rooted and happy.

@micke28 and airtioteclient thanks for the response its just that this phone was a very big investment i even decided to lower the budget by choosing the $30 plan...in my area there are only unauthorized stores do they check at all or twrp or flash counter?

Well I can't say for sure but from those two accounts they don't. Since you have insurance you can just make sure that there's "nothing" left for them to check. Heh heh.

@airtioteclint sorry if is ound like an idiot but by there being nothing left do you mean unrooting through superuser.apk or by flashing the stock images nuttmeg posted?

Yeah we can go back to stock but that damn flash counter is the problem. I pm'ed you.

 

[thatguy96]

Yeah i replied back thanks for your guys' solutions very helpful

Still no reply from the dev over at xda about adding our SIII to the list, but the stores here never checks.

 

[thatguy96]

yeah i guess its no big deal if the flash counter does not reset but it would be damn useful =)
