Root Phone died, won't turn on... rooted.

[AmneonX]

I have the droid x, and I had it plugged into my computer at work to charge. I was looking at it and it turned off on me. I unplugged it, did a battery pull or two and nothing. I ordered a new one with over night shipping from verizon.

My question is, am I going to have any problems with the phone because it is rooted? Its not overclocked, or anything like that, but is rooted.

Nevermind. I got it to power on.

if its rooted i would advise not to have it replaced under warranty. Rooting voids the warranty and if they discover it(which they will) you will be slapped with a $300 non-refundable non-negotiable fee.

Not to mention they could make you pay full price for the new phone. And then end your service, and charge you and ETF.

This is where the moral ground comes in when you root a device, you are stepping out of the area of protection of a warranty. Its like taking your high performance car and particpating in a racing event, and trying to make a warranty claim after you blew the motor.

if your going to mod your phone accept the risks, and if you brick it. Buy a new or LNIB used one, don't be an ass and try and use the warranty because you did something to screw up your phone. In the long run everyone will suffer from more locked down devices because of this type of behavior.

If Verizon chooses to terminate your service you are not charged an ETF.

Maybe you should read the TOS.
